This opening battle of World War II ended with Poland being destroyed, without any suspense.
But Wu Aihua saw from this battle that the Armored Group Army was invincible on the Polish plains. Moreover, the tonnage of the tanks of the German armored forces also made Wu Aihua feel a little nervous. The PZ3 tank equipped by the German Army alone weighed 22 tons.
The armor is 30mm thick, the speed is 40 kilometers per hour, the power is 300 horsepower, and the weapon is a 37mm cannon with a diameter of 45 times. The pz3 tank is comparable to the T-24 tank produced by Meritorious Systems. If it is worse, the German tank may be better overall.
In terms of performance, it is worse than the T-24 of the National Defense Force.
However, Wu Aihua did not dare to take it lightly.
War has always been a catalyst for new weapons. The tanks of World War II will also be rapidly improved because of this Polish battle. After this battle, the frontal armor of the German PZ3 tank will immediately become 50mm, and its artillery will be used in the Western Front war.
At that time, it was changed to a long-barreled 50mm cannon. Later, after Hitler inspected the tank troops, the tank's gun was replaced with a 60-caliber cannon. Since then, German tanks have been making rapid progress, such as Tiger and Panther.
One after another took the stage, among which the Tiger tank weighed 70 tons.
However, German tanks were not invincible. For a long time, German tanks were no match for Soviet tanks. In November 1941, the German High Command sent experts to the Eastern Front battlefield to study the Soviet tanks.
-34 tank. It was not until May 1942 that a new tank that could defeat the T-34 tank was designed and produced. This was the Panther tank.
Before World War II, the development direction of Soviet and Russian tanks was aimed at German tanks and combat vehicles. In the battles between the two sides, except for the Soviets who suffered some losses when the Tiger tanks first appeared, Soviet and Russian tanks were basically in the lead.
Regarding the situation of German tanks, such as the improved t-34/85 of the Soviet t-34, and later new tanks such as t-35, kv1, js1, js2. Among them, the j22 heavy tank has a gun caliber of 122mm, which is very popular on the battlefield.
The scenery at that time was unparalleled.
However, the strength of Soviet Russia is much more than that. Following closely behind are the JS3 tanks, Su-76 self-propelled guns, Su-85 tank destroyers, Su-100 tank destroyers, Su-122 self-propelled guns, and Su-152 self-propelled guns.
Artillery, jsu-122 tank destroyer...
In addition, the arms production capabilities of the United Kingdom, France, Japan, and especially the United States are beyond the reach of China. So, what should China do in the face of the outbreak of World War II?
At present, the T-36 heavy tank of the National Defense Force has a 45-caliber 88mm cannon, a weight of 36 tons, and a speed of 46 kilometers. It is slightly stronger than the Soviet Union's T34 or T34/85, but it cannot compete with the Tiger tank.
Compared with the weight of the Panther tank, it is 9 tons lighter.
Regardless of design and production technology, the heavier the tank, the thicker the armor and the stronger the protection capability. Therefore, if the Chinese National Defense Force wants to remain invincible in World War II, it must develop more powerful firepower and more armor.
Thick heavy tank.
The current merit system has all the tanks produced before the 1980s, including China's Type 79 tanks, Soviet Russia's T72, and T64. If it is just to equip the troops, Wu Aihua is not too worried. Wu Aihua is mainly thinking about actual production and systems.
The problem of "matching" products. That is to say, as long as the system products are equipped with military equipment, they should have corresponding production capabilities in reality. In this way, reality and the system can be "complementary", allowing the country's military product output to rise linearly.
, thereby making up for the lack of national strength.
If the Type 79 tank is exchanged in the system, there will be no opponent in World War II. However, the Type 79 tank has many technologies from later generations. If the Type 79 tank goes on the battlefield, there is no doubt that these technologies will be leaked. Considering the technical level of the Western powers,
With the production capacity, a new tank can be produced in less than half a year.
Don’t think that this choice is easy, or that it’s enough to choose the best tank? This is completely wishful thinking! If there is only one battle, Wu Aihua does not have to choose at all, in exchange for a few of the most advanced nuclear warheads
It exploded.
This kind of choice is mainly a cost-effective choice. In other words, it is cheap and good. For example, Wu Aihua exchanged a 58mm triple self-propelled anti-aircraft gun on a small scale. Although it is not expensive in terms of merit value, it is difficult to produce it in reality.
It is horribly expensive. With China's current national strength, it is simply impossible to equip it on a large scale, so Wu Aihua has to go back to the old-fashioned towed anti-aircraft guns.
In addition, the previous tanks and artillery types of the National Defense Force were also insufficient. Wu Aihua must complete the variety in one to two years, such as large-caliber mortars, such as strengthening the 37mm direct-fire gun equipment of the Marine Battalion, and reducing the mountain artillery battery of the Marine Battalion.
In fact, in previous battles, the mountain artillery battery of the Marine Battalion rarely fought alone. It either fought together with the artillery of the division or was simply a decoration.
After several days of thinking, when the Polish campaign was about to end, Wu Aihua submitted a weapons production plan to the General Armament Department. This equipment plan was archived as "2001" by the General Armament Department. It later played an important role in the history of the National Defense Forces.
.Some people pointed out that this plan is a symbol of the president's military equipment thinking from spontaneous to conscious, and a sign of the transformation from high-firepower to fire-suppressive.
