PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

Entering the winter, the whole world is slowly melting the flames of war, just above the sea surface of the North Atlantic, the friction is still intensifying, both sides are seizing this rare opportunity to restore strength, the Entente, Britain and France are urging the United States, send more arms to Europe, as long as there are enough arms, they can pull up more soldiers, especially for France, this is already a sign of annihilation, long-term loss of half of the country, this is a huge kill for France.

The Allies also asked China for weapons, and other countries also did it, three years, the time to participate in the war was very small, and they were not so eager for weapons, but Germany was different, he had to block the British, French and American coalition forces on the Western Front in Europe, especially next year, when the sea wolf tactics could not be implemented, and when the British, French and American combat effectiveness was strengthened, only more weapons could ensure that they could hold on.

However, this time, China seems to be very generous, and the list of supplies that Germany has obtained from China seems to have increased with the strengthening of the Entente powers, and China has opened up more and more arms, and the 108 artillery and 155 heavy howitzers, which have never been on the list before, are also on the list of transactions.

Originally, the German side did not care, 108 and 155 guns, one is strategic artillery fire, the other is just ordinary support fire, this is very common, and Germany also ordered some in China before. But not too much, after all, Krupp, although a little close. But it is its own artillery, which can be regarded as a contribution to Germany's own arms enterprises.

But when the purchasing staff carefully saw the parameters. couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, both types of artillery can fire a variety of shells, this is what China is good at, let infantry artillery use anti-personnel shells, high-explosive shells, armor-piercing shells, and it is also used in the northwest, but the next basic performance, part-time is somewhat impossible. The base performance has almost doubled, the speed of ejection, firing range, and even recoil, etc., have been significantly improved, and when, the gun has been so improved.

108 is not bad, 155 is simply historical, not only the improvement of various basic indicators is quite obvious. The number of people who use the most critical has been reduced from 12 to 4.

In itself, Germany had such a powerful artillery factory as Krupp. The demand for Chinese artillery is not so large, but more of a glimpse of it. But after seeing the performance of these guns, they were a little stunned. The performance of the artillery is so good, is it that the Chinese are exaggerating. But if you think about it carefully, although China has shocked the world a little in the past few years, it has never told lies, China can produce 15-inch artillery, such a big killer in artillery, is absolutely unique, Krupp, who was still proud, did not expect that these infantry artillery are so much stronger than Germany's.

155 artillery, not the largest artillery of the army, but the more commonly used strategic support artillery, this 155, 30% lighter than the German 155, almost can be compared with the 120 heavy howitzer, the range and power have also been greatly improved, as long as such artillery power is achieved, in this sense, this is an epoch-making.

The most important thing is that the number of personnel used is reduced, compared to the German 120,155 guns, at least 7 people can be reduced, which for a combination of artillery fire, the installation density can be further expanded, not the general increase, but about twice as much.

On the German side, the occupation of Baku just now, in a sense, is not bad for money, since these artillery pieces are good enough, it is OK, 4000 guns were ordered at once, according to the 400 divisions that Germany now has, each division has an average of 10, which is a huge number, 155 guns, the firing range can reach a maximum of 21 kilometers, it is absolutely strategic artillery fire, 10 guns will bring huge battlefield support to a division, and the most important thing is that there will be no greater improvement in personnel, Just by dividing the original artillery into a little part, you can add 10 155 heavy guns, and this increase in combat effectiveness is absolutely outstanding.

However, Germany bought more, or 108 artillery, as a division support firepower, more than 100 mm artillery, the power is sufficient, easy to move, and the power of the 108 artillery on the original basis, has been greatly improved, has surpassed the 108 base, and in terms of price, there is not much improvement.

The army is always the most in demand for ordinary artillery, and several of the 108 guns are not high, Germany ordered 36,000 guns at once, that is to say, 90 guns per division, which is an astonishing number, with 90 108 and 10 155 increments, the artillery density of each German division can be doubled, such an increase can definitely be called huge, with the help of these artillery fire, even Britain and France can break through the blockade of submarine forces, send more weapons and equipment to Europe, so that Britain, France and the United States have a significant increase in combat effectiveness, with these artillery, it can definitely resist, at least not suffer.

