One Person's Time and Space Smuggling Empire VIP Volume Chapter 117 The So-called Tank

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Also on the other side of the distant Eurasian continent, in Nanjing, China, there are also people paying attention to the Battle of the Balkans.  The reason for the concern is simple. It turns out that this so-called tank was created by China. It is one of the important technology exchanges secretly agreed between China and Germany.  The tanks that appeared on the Balkan battlefield were basically experimental armored units carefully built by the German General Staff.

    The strategic situation of Germany determines that only tanks can fundamentally change Germany's combat effectiveness, thus changing the overall situation of the First World War in Europe, so that China in the distant east has a better chance to benefit from the world war.  Otherwise, if the situation remains the same as the original history, Germany will not be able to survive for too long.

    It¡¯s just that this kind of tank is completely different from the tanks during World War II, and its tactics are also completely different. Except for a few people with strategic vision beyond the times such as Montgomery Guderian, they can see its future development strategies and tactics.  Today's tanks are actually more often viewed as mobile battlefield fortresses. Their greatest role is not to rush forward, but to attract the hatred value of the enemy's defensive firepower, insert into the enemy's position, and disrupt the enemy's defense.  .  In the Balkan War, this tank tactic had roughly the same effect.

    This is determined by the performance of the tanks at this time and the industrial productivity of each country.

    "How high is the German tank production now?" Li Zhe asked Guo Jia.

    "The monthly output is about forty or fifty vehicles!" Guo Jia replied.

    "Haha! It's still not that high!" Li Zhe laughed, with a sense of gloating in his tone.

    "There is no way. The famous MAN military industry and Krupp Industries are like this. There are not many companies in Germany with up to standard steel smelting technology. Excellent armor steel resources are not abundant, and what is more limited are engines and  In terms of parts, although the German military has made its best efforts, tanks are still a big challenge for the German heavy industry at this time. In fact, in Germany now, building tanks is more  Relying on the meticulous workmanship of a large number of manpower, like assembly line production, in today's era, it is still impossible to explode a sea of ??tanks on a large scale."

    "Yes! It's impossible. It's impossible in China. It's also impossible in Germany, the most industrially advanced country in the world. But that's just it. Even such a crudely made tank is shocking when you take it out! Haha!  If you think about coming to Europe, your eyes would have been blown away by the tank attack in the Balkans! This is the nemesis of all barbed wire trench warfare in this era!"

    At this time, Li Zhe's face was full of a mischievous expression, like a child throwing a bunch of firecrackers into the neighbor's yard that was crowded with people.

    The name of Germany¡¯s newly built tank is called the Iron Knight, and it is said that it was named by His Majesty Wilhelm II, who was so happy about his success.

    When he broke into the factory, he saw with his own eyes this model in the secret workshop. According to the ideas provided by the Chinese, it was produced by a series of top German military, automobile and machinery industry leaders such as Daimler, Mercedes-Benz, MAN Military Industry, Krupp and so on.  When I saw the domineering steel chariot they jointly built, I fell in love with it deeply.  According to the Kaiser's idea, the great Caesar must have the loyal support of the greatest knights in the world. At this time, as soon as the fresh and shiny tanks came out, all the war weapons of this era in the world became outdated, and only the knight  The title deserves it.

    However, although this Iron Knight has a mighty name, its performance is far from that of its more famous descendants in later generations.  In this era, crawler chassis and fuel engines were still new things, and the solution to the endurance problem alone made Germany's best engineers rack their brains.

    In addition, due to the quality of the fuel, the combustion efficiency of the engine has never been improved. Due to the backward metallurgical technology, the weight of the armor steel and the wear and tear of parts are also a big burden. In short, this model is the most advanced in the world.  The data of the new thing is very unbearable, and it will make future tanks laugh out loud.

    The vehicle weighs 8.6 tons, has 20MM front armor, and 15MM side armor. The average speed on the plain is 15 to 20 kilometers, and the maximum speed is 35 kilometers per hour. In direct proportion to its weak armor and the speed of a turtle, its firepower is, at most, only  Use large-caliber machine guns and small-caliber flat-fire cannons. If they are larger, the fragile turret will be unable to withstand it. Moreover, when shooting on such a tank, since there is no stabilizer and fire control system, the artillery has a low hit rate on the battlefield.  It was so outrageous that after many tests, the Germans had to give up the idea of ??installing artillery on tanks.

    Therefore, the final positioning of this tank is as a trench stirrer and an infantry meat grinder.  The large-caliber machine gun installed on it is the most effective. It can not only destroy the enemy's heavy machine gun firepower points, but also break into the enemy's formation and drive enemy soldiers everywhere, thus creating a better battlefield for one's own side.Field advantage.

    In short, the tanks at this time still played more of a tactical role. As for the large-scale mechanized corps in later generations, it was still impossible in this era. Even Germany was already the most industrially developed country in Europe at this time.

    But just like this, the German staff was overjoyed. You must know that in this era, trench warfare dominated by barbed wire and heavy machine guns is still an unsolvable existence. Any idea of ????a head-on confrontation will mean the death of the soldiers.  Horrible casualty rate.  The emergence of tanks can completely change this situation. From now on, any similar defense line will be smooth for German soldiers. In this case, the rapid breakthrough tactical thinking admired by the German officer corps will be completely eliminated.  has taken shape.

    The war will no longer be a war of attrition that competes with population and endurance, but will quickly move towards a large-depth mobile warfare breakthrough war. The superhuman strategy and courage of the German generals will be maximized on such a battlefield.  Great play, and Germany's industrial advantages can also be fully brought into play in this kind of war.  In this way, it would be possible for Germany to have a fair war with Britain, France, Russia and other powers that had significant advantages in colonies and population.

    There is no doubt that the emergence of the tank has completely changed the comparison of combat power between countries, and will be the most eye-catching star in the future war. The Germans have put almost all their emphasis on it.  In contrast, Germany's naval shipbuilding plan has even been shelved, and a large amount of human resources and materials have been devoted to the production of tanks.

    Under this circumstance, the current Sino-German relations have reached an unprecedented honeymoon period. "This is our most trustworthy ally!" Wilhelm II vigorously promoted friendly relations with China both inside and outside the court, which actually made China's diplomacy  The department is under a certain amount of pressure.  I have to say that His Majesty the Emperor of Germany is really a sweetheart!  (To be continued.
