384: Have a mechanized concept

Wang Sirui's biggest black technology is actually the mechanized infantry that has been leading the world for decades, but it is not easy to implement, even the Germans, the originator of mechanized infantry, did not reach the level of 100% mechanization at the end of World War II, at most it is semi-mechanized.

Although Wang Sirui's ideals are very good and ambitious, it is obviously impossible to achieve this in a short period of time.

And Wang Sirui's lowest goal is to at least achieve semi-motorization when World War I breaks out.

Motorization is the last step of mechanization, the two are very different, and it is easy to confuse the concept in later generations, in fact, if we want to achieve complete mechanization, then the existing establishment of the army must also be disrupted and reorganized, and the intensity of reorganization will be much greater than the previous integration.

"A tank engine can only be used for 300 hours at most, and then it will have to be overhauled, 300 hours, at the speed of the tank, how long can it be used? If it really comes to wartime, the amount of ten hours a day will only be guaranteed, then it will only be guaranteed for one month.

And how long does it take to overhaul an engine? Even if it is fully equipped, it will take at least a week, and if you have these trailers, the tank will have more time to fight, have you ever wondered how many infantry will lose more if the tank appears on the battlefield for an extra hour? Wang Sirui asked lightly.

This time, he called a few of them to come over to visit the tank trailer, not to show them off or anything, but Wang Sirui found that these generals under his command did not have the concept of mechanized infantry in their minds at all.

Even the concept of motorization does not exist, so what is so many trucks for? The reason for the artillery was to transport ammunition, transport artillery, to save time on the march. The infantry used the same reason, they only used the trucks to reduce the fatigue of the troops, which was equivalent to giving them a machine gun, but they used it as a rifle.

Even these high-ranking generals don't understand, how can they make the officers and soldiers below understand? Do you have to equip them with 100 points of equipment and end up performing at 50 points, or lower?

In other words, the empire now has money in hand, and although there are many places to spend, if it really wants to equip the whole army with enough trucks, it can still be done by gritting its teeth.

But in that case, the oil is a little tight, and now all the domestic oil comes from imports, all of which were imported by the Wang family a few years ago while foreigners were not paying attention.

However, after all, the amount imported by the Wang family is limited, just the current mechanized equipment, in just one year, it has consumed half of the oil imported by the Wang family, so Wang Sirui has always had a headache about the oil matter, the empire has the ability to equip so many trucks, but it is not able to feed so many trucks.

And these generals under their command are also a little unenlightened, the trucks equipped by each unit, except for the baggage team, the rest are not used as carriages, they squander precious oil, but they have not been able to come up with a training effect that satisfies Wang Sirui, so Wang Sirui is very angry.

"The future war will be a joint war, and although there is a clear distinction within our army now, there should still be no less cooperation. Trucks can be equipped for you, but you must come up with an accurate and effective plan, equipped with trucks, in order to maximize the combat power of the troops, not to make you as lazy as possible. According to your current thinking, the infantry can do it just by wasting some time, and if only for that, why should I equip you with these trucks? Only equip them with baggage divisions, as long as you can ensure your supplies, will the troops be different and be able to win the battle? Speaking of this, Wang Sirui paused slightly, and then continued:

"You are my senior generals, if even you can't change your mind, and still stick to the old tactical thinking, then how can the Imperial army become stronger?

The purpose of equipping trucks is to make the troops achieve suddenness and efficiency, and now you have let me see suddenness, but what about efficiency? What I saw was exactly the same as the tactics of a few years ago, artillery bombardment, infantry rushing, artillery bombardment playing infantry rushing, infantry rushing after artillery bombardment, such tactics can be used by anyone, what about the advantage of the empire? What did the empire spend so much money for?

The separation of infantry and artillery is only to allow you to concentrate more on training and strive to ensure the highest level of business, but the essence is to be able to combine the best artillery with the best infantry to form a coordinated operation of infantry and artillery.

But in reality? Artillery forgets the infantry, the infantry forgets the artillery, and because of the separation of the infantry, they are engaged in separate battles, where does such an army have combat effectiveness? ”

The army was made like this by them, although it looked very strong on the surface, Wang Sirui was still very angry in his heart.

Wang Sirui mainly learned the lessons of the Führer's failure, so he will not interfere too much in the army, but hopes that the military generals can innovate independently and change the old ideas and concepts.

