Chapter 32 Soldiers in Jinghai
(The collection has only increased by 20... There is no excuse to add more! Everyone, give me some strength! Please! Thank you! Three updates tomorrow!)
After the troops arrived at the Tianjin Jing Naval Battalion, Zhang Xuewu immediately divided the camps for various departments, and the resting camp became the top priority of the newly formed first brigade. The situation in Tianjin Jinghai was very special. According to the Xinchou Treaty, there were troops stationed in Shanhaiguan and the southwest of Tianjin Jinghai, which was far from the newly formed first brigade battalion. Two miles away is the garrison of the Japanese Army Gaoqiao Squadron! China and the two countries killed in Jinzhou, but the Japanese army stationed in China seemed to be fine? The war between the two countries has become a reality, but neither of them has declared war on each other? How weird is this? The weird year of 1932!
Just as Zhang Xuewu led the troops to renovate the camp, Jinzhou fell! For this reason, Zhang Xuewu drank all night.
But the next day, Zhang Xuewu appeared in the front row of the army. After arriving in Jinghai, Zhang Xuewu was most concerned about the training of Zhang Tianpeng's artillery battalion and Tang Ziqiang's mechanized cavalry battalion.
Zhang Xuewu's artillery is the most advanced Swedish Bofus M1930L20 75mm mountain cannon in the world. Thirty-six artillery were purchased from Sweden before the September 18th Incident. Because of the fall of the Northeast, it was unloaded from Tianjin Port. Zhang Xuewu happened to be informed by Zhang Xuewu, so Sandeng Zhang Xueliang's residence, which had been demoted to the chairman of the Beiping Military Branch, finally got what he wanted.
The characteristics of this kind of gun are very obvious, that is, its muzz speed is slow, but the rate of fire is fast, the accuracy is high, the failure rate is low, and it is very convenient to disassemble and transport parts. Zhang Tianpeng simply loves these 36 Bofus mountain cannons. Although this batch of Bofus mountain guns is made in Sweden, it is indeed German. Lupp's full set of technology, because after World War I, German military enterprises were subject to the Treaty of Versailles, and Germany was not allowed to produce advanced Krup artillery at home, so without avoiding this problem, Krup had to open a subsidiary in Sweden to manufacture Bofors Mountain guns and sell them to China.
The 36 guns bought by Zhang Xueliang were originally made for the Turks. Due to the economic difficulties of the Turks, they were robbed by Zhang Xueliang with a lot of money!
After this batch of Bofus mountain cannons was handed over to Zhang Tianpeng, it began strict training. Every gun is a treasure for the middle [***] team. If you look at the whole middle [***] team, even the central army of Nanjing political axe is not rich enough to form a mixed brigade with thirty-six guns and seventy-five. The battalion of millimeter cannons? The mixed brigade, which was cancelled in the 19th year of the Republic of China, is now the only one in Zhang Xuewu's headquarters of the Northeast Border Defense Army. It is not a problem to expand into an artillery regiment according to the establishment of Zhang Tianpeng's artillery battalion. However, Zhang Xuewu has compiled three four battalions of infantry regiments, a three companies of mechanized cavalry battalion, engineering battalions, and Tong Information camp, so when you get to Zhang Tianpeng, you can only strengthen the establishment of the artillery battalion at most.
The situation was tense. Zhang Xuewu inspected Zhang Tianpeng's artillery battalion many times. As a result, he was shocked that under Zhang Tianpeng's training, the well-trained artillery soldiers were able to shoot the absolute theoretical rate of fire of 25 rounds per minute under Zhang Tianpeng's training?
Although Zhang Xuewu is not a professional artilleryman, he knows very well that it takes two seconds for the Bofus Mountain gun to return to the back seat. If later generations use a computer automatic loader, this kind of rapid fire can be achieved, but the artillery commanded by Zhang Tianpeng is actually completed by manual shelling. Of? How can this not shock Zhang Xuewu?
