Man-sea tactics
For a long time, many people believed that the Soviet Union could defeat Germany in World War II, mainly by using the "man-sea tactics" to rush forward without a life, and to resist the suppression of German firepower through the superiority of troops. But this perception is absolutely inaccurate, after all, in the Soviet "man-sea tactics", weapons such as tanks and heavy artillery also played a huge role.
It should be known that in the face of modern weapons, human life is very fragile, so if the Soviet Union's "man-sea tactics" really only rely on troops to advance, it is estimated that all of them have become cannon fodder. The reason why the Soviet Union was able to rely on the "man-sea tactics" to turn defeat into victory was mainly because in the process of advancing, the Soviet Union had strong fire support.
We cannot deny that the Soviet Union suffered huge casualties in World War II, and even nearly beat up men at one point. However, since the "man-sea tactic" can leave a psychological shadow on many German troops, it is enough to see that this tactic is far more advanced than we imagined, and then we will take a look at how terrible it was when the Soviet army exerted the man-sea charge tactics to the extreme during World War II.
The Soviet Union's undervalued military-industrial strength
First of all, the Soviet Union in World War II gave many people the impression that there were many people, but it is not difficult to see through the Battle of Nomenkan and the Battle of Kursk that the military industrial strength of the Soviet Union was absolutely seriously underestimated. Thus, the components of the Soviet "man-sea tactics" included a large number of weapons such as tanks, aircraft and heavy artillery in addition to troops.
When the Red Army advanced, these weapons would effectively share the enemy's firepower and at the same time protect them. In addition, in order to rationalize the use of resources, the Soviet Union usually only equipped the soldiers in the front row with weapons, and once they fell, the soldiers in the back would immediately pick up the guns on the ground and become the new front row.
This would not only make efficient use of resources, but would also create the illusion to the enemy that the entire Soviet army was a group of heavily armed fighters. From a distance, the momentum alone could frighten the enemy, and many German soldiers were really stupid when they looked at the charging Soviet troops.
Memories of the Germans
It is reported that the German troops who survived on the battlefield earlier said that whenever they watched soviet soldiers charge with "man-sea tactics", some of them were already "scared crazy" alive before they could shoot. All this stems from the exaggerated battle of the Soviet Union's "man-sea tactics", a group of armed soldiers shouting Ulla, surrounded by aircraft and tanks, and everyone has to be scared silly.
Of course, such tactics always have certain drawbacks, that is, they are exposed to the muzzle of the other side's guns. As long as the enemy's firepower is strong enough, or is not completely intimidated by the momentum, even if the "man-sea tactic" can complete the advance, the casualties will be terrible.
Therefore, in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in the last century, although we had superiority in manpower in many battles, we did not dare to rush to emulate the Soviet Union's "man-sea tactics." Compared with Germany in World War II, the equipment of the US military is simply not much better.
In short, when conditions permit, "man-sea tactics" are definitely not the best choice. Although the Soviet Union in World War II said that its military industrial strength was good, it always had a gap with Germany, which could only find a little advantage through "man-sea tactics".
