Beiyang 1917

By mid-June 1918, the situation in the West Siberia Plain had finally stabilized. Most of the guerrillas were driven over the Ural Mountains. Rigid and strict, fortunately, the No.6 Division had been taught in Vladivostok, so it is not surprising that the participating troops are using iron and blood methods against others and themselves!

At this time, the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms in Omsk had troops under their command:

The headquarters is directly under the First Armored Division, the division commander Sun Liangcheng

China's Third Army, Army Commander Wu Peifu, Army General

Subordinates:

Lieutenant General Zhang Weixi, Commander of the Third Division of the Participating Army

Li Mingzhong, Lieutenant General of the Ninth Division and Commander of the Participating Army

Lieutenant General Xiong Shihui, Commander of the No.20 Division of the Participating Army

10 Chinese troops participated in the war

Japan's Third Army, General Utsunomiya Taro, Army Commander

Subordinates:

The Third Division, Lieutenant General Niro Niroba, Chief of Division

Lieutenant General Fujii Yukatsuki of the Seventh Division and Division Commander

Lieutenant General Chai Goro, No.12 Division and Commander

The Japanese army has 8 troops

Commander of the Russian Ural Cavalry Army: Lieutenant General Sergey Balajanov

Major General Chapayev, Commander of the [-]st Cossack Cavalry Division

Commander of the [-]nd Division of the Cossack Cavalry Major General Breriev

Major General Nerikov, Commander of the [-]rd Cossack Cavalry Division

Thirty thousand cavalry in the Russian army

In addition, almost two-thirds of the air force of the Chinese participating army was transferred to the Russian Eastern Front by Wang Geng, and a large military airport was built at the Omsk advance base!

The Chinese, Japanese and Russian coalition forces are sharpening their swords and preparing to show their talents on the Russian Eastern Front!

The Chinese army participating in the war is well-equipped and well-trained, and after going through previous battles to regain Outer Mongolia, the Middle East Road, East Baikal and the Far East, Wu Peifu's Third Army can be called the most elite army of this era, and it is also equipped with powerful forces. The world's leading aviation team.

在鄂木斯克机场驻扎了6个se5战斗机中队和6个dh4侦察轰炸机中队，每个中队都是4x4编组16架飞机，此外还有6个汉德利佩季o400重型轰炸机中队，每个中队12架重型轰炸机，这还不算完，2个v1500重型轰炸机中队同样转场到了鄂木斯克，每个中队是12架巨无霸的v1500重型轰炸机。

Of course, the trump card of the air force of the participating army is the Chinese FR-4 combat reconnaissance bomber that was finalized at the end of April. The first batch of 18 FR-36s that completed production in May have been put into active service. It is faster, taller and stronger. The best portrayal of a multirole fighter.

As the first all-metal low-wing single-hull fighter of this era, the extensive use of aluminum alloys has greatly reduced the weight of this aircraft, and the retractable landing gear and embedded rivet skin technology have made this aircraft This aircraft has excellent climbing and circling performance, and its aerial combat figure is exceptionally light.

With a combat radius of 480 kilometers, a maximum speed of 260 kilometers per hour, a maximum range of 965 kilometers, a practical ceiling of 7700 meters, a bomb load of 300kg, and excellent climbing and circling fighting performance, this Chinese fr- 18 is well-deserved to become the future air supremacy.

多用途战斗机中华fr-18被王庚起了一个响亮的绰号：“卓越者”，与之前se5和dh4每个中队4个4机编队不同，中华fr-18卓越者每个中队是3个4机编队，一个中队辖12架fr-18卓越者。

Wang Geng deployed two Chinese FR-2 Excellence Squadrons in the Omsk base camp, and the remaining one stayed in the Beijing Nanyuan base camp. Of course, according to the production capacity of the China Aircraft Manufacturing Company, there will be 18 Chinese FR-48 squadrons in June. 18 Excellence rolled off the production line. There will be 54 aircraft in July, and the production capacity of Excellence will reach 8 in August. By the end of the year, the monthly production capacity of Excellence will reach 60 aircraft.

The completely domestically developed Chinese FR-18 Excellence will replace the SE5 and DH4, the two imported British aircraft equipped by the air force of the participating army. In fact, with the finalization of the design and production of the Excellence at the end of April, all parties in the Allied Powers have taken a fancy to it For this aircraft, Japan even had the cheek to buy a squadron of outstanding people to take it back for imitation and research.

