The knight in the big world of American TV series

However, war is a complex activity. War is a kind of behavior in which collectives, groups, organizations, factions, countries, and governments use violence, attacks, and killings against each other. It is carried out by hostile parties to achieve certain political, economic, territorial and other purposes. Armed combat. Since war is often triggered by politicians rather than soldiers, war is also regarded as an extreme means of politics and diplomacy. War is the continuation of politics, which is a basic point of Marxist war theory. War is a tool and means to achieve political goals, and fighting military wars is also a political war, an economic war, and a diplomatic war.

War is closely related to the political, economic, military, scientific and technological factors of the opposing parties, and is also fought under certain natural conditions such as time and geographical environment. These factors and conditions, coupled with people's subjective initiative, constitute the whole of the war, promote the development of the war, and lead to a certain outcome. War is a continuation of politics. Politics determines the ultimate purpose of war, and war serves certain political purposes. When the political conflicts between the two opposing parties become so acute that they cannot be resolved by peaceful means, they resort to force, that is, they use war to achieve their respective political goals. The political purpose of a war defines and embodies the nature of the war, affects the support of people's hearts, and restricts the outcome of the war. The restrictive effect of politics on war also reflects the scale, intensity, duration, strategic goals, combat policies, and combat methods of modern wars. The spiritual power in war also comes from politics, and revolutionary political work is the lifeline of revolutionary war. But war is not equal to ordinary politics, it is the politics of bloodshed; war is not equal to ordinary political action, it is the highest form of political struggle. War has its own special organization, special methods, and special forms, that is, the army and its command system, strategies and tactics, and the alternate use of offensive and defensive advance and retreat, etc.

Victory of the strong and defeat of the weak is the general law of war. The main components of an army are people and weapons and equipment, and people are the decisive factor. In order for the weak to defeat the strong, they must give full play to the role of human factors, master advanced military thinking and implement correct war guidance, and use their strengths and avoid weaknesses in order to defeat the opponent. War develops with the development of weapons and equipment. When the military engages in modern warfare, it must strengthen its own modernization and continuously improve its combat capabilities under information conditions to adapt to the requirements of war in the information age. The evolution of war forms and the strength of war forces are both restricted by science and technology. Science and technology are important driving forces for the development and changes of war. Major breakthroughs in science and technology and their priority application in war will inevitably lead to changes in weapons and equipment, military organizational structure and combat methods, and the shape, scale, intensity, and scope of war will also change. Science and technology are important factors that determine the strength of combat effectiveness and affect the outcome of wars. Among the elements of military combat effectiveness, weapons and equipment are the materialized form of military technology, and the combination of weapons and personnel is also restricted by the level of scientific and technological development. Especially under the conditions of informationization, the content of science and technology in war is getting larger and larger, accounting for an increasingly higher proportion of the various elements that constitute combat effectiveness, and its role in improving various elements of combat effectiveness is becoming more and more prominent. The growth of military combat effectiveness is very important To a large extent, this was achieved through the advancement of science and technology and its application in military affairs.

In short, this cannot be summed up in just a few sentences.

In short, this thing is very complicated.

So regardless of whether Egypt has the upper hand now, according to the analysis of observers from various countries, if we look at it alone, the current situation between Egypt and the Little Overlord is.

There is no doubt that the bully has the upper hand.

Yes, Egypt has received a lot of aid, but there is another saying, that is, to forge iron, you need to be strong yourself.

Egypt's foundation is too poor.

In the early stage, they could indeed rely on assistance to achieve outstanding results, but soon, they discovered... war is indeed the most expensive activity!

In just one week, the Egyptian army on the front line began to become desperate.

They need a lot of things. Their equipment is originally from the IWC brand, and with the assistance of various countries, the maintenance and replacement of all weapons and equipment has become a big problem.

Such as cannonballs!

This thing may seem inconspicuous, but it actually tests the country's military-industrial system!

This thing requires a variety of industrial combinations to take shape. It cannot be made in an arsenal. Of course, if you are really good at rubbing it, that's up to you. As for whether the final product can be guaranteed, it depends on the sky!

Cannonballs are very, very important.

