	Infiltration tactics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The same tactics were then employed to create a break through of the allied lines during the Battle of Caporetto in October, 1917, in which the future General Erwin Rommel was involved and decorated as a battalion commander.
		Infiltration attacks began with brief and violent bombardments of the enemy front lines, to suppress and demoralize the soldiers stationed there.
		Infiltration tactics led to the creation of the modern military formation of the fire team, a small group of soldiers with a certain degree of autonomy, capable of penetrating enemy territory on missions of sabotage and misdirection.

	Human wave attack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		What we today call 'human-wave' tactics were in fact the main tactic used by infantry in the attack prior to the development of skirmisher tactics during the Napoleonic Wars.
		It is a tactic that developed out of trench warfare, where artillery or aerial attack often proved ineffective at dislodging the enemy from a firmly held defensive position.
		It is widely believed that such tactics were employed widely and successfully by the North Korean and Chinese armies during the Korean War, because to the UN troops, the enemy seemed to be everywhere.

	Weapons and Tactics
		The infiltrating forces did not ‘concentrate’ or establish a ‘front’, they advanced along drainage lines and attacked from marching columns, seeking entry into the rear areas; fighting, where ever it occurred, was an encounter with units in their path or attacks on units located by their reconnaissance screens.
		The Chinese tactics had evolved from guerrilla warfare, their battle drill was of machine like precision, they had the ability to concentrate quickly, deliver an unnerving, noisy, rapid attack and when necessary disengage and quietly disappear.
		New tactics were evolved to “bring the enemy to battle on our terms rather than his terms”; operations by small units backed up by prompt and massive fire support to seek and destroy with ‘night-hunter’ and ‘night-search’ operations but these could not distinguish between the Viet Cong and non-combatants, “kill the VC” syndrome persisted.

		The German infiltration tactics of 1918 can be summarized under four headings: Bruckmüller artillery preparation; the combined arms assault or storm battalion; rejection of the linear advance in favor of bypassing enemy centers of resistance;, and attacks to disorganize the enemy rear area.

		Right in the early stages of the war, large numbers of attacking troops were wiped out by comparatively small numbers of defenders and this was celebrated at the time.
		I realise that until infiltration tactics, improved artillery techniques (short sharp heavy non-preregistered barrage followed by troop synchronised creeping barrage) and finally the tank, that there was really no alternative attack option.
		But as the early experience had shown that more casualties were inflicted on the attacker and that for some time the objective was 'attrition' surely the logical approach was to adopt defensive tactics with the odd small provocative action to encourage the enemy to attack again.
