Chapter 937 Conflict of Tactical Ideas

Shaosha machine gun itself is not light, with a magazine weighing 9.5 kilograms. With a Japanese homemade bayonet seat and bayonet, the weight is more than 2 digits. With a bullet and magazine weighing about 1 kg, take a machine gun weighing more than ten kilograms to compete with a bayonet? What do you think? Although Shaosha machine gun is cheaper and worse, it is not something that makes you fight a bayonet. If you want to fight a bayonet, you can give you a wooden gun!&1t;/p>

Another thing that the French were puzzled by the French was that in order to improve the ability of the Japanese army to clear trenches, the French planned to equip the Japanese with a batch of Mauser C98 automatic pistols imitated by the Spanish. The power of the MP series submachine guns equipped by the Germans in melee battle shocked the French. Now the Allied submachine guns have not been created yet. Or there is no large-scale equipment of the troops, so a batch of Mauser fully automatic pistols were imported in emergency response. The French originally planned to provide the Japanese with melee capabilities, so they also allocated a batch of Japanese.&1t;/p>

This Mauser pistol is a long-barrel Mauser pistol equipped with 2o magazines. The biggest difference between this Mauser pistol and an ordinary Mauser pistol is the length of the barrel. The French bought this model as long as 30mm, while the barrel of the average Mauser pistol is only 132mm and the length of the gun sound is only 288mm. In addition, the shoulder support made of the gun box behind the pistol, relying on the longer barrel, this pistol can be used as a carbine. Although it is the basis of a pistol after all, it cannot be compared with the regular German MP series submachine gun, it is still a good melee weapon.&1t;/p>

But the Japanese obviously don't buy it... In the eyes of the Japanese, this weapon is too large as a pistol, and as a rifle, the effective range is too close. After all, the barrel length is incomparable to the rifle, and the bullets are still pistol bullets. The pistol can be used as a self-defense weapon, and the long-range accuracy of the rifle is better. After a gunman carried this Mauser version of the carbine, he definitely couldn't bring a rifle. Therefore, the Japanese believed that their soldiers were excellent enough to use long-range accurate shooting to clean up the opponent. For example, this "half-high and not low" gun should be forgotten.&1t;/p>

"Very good, we saved a lot of procurement funds. Believe me, brother, those short and thick short men from the Far East will sooner or later encounter bloody heads in front of the German defense line! They think that I am the best in the world, but in fact, there is no use except wasting some German ammunition. By the way, they also waste our rations!" Lieutenant Pierre, who was in charge of contacting Soichi Desouchi's troops, mercilessly satirized the conservative and stubbornness of the Japanese 6th Army during his conversation with his colleagues!&1t;/p>

What does one say? Artillery is the god of war. At least in World War I, this sentence is absolutely correct, so rifles and machine guns actually do not have much weight on the balance of war. The most important thing is artillery. Originally, the French did not intend to assign many artillery to the Japanese troops, but soon, when the plan was made, they did not have enough tanks to provide cover for Japan. Then a French officer with a conscience suddenly said, "It's fine if you don't give the Japanese special tanks, after all, we don't have many. But if even basic artillery cannot be guaranteed, then does the Japanese army have other functions besides dying?"&1t;/p>

General Robert Neville explained this issue from another perspective: "We spent a lot of money on these mercenaries and provided them with enough equipment. If we threw it away like this, we would lose too much, both economically and politically... At least we should make the money worth it, right?"&1t;/p>

After contacting Japan, after learning that there were many "old gunners" in the Japanese army who had served in the Russo-Japanese War, the French finally decided to equip the Japanese army with a large scale of independent artillery units in order to make full use of the "surplus value" of these gunners.&1t;/p>

After considering the current situation of the 6th French Army, the number of long-range artillery and heavy artillery on its own is not large, so it is naturally impossible to match the Japanese. The gunner is definitely a technical army. This thing is not like a machine gun. It is for you to practice for a few weeks. Instead, it needs to be systematically trained. Now, the French obviously do not have the time and energy to familiarize the Japanese with the complete French artillery system.&1t;/p>

"Let's get them a large number of 75mm guns first. There are many such guns. Moreover, even if the Japanese use these guns as large rifles, they can still play some role." General Betton said.&1t;/p>

"As a division-level combat unit, it is probably not good to have 75mm guns alone? You should always give some 1o5mm light howitzers you should have. So, give two artillery companies first. In addition, if the French 6th Army has difficulties, then our British 6th Army is willing to provide some tanks for the Japanese 6th Army." A British representative at the meeting said.&1t;/p>

The French had two large-scale fights with the Bavarian Legion's armored troops and more than ten small-scale fights. Even though they consumed their opponents, their armored troops were almost collapsed... After the prince returned to the Eastern Front with his troops, the French recovered quickly, but the chariots were almost the most technical guy at present. So the French's chariot ownership was still relatively low. Of course, what was more fatal was the heavy losses of personnel.&1t;/p>

In this era, people have driven cars, and even fewer people have driven cars and tractors! Those who drive tractors will maintain tractors are even more gold in the beach! As for what does driving a tank and driving a tractor? It’s very simple. The French ft1o transformer is a tractor transformer... The pull rod is so powerful that it is definitely not enough to be weak without force. Considering the stability of the tank now, if there is a level 4 test for a tank driver’s license, how to drive a tank account for 30% of the score, how to fight a tank account for 30% of the score, and how to eliminate various faults and repair and maintenance account for 4% of the score... That’s right, you read it right, learning how to maintain a tank is equivalent to the written test part of the later exam!&1t;/p>

So, the French can give the Japanese a large number of Shaosha machine guns, a sufficient number of Hodges machine guns, an extra 75mm gun, and even a 1o5mm howitzer based on humanitarian and face issues. A larger Japanese army may also obtain 155mm howitzer. But if you want tanks? Save! This thing is not enough for France, so I will give you? How many French divisions do not have tank cover when attacking? As for training Japanese tankers? Maybe they have this plan in the next six months, but now? Forget it, in the eyes of the French, these Japanese may be brave in war, but fiddling with high-end and sophisticated things is unrealistic!&1t;/p>
