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. '6''9''s''h''u''x''.''c''o''m'Since wars are often triggered by politicians rather than soldiers, wars are also regarded as political and Extreme measures of 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 are 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. To defeat the strong, the weak must give full play to the role of human factors, master advanced military thinking and implement correct war guidance, and use 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 an important driving force 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 is 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 seems inconspicuous, but it is actually a test of the national military industry 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 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 modern armies. 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 casualties on the battlefields of World War II were caused by artillery. Artillery is low-cost, easy to maintain, mature technology, relatively simple to operate, highly lethal, and rich in ammunition, including armor-piercing shells, guided shells, extended-range shells, flares, rockets, and even more crazy nuclear bombs. In war. Artillery is the only weapon that can provide long-term, large-area, high-lethal fire support at low cost regardless of terrain and weather. This cannot be done by aircraft, let alone missiles. Now technology has added advanced technologies such as fire control to artillery. Howitzer cannon howitzer can reach 40 kilometers without guidance within 10 meters. The improvement of the chassis technology of self-propelled artillery has made the artillery position move faster and faster. In a confrontation, a howitzer with 6 guns can drop about 40 shells per unit area in one minute. A 155mm howitzer shell can leave no one alive on an area as large as half a football field, unless you are squatting in a gun shelter.

A rocket launcher can cover an area of ​​about 650 meters x 650 with one salvo. With a loading vehicle, it can be loaded in 3-5 minutes and then fired again. If there is no way to find and destroy the artillery position, ground forces, whether tanks or infantry, will not be able to resist. The shells will come like rain. . Even if you find it, even if it is a towed artillery in training, it will be replaced immediately after a few minutes of firing. Not to mention the self-propelled artillery that runs faster. Even in war, the artillery position has been discovered and destroyed. A single soldier can pile up a dirt slope, place a rocket shell and take a battery for simple shooting.

The artillery can be fired even if it is not completely destroyed and blown to pieces. In addition, artillery does not only refer to the cannon tubes in the impression. Portable mortars and dense arrays on ships now exist in various arms. Artillery is still the god of war. Aircraft missiles still cannot shake the status of artillery.

Egypt is not short of artillery. Various countries have provided a lot of support. Anyway, there are various models, and there are many old-fashioned artillery. This thing can be used on the battlefield. The power is not bad. Anyway, the end is almost the same after one shot, and Egypt is not picky. But the real problem is - lack of artillery shells!

At present, the Egyptian army consumes about 7,000 artillery shells per day, but the daily consumption of the Little Overlord can reach 20,000 to 60,000 rounds!

The gap is out.

It's not that the Egyptian army doesn't want to be as generous as the Little Overlord, but it doesn't have it at all!

Because they can't make it themselves... Especially when their artillery is all international brands, their artillery shells are completely dependent on foreign imports.

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

They are not in a state of war, so it is impossible to adjust the national industry to supply arms to Egypt... That is unrealistic.

Yes, they support Egypt, but it does not mean that they will harm their own interests for Egypt.

They will indeed give some of their own artillery shells, but if there are too many, there will be no more. All countries have planned production and procurement of this stuff. For you, Egypt, it costs real money... forget it.

So even if Egypt has the upper hand, all countries are still not optimistic.

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

So after the war went on for the twelfth day, the situation began to fall into anxiety.

In fact, it is not anxious, but the power of the Little Overlord cannot be concentrated. They cannot leave other forces alone, so a large number of troops have not been deployed to the front line. Otherwise, the Egyptian army would have been pushed back to the border long ago!

In the past two days, the casualties on the Egyptian side are really too great!

The morale of the troops has been a problem!

In modern times, heavy firepower weapons have become the main characters, and their lethality is not at the same level as cold weapons, and the casualty rate of soldiers has also greatly increased. Generally speaking, if the casualty rate of an army reaches 20%, it will lose its combat effectiveness with a high probability. 30% has also become the universally recognized limit of casualty tolerance. If it exceeds this limit, it will not work. This number does not seem to be large. Overall, most of the troops are still retained. Why is it considered to have lost combat effectiveness? The first reason is the problem of military command and training. For most armies, "losing combat effectiveness" means that officers order a withdrawal and reorganization, because the casualty rate on the battlefield is too high, which will directly lead to a decline in the morale of the soldiers and a tendency to collapse. Although the battlefield is bloody, soldiers cannot be directly sent to die in vain, so officers often make the next command action based on the real-time casualty rate.

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

In World War II, the German army is a typical example. The German infantry division has about 17,000 people, divided into 3 infantry regiments and 1 artillery regiment, all of which are front-line combatants. The rest are command posts, communication battalions, medical units, etc., which have no combat capabilities. The main combat infantry regiment has about 2,500 people, and the 3 sub-infantry regiments are nearly 7,500 people. The infantry ratio is exactly 40% of an infantry division. When the German casualty rate reached 30%, this infantry division almost lost its combat effectiveness.

The Egyptian army has the help of mutants, although the casualties have always been serious, but the front line has been maintained well.

The casualty ratio is also very beautiful.

About 312:110.

This exchange ratio is almost three to one, which looks very bad, but it is not actually calculated this way! For example, the Six-Day War is the most classic example of winning more with fewer troops after World War II, and it seems that there is no other. The Little Overlord challenged multiple countries on the other side, and the exchange ratio was 46:452!

An exchange ratio of nearly 1:10!

Now it is 1:3, which is a terrible loss.

Relatively speaking, the Egyptian army obviously made a profit. After all, no matter what, the Little Overlord has an absolute advantage in training, equipment, intelligence and air force, but in this case, it still only achieved an exchange ratio of 1:3.

It is absolutely a huge loss!

You know, no matter how you calculate it, the Little Overlord and the Egyptian army are exchanging! 1:3 is absolutely unacceptable!

The simplest conversion is how many people does the Little Overlord have, and how many people does Egypt have?

The Little Overlord would be heartbroken if he lost 10,000 people on the battlefield, but what about Tianqi? 30,000?

Sprinkle some water!

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

The position is still firmly controlled by the Egyptian army!

You lost so many people, but still failed to drive away the invaders, which is even more of a loss.

So in order to open up the situation as soon as possible, the Xiaobawang military also made a desperate bet.

They quickly deployed several armored units.

The armored units are powerful, and anyone who uses them knows it. Relatively speaking, the Egyptian army is much worse. Their armored units have been broken down long ago. There is no way, Xiaobawang has military advantages. If they damage a tank, they can replenish it, repair it, or even scrap it.

But the Egyptian army is not so good. Their maintenance team has been completely paralyzed. It’s not that the personnel have problems.

It’s that there are not enough parts.

Tanks look tough, but in fact, the failure rate of tanks in various countries has always been a difficult problem, so all countries need a strong maintenance team, which is an important part of logistics. They can get the damaged tanks back on the battlefield as soon as possible.

But the disadvantage of the Wan Guo brand is reflected. The parts are not universal at all!
