In terms of automobiles, whether it is Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, or even Borgward Porsche and the like, there is still no guarantee of the huge number needed by the army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the eve of the war in 1939, of the 103 combat divisions that Germany had, only 16 panzer divisions and motorized divisions were motorized as planned.

The rest of the troops were on foot, almost no different from those in 1914. Although each infantry division had 942 vehicles in the German military establishment, this number was never reached.

Just as the tanks of the Panzer Division were never at full strength, the cars of all the German units were never at full strength......

The bulk of the supplies for an infantry division were still carried by 1,200 wagons. In this case, it would be too self-deceptive to talk about mechanized advancement.

Who would have imagined that the main vehicle of the German infantry division was the horse-drawn cart that was used during the First World War?

Li Le even seemed to see the touching old historical photos after the war: German soldiers stuck in the mud, pushing a four-wheeled carriage and staggering forward.

Once the war began, the Soviet Union's crumpling roads would be crowded with German transports crossing the border. Yes, it can only be described as a pit father, most of the roads in the Soviet Union and the Chinese roads in 1940 are half a catty and eight taels.

German soldiers were stuck in horse-drawn wagons, motorbikes and trucks on the road. The German infantry on both sides of the mountains threw their luggage everywhere in order to hurry......

Of course, if you are unlucky, tanks and artillery, armored vehicles and refugee railroad soldiers will also appear in this picture, making the congestion even worse.

This is exactly the same as the Barbarossa plan in Germany in history, and the end of failure was almost doomed at this time.

Whether Li Le wants to or not, now, in this meeting to revise Barbarossa's battle plan, he has to face such a problem.

And this problem is also a thorny problem that all commanders of the army need to face. How to make such a unit run is indeed a very headache.

An infantry division had 300 trucks of all kinds, and most of the artillery could only be towed by horse-drawn carts. After the war began, 90 percent of the troops had to rely on their own legs to advance.

Don't think that 300 trucks or 700 trucks are just tools for towing and hauling, these trucks are also responsible for regional transportation in the war zone, so the loss and failure rate are quite high.

As for the distance between the base warehouse and the railway terminal, there are only 3 automobile regiments in the whole army, with a total of about 9,000 people and 6,600 trucks, who are specifically responsible for transportation.

However, the total load capacity of this force is only about 19,500 tons, and such a capacity cannot support the simultaneous operation of all German troops. Therefore, in the battle, if the German army attacked, only part of the army could move first, and then the other troops followed.

In 1944, the Allies felt that the 47 divisions fighting in France had a capacity of 69,400 tons of automobiles, but they still felt that there was a serious shortage of capacity - while the German army's 103 divisions had less than a third of the capacity......

Of course, now that Li Le has made improvements, the time for improvement is still short, and there is no essential difference in a short period of time.

A German infantry division now has 500 vehicles, nearly double the original number. But there are still very few troops capable of reaching this number.

At this moment, the German fist troops are still more than two dozen armored divisions, mechanized divisions and motorized infantry divisions.

"My solution is simple, that is, to suspend the production of all civilian cars and switch to the production of military ones!" Li Le looked at Speer and gave his own advice.

"If the people want to buy a car, they can only buy the same car as the army!" Li Le said his thoughts one by one, which made Spelmouth pause.

It is extremely difficult to procure cars, and as a result, a large proportion of them have to be taken directly from the private sector. As a result, there are an unbelievable number of vehicle models.

To change this situation, Li Le's method is to produce only military models for automobiles, so as to greatly reduce the complexity of the models of requisitioned automobiles.

"We only produce barrel cars! And military trucks! Simplify the production line and make the car model as single as possible! Li Le stretched out his hand, pointed to the document in front of him, and said to the officials of the logistics department.

In the original time and space, all types of vehicles needed to be supplied with their own maintenance spare parts, and the speed of supply was inevitably accelerated due to the consumption of war. In the early years of the war, the need for spare parts was so great that even the low level of motorization that had been achieved could not be sustained.

However, at present, Li Le ordered all automobile manufacturers to produce only simplified versions of the specified cars, and the rest of the models could only be used as technical reserves, and could not be mass-produced to equip the army.

The square-headed, square-headed German simplified version of the car, that is, the beggar's version of the car without even doors and the roof was all canvas, began to equip the troops in large quantities.

