In addition to cannons, Zhang Hanqing also prioritized the development of tanks that will surely amaze the military. This war monster invented during World War I was not taken seriously until ten years later, and large-scale research on its tactics began. Based on the information obtained in his previous life, Zhang Hanqing was unique in the training and use of tanks: concentration.
The T-20 tank has been modified and developed many times and has been put into mass production. From the initial battalion-level establishment of 30 tanks, it has grown to a huge number of 300 tanks. Because this is Zhang Hanqing's "private property", Zhang Hanqing has the right to decide on its use and organization.
Zhang Hanqing organized this huge armored force into an armored division and named it a resounding designation: the First Armored Division.
Wang Wen, who was adept at attacking, was promoted to division commander. The captain of the cavalry company who played the first role when the Guards brigade was formed has grown into a senior official who can take charge of his own role after several years of training.
His resume in the military is also very strange: cavalry company commander, cavalry regiment commander, infantry regiment commander, infantry brigade commander, infantry division commander, and now armored division commander, every rank has been a full-time job, becoming a legend in the People's Army.
The 1st Armored Division is separated from the establishment of the eight military regions in order to facilitate centralized use. It is given special attention as a strategic reserve force of the Central Military Commission and strives to expand the scale of this force.
Although Zhang Zuolin and other old-style soldiers had doubts about the combat capabilities of tanks, because the country's industrial and economic power could support such investment, and the young marshal's various whimsical ideas emerged one after another and yielded many results, they did not interfere much. .
This was a very important factor in the early stages of tank development: the armored force, represented by tanks, first appeared during World War I. At that time, the armored force only existed as an auxiliary force. Even by the early 1930s, the military idea of ??combining tanks with infantry was still taking root in the minds of most military theorists.
Only the German armored combat expert Guderian, the British military theorist Fuller, and the Soviet Union's Zhukov were active advocates of the combat idea of ??forming a large-scale armored mechanized army and using armored forces as an independent force to fight. And put his own armored combat ideas into actual combat. It also created their outstanding achievements in the history of war.
Zhang Hanqing will not go back to the old path that they have gained through more than ten years of understanding and bloody lessons. To borrow a sentence from the British military theorist Fuller: "Since tanks can move faster than infantry, in order to seize the initiative when war breaks out, it is necessary to maintain enough mechanized troops in peacetime to prepare for rapid mobilization in war. ¡ Combining tanks with infantry is like coupling tractors with horses. Asking them to operate in coordination with artillery is ludicrous.¡±
With the dignity of a young commander, he personally built this steel force, and worked hard to teach the armored combat theory to the students at the National Defense University in order to cultivate successors for modern warfare.
Zhang Hanqing formulated his unique military concept in the training syllabus for officers above the regiment of the Armored Corps, which later became the most outstanding achievement of the "deep offensive" campaign theory. This deep offensive campaign theory is based on having a large number of aircraft and artillery. , armored troops and other mechanized units as the premise.
The main tasks of the depth campaign: The first task is to conduct an assault on the enemy's entire tactical depth to break through the enemy's front; the second task is to immediately throw mechanized troops into the breakthrough. This force, with the coordination of aviation, should attack the enemy's entire battle depth. Attack until the enemy group is eliminated.
? Simply put, it¡¯s breakthrough, breakthrough, breakthrough.
Due to limitations in industrial capacity, Japan was even slower in developing its thoughts and actions on tanks: it did not begin development until 1925 and established its troops in 1929. However, for the same reason, throughout World War II, the Japanese tanks had small tonnage and thin armor. The characteristics of its small operating radius and backward artillery are obvious, and it does not play much role on the battlefield at all.
This kind of "thin-skinned" armored vehicle was just fine against the unarmed Chinese anti-war soldiers, but its true colors were revealed in a fight with the Soviet Union.
?Compared with the increasingly enlightened Chinese military, the Japanese Army is not very welcoming of new weapons such as tanks. In addition to the superstitious spirit and omnipotence, the organizational structure of the Japanese Army is also a reason.
The strongest organization of the Japanese Army is the regiment (regiment), because except for the Guards Division, the regiments of the other divisions are so-called "local regiments". Everyone in the regiment has to behave honestly with their tail between their legs. , otherwise you will fart and go home smelly.
The regimental captain (regiment leader) was a big local tyrant and evil gentry. Even in the last days of the Pacific War, if you knew the regiment commander, the "call-up letter" would still not be sent to your home. How about it, is it evil enough?
The commanders don't like tanks. They likeWhat? Like horses. Tanks are not profitable for them. Building tanks is a matter for the factory, and ordering tanks is a matter for the staff headquarters. The fuel for the tanks is also uniformly supplied - there is no trick. And what about the horse? Horse feed is a big deal. Where to buy it and how much to buy are tricky.
There is nothing you can do if you become a tank captain. Ordinary captains generally stay away from tanks. The Japanese Navy is corrupt from the top (the "Siemens incident" of ordering warships before World War I is an example), while the Japanese Army is corrupt from the middle level.
