Chapter 371 The beginning of chaos

Compared to Zhulongtang's history, after being subjected to bloody extermination plunder of Japanese invaders and shameless occupation by the Americans and British people, there were nearly 100 billion US dollars in assets. It is known that the part it extracted was nothing. Zhang Xuewu also knew that Zhou Ying would take time to exchange US dollars and gold for weapons and materials she urgently needed. However, in the face of the heavy blockade and weapons embargo by the international community, Zhou Ying paid far more than twice the price. Zhou Ying was also under tremendous pressure and suffering of longing. However, Zhang Xuewu's good news quickly cheered up.

The special forces combat team that Zhang Xuewu sent to serve as her as a guard has grown to a scale of 30,000 people, and has even begun to gather in the form of factories to receive some related training. This Zhulongtang Dragon Head Guard scattered around the world is the core force of Zhulongtang. In addition, it is active in the docks around the world and organized underground Chinese forces in various places. A total of more than 400,000 Chinese youth participated in military training. Their production and life were also carried out according to the reserve forces in the old organization of the Rehe Legion back then.

Zhou Ying has mobilized batches of technical young people, such as driving cars and bulldozers and other machinery, and has some understanding of the Iron Blood China Baeking Party, and voluntarily joining the Iron Blood China Baeking Party, and is given priority to sending it to Kunming through the rugged Yunnan-Burma road. After traveling to the northwest, he finally arrived in Chengde. Zhou Ying knew that Zhang Xuewu continued to pilot, especially fighter pilots, so he secretly transferred more than 630 pilots with excellent technical skills and long flight time from airlines around the world, and returned to the country through Hong Kong with more than 500 trainees, and arrived at Baotou Aviation School through northwest Shanxi under the protection of the 10th War Zone troops. These backbones and fresh blood were like a tiger for Zhang Xuewu.

The 5.1 billion US dollars donated by overseas Chinese during the entire War of Resistance Against Japan is indeed nothing. You should know that the Chinese government received only 73.5 billion US aid during the entire War of Resistance Against Japan. The theoretical data mentioned by Britain and the United States include the losses and consumption of maritime transportation, as well as the parts embezzled by the British. If the donations raised by Chinese overseas in Shanghai can be completely replaced with arms for the anti-Japanese battlefield, it will definitely be a earth-shaking change. Not to mention the purchasing ability of more than 5 billion US dollars, just talking about the speed of US military production in the United States, orders of more than 5 billion will not take long. In particular, what the Chinese team urgently needs are air defense weapons and ordinary infantry light weapons. The dependence of Chinese soldiers on weapons and equipment has been reduced to a minimum. Their most urgent hope is that when the dense enemy troops rushed towards them like a tide hitting the shore, there were bullets in their gun chambers.

Zhang Xuewu no longer cared about the overall pattern of the world. Compared with history, the rise of the Germans has become a fact, and it is unstoppable. The Soviets are also secretly planning to invade Finland, and the Germans are also invading the Soviet, Germany and Taiwan regions, and even the entire Czech Republic. The Czech Republic is the third largest military weapon producer in the world, with 75mm cannons, 105mm cannons, 150mm cannons, and Czech rifles and machine guns are world-famous. The Germans have a large amount of sufficient funds to have a larger armored corps than in history. After annexing the Czech Republic, they can only increase the strength of the Germans, and the appeasement of Britain and France seems to be more powerless than in history.

The Germans' new tanks and alloys series of weapons, including the BF-109 series fighter jets that had been improved five times in a row within a year, and the Germans' Mockingbird fighter jets that began to be equipped with a small number of them surprised the British and French. Their fighter jets and tanks were no match for the Germans at all. The end of fighting on the same platform was to humiliate themselves. Even the German rookie pilots could shoot down the British and French aces. The gap in technical strength was so big?

Chamberlain is undoubtedly an excellent international politician. Selling the interests of other countries to protect his own country is the core ability of international politicians.

But if Chamberlain's compromise meets a rational politician, it may work very well. Unfortunately, he meets Hitler, a madman who wants to rule the world.

After several months of great melee from Xuzhou to Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou, both the Japanese and the ** side suffered heavy casualties. The Japanese army began to shrink their defenses in the Songhu area and completely abandoned Nanjing, which was trusted by international custody, which also made the Japanese 101st Division and the 106th Division defended Hangzhou into the outstanding part of the battle.

Li Zongren, who commanded the Fifth War Zone, and Chen Cheng, who was in charge of the Ninth War Zone, joined forces with Cheng Qian of the First War Zone. The three of them jointly suggested to Chiang Kai-shek that the time to enter Nanjing to end the custody is ripe. As a country with a full sovereign national ideology, this is absolutely unacceptable. On the ground, Zhang Xuewu's tenth War Zone is also under the jurisdiction of the National Government, so Zhang Xuewu would not be the first to be the first. What he needs now is the time to develop the economy and industry.