What the German General Staff did not expect was that this was not the largest killing weapon provided by the Northwest, the infantry anti-personnel bullet, which Yang Yuanzhao finally created according to the design concept of later generations, was also taken out by the Northwest in a grand manner.

Although this infantry anti-personnel projectile is only the first generation of products, but in the experiment, in the range of 15 meters around, the amazing effect of chickens and dogs still shocked everyone, what is this, whether it is a group charge, or a straggler line charge, such a weapon is taken out, almost a face is eliminated, and nothing can withstand such an attack in the shrouded range, which represents a tight defense.

Infantry anti-personnel shells, Germany has heard of them, and knows some fur, but if you want to make them into artillery, it takes a long research time, they have also mentioned, imported from China, but it was rejected, and now China has opened this opening, even if the price of infantry anti-personnel shells, compared with ordinary shells, at least 10 times higher, but Germany still purchased a large part of it, at least to ensure that each gun has more than 3 bases.

It is conceivable that after Britain, France and the United States have obtained the support of weapons and equipment, it is almost certain that they will definitely attack here, and when the time comes, Germany will rely on the original firepower support, coupled with the improvement of 155 and 108 new artillery, in terms of firepower density, it is also higher than that of the other side, if you take out infantry anti-personnel shells, it will be really terrible.

In addition to artillery, all light weapons have also been fully opened to the German side, although the AK gun series of general-purpose machine guns has not been put into Germany, but all kinds of front-mounted light machine guns, and even accidental submachine guns, have been taken out, and Germany has begun a mechanized war, and under the premise that logistics is relatively sufficient, the more fierce the firepower, the more powerful it is for Germany.

A large number of light machine guns, relatively large to replace the Makqin, further saving personnel, to control a Makqin personnel, at least 3, a light machine gun, if you do a good job of logistics, one person can use, although the attack power, worse than Makqin, but 3 is always more powerful than one.

In the winter of 1915, after obtaining a large number of strategic artillery and light machine guns from China, the number of artillery pieces of a German division reached 900 pieces, including 500 mortars, and 400 real infantry guns, including 10 strategic guns, which can be said to be armed to the teeth.

On top of the weapons that the Northwest took out from the German side, there was also an inconspicuous thing, mines, mines had actually existed for a long time, all kinds of primary mines, which appeared decades ago, built a shell with cast iron, filled with gunpowder, and then exploded with different seals.

Such mines, with limited lethality, occupy a wide range of use, and are a defensive weapon, but the northwest takes out empty mines, which can be dropped with the help of airships, and the lead will only be opened when it falls into the place, and it will be made into ordinary stones, or wood, etc., and the concealment is very strong, which is specially developed for the German side to block a certain area, but the German side, for the airdrop, for the airship operation, there is no intuitive person, do not realize the excellent benefits of this mine,

It has given Germany considerable benefits, mines such a thing, since the other side did not fancy it, it will not be forced, China does not care, weapons are very important, weapons only represent a direction, although there are no mines, a large number of artillery, after the sale of light machine guns, as long as it is replenished to the German army in a winter, Germany's strong defense, or can, when the time comes, the strengthened Entente army will usher in a storm-like attack.

The Germans bought a large amount of arms, from taking Baku, from Russia to get more than 10 million people, these populations every year, enough to support the further expansion of Germany, if it is still the previous arms and weapons, then Germany does not have enough support for the army, now in the absence of a significant increase in the number of soldiers, the firepower and attack power have greatly increased, which is a great thing for Germany.

Occupy Baku, occupy more than 1 million square kilometers of Russian land, especially Baku, the Entente will never allow Germany to occupy Baku for a long time, the reason is very simple, Germany itself makes the Entente very uncomfortable, occupy enough advantages on the premise, but Germany occupies the advantage, if Germany obtains Baku again, with the huge benefits of oil, what will happen next. Then, inevitably, in 1916, the Entente will inevitably attack, and the direction of the focus in this middle is nothing more than the direction of Bordeaux, the direction of Albis, and the direction of Baku, how to coordinate these three directions and resist the attack of the three countries in 1916 has become the most important thing.

[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! (To be continued.) )
