And it is worth mentioning that the speedboats manufactured after the second half of 1940 are basically hydrofoil boats that are extremely fast and have better seaworthiness. In terms of sailing performance alone, they are called the best in the world.
Speedboats are not an exaggeration, and the Chinese military industry, which never knows how to be satisfied, has never stopped improving.
Due to limited free shipyards and the ongoing Southwest War, which occupies a large amount of the military budget, only one ship type of each type other than the "Flying Submersible" is being built (but because the smaller the warship, the faster it can be built)
, the proportion of various ship types is quite reasonable, except for the key construction of submarines and speedboats.), it is purely used as a technical reserve.
Compared with the Air Force and Navy, the Army's technical equipment was much smaller in proportion, but military industry construction also made amazing progress in 1940. Both quantity and quality were significantly higher than the previous year.
improve.
According to later declassified documents, in 1940 China produced more than 4 billion rounds and more than 2.5 million new rifles (including 1.5 million Type 24 semi-automatic rifles and 1 million Type 81 assault rifles.), both of which jumped by leaps and bounds.
Living in the world
The first place highlights the Chinese Army's unique army-building philosophy with light infantry as the core. Moreover, China's light infantry now has more than just rifles. Domestic arsenals produced more than 18,000 mortars of various types in 1940, and more than 150 mortars.
Thousands of attacks
artillery, more than 30,000 rocket launchers, more than 40,000 light and heavy machine guns, and hundreds of thousands of individual cloudbursts (disposable and thrown away after use). We plan to equip the main force with one. The current production is far from enough.
Therefore, the output in 1941 was still very large
The increase in speed.) Armed them to the teeth. The Chinese People's Liberation Army infantry, who are already brave, hard-working, well-trained, and tactically flexible, after being equipped with so many advanced light weapons, their title of "the strongest infantry in the world" is even more
Well deserved [
In addition to the light infantry with traditional advantages, the strength of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Army Artillery Force has also grown by leaps and bounds. In 1940, China produced more than 3,500 barrel artillery pieces (excluding anti-aircraft guns) with a caliber of 105mm and above (including 105mm caliber).
(More than 500 heavy artillery pieces), nearly 400,000 rounds of artillery, and nearly 150,000 rockets produced (bazooka production is too easy, tap water pipes can be used
For modification, the production of rockets is the only limiting factor, so I will only mention the production of rockets.) Such powerful ground artillery, even compared with the current powers, is only inferior to the Soviet Union and Germany (the United States mainly relies on air
In terms of support, artillery fire is not paid much attention to. The artillery output is incomparable with that of the Soviet Union and Germany. Historically, our artillery fire density exceeded that of the US military in the late Korean War.) This undoubtedly further enhanced the strength of the Chinese Army.
However, we must know that China's industrial strength is only comparable to that of the second-class powers. How can we maintain such an astonishing output of light weapons and artillery? Even though the United States and Britain do not attach much importance to army artillery, the heavy artillery production of the two countries was surpassed by China a few years ago.
It is really incredible that a country that cannot even build heavy artillery can surpass it. However, this problem is actually very simple to put it bluntly.
Firstly, China's investment in air force and navy is far less than that of the two countries, thus freeing up a large amount of military budget. Secondly, China's output of anti-aircraft guns and other anti-aircraft weapons and tanks and other armored vehicles is only equivalent to one of the two countries.
This also saves a lot of expenses, allowing China's arsenal to use its limited production capacity to produce weapons and ammunition needed by infantry and artillery.
However, if any country underestimates the strength of China's air defense and armored forces, they will definitely regret it.
In 1940, including the number of naval equipment, China produced a total of more than 1,000 tubes of 25mm and 127mm caliber anti-aircraft guns (because some were integrated into "phalanxes", the unit was called "tube" instead of "door"). This is different from history.
Compared with Germany's horrific production of more than 180,000 guns during World War II, it is barely even a fraction. However, the performance of China's anti-aircraft guns is the best in the world, and it is more precise with the help of gun sighting radar and gyro sights.
The speed has greatly increased. Although the technologies of the two were successively obtained by the Soviet Union and Germany, and the British also developed the first generation of artillery sighting radar on their own, China, which was the first to develop it, and also had Hu Weidong, a time traveler, to guide the direction, was more or less still
It has a slight advantage. Although China's strength is still much weaker than the air defense forces of those first-class powers, if the powers want to rely on air superiority to invade China, the Chinese Air Force and Air Defense Force that are ready will definitely give them a chance to come back.
!
Due to the limitation of national strength, New China has never fully produced the hugely expensive tanks and armored vehicles. Even in 1940, China's total annual output of armored vehicles only reached 600 units. This is the result of including amphibious tanks.
Compared with any first-class power except Japan, it is far behind. The Chinese armored force built on this weak foundation naturally cannot be very large.
By the end of 1940, China had only established a mechanized army composed of armored cavalry divisions, two mechanized infantry divisions and a mechanized heavy artillery brigade. However, compared with the previous period, which mainly relied on captured Japanese tanks, today's Chinese armored forces
Already completely reborn, the world's best light tank "August 1 Reform" has completely eliminated the original Japanese Type 95 light tank and its improved Type 98 light tank. This type of light tank is beyond the times.
The light tank has a protective power close to that of an advanced medium tank, the best off-road speed in the world (the road speed is not as good as that of a Maozi tank, they have wheels.), maximum travel and terrain adaptability, and its reliability and low fuel consumption are also among the best in the world.
Among the tanks of various countries, it ranks among the best. Coupled with the armored cavalry tactics tailored for it, its status in the Chinese Army is no less than that of the T34 in the Soviet Army and the Black Panther in the German Army.
And it is worth mentioning that by 1940, with the rapid development of China's basic industry, Hu Weidong believed that China could begin to develop its own medium tanks, so he drew the historical design of the Type 59 tank for reference.
Although only the drawings of the early Type 59 tanks have been produced for the time being, it has not been widely used in China until the 21st century.
The overall performance of the double-sided hardened armor steel is much stronger than that of the early Type 59 tanks in history. Even the early models of the Type 59 tanks in history were definitely an extremely terrifying weapon during World War II.
, because it has firepower and protection comparable to that of a heavy tank, but its mobility exceeds any medium tank during World War II (to be continued...)