But Wang Sirui ignored a reality, not to mention mechanization now, even cars are very few, and there is no such concept in the world's ideology, so how can you do that?

Even in Germany in later generations, in order to engage in mechanization, it took more than ten years of intensive development to barely achieve semi-mechanization, Wang Sirui because of the advantage of predicting history in advance, as long as he grasps the general direction, the time will definitely be shortened.

Although the technology is not excellent, but now everyone is the same, Wang Sirui knows what is useful and what is not, so he can save a lot of time and money, and use the money for useful places, which is the biggest advantage.

But now, the facts tell Wang Sirui that he has to stand up and intervene, and if he continues like this, he will only waste more time and will not have any effect at all.

Being reprimanded by the boss, no one will feel very happy, and more importantly, they don't feel that they have done anything wrong? Although it is not perfect in some coordination, but as far as the current situation is concerned, except for the artillery that cannot keep up with the suit, the performance of the infantry is still very good.

It's just that they didn't expect that they were facing the Japanese army that lacked heavy weapons before, and once they faced the Russian army in the future, what kind of situation would it be?

There is no shortage of heavy weapons in the hands of the Russian army, although there are not many machine guns, but there are not many kinds of artillery, why does Wang Sirui have a three-year preparation period? Isn't it just to make sure that the artillery will not fall behind?

"War, the most important thing is time, we can transport soldiers and artillery to the front line by truck, but when it comes, how do we deploy it? Where should the infantry and artillery get off and prepare for the attack? How much time can I attack after getting out of the car, and how much time do I have to make a certain progress? Have you considered any of these?

In the short term, neither the army nor the artillery will get a truck, or even a drop of fuel, and they will come to me when they figure out the problem. Wang Sirui said with a straight face.

Subsequently, Wang Sirui looked at his confidant Cao Kun, Cao Kun's previous performance had been decent, but in the Korean War, Wang Sirui saw his bright spots.

Therefore, Wang Sirui also plans to cultivate Cao Kun.

'Why don't you transfer the 101st and 102nd armored divisions back to form an armored corps?' Wang Sirui suddenly thought.

The armored division has been formed for more than a year, but because there is no suitable officer candidate, the armored division can only be trained in a decent manner, and the real combat effectiveness is not yet guaranteed.

Although these two armored divisions have been pulled out for exercise, at most they have been used to the feeling of a long march, and their combat experience is equal to zero.

However, it doesn't matter, Wang Sirui has already selected a new chief officer for them, although he is a little rough, but he has a very good appetite for Wang Sirui, and these guys have also let Wang Sirui personally train for a year, and as long as these guys hear the order, they will never dare to resist, and they will not even dare to have the idea of violating the order.

These people are no one else, it is Li Yunchang, Ai Kun and Xu Jie, who were transferred back from the Korean battlefield by Wang Sirui.

Although these three guys disobeyed the order at the beginning, they also made Wang Sirui angry at that time, and even wanted to execute them directly, at least they could have the effect of killing chickens and monkeys.

But after calming down, Wang Sirui immediately dispelled this idea.

Because the three of them did it in North Korea is basically a simple version of the blitzkrieg, if they are given a complete armored division, Wang Sirui doesn't even doubt that these guys will really make a blitzkrieg.

And the best way to hasten the outbreak of World War I is to surprise the great powers, show their strength, make the great powers afraid, and then be forced to constantly invest money in the army.

It is not enough to have a military competition with one navy, but also to involve the army. And because the Chinese Empire has already made certain achievements in this regard, if the great powers want to rapidly expand their strength, they can only come to the Chinese Empire.

As for the powers themselves to study, Wang Sirui did not doubt this at all. But can you guarantee that no one will come to the Chinese Empire? As long as one comes, others will definitely come.

So the question is, who is most beneficial to break out in World War I? Of course, it is the Chinese Empire, Wang Sirui is thinking of learning from the United States, and at the same time stabbing the Russian old Maozi in the back, if nothing else, just for those oil fields in Siberia, Wang Sirui also stabbed the old Maozi fiercely.

Although the development of the army has taken some crooked paths, fortunately, there is still time, they still have less than two years, and if there are no more mistakes, time is still enough. (To be continued.) )
