422: Radio Technology Exchange
The whole day of shelling brought not only equipment losses to the Russian army, but even the effect of this day's shelling far exceeded the effect of the previous days' shelling. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
On this day, the real losses of the Russian soldiers were not much, but the losses of the artillery were terrifying, the casualties basically reached more than half, and what was even worse was that their artillery had basically been destroyed by two-thirds.
In just one day, two-thirds of the artillery was lost, a figure that is simply unbelievable and unthinkable.
But that's the fact, the shells of the Chinese Empire are like having eyes, as long as this shell deviates from the target, then after a maximum of half a minute, the next shell will accurately hit the target, and the accuracy rate is a little crazy, and in the face of this result, many Russian soldiers have thought of suicide, which is too damn terrifying, right?
"Man, tomorrow morning, our army will officially launch a general offensive, and it is expected that this battle will be completely ended within a week." In the rear headquarters, Cao Kun said to the German military attache in China in high spirits.
The main reason for not rushing to launch a general offensive was to wait for the arrival of the German military attache in China.
The Germans finally agreed to the conditions of the Chinese Empire, but the conditions they gave at present were far from the value of the industrial mother machine system, so the Chinese Empire had to come up with more technology in exchange, and at the same time, they had to accept the German side to ensure that the power of the tank was really as terrifying as the Chinese described.
Although they have all seen it before, but after all, it is only the battlefield after the war, although it is shocking enough, but no one has seen a large number of tanks on the battlefield, besides, to put it mildly, let the infantry go up to fight first, and after the battle, it is still easy to leave some traces on the tanks sent to the tank, and it is still easy to make a fake scene.
The Germans had this attitude, and the deal would not take place until they saw the real battle scene, but the Germans also assured that the equipment they needed could be transported to the dock first, and once the deal was confirmed, the equipment could be loaded and shipped immediately.
"What?" Joseph was stunned suddenly, on the way here, he had already obtained some information about the front line, although it was not particularly detailed, but he also knew that the number of Russian troops surrounded in Borja was about 90,000, with a total of more than 600 artillery pieces, and the most feared thing by tanks was artillery, especially large-caliber artillery, and the wreckage of the three tanks seen by the international observation group was destroyed by the large-caliber artillery of the Russian army.
In Joseph's mind, although the Chinese Empire was at a disadvantage in terms of artillery, no matter what, this war should be fought after the Russian artillery was dealt with first.
The time required for a decisive battle is short and long, but the shortest, I am afraid it will take several months to completely end.
But now, the Chinese Empire has surrounded the Russian army for half a month, and the day after Joseph came to the front line, they are about to launch a general attack, and what is even worse is that the Russian artillery has not been completely destroyed, or controlled within the minimum threat range. This is not a rational decision for the military.
"Your Excellency General, before you completely destroy the enemy's artillery, I don't recommend that you launch a general attack, after all, the natural enemy of tanks is artillery, and the number of artillery in the Russian army is far greater than that of your army." Joseph calmed down a little, and then gave his advice.
Of course, his words are just suggestions, as for whether Cao Kun listens or not, it has nothing to do with Joseph, but it is certain that if Cao Kun insists on going his own way, which ultimately leads to excessive losses in the troops, then in Joseph's assessment report, there will be absolutely no advantage.
"No, believe me, after a day of our attack, the total number of artillery pieces of the Russian army will never exceed two hundred and fifty." Cao Kun smiled and shook his head, he had already obtained the statistics of the front line, and the credibility of this data was more than ninety-nine percent.
Because every time a target is destroyed, the guide in front will guide the artillery to attack the next target, and the guide also has a rough estimate of the attack target, 250 artillery, which is still the data after Cao Kun added 50 artillery pieces to the data reported.
"How is this possible? The Russian artillery did not launch a counterattack all day today, even if you know the location of the Russian artillery, you can't be sure whether to destroy the target, Your Excellency General, please forgive me, soldiers, you can't be so foolish, that's irresponsible to the country and the soldiers. Joseph said in a heartfelt manner, he could not believe that Cao Kun ordered the artillery to fight indiscriminately for a day to achieve such amazing results.
