"I don't think it's okay." At this time, another engineer expressed his opinion: "Our 113 armored vehicles and Lions can't actually carry a 50-meter-long barrel. If they are replaced with a 75-meter gun, the effect will be the same, so there is no difference.
.”
The armored vehicles of the Tang Empire are not very well defended. In this case, there is really no need to worry about the power of the opponent's anti-tank guns. Because as long as a 30 mm caliber cannon is used, it is not difficult to penetrate the protection of these armored vehicles.
Then he continued: "On the other hand, our 59 tanks and Panther tanks can withstand the attack of the 75 gun at medium distances, and the same goes for the 50 gun."
"Then we give cheaper 75mm guns?" Hearing someone say this, many people think that it would be easier to just give them 75mm guns without getting any new guns.
However, the factory director had other plans and chose the 50mm gun: "Give me 50mm. Although it is a little more expensive, it seems safer... In addition, 50mm is a caliber that we have never used ourselves, so giving it to Fengjiang will not cause any problems."
unnecessary trouble."
What he wanted was to avoid negotiating with the military as much as possible and save a lot of trouble - this order ultimately depends on the military's wishes. If the military does not want to be involved in the civil war in the Great China Empire, then it will reject the 75-gun proposal.
.
Instead of being beaten back and having to re-plan the plan, it would be better to come up with a plan that has a better chance of winning and give it to the military first.
If the military disagrees, they will lose nothing if they get the mature 75mm cannon instead, and it will even be more convenient in terms of production.
The engineer in charge of production immediately nodded and said: "Okay! I will arrange the production line and start producing a few samples and matching ammunition according to our original drawings?"
The person in charge of the artillery shells confidently assured: "There is no need to worry about the ammunition, just arrange a few factories to get it done. What I am worried about is the artillery shells of other calibers."
The factory director was also very heroic at this time: "Don't worry! The most used here in Fengjiang is the 130 caliber produced by Cyric. Those are all the ones we have played with. Now there are several outdated artillery shell factories that rely on Fengjiang.
Jiang’s order is still alive.”
The arms factories of the Tang Empire were really in a state of overcapacity during peacetime. It was really happy to be able to get arms production orders from other countries.
Sometimes, they even experiment with some self-developed gadgets in a certain batch of ammunition, which makes customers very satisfied.
While this factory is preparing to produce a 50mm high-caliber anti-tank gun, other factories are also considering producing some strange weapons and equipment for Toyue.
This is also the unique advantage of the factories of the Tang Empire: apart from them, there is no other country in the world that can urgently produce a batch of new equipment to support another country.
It's just that some weapons in the Tang Empire are too closely related, so the weapons and equipment provided to Fengjiang are indeed not very useful from some perspectives.
For example, for the individual anti-tank weapons that Fengjiang is in urgent need of, the Tang Empire actually already has similar designs: anti-tank rockets such as RPGs.
However, in order to ensure the safety of his armored forces, such rockets were kept strictly confidential. What was finally able to support Toyoe were outdated anti-tank grenades and anti-tank bombs.
Yes, the so-called anti-tank bomb is actually a magical weapon with an anti-tank mine fixed on a long pole. It was put into actual combat by Japan during World War II... As for whether it is useful or not, that only depends on the daily life. Well those Army Red Deer got it.
This long anti-tank individual weapon is basically an explosive spear. Whether the soldier attacking the tank can escape completely depends on the feng shui index of his family's ancestral grave.
If there is smoke coming out of the ancestor's grave, then there is no problem with using this kind of weapon. However, if the grass is not too lush according to Feng Shui, then a cemetery is basically needed.
In addition, the Tang Empire also found some Thompson submachine guns and imitated some Bobosha submachine guns, which were urgently transported to Fengjiang and given to the Fengjiang defenders.
There is also a joke here. Thompson submachine guns are exported in large quantities and are equipped in many countries. Therefore, the Dahua Empire has no place to pursue it. It can only admit it with a pinched nose and let the matter go unresolved.
Instead, there was a problem with the imitation of the Ice Empire's Bobosha submachine guns: the Tang Empire's craftsmanship was so good that the quality of these pirated submachine guns completely surpassed similar products produced by the dwarves.
For a time, the Bobosha submachine gun, which was originally criticized by everyone, immediately became famous, and the Toyie version of the submachine gun even became a hot commodity for a time.
In fact, everyone knows where Fengjiang's Bobosha submachine gun came from, but the Dahua Empire was unwilling to pursue this matter, and there was no result in the end.
Although the Tang Empire provided many weapons and equipment to Fengjiang, in fact, the heavy weapons and equipment that Fengjiang defenders lacked the most have never been replenished.
