ps: Look at the exclusive story behind "Huaxia Sea Power", listen to more suggestions for the novel, pay attention to the official account (add friends on WeChat - add the official account - enter qdread), and tell me quietly! People say that the Russian nation is a fighting nation, and Xu Jie agrees with this very much, not only because the history of Russia is a history of war expansion, nor simply because of the excellent physique and will of the Russian soldiers. Rather, it is because the Russian nation will put the military in a very important position as long as it can solve the problem of the supply of potatoes and vodka. Historically, Tsarist Russia's reckless militarism and the former Soviet Union's arms race, which can be called a desperate weapon, can illustrate this problem. Although Russia has become a medium-sized country on this plane, and although it has lost the material basis for building a strong army, the Russians are still thinking about how to fight the war in the future!

≮ Historically, the Russians were working on the tactics of great depth. This set of tactics is to concentrate superior infantry in the breakthrough area, take the armored forces as the lead, break through the opponent's frontal defense line with the support of aviation and artillery, and then follow the development of the victory echelon into the breakthrough, completely destroy the opponent's defense system, and finally encircle the opponent's heavy troop cluster, and turn the tactical victory into a strategic victory. This tactical system is very advanced, although due to actual operational problems and some details of the grasp of some aspects of their performance in the early stage is not satisfactory (such as the Suzhno Gate Barrier Battle and the Soviet-Finnish War). But in terms of ideas, this set of strategies and tactics is still very successful. Eventually, it became an important theoretical basis for the Soviet Red Army's profits.

But because of the change of environment in this plane, the Russians can no longer continue their tactics of excessive concentration of troops and firepower, the reason is simple, they lack everything in the Russian army in this plane! Not only is there a lack of technical equipment and production capacity, but even human resources, which were once the most proud of the Russians. In World War 1, Russia lost more than half of its population. By any measure, the Russians cannot afford a large-scale war of attrition.

≡ have withered, and look at the enemies of Russia? Whether it is to follow Germany to fight China. Still on the side of China knocking Germany, Russia's situation seems to be facing the world's first-class power. Neither Germany nor China is a country that is willing to give, and whoever they follow must pay the corresponding combat power as a bargaining chip in exchange for what Russia needs. To put it bluntly, the battle mode of the Russian * team can be described as someone else's gun and their own money. Of course, the other side will naturally not provide its best equipment to the Russians on a large scale, at least not at first.

And Huaxia was also more entangled in providing equipment to the Russians. At the beginning, it was suggested that Iran should be treated in the same way, after all, if Russia were on the side of China, it would certainly be much more effective than Iran. Such allies deserve a lot of effort to cultivate. And some people think that Russia's behavior is full of speculation. Even if they end up on our side, they will wait and see in the early days of the war. For such an ally who is both ends of the ladder and full of uncertainty, Huaxia is not worth paying too much for it. Not to mention that now it's just training, and there is still a long way to go before the large-scale arming of the Russian army. Both factions analyzed the issue of equipment from the perspective of the relationship between China and Russia, and what they said made sense, but unfortunately the direction was wrong!

"Remember, Russia will be our ally, at least in this war, so we need to think about how to get the most out of the Russians, not anything else. We have 10,000 ways to prevent the betrayal of this army. Even Denikin's combat effectiveness declined rapidly after losing the help of Huaxia. If the Russian * team is a big tree, then China's assistance is sunshine, water and nutrients! Xu Jie said with some displeasure. …

"The biggest difference between the Russian army and the Iranian army is that the Russian team is a force with a soul. They have their own history, their own glory, their own systematic strategic and tactical system, and more importantly, they have ambitions. They will learn the strategic and tactical theories of other countries, and they will learn the technologies of other countries. But they can't copy it all. Our military system may not necessarily be adapted to the realities of the Russians. And the Iranian army is different. He was too young, he had no past legacy, no glory, no ambitions, and they were very distrustful of their military power. So we can not only equip them, but also shape a soul for the Iranian army. That's the difference between a big * team and a small * team. It is also an important condition for determining whether a country can eventually become a military power. Xu Jie said with emotion.

