Glorious Mission 1937

()Chapter 240 Five: Rewards and imperial meetings (seeking subscriptions, asking for monthly tickets, asking for all kinds!!!)

Two ordnance construction orders are also very practical, one is the German 88mm anti-aircraft gun production line, and the other is the German long-handled hand grenade production line.For now, the No.40 Army can produce everything from rifles for individual soldiers to heavy artillery and even tanks, but in general it is still lacking in artillery, especially medium-caliber artillery.

Now the No. 40 Group Army is equipped with 5 types of artillery, light mortars with a caliber of 60-81mm, heavy mortars with 120mm, Japanese-made 75mm mountain guns and field guns, Japanese-made 105-type infantry guns and caliber guns. 101mm m40 heavy howitzer.Among them, the heavy mortars and heavy howitzers are produced by the No.40 Group itself. Other sources are very complicated. The other things are very troublesome, mainly the lack of ammunition, which caused great trouble to the No.88 Army. Chen Feng had long planned to replace those junks, but he never had the chance.This time God has eyes, there is no Kata Chen on the ordnance construction order, but the pie fell from the sky, the German [-]mm anti-aircraft gun, nainai, this is a legendary weapon and equipment!

It's no wonder that Chen Fengliu said that the German 88mm anti-aircraft gun is indeed a kind of artillery with excellent performance. In terms of the most successful artillery system used in World War II, it must be the 88mm anti-aircraft gun equipped by the German army.This artillery has a caliber of 88 mm and a total combat weight of 5 to 5 tons.The pitch angle is -3 to 85°, the shooting speed is 15-20 points, the maximum vertical range is 10350 meters, and the maximum horizontal range is 14500 meters. There are 9 combat crews.

This anti-aircraft gun was designed by Krupp in the early 20s.Krupp's designers foresaw that bombers, the main target of antiaircraft guns, would fly higher and faster, so they chose 88mm, a rare large caliber at the time. And make it give the projectile a higher muzzle velocity. This feature laid the foundation for it to become an effective anti-tank weapon in the future.They also designed a rather delicate automatic bomb feeding device, which gave this type of anti-aircraft gun a high firing speed.

What Chen Feng valued the most about the German 88mm anti-aircraft gun was not its anti-aircraft capability, but its powerful anti-tank capability.If you only start a war with Little Japan.Chen Feng is confident that these weapons and equipment in his hands are enough to kill the Japanese army.But there was another important responsibility on his shoulders.If you want to take back millions of square kilometers of land including Outer Mongolia and Sakhalin Island, you will inevitably have conflicts with the Soviet Union, Britain, France, Portugal and other countries.

The small country of Portugal is already the sunset of the mountain, without too many people, Chen Feng's regiment can completely wipe out the Portuguese army on O Island.France is not to worry about either.Because France's strength in East Asia or Southeast Asia is not strong.Chen Feng is confident that one division can sweep all French colonies in Southeast Asia.

But Britain and the Soviet Union are tough bones.It's not easy to chew. In addition to India, a huge colony of more than 580 million square kilometers (including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sikkim, Bhutan, etc.), Britain also has colonies in Myanmar, Singapore, and Malaysia.There are a lot of troops and it is not easy to deal with.

This is especially true of the Soviet Union. At this time, the Soviet Union not only has a huge military strength, but also the combat effectiveness of the Soviet Red Army should not be underestimated.Moreover, the Soviet Union also had a lot of heavy weapons, especially armored forces. According to Chen Feng's knowledge, there are now 9 armored divisions and more than 3000 aircraft in the entire Soviet Union.With the gradual expansion of the war, this number will increase. Chen Feng is really not sure that he can compete with the Soviet Union. The most important thing is that the huge armor power of the Soviet Union is enough to make Chen Feng flinch.

But with the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, Chen Feng had the confidence to break the deadlock. The anti-armor performance of the 88mm anti-aircraft gun has been tested in actual combat. At the beginning of the outbreak of World War II, the standard anti-tank guns of both sides were very small. )gun.But both Britain and France are equipped with heavy tanks, such as the British Matils II, with an armor thickness of nearly 37 mm.If it weren't for the fact that it is equipped with radio communication equipment, it is convenient to contact and command, coupled with the mistakes in the strategic and tactical guidance of the British and French armies, while the German army is flexible in tactics and proficient in cao operations, the German pzkw2 and 40 tanks are simply unable to compete with the British and French heavy-duty tanks. Tanks circle around.

In May 1940, the Seventh Tank Division commanded by Rommel advanced from Belgium to Dunkirk at high speed, and encountered a British counterattack on the way.Facing the heavy tanks of the British army, the German 37mm anti-tank guns were helpless.At the critical moment, the 88mm antiaircraft guns of an antiaircraft artillery battery lowered the muzzle and fired at the British army, destroying nine British tanks in the blink of an eye, forcing the British army to retreat.On the Eastern Front, the 88mm anti-aircraft guns also became the backbone of the German anti-tank forces.When the German army first encountered the Soviet kv-1 and t-34 tanks during the successive victories of "Barbarossa", they fell into an even more embarrassing situation than in the French battlefield.The armor protection of these two types of tanks is unheard of in the German army, and the 37mm anti-tank shells hit it like an itchy.As a result, the German army once again relied heavily on the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, and it once again lived up to expectations.

