In a sense, the tactics of the sea of people can be simply understood as fighting more and fighting less, and bullying the widows with the crowd. Concentrate superior forces and increase the overall strength in absolute numbers. The mention of the tactics of the sea of people seems to be a tactic often used by countries such as China, Japan, Russia, etc., and has nothing to do with the US military that is sparing lives.
In the 1904 Russo-Japanese War Lushun 203 Heights Scramble, the commander of the Japanese 3rd Army Nogi Yoshinori led more than 30,000 people of the 1st and 7th Divisions to attack the 6,000 Russian troops guarding the highlands, Nogi tactics were quite simple, blindly relying on the spirit of "Bushido" to rush hard, encountered a large number of kills and injuries by the Russian army relying on strong positions, repeated charges failed to work, repeatedly defeated more than 70 times. During the battle, the bodies piled up by the Japanese and Russians in the trenches on the northern slope of the highlands were four or five layers thick. Nogi's younger son, Nogi Hodanori, was also killed by the Russians while charging into the heights. In the battle for the 203 heights, the Japanese suffered a total of more than 10,000 casualties, and the Russians suffered a total of more than 6,000 casualties.
On June 22, 1941, the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union broke out. By September 20, the Germans had completely annihilated the Soviet Southwestern Front near Kiev, with Soviet losses of nearly 660,000 men. The Germans then launched Operation Typhoon and began to attack Moscow, by which time the Soviets had lost nearly 2 million troops. In the operation, the Soviet army never made tactical changes, the attack was frontal hard steel, accurately executed according to the timetable of the battle plan, and the defending German army could even predict how many Soviet troops were going to break through from where, so as to prepare for defense in advance.
In the Battle of Huaihai in 1948, more than 70,000 people of the main force of Huang Baitao's corps were besieged by 150,000 people of our army in The town of Nianzhuang. Huang Botao used the villages and platforms to fortify each village and repair fortifications. The characteristic of the mill fortifications is that the attacking side, no matter which angle it cuts from, will immediately be killed by multi-directional fire. The warriors rushed forward blindly, ignoring the enemy fortifications on the left and right and behind them. As a result, The People's Liberation Army of Huang Baitao, who fought 70,000 people, suffered more than 60,000 casualties.
In the Pacific War, the United States used the frog jump tactic to fight for valuable islands. Let's look at the number of U.S. troops in combat compared to the Japanese army:
In the Battle of Guadalcanal, the U.S. army dispatched 70,000 Marines and the Army against 30,000 Japanese ground troops.
During the Pelessee Landing, the U.S. Army dispatched 48,000 Marines and The Army against 7,000 Japanese ground troops.
During the Iwo Jima landing, the U.S. army dispatched 250,000 troops, including more than 100,000 U.S. Marines and the Army, to deal with 18,000 Japanese ground troops.
During the Saipan landing, U.S. troops dispatched 200,000 troops, including 10, against 30,000 Japanese ground troops.
During the Leyte Landing, U.S. troops dispatched 200,000 troops against 40,000 Japanese ground troops.
At the Battle of Lava, the U.S. army dispatched 35,000 Marines against 2,400 Japanese soldiers.
At the Kwajalein Landing, the U.S. army dispatched 22,000 Marines against 2,300 Japanese soldiers.
During the Leyte Landing, U.S. troops dispatched more than 200,000 U.S. troops against up to 40,000 Japanese soldiers.
In the Okinawa landing, the U.S. army dispatched nearly 700,000 U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, and U.S. Marine Corps. Just to deal with less than 70,000 Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese troops on the above islands built surface fortifications, dug tunnels, actively stored food and ammunition, and calibrated and shot at the elements. The Japanese soldiers even brought the spirit of Bushido to the extreme, and launched a jade crush charge when the food and ammunition were not invincible. The United States and Japan are engaged in island warfare at sea, and the United States can use air supremacy to control the sea, transport huge troops to land, and combat losses can be replenished in large quantities at any time, while the Japanese army fights less and less on the islands, and cannot be replenished by the rear. The Japanese combined fleet lost its combat effectiveness and the land-based aviation was completely lost, and the US military completely grasped the initiative on the battlefield and attacked the Japanese troops stationed on the island at will. In the Pacific War, the U.S. Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps suffered 320,000 casualties, of which 138,000 were killed. The Japanese Navy and Army lost a total of about 1.55 million killed.
The actual combat strength of the US military is very weak, without the advantage of geographical environment, without sophisticated equipment, without many more soldiers than the other side, without the logistics of not having money, the United States cannot win the Pacific War!
