The last one can be regarded as an ancient weapon. The system produced something similar in nature to the Zhuge Liannu, but in appearance like a large pistol. Wu Aihua named it Type 39 Liannu. The reason why
It is called a repeating crossbow, not a pistol, because it does not fire bullets but crossbow arrows. The crossbow is 23cm long, with 6 steel crossbow arrows built in. The crossbow arrows are 11cm long, with a maximum range of 80m, an effective killing range of 50m, and shooting at a distance of 30m.
The accuracy is the best, you can hit almost anywhere! When shooting, you can shoot continuously or single-shot.
The reason why Wu Aihua chose a cold weapon as the standard weapon was to prepare it for the Lightning Special Forces, the Swordfish Commando and the scouts of various forces. Although the Lightning Special Forces also have an equipment corps, the National Defense Forces now include special operations including reconnaissance troops.
With more personnel, there will be more special operations missions in the future, and the equipment corps may not be too busy.
In fact, for the equipment team of the Lightning Special Forces, the main tasks Wu Aihua gave them were to develop new equipment, to modify existing equipment to make it suitable for special operations, and to personalize the equipment according to the requirements of the Lightning Special Forces soldiers.
Develop and produce some equipment locally.
Equipment like the 39-type repeating crossbow can also be made and produced by the equipment corps, but with a small manpower and slow production, it is impossible to meet the needs of the entire army. At this time, since the system has such special equipment that can be industrially produced, Wu Aihua naturally wants to
It has been industrialized.
…
Germany suddenly attacked Poland and destroyed Poland within three weeks, which shocked everyone in Japan! In the eyes of the Japanese, there are two powerful armies in the world, one is the German Army, and the other is Japan
Imperial Army. There are three major navies in the world, namely Japan, Britain and the United States.
Therefore, combining the strength of the army and navy, Germany may not be stronger than Japan.
However, Germany quickly took possession of most of the Polish territory through war, which made the decision-makers in the Japanese base camp both excited and depressed. What was exciting was that Germany, a friend, finally launched and succeeded, and Britain, France and other countries did not take any risks;
What is depressing is that Japan's military operations in China suffered serious setbacks.
Why did Germany succeed? Japan integrated all aspects of intelligence and finally came to the conclusion that Germany's lightning tactics and armored clusters brought victory to Hitler's head of state.
The reason for Japan's failure was that it was unable to quickly resolve the war in China, which turned the war into a protracted war. Even those who first proposed "destroying China in three months" did not have a tactical plan for a quick decisive battle.
So, is there a tactic that can "annihilate China within three months"? It has to be said that Japan was very good at summing up experience afterwards. They believe that it is impossible to defeat China in three months at any time and under any conditions.
Tomonai solved the war in China. Because Ishihara Wanji said: Regardless of the problem of Chinese resistance, even if the Japanese army advances towards China at marching speed, it will not be possible to occupy China in three months.
After fully absorbing the successful experience of Germany, the Japanese base camp believes that in the coming war, blitzkrieg is a necessary tactical means, and motorcycles and armor are the equipment direction of the future army.
After comprehensively considering various factors, Japan finally established two top-secret strategic plans of "going south" or "going north", just like history. Due to the fierce debate between the "southern faction" and the "northward faction", Emperor Hirohito
came out to uphold justice: "Both plans are alternatives. The plan to go south will be implemented by the Navy Department, with the assistance of the Army Department; the plan to go north will be implemented by the Army Department, with the assistance of the Navy Department. As for which plan will be implemented in the end, we still have to wait.
, we have to wait for changes in the international situation."
"Protect the wise!" The Japanese base camp achieved unprecedented consensus.
However, just as Germany's actions in Europe are subject to Britain and France, Japan's actions in Asia are subject to China. In the past, Japan did not need to consider China's factors when it wanted to use troops; but now, Japan has to consider it because
The Chinese National Defense Force can defeat the Japanese Army because Japan and China still have major unresolved issues. If Japan is using troops against other countries and China suddenly attacks Japan, Japan is likely to be "attacked on both sides."
At the same time, the main purpose of Japan's invasion of China in history was to obtain resources and manpower, so Japan in parallel time and space wants to obtain China's military technology and equipment.
Therefore, after Japan roughly determined its world strategy, it quickly sent a delegation to China, hoping to obtain more equipment and resources from China. Of course, it also strived to obtain Chinese technology, especially the manufacturing technology of tanks and combat vehicles.
This time the Japanese delegation is visiting because World War II has broken out and the world situation has changed a lot. Therefore, Wu Aihua ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to appropriately increase the export of military products to Japan, but the price must be higher than a few months ago.
The delivery method also adopts the principle of installment delivery, light in the front and heavy in the back, less in the front and more in the back.
