Chapter 370 Family background of the tenth war zone
Gao Huairen's general Zhang Xuewu kept nodding, so he said, "Commander-in-chief, I personally think that no matter how my tank develops, it is difficult to keep pace with us without ten or twenty years. I think the biggest weakness of the iron-rid medium-sized main battle tank is not the surname Neng, but the price! In particular, the latest tank is equipped with a long-range rangefinder and an infrared scope for testing. Their cost is so high that we can't equip a lot of it. The quality can indeed disintegrate the quantity, but when the quantity reaches a certain level, the quality will also be submerged.
What Gao Huairen said was actually Zhang Xuewu's headache. He did not have the same huge production capacity as the Soviet Union, let alone the huge military support of the Soviet Union during World War II. Moreover, Zhang Xuewu's precious tank soldiers could not afford to lose, so Zhang Xuewu was forced to ask for the surname of the tank to create a skill. The tank is absolutely leading. You should know that in several large-scale wars in later generations, the quality can't be submerged. A coalition tank company can defeat an enemy's tank brigade, and technology and technology have become the bottleneck restricting Zhang Xuewu.
Moreover, the output of weapons and ammunition is also based on the annual output of Zhang Xuewu Baotou Steel Factory. Although Zhang Xuewu built a high-level furnace with an annual output of 200,000 tons of military steel and special steel in the first two phases, and the third phase of the Baosteel project with an annual output of 300,000 tons was built with the assistance of the Soviet Union, the output of 500,000 tons. It is not enough to maintain high intensity, especially the consumption of wars between countries! Zhang Xuewu was very clear, so he increased the output of mines on the one hand and established a new northwest industrial city in Lanzhou on the other hand.
Now the annual production of weapons and ammunition from Zhang Xuewu's Baotou Industrial Base can basically meet the needs of the troops for continuous high-intensity operations. In particular, in terms of large-caliber shells, the previous Soviet Union's OEM and aided shells made Zhang Xuewu have sufficient reserves, but the output of 150mm heavy howitzers is less than 200 per year. In terms of the speed of big battle loss, the establishment is to survive. Only the production number of 105mm cannons and howitzers and 75mm field guns can be satisfactory, reaching 1,500.
Therefore, Zhang Xuewu adjusted the research and development of the new 75mm 55-fold barrel caliber tank gun, and proposed that this new 75mm long tube gun will be replaced with a jackal light fast tank with a Type 2 turret. Zhang Xuewu also knows that it is impossible to really defeat Japan with his own strength alone. He must take advantage of the international trend, but due to the heavy casualties and generals of the Japanese army in the Chinese battlefield, his overall strategy has also changed to a certain extent?
Originally, I was going to go south, but at this moment, I stared at the weak giant bear of the Soviet Union like history, and Germany was much more powerful than history. Through various military cooperation with Rehe, although Germany failed to finally choose China as its strategic ally, it got a lot. Technology and design concepts can be called cross-generational significance. In fact, on the issue of human technological progress, it is more flexible, or different ways of thinking and angles. Many things turn around and seem to be so simple.
Zhang Xuewu knew that the modern war was industrial strength. He also clearly realized that as long as he endured humiliation for two years and waited for the reversal of the international situation, when the lonely China was not resisting alone, it was when Zhang Xuewu's skills to carry out a comprehensive counterattack in the First World War I. Wait, but now he must learn to accumulate and thicken.
In fact, it is very difficult for Zhang Xuewu to understand his way of thinking? Can't beat your own tenth war zone? Can it beat millions of Soviet Red Army? Except for the joint fleet, it seems that I can no longer have an advantage over the Soviet Union. However, the Soviets are not only a threat. The main energy of the Soviets is concentrated in Europe, not in the Far East. The Far East is just a gateway to the East for the powerful and weak Soviets. The coalition did not want the Soviets to have a full-scale conflict with Japan before he reached an agreement with the Germans and had enough strategic buffer. Even if there was a conflict, both sides were restrained and testing each other's military strength.
Gao Huairen made a display of the captured whole series of Japanese military chariots. Rather than analyzing the enemy's equipment, it was better to show off his own rags. In terms of overall layout, the Japanese military's Type 95 light tanks have many outstanding characteristics, such as overall small and exquisite, high height of the whole vehicle, and turret position. Left side, power compartment on the side of the car body, diagonal machine gun layout, etc. These characteristics make the Japanese Army's Type 95 light fighting vehicle very easy to identify. What is very sad is that the body and turret of the Japanese Army's Type 95 light fighting vehicle are steel armored and welded structures, mainly riveting structures. The thickness of the armor is only 6 to 12 mm, and the armor of the main parts is 12 mm thick, which can only prevent the attack of light weapons. The protective surname is the Achilles' heel of the Type 95 light chariot.
