460 Poison gas smokes each other
Sell Nikolai hundreds of anti-aircraft guns, let him destroy a few more German tanks, and then William will buy more bulldozers to convert into tanks, which is the way an arms dealer does business.
Of course, in this case, it will be necessary to give the Germans some better bulldozers.
"It's a state-of-the-art bulldozer design, and you go back and let the workers produce it as fast as they can." Emperor Yang took a stack of drawings and said to the general manager of Great Wall Heavy Industries, whom he had summoned.
"Your Majesty, do we consult the customer's opinion first, sometimes they may have some additional needs." The general manager held a stack of design drawings of the Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle and said cautiously to His Majesty the Emperor.
"Of course, that's for sure, you go back and get a sample first, and then invite those customers to the test site individually, let them feel the performance advantages of this bulldozer for themselves, and tell them that this bulldozer is not only for sale, but also for the chassis to be sold." Yang Feng said with a smile.
"The minister understands, the minister will do it!" The general manager hurriedly smiled and withdrew.
Yang Feng only gave the appearance design of the 86-type infantry chariot, of course, there must be no turret, but although there is no turret, but an additional semi-enclosed machine gun fort, as for the internal design, there is nothing to worry about, Great Wall Heavy Industries has produced bulldozers for so many years, this kind of trivial matter they are very easy to solve, and Yang Feng did not ask how good the performance of this so-called bulldozer is, based on the kind of 150 horsepower diesel version of the bulldozer purchased by the Germans now, it is slightly modified, It's okay to make the layout inside more in line with the battlefield.
And with this power system. It is also fully capable of making tanks that meet the standards of World War I, you must know that the engine power of the little nomad is only one hundred and five horsepower, and it is also a gasoline engine. But the weight of the little nomad is more than eighteen tons, with the chassis provided by Yang Feng now, it is completely possible to make a heavy tank of the First World War standard, anyway, the British and German countries can only buy the chassis, and how to change them after buying it back is casual, with the chassis everything else is a small thing.
As for the anti-aircraft artillery for the Russians, this one is very simple. Not even three or seven millimeters are needed, of course, the main thing is that the three or seven millimeter anti-aircraft guns are easy to pose a threat to Chinese tanks in the future, and the two or five millimeters that the French have just developed will do. According to the design of PAK37, it is easy to change the caliber, and it is easy to manufacture it with the current Chinese artillery technology.
While this guy was studying how to sell war defense guns to the Russians and half-finished tanks to the Germans at the same time, Germany, Austria and Russia had already started a bloody war on the Vistula. Warsaw. Ivan Godero's two most important ferry cities immediately became the focus of contention between the two sides, and countless shells whistled across the sky, pouring mercilessly on these two cities, anyway, for the Poles, whether the Germans, the Russians or the Austrians, they didn't care much about their lives or deaths, and they didn't care about any humanitarian issues, just show firepower.
The German Ninth Army plus the First Division of the Eighth Army attacked Warsaw, and the Austro-Hungarian First Army attacked Ivan Godro. The Austro-Hungarian Fourth Army attacked Lublin north on the eastern bank of the Vistula.
However, at the same time, in order to force the Austro-Hungarian army to return to help, the Russian army launched a counteroffensive on the southern front with the superior strength of five army groups. In the counteroffensive, the Russians finally opened Pandora's box on the battlefield.
"Gas bombs!"
Lviv, on the defense line of the Austro-Hungarian Third Army that had just recaptured the city, as a series of yellow mist exploded, countless frightened screams suddenly sounded, and the Austro-Hungarian soldiers who were waiting to meet the Russian army in the artillery fire panicked to find their gas masks and buckle them on their faces, but unfortunately it was already summer, and their thin military uniforms could not resist the penetration of poison gas, and soon a large number of soldiers began to scream under the erosion of poison gas.
And at this time, the Russian army on the opposite side launched an attack, and the Austro-Hungarian commanders, who were already panicked, suddenly remembered the poison gas bombs they were equipped, in fact, this thing was in the hands of the front-line artillery, although there was the Beijing Convention, but it was ready to be used when necessary, now it is simple, since the Russians first used the gas bombs, then the Austrians naturally did not need to be polite, one by one the shells filled with mustard gas whistled across the sky and then exploded in the attacking Russian army.
Yang Feng's long-awaited poison gas smoke finally officially kicked off, but although the Austro-Hungarian army also used poison gas, it was unable to block the Russian army's counteroffensive because of the disadvantage in troops, and the newly recaptured Lviv was immediately captured by the Russian army, and at the same time, it was also broken through by the Russian army in other places. The Austro-Hungarian First Army, which was on the Vistula River, had to urgently move south to reinforce it, and the newly formed German Eleventh Army joined the battlefield, and the Austro-Hungarian Fifth Army, which was originally in Romania, also returned to Galicia.