Don't look at those war movies where everyone is fighting with guns, but in fact, it is useless. Artillery is the real king of war. Before analyzing the status of the King of Artillery War, let’s first clarify the types of artillery. Artillery can be divided into ground suppression artillery, anti-tank artillery, anti-aircraft guns, aviation guns, naval guns and coastal defense guns according to their uses. What we are most familiar with is ground suppression artillery, which is divided into mortars, cannons, howitzers, rocket launchers and other types.

The operational purpose of artillery in war is to provide artillery support in the rear, rather than to engage the enemy directly on the front line. Therefore, the tanks we know well are equipped with artillery but are not artillery weapons. Rocket launchers are another type of artillery that is different from traditional artillery.

At present, modern artillery can already fire various types of shells, including high-explosive shells, armor-piercing shells, anti-tank missiles, etc. They have become one of the indispensable weapons of the modern army. At the same time, artillery technology is constantly being updated and developed to make it more accurate and efficient. Artillery is the main force. 80% of the casualties on the battlefield of World War II were caused by artillery. Artillery is low-cost, easy to maintain, mature in technology, relatively simple to control, highly lethal, and rich in ammunition, including armor-piercing projectiles, guided artillery shells, extended-range projectiles, illumination bombs, and rockets. , and even more frantically used nuclear bombs. During the war. Artillery is the only weapon that can provide long-term, large-area, high-destructive fire support at low cost regardless of terrain or weather. This cannot be done by aircraft, let alone missiles. Nowadays, technology has added advanced technologies such as fire control to artillery. Howitzer, cannon and howitzer can reach 40 kilometers without guidance, with an error within 10 meters. Improvements in chassis technology of self-propelled artillery have allowed gun positions to move faster and faster. During a confrontation, a howitzer battery with 6 guns can drop about 40 rounds of artillery shells on a unit area in one minute. A 155mm howitzer shell can hit an area as large as half a football field. No one can survive unless you squat in a shell-proof hole.

A single salvo of rocket launchers can cover an area of ​​approximately 650 meters x 650 meters. There is a loading cart that can be loaded and fired again in 3-5 minutes. Without a way to discover and destroy artillery emplacements, ground forces, whether tanks or infantry, would be unable to withstand them. The shells will come as well as the rain. . Even if you find out, even if the towed artillery is used in training now, the artillery position will be changed immediately after a few minutes of firing. Not to mention the faster self-propelled artillery. Even during the war the artillery positions were found destroyed. A single soldier can build a dirt slope and place a rocket shell and a battery for simple shooting.

The artillery can be fired even if it is not completely destroyed and blown to bits. In addition, artillery does not only refer to the cannon tube in the impression. Portable mortars and shipboard phalanxes now exist in every branch of the military. Artillery remains the god of war. Aircraft and missiles still cannot shake the status of artillery.

Egypt actually has no shortage of artillery. Countries have provided a lot of support. Anyway, there are various types of artillery. There are also many old-fashioned artillery. These things can be used on the battlefield, and their power is not bad. Anyway, if you use one cannon to kill them, the end will be the same. Egypt also Not picky. But the real problem is - lack of shells!

At present, the Egyptian army consumes about 7000 artillery shells per day, but the average daily consumption of Xiaobawang can reach 2 to 6 rounds!

The difference appears.

It's not that Ai Jun doesn't want to be as wealthy as the little bully, it's that he doesn't have it at all!

Because they can't make it themselves...especially since all their artillery is of the IWC brand, their supply of artillery shells depends entirely on imported artillery.

But the problem is that the countries that support them either buy from outside like Egypt, or they produce according to their own national needs.

They are not at war, so it is impossible to adjust the national industry to specifically deliver arms to Egypt... That is unrealistic.

Yes, they support Egypt, but that doesn't mean they will harm their own interests for the sake of Egypt.

They do give away some of their own shell stocks, but any more and there's nothing left. All countries have planned production and procurement of this stuff. Egypt spent real money on it... forget it. So even if Egypt has the upper hand, all countries are still not optimistic about it.

The simplest reason is that the supplies of the Egyptian army can no longer keep up. The supplies here are not just food and drink. There is really no shortage of this stuff for the time being. What is missing is artillery weapons!

