Chapter 1 Reorganization of the Troops

Thanks to the two evaluation votes of the book friend Zizai Mountain. In addition, I kneel here and beg for various tickets. Thank you all for your continued support.

Below is the text.

Feeling the rather quaint atmosphere emanating from those buildings in the city of Real, Zhang Shixin looked at the passers-by and residents around him speechlessly, because his current team even felt quite strange to himself.

It can be said that a teenager who looks like he is in his twenties, with a vote of teenage children, walking on the street, is quite eye-catching.

Although it can be explained by the teacher's travel with the students, do not forget that Zhang Shixin is a Chinese, and his appearance characteristics make Orientals in Spain, a rather xenophobic place, obviously not very popular.

Spain in 1936 was not like the Franco-era economic explosion and the Spain that followed, with a rather tranquil atmosphere. It's quite confusing here. At the political level, in particular, the Second Spanish Republic implemented a large number of anachronistic policies, such as disarmament, agrarian reform, and suppression of Catholicism, which deprived Spain of a solid foundation for ruling Spain. It can be said that the Spanish Civil War, in fact, was more attributable to the erroneous policies of Spain.

Through Odin's communication with an aunt who sells bread, Zhang Shixin learned that it was less than a day before the outbreak of the station in Spain within three years, that is, on July 18, 1936.

When the sun rose, three years of war broke out, involving most of the people and land of the country.

But Zhang Shixin's current focus is not on the next war, but on finding a place to settle down.

Although it is said that a civil war is about to break out in Spain, it is obviously not a good thing to have a large army in another country for no reason.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin could only equip all personnel with self-defense weapons, and then entered Real City.

At the same time, Zhang Shixin also has some things to worry about, that is, although his historical mission was forced to be canceled due to a teleportation error, he also had to complete the historical task when he appeared here.

And the two culprits also suggested that he needed to do something.

That is, to seize the upcoming German Condor Corps, equipped with BF-109 fighters.

Although the BF-109 has a mixed reputation, it is undeniable that it was the most conspicuous fighter in the early stage of World War II.

In particular, the BF-109G, in the air of the Eastern Front and the British Channel, what it played was to harvest the killing of the opponent's air force.

However, it should be noted that due to the limitations of the surname, the average casualty rate of the BF-109 crew members is also quite high, and there are also bad reviews of "widow makers" among the German army. (The three "widow makers" of World War II were the German BF-109, the Soviet Union's Lager-3, and the Zero fighter.) )

Many of the casualties among the crew members of the BF-109 were caused by the short range and the fact that the crew returned after a fierce battle and ran out of fuel.

The lag-3 is a very poor surname, and even experienced aviation troops cannot guarantee that they will not lose their surname because of this problem when they fly the lag-3.

The Zero fighter is too weak in defense, and because it has become the first choice for special attack aircraft, the pilots of the Zero fighter in the later stage are dead. (PS: It's better to be ten dead...... )

As for why the BF-109 was targeted, something that was almost completely out of step with the tank, the main reason was that Sinia upgraded the system to be able to produce aircraft and develop additional capabilities for subsequent models.

Therefore, the BF-109B/C that appeared in Spain became Zhang Shixin's target.

Unlike army equipment, the production of aircraft requires ready-made drawings or physical objects. Therefore, Zhang Shixin set the target on the BF-109B/C.

Although the difference between these two models is relatively large compared with the later improved models, in July 1936, the only thing that could compare with this thing was probably the British Spitfire, which had also completed the prototype version not long ago. But as opposed to diving into the UK, it's much more convenient to fish in troubled waters in Spain.

Thinking of this situation, Zhang Shixin had to look at the two "twins" who were dressed similarly, and he doubted in his heart whether his appearance here was an intentional arrangement between the two.

However, regardless of this situation, for Zhang Shixin, how to accomplish this historical task is the primary issue.

……

Although the target was on the German Condor Army, Zhang Shixin had no idea of helping Spain [***] and the international column.

Because Zhang Shixin knew that with the Franco forces, which were called rebels, the Second Spanish Republic was already doomed to defeat early, and secondly, what these people did was also despised by many people.

Although many people say that during the Spanish Civil War, the attacks on churches, the theft of the tombs of the Spanish kings, etc., were all done by Franco's rebels.

But Zhang Shixin was noncommittal. After all, Franco's troops also have a lot of uneven existence, but according to the policy of a political axe, I am afraid it should be more of what Spain [***] did.

At the same time, although the international column had such a noble character as Bethune, in many respects, the international column at that time, among the Spanish civilians at that time, was a rogue army with no military discipline to speak of. (The book "Heroes of the Soviet Union" does not mention this situation, perhaps because the author has a better opinion of the Red Soviets.) )

Although there may still be a common people's resentment against the Second Spanish Republic, a government that is unpopular with the people, even with the help of angels, is no different from accomplices in the eyes of the people.

After all, it is also inevitable that not only Barcelona, but also many areas captured by Franco's forces, the local population has erupted with considerable enthusiasm.