"We can open up most of China's arsenal to the Russians. But the equipment supplied is given a general limit according to factors such as cost and man-hours, just like we eat a buffet. The total amount is certain, and the Russians choose what they want for themselves. In the end, Xu Jie came up with a seemingly joking solution. But if you think about it. This is also reasonable, and the Russians still have to know better than Huaxia what kind of equipment the Russian * team needs. The superiority of the Chinese Army's combat effectiveness is largely based on the superiority of equipment, and it is impossible for Huaxia to arm a large number of Russian troops completely according to its own standards, so it is undoubtedly the best choice for them to choose a cheap equipment system by themselves.

What Xu Jie didn't expect was that the Russians were very grateful for this kind of military aid plan with the characteristics of a "buffet". Then, before the Chinese side could give advice, the Russian* team began to argue internally, and it is said that the way of argument is not limited to ...... verbally.

The Russians do have their own ideological system, and although the strategic environment has changed greatly, they can still find some traces of history in their current military thinking. Well, this should be a matter of nationality, or rather the legacy of the history of Russian affairs. For example, in this plane, the Russian * team's allocation of heavy weapons still tends to concentrate on a higher establishment. This is the same as in history, in terms of equipment level, the firepower of German units at the battalion and company level has far exceeded that of the Russians, and the firepower at the regimental and division levels is relatively close. And at the level of the group army, the firepower that the Russian * team can concentrate will far exceed that of Germany. (The comparison here is not simply by name, but by the number of soldiers, for example, the German armored division should correspond to the Soviet mechanized corps.) And not mechanized brigades. ）

The reason for this is very simple, because purely in terms of the number of equipment, both in history and in this plane. The Soviet Army did not have enough heavy support artillery equipment. If you look at the number of artillery pieces alone, it seems that the support artillery that the Soviet army has is indeed much stronger than the Germans. But when looking at the quantity, we also have to look at the quality, and this quality has two aspects, one is the composition of the artillery, and the other is the number of shells fired by the artillery. After all, sometimes the supply of ammunition will be insufficient, which will directly affect the firepower. Therefore, the most intuitive and accurate measure of a country's firepower level in a certain period should be the amount of artillery projected and the weight of projectiles, not simply the number of artillery!

If you analyze the ammunition consumption of the ground artillery of the German and Soviet 2 wars, a very interesting problem can be found. The time period is 42 to 45 years. First of all, let's take small-caliber artillery. German small-caliber anti-tank guns (37mm and 50mm) fired a total of 17 million shells. And Soviet small-caliber anti-tank guns (45mm and 57mm) fired a total of 48 million shells. The USSR had absolute superiority in this regard. …

And then there was medium-caliber artillery. This classification is more miscellaneous, take Germany as an example, not only contains 75mm and 88mm anti-tank guns, but also includes 75mm and mountain guns and field guns, as for whether the cannon is included, this is a matter of opinion, and it will be counted here for the time being. In this class of artillery, the Germans fired a total of 102.35 million shells during this time, and the most caliber shells were artillery, with a total of more than 79 million rounds. And what about the Soviet side? From artillery to cannon, the Soviets fired a total of 83.2 million shells. The largest proportion of these was artillery, with a total of 81.5 million rounds. Comparing the quantity and quality, you can imagine how weak the firepower of the Soviet Union was in this medium-caliber artillery! The quantitative gap is not very large. But the artillery corresponds to the opponent's artillery, and this gap is not ordinarily large!

For example, the howitzers of the Germans fired a total of about 18.5 million shells, while the corresponding artillery of the same level in the Soviet Union was howitzers and artillery, with a total of about 14.1 million shells. The Soviets were still inferior to the Germans in this regard, both qualitatively and quantitatively.

And the largest caliber artillery, such as the German 150 and cannon, heavy howitzer and mortar heavy howitzer. These guns fired a total of 1.93 million shells, compared to the Soviet counterparts of BR2 cannons and heavy artillery heavy mortars and heavy artillery, respectively. These guns fired a total of 2.01 million rounds of various shells, in a contest of this level. The number and quality of artillery projections on both sides were almost equal.

From the above data, it can be seen that if only the fire projection of howitzers, mountain guns, and cannons is counted, Germany far surpasses the Soviet Union. But in fact, the USSR did not project less shells on both sides than Germany, so what is the problem? The only explanation is mortars, the German consumption of mortar ammunition of all calibers was 73 million rounds, while the Soviet mortar ammunition consumption was more than 210 million rounds! In terms of mortar caliber, the Soviet Union also had a large advantage, so the Soviets completely relied on cheap mortars to catch up with the firepower gap between the two sides.