At first, the front-line troops who received such cars were very dissatisfied, but later on, as time went on, everyone realized the benefits of such cars.

The most intuitive benefit was that from August 1940 to November 1940, automobile production capacity more than doubled.

The large number of beggar's trucks on the front line fundamentally alleviated the problem of the difficulty of using vehicles for the German front-line troops. Germany has also moved from the past when 70 people owned a car to the present when 60 people own a car.

You know, it's only been less than three months, and the Führer's beggar's version of the car has contributed to such a huge increase in car ownership in Germany.

"Only two models of cars?" Hearing the Führer's order, Speer felt that he was frightened...... The Führer was so fond of simplifying production that he was not willing to waste even a single steel plate.

"Instead of just producing two, we try to compress as many varieties as possible! Four-wheeled sedans only produced barrel cars, Mercedes Benz cars for officers...... Trucks are also produced in limited quantities! Li Le's own suggestion, Speer began to record.

"Reduce the variety of weapons and equipment on the front line as much as possible, and if necessary, use products with as many generic parts as possible!" Seeing Speer's record, Li Le continued to command.

"Also, on the French side, make the best use of it! Renault and other trucks, equip the second-line troops! Ugly is a little ugly, but as long as it can be used, it is a good thing. Li Le thought about it, and then added to the people in the military.

Germany was nowhere near the luxury of wasting captured equipment, and at least in 1940 Brauchitsch and others were reluctant to give up even a single car.

The German troops on the Eastern Front, as well as the garrisons on the Western Front, together had more than 40,000 vehicles, which were trophies captured from the French.

Now, Li Le and the generals of the army, in order to simplify the logistics support ration, plan to eliminate these French, British, and Belgian cars from the front-line combat units.

"French cars are sent to the railway troops, and they are also used by the troops stationed in France! As for the rags of Belgium and England, throw them to concentration camps and the like, and leave them to fend for themselves. "Li Leke doesn't plan to repair these juntters, it's more expensive than building a new car.

The kind of stupid thing of producing hundreds of King Tiger tanks and making a "Porsche" limited edition, Li Le will never allow it.

If any bastard dares to do this, making the already complex enough military weapons and equipment even more complicated, Li Le will nationalize the company to which this bastard belongs!

"How's the production of the new tank?" Thinking of tanks, Li Le remembered the brand-new German tanks that he supervised the design and production.

"The production of new tanks has already begun on a large scale, and it turned out to be even better than expected, thanks to a design that was more in line with production." Speer replied to Li Le.

After he finished speaking, another representative of the military also nodded to confirm the production situation: "The military is very satisfied with this tank, compared to the original No. 3 and No. 4, it is definitely better!" ”

"Excellent! Assault Gun No. 3 can't be stopped! After all, artillery also needs such weapons. Li Le gave his own advice in this regard.

In fact, the main pressure on German tank production has recently been piled up on the aspect of artillery - the production of chassis is not slow, but there are problems with the progress of artillery production.

It cannot be said that there is a problem, but because of the excessive pursuit of model uniformity, the German tank gun pressed all the needs on the two calibers of 75 mm and 88 mm.

Originally, the caliber of German tank guns and anti-tank guns was extended from 37 mm to 88 mm. Now that all small-caliber artillery has been discontinued, the pressure has naturally been passed on.

Whether it's the Stalker tank destroyer, the No. 3 assault gun, the No. 4 tank modification, and the towed 75 mm anti-tank gun...... They all use 75 mm caliber barrels, and they all have the same production line.

Although several production lines have been expanded, the corresponding artillery barrel production still cannot meet the demand, and many troops are waiting for their new equipment.

The latest No. 5 tank uses an 88mm gun, which is a completely different line from the original 88mm anti-aircraft gun - and of course it will take time to expand production capacity.

"My Führer, our artillery production capacity cannot keep up, which seriously restricts the increase in the number of tanks." Speer explained to himself depressedly.

Recently, he has been desperately expanding the production capacity of artillery, which has also greatly increased the production of tanks and other armored vehicles. But the army is like an insatiable tiger, almost never satisfied.

The 10 mechanized infantry divisions had just been equipped, and the supporting weapons and equipment had not yet been fully equipped, and Brauchitsch was already thinking about building 20 more similar combat divisions.
