Vol 3 Chapter 236: War preparations: China's bottom line

.99715..99715. "General Lundstedt, this is the order just received from the Headquarters Base."
With a command, Manstein entered the temporary office of Southern Army Commander Lundstedt, who was standing in front of the huge Polish map and examining the two red arrows.
"Oh, it's a thing." Lunds took the order, then smiled, waved lightly, and said helplessly, "The British and French declared war on us, and the head of state ordered us to speed up the attack. "
"General Lunds, you said very well last time at the heads of state headquarters that Britain and France will not be involved in the Polish campaign." Manstein also said happily, walking to the map, pointing to the French border, "The British were in Europe does not have a division, and their declaration of war can only be verbal, of course, or maybe there is something to do at sea. However, the French, their more than 30 divisions, are now without any changes and are still in the trenches. Play with stones. "
"They are waiting to see us and the Soviets fight."
Lundes and Manstein stared at each other knowingly, and they knew each other that the Soviet-German war that Britain and France wanted to see might not have been staged as expected by Britain and France.
Yes, the other side of Poland is the Soviet Union. They also have hundreds of thousands of troops, thousands of planes, and thousands of tanks near the border. But what then?
"Thank you all for the head of state. The signing of the treaty of non-aggression between the Soviet Union and Germany will be the biggest surprise to Britain and France. I even look forward to when their intelligence personnel finally get the news, their superiors, and even the president and the prime minister, will What kind of expression? Wrong? Or surprise? Wishful Englishman and Frenchman. "Lenders said with a smile, while taking over a document from a staff member who reported in.
"General Lunds, General Manstein, one of our armored divisions was surrounded by three Polish divisions during the previous invasion. However, as soon as the radio for help was sent back, the division's vanguard fled the encirclement. Together with a mechanized infantry division that followed, he launched a fierce attack on the positions of the three divisions. "
"Very well, order the rest of the troops to move closer to these two divisions, break through, break through with absolute armor superiority, and then hand over the enveloping work to the mechanized infantry division and other infantry behind us. Our goal, Warsaw."
As soon as Lundes waved his hand, the order was quickly conveyed. The armored division of the Third Reich was making rapid progress. After the leader ’s highly-rated Blitz program, it was so perfect. The Poles who were trying to be Don Quixote have been defeated by an infantry division, and the next three will be 11. They only have more than 30 infantry divisions.
This time, this weak Don Quixote, who lacked anti-tank weapons, could only wave his knight gun and attack the German steel windmill.
"Everything, as the head of state said, the Polish will cry in front of our armored division. General Guderian is indeed the future hope of our Third Reich."
Manstein said with excitement that although this blitz tactic was first proposed by the British, it did not receive any attention at all, but General Guderian carried him forward. The Polish campaign will prove to the world that German armored forces will destroy everything.
He has the same confidence in the army as Lundes. The German army of more than 120 divisions has invested more than 50 divisions including 8 armored divisions and more mechanized infantry divisions on the Polish battlefield. Warsaw approached.
And the Poles are still counting on the British and the French, and even the Poles of the Soviet Union. Their more than thirty divisions will cry under the German iron hoof.
At this time, at the headquarters of the Southern Group Army in Lundes, there were two groups of yellow-skinned and black-headed soldiers, also wearing the third Germanic suit, discussing the current battle in private.
"The Germans' use of armor power is very concentrated and very bold."
An Asian general speaks Chinese and expresses his emotions. There are also several Chinese people beside him. They are discussing about a sketch of the German attack on Poland drawn from the summarized war information.
"An armored division, just them, is enough to destroy even the defense line built by the Poles. Poland has neither danger nor defense." Another Chinese man shook his head and sent to China. The German front military observation group. Although they were invited by Hitler to visit the Germans to show off their military forces, they also found many interesting things.
"Hill, what do you think?" One of the oldest-looking soldiers asked the young man next to him.
Hou Xiaoshan touched his head, learned the look of his cousin Wu Peiqiang, and smiled slyly, then said, "I also think that the Germans are strong, but the most important thing is that their opponents are too weak. I think this The plane that flew over the head in a few days. From that point of view, the only air force in the Polish who could threaten the German armored division was afraid that it would all be blown up to the ground. Unfortunately, hundreds of planes were also selling scrap iron. Burned stronger than this.
As for the anti-tank weapon, the Polish is a rookie among rookies. I heard that some Polish soldiers were superstitious with machine guns from beginning to end. It was not until they were crushed to death by the tank that they realized the terrible nature of this war monster.
