Horn has become a communication tool. At that time, the technology was underdeveloped, and it was used to give orders.
(Trumpeter during the Red Army)
The territory of the Republic was shot. The battlefields in different periods echoed with the sound of bugles. From another angle, it is also reasonable to say humorously that the country of the Republic was "blown" by the bugle. The bugle call (also called the assault call) lags behind the development of modernization, and the People's Liberation Army cancelled the bugle call in 1985.
Where there is charge, there is counter charge. On the anti-Japanese battlefield, the Japanese army also had the military phenomenon of "charging against charging", but strangely, the Japanese army rarely blew the horn when charging. Why is this? Did the Japanese army prepare a bugle call?
1。 The Japanese army is equipped with a bugle (horn), which is mainly used for housekeeping.
Japan's housekeeping number spectrum:
The draft code of conduct for infantry in Taisho 12 and Showa 12, as well as the appendix of the code of conduct for infantry officially promulgated in Showa 15, namely 1940, contain the operation and holding rules for military parade sabers and bugles.
The bugle has an ear rope, which is not only beautiful, but also can be used to carry and wipe the bugle. It is an important accessory of the bugle.
According to the military internal affairs part of Japan's "Necessary for School Instructors", the Japanese bugle is mainly used for service orders of troops' work and rest, such as getting up, turning off the lights, calling the roll and having meals. It can be seen that things like issuing orders on the battlefield are not conveyed by bugles. It is no wonder that the Japanese bugle is rarely seen on the battlefield.
Japanese whistle for communication.
On a small scale, the Japanese army used whistles instead of bugles to exercise the service orders of the troops' work and rest.
On a small scale, Japanese squadrons used whistles instead of bugles to exercise the service orders of their troops, including emergency assembly under special circumstances.
2。 The traditional concept of charging in Japan
Jianchuan Museum, a large city in Sichuan, displays the complete string of Japanese bugles. The Japanese army called it the "Nine Stones Horn")
A memoir of the Anti-Japanese War records that the Japanese bunker was besieged by the Eighth Route Army, and the "Japanese army" in the bunker began to attack and charge back. It can be seen that the purpose of the Japanese army's assault signal may be individual cases, and its function is equivalent to the big horn in the background of guns. However, in the general battlefield, there are not many examples of "the devil blowing the charge and whistling to launch a charge".
"The bugle sounded" is an order to charge, which appears at a certain node in the battlefield. The Japanese army has such a node, but it does not need to "order". The reason is determined by the traditional military action culture.
(1) A Japanese officer brandishing a knife is an "order" to charge.
Because the Japanese army at that time advocated the spirit of Bushido and the tactics of white-edged combat, it was issued to officers with command knives. Command knife is a symbol of authority, and the Japanese army advocates command knife.
The Japanese commander drew a knife as a preparatory action for the charge, and waving a knife was the beginning of the charge. しゃげき=shageki= shoot, reading fast is killing JJ.
When the Japanese army charged for a long time, they shouted, "Stick up the black cards and board them." "Tennoheika, Sakamoto!" Long live the Emperor! " (てんのうへいか、ばんざい! )。
Fighting bayonet is the end of the charge. During the Japanese charge, there were acts such as shooting and covering.
(2) The Japanese fight for "calmness", not "momentum".
The Japanese are silent when they charge, so no noise is allowed. All communication is through gestures and short passwords. Charge can boost morale, but the biggest flaw exposes military action. The Japanese army has done a good job in "bullying the weak and fearing the hard (quality and weapons)" and "slowly but surely".
(3) Strong personal ability.
Today, objectively speaking, during the Anti-Japanese War, especially in the early days, although the tactics of the Japanese army belonged to World War I, some of the equipment was World War II-level troops.
The Japanese army has a characteristic, strong individual ability, especially good at shooting and fighting, and strong sense of discipline. Influenced by the bushido spirit, it is very tenacious and will not collapse even if there are heavy casualties.
(4) Long live the Japanese charge (meat shield charge tactics) spell "momentum"
Long live the suicide charge, and the slogan is "Long live the Emperor" or "Long live", pronounced as "Long live".
There are two situations in which the Japanese suicide charges live forever:
"Bullying the soft and fearing the hard": Rely on the advantages of light and heavy weapons, and finally solve the battle by hand-to-hand combat.
"Afraid of Hard Work": In the Pacific battlefield, the trapped animals are still fighting. The Japanese army used the long live charge to carry out suicide attacks, not to win, but to complete death.
With the development of science and technology, precision ammunition weapons are more and more developed, and the use of a large number of human charges will be less and less, but it does not mean that the charges will disappear. As long as the war exists, the charge will always exist. Fighting with cold weapons and charging with bayonets may become history.
Attack means charge. There are surprises in the charge, and there are charges in the surprise. Charge is a military tactic, not an art of film directors.
Accusations and attacks have risen to psychological limits. The state of selflessness is stalemate, self-confidence and collapse are watersheds, and the boundary is quickly presented, which means ending the battle faster.