At the same time, the German 10th Army, the Romanian 1st and 2nd Armies, a total of three armies, under the command of the German veteran Baron Golz, launched an attack on the 12th and 14th armies of the Russian army in Romania with superior forces, and the scope of the campaign was further expanded, and it has become a full-front battle on the entire Eastern Front.
Because the Russian army used poison gas bombs on the Galician battlefield, and then the German army also began to use poison gas bombs on a large scale on the Vistula battlefield, the Russian government angrily accused Germany and Austria of violating the Beijing Convention, and Germany and Austria accused Russia of violating the Beijing Convention first, but the Russian side defended that the Russian army used not mustard gas and phosgene, which were prohibited in the Beijing Convention, but a new type of poison gas that had just been developed.
Thinking of the situation that the Russian Empress and Yang Feng are in and out of China every day, it is difficult to guarantee whether this profiteer was coaxed by his old Qing people and took some new type of poison gas as a gift, of course, this matter must not be asked by Yang Feng, and it is impossible to admit it if he asked, but the countries have increased their intelligence reconnaissance efforts in this regard.
As for the use of poison gas on the battlefield, the Germans were dismissive of the Russian explanation, and I will say that you use mustard gas, and since you use mustard gas, then don't blame us for using this thing, the Germans continue to use gas bombs on the battlefield.
Especially on the Romanian battlefield, Baron Goltz, who almost single-handedly built the Ottoman Army, was even more unscrupulous in the use of poison gas, although he had the total strength of three army groups, but the combat effectiveness of the two Romanian army groups was pure scum, and only one of the 10th Army could really be used.
However, the two Russian armies opposite him were hastily formed after the start of the war, Nikolai didn't care very much about the life and death of the gray cattle, before getting China's arms, these two armies couldn't even do a rifle per person, let alone issue gas masks, in fact, less than a third of the soldiers in the Russian army had gas masks, and now Baron Golts, who had opened the way with poison gas, immediately herded the sheep.
The attack of the two armies of Dro was almost like a devastating one, and the progress was so smooth that even Baron Goertz himself could not believe it, and even the Romanian army, which was originally like a scumbag, broke out with amazing combat effectiveness in such a smooth battle, in the final analysis, it is now to re-liberate their territory, and the Romanians who played a momentum reversed the poor image of being chased and beaten by the Russian army when they started the war, but chased the Russians and beat them violently in the slogan of countering the invaders, coupled with all kinds of evil deeds during the Russian occupation, Now even those Romanian civilians have joined the ranks of the violent attack on the Russian army, and in just half a month, the Dro coalition army has entered Bessarabia in Russia.
It was also a Romanian settlement, but it was forcibly ceded by Russia during the Ottoman Empire, and now their own compatriots have come to meet their liberators, who were already dissatisfied with Russian rule.
The situation in southern Russia collapsed in an instant, Nikolai hurriedly transferred troops from the Galician battlefield back to defend Ukraine, and the Austro-Hungarian army, which had been overwhelmed by the Russian army, could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but at this time they were almost pushed to the position before the war began, but fortunately, this time the Austro-Hungarian army held on to the newly recaptured Przemyšl and sealed the door of the Russian army to Silesia, and at this time the battle lines of the two sides once again tended to stabilize.
The Germans continued their offensive on the west bank of the Vistula, raining shells on the east bank day after day, and the two major ferry cities of poor Warsaw and Ivan Godro endured the relentless ravages of blood and fire every day, and the Polish civilians who suffered from the fish became the main victims, and countless Poles had to flee their homes with the old and the young on the long road of escape, and thousands fell in starvation and disease along the way.
The Russians in the middle maintained an offensive on the Austro-Hungarian front, but they were never able to break through the Austro-Hungarian army's defense line in the Carpathian Mountains, behind this line is the Central European plain of Hungary, where the heart of Austria-Hungary is, even in order to prevent their hometown from becoming a battlefield, those Austro-Hungarian soldiers have to hold the last line of defense of their homeland, not to mention that the terrain here is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, backed by the military industrial base in Bohemia, where the Austro-Plenum army fought very calmly.
On the southern front, the Russian army hastily drawn from Galicia, together with a total of four Russian armies withdrawn from Romania, was in a stalemate with the Droz coalition here, but on the whole, the Droz coalition had a slight upper hand. (To be continued......)