If we change our People ’s Army to deal with the Germans, I think the situation may just turn around. Colonel, what do you say? "
"Haha, boy, thanks to the chairman's personal instructions, the armored forces have developed rapidly these years. I think that if we encounter any possible enemy in the future, the armored forces of the People's Army will be able to defeat them." The Colonel from the People's Army, said firmly. This trust is the trust of the six elite armored divisions already in the country, that is, two elite armored armies.
"Britain and France declared war, and our Great Japanese Empire should not be slower than them. This will be an excellent opportunity. The British and French will be pinned in Europe, and we will have enough time to deal with Southeast Asia. Only get enough With more resources and population, we can launch a larger war in the future. The Germans have been harvesting continuously, but we are still watching. "
In another office, a group of Japanese officers with moustaches are also discussing this front-line war. Unlike the Chinese, they are the Japanese government's initiative to watch the war, and in order to let this ally see the real combat effectiveness of the German army, Hitler approved.
"Yeah, this will be a chance that will not happen for a thousand years. However, we should also see something else." Another Japanese officer who looks more mature said, "From this Polish battle we can see The Germans, like the Chinese, relied on the superior armored forces to obtain a huge initiative on the battlefield. The Germans are proud of the Blitz, we have already suffered in the Northeast of the Chinese. There is no half in Poland Northeast University, the Emperor team was taken by the Chinese from the Jinzhou defense line to Shenyang City overnight, and the other party was just a heavy machinery brigade. At that time, the Empire ’s armored forces had been wiped out to zero.
In 1933, although the empire failed, it understood one thing. The infantry could not stop the armored troops. To achieve rapid attack and rapid breakthrough, infantry is not as good as mechanized infantry, and mechanized infantry is not as good as armored. This time the Polish battle will prove this again, but this time, the whole world will be stunned by the huge combat effectiveness of the armored forces.
I personally boarded the German tank, and judging from the damage and failure rate of their tanks these days, the German main tank, except for a few of the most elite tanks, was not even used by the Chinese in 1934. Although the number of tanks is small, there is only one armored brigade.
However, in five years, only the most elite tanks of the Germans were comparable to the Chinese tanks a few years ago. Therefore, I think that once China embarks on the road of comprehensive war preparations, it will be more terrible than the Germans. "
"Mr. Jun Shan made sense, so as soon as the Sino-Japanese War ended, the Empire began to develop new tanks. However, it is very disturbing that China's economic development has been too rapid these years, and its industrial strength is far beyond the Empire. According to information, the Chinese actually armed six elite armored divisions, while the empire had only five new-style tank divisions. After returning this time, we have to advise the military to expand the armored forces again. We need twenty armors Division, even fifty, since there is no need to build battleships, then I think the armored troops should be strengthened vigorously. At least, they should exceed the Chinese. Although there is no war between China and Japan, it is always good to have more armored troops. "
World War II officially broke out. In Asia, China is also discussing whether we are ready for this war.
"Chairman, just last month, our last armored division and the third division of the second armored group army were formally completed, and the main tiger type II tank and a small number of type III tanks were uniformly deployed. In this way, the planned three All the armoured troops have been arranged. They include the Guarded Armored Army, the First Armored Army, and the Second Armored Army. "Minister of Defense Cai Yi was in a very high working state after the official outbreak of World War II. The same machine, working more than twelve hours a day in the Ministry of National Defense, often the first lady and second lady Xiaofengxian to pick up home.
"Lieutenant General Qian Qian commanded the first armored army, and General Chen Jun commanded the second armored army. The current tank equipment is a quarter-speed, firepower and armor combined with about 15% of the Tiger III tank, a quarter. The three Tiger II tanks are generally more reasonably equipped. Although the number of the Guard's tanks is smaller, they are the most elite. The total number of tanks of the three armored troops has reached 1,500. It is equipped with other infantry units The total number of tanks is about 500. That is to say, our total number of tanks is 2,000. Starting from 1933, the total number was less than 500. Today, we have 2,000 tanks in 6 years and 72 months. The tank factory maintained an increase of 30 vehicles a month, of which 10 were used to replace old tanks and combat readiness storage, and the remaining 20 were issued to the army as new equipment.
