Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 259:

After the establishment of the Second Empire, the strategic and tactical research of the German military system has always been carried out around the European region. Until the Nazis came to power, there was no systematic and professional research on the Soviet Union and the Red Army.

Germany’s intelligence collection work was completely unqualified. Although many people defended Kanaris and his military intelligence agency after the war, they were unable to conceal his failure in intelligence gathering on the Eastern Front. The headquarters and Yuanta headquarters should have received more effective intelligence support, but in fact, until the start of the Eastern Front, the Nazi leaders still lacked a real understanding of the red behemoth, and everything in Moscow seemed to be hidden behind a veil.

Now because of the Yuan, this situation has been improved. The German Command has a deep understanding of the combat capabilities of the Soviet army. Facing the almost infinite war potential of the Russians, no one will clamor for the initiative. Attacked.

Of course, these veterans with gun oil in their bones will never choose passive defense. A series of targeted tactical research is in full swing. At the same time, Yuan’s European defense strategy is also With the close cooperation of the major alliance countries, it gradually took shape. The command department already knew what a terrifying monster he was going to face and the potential for war the opponent might have. Once this war breaks out, there will be no room for compromise between the two sides. No country can stand alone. This war not only involves ideological disputes, but also a final settlement of the grievances between Russia and Europe for nearly a thousand years.

The Soviet Red Army has carried out practical and effective system reforms in accordance with their own characteristics. Of course, there will be some power games in it, but Moscow has indeed broken through a series of difficulties and built a modern Equipped with a powerful army that threatens European security.

At present, whether the German blitzkrieg and the best company-platoon-level defense system can cope with the wavy impact of the opponent’s usual regiment scale is still unknown from the General Staff.

The Soviet Army’s deep combat thinking is not yet mature at this time, but the ghosts know what war talent these fighting nations have. Maybe after two weeks of fighting, they will be able to find the missing pieces. The terror of the Soviet army is that they don’t care about the loss of the troops. They have an unprecedented scale of reserves, unless the German army can quickly annihilate the main backbone of the Red Army after the war, but with the current strength of the German army, this idea is obviously It is an unrealistic daydream.

The Soviet army is very good at learning warfare in the war. It only needs to shoot the former commander to death, and the later ones will learn enough lessons. This is not a joke. The Red Army implements an effective system of quick development of officers, and war is the test room for the best personal military capabilities. Of course, there may be the risk of the unfortunate death of talented officer Miao Zi, but there is a saying. Well, luck is also an important condition for judging the strength of an officer. Everyone likes to have a commander with an overwhelming lucky value, rather than some unlucky one who has experienced many battles.

The topic went far, and returned to the Kummersdorf weapons test site. The High Command was deeply shocked by the strength of the Soviet Red Army’s artillery in the intelligence. Compared with the violent Soviet artillery, the current German support firepower can only be said to be quite satisfactory. The production capacity of German domestic military enterprises has become saturated, but there is not much time left for Germany. Germany can only seek support from abroad until the country’s industrial potential is fully tapped.

Large-caliber artillery has always been a touchstone for testing a country’s industrial strength. At present, countries that can independently develop and manufacture large-caliber artillery are only those old powers in Europe. Italy and France have excellent artillery manufacturing technology, and they have also produced excellent artillery groups. Given that neither the French nor the Italian Sixth Army has plans to purchase large-caliber artillery at present, Germany is reluctant to help them use their production capacity. Machines and furnaces must not be left idle. Workers also need to get wages to feed their families. But it is common throughout Europe.

This time Xu Jun came to inspect two 155mm cannons made in France. These two guns are still the barrels of the French 6th Army heirloom gpF155. Although they were designed in 1917, they still stand the test of time. This type of artillery used a new type of German-designed gun mount, and the French production plant also deliberately improved the structure of the breech, using the horizontal breech block used by the Germans. If the German-made 155mm conventional grenade is used, it can achieve a score of 21,000 meters with the largest charge. The overall performance is very close to the US military’s m1 “Long Tube Tom”.

The French side guarantees to provide the German army with one hundred of this artillery and all repair parts every month. If Xu Jun’s judgment is not accidental, the German army will receive one thousand when the Eastern Front war breaks out. Up to one thousand and two hundred division-level heavy artillery pieces are enough to assemble an overwhelming group of heavy artillery pieces.

This large-caliber artillery was finalized as the k4o cannon, and the French army named it netde155mmgpF194o. While equipping the German army, it also began to equip the French artillery.

The power of these two artillery pieces does not worry Xu Jun at all. The French have always had their own experience in playing artillery. Although they sometimes click on a few science and technology trees, no one will doubt the performance of French artillery. , I am afraid that most of the high-level officers in the high command will agree. Even the former Yuan once squatted in the muddy trenches of the Western Front, trembling under the bombardment of heavy French artillery.

What interests Xu Jun is the artillery auxiliary power system he designed. The front part of the 4o gun mount can be mounted with a 50-horsepower diesel engine and two driving wheels. This auxiliary power can tow this door. The twelve-ton cannon moves at a speed of five kilometers per hour. Don’t underestimate the fact that it’s slower than walking. Many of the large-caliber artillery lost on the Eastern Front in history were due to the fact that when an emergency evacuation was required, the artillery could not put a dozen tons of artillery on the tractor in a short time. They were abandoned on the spot in desperation, and if these artillery had even a little autonomous mobility at the time, these losses might not have occurred. Of course, this kind of mobility cannot be used for long-distance marches, but it is very useful when moving the gun position in a short time. Especially when the two sides are engaged in sporadic artillery battles, a large-caliber artillery that appears and disappears can definitely bring invisible psychological pressure to the enemy. , Xu Jun is looking forward to the performance of this artillery on the Eastern Front.

The German guns equipped with various types and models ~ IndoMTL.com~ but the performance is lackluster. In World War II, the German artillery has never been outstanding. On the contrary, the wide variety of ammunition brought heavy pressure to the logistics, even Said that dragged the entire Wehrmacht. Xu Jun was unable to make too many changes to this situation at this time. With so many equipment still in service, it was impossible to eliminate them all at once. Xu Jun can only transfer those old guns to the eastern defense line as much as possible, and then naturally consume them in the war.

“This cannon fully meets the technical requirements we need.” Brausic commented solemnly to Model standing next to him. The 6th Army Marshal has a very leisurely life these few days. First, he has a wave of existence on several social occasions, and at the same time presided over some ceremonies. The rest of the time is to enjoy the benefits that a German 6th Army marshal should have.

“This is what the 6th Army needs most now. Krupp was still a bit dissatisfied at first, but when I asked him if he could give me the same number of artillery every month, he immediately shut his mouth obediently. “Xu Jun was chatting with Keitel, in order to show the scene at the time, he also deliberately shrank his shoulders.

The “joke” Yuan said immediately caused a lot of laughter, but if you want to say that the smile is the most sincere, it must belong to Himmler, the national leader of the SS. The Minister of the Interior has been very moisturizing these days, and his thin cheeks have become a little plump. Xu Jun felt that following this trend, the chief leader is likely to grow a double chin. This is a historical wonder, Xu Jun decided to take a photo with Himmler.

ps: Thank you for your support. I suddenly have something to do today. I can only change it. I have to go to the hospital tomorrow. The double change can only be the day after tomorrow.
