Chapter 110 Qin Chuan’s frustration

Director Chen suddenly remembered something and asked Qin Chuan.

"Captain Qin, when it comes to rifles, I remember one thing. I saw in your report that you suggested that the German weapons division be equipped with German 88mm anti-aircraft guns. What does this mean? Although field air defense of the troops is very important, anti-aircraft guns

That thing has no effect at all if there is less air defense. It must be used in groups. If there is less, it is useless. If there is more, we will equip the equipment department. Our division will not be equipped with another anti-aircraft artillery battalion, right?"

Director Chen visibly sighed, "Although our air force is still very weak compared to the Japanese, it can be equipped with anti-aircraft artillery at the division level... Although our so-called German weapons division weapons and equipment are all

It was obtained from the Germans through barter trade, but the Germans only want our tungsten sand, antimony, tin, tea and tung oil. These are good things for us to earn foreign exchange, and they are also money."

Director Chen shook his head with a wry smile, and continued, "General von Seeckt, the head of the German advisory group, has a very practical view. He believes that we should first establish a well-equipped and well-trained force with limited financial and material resources.

We will form a small core elite force, and then form 60 German weapon divisions in batches. He believes that with these 60 German weapon divisions, we will be enough to deal with anything, including a war with others on the same day."

"But, even so, we have already formed the 3rd, 6th, 9th, 14th, 36th, 87th, 88th divisions and teaching corps. These so-called German weapon divisions,

In fact, what we call it internally is a organizer, which just means using moral weapons.

Already, it cannot be compared with the German division-level troops. The biggest difference is the artillery. If our German artillery divisions want to fully match the German artillery equipment, each artillery division will need to add two types of heavy artillery: 150mm and 105mm.

Twelve doors, and that doesn’t even count armored vehicles.”

Director Chen said with some regret, "So, it is meaningless for our troops to equip our troops with anti-aircraft guns, or it is useless."

Regarding the 88mm anti-aircraft artillery mentioned by Director Chen, Qin Chuan had already prepared for it. He nodded to Director Chen and said, "Director Chen is right. It is indeed impossible for our national army division-level units to equip anti-aircraft artillery battalions."

Qin Chuan then changed the topic, "However, the purchase of German-made 88mm anti-aircraft guns I mentioned is not just for air defense. In my opinion, the troops attacking the Japanese Marine Corps in Shanghai in the future will need to be equipped with some such anti-aircraft guns, because

To attack the Japanese Marine Corps, we have to fight in the concession, so

It was so-called street fighting, including the Japanese Marine Corps headquarters building and the bunkers they built, as well as many civilian buildings, all made of reinforced concrete. If you want to attack these strongholds occupied by the Japanese army, there is no powerful direct fire.

Weapons will not do."

Regarding this German-made large-caliber anti-aircraft gun, the Kuomintang actually imported several anti-aircraft artillery regiments from Germany, but these anti-aircraft artillery regiments were used for air defense in fortresses, airports and Jinling and other important places.

"Anti-aircraft guns hit bunkers and buildings?" Qin Chuan's statement surprised everyone present.

Minister Song asked doubtfully, "Do we have combat artillery to build bunkers and reinforced concrete buildings?"

Director Chen shook his head and said, "The 37mm combat anti-cannon currently equipped is not only not very good at penetrating armor, but its accuracy is also extremely poor. It cannot exceed 200 meters. And the most important thing is that this kind of

For combat defense artillery, when the second round is fired, someone needs to be in front of the artillery to reload it. It is almost impossible to fire it twice on the battlefield. As for its armor-piercing ability, it is also very average. The theoretical data is very good, but the actual effect is not

It’s much different, use it in tough situations..."

"I think this method is feasible!" Director Yu suddenly said.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Director Yu said, "When we purchased the German-made 88mm anti-aircraft gun, I had studied this type of anti-aircraft gun. Not only did this type of anti-aircraft gun have a large caliber, but its muzzle velocity was as high as 900 to 1,000 meters.