So after the twelfth day of the war, the situation began to become anxious.

In fact, it's not anxiety, but the Little Overlord's inability to concentrate their forces and their inability to leave other forces alone, so a large number of troops were not deployed on the front line. Otherwise, the Egyptian army would have been pushed back to the national border!

In the past two days, the Egyptian army has suffered too many casualties!

There is already a problem with the morale of the troops!

In modern times, heavy firepower weapons have become the protagonist. Their lethality is not on the same level as cold weapons, and the casualty rate of soldiers has also greatly increased. Under normal circumstances, if the casualty rate of an army reaches 20%, there is a high probability that it will lose its combat effectiveness. Thirty percent has also become the world-recognized demarcation line for casualty tolerance, and it is unacceptable to exceed it. This number does not seem to be large. Overall, most of the troops still remain. Why are they considered to have lost their combat effectiveness? The first reason is the issue of military command and training. For most armies, "losing combat effectiveness" means officers ordering them to retire and recuperate, because the casualty rate on the battlefield is too high, which will directly lead to a decline in soldiers' morale and their hearts will collapse. Although the battlefield is bloody, soldiers cannot just rush forward and die in vain, so officers often make next command actions based on the real-time casualty rate.

The second reason is the composition and organization of the army. War is a high-intensity and long-term consumption, so logistics is indispensable. The proportion of front-line combat power in an army that can truly face the enemy is about one-third. The remaining two-thirds are either logistics personnel with little combat effectiveness or technical soldiers supporting the rear.

In World War II, the German army was a typical example. The German infantry division has approximately 17000 personnel, divided into three infantry regiments and one artillery regiment, all of which are frontline combatants. The rest are the headquarters, communication battalions, medical units, etc., which have no combat capabilities. The main combat infantry regiment has about 3 people, and the 1-point infantry regiment has nearly 2500 people. The infantry ratio is exactly 3% of an infantry division. When the German casualty rate reached 7500%, this infantry division almost lost its combat effectiveness.

Due to the help of mutants on the Egyptian side, although the casualties have always been serious, the battle line has been maintained well.

The casualty ratio is also very nice.

At about 312:110.

This exchange ratio is already three to one, which seems to stretch the crotch, but in fact it is not calculated that way! For example, the Six-Day War was the most classic post-World War II example of a small force defeating a large number. The Little Overlord challenged multiple other countries, and the exchange ratio was 46:452!

An exchange ratio of nearly one to ten!

Now one to three, it's a huge loss.

Relatively speaking, the Egyptian army obviously made a profit. After all, no matter what, the Overlord has an absolute advantage in terms of training, equipment, intelligence and air force, but in this case, the exchange ratio is still only one to three.

Absolutely a loss!

You know, no matter how you calculate it, Xiaobawang and Ai Junduizi! One to three is absolutely unacceptable!

The simplest conversion, what is the population of Little Overlord, and what is the population of Egypt?

The Little Overlord was heartbroken when he lost ten thousand people on the battlefield, but what about Apocalypse? Thirty thousand?

Sprinkle some water!

The key is that the Little Overlord lost so much but did not achieve any substantial results.

The position is still firmly controlled by the Egyptian army!

You have lost so many people but still failed to drive away the invaders, which is even worse.

Therefore, in order to open up the situation as soon as possible, the Little Overlord military also made a desperate move.

They quickly deployed several armored units.

Needless to say, the armored force is powerful. Whoever uses this thing knows it. Relatively speaking, the Egyptian army was much more miserable. Their armored units have long been lying down. There is no way, Xiaobawang has a military advantage. If they damage a tank, they can replenish it, repair it, or even recycle the scrapped tank.

But that's not the case with the Egyptian army. Their maintenance team has been completely paralyzed. It's not a personnel problem.

But there are not enough parts.

Tanks may seem solid to you, but in fact, the failure rate of tanks in various countries has always been a big problem. Therefore, all countries need a strong maintenance force. This is an important part of logistics. They can make damaged tanks return to normal as soon as possible. to the battlefield.

But the disadvantage of the IWC brand is reflected in that the parts are not universal at all!
