Chapter 549

At exactly 10 o'clock, Jiaozhou Bay rented land”

Here, "from Jiaozhou Bay," standing in the tallest building in Boli Village, you can see the German flag floating in the "neutral area" of the rental area. Although it is "it can be completely in the field". Even if the relationship between China and Germany is good, it cannot change this at all." Because this is related to Germany's face issue and the "equal sharing of interests" among all countries in China. Under this international situation, Germany really has no reason to take the lead in destroying this game rules. Otherwise, Germany will become the target of public criticism.

The highest building in Zhouli Village is the ancestral hall in the village, but no one dares to go to the roof of the ancestral hall and will be beaten to death by the villagers. Even the state of the Republic of China must respect folk customs and public opinion. Therefore, even when conducting military exercises, soldiers did not dare to set up a lookout on the ancestral hall. They could only set up a lookout on a dead tree near the ancestral hall to direct the "fight".

The current Boli Village is the location of the Chinese front-line command of the Sino-Germany Joint 6 military confrontation exercise. As the commander-in-chief of the Chinese front-line enemy in this military confrontation exercise, Zhao Bei was in charge here and personally directed the "attack" against the German army.

Originally, the German side meant to ask him to continue to serve as the chief magistrate of the military exercise, but Zhao Bei politely declined because he wanted to test the combat effectiveness of the elite troops of the Chinese National Defense Force through this 6 military confrontation exercise. Considering that the main enemy of the Chinese team in the future is likely to be Japan, Zhao Bei also strongly suggested that the German team should be deployed in accordance with the Japanese military combat regulations and accompany the Chinese team to train troops. Out of respect for the Chinese president and for the purpose of showing good intentions, the German commander actually agreed to this request. However, at the same time, the German commander also proposed a condition of exchange, that is, in the next day's military confrontation exercise, the Chinese team should play the role of the British 6th Army and deploy positions on the coastline to fight the German army's 6th battle from the sea. Obviously, the German side also seemed to want to test the German army's ability to mount 6th battle.

The "fight" started at 9 a.m. and lasted until now, the "battle situation" is still very fierce. The German army's position is in the Xiahezhai area more than ten miles east of Boli Village, which is also there. Five miles east of the east, the troops participating in the battle were mainly a regiment of Zhu Daniu's Special Forces Brigade, as well as two intermediaries of the Fourth Division of the National Defense Forces stationed in Shandong, infantry regiments and an artillery battalion. In addition, China also had air forces participating in the battle, plus the logistics forces, with a total force of nearly 6,000. As the defensive side, the German army had only two thousand troops, and China had an advantage in its strength, but it had little advantage, because according to the exercise plan, Germany in the Xiahezhai area played the role of the Japanese Kwantung Army defending the Lushun Fortress. It not only has strong combat effectiveness, but also has strong fortifications, and the 6-nautical artillery fire support is also very fierce. Relying on some advantages in military strength alone, it is not enough to break through the solid defense line of the defensive side.

In fact, the reason why Zhao Bei insisted on holding this 6-year military confrontation exercise was to enable the officers and soldiers, especially the staff members of the front-line staff, to intuitively experience the military confrontation with the 6th Army's powerful country, and to practice new infantry infiltration tactics.

In the past, the Chinese team fought in low-intensity wars, and their opponents were basically local powerful warlords. The opponents were often defeated by artillery fire. But now, facing the small Eastern power Japan, the past experience has become outdated. If you want to defeat the Japanese army in future wars, you must make up for the lessons and find a good teacher, which is the German team.

The 6th Japanese Army first studied under France, but France was defeated in the French-Prussian War, so the Japanese army quickly changed to the German 6th Army as its division. Although the Japanese Army still retained a large number of old tactical ideas of the 6th French Army in its bones. However, at least in terms of firepower and troop abilities, the Japanese army imitated the German army quite well. In this way, it is indeed more appropriate to play the 6th Japanese Army assault. In addition, the German artillery fire was more fierce than the Japanese army. This military confrontation exercise really gave the Chinese staff a lot of insight. If this is a real offensive battle, then the Chinese assault troops on the front line have actually collapsed until now, because the war lasted for two hours and have not yet broken through any defense line. Considering the German artillery fire, even the most optimistic estimate, the troops on the front line are "injured and injured. They are more than half, and the combat effectiveness is no longer discussed.

