Section 7. Lessons/Russo-Japanese War

I have added a sentence to this section, however I think the wording needs altering. The issue with field artillery during the Russo-Japanese war was that either the pieces themselves or the men manning them lacked the ability to engage in indirect fire. Indirect fire is a crucial asset when dealing with trenches and the like, something the Russo-Japanese War came to be known by in many circles.

The primary weakness of the field artillery was its inability to engage entrenched positions effectively, infantry taking pot shots at gun crews from extended ranges was secondary and part and parcel to the first point.

I would like to modify this section further, but I thought it was best to see what peoples views were. (Fdsdh1 (talk) 18:16, 31 December 2017 (UTC))[reply]
