Chapter 371 The beginning of chaos

Compared with Zhulongtang's historical bloody extinction plunder and the shameless encroachment of the Americans and the British, there are still nearly 100 billion US dollars in assets. I know that the part he extracted is nothing. Zhang Xuewu also knows that Zhou Ying also needs time to exchange US dollars and gold for his much-needed weapons. Materials, but in the face of the heavy blockade and arms embargo of the international community, Zhou Ying paid far more than twice the price. Zhou Ying was also suffering from great pressure and missing, but Zhang Xuewu's good news quickly cheered her up.

A special forces combat detachment sent by Zhang Xuewu to serve as a guard has grown to the scale of 30,000 people, and even began to gather in the form of a factory to receive some relevant training. This Zhulongtang leading guard scattered around the world is the core force of Zhulongtang, coupled with activities around the world's docks and There are organized underground Chinese forces in various places, with a total of more than 400,000 Chinese youth participating in military training. Their production and life are also carried out in accordance with the reserve forces in the old establishment of the Rehe Army.

Zhou Ying has mobilized a group of skilled young people, such as driving cars, bulldozers and other machinery, to know something about the iron-blooded Chinese Ba's Republic of China, and volunteered to join the Iron-blooded Chinese Ba's Ba's Republic of China. She gave priority to Kunming through the rugged roads in Yunnan and Myanmar. She traveled to the northwest and finally arrived in Chengde. Zhou Ying knew that Zhang He continued to learn martial arts pilots, especially fighter pilots, so he secretly transferred more than 560 pilots with excellent skills and long flight time from airlines around the world. He and more than 500 students returned to China through Hong Kong and were protected by the troops in the tenth theater. After arriving at Baotou Aviation School through the northwest of Jin, these backbones and fresh blood are like adding wings to Zhang Xuewu.

The 5,100 million US dollars donated by overseas Chinese during the whole period of the Anti-Japanese War are really nothing. You should know that the Chinese political axe received only 7:305 billion U.S. aid during the whole Anti-Japanese War. The theoretical data mentioned by the United Kingdom and the United States includes the loss and consumption of maritime transportation, as well as the part embezzlement by the British. If historically overseas All the donations raised by the Chinese can really be exchanged for armaments for the battlefield, so it will definitely be a earth-shaking change. Not to mention the purchasing capacity of more than 5 billion US dollars, in terms of the military production speed of the United States, it will not take long for more than 5 billion orders, especially the [***] team urgently needs anti-aircraft weapons. With weapons and ordinary infantry light weapons, Chinese soldiers' dependence on weapons and equipment has been minimized. Their most urgent hope is that when the dense enemy forces rush towards them like a tide, there are still bullets in their guns.

Zhang Xuewu no longer cares about the overall pattern of the world. Compared with history, the rise of the Germans has become a fact, and it is unstoppable. The Soviets are also secretly planning to invade Finland, and the Germans are also aggressively invading the Sudetai region, and even the whole Czech Republic. The Czech Republic is the third largest military weapon in the world. The country of production, 75mm artillery, 105mm artillery, 150mm artillery, Czech rifles and machine guns are world-famous. The Germans have a large amount of sufficient funds to have a larger armored regiment than history. After the annexation of the Czech Republic, the strength of the Germans can only soar, and the British and French appeasementism is also better than the calendar. History seems to be even more powerless.

The Germans' new chariot and alloy series of weapons, including the BF-109 series of fighters, which have been improved five times in a year in a row, and the German Let's start-load a small number of Hundred-tongue fighters, which surprised the British and the French. Their fighters and Tan Ke is not a German opponent at all. The end of fighting on the same platform is to humiliate himself. Even German rookie pilots can shoot down the trump card of Britain and France. Is the gap in technical strength so big?

Chamberlain is undoubtedly an excellent international politician. The core ability of international politicians is to sell the interests of other countries and preserve their own countries.

But if Chamberlain's compromise meets a rational politician, it may be very effective, but he meets Hitler, a madman who wants to rule the world.

After several months of melee from Xuzhou to Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou, both the Japanese army and [***] suffered heavy casualties. The Japanese army began to shrink its defenses to the Shanghai area in an all-round way, and was completely abandoned by the internationally entrusted Nanjing, which also made the 101st Division of the Japanese Army and the 106th Division to hold Hangzhou. Campaign salient.

Li Zongren, who commanded the fifth war zone, and Chen Cheng in the ninth war zone, together with Cheng Qian in the first war zone, the three jointly suggested to Chiang Kai-shek that the time to march into Nanjing to end the trusteeship is ripe. As a country with a high national ideology of complete sovereignty, this is absolutely unacceptable. The tenth war zone of learning martial arts is also under the jurisdiction of the national government axe, so Zhang Xuewu will not be the leader. What he needs now is time to develop the economy and industry.

