Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 6 Chapter 323: Parade (heads of arms and artillery)

The small theater that was staged in the grandstand was not visible to the head of empire at the time, but someone will give him a detailed report afterwards, and he will also attach high-definition moving images for him to enjoy. Not in vain.

As the core of the entire military parade, the head of state cannot leave the review stand until the end of the military parade. Standing on such a high platform in the winter, blowing cold wind, and always maintaining the appearance of a world full of glory, honestly speaking about this activity It's not as easy as it looks.

In fact, fifteen minutes after the start of the military parade, the head of empire regretted it and secretly blamed why he would agree to this plan. It’s okay to pretend to be Boe in the winter. If the sun is not bright enough today, don’t you want to live alive? Freeze his nose.

The biochemical body of the head of state is only of relatively high qualities. If you catch cold, you will sneeze and catch colds and colds.

Xu Jun was actually curious about his body, but the Space and Time Administration didn't think of leaving him a manual or anything, and of course there wouldn't be any after-sale services like three guarantees.

I won't get a Sanwu product. The head of state has thought about this problem seriously, but there is no place for him to consult and complain.

For those who claim to be the Space and Time Administration, Xu Jun has not complained much now, at least the other party gave himself another life, and so far, everything has satisfied him.

From an international student to an imperial leader, this is more than a miracle in the sky. Although there are also factors for his personal efforts, don’t forget that without the deep foundation laid by Jack and the luck of breaking through the sky, he can’t beat Hitler, let alone Leading Germany to this step today, Xu Jun is actually very content.

The costumes of the heads of state are very traditional today, and they are even a bit simple compared to previous ceremonies. He wore a tailor-made blue-grey army general uniform, with gold buttons and a red collar of the army marshal. He wore two rows of merit charts on his chest, and the knight oak leaf iron cross medallion hung between the collars.

In such large-scale events, the head of state did not wear the 4D armband of the Nazis, which is somewhat unusual, but no one has any opinions about it, just because the other party is the leader of the Nazi party and the head of the third empire.

In addition to the marshal rank badge, a black eagle armband on the left arm of the uniform is sewed on the left arm of the uniform, and the corresponding armband is also sewed on the cuff. The head of the empire did not wear an armed belt, only an army ceremonial dagger was hung on the left side of the waistband.

Xu Jun knows how to make it easier to narrow the distance between himself and ordinary officers and soldiers. What the soldiers want to see is an iron-blooded military commander, not a fancy precious vase.

This is actually what he dressed up when commanding operations on the European front. Many of the German officers and soldiers who participated in the military parade had witnessed the head of empire wearing such a uniform and inspecting the positions and defense lines of the unit.

"Salute!" With the commanding officer Liang Liang's order, the artillery sat on the seats of the semi-tracked artillery tractor, and solemnly saluted the head of the empire.

The Sd.Kfz-9 half-track tractor produced by Farmer is the main equipment of the German heavy artillery unit. In the current European military equipment sequence, there is no model that can replace it.

Britain and France also have heavy-duty tractors with similar performance, but no matter how off-road performance and carrying capacity, there is no one that can surpass this German half-track tractor.

Xu Jun knows the development trend of artillery in the world. Even in the 21st century, when the number of self-propelled artillery is endless, towing artillery is still the absolute main force of the army of various countries.

Self-propelled artillery is a weapon developed to match the high-speed mobility of armor and motorized troops. In order to obtain the mobility required by superiors, it is often necessary to sacrifice some performance in actual combat.

As long as the traction artillery is not heavy enough to move, it is as big as you want it to be, as big as you want it, as much as you want to kill drugs, and you don’t have any problem with the recoil pressure. As long as a warhead that is heavy enough can be thrown at the enemy.

The limit record of the World War II self-propelled artillery was created by Germany. The Karl mortar did indeed make the Soviet army suffer a lot, but it also proved how stupid it was to put this kind of thing on a mobile platform.

The Germans tried their best to throw the two-ton armor-piercing warhead at the fortress target four kilometers away, and if the same job was replaced by the British, they just had to drag a few Lancaster bombers out of the way. Then, hang a five-and-a-half "tall cabinet" or a ten-ton "grand slam" in the magazine, and even a thick bunker can be launched into the soul.

The German artillery performed quite mediocrely in World War II. In addition to the mistakes in the artillery tactics, it also lags in the overall performance of artillery weapons. The main thing here is the division-level heavy artillery. Most of them are designed at the beginning of the century. Not to mention that compared with the open French artillery, some indicators cannot even match the Italian artillery.

Xu Jun wants to change this status quo, but it takes a lot of time, because the improvement of a heavy artillery can not be achieved by taking a picture of the head or drawing a drawing. The improvement of the casting technology of large-caliber artillery can only be done gradually, not A satellite may be released at once.

Krupp and Rheinland Steel still have some shortages in technical reserves. After all, the German military industry has been abandoned for more than ten years. However, the situation has improved. In addition to the latest scientific and technological achievements of the French and British military industries, Germany has also hired a group of relevant experts from both countries to start the development of new support artillery technology.

However, the time left for Germany is still not enough. Xu Jun can only use ready-made artillery from France and Britain to supplement the artillery force of the German Army.

Speaking of which, this is not a good idea, because this is the pressure to increase the logistics supply system in Pingbai, and the logistics system in Germany has already been overwhelmed before this.

Finally, the main task of the early artillery was to suppress the firepower in the fortification zone, and to store a large amount of ammunition on the front line. This only shared the pressure of some wartime logistics systems.

Krupp's Kanone 18 type 173mm cannon is an advanced division-level support artillery. It has been equipped with the German army for 41 years in the history to replace the Mauser 18 type 21 cm with backward performance and difficult transportation. Cannon, this artillery can shoot 68 kilograms of high-explosive grenades at a target 29 kilometers away, and was later rated as the best long-range suppression weapon of the Germans in World War II. The full-size wooden model of this artillery was pulled by the team of half-track tractors under the stage.

The real Kanone18 is also undergoing a series of improvements in the Krupp factory. With the "new ideas" of the head of state and the efforts of a bunch of experts, I believe that after the birth of this new artillery, it will exert more powerful performance than the historical original. The head of state personally made a guarantee, so this is absolutely beyond doubt.

The German artillery phalanx dragged out two miles away, because the models were so complicated, Xu Jun looked at the various types of artillery, and he seemed to hear the desperate wailing of the logistics officer in his ear.

However, the audience was very excited, including the foreign guests behind them. They were shocked by this spectacular formation. The neatly arranged thick tubes are proof of their strong national strength in their eyes.

"Sparasi, Kaga! (Great, sir!)" Komatsu screamed excitedly, constantly pressing the camera's shutter.

"Look at this stupid yellow monkey." At this time a voice suddenly sounded in the back row, followed by a burst of unbridled laughter.
