Chapter 117 Anti-aircraft artillery assault detachment
How can we better attack the Japanese Kwantung Army? We have counted the weapons in the base one by one. The base's arsenal now has 20-gun box guns; Mauser 98k rifles; mg34 general-purpose machine guns; m2 heavy machine guns; and PM1938 heavy-duty machine guns.
Mortar; 88mm anti-aircraft gun; Dora cannon.
Pistols, rifles, and light and heavy machine guns have all reached their maximum potential. The PM1938 heavy mortar is easy to disassemble. Although it weighs more than 500 kilograms, it requires more manpower and can be run around on a stretcher, so its potential has been almost fully realized.
The Dora cannon is too heavy and cannot be moved with the existing personnel. It can only be fixed on the outside of the base and used as a deterrent defensive weapon.
Although the 88mm anti-aircraft gun weighs 5.5 tons, is it overkill for a fixed fort?

In its original role as an anti-aircraft gun, the 88mm anti-aircraft gun performed very well. Because it is a semi-automatic breech gun, it can achieve a high rate of fire. It is the most numerous anti-aircraft gun equipped by the German army, and the 105mm and 1(mm high
Together with the guns, they formed a tight medium-to-high altitude air-to-air defense fire, protecting important industrial centers in Germany and allowing these factories to maintain production as much as possible under the heavy bombing of the British and American strategic air forces.
The 88 anti-aircraft gun has very strong air defense capabilities. Even in the last few years when the Allies fully controlled the air, the 88 anti-aircraft gun still posed a great threat to Allied aircraft.
The 88mm anti-aircraft gun is the proud product of Krupp Company. It has high accuracy, long range, high power, and more importantly, it has fast response. A skilled artillery squad operating the 88mm anti-aircraft gun can easily destroy any enemy target. Of course,
The 88 anti-aircraft gun can also be used as an ordinary howitzer to launch anti-personnel grenades.
In fact, the 88mm artillery is a high-level dual-purpose gun, or even a three-purpose gun. This kind of gun can hit aircraft, tanks, and even attack artillery positions. The key lies in the different types of ammunition. 88mm artillery shells are mainly grenades and armor-piercing projectiles.
There are also armor-piercing bombs and illumination bombs.
Use tracer grenades when masturbating. There are 15 grooves on the warhead, which can effectively increase the number of fragments.
The black armor-piercing bullet has a total weight of 9.5 kilograms and contains 130 grams of a mixture of TNT and paraffin. Its armor-piercing power is considerable. It can penetrate 105 mm thick steel armor at a shooting distance of 1,000 meters.
The German 88mm anti-aircraft gun itself is an anti-aircraft gun. There were no anti-aircraft missiles during World War II. In order to deal with high-altitude bombers such as the "B-17 Super Flying Fortress", large-caliber anti-aircraft guns must be equipped. The Germans are equipped with 88mm anti-aircraft guns, and the Soviet Union is equipped with 85 and
100mm, the American equipment is 75mm anti-aircraft gun...
The success of the 88 gun in anti-tank is not worth bragging about. It is just killing a chicken with a knife and bullying the small. The average anti-tank gun is only 37 mm. The German 88 mm anti-aircraft gun is very powerful because of its good accuracy.
, it’s really fun to fight tanks, one at a time, the opponent has no temper.
Laying it flat to shoot tanks first appeared on the Soviet-German battlefield. The T-34 was rampaging. The Germans' No. 3 and No. 4 were unable to do anything about it. They were forced to use the larger caliber 88 gun to shoot flat. They found that the effect was good, so they derived a specialized
The combat defense type, and later the Tiger main gun was developed, which is quite versatile!
Rommel, the Desert Fox, first arranged several units of 88mm anti-aircraft guns in camouflage, and then ordered a small group of German tanks to attack the British positions. When the British army sent tanks to counterattack, the group of German tanks fought and retreated, and gradually
Introduce British tanks into the ambush area.
