"Hey, how do I feel more interested in the Allied Army than the generals of the British and French Army?" Xu Jie couldn't help laughing at himself. In order to prevent the Anglo-French army from being wiped out by the Germans, in order to make the German armored elite fall deep into the quagmire of the Western Front. Don't go to the Eastern Front to make trouble for Huaxia again, Xu Jie really used his brains.

What to do with the armored spearheads of the Germans? The easiest way to do this was to equip the British and French with more tanks and more machine guns, mortars, and self-propelled guns, and to crush their opponents with absolute power. But the idea is really just think about it, who is Germany? The second largest industrial power in the world and the largest army in the world! It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the elite of a hundred battles. If Huaxia goes all out to help Britain and France produce equipment, it may be able to surpass Germany in terms of quantity and quality, but it is a pity that Huaxia is now preparing to go to war with the Russian Provisional Government, and the evacuation of tanks and half-tracks with excellent cross-country ability is still lacking in China, how can it be provided to the Entente in large quantities?

The batch of things that Xu Jie prepared for the Entente was enough firepower...... It's fast enough, travels long enough, and easy to mass produce. In addition, there are a few more, that is, it is easy to train and the cost is low. Well, that's pretty much it! What the? Aren't you saying this is a truck gun made by the British? Xu Jie's thing is not a low-grade product of the British, and this thing does not perform well in actual combat, and has been handed over to the Russians for use, but it is not very good in mobile combat ......... defensive warfare.

It's too tragic to pass sex! In Russia's muddy environment, the Russians are most busy moving these vehicles out of one mud puddle and then dropping them into another, and most of the time these things don't make it to the battlefield where they are needed. Either on the way to the battlefield, or on the way to retreat, of course, there are times when they are abandoned on the side of the road, once a multi-ton cart gets stuck in a quagmire, it really can't be pulled out by manpower or horses alone!

Even on the battlefield, the use of this truck gun is very average. First of all. The ground of this thing is too light, it is a one-and-a-half-ton or two-ton light truck, but it is equipped with a 75mm cannon. When firing, you need to lower the gun mount. If you want to fight against tanks or in slightly more difficult terrain, the depression angle of this gun is limited, because after all, the gun is placed in the rear truck bed, and there is a cab blocking angle in front of it. Of course, you can also aim the butt of the car at the enemy. And in terms of firepower, this thing is very dangerous in the face of shrapnel or high-explosive shells, at the beginning this artillery truck did not even have a gun shield, and the grenade may lead to serious damage to the artillery vehicle, and then after adding some armor, it still doesn't work, why? Personnel are not protected! After a battle, the artillery crew lost most of it, and it couldn't afford to be injured! Finally, the best use for this thing is as a medium-range suppression gun. But the range is not up or down. In short, it is a sad product ..........

Huaxia also supplied some of these products to the Russians at that time. It was for sale money, and it doubled as a test item. If it works well, it will continue to be produced, and if it is not good, it will be sold anyway. However, what was provided to Britain and France this time could not be made up in this way, after all, if Britain and France were really finished. Huaxia's plan behind it will not be easy to implement! It is more convenient to operate, more mobile, more firepower, fast enough, far enough to form and relatively low in cost, which really makes the weapons designers of Huaxia rack their brains!

But fortunately, there is Xu Jie, a traverser, according to various experiences in history and the situation in reality. Xu Jie finally plagiarized a line of thought from the history of World War II, that is, the historical FD.KFZ234 series armored vehicles. There are several versions of this 8-wheeled truck, among which Xu Jie intends to use three versions, the 2, 3, and 4 versions, and the FD.KFZ234-2 combat vehicle is equipped with a 50mmL60 anti-tank gun. The total weight is 11.74 tons. Speed 80km/h. The fuel tank volume is about 240L to 360L. The armor was 30mm inclined armor frontally, 8mm on the sides, and rear. Type 3 and Type 4 vehicles differ mainly from Type 2 in weapons. The Type 3 tank was armed with a 75mmL24 howitzer, while the Type 4 was armed with a 75mmL46 anti-tank gun. …。

Historically, these three tanks were not mass-produced, and the production of Type 2 tanks seemed to be 101 units, and there were not many Type 3s, and later all of them were changed to Type 4. But the production of Type 4 is even more sad, it seems to be 89 units! The reason for this is that this thing is not suitable for the situation of World War 2, for example, who can the 50mml60 gun of the Type 2 tank penetrate in the late stage of World War 2? This thing is a bit extravagant as a reconnaissance vehicle, and it is too broiler as a mobile anti-tank force, so it is naturally not popular. The Type 3 tank is equipped with a 75mm howitzer, which is similar to the Type 2. By the time of the Type 4, there was finally a passable gun. But it came out really too late, and by the end of 44 years it began, and most of the tanks produced in the end did not enter service with the army. It can be said that it was born at an inopportune time..........