So in the Chaoyang defense battle, eight jackal light tanks, together with an iron horse, destroyed nearly a hundred Japanese Army's Type-99 medium-sized chariots and Type 95 and Type 95.
In fact, this is the transformation of quantitative change, the transformation of quantity, and the transformation between qualitative change and quantitative change. Between the two, where there is not much difference in strength, the advantage of quantity is large and quality. The so-called quality is better than quantity, which is only for the two sides with a huge gap in strength. The failure of the German army in World War II in history is this evidence. There is solid evidence that the weight of modern Western armies in later generations is because there is no possibility of a large-scale war in the current world. The enemies they face are mainly small countries and weak countries with great disparity in strength, so they can fight against quantity with quality. If a large-scale decisive battle really breaks out, it will be basically the same technical level. On the surface, the quantity can still annihilate the quality.
In fact, what Zhang Xuewu is most worried about is that if he really takes the north instead of the historical south, then if he does not involve the interests of the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries in Southeast Asia? So will the Americans who are prevalent in loneliness still join the regiment with their sleeves on their sleeves? Zhang Xuewu believes that the American political axe, which has always been based on interests, is just an excuse to use lonelinessism as an excuse for politicians. The timing of the United States to participate in the war is in the hands of American politicians. The reasons and excuses are just a cover of hypocrisy. The Americans want to ignite the war in Europe. After the two sides have done their best, they are the same. The general war reached out for the benefits, that is, because the sacrifices made by the Americans in World War I did not get the benefits they imagined, so the Americans stood by at the beginning of World War II.
In order to cope with the general trend changes and strategic adjustments of the entire international strategy, Zhang Xuewu decided to become an international strategy department and a campaign evaluation strategy center in Lanzhou, responsible for collecting relevant trends and news from various countries, and analyzing what Zhang Xuewu wants. Relevant information.
Baotou Industrial Base can produce 750 improved light fast tanks and 500 to 600 iron-mounted medium-sized main battle tanks per year, and can also assemble 1,200 75mm "strike" and 105mm "heavy fist" self-propelled artillery, and can produce matching grid-type ammunition, Baotou Although the scale of the industrial base is not small, its output is not high. Moreover, at the tactical level alone, the iron-riding medium-sized main battle tank does not occupy the absolute technical advantage. The war is also a comprehensive surname between countries. It can be said that all available resources have been used to carry out a decisive battle with the name of destruction.
Zhang Xuewu naturally knows that he is not the only one studying nuclear technology. Americans, Germans, Japanese and the Soviets are all conducting relevant research, but Zhang Xuewu's Flame Plan has a leading technical status guarantee in this regard. What the Flame Plan needs now is time.
From the perspective of overall strategy, the northwest and the tenth war zone controlled by Zhang Xuewu have been connected, but most of Shanxi is still in the hands of the Japanese army. Although the main force of the North China Front has retreated to the northeast, the remaining troops are divided into two parts, one is located in Shanxi, and the other is the main force of the army in Central China. Therefore, Zhang Xuewu needs to open up the entire northwest passage. In order to maintain the safety of the transportation passage, Zhang Xuewu must have enough strategic buffers, which means that the tenth war zone must recover the whole of Shanxi and more than half of Shaanxi.
The army has just been established in the northwest. Zhang Xuewu's biggest enemy, the Kwantung Army, built a new defense line along Jinzhou in embarrassment, while the remnants of the North China Army and the Central China Army jointly defended the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou region. The 1.2 million troops and more than 400,000 troops launched a tragic abnormality along the line from Xuzhou to Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou. I know very well that if they lose control of Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou, their hundreds of thousands of troops will be driven to sea. For the overall strategy of the Japanese army, sticking to Shanghai is equivalent to admitting that the war launched by them has fallen into an irreversible failure.
Pism shrouded the whole Japanese islands. China, which was originally vulnerable, hit the imperial army again and again, so that the imperial army now has no power to fight back? The abominable Soviet Russia was still fighting with the Chinese in Tongjiang a few years ago, and in a blink of an eye, with all its advanced technology and active equipment, the [***] team, especially Zhang Xuewu's tenth war zone, received a total of more than [35] billion US dollars of Soviet aid, but it was Zhang Xuewu that I didn't know. It also purchased up to $1.30 billion in arms in the Soviet Union.
Zhang Xuewu's purchase of arms in the Soviet Union made the Soviets make a lot of money in time. Otherwise, Stalin would not be in a hurry to complete this huge secret transaction. It can be said that the whole process of the transaction is supervised and implemented by the people's internal committee. The process is extremely confidential. It is said that I can get a list of Soviet reinforcement weapons, but It is absolutely unknown that such a large amount of dollars quietly flowed into the pockets of the Soviets.