Therefore, in this context, Zhang Shixin was reluctant to help the Second Spanish Republic, because he did not want to see many things that he did not want to see and could not help but turn against the so-called friendly forces.

So, since it's not helping Franco, it's not the [***] people who help Spain. The path that Zhang Shixin can choose now is to go it alone.

However, the problem that needs to be solved now is not only the need to find a suitable place to live, but also the weapons of which country he should use.

Historical missions are different from the otherworldly system, and historical missions restrict Zhang Shixin from using the heavy weapons that appear on the belligerents.

That is to say, Zhang Shixin is more familiar with the Soviet system weapons, German system weapons and Chinese system weapons (the advanced coefficient of C series weapons is too high, and they have been locked in the mission system. In this mission, don't think about it.

Until now, there are no good things in British weapons, and Zhang Shixin doesn't look down on turtle crawlers with good defense, but mobile surnames and weak shell lethality. Crusaders and things like Cromwell continue to be locked by the system because of the year of appearance. In the absence of effective means of air defense, the turtle crawler became more of a target for the Air Force.

The heavy equipment of Ben can be used, but those broken things with no defense at all, appear on the battlefield of Spain, and it can be said that they will die worse than the Churchill series.

The only thing left is probably American-style heavy weapons.

However, Zhang Shixin also found a very serious problem, that is, although American cars do not limit the M3 "Lee" to the same level of models (and then restrict, American cars can only use broken cars such as M2, although the M3 "Lee" and M4 "Sherman" prototypes are about a year apart, but it is good to give the protagonist a way to live. But the M3 "Lee" can actually be regarded as a lighter, although it is not as famous as the M4, but it is also true.

After all, the hardware layout of the two has a lot to do with each other, so it is difficult for the M3 "Lee" to get rid of the name of lighter.

The French car was also not considered, because the French car of this period was also a turtle climbing car, B1 to AMX40, which was called by the German army on the Western Front at that time "cannonballs hit and became a stepping stone".

While the defense is good, it can't get rid of the god-like speed limit of the infantry tank.

As for firepower, this question is not too big, because the complete body of the two is quite a threat to the tank forces of the Spanish Civil War.

It's a pity that when there are so many planes in the sky, the impact of this speed is not the number of enemies killed, but how many tanks can survive after the war.

It can be said that Zhang Shixin thought about his configuration along the way and found that the battlefield of the Spanish Civil War had a considerable impact on him. Because he can say that he can't show his advanced equipment.

As for why the No. 4 tank could be used in the battle at Xifengkou, the explanation given by Sinia is:

"Home Effect."

Zhang Shixin suddenly felt that countless grass and mud horses were galloping in his heart again.

It's just that there is not much time left for Zhang Shixin now, and Zhang Shixin has to think about what kind of configuration he should adopt to deal with the battle that will take place.

In fact, Zhang Shixin also knows very well that if he moves closer to one side, then at least he can get the system to unlock the discount of Soviet or German models.

But Zhang Shixin didn't choose this, because he knew very well that his target was the BF-109 of the Condor Legion, and he naturally wouldn't cooperate with Franco.

As for some problems in Spain, Zhang Shixin abandoned his plan to cooperate with them.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin can only rely on some equipment that can be said to have little or no advantages to arm himself now.

In Zhang Shixin's eyes, the characteristics of a single system can be said to be very impractical. However, in contrast to this situation, the models that mix several systems are still quite guaranteed.

There are only a few heavy tanks, and basically you can not think about it, either you can't use them, or the speed is too slow.

But for Zhang Shixin, the T1/M6 heavy tank is a pretty good choice. In terms of firepower, it is even capable of carrying 90mm-m3 tank guns. (The whiteboard m6 in the game should be t1e3.) )

However, Zhang Shixin chose a slightly different M6.

And this one is slightly different in that the engine of this M6 is an improved version of what should have been a T1E4 diesel engine.

For an M6 heavy tank of about 50 tons, Zhang Shixin knows very well that the strong power exerted by the diesel engine is better than that of the gasoline engine. Although that gasoline engine was used in airplanes.

But at the same horsepower, the actual thrust provided by a diesel engine is much better than that of a gasoline engine.

More importantly, diesel has a higher flash point and combustible temperature than gasoline.

(Flash point English name: flashpoint definition: the fuel temperature when the fuel oil is heated in a container with a specified structure and volatilized gas is mixed with the air near the liquid surface, and can be ignited by Mars when it reaches a certain concentration.) Petroleum products, flammable products with a flash point below 45 °C, such as gasoline and kerosene; A flash point above 45°C is a combustible, such as diesel. )

This means that in the case of the same hit, the probability of flammability of a diesel engine is a little lower than that of gasoline.

However, the diesel engine is not without disadvantages, that is, the ultimate speed of the diesel engine is slightly slower than that of the gasoline engine.

It can be said that the diesel engine is a type of engine with good acceleration, but the extreme speed is slow. The gasoline engine is the other way around.