First of all, the first advantage is that although the northeast of France is hilly, the road conditions are good, and if you can't get 8*8, it is not a big problem to pass. Just get an 8-wheeler. Second...... What hard things can be fought in 1 war? According to the situation on the battlefield, the L50 level artillery can take out most armored targets, and the British have long-barreled 6-pounder guns, which are powerful enough. There is no problem of insufficient power encountered by the 234 car crew in World War 2. Thirdly, there are really few armor that can impress it, and it can almost resist 37mm guns, and there is no problem at all. What are the infantry weapons of the German army? At most, it is just a machine-gun mortar, which cannot penetrate these tanks at all, and some 50mm cannons can also penetrate at medium and close ranges, but these things are not equipped with a certain mobility on the tank, and the infantry towed ones have no mobility at all, and can only be used for defense and ambush. But the problem is that now the Germans are attacking, how to defend!

Therefore, in terms of protection, in addition to facing German tanks or a small number of anti-aircraft guns, this combat vehicle can almost ignore most of the attacks in other situations as long as it is not directly hit by stray bullets, and in order to protect the fragile tire parts, Huaxia's weapon designers are also specially equipped with skirt plates. Speaking of survivability. Another big advantage of this car is that it is small and moves quickly. Digging a shallow pit into it will really only expose the ground the size of a palm, and by the standards of World War 1, it is really not easy to hit such a small thing with tank artillery. Although the current level of technology cannot create a high-speed of 80 to 90 kilometers on the road, it is still possible to run 50 to 60 kilometers. Coupled with the long journey, how can a car run about 500km with a full tank of fuel. This can basically reach most areas of the battlefield with one refueling, a proper fire brigade! …。

What's more important is the cheapness, of course, this cheapness is compared to the standard tank, and when firing at the tank, the 50mm long gun or even the 75mm gun can almost guarantee mutual destruction. Take a wheeled armored car for a tank, that's obviously a lot of money! Adhering to the requirements of saving resources, facilitating logistics and multi-functionality, Huaxia's designers produced a series of multi-functional combat vehicles on the site of an eight-wheeled vehicle. Of course. Most of the weapons are different, and the others are basically the same level of artillery that must be installed, at the request of the British, they were specially replaced with 57mml50 cannons produced by the British themselves, and the howitzer car does not use the 75mm level, and the British felt a little small, so they replaced it with their own 24-pounder gun. As for anti-tank combat vehicles? Considering that the French also had a large anti-tank need, after some coordination, it was decided to adopt the French 75mm cannon as the unified configuration of the Entente. In addition, in order to increase the close-range firepower, Huaxia also produced a combat vehicle equipped with rifled mortars specifically for the Entente. In addition, there are reconnaissance vehicles equipped with machine guns or 37mm guns.

The weight of the entire vehicle is about 8 tons, the front is 20 mm of inclined armor, and the sides and rear remain unchanged at 8 mm. The maximum speed is around 45km, and the journey is very guaranteed, at least more than 300km. What's more important is that this thing is relatively easy to train, can you drive? If you know how to drive, you can accept the needs for a while. It was much easier than training tanks, and later, in order to increase anti-infantry capabilities, the Chinese designers also added a machine gun and mine-throwing weapons. …………。

However, it seems that simple mobile units are not enough, after all, this is just an idea to offset the armored spearhead of the Germans, and the tactical level and equipment of the French and British in terms of artillery are still inferior to those of Germany and Austria. After weighing, Huaxia decided to send some more artillery commanders to the British, and at the same time sell a batch of large-caliber cannons...... There was only one figure in these heavy artillery, and that was to suppress the German long-range artillery. In order to increase the mobility of these guns, a heavy tractor was also specially equipped. Of course, these also cost money.

Xu Jie was still afraid that it would not be enough, and after thinking about it, he decided to continue to use this opportunity to start emptying warehouses in large quantities, such as all kinds of machine guns, rifles and mines, as long as the other party wanted. Huaxia is sold. And there are two kinds of special mines in these products, one is that Xu Jie imitates the jumping mine in the 2nd war, this kind of mine will jump into the air of nearly 2 meters and then explode, directly from top to bottom a cover! There is nowhere to hide and specialized in headshots! The lethality is huge, while the other mine is only half the size of a palm. The warhead inside is even smaller and pitiful, this kind of mine can only blow up people's legs, and then force the fight against the counter-withdrawal, at the beginning the French were very disliked for these things, feeling that the producers were too dark, and there were not many explosives, who to scare? But when they used it, they found that the person who made it was so dark and so dark! …。