However, the proposals of Li Zongren, Chen Cheng, Cheng Qian and others also put Chiang Kai-shek in a dilemma. After all, more than 400,000 troops of the Japanese army are still huddled in the Shanghai-Hangzhou area. [***] Although they surrounded the enemy heavily, they were unable to attack, because the Japanese army, which had the advantage in the air, would be combined with its huge naval support. **] The team can only repeat the mistakes of the Battle of Shanghai. The Japanese army stationed in Shanghai and Hangzhou is not a tube of toothpaste, and it can squeeze into the sea with a little force!

And the nine-nation convention organization that trusts Nanjing is meeting endlessly. Trusting Nanjing means controlling the control of the golden area of the Yangtze River in the hinterland of China. Coal, silk, cotton, grain, steel and so on from south to north have to pass through its control area, because the UK, which is responsible for presiding over the trusteeship committee. People can even use chewed sugar cane dregs to squeeze oil. The British are unwilling to spit out what they eat at a cost, and the countries that follow them are naturally more willing to take advantage of the leading brothers.

As a result, large-scale student demonstrations broke out in Nanjing, Wuhan and Yucheng. [***] Since they have begun to defeat the Japanese invaders, Nanjing will naturally return to the hands of the Chinese. In the eyes of the Chinese, this is a matter of course! However, once the interests of countries are involved, it is another matter.

Does the national political axe have to face two enemies at the same time in order to recover Nanjing? One is the nine-nation convention organization. Only the Americans who have little interest in it are neutrality. They believe that Nanjing should be immediately returned to the [***] team, especially the railways and locomotives in the hands of the international trusteeship coalition forces, which is even for the defense of the [***] team. The attack is extremely favorable.

The national political axe has something to do, and Zhang Xuewu is also making long-term strategic plans and plans. Zhang Xuewu also admitted that the Soviet Union's T-34 medium tanks are recognized as one of the best tanks in World War II. The T-34's firepower, protection, mobility and easy production and surnames have reached The best equilibrium state.

It can be said that from 1941 to 1942, the surname of the T-34 could completely overwhelm most of the German tanks at that time, but it is worth noting that from 1941 to 1942, when the T-34 had the most prominent comparative advantage, the T-34 still suffered heavy losses and suffered losses on the battlefield. The loss far exceeds that of German tanks in the same period. Generally speaking, the loss of Soviet tanks is more than six times that of that of the German army. In addition to objective factors such as poor command ability and weak maintenance and preparation strength of the Soviet army, the T-34 medium tank is not invincible, and some of its own weaknesses are also the cause of the heavy loss.

While improving the iron-riding medium-sized main battle tank, Zhang Xuewu himself also paid attention to analyzing some obvious weaknesses of the T-34. For example, its double turret has design defects. Among the four people in the T-34 tank crew, the captain and loader are located in the turret, and the captain assumes the responsibility of the gunnery at the same time, which causes the burden on the captain. Excessive weight.

In the fierce battle situation, tank group command and artillery shooting are very important. The former is responsible for controlling the overall situation, and the latter determines the attack ability. The division of labor between two people is far more efficient than one person. There are three main models of T-34/76, but they all use two-person small turrets, which greatly affects the combat effectiveness. Under the premise of not achieving a certain degree of automation, the actual combat efficiency of the turret of the T-34 tank is really not flattering.

The actual combat test has proved that the two-person turret design of the T-34 tank equipment has greatly reduced the actual firing rate of the T-34 artillery. Compared with the German IV tank with a three-person turret, the theoretical rate of fire of the T-34/76 is not too bad, but the rate of fire in actual combat is often only one-third or even a quarter of that of the former.

Although the Soviet-made long-tube 76mm gun is far stronger than the German 50mm and 75mm tank guns before 1942, the command and shooting efficiency are not adjusted, making it difficult for the T-34 to give full play to its artillery power. The improved model of the T-34/76 has been trying to change this innate defect. However, several designs could not be put into production. Historically, it was not until the end of 1943 that the T-34/85 was really converted into a three-person turret, and the artillery commander and the vehicle commander achieved an effective division of labor.

For Zhang Xuewu, the turret of the iron-riding tank is also double, and the captain also serves as the gunner, so in the new turret of the improved iron-riding tank, Zhang Xuewu also plans to adopt a five-person vehicle group.

Secondly, the T-34/76 is seriously lacking in radio devices. In the original design, the T-34 considered the installation of radio communication devices. However, due to the insufficient production capacity of the Soviet electronics industry, although the T-34/76 produced more than 10,000 in the first year or two years, only a small number of chariots could be equipped with radio devices.

Due to the lack of radio, it is almost impossible to form an effective command when the T-34 fights in formation, and it can only use flag language between vehicles. In the case of poor inter-vehicle communication, the combat method of the T-34 formation is very rigid, and it can only act according to the action of the command tank, which is extremely flexible. In the face of ambushes and encounters, the defect of the T-34's lack of wireless communication is the most fatal. A few tanks that found the target or were attacked could not notify the whole formation, causing the entire Soviet T-34 tank formation to be defeated by the enemy.
