Best divisions for fighting in china?

[William]

My troops are taking utterly insane casualties in Qinghai because of the terrain modifier. How the hell do you attack units on mountains?

[Lysenko]

Mountaineer divisions should help you there, I believe they take less attrition in mountains.

Do they have any negative for fighting in jungles and flat plains?

ordinary japan troops should be ok since you start too much with them. Just put some marines so you can invade through southeast also.

I'm not playing as Japan.

the key point against asian countries = artillery. You need soft attack so you can crush their manpower and make them flee.

I have artillery

It's not the soldier's themselves, but breaking their defence.

I always lose when attacking mountains.

mountains requires more support such as air superiority , close air support , mountaineers etc.

I have the first 2

Do mountaineers get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ if they fight in other parts of china like jungles?

create a small front of battle, 3 or 4 provinces for one army of 24 soldiers. create the ofensive line and wait until they have the full bonus from preparation. when they have dont atk yet. at the bottom of the army picture you see the army str comparation, keep the eye on it and keep fighting in other provinces while that. eventually the AI will need to move troops to other places where the war are striking harder. when you see the bar at your favor you launch the atk.

No, they simply get bonus for hills and mountains. Otherwise it's a bit more expensive version of regular infantry.

So if you can afford it, it's okay to build your entire army out of Mountaineers and Marines?

One more question

If i integrate Mountaineers into my infantry army, will the mountaineers automatically be prioritized for attacking mountains rather than generic infantry?

Yes, don't see much of a point tho. If you can afford it - you can build armor for breakthrough, and infantry's main job becomes holding that line.

Depends on what you mean by that. Basically, no: whatever division is available will carry out attack order (manual or one they are assigned to), no prioritizing.

I can't just use armor for breakthrough

My infantry have a heavy tank with them but still suck ass on mountains.

It's the mountains bro. You don't expect to attack well there. Train mountaineers so you can have some bonuses. Otherwise you shouldn't be attacking to mountains.

Fair enough. No valuable cities there.

Still silly though that 60 divisions can lose to 6 on a mountain.
