Chapter 939: Ready to go to war

"Infantry anti-tank, we also have a weapon in our hands, we call it a large-caliber anti-tank rifle." A British instructor took out a large rifle with a caliber of 12.7mm and said. "Its power is so great, whether it is for the enemy or the user. Theoretically, the bullets fired by this rifle can penetrate the side of the opponent 200 meters away."

With the help of his companions, the British instructor laboriously operated the rifle, opened the bipod, and then opened the bolt to load a 12.7mm*105mm extra-large bullet into the chamber. Then locked, aiming at the thin armor plate 150 meters away. After holding the huge **** tightly with his shoulder, the British non-commissioned officer pulled the trigger! With a loud bang, a cloud of smoke was ejected from the muzzle. Almost at the same time, the 7-inch steel plate in the distance and the 5cm wooden backboard at the back were directly crushed! And such a powerful rifle naturally aroused the surprise of the Japanese army who had never seen it before.

Then the British non-commissioned officer began to explain to the Japanese the organization of the anti-tank rifle team and the cooperation with the infantry team. However, the effect does not seem to be good. The Japanese are very uncomfortable with this weapon weighing more than 20 kilograms and more than one meter long.

In the end, after coordination between the two sides, the Japanese Army asked Britain and France to equip them with more powerful grenades and incendiary grenades, as well as flat-fired artillery with less weight. As for how much improvement the Japanese can make in infantry tactics, artillery coordination, and dealing with tanks after a short period of training, it is really hard to say, not to mention that Britain and France have no sense as instructors, nor can the Japanese. what! ,

"It seems that our friends can only learn about warfare in war." After the last day of training, watching these Japanese soldiers leaving the training ground, they have now become British liaison officers of the Japanese Third Division in Europe. Major Wellington looked at these soldiers about to enter the battlefield with a worried look.

"War is always going to bleed. It's not ours or theirs. In fact, the high-level officials are still very worried about the combat effectiveness of the Japanese, so all the Japanese troops are assigned to the Somos direction. German salient, part of the German army established a support point after breaking through the Marne River. The task of the Japanese was to launch an attack here, and then attract the attention of the Germans, and then we and the French launched an offensive on the northern front. The Germans drove farther." A colleague whispered.

"Hehe, I hope the Japanese can clearly know their own weight. This is in Europe, not in Asia. I can only say that they are too lucky to have encountered the Bavarian Legion, otherwise they will be even worse!" Major Dayton said.

The British and French still held a distrustful attitude towards the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. After all, during the Russo-Japanese War, Britain and France also had observers. According to the evaluation of the French, a mud-footed giant who was too far away from his strength and a young man whose limbs were more developed than his head, relied on a passionate blood and a young man who had a blood transfusion. Although the French admit that the Japanese army's combat will is very strong, the tactics are more flexible and very aggressive.

But this kind of spiritual bonus is still limited on the European battlefield. If it is the will to fight, the same is true for the French and British forces at the beginning. People who can push the artillery, line up to hit the machine gun and howitzer, don't say anything else, at least have the courage? However, it was of no use, and the Germans were still pushed from the border to near Paris. The Japanese were even worse equipped, so Britain and France thought that maybe the Japanese army would have some outstanding performances, but now? Forget it, don't rely on it. I dare not rely on it.

So the places that Britain and France arranged for the Japanese belonged to that kind. It was the best if it could be hit. It didn't matter if it couldn't be hit. If it can attract the attention of the Germans, it will complete the task. However, although the Japanese is not very optimistic about the Japanese strategically, he is still worthy of this little brother in tactics. When the French army changed defense, all the ammunition and supplies that the Japanese army could use were left to the Japanese army, and the army entered the position. After that, there was no shortage of supplies, almost according to the standards of the British colonial army.

There is also a special officer corps to introduce the basic situation of the opposite position to the Japanese army, as well as the strength and firepower configuration of the German army. In five days, the four Japanese divisions gradually took over. As a mercenary hired by Britain and France at a high price, the Japanese also wanted to "buy all around the world" in distant Europe!

And this time, the man who commanded the four divisions of the Japanese army was also a celebrity, or that he and his brothers were both celebrities. Akiyama is a good old man. This person, who is known as the father of the Japanese cavalry in history, specializes in this plane. The Japanese lieutenant general of cavalry and artillery is responsible for commanding all Japanese troops. He has a younger brother named Qiu Shan Zhenzhi.

As long as anyone who participated in a large-scale battle and achieved greater success, there is absolutely no simple one. You can win once by luck. However, Akiyama's performance in the Russo-Japanese War can also be described as brilliant. The light artillery and machine guns carried by the cavalry have still achieved victories in the Liaoyang Battle and the Fengtian Battle. Especially the interspersion of the troops is called a magical pen by the Japanese.

And now ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The Japanese Army Lieutenant General, formerly the head of the Guards Division, Hakoo Akiyama, after coming to Europe for more than a month, he also has a general understanding of the situation on the western front. .

"The enemy line of defense we are facing is like a hedgehog full of artillery and machine guns. The line of defense of European powers has a great depth, and the trenches and fortifications are intertwined with each other. I really find it hard to believe that Europe People have such a powerful national power to build such a line of defense in such a short period of time!" Looking at the sand table left by the French and the information provided by the French, Qiu Shan Hao Gu said in awe.

Judging from the deployment and equipment of the German army, Akiyama could clearly feel that the enemy on the opposite side was more than one level higher than the Russians he had dealt with. According to Akiyama, the Russians showed roughness and clumsiness at the tactical level in the Russo-Japanese War. The offensive of the troops was simply pigs and shelling. The artillery with an advantage in the air, but the general number of troops and artillery as the reserve team, the army’s attack mode is single, the commander can’t make up his mind at the critical moment, the artillery level coffee table, the effective range is very close, and the deployment is very poor, so that Most of the Russian artillery was killed by Japanese infantry.
