Soviet brothers, is a sea charge the way to victory?
The first half of the article:
World War II was a great disaster in human history, and it was also a great struggle. In this war, there were many battles and events that are remembered to this day. Among them, the Soviet Union used the controversial "crowd tactic" in the Battle of the Dnieper, which attracted widespread attention and discussion.
From the end of 1943 to April 1944, fierce fighting took place between the Soviet Union and Germany on the right bank of the Dnieper. The Soviet Union launched ** with 2.4 million troops in an attempt to destroy the strategic defensive line of the German army on its southern flank. The scale of the battle was enormous, with a staggering 3.2 million troops participating. However, war is not a simple comparison of forces, but a comprehensive effect of many factors that need to be considered.
First of all, the crowd tactic was not unique to the Soviet Union. As early as the First World War, European countries began to experiment with this tactic. At the heart of the crowd tactics is a massive infantry charge, which requires strong discipline and tactical execution from the army. In the Battle of the Dnieper, the Soviets used this tactic, but not simply and rudely rushed forward. They also mobilized a large number of tanks, heavy artillery and other heavy weapons, as well as air support from fighters and bombers, forming a multi-point firepower output, making it difficult for the Germans to resist and counterattack.
Secondly, behind the crowd tactics was the support of the Soviet Union's strong industrial strength. The Soviet Union invested heavily in military production during the war, which ensured the adequacy of the most advanced equipment. In the Battle of the Dnieper, the Soviet army made reasonable use of these **, enhanced the lethality and deterrence of the tactics of the sea of people, and effectively reduced the infantry**.
Finally, the use of crowd tactics also reflected the strategic choices of the Soviet Union at that time. In the face of the German Nazi invasion, the Soviet Union had to mobilize a large number of troops and concentrate numerical superiority against the enemy. In this situation, the crowd tactic became an inevitable choice for the Soviet Union.
In general, although the Soviet Union's man-to-sea tactics in the Battle of the Dnieper were victorious, behind them were complex strategic calculations and a multifaceted combination of effects. It is true that this tactic has played an important role under specific historical conditions, but it also requires us to think deeply and reflect on it, and we cannot simply evaluate its value by victory.
For this war full of blood and fire, we cannot simply use "crowd tactics" as the only criterion for evaluation. History cannot deny that the Soviet Union used a large number of troops in the Battle of the Dnieper River and showed great fighting power. However, we should also be aware that this tactic is not flawless, and there are many drawbacks and sacrifices behind it. In war, every soldier's life is precious, and war should not become a senseless sacrifice. Therefore, we should learn from history, cherish peace, and strive to make the world a more peaceful and tranquil place.