However, the proposals of Li Zongren, Chen Cheng, Cheng Qian and others also put Chiang Kai-shek in a dilemma. After all, more than 400,000 Japanese troops were still shackled in the Songhu and Hang area. Although ** surrounded the enemy heavily, they were unable to attack. Because if the Japanese army with its air superiority was added with its huge naval support, the Chinese team could only repeat the mistakes of the Battle of Songhu and Hang. The Japanese army entrenched in Songhu and Hang were not just toothpaste, and could squeeze into the sea with a slight force!

The Nine-Country Treaty Organization, which is trusting Nanjing, holds endless meetings. Trusting Nanjing means controlling the control of the golden area of ​​the Yangtze River in the hinterland of China. Coal, silk, cotton, grain, steel, etc. from south to north must pass through its controlled area. Because the British who are responsible for the custody committee are goods that can even chewed sugar cane bagasse to squeeze oil. After finally paying the price, the British are unwilling to spit out the things in their mouths. The countries following them are naturally more willing to follow the leader to take advantage of them.

As a result, large-scale student demonstrations broke out in Nanjing, Wuhan and Chongqing. Since the Japanese invaders have begun to defeat the Japanese, Nanjing will naturally have to return to the hands of the Chinese. In the eyes of the Chinese, this is a matter of course! However, once the interests between countries are involved, it is another matter.

In order to recover Nanjing, the National Government had to face two enemies at the same time? One was the Japanese who added swords and guns, and the other was the Nine-National Convention Organization, and only Americans who did not have much interest were neutral and believed that Nanjing should be returned to the China National Team immediately, especially the railways and locomotives controlled by the International Trust Alliance, which was extremely beneficial to the defense and even attack of the China National Team.

The National Government had its own things to do, and Zhang Xuewu was also making long-term strategic plans and plans. Zhang Xuewu also admitted that the Soviet T-34 medium tank was recognized as one of the best tanks in World War II. The T-34's firepower, protection, maneuverability, easy production and operability reached the best equilibrium state.

It can be said that between 1941 and 1942, the performance of the t-34 exceeded most German tanks at that time, but it is worth noting that between 1941 and 1942, where the relative advantage of the t-34 was the most outstanding, the t-34 tank still suffered heavy losses. The losses on the battlefield far exceeded that of the German tanks of the same period. Generally speaking, the Soviet tank losses were more than six times that of the German army. Among them, in addition to objective factors such as the poor command capabilities of the Soviet army and the weak maintenance and curb strength, the t-34 medium tank was not invincible, and some of its own weaknesses were also the reasons for the heavy losses.

While improving the Iron Cavalry's medium-sized main battle tank, Zhang Xuewu also paid attention to analyzing some obvious weaknesses of the t-34, such as the design defects of its two-person turret. Among the four people in the t-34 tank crew, the captain and the loader were located in the turret, and the captain was also responsible for the gutter's duties, which caused the captain to be overburdened.

In the fierce battle situation, tank crew command and artillery shooting are very important. The former is responsible for controlling the overall situation, while the latter determines the attack ability. The division of labor between two people is much more efficient than one person. There are three main models of t-34/76, but they all use two-person small turrets, which greatly affects the performance of combat effectiveness. Without achieving a certain degree of automation, the actual combat efficiency of the t-34 tank's turret is really not satisfactory.

Actual inspection facts have proved that the two-person turret design equipped with the T-34 tank greatly reduces the actual combat rate of the T-34 cannon. Compared with the German IV tank with the three-person turret, the theoretical rate of fire of the T-34/76 is not too bad, but the rate of fire in actual combat is often only one-third or even one-quarter of the former.

Although the Soviet-made long-barrel 76mm gun was far stronger than the German fifty-mm and seventy-five-mm tank guns before 1942, the command and firing efficiency were not adjusted, which made it difficult for the T-34 to fully utilize its artillery power. The improved model of the T-34/76 has been trying to change this innate defect, but several designs were not put into production. Historically, it was not until the end of 1943 that the T-34/85 was truly converted into a three-man turret, and the gunman and the commander achieved an effective division of labor.

For Zhang Xuewu, the turret of the Iron Cavalry tank is also a two-person man, and the captain also serves as the cannon leader, so in the new turret of the improved Iron Cavalry tank, Zhang Xuewu also planned to adopt a five-person turret.

Secondly, t-34/76 had severely lacked radio devices. In the original design, t-34 considered the installation of radio communication devices. However, due to the insufficient production capacity of the Soviet electronic industry, although the output of t-34/76 exceeded 10,000 in the first two years, only a few tanks could be equipped with radio devices.

Due to the lack of radio, when T-34 conducts formation battles, it is almost impossible to form effective command, and vehicles can even use flag-language calls. In the case of bad inter-vehicle communication, the combat method of the t-34 formation is very rigid and can only act according to the actions of command tanks, with extremely poor flexibility. When encountering ambush and encountering wars, the defect of T-34 lacking wireless communication is the most fatal. A few tanks found or attacked cannot notify the entire formation, resulting in the entire Soviet t-34 tank formation being defeated by the enemy.