But this time is different from penicillin. China Aluminum's series of aluminum alloy formulas and processes are the biggest secrets of China-Zheng Fu. Except for the transfer of some of the patent rights to the United States with reservations, they are not available to any country other than China and the United States. Recipes and authorizations are not open for the time being.At least in Wang Geng's opinion, China will not transfer aluminum alloy production technology and patent authorization to Japan in the short term. At the beginning, everyone agreed that Japan would go all out to develop the navy, and China would focus on building the army and air force.

在之前的四月底，口径气冷式m1918a1勃朗宁重机枪已经顺利定型并投入了生产和改装，放大版的m1918a3型大口径勃朗宁重机枪也于5月底顺利定型，宣化兵工厂从5月份开始就转而生产气冷式口径的m1918a1重机枪，而首批进口的2000挺大口径m1918a3勃朗宁重机枪则优先换装在了第一装甲师所使用的的fd-17ii型带旋转炮塔的轮式战车上。

Of course, each of the armored regiments of the three divisions under Wu Peifu's Third Army has also been replaced with a new type of fd-17ii wheeled armored vehicle that uses a new type of heavy machine gun with a large caliber.

In addition to the fd-17ii wheeled armored combat vehicle, the first batch of large-caliber heavy machine guns also included the fr-18 Eximus multi-purpose fighter. The front machine gun of the fr-18 was replaced by a large-caliber m1918a3 heavy machine gun, while the rear The machine gun was replaced with the caliber air-cooled m1918a1 heavy machine gun. These two new machine guns of the Browning family finally entered the stage of history.

The Chinese Hummer off-road vehicle that was finalized at the end of April was rushed to produce [-] vehicles in May, and it was also given priority to be equipped with Wu Peifu's Third Army to replace the Ford Model T that was originally used as a command vehicle.

China Hummer is equipped with Ford in-line 4-cylinder air-cooled engine, 4x4 drive, three-speed transmission, low body, one-time forming and pressing of steel chassis, front and rear wheel bridge-type spring steel du li suspension, and the weight of the whole vehicle is only 860 kg. It is 3 meters long, 80 meter high and 450 meter wide, with a maximum speed of [-] kilometers per hour and a load of [-] kilograms.

At the same time, the 37mm caliber high-shelf anti-tank gun is still in the process of trial production. It is expected that the design will be finalized by the end of July. As for the fd-7 six-ton ​​light tank, it is expected that the first batch of samples will not be completed until the end of August at the earliest. After all, there is a big difference between tracked vehicles and the wheeled vehicles produced by China Fudao Motor Company, and Wang Geng's strict requirements for mobility make the development of light tanks relatively difficult.

好在大口径重机枪的问世使得参战军的序列里终于出现了高she机枪防空营，双联装的口径m1918a3重机枪被安装在fd-17ii型轮式装甲车的底盘上形成了360度高she平she两用机枪平台，炽热的火力强度和高达5000米的she高使得参战军平添一种防空和反坦克利器！

It must be said that this large-caliber machine gun developed by Browning can be called the most amazing infantry weapon in 1918. The specific parameters of the m1918a3 Browning large-caliber heavy machine gun are as follows

Total weight 38kg (empty gun), 58kg (with tripod)

full length

653 mm

barrel length

143 mm

Ammunition x99 mm (

Caliber mm

She speed 450-550 points

Muzzle velocity 930 ms

Effective range 1800 meters

The maximum range is 7400 meters

Feed mode: chain feed

Sight type adjustable mechanical rear sight

Similarly, the 17mm and 60mm mortar vehicles carried by the fd-81ii wheeled armored vehicle have become more and more perfect and reliable. The openable and closed upper roof armor and the side wing armor on both sides make the vehicle mortar have 360-degree shooting field of view.

The soldiers of the Japanese Third Army at the Omsk base saw that Wu Peifu's Third Army was almost armed to the teeth with all kinds of the latest weapons. One can imagine the envy and jealousy in their hearts. Of course, many guys also muttered behind their backs Well, the military and the cabinet finally didn't do anything stupid this time.

If Japan does not form an alliance with China at this moment but starts a war for territorial disputes, these guys who are armed to the teeth in the hands of the Chinese will really make Kurume and the brothers of the Nagoya division unable to eat and walk away!
