After Yang Zhen's words, Chen Hanzhang, who was very excited by Yang Zhen's name of flying general, stood up suddenly and said: "No. 1, please rest assured and the head of the headquarters, I will definitely hand it over to you and the head of the headquarters.
The chief's satisfactory answer will definitely not disappoint you. Although I dare not say that it is better than the champion of Huo and Fenglangjuxu, I will never let the ancients be more beautiful than the previous ones. +”
In response to Chen Hanzhang's guarantee, Yang Zhen waved his hands and said: "I have always believed that you, Chen Hanzhang, have the ability to do this. But again, it's better to do it again than to say a thousand words. I don't want it from you.
Promise, what I want is your actual actions."
"Remember, you are the first real commander of the armored forces in Chinese history, and you control, at least for now, the largest tank group in Asia. Can China's armored forces truly develop and form a strategy that meets our own development conditions?
, tactics, and corresponding military doctrines, my hope is pinned on you."
"Old Chen, it's not easy to be the founder. But you don't need to beat the drum with a heavy hammer. Whether you, Chen Hanzhang, can be a good founder, I believe I will not be wrong. Can your armored forces become the Chinese Great Wall of Steel?
, whether you, the Flying General of Dragon City, can no longer send Huma to the Yinshan Mountains, depends on how you do it yourself."
When it was time to explain and encourage, Yang Zhen stopped talking. Because he knew clearly that Chen Hanzhang would come up with an answer that satisfied him. He didn't need to say too much about Chen Hanzhang.
I have given him a stage to display his talents, and he will sing this play well.
As the countdown to that day had begun, Yang Zhen did not stay too long at the armored training base. He and Chen Hanzhang discussed the deficiencies in armored training and the equipment and use of British aid equipment.
After forming the tank unit and putting forward strict requirements, Yang Zhen rushed to several other comprehensive training bases non-stop to check combat readiness.
Before leaving, Yang Zhen, who was a little worried, made a special trip to the station of the Second Armored Division to carefully check the formation of the division. In particular, the Second Division used the German tanks handed over by the British.
Yang Zhen looked at things very carefully when he was familiar with and mastered the performance of German-made tanks.
It was not until he saw with his own eyes that the Second Armored Division had received and started training with German-made tanks that Yang Zhen left with peace of mind. Although the time when the real German-made equipment will be in place is still unknown. But for the same kind of equipment, it is not necessary to wait for others.
For Yang Zhen, who is willing to equip others, taking precautions is a must.
Even the Second Armored Division currently does not have a single German-made tank except for the dozen or so German-made tanks that it has specifically designated for training and requires all tank crews to be proficient in. But Yang Zhen still issued such an order.
An order that confused everyone. In order to check the implementation, he was even willing to delay his trip for half a day and come to the Second Armored Division to inspect it in person.
Although many people didn't understand what Yang Zhen did, he, the number one in the army, took him so seriously that no one dared to play any tricks. Although Yang Zhen only stayed at the Second Armored Division's station for less than half a day,
But the results of his personal trip were immediate.
Coupled with the fact that the Anti-Japanese League itself had to implement the iron disciplinary requirements even if they did not understand, the Second Armored Division did not disappoint Yang Zhen in the end. Although the German tanks handed over by the Soviets were a little late, they were still
The combat effectiveness was fully formed before the war. The speed at which the division formed combat effectiveness after the equipment arrived did not allow Yang Zhen to waste half a day in vain.
In fact, he knew that he shouldn't leave the headquarters for too long now, but the situation was pressing. This time the army had almost undergone a major adjustment. It would be difficult for him to feel relieved without detailed inspection. Especially the adjustment of the artillery and armored forces, which directly
It is related to whether the next stage of the battle can start smoothly.
It was precisely because of his attention that Yang Zhen kept running between the artillery and armored forces, which were currently undergoing major equipment changes and expansions. After leaving the armored forces, Yang Zhen did not return to the headquarters, but went directly to the artillery unit to inspect. At key positions, he must
You have to see it with your own eyes to truly feel at ease.
All the Soviet-made artillery has been received, and the troops are using the few artillery shells handed over by the Soviet army to get familiar with the two types of artillery. But whether the progress can meet the needs is still unknown at the moment. Yang Zhen is not the kind of person who only
People who listen to reports in the office are more willing to see it with their own eyes.
In particular, some of the Soviet-made artillery originally equipped by the troops were quite unpopular and even disliked by many cadres. He had to see it with his own eyes before he could rest assured. This is what the Chinese are like. If the superior leaders pay attention to it,
It will definitely speed up the process. If you don't pay attention to it, the progress will definitely be much slower.
In fact, Yang Zhen also knows that no matter how good their performance is, these Soviet-made artillery that the troops hate are much better than nothing. The troops hate this batch of Soviet-made artillery. Apart from the many inherent shortcomings of these guys, their performance is actually better than nothing.
In addition to the reasons for installing Japanese artillery and the miscellaneous artillery that I bought, the troops' mouths were really tricked by me.
Although the number of anti-Union artillery was originally large, the overall number of Soviet-made artillery was not large. Except for the part where Wang Guangyu took advantage of Outer Mongolia, the rest only captured the Outer Mongolian army on the Hailar front line, and the Soviet Union after that war
part of the people exported to the Anti-Japanese Alliance at a low price.
Among them, a regiment directly under the artillery was organized with twenty-four ml 20-type 152 howitzers. It was also the longest-range and most powerful howitzer among all the artillery of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. However, because the original shells were not used in the first stage of the battle
Among them, all have been consumed. In addition, the number is too small, and there are only these twenty-four in the entire army. At present, the Anti-Japanese Alliance does not have the production capacity.
