Who was the general who broke the "Heavenly Furnace Tactics" in Japan during World War II?
.
In the fourth Changsha Battle, the Japanese No.1 1 1 Army designed the tactics to crack the cupola after receiving a lot of local support.
.
The core of cupola tactics is an elite army hiding in a city. After a small-scale engagement with the Japanese army, the frontline troops did not stick to the Japanese shelling, but retreated, but not in a straight line, but slowly retreated to the flank of the Japanese attack direction with the Japanese attack route as the center line and the outer eight-character route.
Because in the previous battles, the national army did not fight to the death, and the losses were not great, so it was basically able to maintain sufficient organizational structure and strength, so it was able to retreat and not collapse. Moreover, the retreating national army is rarely pursued by the Japanese army because it is out of the main direction of the Japanese army.
In this way, when the main force of the Japanese army marched, the national army retreated troops to form a flank threat to the Japanese army.
When the Japanese main force attacks the city where the national army is located, the defenders of the city must fight to the death to hold off the Japanese main force.
At the same time, other countries' troops retreating from the outer eight-character route launched a centripetal attack on the Japanese flank and supply line.
This tactic was formed in the first battle of Changsha, and was used many times later, which can effectively contain the frontal attack of the Japanese army.
.
During the Fourth Changsha Campaign, tojo hideki just came to power, and then he made a large-scale recruitment in China, replacing a large number of troops of the Kwantung Army with new recruits and enriching the No.1 1 1 Army stationed in Wuhan. The tactics designed by the 1 1 army commander (like Yokoyama Yong) cracked the cupola tactics.
The tactics of the Japanese army are also very simple, because the Japanese army has abundant troops, so it has formed a double attack level. The first-tier troops attacked in a straight line along the attack route, and the second-tier troops fell behind.
When the retreating troops of the national army launched a centripetal counterattack, they collided with the Japanese army on the second floor-and the Japanese army was in a favorable position to attack the flank of the national army, so the Japanese army could defeat the national army by virtue of its firepower advantage.
Relying on this tactic and abundant troops, the 11 th Japanese Army has been hitting Guilin.
On the other hand, the national army that lacked understanding of the new tactics of the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, and a large number of national army troops originally planned to attack the Japanese flank were attacked by the Japanese army.