But since the president did not say "stop." Then the attack ahead cannot stop, and the defensive German troops must accompany the Central Team to continue training. Therefore, the direction of Xiahezhai was still full of gunfire and cannons. Although there was no shells falling to the ground and exploding, the intensity of the "war situation" was still imaginable.

"Report! The fifth attack of the First Division was set again."

"Report! The independent artillery brigade was suppressed by enemy heavy artillery firepower and could no longer provide artillery support to the frontline

"Report! The enemy fleet in Lingshan Bay is active frequently, and there seems to be an attempt to attack our flanks."

"Report! Our aviation troops have flew over the enemy fortress. During the bomb drop, they were attacked by enemy aviation soldiers. Although they were covered by fighter jets, they still suffered heavy losses."

The staff and the adjutants came and went, presenting the various intelligence sent from the front line and the referees of the exercise referee team to the commander-in-chief of the front enemy. Most of them were serious, and a few were worried, but no one laughed, as if there was really a war ahead.

Zhao Bei sat under the dead tree, sweating profusely under the scorching sun in the sky. Although a tent was set up next to him, he was really not in the mood to go to the ventilated tent to avoid the scorching sun. The reason was very simple. He found that he had overestimated the strength of the National Wehrmacht artillery before, and the Chinese side was indeed a little careless in this exercise and did not carry heavy artillery. However, this cannot be blamed on the staff, because in the previous exercise plan, the German army's "position" was a field position.

Instead of a military fortress like Lushun, Zhao Bei originally wanted to see how powerful the 100kg aviation bomb of the Air Force was. However, after the morning exercise began, after the live ammunition test of artillery soldiers of the Qingdao Fortress in Germany, Zhao Bei found that at least for the fortifications like Qingwu Sao Shou, the 100kg bomb was basically equivalent to tickling the state. Now the Arsenal Office has created heavier aviation bombs. But Xiaofeng is ashamed of the best weapon to attack the fortress.

"We need heavy artillery with long range and powerful heavy artillery! Navy heavy artillery!"

Zhao Bei slapped the table and looked at Lan Tianwei and Jiang Fangzhen who were sitting aside. Perhaps because of the "defeated" of the exercise, both of them seemed a little unhappy.

Jiang Fangzhen was energetic and said, "The naval heavy artillery is indeed a good thing to deal with the fortress, but it is not easy to move. It was the commander-in-chief who had the vision at the beginning and asked the Wuhan Locomotive Factory to try to build train cannons, but because of this cannon, the train cannons are temporarily unavailable."

Lan Tianwei is not as optimistic as Jiang Fangzhen. He hesitated and said: "The technology of train guns is too difficult and the cost is high. The Navy had objections to this before. They believed that instead of spending a lot of money to build train guns, it is better to buy two battleships for the Navy. It is really not possible, and heavy cruisers are also OK. In the view of the Navy, heavy warships can not only be used to attack fortresses, but also to conduct maritime attacks.

Zhao Bei shook his head and said, "The navy is not a problem of buying a few warships, but also a problem of personnel. This is not something that can be done in a short period of time. Not to mention anything else, even if the Germans gave us the "Witsbach, the USS Hessen, the battleships, we can't find suitable officers and sailors to drive. Train cannons are different. As long as they are from artillery, they will train them for a little training, and they will be qualified train artillery. Besides, train cannons can not only be used to bombard fortresses, but also field battles. They fully utilize the characteristics of heavy naval cannons with long range and strong power, and completely suppress the enemy's firepower on the battlefield."