The caliber is relatively special. The 152 mm is only used by the Soviet Union in the world, and the shells cannot be used with other artillery. Moreover, this artillery is too bulky for the Anti-Japanese Alliance and China's traffic environment. Therefore, the Anti-Japanese Alliance and the
No artillery shells were produced specifically for it, but all were transferred to reserve use after the war.
However, Yang Zhen has promised the Soviets that if the Soviets can hand over some of the German 150 howitzers they captured to the Anti-Japanese Alliance, these 24 Soviet-made ML20-type 152 howitzers, the Anti-Japanese Alliance will all return them to Zhao intact.
For the Soviet Union. Before the Soviet military production capacity is restored, supplement the shortage of large-caliber howitzers due to the previous rout of the Soviet army.
As for the 122 howitzers, plus the twelve A-19 type howitzers that Wang Guangyu procured from the Soviet army warehouse in Outer Mongolia, the total number is quite a lot, more than sixty. But the original shells
, there is also very little left that has been consumed in the first stage.
Fortunately, these sixty 122 howitzers have the same ammunition as the M30 howitzers transferred by the Soviets this time. This problem can be said to have been solved now. However, this batch of 122 howitzers, which were the Soviet Army's standard at the time,
He was very unpopular within the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
Except for twelve of the 122mm howitzers purchased by the Anti-Japanese Alliance from the Soviet Union, which are A-19122 plus howitzers with excellent performance, the rest are old-fashioned 1910/30
Type 122 howitzer. Both in terms of range and performance, it is far inferior to the new M30 howitzer.
The maximum range is only more than 7,000 meters, which is not even as good as the Polish second-hand 100-mm grenade originally used by the Anti-Japanese War. Compared with the Japanese 91-type 105-mm grenade, the gap is quite large, but the weight is much heavier.
Even when facing the Japanese Type 38 field artillery, they had almost no power to fight back.
Compared with the A-19 plus howitzers, which were so majestic on the Linxi battlefield and suppressed the artillery of the 23rd Division with their large range, with almost no room to fight back. This batch of Soviet standard 122mm howitzers, in
However, they were quite unpopular among the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and many cadres even got headaches when they mentioned these Soviet-made howitzers.
However, the Anti-Japanese Alliance lacked the number of medium-caliber artillery before the previous stage of the battle. Although it was not popular, the power of Haolai artillery shells was relatively high. At least it was much more powerful than the Japanese 75mm mountain artillery shells. And it was also
It should exceed the main medium-caliber artillery currently used by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the 100-mm grenade made in Poland.
Besides, something is better than nothing. But Yang Zhen would not dare to put these artillery pieces on the battlefield and use them directly as the main suppression artillery. The range is too short, and Soviet-made artillery is always heavy and has very low maneuverability.
With poor tradition, using it as the main suppressive artillery is asking for trouble.
After careful consideration, these forty-eight artillery pieces could only be incorporated into each division. They were equipped with four divisions and used as howitzer battalions among the divisional artillery. However, during the battle, this artillery was lost due to performance and range.
Not light. By the end of the battle, only twenty-seven of the forty-eight cannons were left.
The Anti-Japanese Army is not a Soviet army with a comprehensive artillery system and a complete range of light and heavy artillery. This old-fashioned howitzer is only used to suppress Japanese infantry groups. In the battle against Japanese artillery, it mainly relies on the A-19 plus howitzer, which has much better performance.
With the 152 howitzer. This kind of 122 howitzer will become the main artillery once it is incorporated into the combat force. When the range is not as good as that of humans, the losses will be huge.
Compared with this medium-caliber howitzer, the main force of the Soviet army, which is not very popular, the Soviet-made 76mm field guns previously received were obtained from the Soviet army, plus a large number of them were captured from the Outer Mongolian army, but
It’s not that much. But compared to the Soviet-made 122 howitzers, it is even less popular among the troops.
These field guns are either too bulky, have been overused, or are old-fashioned models that have no use value. Among them, the dozens of Soviet-made old-fashioned mountain field guns captured from the Outer Mongolian Army were too short in range and too heavy.
The accuracy is also very poor. The most important thing is that the power of long-range shots is extremely small, making it almost impossible to make any corrections.
Used for fire support, they can only be used reluctantly. These old-fashioned field guns of the Mongolian army were directly transferred to reserves by the Anti-Japanese Alliance after they were captured, and none of them were distributed to the frontline troops. Even though many new divisions lacked division personnel
Artillery, but it has not been issued to front-line combat troops.
Just like the Japanese would not give the best equipment to the puppet army, the equipment the Soviets gave to the Outer Mongolian Army, except for the reserve of infantry weapons, were all old-fashioned second-rate equipment. The Soviet army had completely replaced them.
In addition to the F-22 field gun, the Outer Mongolian Army is also equipped with the old-fashioned F-10 type with average performance. And even the F-10 type is not many, and there are even older Type 02 field guns used during the Soviet Civil War.
.
This batch of mountain and field artillery was basically produced in the 1920s, or even earlier. In addition, the Outer Mongolian army's technical capabilities are very poor, and they are generally poorly maintained. If they are to be used again, they will need to make great efforts to repair them. Although this batch of artillery was captured,
But it has basically no use value. Not to mention occupying the establishment, it will also waste the already valuable artillery talents of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
In the end, they negotiated with the Soviet Union and simply used these old-fashioned mountain field guns that had basically reached the end of their service life to exchange a batch of urgently needed 45mm artillery shells with the Soviets. This batch of old guns equipped by the Soviet army to the Mongolian army were used by Yang
Zhen changed hands and handed it back to the Soviets.