If the war breaks out immediately, the number of tanks we can use is nearly 3,000. Except for a small number of old Tiger Type I tanks and early Type II tanks, the rest are the main Tiger Type II tanks. This tank has the same performance as the current German advanced model German Tiger 1 tank, and their number of equipment is about 1500. But there are more active tanks than we have, about 5,400. In the Soviet Union, there were more than 14,000 vehicles. Of course, most of them required maintenance, and there were many older tanks. "
Zhang Shusheng nodded. The construction of an armored army was strongly requested by him. Although it is necessary to keep the renminbi to build a new China, if the army is not strong enough, then a beautiful new China is only the fruit of the enemy's victory. Therefore, he vigorously established three tank forces, including the Guards, and invested huge military funds to build these three advanced tank forces.
It can be said that at least in the early stages of the war, no matter who attacked China, they would be dealt a devastating counterattack. Of course, this enemy could only be Japanese or Soviets. At this time, most of the Soviets were in Europe. If it was the Far East Military Region alone, as long as China did not take the initiative, they would be very happy.
And the Japanese are even more concerned. In the presence of a powerful air force, even the Japanese mainland is seriously threatened. Then on land, even if they have a chariot division including five new chariot divisions, they can How about it? A certain type of aircraft known as a tank killer has been under development for a long time.
Although during World War II, tank technology changed rapidly and developed very fast, Zhang Shusheng was confident that even if the Germans, Soviets, and even Americans were to innovate in tank technology as fast as possible, even if a new model came out in three months with a new tank With guns, new armor, and new fire control devices, he still has the confidence to keep Chinese tanks above the world's advanced level.
Maybe next year, the Tiger II tank will face losing one of the world's most advanced tanks, but what about it? In the face of strong industrial strength, in the eyes of Zhang Shusheng, these tanks are not so much used to defend the enemy, or they may be used for World War II, they are better used to train troops and to make use of them.
The real WWII ace tank model that belongs to the Chinese is far from the No. 2 and No. 3 Tigers.
The tanks of the Germans in the previous life were invincible in the early days of the war, and this time, Zhang Shusheng needed the Chinese tanks and was always invincible.
Hitler can do it, relying only on the industrial base of the Germans, and he can do it, also on the basis of decades of construction, plan ahead, and have advanced technology in hand, economic development and top to bottom The country's reforms have also proceeded very smoothly.
Although the number of tanks is much smaller than that of the Soviet Union in the north, Zhang Shusheng believes that at least in the early stages, maintain the active tanks and train enough tank soldiers. When the war broke out, the production line was fully operated to produce more and more advanced tanks. Tanks are the most cost-effective. Just like the Americans, even now, their tanks do not have as many armored troops as the People's Army, but what about them a few years later?
At that time, a real tank battle will be staged. In the original history, Americans relied on the strength of the air force, and the chances of the tank 'picking the fruits of victory' were not many. But this time, Zhang Shusheng will tell them with a powerful air force. Nowhere.
"In terms of infantry, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, we did not have a large expansion operation, and basically maintained the size of the original standing army of 1.8 million. Half of these officers and soldiers were veterans who participated in the Sino-Japanese War and the Liberation War. We are not simple. They will be retired from the field. A small number of retired will also be converted to the reserve system, and they can resume active service at any time during the war.
On the Air Force side, we currently have about 7,000 pilots and 3,000 aircraft of various types. Although the main fighter models are still J-2 fighters and H-2 bombers, they have been modified and are sufficient for use. By numbers alone, we may not be as good as the Soviets, but once the Soviets show aggression, we can produce 5,000 fighters with this simpler production process within two months, and we can urgently recruit them within three months. 4,000 pilot students and 3,000 club pilots are enlisted.
In terms of the navy, we have two medium-sized aircraft carriers including the newly built Huangdi and Yandi, and the Jiangsu and Guangdong. Starting from 1932, in seven years, a total of four new aircraft carriers, the Horseshoe Bay Navy The base is responsible for the construction of the Huangdi and Yandi with a displacement of more than 40,000 tons, two absolutely domineering pre-WWII ace aircraft carriers. Jiangnan Shipyard is responsible for the construction of medium-sized aircraft carriers Jiangsu and Guangdong with a displacement of nearly 20,000 tons (actual displacement of 17,000 tons and a full load of 20,000 tons). In this way, including the original three aircraft carriers Chengdu, Zhonghua (formerly Kunming), and Hanjing, during the 15-year naval development process, China has a total of 7 aircraft carriers. The early development was very slow, and the later development was very fast. All four aircraft carriers were built within six years. Although this speed is far from being compared with the perverted Americans and Japanese, it is not slower than the Germans.
