1214 Playing Big 2

Churchill was a military layman. Sir Hamilton was stronger than Churchill. After all, he was also a tried and tested general of the British Empire. He fought for the interests of the British Empire for decades. Well, most of the battles were public security... So he saw that Churchill could not succeed in the Battle of 6 in the Strait of Dardanelles. So he planned to make things bigger, consider joining Greece to launch an offensive from the sixth ground, and prepare to fight the Bavarian Legion!&1t;/p>

This seems right! Lord Hamilton has taken into account the various variables on the battlefield and put forward his own opinions - to concentrate more troops and launch an offensive from 6, while the Navy and another part of the 6th unit launched an attack on the Dardanelles at the same time, killing the opponent from both directions with lightning speed! What a great plan!&1t;/p>

However, both Churchill and Lord Hamilton ignored one thing, that is, they all unknowingly expanded a limited-scale battle! When a battle is halfway through, when a battle reaches a certain level and has extraordinary political influence, purely military considerations may deflect in other directions! And this is how the Battle of Dardanelles in history!&1t;/p>

You know, at the beginning, the entire British and French Allied Forces had only about 75,000 troops. Then, you can say that for victory, or for face, and for political reasons, the Allied Legion continued to increase its investment layer by layer! In the end, a 50,000 Allied Army was successively invested in this battle with a low chance of victory! The price paid was far beyond the original idea!&1t;/p>

However, political demand or so-called face cannot solve the military problems. In a place where troops cannot be deployed, no matter how much troops are invested, the marginal effect of troops will only continue to decline! Therefore, if you can't defeat it, you just can't defeat it... Is it useful to face it? Isn't it going to end in the end? And the disastrous defeat on the battlefield once again affected politics!&1t;/p>

Look at the Allies fleet with absolute maritime advantages and the six-digit six-digit unit. They fought a Turkey called the "Sick Man of West Asia" and could not fight for a long time! After fighting for ten months, what did you think of the Balkan fenceists? How could you let those fencemen trust your strength of Britain and France? So, a series of chain reactions arise, and Bulgaria takes the lead! In history, Greece has also kept a certain distance from the Allies again. However, Serbia died... (Serbia said why you fought in the Strait of Dardanelles, but I was the one who took the blame in the end?)&1t;/p>

In fact, this kind of increase in layers is not uncommon in history. Not to mention that there are various loopholes in the planning of the Battle of Dardanelles, and the 6th Army has been arguing about it. Even the planned battles still have the possibility of "playing big". For example, the Battle of Verdun, Farkinham started out just trying to fight a limited war of attrition, attract the French, and then use the artillery that the German 6th Army was proud of. Then, the Germans found out sadly, and at the critical moment, they "can't control their own hands", constantly increasing the chips, then consume them, and then increasing the chips, and then consume them. Until the Germans can't fight, Farkinham was also dismissed.&1t;/p>

Although there are various problems in the Battle of Dardanelles and the Battle of Verdun, there are typical examples of not being able to stop and knowing when to start the battle, but not knowing how to end. But it is understandable, at least the strategic value is great enough. When the Battle of Dardanelles is successful, Turkey will kneel down! If the Fortress of Verdun is successful, it will really become a crusher to crush the entire French front. At the beginning, as the attacking side, it does have many advantages. Needless to say, Britain and France are absolutely naval advantages. The German legion in the Fortress of Verdun was also very fierce at the beginning, and the battle losses were a great advantage. In fact, in the end, the later stage of the French army and firepower were considered to be absolute. The Germans still made a profit, but their family background was limited.&1t;/p>

The most incomprehensible and depressing thing is that some battles have become uncontrollable for pure fighting spirit. For a place where strategic value is not too high, one side will be desperate and then finally finds a big loss... Is there such a thing? Of course there is! The Battle of Guadalam!&1t;/p>

Let us recall the process of the Guadalam Battle, and you will find how funny this battle is! The Japanese have found that Guadalam is very good, suitable for setting up mining divisions. No, it is to establish an aviation base, so they sent thousands of people to prepare. Then this is the first time that the Japanese are funny. When you go to open a mining division, you didn't leave enough defense forces, and there was no warning! And you haven't told the 6th Army... This is not mining, this is stealing mines! And it was stole under the noses of the Americans! I was afraid that they wouldn't see them!&1t;/p>

Everyone knows what happened next. The Americans naturally found the Japanese subdivision, but the Japanese did not find the Americans coming to demolish the mines. Including the engineers and aviation personnel, the Japanese troops, less than 4 ooo, were directly pressed to the ground by tens of thousands of American troops! More than half of the subdivision base was built and they became Americans! This matter was lost in a mess!&1t;/p>

At this moment, the Japanese completely ran away. When did the dignified Locust Army suffer this loss? So when it was difficult for Rabaul Air Base to provide effective support, after pulling up the 6th Army, the Joint Fleet decisively made a big wave with the Americans. This is the famous Battle of Santa Cruz in history. Don’t say that the battle result is not bad. Two Japanese aircraft carriers were injured, and the Americans directly hung up one and injured one. Tactical terms are the Japanese dominant. It was the last big victory of the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet, (well, there were not many wins in total)&1t;/p>

However, tactical victory cannot cover up strategic failure. In the two battles in which aviation dominates the sea. After Japan and the United States maritime maneuver aviation forces left the field at the same time, the Americans also had the Guadalam air base as a support point. The existence time of the fighter flying over Guadalam can only be calculated in minutes. No matter how you look at it, there is no chance of winning. Then... Then... Then the Japanese Navy continued to fight with the Americans at the doorstep of the Americans! He also pitted the 6th Army! After throwing away two battleships, a large number of cruisers and destroyers, and after losing hundreds of various aircraft, the Japanese finally knew that they could not continue to fight. By this time, Japan had already lost too much!&1t;/p>