Wu Aihua very vulgarly called his equipment plan "seven weapons." Indeed, Wu Aihua only selected seven weapons among hundreds of weapons as replacement equipment for World War II or the early stages of World War II.
The first type, the T-48 heavy tank. It has a full weight of 48 tons, one 105mm smoothbore gun with a caliber of 45 times, a maximum range of 3200m, an effective range of 2200m, a maximum speed of 45 kilometers per hour; an engine of 800 horsepower, and a thrust ratio of 16.7 horsepower per ton.
What is particularly interesting about this tank is that its front armor has a 35-degree bevel angle, and its 100 mm of armor is equivalent to the protection capability of 180 mm of armor.
This tank is the only heavy equipment among Wu Aihua's "seven weapons".
The second item is the Type 39 semi-automatic grenade gun. This is a weapon produced by the system. Previously, in terms of National Defense Force equipment, Wu Aihua attached great importance to the role of the 60-gun. However, the 60-gun is still a kind of gun, although it can be carried by one person.
It can run, but it is by no means an individual weapon, but the grenade gun is different. It is a real individual combat weapon, and its power is more powerful than the 60-gun to a certain extent.
To understand the power of this semi-automatic grenade gun, you must have an understanding of rifle grenades. Grenade means the same thing as the "grenade" of a howitzer, except that rifle grenades are fired by a gun, not a cannon. Type 39 semi-automatic grenade
The gun is equipped with two conventional grenades, anti-personnel and armor-piercing rounds, and can also fire various special rounds under special circumstances.
The Type 39 anti-personnel grenade weighs 430 grams, has a maximum range of 600 meters, an optimal killing distance of 100-450 meters, and a grenade killing diameter of 20 meters; the Type 39 armor-piercing grenade can break 300mm of vertical armor and can penetrate 1000mm of concrete fortifications.
When Wu Aihua saw this set of numbers, he immediately chose this weapon and ordered it to be the "Type 39 semi-automatic grenade gun" because its armor-breaking capability was equivalent to the level in the 1960s after World War II. Based on this, Wu Aihua
I won't give up.
As for the weight of the Type 39 semi-automatic grenade gun itself, it is about the same as an mg42, 7.1 kilograms.
The third type is the Type 39 assault rifle. Needless to say, for this one, Wu Aihua shamelessly plagiarized the famous AK47 assault rifle (it doesn’t matter, because there is this thing in the system, Wu Aihua really has to make it himself and imitate it)
, is much more complicated).
This rifle was designed and finalized by an ordinary soldier in Soviet Russia in 1947, and later generations proved to have extraordinary quality. Until the 21st century, the world has more advanced rifles, and this assault rifle is still showing its talents in local wars.
It is said that the intensity of the armed conflict in that place can also be seen from its sales price. In relatively stable areas, the selling price of ak47 is mostly between 230-400 US dollars; and when it reaches 100 US dollars, it means that the local
A harmonious society has been built; if it sells for more than 1,000 US dollars, it indicates that the armed conflict in the region is in full swing and there is no chance of ending in the short term.
The fourth type is the Type 39 heavy sniper rifle. This heavy sniper rifle is called the APX12 type in the system. In Wu Aihua’s view, it does not belong to the heavy sniper produced by any country on earth. Its caliber is similar to that of the famous American sniper rifle in later generations.
The Barrett 82 heavy sniper is the same as the 12.7mm, but its weight is only 11 kilograms, while the Barrett is 14 kilograms (excluding ammunition and barrel). In terms of its lightness, it is as light as
Japan's Taisho 11-year-old light machine gun is similar. Is it a single-shot light machine gun? Wu Aihua thought with some evil humor.
The reason why this Type 39 heavy sniper is so popular with Takei Aihua is because it has an absolute range of 4,000 meters and a high effective range (1,600 meters for shooting people, 2,100 meters for shooting cars, etc.). If equipped with a high-power sight, it can shoot targets beyond 3,000 meters.
Fixed targets larger than the human body are all within its range.
The fifth type is the Type 39 88mm rapid-fire gun. Obviously, this is an improved version of the anti-aircraft gun, a weapon specially used to hit ground targets, especially cars, armored vehicles, tanks and other ground targets. The rapid-fire gun and the 75mm mountain gun are used in field
Compared with the cannon, the biggest feature is that it has dense firepower and can shoot directly. Its attack power on ground fortifications is even much stronger than that of the 105mm howitzer (the latter is difficult to aim and launches shells too slowly).
In World War II, the 88mm anti-aircraft gun was used in non-German camps against German tanks and achieved significant results. The German tanks were almost unable to fight back. However, the system's 88mm rapid-fire gun weighed more than the 88mm anti-aircraft gun in the same period of World War II.
Much lighter, the former is only 3.6 tons, while the latter is 5.5 tons. Its firing range is equivalent to that of an 88mm anti-aircraft gun, with a maximum range of 14,500 meters.
The sixth type is the Type 39 submachine gun. In addition to the AK47, Wu Aihua finally chose another classic weapon, which is the MP5 submachine gun. It was finalized and produced by Germany in 1966 after World War II. Wu Aihua shamelessly plagiarized this classic equipment again,
It became the standard equipment of the Wehrmacht's Southwest Army and mountain jungle troops.