, much higher than the muzzle velocity of ordinary artillery

, due to its high muzzle velocity, based on my experience, if you use it to hit reinforced concrete buildings, even the strongest buildings can be completely penetrated. If you use armor-piercing bullets to hit the building, it will be as easy as puncturing the window paper."

With the endorsement of Director Yu, a military industry expert, no one would doubt it anymore. Qin Chuan did not expect that just because of his report, the Kuomintang would equip the troops with this 88mm anti-aircraft gun. He just wanted to arouse their

Pay attention to the threat of street fighting. Qin Chuan remembered that during the Battle of Songhu,

The Japanese Marine Corps in the concession only had about 10,000 men at the time, and they were gradually reinforced. However, these people were able to hold off the German armorers' onslaught for more than 20 days. This was because the German armorers had no street fighting training.

It has a lot to do with powerful weapons for attacking difficulties.

Qin Chuan took out a stack of writing paper from the pocket of his military uniform, stood up and walked over to hand it to Director Chen, "Director Chen, these are some of my views on street fighting offensive and defensive. Once the war starts, our troops attacking the Japanese troops in the concession may be threatened.

It has some effect."

This information is the street fighting offensive and defensive tactics copied by Qin Chuan through the system.

Director Chen nodded, flipped through a few pages, and handed Qin Chuan's manuscript to Major General Guo, "You, a researcher from the Mainland University, take a look first."

Director Chen's attitude was obviously unaware of the cruelty of street fighting. Qin Chuan sighed secretly in his heart. This is no wonder Director Chen. Although these generals in the country have experienced more than ten years of fighting, as long as the troops attack the city, almost none of them can

Encountered brutal and determined street fighting resistance.

However, Qin Chuan still wanted to make more efforts regarding army weapons. Returning to his seat, Qin Chuan took a sip of beer and tried his best to cheer up, "Director Chen, Director Yu, I have another suggestion regarding army equipment. Since we

Unable to purchase large-caliber heavy

For artillery, we might as well purchase more mortars, or even produce more mortars in our own arsenal. If we fight the Japanese army and long-range weapons cannot match the opponent, we can use mortars to provide us with sufficient weapons in close combat.

Firepower."

Qin Chuan remembered that he had read a piece of information in his previous life. During the entire World War II, 50% of the casualties were caused by mortars.

Regarding Qin Chuan's suggestion, Director Chen just nodded and promised to consider it seriously.

Regarding Director Chen's attitude, Qin Chuan felt very powerless. This did not mean that Director Chen did not have a military strategic vision, but that they were too affected by the domestic civil war and had almost no communication with the modern Western army.

Just when Qin Chuan was feeling a little frustrated, Navy Commander Chen said with a smile, "Captain Qin, do you have any other suggestions for our navy?"

Qin Chuan has a lot of ideas about the navy, but it also makes him feel very troubled. Commander Chen has always advocated navalism and even wants to build and purchase large warships including aircraft carriers. With his hard work, now

Although the Navy does not yet have an aircraft carrier, it now has more than 30 naval ships. Even this year, the Chairman approved the cost of the Navy ordering a batch of warships from Germany. The specific details are probably still being negotiated with the Germans.

At this time, even if the navy purchases more warships, it will not help. Not only does it take a long time for the new ships to form combat effectiveness, but even if they are finally formed into an army, they are still far behind the Japanese navy. The other party even completely crushed the Kuomintang navy.

Of the more than 30 existing warships, apart from some that were scuttled in Yantai during the War of Resistance, the rest were sunk in Jiangyin and played a very limited role.

Qin Chuan believes that what the navy needs most now are small submarines and torpedo boats.

Although in order to convince Commander Chen, Qin Chuan even tried his best to conceive a new torpedo for the navy that was completely possible under the current conditions, he still felt it was difficult to give advice to Commander Chen and gritted his teeth.

Then he said it carefully after careful consideration.

"Commander Chen, I really have some ideas about the navy, but I don't know much about weapons, especially the weapons of the navy. For example, torpedoes are said to be very powerful. Sometimes a torpedo can sink a warship.
