USSR 1941

This is actually a very simple reason, because if the enemy knows how you will fight, or how you want you to fight, then they will be prepared, and they will even spend several years of training to format every step, so On the battlefield, you can always make the best response or choice with the fastest speed.

This is also battlefield experience and military quality.

For example, the German army, because they summed up their previous combat experience and then passed on this combat experience to recruits through veterans or instructors, so that recruits have the quality of not losing to enemy veterans or even surpassing enemy veterans as soon as they enter the battlefield.

In fact, German recruits usually don't go directly to the front line to face the enemy... The German army has a system of new barracks, and recruits recruited from the rear first enter the new barracks.

In the new barracks, there will be veteran officers telling them what the current battlefield is like, and then the recruits will be given necessary pre-battle training and perform some less dangerous tasks according to the situation.

On the one hand, this allows soldiers to better understand the battlefield situation, and on the other hand, it allows recruits to have a buffer and adaptation stage.

Therefore, the casualty rate of recruits will naturally be greatly reduced, and finally the goal of rational use of every human resource will be achieved.

On the other hand, in the Soviet Army, too many soldiers were sent to the battlefield to directly face the enemy after only basic training, which made many soldiers with combat talents or command talents grow up before they had time to develop. Died by the enemy's gun.

This can be said to be a loss.

The advantage is that the short training period can mobilize a large number of troops in a short time, and these "massive troops" are directly thrown on the battlefield. After suffering several battlefield casualties, the remaining soldiers will naturally grow into experienced veterans.

For the Soviet Union, although the proportion of veterans who grew up was small, the number was still considerable.

In the middle and late stages of the German army, even because of insufficient troops, this "recruit battalion" system has existed in name only, and recruits are also sent to the front line to fight as soon as they enter the army.

But before that, the German troops had a set of experience and a formatted system for regular combat on the battlefield. German soldiers didn't even need to think or ask for instructions. When the Soviet army launched an attack, they could just follow the system.

Under such circumstances, the Soviet army with insufficient training and insufficient quality will of course suffer from a regular battle with the German army.

But if we fight with a different tactic and fight unconventional warfare, for example, on the night when a large-scale counterattack should have been launched against the German army,

Shulka chose to let the Soviet army sneak attack.

"They don't need to occupy any territory!" Shulka said. "There is also no time limit. They just need to throw a few grenades or fire a few rockets at the enemy's hideout, and then return after dawn!"

This time Dimitri did not object, and he quickly assigned the task.

Perhaps, Dimitri also wanted to see what would happen if Shulka fought like this. Anyway, it would not lose much troops.

As a result, teams of soldiers took squads as units to lurk and infiltrate towards the German defense line.

This is a bit like touching holes on Laoshan during the Sino-Vietnamese War, except that the terrain is not a mountain but an urban ruin.

This infiltration of the Soviet army was not without purpose.

The trainee units have undergone relevant training. They guide NKVD soldiers on the front line to operate and conduct on-the-spot command and coordination.

Usually the sniper sets the target first.

This target is relatively important and also very stealthy or difficult to suppress with sniper rifles or mortars.

For example, the machine gun position built by windows and sandbags in the middle of the building... Because it is in the center of the building, curved guns such as mortars are basically incapable of it.

Another example is bunker fortification.

Many of these bunker fortifications were even constructed by the Soviet army and transformed by the German army. They cannot be blown up with mortars. At the same time, because of the small number of perforations, it is difficult for snipers to pose a threat to the targets hiding in them.

Even in the previous sniper battles, the German army was equipped with periscopes in the bunker fortifications. Observers observed the Soviet positions through the periscopes and then reported the location of the Soviet snipers to friendly forces.

For this kind of target, the Soviet sniper force has nothing to do.

Because these bunker fortifications are low in size and strong in structure, shells are not easy to hit, and even if they hit directly, they may not be able to blow them up.

Of course, only these targets require Soviet soldiers to infiltrate them and blow them up.

As a result, the battle situation has changed.

This time is a bit slow, because this kind of infiltration is quite a bit more patience... The Soviet sniper is responsible for suppressing the German army, and the mortar artillery is responsible for attracting the attention of the German army to provide cover for the commando.

In this case, the commando crawled forward in the dark like snails in the corners of the ruins and in various dark places. Sometimes they only took a few minutes to crawl forward, and sometimes they took a risky leap forward. He disguised himself as a corpse, and then advanced all the way under the cover of the corpse.

It should be said that most Soviet soldiers were not good at doing this, because they were not patient people, and they preferred to rush forward under the cover of artillery fire compared to this kind of battle.

Another reason is that such a battle requires a good psychological quality.

If you charge with a gun, there will be a group effect, that is, everyone is charging, no matter how scared the individual is, they will involuntarily follow the crowd and charge forward, and the charge of the group can also embolden the individual.

This kind of lurking warfare is not the case. I lie on the ground and move forward slowly. I am alone in the darkness, with corpses, blood, darkness, and the muzzle of the enemy not far ahead...Once found out, it is a dead end, especially When climbing halfway, there will be a sense of collapse, just like a mountaineer who wants to give up but can't give up after climbing halfway. Outsiders can't understand the helpless feeling of wanting to cry without tears.

These are all psychological tortures and tests, and they are long-term and continuous.

The result of not being able to stand this kind of test is to go to extremes.

There are two extreme manifestations: one is to simply get up from the ground holding grenades and explosives and rush forward.

The other is to drop the equipment and escape...

There were both situations in the first raid, which made the Germans a little baffled. They didn't understand why someone suddenly ran away in the middle of the defense line. In the dark, they even thought that their own people were charging and didn't shoot.

But soon they figured it out.

Because suddenly a grenade with green smoke flew into their bunker, or a rocket roared and went straight to the perforation.

"Enemy attack!" the German officer shouted: "They are right in front of us, find them, and send them to hell!"