For example, Fengjiang lacked tanks, and the Tang Empire did not have suitable tanks to provide to the Fengjiang defenders in a short period of time. It could only temporarily provide hundreds of civilian trucks to the Fengjiang defenders, which somewhat enhanced the Fengjiang defenders' material transportation capabilities.
However, the second line of defense on the west side of Fengjiang was unexpectedly held: it only took the Dahua Empire one day to seize the first line of defense of Fengjiang defenders, but they fought for three consecutive days, but were unable to shake the second line of defense of Fengjiang defenders. Line of defense.
This was due to the strong fortifications, the desperate efforts of the Fengjiang defenders, and the lack of follow-up of the Dahua Empire's offensive troops.
Because they were not well prepared for the attack, after several days of ferocious attacks, the Dahua Empire's offensive troops weakened.
They tried to quickly penetrate the defense line of Fengjiang defenders, but found that the second line of defense was simply not as strong as the first line of defense.
Originally, this area was a permanent defense fortification to block the Tang army's attack, but it was facing the Tang Empire to the east.
But what makes people laugh or cry is that the person who strongly advocated the construction of this defense line in the Great China Empire's court was Shen Chuan. He was a knowledgeable person who had truly studied the tactics of the Great Tang Empire.
He found that the Tang Empire's attacks basically followed the tactics of "armored troops breaking through, outflanking and encircling quickly, disrupting the defenders' positions and then annihilating them".
In order to counter this tactic, Shen Chuan assumed that the Tang army would suddenly attack and capture Fengjiang, and then launch an attack on the Hezhe area, thus digging a deep hole for the Tang Empire.
He built a permanent defense line between Hezhe and Fengjiang. This defense line was composed of many circular fortifications.
In order to resist the outflanking of the Tang army, Shenchuan's defense line adopted a large number of circular fortifications, with communication trenches connecting them.
Such fortifications were transformed by the Fengjiang defenders, and in turn were used to deal with the Dahua army. Their strength was far beyond imagination.
First of all, the quality of this defense line is quite high. After all, it was prepared for the Tang Dynasty army. It will definitely not be good if it is inferior. It has even been strengthened in some places, and its defensive power is amazing.
Secondly, most of the positions on this defense line are circular and layered, regardless of front or rear, so it is indeed difficult for the Dahua troops to attack.
Finally, this defense line was strengthened by the military advisors of the Tang Empire. Many artillery pieces were added, and the strength was greatly improved.
Because of the above reasons, the offensive troops of the Great China Empire were blocked on this line of defense and were unable to advance even an inch for a while.
What made Zhao Chen even more anxious was that in the direction of Shanping on the flank, Fengjiang Army finally completed its assembly and launched a fierce attack on Shanping.
The battle was extremely fierce from the beginning. Under the command of the Tang advisory group, the Fengjiang Army tore apart the Dahua Army's defense line with an exaggerated attack.
Then the armored troops of the Fengjiang Army marched straight in, and they really showed a bit of the Tang Army's style. In the panic, the Dahua Army even lost the second line of defense, and the situation suddenly became passive.
At this time, the two armored divisions of the Dahua Army that set out from Guiguang have not yet arrived at Shanping. If the Fengjiang Army captures Shanping in advance, Dahua will be in a passive position.
But just when the situation was looking good, the Fengjiang Army began to pull its hips again - after they penetrated two lines of defense of the Dahua Army from the Shanping direction, they were actually stopped by a third line of defense.
For two days of continuous attacks, the Fengjiang Army failed to penetrate the third line of defense. The Dahua defenders held on until their reinforcements arrived, and the two sides once again fell into a stalemate.
Luo Xiao, who planned the Shanping Offensive, almost went crazy in the headquarters, and his advisory team also couldn't laugh or cry one by one.
They expected that the Fengjiang defenders would not be able to hold up the wall, but they did not expect that the armies of other countries besides the Tang army could be so bad.
Originally they didn't believe that there were people who couldn't walk in unison, but now they believed it. Not only did they believe it, but they also discovered that there were quite a few such people.
These armies have no faith and no strict training. They start to fail when encountering the slightest obstacles. Their offense is not sharp, and their defense is full of loopholes.
At this moment, they truly understood what novices pecking each other meant. They finally understood why two women tearing their hair off on the street could be watched with gusto.
Because after all, not everyone can go on stage to compete in boxing, wrestling, judo, and sparring. Sometimes tearing the opponent's hair and scratching the opponent's face may be the most pleasing scene they can create.
"No, can't they complete the planned mission according to the pre-planned plan?" Luo Xiao said to himself in despair as he looked at the troops heading south to Fengjiang who were forced to stop halfway.
"It seems impossible." The question that he had not expected to be answered was answered, and a staff officer received Luo Xiao's words with the same despair.
"Find a way to make them continue the attack! If they just stop halfway, we will have no hope at all!" Luo Xiao took a breath and shouted loudly.