It can be said that the German 88mm anti-aircraft gun not only greatly enhanced the air defense capability of the No.40 Army, but also strengthened the anti-armor power of the No.40 Army, and also greatly increased the strength of the No.40 Army's medium-caliber artillery.

The second ordnance construction order is the grenade production line. Now the No. 40 Army has 5 grenade production lines, 1 domestically produced long-handled grenade, and 4 Japanese melon-style grenade production lines.The German long-handled hand grenade production line was bought by Chen Feng from Delixi, the output is not very high, 3000 hand grenades are produced in Japan.

And one of the four melon grenade production lines was a system reward, and the remaining three were captured in battle.These four melon grenade production lines produced more than 1 grenades. Although the output is already very impressive, compared to the No. 8 Army's more than 40 regular troops and 30 militia troops, this day produced 20 grenades. The output is still far from meeting the needs of the troops for combat.

Assuming that each soldier consumes 10 grenades per battle, the No. 40 Army will consume 500 million grenades after a battle, which is equivalent to the annual output of all arsenals.The production line obtained this time is the production line of German long-handled grenades, and it is also a large-scale production line, which can produce 1 grenades. As long as this production line is put into production, the No. 40 Army's problem with grenades can be temporarily solved.

Personal equipment is a pair of eagle hook combat boots, played in 2007 AD, produced in China.Chen Feng had only heard of this kind of combat boots, but had never worn them. It was said that they were specially made by the most mysterious dragon team in China.But after wearing it, it was really comfortable, light and wear-resistant, and the toes of the boots were sandwiched with light steel plates. Chen Feng tried it out, and when he stepped down a small tree with a diameter of 30 cm, his foot broke in two, but the boots were fine.

His personal skill is mid-level air combat command. After using it, Chen Feng suddenly had a lot of air combat knowledge and combat skills in his mind, as if these things were innate.

Personal enhancement is to double the agility. After strengthening, Chen Feng's agility increased again. Suddenly, Chen Feng felt that his body suddenly became much lighter. Chen Feng even felt that it would not be a big problem for him to race against the car.

Chen Feng counted the gains at his home, while Tokyo was full of gloom.As soon as the news that the Wusongkou harbor was attacked by the squadron came out, especially when they learned that the Izumo armored cruiser and the Fengxiang aircraft carrier they were proud of were sunk, and 9 admirals were killed in battle, the Japanese people all over Japan Completely angry, they took to the streets one after another, demanding that the government severely punish the hateful Chinese people.

At the same time, after receiving the telegram from the base camp, Emperor Hirohito of Japan urgently summoned Prime Minister Fumma Konoe and others to hold an imperial meeting.

Different from the relaxed atmosphere of previous imperial meetings, this time the atmosphere of the imperial meeting was extremely tense. When Prime Minister Konoe Fumma, Akira Minister Itagaki Seishiro, Minister of Finance, Minister of Foreign Affairs and other important ministers all arrived, Emperor Hirohito announced the start of the meeting.

"Misters, let Prime Minister Konoe read a telegram to everyone before the meeting begins." Emperor Hirohito said unhurriedly. If you judge only from the tone of the voice of the supreme leader of Japan, no one would have thought of it. Japan has just suffered a major loss.

Fumimo Konoe stood up and said: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, this telegram is a war declaration telegram from the Chinese government. The Chinese government has decided to wage an all-out war with our great Japanese empire and to sever diplomatic relations. From now on The two sides are in a state of war. In addition, the Chinese government refused to recognize Manchukuo, refused to recognize all agreements including the North China Autonomy Regulations, and demanded that the Japanese Empire withdraw from China, return Taiwan and the Penghu Islands, and compensate China war losses."

Fummo Konoe's voice was very cold. As one of the culprits of Japan's invasion of China and the chief promoter of fascism, he had reason to be angry.As the first eldest son of the Konoe family born to a regular wife in 250 years, Konoe Fumma took this action of the squadron and the declaration of war by the Nationalist Government as a serious challenge to himself and the entire Japanese Empire .

"Baga, the Chinese people are so arrogant. Do they think that a small air strike can reverse the situation on the battlefield? They must teach China Jiang a lesson. This is an unforgivable crime and must be severely punished." Lu Xiang Itagaki Seishiro jumped out first and said.

Although Itagaki Seishiro had just taken over as the Minister of War and was regarded as a promotion, the old man was obviously in a bad mood.Of course, this is not an isolated case, but a pain that all Japanese land ministers must face, because at this time all military power in Japan is controlled by the base camp, and his land minister is a microphone, so he might as well be in the fifth division The group has a lot of power to speak, how could Seishiro Itagaki, who is used to being the leader, be happy.
