Why Urban Warfare Is So Brutal

Ғылым және технология

Urban warfare. It’s undoubtedly the deadliest and most brutal kind of combat any soldier can face on the battlefield. Here’s why.
Death can come from in front, below, behind, or to the side of an attacker. Since there are so many ideal fighting positions, defenders can choose the exact moment they want to engage an attacking force, which forces the attackers to move slowly.
Even scarier still, a small unit of defenders can rapidly relocate between defensive positions through alleyways or even tunnels to re-engage the attackers from different angles.
Large apartment buildings, banks, offices, and other hardened structures are often impervious to even the toughest kind of ordnance an attacker can throw at them. Because of this, it is not uncommon for a small group of defenders to be able to hold off entire divisions of troops such as the infamous case of Pavlov’s House in Stalingrad.
To defeat these kinds of structures, soldiers in the past had a variety of weapons like flamethrowers and white phosphorus that could force an enemy into submission. However, on modern battlefields, soldiers must frequently resort to blowing these kinds of structures to smithereens and combing through the rubble before advancing.

    Can't do that these days. Warfare relies tremendously on the cooperation of the indigenous population. If you consistently level their cities, they will hate you and do everything they can to harass and mislead your force while helping your enemy. Even worse, they may outright become insurgents. We saw this happen regularly in Vietnam. We'd take a few potshots from a village, so we would turn and level it. The few survivors would harbor a hatred toward us that lead to them becoming part of the Viet Cong, thus replacing whatever few killed when leveling the village.

Lines were mostly inaccurate because soldiers were trained for speed, not accuracy. Better to shoot 3 or 4 slightly aimed balls than 1 well aimed one. The actual line formation was designed to be purely anti-cavalry seeing as horses would run riot on them otherwise. A line of bayonets deters that. That doesn't even factor in canons literally bombarding the area right around you. Take those three threats with being told to stand there until you die(at least that's how the English did it) and I can't think of much more danger

    Conscripts suck and run away easily. When you fight against other world powers, large unorganized groups of green soldiers get confused on the battlefield and flee. Read up on the many battles during the US Revolutionary War, and not just the 10 second summary from grade school. You might be surprised how often organized regiment warfare won the battle.

    I am a US Army OIF veteran, 19K/M1 Abrams tanker. My first tour to Iraq was the invasion/Thunder Run into Baghdad, and over the course of nine years I went 3 more times, and yeah, urban warfare is nerve wracking and without the help of tanks and airstrikes, especially if we're fighting on the opponent's home turf, it is very dangerous and results in lots of casualties and injuries like you wouldn't believe. I still think though that jungle warfare is probably the worst and hardest to deal with, like our Vietnam vets had it bad/hard man.. like in the early years of the Iraq war, living in/on tanks is HARD and it sucks, like living in a small car, with three other people, and eventually we created FOBs and JSS's, COBs/COPs, essentially places to return to and lay your head down at.

    A tactic used by the Soviets in the battle of Stalingrad was to fire a anti-tank Canon into the building from the side then charge in taking the stunned defenders at close range with submachine guns. This tactic was not always feasible for obvious reasons but it's effect was similar to the modern tactic of using a flashbang before building entry.
