Chapter 715 No Problem!
Looking at Ye Tian, Hitler's head was filled with questions.
Without waiting for Ye Tian to answer, Hitler added another sentence.
"Ye, I know you want to order this weapon for China."
When the conversation changed, Hitler said again: "You know, this is an anti-aircraft gun, with a large caliber, a fast rate of fire, and a high cost!"
Facing Hitler's question, Ye Tian smiled slightly and quickly entered the role.
In 1932, the Krupp Company developed an anti-aircraft gun.
After pattern testing, it entered service in 1933.
This is the leader in anti-aircraft weapons during World War II - the 88mm anti-aircraft gun!
Its total weight is close to 10,000 kilograms, and its combat crew is eight people.
The maximum range of air defense is nearly 10,000 meters, and the maximum range of ground attack is nearly 30 miles.
When making an anti-aircraft gun, use electricity to activate it and play with bomb platoons.
When attacking the ground, in order to save time, manual loading is used.
It was the most successful artillery system used in World War II.
As an extremely successful medium-caliber anti-aircraft gun, in addition to its powerful air defense capability, its most talked about feature is its unparalleled anti-tank capability.
As a defeated nation in World War I, Germany was severely restricted from developing armaments.
There was no way, so Germany had to complete the design and testing at the Krupp branch in Switzerland.
With the advancement of science and technology, bombers and reconnaissance aircraft fly higher and faster.
In order to increase the hit rate, German technicians chose the rare large caliber 88 mm.
The most important thing is that under their design, the initial speed of the cannonball is extremely fast, allowing it to fly higher.
In addition, these technicians also designed an automatic ammunition feeding device.
You can imagine how powerful this device will be in air defense operations.
After learning about the power of this killer weapon and discovering that Britain, France and other countries had fewer and fewer restrictions on him, and trying to trick Germany into attacking Soviet Russia, Hitler did not hesitate to say that he would immediately use this killer weapon in his air defense force. .
Moreover, Hitler regarded it as the main force of air defense.
Powerful, accurate, and able to shoot flatly!
Taking these advantages into account, Germany also placed 88mm anti-aircraft guns on Tiger tanks, Panther tanks, and anti-tank guns to serve as main guns.
It is the most numerous anti-aircraft gun equipped by the German army. Together with the 105 mm and 128 mm anti-aircraft guns, it forms a medium-to-high altitude air defense fire network.
With their concerted efforts, the important industrial centers in Germany were able to maintain an astonishing production volume even in the face of indiscriminate bombing by the Allied air force.
Ye Tian told Hitler about this weapon with deep intentions.
This is Ye Tian's purpose to educate him about the horizontal shooting ability of this powerful weapon, so that he can be ecstatic and give more support to China.
It has to be said that before World War II, the caliber of standard anti-tank guns was very small.
Germany's is a 37mm gun, while the British use a 40mm gun.
However, as established powers, Britain and France are equipped with heavy tanks.
Especially Soviet Russia and Citigroup, the rising star of World War I, have tanks with big stuff and thick skin.
In this case, Germany's standard anti-tank guns were difficult to deal with.
It is worth mentioning that before the invention of the Tiger and Panther tanks, Germany's main battle tanks were Panzer III and Panzer IV.
These two tanks will definitely be beaten to a pulp if they compete one-on-one with tanks from these countries.
If it were not for the convenience of having radio communication equipment to contact the command, coupled with the mistakes in the strategic and tactical guidance of the British and French allied forces, the German army would definitely have suffered a disastrous defeat based on the German army's flexible tactics and proficiency in tank operation.
Of course, the reason why the German army often achieved victory when facing these heavy tanks was the 88mm anti-aircraft gun.
While leading his troops in battle, Rommel's troops were surrounded by heavy British troops.
Because the British army had more troops and more advanced equipment, the German army was very passive.
Especially when facing the British heavy tanks, the 37mm anti-tank gun said it was impossible to counterattack.
At the critical moment, an 88mm anti-aircraft gun from an anti-aircraft artillery company lowered its muzzle and fired at the British army.
A miracle was born!
In the blink of an eye, nine British tanks were destroyed and the British troops were forced to retreat.
This battle left a deep impression on Rommel.
Since then, the 88mm anti-aircraft gun has become Germany's anti-tank ace and is known as a tank killer.
Not to mention the British and French coalition forces, even the thicker armored tanks of Maozi and Citigroup will be easily destroyed when encountering this powerful weapon.
Hitler was stunned when he heard that the 88mm anti-aircraft gun actually had this capability, and fell into ecstasy instantly.
Hitler knew that this was another great gift from Ye Tian.
After thinking about it, Hitler invited Ye Tian into the lecture theater so that his generals could share this big surprise.
As Ye Tian and Hitler expected, after learning this, the entire classroom burst into applause.
The applause and cheers were endless and could not stop for a long time.
There is no doubt that with this strategy, the combat effectiveness of the German army will definitely increase to a big level!
Amidst the thunderous applause, a future field marshal named Rommel stood up.
"Dear Ye, your tactical literacy is so high. Can you explain to us how to better use the horizontal shooting capability of this anti-aircraft gun?"
Hearing this, Ye Tian smiled at Rommel.
Everyone pricked up their ears when they found that Ye Tian was going to give a lecture again.
Before dealing with the enemy tanks, camouflage some 88mm anti-aircraft guns first.
Then, order some German tanks to go into battle.
When encountering the enemy's tank troops, the German tank troops pretended to be defeated and attracted the enemy to the ambush circle.
At this time, the German army cannot be anxious.
Wait until all the enemy tanks enter the ambush circle, and then these big killers will fire together.
Playing this way, because the distance is closer, the power of this big killer can be better exerted.
Although Ye Tian's tactics are very simple.
However, there is no doubt that this tactic is very effective.
Of course, this also involves camouflage theory, grasp of fighter planes, and cooperation with brother troops.
After Rommel, the Desert Fox, other generals also asked questions.
Combining the common sense of war before crossing, Ye Tian answered all questions.
These generals said that they benefited a lot.
In fact, throughout the process, Hitler had been secretly observing Ye Tian's performance.
Hitler found that Ye Tian was very mysterious.
With his mind racing, Hitler thought of the ghosts and gods.
Without hesitation, Hitler reaffirmed his determination.
As for Ye Tian and China, Germany can only try to befriend them, but not offend them.
In addition, suddenly, Hitler thought of Ye Tian's previous words, so he showed goodwill to Ye Tian again.
"Ye, my friend, I have to tell you that Germany will support you China for free, a batch of this anti-aircraft guns, no problem!"