You know, the Russian army had no less than 600 artillery pieces before, if they can really do it, then who would dare to be their enemy in this world? Even if Russia is a vast country, it can't withstand such a fight, right?
"Hehe, this is another technique we have exchanged with you, and I can assure you that with this technique, no one will be able to stop your attack." Cai Yi smiled.
"Huh?"
"Artillery guidance technology!" Cao Kun said another technology added by the Chinese Empire, although it was very reluctant, but radio will be popularized in a few years at most, and although there is still a long way to go in research in Europe, as long as enough money and manpower are invested, research is still very fast.
Rather than holding on to the technology that will be announced in a few years, it is better to exchange it with Germany now as a condition, and even give some residual heat to the Chinese Empire.
"Artillery guidance technology? We also have this, but if the distance is too far, it can't be guided in time, and the timeliness is also very poor, and the target is several kilometers away, and even needs an array of people to transmit, and it is easy to be exposed. Joseph said with a frown.
Artillery guidance technology is not a new technology, and has been popularized in recent years, this technology can indeed help artillery improve the hit rate, but there are also many weaknesses, that is, the soldier responsible for guidance is very dangerous, like the current situation, at most is to guide one or two rounds of shooting, and then the guide hand will be discovered by the enemy, and then lose its effect.
The current guidance method is mainly transmitted through the flag, which is more limited by the environment and terrain, and if it is in a foggy day, it cannot be carried out at all.
"No, this technology of ours is not the kind of artillery guidance technology you know." Cao Kun immediately denied: "Man, I can guarantee that with this technology, the artillery can even know where his shell has landed, and it doesn't need too many people to participate, and this technology can also be used in other places, such as the next attack, I didn't announce the total specific time, but I can tell you very responsibly that once I give the order to attack, within ten minutes, the 100,000 troops deployed around Borja will attack." ”
"This ......" Joseph was a little puzzled, this doesn't seem to be difficult, it can be done by lighting a bunch of beacons.
However, before Joseph could refute, Cao Kun continued: "Our technology requires a set of key equipment, radios. It is to remove the wires of the wired telegraph, and then reduce the size of the telegraph, so that a soldier can carry the kind of equipment that runs around the world on his back, and only two guides need to touch it quietly, and then it can be used by radio to guide the artillery in the rear.
In addition, this kind of equipment can also be used in other aspects, for example, I have never been a communication soldier from the capital here, but for every instruction made by the capital, I can get it within half an hour, and every report I make, the capital can also know within half an hour. ”
"You've done your research?" Joseph was taken aback, as the German military attache in China, although his position and rank were not very high, he had also heard of the vigorous radio technology engaged in in Europe.
But it seems that they have encountered a lot of problems, so they have not been able to succeed in research, but now the Chinese tell him that they have succeeded in research and applied this technology to the army.
But how does this sound so unreliable? If all this is true, then why has it been so long that the outside world has not known anything about it? No matter how tightly you hide it, you can't hide it from everyone, right?
In fact, it is naturally impossible to hide from others when a large amount of radio is invested, but the military has the particularity of the army, so there is no need to worry about the secrecy problem in the army, and there is also camouflage on the part of local governments. For example, local governments have a cable telegraph room, but next door to this cable telegraph room is a wireless telegraph room, and even most of the cable telegraph rooms are just decorations, and the cables are only connected to a certain place outside the city, and then part of the garrison is arranged there, turned into a military restricted area, and then you can hide from the world.
"Yes, we used this technology in the Korean War a few years ago, and that's why we still defeated the Japanese even when there were logistical problems."
"Impossible, didn't it take you half a month to spread the news from Beiping to the battlefield back then?"
"Hehe, where is our army in half a month? If you are a little more concerned, it is not difficult to find out what is the speed of our troops' advance before making a decision? After the decision, what is the speed at which we are moving forward? And we're about to become partners, so I can tell you these questions directly, I was the commander-in-chief of that war back then, so no one knows some of these things better than me.
As a matter of fact, the half-month period was reserved for the advance of our troops, and I received the information when you had just negotiated.
If you think about it, if Germany also has this technology, then in the next arrangements, you will have a faster reaction speed than the enemy, and even the supply will be twice as fast as the other side. (To be continued.) )