As soon as the 88mm anti-aircraft gun spoke, the British tanks were miserable. The 22-pound armor-piercing projectile could punch a four-inch diameter hole in the frontal armor of the British heavy tank at a distance of nearly two thousand meters, but the Germans often
They waited until they were within a thousand meters before firing. At this time, it only took a little more than a second for the 88mm armor-piercing projectile to fly from the muzzle to the target. The British tanks had no time to react, let alone fight back.
Based on the prototype gun model flak18, in addition to pak43, German experts "transferred" from the German Krupp company to the Swedish Bofors company have also successively introduced various other modifications of the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, which have greatly improved
Flak 36 and 41 modified anti-aircraft guns with high range, as well as the Type 42 tank gun that became the famous "Tiger" heavy tank main gun, and some are equipped on "Leopard" and "Tiger" tank destroyers as
Main gun.
Thinking of this, Feng Quan really felt that using the 88mm anti-aircraft gun as a fixed fort for base air defense was indeed a bit overkill and a waste of resources. He should use it properly.
In fact, when the system presented the towed 88mm anti-aircraft gun as a gift, it also randomly provided a matching sd.anh 1 tractor, which has folding mounting feet and is easy to retract and retract.
The 88 mm caliber anti-aircraft gun is mounted on a 4-wheeled gun carriage and is towed by an sd.anh 1 tractor when moving. During combat, a jack is used to lift the gun carriage up and become a shooting platform that can rotate 360 degrees, with excellent performance.
The switch from transportation state to combat state can be completed in a short time, which is of great significance for actual combat. Once rushed to the battlefield, it can be unloaded from the artillery truck and fired in a short time. Therefore, the 88mm anti-aircraft gun can be quickly deployed and
Evacuate the position.
The Battle of the Great Wall will officially begin in more than two months. The Yuguan War of Resistance in the past few days is just the trigger. The frustrated Kwantung Army has assembled a large amount of military power and firepower and is already gearing up and ready to move.
We must form combat effectiveness within two months and beat Japan hard again!
Immediately, Feng Quan convened the third Standing Committee meeting of the Zhongtiao Mountain Base. Cannon leader Wang Dalong, Shuixiang Shennan, Liangtai Zhuwen, military chief instructor Zhang Lingfu, martial arts chief instructor Huo Diange, each thousand commanders, and An Dexin who had just joined the team, etc.
As a member of the Standing Committee, the Deputy Chief of Staff was not absent.
"Everyone, I estimate that the Japanese Kwantung Army will stop for another two months and will definitely launch another attack along the Great Wall of China. As Chinese people, we must once again contribute to the cause. Little Japan is so powerful this time, at least there will be
Four divisions, planes, heavy artillery and horses also came a lot."
After hearing what the boss said, the friends were all shocked. Damn it! Little Japan is so cruel, damn, the soldiers are coming to block the water and the earth is covering them up. If Little Japan comes, I will kill one, and two will kill a pair!
Seeing his friends gearing up, like a tiger about to come out of its cage, Feng Quan was very satisfied and continued.
"This time I plan to make good use of our 88mm anti-aircraft gun and use it as a fixed fort. It is a bit overkill and overused. Last time I sent people to buy guns from Germany, I also bought some tractors. We need to make full use of the towing
The maneuverability advantage of the car will be used in the next battle.
For this reason, I decided to set up an assault detachment, a total of ten teams, each team has 12 people, each team has an 88mm anti-aircraft gun. It includes: 1 vehicle commander, 1 gunner commander, and 1 driver.
There are 2 pitchers for gun body pitching and turning, 1 loader and 2 fuze setters, and 4 ammunition transporters.
Each anti-aircraft artillery unit operates as an assault detachment and is under my direct jurisdiction. After you go back, you should seize the time to select talents. You can use self-recommendation and recommendation. In a word, the speed must be fast and strive to form combat effectiveness within one month!"
The 88mm anti-aircraft gun is no longer used as a fixed fort. It is moved back and forth by a tractor. Why is it a bit mechanized?
There are still two months left before the Battle of the Great Wall. We can't just sit idle. How can we pinch Japan again?
