If you've ever played Red Alert, you can not know about the giant squid?, you can also not know about the gene mutant?, but there is one unit that you must not be unfamiliar with, that is, the Soviet camp, no matter how hot it is, wears a leather coat, and lies on the ground as soon as it is fought, it lies on the ground and squirms wildly.
Mobilizing soldiers can be called the most tragic branch of the Red Police, and there is no one. The cost of 100 yuan is really cheap and painful, after all, even the police dog comrades want 200 yuan a piece, naked people are not as good as dogs. Not to mention the combat effectiveness of the mobilized soldiers, it is difficult to play much role in battle except lying on the ground and interfering with the enemy's line of sight with a charming posture.
Why would the designers of the game make such a class?
This begins with the Soviet-German War in World War II.
Faced with the surprise attack of the German steel torrent, the Soviet Union suffered heavy losses and was in danger
On June 22, 1941, fascist Germany gathered a large army to launch a surprise attack on the Soviet Union in the form of a blitzkrieg, and the German army won like mercury all the way to the ground, breaking into the Soviet Union for 600 kilometers in just 18 days.
The Soviet Union, on the other hand, suffered heavy losses, not only a large area of land was occupied, but also a serious attrition of the army. In the first week of the war, the Losses of the Red Army reached more than 1 million, and by 6 months, the losses of the Red Army had reached as much as 7 million.
What is this concept? France, which at that time had the "strongest army in the world", resisted the powerful German army for less than three months before the whole country surrendered. By the time of surrender, france had lost about 2.25 million troops, of which 350,000 were casualties and 1.9 million were captured.
Compared with France, the Soviet Union suffered far more heavy losses, and if it were placed on any normal country, it would probably not be far from surrender.
The whole country is united in will and staged a miracle of explosion
But the Soviet Union is such a country that cannot be guessed by common sense, not only did they not have the slightest intention of giving in, but they became more and more courageous, and began to shock the world's crazy explosives.
In 1941, the day after the war broke out, the Soviet Union first mobilized men aged 23-37, and in just one week, 5.3 million people were conscripted into the army. Subsequently, due to the unfavorable situation of the war, the age range of mobilization was constantly expanded. In the last years of the war, Soviet men as young as 17 and as young as 55 went to war. Not only men, but also more than 800,000 women joined the front line of the battle, serving as tank soldiers, snipers, machine gunners, pilots, no less brave than men, and the final casualty rate was more than half.
With unparalleled mobilization capabilities, by the end of World War II, the total strength of the Soviet Union reached a staggering 12.8 million. Throughout World War II, the Soviet Union exploded a total of 34 million troops.
If that's not shocking enough, then take a look at the set of numbers below.
At that time, the population of the Soviet Union was about 190 million, minus half of the women, the remaining men were less than 100 million, and among the less than 100 million men, excluding young children, the elderly and the sick and disabled, there were about 50 or 60 million young and middle-aged healthy men who could join the army. That is to say, in the Four Years' Great Patriotic War, more than half of the men of the right age in the Soviet Union joined the army from Rong. Among them, 9.15 million were killed or missing, 4.46 million were captured, and 18.32 million were wounded or sick. In addition, some 17.4 million civilians died in the fighting.
Victory is not easy, and the "mobilized soldiers" are ordinary and great
Soviet men born in 1923 were the most unfortunate, and in 1941, when the Soviet-German War broke out, they were just 18 years old, the age of joining the army. They certainly wouldn't have imagined that only one-fifth of them would survive the day victory would come four years later.
In order to win the war, the Soviet Union mobilized almost all the forces it could mobilize, squeezing the country's war potential to the extreme.
In the eyes of the Germans at that time, the Soviets seemed to be endless, and they had just defeated one division, and three divisions could emerge at once. Although the German army was of high quality, under the consumption of countless Soviets with their lives and blood, they had to finally swallow the consequences of defeat.
After the war, the total population of the Soviet Union became 167 million, of which only 43.2% were men, and the proportion of young and middle-aged men was even smaller.
Therefore, the prototype of the mobilized soldiers is the ordinary soldiers of the Soviet Union who responded to the call of the motherland in World War II, hurriedly took up weapons, and never returned to the Shuluo Field.
Even if their lives are as humble as dust, even if they are twisted like maggots on the ground, we should still pay them the highest respect. It was they who used their lives to block the iron hooves of the fascist demons and brought peace and hope to the world.