But this time the Japanese very "sincerely" hope to obtain China's military technology, especially the T-24 tank combat vehicle technology.
"Damn it, the Japanese are so incompetent!" Wu Aihua sneered after hearing the Japanese's thoughts. The T-24, as a medium-sized tank with good performance, would be the most advanced during the entire World War II.
How can I sell technology to you as one of our tanks? As for products, it’s not necessarily impossible to sell them appropriately.
Moreover, in Wu Aihua's general plan, the troops of the three fronts, namely the Capital Front Army, the Southern Front Army, and the Southwest Front Army, mainly operate in places such as the south or islands. Heavy tanks are not needed at all, and the T-12 and T-12
-24 These two types of tanks will be the main force of the three front armies. If the manufacturing technology is sold to Japan and the two armies meet on the island, wouldn't they be shooting themselves in the foot?
There is a certain difference between selling products and selling technology. Although the Japanese can imitate, the imitation is imitation after all, and may not be as good as the original technology. From buying the product to successfully imitating, from successfully imitating to manufacturing a complete version of t
-12 or T-24, during this period, it will take at least a long time. For example, when Germany obtained the Soviet T-34 tank from the Eastern Front, it was not an imitation, but just developed a tank that could restrain the T-34 tank.
It only took half a year to build the new tank.
In addition, before 1938, the T-series Type III tanks and combat vehicles of the National Defense Force were naturally produced according to the models produced by the system; but when Wu Aihua took over, especially after the system fully opened up to the technology of the 1980s, if Wu Aihua still only followed the original
When it comes to prototype or module production, Wu Aihua is an idiot.
Although the name is still the same, the performance of the T-series III tank combat vehicle has been greatly improved. For example, the use of new armor steel has improved the defense index. For example, the body is shorter and lower, which is beneficial to defense, such as the compound eye observation system.
, you can have a panoramic view of the battlefield; for example, a more advanced aiming system, a more advanced ammunition supply system, etc.
The tanks sold to Japan must be the most basic models. After Japan has thoroughly understood these most basic things, China's tanks and combat vehicles have already taken several big steps forward.
In addition, just because China does not export to Japan does not mean that Japan cannot obtain new tanks. In fact, if Japan wants, it can import tanks and tanks from all countries in the world.
"China is still unwilling to sell T-36 tanks and T-24 tanks technology to us?" Emperor Hirohito asked reluctantly after learning the results of the negotiations.
"Yes, my dear, the Chinese are still on guard against us," Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro said.
"This is normal. After all, our war with China has just ended, and we still occupy their Northeast. If China transfers these equipment and technologies to us without reservation, Japan really needs to re-examine Sino-Japanese relations.
." Hirohito said.
"Oh, Hoshi, why do you say that?" At this time, Konoe Fumimaro pretended to be a student.
"If China hands these things over to us without reservation, it means they may have better equipment and technology. In that case, do you think the plan we formulated can still be like that?"
"Your Majesty Hideaki. Your Majesty believes that we should send delegations to China frequently to discuss issues related to equipment and technology trade." Konoe Fumimaro followed Hirohito's wishes and said.
In Japan in 1939, domestic economic construction was developing at an almost crazy speed; it fought a local war with the Soviet Union in Nomonhan, gaining a slight advantage and revitalizing the national spirit; its European ally Germany acquired Poland, making Japan more
A deep understanding of the world situation and its own shortcomings, coupled with the armistice with China the previous year, made Japan more economically prosperous, militarily stronger, and strategically more rational than at the same time in history.
By the end of 1939, the Japanese Army still maintained the size and organization of 15 corps and 76 divisions. At the same time, it learned from the Chinese National Defense Force and strengthened the configuration of troops directly under the army and divisions; however, Japan established 5 additional battle corps.
Among them, 2 were formed in the Northeast and were affiliated with the Japanese Kwantung Army; 1 was formed in North Korea and were affiliated with the Japanese Korean Army; 2 were formed in the mainland and were affiliated with the local corps.
In order not to stimulate China, or to keep a low profile, Japan has reorganized several major military groups. In addition to retaining the name Japan's Kwantung Army, Japan has established the Northern Army Group (equivalent to the National Defense Forces) based on the original North China Front Army and East China Front Army.
Front Army), the Southern Group Army was formed based on the original South China Front Army.
In terms of combat equipment at the army company and platoon level, Japan has reluctantly increased the number of automatic firepower equipment. The captain and deputy squad leader (sergeant) of each squad are equipped with the Type 100 submachine gun produced by Japan. However, this gun is a
It is a replica of the MP18 submachine gun at the end of the war. This also shows the backwardness of Japan's equipment thinking.
