Chapter 712 Armored Forces

Thinking of Ye Tian's great value to Germany, Hitler did not hesitate to strengthen his determination.

At the same time, Ye Tian continued to wander in happiness.

In the artillery battalion of the German-equipped division, there are three artillery companies.

Each company is equipped with 4 75 mountain guns, and the whole battalion has 12 guns.

These 72 75 mountain guns mean that China has six more German-equipped division artillery battalions!

Because China's national strength is weak and its family background is too thin, it cannot have a division artillery regiment like the German army.

For this reason, in desperation, coupled with the strong advice of German senior advisers, the Chinese Supreme Command ordered:

All calibers above 105, as well as some 75 calibers, and even some anti-tank guns, are directly under the Supreme Command to form an independent mechanized artillery regiment and uniformly deployed and used.

Such an artillery regiment, each regiment is equipped with 24 105 howitzers, or 24 150 howitzers.

According to this list, China has three more such artillery regiments!

Of course, realizing that he had to try his best to get support when he came to Germany this time, Ye Tian deliberately kept a solemn face.

Seeing Ye Tian's seriousness, Hitler was a little anxious.

Fearing that Ye Tian was hiding something and was unwilling to popularize some strategies and tactics in an all-round way, Hitler immediately got into the role.

"Ye, I discussed with the generals yesterday..."

Pointing to the 12 Chinese artillery experts who were preparing to listen, Hitler continued to explain.

"Since they are here, they can go around various arsenals and do a good job of supervision and acceptance. What do you think?"

Let these 12 technicians play on-site factory supervision and acceptance.

There is no doubt that this shows Hitler's generosity.

Most importantly, this is very good for China.

On the surface, this is done to supervise the quality of these artillery to prevent cutting corners.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the 12 of them going there and learning about artillery manufacturing technology!

All 12 of them are technical masters, familiar with German, and even proficient in multiple languages, and the technical content is quite high.

Ye Tian was convinced that they would live up to expectations and not only get flawless products for China, but also learn some technology.

With these, it is very likely that China will be able to develop modern artillery suitable for national conditions, thus making a huge contribution to the war of resistance.

With his mind racing, a picture like this emerged in front of Ye Tian's eyes:

After returning to China, these 12 technical masters put the advanced technology learned in Germany into practice;

On the one hand, they set an example and greatly motivated other technical personnel;

On the other hand, with their concerted efforts, China established some artillery factories to continuously provide artillery for the battlefield;

Most importantly, with these big killers, facing the advanced Japanese again, the Chinese troops were no longer so passive and won one victory after another, even a big victory!

Over time, the international response became stronger and stronger, and Germany, Russia, and the United States were more and more willing to support China.

And the three Chinese armies fought hard and united as one to survive the difficult defense stage, and after entering the stalemate stage of mutual attack and defense, they entered the strategic counterattack stage.

On the other side, seeing Ye Tian and Hitler talking and laughing, the German generals reacted normally, but the 12 Chinese technical masters were in a state of dumbfoundedness.

However, something even more shocking happened immediately afterwards.

They were taken away from the lecture hall by relevant personnel, but they were not expelled, but were extremely low-key, and were welcomed to visit various arsenals.

These Germans said in detail that they could visit at will after they went there.

In other words, the key workshops of these arsenals were not on guard against them!

Hearing this, the 12 technical masters were all ecstatic.

With extreme respect on their faces, they greeted Ye Tian and Hitler and left here quickly.

After exchanging a few more words with Hitler, Ye Tian officially began to lecture.

In the afternoon class, Ye Tian divided it into three stages:

Armored Forces Course; Blitzkrieg Course; Free Discussion; Question and Answer.

Although Hitler was sitting in the first row, he realized that Ye Tian's theory was very practical and powerful. All the generals, professors of the Berlin Military Academy, and top students such as Allen pricked up their ears.

Armored vehicles are a general term for tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, armored reconnaissance vehicles, armored engineering support vehicles, armored command vehicles, and various self-propelled weapons with armor.

They are all equipped with weapons and have protective armor.

According to the walking characteristics, they can be divided into tracked armored vehicles and wheeled armored vehicles.

Armored forces, because they are equipped with heavy weapons such as tank guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, have a terrifying attack power.

Most importantly, because it is convenient to carry ammunition, armored vehicles can do well in terms of firepower sustainability.

The attack power is terrifying, but when the battle situation is unfavorable, the armored forces can also retreat quickly with high speed, thus leaving the battlefield.

Of course, if the enemy's strength is similar to that of their own, retreat is not very easy.

Finding that they don't understand armored forces very well, with a little bitterness on their faces, Ye Tian had to waste some words.

Strategy and tactics are particularly important in war.

If used well, they can maximize combat effectiveness by taking advantage of strengths and avoiding weaknesses.

Single-soldier combat capability is strong. Even if they have advanced weapons in hand, bandits who do not understand strategy and tactics, especially violent people, will definitely be crushed in front of regular troops.

Of course, with the advancement of science and technology, strategies and tactics are constantly changing.

China's Qin Dynasty, ancient Rome and other powerful countries abroad have a lot of experience in large-scale combat.

The later Mongolian Empire, the Xiongnu Empire, the Persian Empire of the same period, and the later Qing Dynasty relied on huge cavalry units.

As we all know, infantry is crushed in front of cavalry.

The reason is very simple. Relying on the amazing impact of war horses, the power of cavalry has been geometrically increased.

Under such violent attacks, the infantry can't bear it at all.

When encountering enemy cavalry, if the number of infantry is not particularly large, the wisest choice is to turn around and run.

Run as far as you can, as fast as you can!

The most important thing is that because the speed of the cavalry is too fast, if the infantry wants to escape, they must make an escape action when the distance between the two sides is very far.

Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.

However, with the emergence of heavy machine guns, cavalry units are slowly withdrawing from the stage of history.

Armored vehicles, because of their faster speed and more convenient weapon carrying, are slowly replacing the role of cavalry.

However, in people's minds, armored vehicles should be assigned to various infantry units.

Establishing an armored unit independently is a new topic.