In terms of mortars, the 60mm guns mainly equipped by the Chinese infantry battalions have the same performance as similar weapons of the Japanese army. However, the Japanese army is equipped with a large number of 50mm caliber Type 89 grenades (6 in one squadron). The Japanese have certain capabilities. Melee firepower advantage.
???????????????????? However, the Japanese grenades, the smoothbore ones are completely blind, and the veterans still have a certain degree of accuracy. But the premise is that you have been training for many years, and the enemy has little suppressive firepower, so you can use it calmly. Now that the People's Army field artillery has begun to be equipped at the regiment level, in terms of firepower, it depends on the power of the division's artillery; in terms of attacking difficulties, the People's Army has an absolute advantage.
In terms of the number of artillery pieces, a Chinese division has 54 howitzers of various types and 54 field guns, for a total of 108 artillery pieces. During the same period, the Japanese army had only 54 mountain guns or field guns in one division, and the frequency and scale of its replacement of 105mm caliber cannons were not as high as those of the Chinese army.
And Zhang Hanqing was determined that if the army level was compared with the Japanese divisions, the number of cannons would increase to 378, and the difference in heavy firepower would be 7 times stronger.
There are 28,200 people in Japan's Class A division, 24,400 in Class B, and only 15,500 in Class C. As for the Class D division composed of teams, there is no need to compare. The number of troops reorganized by the People's Army in 1927 was 50,059, which was twice that of Japan's first-class divisions. China had an advantage.
With China¡¯s huge human resources, it is not difficult to form another 100 such armies, but Japan does not dare to make such big claims. Therefore, judging from the advantages in army numbers and equipment alone, China and Japan are not on the same level.
With such heavy weapons and individual soldier equipment, Chinese soldiers are not inferior to the Japanese army.
The Japanese army mainly uses the 6.5 mm caliber Meiji 38 (1905)-style rifle, commonly known as the "Sanba Daigai". It has the advantages of good accuracy, long range and long gun body, which is conducive to hand-to-hand combat, but it also has the advantages of small caliber and lethality. Poor weaknesses. According to official history, Yan Xishan's Taiyuan Arsenal once imitated the gun in the 1920s. After the troops got it, they complained that it had little lethality and disliked it.
Since the late Qing Dynasty, most Chinese military circles have been interested in German-style 7.92 mm caliber firearms. The earliest rifle equipped in large quantities in history was an improved version of the Mauser - "Made in Hanyang": In 1935, the Nanjing government, based on the advice of German consultants, unified the entire army with the German Kar98 Mauser rifle as the standard, except for outsourcing. It is counterfeited in China as "China Official" (along with kat98, it is called "Seven-Nine" gun).
This type of gun has been the main equipment of the German army in World War II.
Most old people who participated in the Anti-Japanese War know that the wound of the "79" gun is small when it goes in, and a piece of meat can be taken out; the 6.5 mm "38 cover" is not only small in caliber, but also has a "big hole" due to ballistic design flaws. , how big does it come out?" At that time, people joked: "If you hit a Japanese soldier with a 38-meter gun, he will come back a few days later."
The Japanese army also felt that the 38-gun was ineffective. In 1939, it finally developed the Type 99 rifle with a caliber of 7.7 mm. Its performance was equivalent to the German Kar98 type. However, due to limited production capacity, it only prioritized equipping the Kwantung Army and later the Southern Army. The elite divisions and the "China Expeditionary Force" in China's Guannei battlefield continue to be equipped with the "38" type.
At this time and space, the Mauser rifle became the standard firearm for the infantry of the People's Army ahead of schedule, taking the lead in comparing individual weapons against Japan. As for the machine guns used as light weapons, the performance of the Czech light machine gun (general-purpose German 7.9 mm ammunition) mainly equipped by the People's Army is also much better than the Japanese "Crooked" machine gun (Taisho 11th year, 1926 type) ).
The reason is that the Japanese machine guns have poor ammunition supply, and the general-purpose 6.5mm bullets are not lethal enough. In terms of heavy firepower, the Japanese heavy machine gun is Type 92, which uses 7.7 mm caliber bullets and has good cold resistance. The disadvantage is that it is inconvenient to operate by feeding bullets and is easy to jam;
The People's Army has great experience in using the Maxim heavy machine gun and believes that apart from the trouble of water cooling, its reliability is better than that of the Type 92.
Overall, the Japanese Army has been pushed down a notch by China. This is determined by China¡¯s national conditions, which emphasize land over sea. It is also a practical need. Without the stability of the land, how can we talk about coastal defense?
Of course, Japan does not look down upon a weak China, and none of its close neighbors in Asia has sufficient army strength, which is one of the reasons why it does not pay attention to the development of army equipment. And when facing maritime powers such as Britain and the United States, he kept pace with the times. This shows that the strength of your opponent will really affect your level.
In addition to teammates who are like pigs that will drag you down, opponents who are like sheep will also reduce your wolfishness.
From a simple comparison of numbers, it can be seen that when the lethargic China is armed to the head by the People's Party, the power it radiates is astonishing! China, just across the sea, has risen. Why do you still look at the problem from the old perspective? ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)In addition to dragging you down, sheep-like opponents will also make you less wolfish.