"But the naval heavy artillery is still quite difficult for my country's current level of armed artillery manufacturing, and Germany seems not very active on this issue. This time, consultation with the German government delegation, the Navy and the 6th Army both expressed their hope that the government can directly import a batch of processed large-caliber artillery barrels from Germany and hand them over to the arsenal for assembly." Lan Tianwei reminded a few words.

Zhao Bei waved his hand and said, "It is okay to buy some gun barrels in small quantities, but in the long run, the manufacturing of this heavy artillery must be done by ourselves. It is shameful and dangerous to rely on others to breathe. I understand the thoughts of some people. For them, foreign machines are better quality and lower prices, so it is better to buy them. But you have to buy them? It is easy to say in peacetime. Who did you buy them with during the war? During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Qing court bought warships and cannons everywhere, but they bought them all the way.

How many? That is the lesson of the past, and the teaching is profound. Now we must learn to be able to get along with each other. The Germans are unwilling to transfer the naval heavy artillery production technology, so we learn from the Americans and from the French. Regarding the issue of naval heavy artillery, I have made a request to the US ambassador to China through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The US ambassador has asked the domestic authorities. Although the US government has concerns, it has not refused at all. Perhaps the incident of German submarines last stimulated the US government, and the US may transfer the naval heavy artillery production technology to us.

Seeing that the president mentioned the submarine, Lan Tianwei looked at Jiang Fang. Jiang Fang was shocked by the leader, so he talked about the submarine indirectly.

"In this naval military exercise between our army and the German army, a German naval officer asked me why our army did not send submarines to participate in the exercise. I replied with a smile that it was because our submarines happened to have all sailed and were not in the military port."

"Baili, no matter how you speak, you are always round the bush? Aren't you just trying to ask me, why don't you send submarines to participate in military exercises?"

Zhao Bei smiled faintly, then curled his smile and said seriously: "I did consider letting submarines participate in the exercise, but later I thought about it and decided to restrain my edge. Baili, you may also understand that it is the high-profile appearance of our Chinese aviation force that has led to a rapid development of world aviation technology in the past two years. Even Japan has several aircraft manufacturers. In view of this, I don't want to repeat the same mistakes and make Japan pay attention to submarines again. Our Chinese industry is backward and cannot compare to those powerful countries. Therefore, we need to hide our private forces in this military technology and can only be taken out at critical moments. Of course, we must hurry up when practicing.

Zhao Bei also sighed that as a time traveler, he can promote the exhibition and even innovation of certain technologies, but on the other hand, the biggest beneficiary of the exhibition and innovation of this technology is not China, but an industrialized country. Therefore, he must carefully handle the problem of this new technological concept. For example, he knows that tanks have a profound impact on infantry offensive and defensive tactics, but now he cannot build tanks openly, but can only make real tractors in the name of "heavy tracked tractors". This is not only due to the accumulation of technology, but also to prevent stimulating the great powers, especially Japan.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages. The advancement of China-** technology will definitely cause a series of chain reactions. Zhao Bei dares not take too much steps now. He must wait patiently and wait for the establishment of China's basic industrial system.

Jiang Fangzhen and Lan Tianwei had no objection to Zhao Bei's theory. They did witness the great exhibition of Chinese aviation and world aviation. They did not expect that China's air force tactics would make a brand new military branch appear on the war stage so quickly. Although the Italians insisted that they had created an era of air war, the Chinese people did not agree with their views.

Just as everyone was pulling the topic on the air force, the roar of motives came from the sky. Several people looked up and saw a group of aircraft flying from the east to the west. It was the bomber group of the Chinese air force participating in the air force. After this group passed, another group of aircraft came over, but it flew very messy. This was the fighter unit of the Chinese and German armies. While flying west, they continued to "fight". Although they were actually just turning somersaults in the sky and did not fire, this posture was eye-opening, and even Zhao Bei stood up.

"This posture is quite spectacular and I feel very moved.

"This is modern warfare, and the era of simply competing for troops has passed.

Jiang Fang sighed.
