1, infantry
Infantry plays an important role from ancient cold war to modern war. They are the core force of the army, but they also have all-round dangers. During World War II, most of the casualties in major participating countries were army infantry units.
When landing in Normandy and hitting the German border, the casualty rate of British and German infantry in these two large-scale battles directly exceeded that during World War I. In addition, the casualty rate of New Zealand troops fighting in Italy in 1944 was almost twice that of their own preparation.
2. Airborne troops
The risk of airborne troops existed before the battle. They jumped from hundreds of kilometers, which was a fatal adventure for wingless humans. Although parachutes can minimize the risk of free landing, no one can say whether something will happen. In addition, in actual combat, airborne troops also need to drop intensive firepower on the ground, and they can't avoid it at all, so they can only resign themselves to fate.
After successful landing, the airborne troops should go deep into the enemy's hinterland, stay away from the rear support and carry limited materials and ammunition. In this case, they need to rely on strong fighting quality and fighting will to break through the difficulties.
3. Submarine soldiers
Submarine soldiers are one of the arms with the highest mortality rate in World War II and one of the arms with the highest mortality rate in Germany. At that time, submarines were called "iron coffins" by soldiers, because submarine soldiers spent a long time driving submarines in the deep sea. Once sunk, the possibility of escape is greatly reduced.
In addition, compared with Japan, the Soviet Union and Britain, the interior space of German submarines at that time was far from narrow and closed. Submarine soldiers can't save themselves like the soldiers of surface warships, but they can only sink with the boat. Submarine soldiers are one of the arms with the highest casualty rate.
4. Machine gunner
During World War II, the demand for machine guns was extremely high, and machine guns were one of the core weapons on the battlefield. Although the machine gunner can suppress the enemy's attack momentum with intensive firepower, it has also become an important target of the other side's attack.
It is not only snipers that really threaten the life of machine gunners, but also weapons such as mortars and grenadiers. Nowadays, the position of the machine gunner in the current war is declining. In modern warfare, the survival of machine gunners will become more difficult in the face of all kinds of precision guided firepower.
5. Minesweeper
Minesweeping is recognized as a high-risk behavior in the world, and every mission of minesweeper is a life-and-death test. Mine clearance and bomb disposal are eye-to-eye contests between them and death. There are many minefields in China, which have been cleared many times over the years. Externally, China peacekeepers have also carried out many demining tasks in other countries.
Du, a deminer from China, deserves respect. He entered the minefield 1000 times, dismantled more than 2,400 explosives and handled more than 20 dangerous situations. But the danger of mine clearance was so great that his eyes and hands were blown off. Minesweeper was selected as the most dangerous weapon list.
6. Oil tanker
Compared with other weapons, tanks are slightly bulky and sometimes exist like living targets. The tanker is one of the arms with the highest sacrifice rate. Even if the soldier's individual combat ability is strong, once he is in danger, he will be locked in an impenetrable armored vehicle, and his life will be lost in an instant.
Tanks hit by anti-tank weapons or missiles are almost impossible to be completely preserved. Tanqueray's oil tankers will faint instantly, and then be roasted to death by the energy generated by high-temperature metal spraying, or suffocated by smoke. If you encounter a higher level of firepower, it will be burned to ashes and directly gasified.
7. Wizard
Pilots are one of the arms with the highest casualty rate in World War II. In World War II, many pilots were on the battlefield or behind enemy lines. Although the air defense forces at that time did not have today's missiles and radars, anti-aircraft guns alone were enough for pilots to drink a pot. For example, bombers in World War II had to lower their altitude if they wanted to watch the bombing. At this point, the plane is within the range of the anti-aircraft gun.
In addition, during World War II, bombers were slower than fighters and had relatively poor maneuverability. There is often a pilot in the back seat who is responsible for operating the machine gun, but he has also become a priority target for enemy planes.
8. Boy Scouts
Which arms are the most dangerous? In Maigu Bian Xiao's view, scouts are also a very dangerous unit. Because scouts often need to go deep behind enemy lines or enter behind enemy lines in advance when performing tasks. Before the emergence of drones, intelligence on the battlefield mainly relied on scouts for reconnaissance, so it was called the eyes and ears of leaders.
Every battle plan is made according to the reconnaissance information of scouts. Although they belong to the hidden enemy, they are in prison and in danger.
9, flame spray soldiers
The military flame thrower was invented by the Germans before the First World War. This kind of weapon is equipped with bottled solid fuel, and its high-temperature flame can reach 20 meters. Although the flamethrower is lethal, it also makes the soldiers carrying it a very dangerous arms; Once you encounter something like bullets or shells, the oil bottle will explode immediately, turning the soldier into a fire man and hurting the comrades around him.
During World War II, the United States, Japan and the Soviet Union all used flamethrowers, and the evil Japanese army suffered from flamethrowers.
10, signalman
During World War II, the Eighth Route Army in China was in a difficult situation, often fighting guerrilla warfare, and most of its communication depended on its legs. From the film and television works and the history of the Anti-Japanese War, we can hardly see soldiers pulling telephone lines. Only part of the Eighth Route Army has the conditions to use communication equipment and bundles of collected telephone lines in series to form a communication network.
They need to run on their legs to keep the communication on the battlefield normal. Once the line is blown up, they will also take bullets to repair it. World War II signalmen were not the most terrible arms, but they were also dangerous.