Zhang Xuewu's smiling Zhang Tianpeng shouted to his side. After inquiring, he learned that he thought that he was at a disadvantage in the artillery battle. First, he naturally had to use the shortest time to achieve the fastest rate of fire to achieve the expected attack effect. Second, he wanted to compress the shooting time and avoid The long-term speeding shooting causes burn damage to the body tube and protects the extremely precious artillery.
Zhang Tianpeng personally demonstrated for Zhang Xuewu. The essential of this three-person loading method is that the ammunition supplier hands the shell to the loader. The loader opens the gun at the moment when the back seat of the gun is stopped. At this time, the shell casing will slide out at high speed due to the residual pressure in the barrel and the usual surname of the back seat, and the loader will immediately Put the new bullet into the gun that has not yet returned to position, and close the flat gun door.
At the same time, the gunner uses more than a second to make a aiming fine-tun, which is very important to the accuracy of the shelling. When the gun body re-enters the position, the gunner fires quickly, so the shooting accuracy of each firing gun is not affected, but the result is obvious, that is, the gunner and loading. The injury to the hand may have increased several times, and it is also common to be burned by the hot residual heat.
This shocking three-person loading method made Zhang Xuewu break out in a cold sweat. Looking at the various scars on the arms and back of his hands, Zhang Xuewu knew how dangerous this shooting method was. People were forced out. The 75mm artillery in the Chinese Army has been called cannons. In Europe, 105mm caliber is a watershed between medium-caliber artillery and heavy artillery. The huge gap between national, industrial and military strength makes China [***] people have to find a way to use the few weapons they can control to give the enemy the greatest killing, which is so helpless and tragic.
Compared with the more advanced 75mm Bofors mountain gun, these 24 French-made Renault FT-17 light tanks make Zhang Xuewu very entangled! The Renault FT-17 light tank can't be regarded as a tank in Zhang Xuewu's eyes. Just like the Italian Vickers tank, it is vulnerable even in front of the 37mm Pak35 battle gun.
The input of this tank can only be aimed at opponents with no anti-tank firepower at all. The Renault FT-17 light tank is a light tank produced by France during World War I. It is the world's first rotating turret tank. Its total combat weight is 7 tons, the maximum speed is 10km/h, and it has 2 crew members. It is equipped with an 8mm Model 1914 machine gun, 4,800 ammunition, and an armor thickness of 6-22mm.
Zhang Zuolin once purchased and equipped a batch of more than 20 French Renault FT-17 light tanks through the Shanghai Laiford Foreign Action Northeast Army, and equipped the tanks with a Czech-made 7.92mmZB-26 light machine gun. In 1926, in the direct war with the direct warlord Wu Peifu, he used This batch of tanks was used, but due to the lack of effective Butan cooperation and the lack of tactical investment timing and experience, this batch of tanks did not play the expected effect, but caused many of them to be destroyed, which also made Zhang Zuolin question the expensive big guy as tanks, and indirectly led to the development of armored soldiers in the northeastern army. Fall into a standstill.
For this batch of Renault FT-17 light tanks, Zhang Xuewu's plan is to let Tang Ziqiang use it as a training vehicle. In order to cooperate with the coordinated training of tanks, Zhang Xuewu transferred a strengthening company from each of the three main regiments to Tang Ziqiang to form an infantry company affiliated to the mechanized cavalry battalion, so as to update the new model. Zhang Xuewu has no clue about the problem of tanks at this moment.
However, Zhang Xuewu has a principle, that is, he would rather let people wait for cars and cannons than let weapons and others.
For Zhang Xuewu, the current delay was not to reorganize the training force, but to go to Nanjing to participate in a half-year advanced training class of the Army University. The specific affairs of the brigade were handed over to Xu Guohui, the commander of the first regiment and the infantry commander of the brigade, and Li Xin, the chief of staff of the brigade! It can be said that the material warehouses of Jinzhou and Beiping, which can be collected by Zhang Xuewu, have been emptied by the newly formed first brigade. Zhang Xuewu has become the most popular guy. To put it bluntly, now that even Zhang Xuewu invites guests to dinner, I'm afraid it's too much to come.
However, Zhang Xuewu has more expectations for this trip to Nanjing! That is, what can the generous Jiang Gongzhong give himself?