Regarding the navy, I must mention that although we have made every effort to build two ace class aircraft carriers with a displacement of 40,000 tons, due to our many excellent performances on naval aviation, the United Kingdom, Japan, the Soviet Union, The number, mass and tonnage of American aircraft carriers have increased rapidly, and they are moving towards large-scale development. Based on the displacement alone, the British-built London has reached a displacement of 55,000 tons, and the German-made Tokyo has reached a displacement of 58,000 tons. In particular, the Japanese, including a few battleships, had a total of twelve aircraft carriers. Among them, they have built six new aircraft carriers with a displacement from 150,000 to 60,000 tons in six years, which is extremely crazy. (Because of the aircraft carriers triggered by the Southwestern period, those with a displacement below 20,000 tons will become small aircraft carriers, and 20,000 to 40,000 tons will be medium-sized and large aircraft carriers. Of course, in the original history, there was no Chinese stimulus and the largest Japanese The battleship Yamato has also reached a displacement of more than 70,000 tons. Now, more abnormalities will emerge in countries around the world.)
However, our reserve forces have developed rapidly. Paramilitary militiamen, national flying clubs, and a large number of civilian ship sailors who can be recruited urgently are undergoing regular training in a planned manner. Jiang Baili added.
"The development of the Navy is very important. During the launching ceremony of the Emperor Yandi, I made a request that in the near future, I hope that the Pacific Ocean can become a pond in front of our house. This requirement is not something the Army or Air Force can do. Yes, only the Navy can do it. "
For these seven aircraft carriers, Zhang Shusheng didn't take it seriously, or thought it was too crazy. Compared with other countries that have fully entered the high-arms race, China is still accumulating power.
Throughout World War II, Americans had a total of more than a hundred large, medium and small aircraft carriers. Although 11 were lost, by the end of the war, naval aviation could take off and land thousands of aircraft and bomb Japan. It is conceivable that in Unwilling to build a large number of small, ultra-small, and aircraft carriers, Zhang Shusheng not only did not think that there were too many aircraft carriers, but instead instigated more construction plans. At least, they had to push their Pacific fleet before American aircraft carrier blowouts. Forcing him to feel safe only when he was under the crotch of the mother of the United States.
At this time, although the United States has far more than the three aircraft carriers in the original history and reached the standard of an aircraft carrier, there are plans to show that the Americans feel that they have adequately protected the United States and suspended approval of more construction plans. Zhang Shusheng didn't know when their shipyard would start to build aircraft carriers across the board, but he knew that China would never stop like a rabbit and wait for the United States to wake up completely.
Cai Yan: "In terms of war preparations, each radar base is already in a state of high-frequency combat readiness for 24 hours. The frequency of submarine forces and air force reconnaissance has increased. All border defense forces have also entered a state of second-level combat. Elevate to a state of war.
In terms of logistics, due to the large amount of oil shipped from the Middle East and Africa to Indonesia, oil reserves are sufficient for a large-scale war between the two countries for one year. In terms of military supplies, pre-war inspections have been carried out in major combat-ready warehouses across the country to ensure that the warehouse can be opened at any time and armed with at least a million troops.
As for the education of basic knowledge of national defense, UU reads www.uukanshu.com. Air defense exercises in cities across the country are being carried out intensively. In case of air defense warning devices and air defense facilities, the final inspection before the war is being conducted, and air defense is being held everywhere. exercise. Even ordinary housewives are accepting how to deal with emergency wounds. "
Jiang Baili: "According to the chairman's instructions, the number of front-line and second-line troops in the northeast has increased to nearly half a million people, bringing together one-third of the country's army. One-quarter of the air force. This will be used to focus on the Soviet Union. The movements of the People ’s Far East Army and the Japanese. The total number of troops in each line at the border between China and Vietnam and China-Myanmar has reached more than 300,000. This is the number of troops that can be put into combat within a week in the event of an emergency.
"Now that we have counted our belongings, let us prepare for the war before the start of World War II, and then ..." Zhang Shusheng stood up, waved his hands, and said to the senior generals of the People's Army who stood saluting in the room. ,
"Then, let's start preparing to make money while being an audience. Thank you in advance for the generous participating nations. Hey, poor China, if you don't make money, how can you expand your army?" RV! ~!
