Although Qin Chuan has an additional title of instructor, he hasn't done much work in this regard.

The reason for this is that the Maginot Line was originally a training base for recruits, and each unit here had its own instructors, although these instructors were not very good...... A significant number of them were veterans of the First World War.

Although these veterans are veterans, they are not actually suitable for the battlefield.

There are several reasons for this:

The first is that I'm older...... The First World War ended in 1918, and even if they joined the war when they were 18 years old, they are still in their forties, and the physical strength and energy of this age are not on the same level as those of young people in their twenties.

The second is that their tactics are generally conservative.

Needless to say, World War I was basically trench warfare, and the most soldiers did was hide in the trenches and shoot at the enemy.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as Rommel and other famous generals who came from the First World War.

But many more World War I veterans are having a hard time adapting to the current battlefield...... The development of weapons and equipment was too fast, and when they were fighting, tanks had just come out, and the fighters were generally biplanes, and airships were also the ultimate bombing weapons: "As soon as the airship comes out, it is invincible and indestructible!" ”

And now, the sky is full of high-altitude and high-speed fighters, and the armor of tanks is getting thicker and thicker, and the artillery is getting thicker and thicker, which is completely different from the First World War.

These equipment are matched with various coordinated tactics and blitzkrieg tactics......

As a result, the tactical thinking of World War I veterans was left far behind, so the only thing they could do was to teach the recruits military regulations, physical fitness, and the operation of weapons and equipment at this training base.

Training in tactics is mainly done in the "training camps" of front-line troops.

However, due to the problem of the source of troops, many recruits skip this step and go directly to the troops to fight the enemy.

Of course, even so, the Germans were much better than the Soviet army's practice of dropping a gun directly on the battlefield.

What Qin Chuan has to do is to formulate a new training plan for these instructors.

"The first stage is mainly training in the fortifications!" Qin Chuan told the instructor: "The training is very simple, skillfully master the location of each pillbox and transport ammunition to these pillboxes...... Before that, everyone needs to know, not to be exact, but to memorize what ammunition is needed for these pillboxes, such as anti-aircraft machine gun shells, 75MM shells, or 100MM shells, etc. Mishandling ammunition is never allowed, because that would mean suicide, you know? ”

"Understood, sir!" The instructors replied.

Things have to come step by step, and then there will be the second and third stages of training, which will become more and more difficult, and the goal is to make these recruits able to fight normally in the fortifications with their eyes closed, that is, in the case of problems with the power supply system.

Then there was good news from Colonel Paul.

"The first batch of a hundred rocket launchers has arrived!" Colonel Paul said: "Imitation of the Soviets' Stalin's organ, as you requested!" ”

"So fast?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Although this was not difficult for the German army, it was only a little more than a month from the moment Qin Chuan proposed it to now, and a hundred doors could be produced.

"In fact......" replied Colonel Paul, "the vast majority of this batch is not an imitation, but we have captured it from the Soviets." But you know, we didn't like to use this gear before! ”

Of course, Qin Chuan knew that this was not only because the Germans could not produce rockets for the "Katyusha" rocket artillery, but also because the Germans believed that they had more powerful rocket artillery, so when they captured the "Katyusha", they often dismantled the rocket artillery and changed it back to a car for transportation.

At this time, Qin Chuan requested in the Maginot plan that Major General Treskov collect these rocket artillery and transport them here.

"IN ADDITION, WE CAN ALREADY PRODUCE THE 132MM ROCKETS IT USES!" "IT'S NOT DIFFICULT, WE JUST NEED TO RENOVATE THE PRODUCTION LINE OF 150MM ROCKETS," Colonel Paul said. Where do you think this production line should be deployed? ”

Qin Chuan replied without thinking about it: "Alps, we need to build a few secret underground arsenals there to produce other ammunition, including rockets!" ”

"Uh-huh!" Colonel Paul replied: "I will tell Lieutenant General Lu Manlin about this!" ”

Qinchuan must be prepared, that is, the transportation line will be bombed and blocked by the US military.

Because Qin Chuan knew that the biggest problem in fighting the US military was that air supremacy would not be in the hands of the German army. The advanced tactics of the German army, such as the "blitzkrieg", are based on air supremacy, and if they are not prepared, the German army will undoubtedly fall into passivity.

Rocket artillery, as previously stated, is arranged behind the line of defense according to its range...... The maximum range of this rocket launcher is 8.8 kilometers, which is exactly the width of the main defense area of the Maginot Line, so there are many places to choose from.

Find a mountain, and then dig a hidden cannon hole in the anticline area, and even have ready-made ...... in some places The entrance and exit of the fortifications of the defense line were just enough to allow a car full of supplies to enter and exit, and the rocket artillery was also within this range, so the warehouse of the underground fortifications could be used as an excellent place to park the rocket artillery.

The next to enter the area of the defensive line was the anti-aircraft artillery.

The demand for anti-aircraft artillery on the battlefield is not very large, because on the Eastern Front, the German army basically has air supremacy, and the airspace basically belongs to the German army, and the air force is basically not needed for air defense or it can be said that air defense is done by the air force.

The US and British troops on the Western Front had not yet begun to land, and the need for air defense was not so strong, or it was not known how much anti-aircraft firepower to deploy.

If there is a need, it is in Africa...... Near the Gabez Line, it was used to stop the bombing of American and British fighters.

As a result, most anti-aircraft guns and artillery shells (proximity fused anti-aircraft shells) are produced in Algeria.

Of course, this was not a problem, Major General Tleskov got in touch with General Rommel and asked him to intervene to coordinate, and then batches of anti-aircraft guns were delivered from Africa to the Maginot Line...... This can also be said to be the harvest of Qin Chuan's previous efforts.

Because if a line of defense had not been established in Africa to block the United States and Britain, then the African battlefield would have been in danger or even collapsed, and of course it would not have been possible to transport artillery and shells to the French side.

But now, production capacity in Africa is part of, or even the backing of, the Maginot Line...... Behind the Alpine defense line is the Mediterranean Sea, and on the other side of the Mediterranean is Algeria, and if Algeria does not hold it, the Alps cannot become a line of defense.

Finally, what I'm waiting for is ME163.