But for the T1/M6 heavy tank, which makes Zhang Shixin shake his head at its top speed, the acceleration is a little better, but the survivability of this tank will be a little better.

The choice of self-propelled guns is relatively large, M7 "Priest", "Bishop" and other models of self-propelled guns, are considered a good choice, the only regret is that these self-propelled guns, more self-propelled mortars, the range is very close.

Of course, there are no rapid-fire howitzer options, for example, the LEFH1888 self-propelled rapid-fire howitzer modified from B1 in the game is a good compromise record.

But inheriting the B1 turtle speed, Zhang Shixin also didn't have much interest.

Long-range howitzers have a pretty good choice, that is, the T6/155 self-propelled howitzer, the official number of this thing, is M12.

It can be said that the system restricts the year, but it also gives Zhang Shixin a loophole that is not a loophole.

The self-propelled artillery of the United States,The reviews received are quite good,Although the game is more synonymous with nerve cannon (personally deeply reflected,This series of artillery sometimes,A game down,Even splash out a certain amount of damage,Ten shots and ten hits can happen,After the revision, it is no exception,But sometimes,Ten shells go out,Mao can't catch a single one...... Khan), but the power of American artillery proves that this thing can be said to be a guarantee of quality in Zhang Shixin's eyes.

One of the shortcomings of the M12 is that it has historically fallen apart when it is shot on the move......

Although it is said that the system has improved this problem, Zhang Shixin knows very well that the use of self-propelled guns as assault guns is itself a waste of shells, a waste of life, and a waste of opportunities.

The choice of self-propelled guns was also quickly determined,

Close support artillery, the "Bishop" self-propelled gun was chosen. The long-range howitzer is the M12.

Although Zhang Shixin was not very willing, he had to deny that a medium tank was a better plan than the M3 "Li" among the things that Zhang Shixin could choose now. At the same time, Zhang Shixin didn't mind blocking himself...... Because the European powers did not dare to make trouble with the Americans at this time, but for themselves, the European powers did not pay attention to them. (Before Pearl Harbor, this was the case.) )

At the same time, although it is said that the "International Agreement on Industrial Production" has not yet been signed at this time, if at this time, there are obviously things in Spain with a foreign style, Zhang Shixin can imagine how interesting this situation would be.

In terms of light tanks, Zhang Shixin had no better choice, originally he was inclined to the American M5 series, but was locked by the system.

Zhang Shixin had to look to other series, and he soon found a fairly good alternative, which was the Crusader cruiser tank.

In the Spanish battlefield, in addition to the weakness of defensive ability and paper paste, the Crusader light tank was very mobile, and the firepower was able to deal with the tanks that should have appeared in this civil war, indicating that the combat efficiency of the Crusader tanks fully met Zhang Shixin's needs.

If it weren't for the fact that he was going to add to the blockage, Zhang Shixin would not mind replacing all the tanks in the type with Crusader light tanks.

After all, the purpose of a light tank is not to be completely combated, and the firepower is enough to deal with some enemies.

Compared with the Crusader light tank, there are many models of the same level that are better, but Zhang Shixin can only salivate now.

In his opinion, the German "Loli Leopard" was at least a star and a half ahead of the Crusaders in that respect.

Armor protection is even better at more than one level, but unfortunately, the Crusader cruiser tank is the best choice that Zhang Shixin can find.

In addition, Zhang Shixin had to vomit a little bit that the system actually used the symbol of a medium tank for the mark of a medium tank. In fact, it weighs between fifteen and sixteen tons.

"It's exactly the same as the game, can't you mark an LT?" Zhang Shixin was speechless and vomited in his heart.

In terms of TD, there are not many better options, Zhang Shixin chose the T40 tank destroyer.

Although the R&D plan of the T40 was only proposed in 1942, the chassis of the M3 "Grant" was used in this product, which made Zhang Shixin drill a loophole again.

The reason why Zhang Shixin took a fancy to this thing was that the T40 could actually change the type of artillery it carried into a tank destroyer or an assault gun. The T40 equipped with a 105mm short-barreled howitzer is an assault gun, and the tank destroyer equipped with a cannon gun is a tank destroyer.

In addition, fortunately, this product is TD, otherwise, Zhang Shixin really doesn't know what will happen to this product when he charges on the front line.

The gasoline engine, the open warhead, and the armor protection of various parts that are no different from the papier-mâché all these factors indicate that the battlefield survivability of this cargo is inversely proportional to the distance close to the front line. In other words, the closer the cargo appears to the front line, the easier it is to be destroyed. It is even possible that one grenade killed the entire car group.

……

After Zhang Shixin sorted out the general construction plan of the troops, he came back to his senses and found a problem, that is, he had not found a place to live until now.

Looking at the "little child" behind him, Zhang Shixin had to say that he really did something wrong this time.

However, at this time, he found himself standing outside the church in Ciudad Real, where several nuns of different ages were looking curiously at him and the people behind him.

Zhang Shixin didn't know that this time, he was caught in a bond with the Spanish Catholic Church...... (To be continued.) )
