"I wonder what you think of the current war?"
Mao Xiong's arsenal is actually nothing to visit. Mao Xiong in this era cannot produce weapons such as tanks and armored vehicles. Most of the assembly lines in their arsenal are equipment such as rifles and light artillery.
This kind of equipment is actually It can only be regarded as light equipment, which is more suitable for the current combat needs of the Soviet army, but it is far from the foreign war requirements.
The core tactic of World War I is trench warfare. This tactic that appeared in the Russo-Japanese War was used in World War I. The army of various countries vigorously promoted trench warfare with barbed wire and heavy machine guns, which caused the role of infantry on the battlefield to decline sharply.
In the face of the enemy's solid fortifications and fierce firepower, expecting light infantry to assault the enemy's defense line was simply seeking death. behavior.
The tank developed by Sun Never Sets is one of the ways to break trench warfare. However, in Mainz's view, the best way to deal with trench warfare is blitzkrieg, using speed to disrupt the enemy's deployment. Give the enemy the opportunity to engage in trench warfare and prolong the war.
To achieve this goal, it is not only necessary to vigorously develop future main battle weapons such as tanks and armored vehicles, but also to increase the firepower intensity of the troops as much as possible, including large-caliber artillery. In particular, heavy artillery with a caliber above 155 mm has become crucial!
And the rifles in the hands of infantry must also be improved. Because the current rifles can only fire a single shot, their firepower and suppression capabilities are relatively poor. During World War I, All countries have begun to equip submachine guns. As can be seen from the name, their purpose is to provide infantry with powerful fire suppression capabilities when attacking enemy positions.
Countless combat experiences have shown that if the infantry is attacking. If the enemy's machine gun firepower is not effectively destroyed or the enemy's machine gun firepower points are suppressed, the infantry will be like flakes of wheat in front of the machine gun and will be easily harvested. I have seen the massacre of machine guns on the battlefield. , it is easy for people to understand why machine gunners are the favorite targets of snipers!
After all, on the battlefield of World War I, machine gunners were the most hated!
Although the submachine gun has obvious shortcomings, its range It is shorter and has poor sight, but such shortcomings are still tolerable in the face of powerful firepower.
Mainz knows that after World War I, various countries conducted research on infantry light weapons in response to the problems exposed in trench warfare.
The directions are almost the same.
They are generally improving and equipping submachine guns, reducing the weight of machine guns, and designing light machine guns that soldiers can carry and follow the assault troops.
Then behind these weapons, there are semi-automatic weapons used by the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, Germany and other countries in the war.
The development of rifles and even automatic rifles.
The performance of trench warfare in World War I caused many countries to be confused by this tactic. For example, Gaul had a special liking for trench warfare, and they only needed to build it on the border. An indestructible fortification can ensure that the Gauls have peace of mind. Therefore
, the Gauls began to build the Maginot Line after World War I, hoping that this line of defense would ensure that the Germans could no longer threaten the Gauls.
From a perspective, in fact, the Maginot Line itself is remarkable. Although in later generations, the Maginot Line became one of the focuses of ridicule of Gaul by various countries, the Maginot Line was not faced by the German army during the war. After the breakthrough, the French troops stationed in Maginot were disarmed by an order from Vichy Gaul after the surrender of the Tower City.
However, no matter how good the quality of the Maginot Line itself is, it cannot change the fact that the French army's overall tactical thinking is outdated and backward.
The fact that the German army does not attack the Maginot Line does not mean that the German army cannot attack Gaul itself and bypass the Benelux.
In these three low-lying countries, the German army can quickly enter the hinterland of Gaul.
Faced with this situation, the Maginot Line of Defense, which the Gauls had worked hard to prepare for more than ten years, suddenly became a decoration.
Got it!
The ideas and tactics of the armies of various countries are dynamically changing and constantly developing. Countries that have won wars often have a large number of old people occupying high positions in the army, which makes old and backward ideas hinder the advancement of progressive and advanced ideas, and then drags them down. military development of the entire country.
Britain and France during World War II were negative examples of this, and the Second Empire during World War I was also a negative example.
The Third Reich and the Red Bear did not have this problem. Because the Third Reich was a defeated country and its strict arms control policy, a large number of old-fashioned soldiers were eliminated, and a large number of vacant positions allowed newcomers to come forward. The same goes for the red fur bears. After they started the revolution, they did not get the support of the old aristocrats of their country.
And those old nobles hold the positions of most senior officers in the army. The departure of these people has almost equaled the reconstruction of Mao Xiong's army. Naturally, they do not have the kind of people who occupy the manhole and even hinder the development and progress of the army. stubborn problem.
In World War II, the reason why the Soviet-German war was inextricable and extremely tragic was not without reason!
Tukhachevsky is only 26 years old this year, and is only four years older than Colonel Mainz. The two are basically the same age, so Colonel Mainz wants to know what Tukhachevsky does in such a high position. How do the new Soviet generals who hold heavy troops view the current and future wars?
"Are you talking about the war in Europe or the war against banditry in our country?"
Tukhachevsky did not hate the Hans in front of him. Although he had fought with the Germans on the battlefield, he was each his own master and was forced by his own responsibilities.
But now, in the hands of the Hans The technology and weapons can effectively help the Soviet army in a difficult situation and support the Soviet army to win the civil war. Therefore, Tukhachevsky can't say that he has a good impression of the Hans, but he has no dislike for Colonel Mainz. The obvious military temperament made him feel very comfortable. He knew that the other party was a capable person and not a showman, so although his tone was calm, there was no hostility.
"What about the civil war in your country, and what about the war in Europe?"
The two people obviously had differences in the name of the Woolly Bear Civil War. Tukhachevsky called it a domestic bandit war, while Mainz characterized it as the Woolly Bear Civil War.
The names were different. It represents a different meaning, but when Tukhachevsky heard Mainz's words, he just glanced at him and did not continue to dwell on this word game.
"I think that the war in Europe is completely different from the war in my country!"
Tukhachevsky bypassed the entanglement on the name of the war and said frankly.
"oh? Is there any difference?"
Colonel Mainz became interested, stopped and asked
"Europe is too small and the furry bears are too big!"
