Shanghai 1937: Why Is a Mechanized Brigade Still Fighting with Bayonets?

A 2026 combined-arms brigade transmigrates to the eve of the Japanese landing at Jinshanwei in 1937. There are no satellites in the sky, and the electromagnetic environment on the ground is as clean as a blank sheet of paper. How do they fight? Blast them with artillery, charge in with tanks, then fight with bayonets? Come on, seriously? A combined-arms brigade commands the battlefield from start to finish, engaging across the electromagnetic spectrum and beyond visual range, without making contact. No maps? Send up drones to survey the terrain and build their own coordinates. No satellites? Send a high-altitude drone up to establish independent communications relays and a regional positioning reference. External communications cut off? The entire brigade forms its own network. Every soldier gets a communications terminal, and every piece of ammunition gets an IoT terminal. The fully domestically developed AI combat model, Bai Qi, takes charge of battlefield management, coordinating a complete kill chain: reconnaissance, command, strikes, assessment, electronic suppression, and logistics. On the night of November 4, 1937, a thick fog shrouds the river. Japanese gunboats, transport ships, and landing craft are already closing in on Jinshanwei. They think only scattered remnants are waiting on shore. They think they can break through the Songhu defensive line from the rear before dawn. Watching the red dots grow denser on the screen, Zhu Haoyu says just one thing: “Don't rush.” “Let them come ashore first.” [Combined-Arms Brigade from the Start] + [Alternate-History Transmigration] + [Military Technology]
