This is actually the charm of the mechanized troops.

The role of mechanized troops on the battlefield is not as simple as being able to quickly reach a designated position and commit to combat. Its greater role is often something that can be done twice, three times or even more troops cannot do.

Simply put, if the enemy is in the east and north, and there are only one hundred people on our side, from the comparison of such forces, it seems that the enemy's strength is twice that of our side. If training factors are not considered, then its combat effectiveness should be twice that of our side.

But if our 100 men are mechanized troops, they can quickly maneuver on both sides of the east and north, that is, they will hit the east and the north, and they will all take a look at the enemy's weak points and then retreat immediately after successfully attacking. This will make the battlefield situation completely different.

First of all, our side can basically be used as two hundred people, because the enemies on the east and north sides must always be wary of the sneak attacks of one hundred enemies, which means that the situation is similar to the situation where they face one hundred enemies respectively. In other words, fast maneuvering almost doubles the combat effectiveness of the troops instantly.

Secondly, it is to quickly maneuver to make advanced tactics possible, such as attacking the enemy's weak points and then retreating with one blow.

This is also the main reason why cavalry can become kings during cold weapons combat... This does not mean that the combat effectiveness of cavalry is much stronger than infantry. In fact, if a hard-defense cavalry is really hard-defending in person, it is not much stronger than infantry... Infantry can set up formations in positions, set up tripping ropes, trap horse pits, etc. During the Han Dynasty, Li Ling led 5,000 infantry to fight with 80,000 Huns for eight days and eight nights, and he had to surrender until he used up his arrows.

What is really powerful about the cavalry is its mobility, which allows it to find the enemy's weaknesses at will, such as logistics supply lines, rear commands, etc. to carry out raids or interspers, divisions, and surrounds, and then eat them one by one.

This is how Zhang Chi uses.

If it was in the past, the Japanese army had a higher degree of mechanization, that is, the Japanese army's march speed was generally faster, so it was undoubtedly very dangerous to expose the flanks... The Japanese army's interspersed troops could intersperse to the right wing of the squadron as they pleased and look for weak points to attack. Because it has faster mobility, the squadron must be several times or even dozens of times the strength of the troops to defend... Any point of the defense line of hundreds of kilometers may be the breakthrough of the Japanese army, so any point needs to be defended.

This is also one of the reasons why Wu Xuexin previously thought it was impossible to actually promise "attack instead of defense"... To defend the right wing of hundreds of kilometers, one more army must be invested.

But now, because the squadron has stronger mobility and the advantages of people and air reconnaissance, it is almost enough to save this army and replace it with a regiment's fast mobile force... It is clear where the enemy is interspersed, how many people are, and where they are located. Then the regiment's fast mobile force strikes the enemy's interspersed forces under the cover of air force... This can achieve targeted defense.

"Do you know how the Mongolian cavalry dealt with the enemy?" Zhang Chi asked.

"Mongolian cavalry?"

"Yes!" Zhang Chi replied: "Mongolian cavalry often defeats enemies that are several times or even dozens of times on the battlefield. They do not rely on letting the cavalry slash and kill the enemy. If they do, no matter how powerful a Mongolian cavalry is, it is impossible for a Mongolian cavalry to attack the enemy's supply. They do rely on their mobility to track the enemy while harasse them, sneak attacks them from time to time, and wait for the enemy to be exhausted and lose their fighting spirit, and win with one blow!"

"Although cavalry is going to be eliminated in this era, this does not mean that the tactics of Mongolian cavalry cannot be used. Although the Japanese also have cars, we have planes, tanks, and half-tracked armored vehicles... So, we are Mongolian cavalry, and the Japanese are the infantry who are exhausted and inevitably eaten in the end, do you understand?"

Wu Xuexin pointed and said, "Master! I know what to do!"

"Very good!" Zhang Chi read admiration from Wu Xuexin's eyes, so Zhang Chi knew that Wu Xuexin really understood.

On the plane back to Shenyang, Wu Xuexin still couldn't get out of the combat scene described by Zhang Chi just now... In fact, this surprised him and felt ashamed.

I was surprised because Wu Xuexin couldn't believe that these were the ideas of a young man in his early twenties.

I am ashamed that Wu Xuexin has only realized that this is because he has only realized that the battles he has fought for over ten years have been in vain. To be more precise, he has been fighting in a mess and has not learned anything after the battle.

And Zhang Chi's fighting style is called war... no, it should be called art.

However, the fact is not exactly like Wu Xuexin thought. The reason is that this kind of maneuver defense or active defense tactic has high requirements for equipment and intelligence, such as having air superiority. If there is no air superiority, the mobile troops will easily be defeated by enemy fighter jets, and the purpose of maneuver defense cannot be achieved.

In other words, if Zhang Chi is in the equipment and environment, then Zhang Chi is afraid that he will be the one who is educated.

"Military throne!" Seeing Wu Xuexin silent, Staff Lin came up again and said, "I think Zhang Chi thinks things too simple, so it's not so easy for the Japanese..."

"Staff Officer Lin!" Wu Xuexin interrupted Staff Officer Lin and said, "I heard that a staff officer in the 1st Regiment of the 116th Division was injured by a landmine?"

"Yes!" Chief Consul Lin replied: "What happened yesterday!"

"You go and make up!" Wu Xuexin said: "You will report after getting off the plane!"

When Chief Lin heard this, he was stunned.

Zhang Chi on the other side finally had some free time. He straightened his body outside the car and waved his hands casually, kicking his legs... After sitting in the car for a long time, he felt a little sore in the back.

"Master!" At this time, Zhang Qinghou brought a bowl of porridge to Zhang Chi and said, "Drink while it's hot!"

"Yo, where did it come from?" Zhang Chi asked curiously.

"My fellow villagers gave us some rice!" Zhang Qinghou replied: "I just got it done when you were having a discussion with the army, and it was hot several times!"

Because he couldn't stand the smell of porridge, Zhang Chi took the bowls and chopsticks and drank them "huh".

As he drank, Zhang Chi couldn't help feeling sad... Now even drinking a bowl of porridge has become a pleasure, but many soldiers don't even have time to enjoy it. They have to fight for all the time and launch an attack on the enemy as quickly as possible... So this blitzkrieg is really hard to fight!
