Chapter 759: Sea and Land Have Always Been Enemies!
Anyway, there is such an Internet joke on Xu Jie's plane, a person posted a post about who is the biggest enemy of the Japanese Navy, and the answer is the Japanese Army! The reason is very simple, those horse manure of the army had to go to war with the Americans, and as a result, the whole of Japan was ruined, and they also grabbed resources with the Japanese navy, and they lost their own power, and they had to go to the navy to save face (the battle of Kuah Island). As a result, not only was the army's field smashed by the Americans, but the navy was also beaten by the US imperialists. According to the later generations, you said that the army did not bother to go to Siberia to find Maozi's trouble, but you were beaten once at Nomenkan and you were a chicken. Then he had to go south, and as a result, he provoked an even more unprovoked United States, and the game was all over.
Of course, this is just a joke, but the problem reflected in it is indeed true, that is, the contradiction between the Japanese navy and the army can be described as deep as the sea! In addition to not being able to directly use knives and guns to play real, all other means are used. However, this kind of contradiction between different arms of the armed forces is not only in Japan, but also in other countries, such as the stinginess of the British Royal Air Force towards the Royal Naval Air Force in World War II. For example, when the U.S. Navy engaged in piracy, it also required that a special bomb could be hung on the wing of the pirate so that it could fly over the heavy bombers of the Army Aviation and throw them down to blow up the bombers, so as to prove that the B17 of the Army Aviation was a group of waste, and so on.
At this time, when the material conditions were relatively scarce, the life was very monotonous, and the heart was very aggrieved, the Russian Army, which had originally lived in the prisoner of war camp, found that a group of naval personnel who felt good about themselves and always glanced at themselves from the corner of their eyes suddenly lived in the newly vacated houses opposite. The unhappiness in their hearts can be imagined, and many Russian army personnel originally felt that as the prisoner of war camps became more and more empty, their accommodation conditions could finally change. As a result, Kolchak came in with a group of navy, and he looked down on himself, and the Russian army, as an "aborigine", began to make trouble with the other party every once in a while, starting with two bottles of vodka from the other party, until the last female nurse who molested the navy. As a result, the direct consequence of this is that it immediately develops from heads-up to group fighting!
And this situation is getting worse as winter approaches. After the end of the war, most of the Chinese troops began to retreat, and the originally busy transportation lines began to gradually desert. Moreover, with the heavy snowfall, logistics and supplies are relatively scarce compared to the original, not that the Chinese Army cannot supply the garrison here and the consumption of the Russians. It's because the Russian government is too picky, and the food and living standards they set for these trainees are too low! The Russians gave little money, and the Chinese government could not use its own money to raise a bunch of prisoners of war, so these Russian officers and soldiers who participated in the training were miserable!
The daily diet of the soldiers of the Russian Army consisted of a variety of potatoes. Boil potatoes. Potato soup and baked potatoes, along with some brown bread, make up the staple. The officers' were better, and in addition to the fact that the standard was higher than that of the soldiers, they also had some personal belongings that could be exchanged for some food. On the other side, the Russian Navy is much better, Essen is really worthy of his subordinates, and gave them some of the remaining surplus wealth in the fleet, plus the salaries of the Russian Navy's overseas garrisons are already high, so the personnel of the Russian Navy are obviously much better. At least there is no shortage of various meats. And the result of this distinction naturally made the Russian Army even more angry.
In the eyes of the Russian Army, the Navy diverted a large amount of military spending from the Army, resulting in the weakness of the land combat force. And these well-fed and much more profitable Russian navies not only failed to win but surrendered in the end, which is simply a crime! And now, these masters from the navy are still so bullish, even if the treatment is better than that of the army, they still despise the army, which makes the personnel of the Russian army very unbearable. Eventually, this contradiction finally broke out, leading to a massive brawl across the entire POW camp!
In later generations, the Russians were known as a fighting nation, and the most important point was that the Russians had a very good physique, and this time the Chinese Army finally had the opportunity to observe the Russians fighting with "cold weapons" up close. Naturally, there are no knives of all kinds, and although the status has now changed from prisoners of war to trainees, most knives are still not allowed to be possessed in order to prevent accidents. And the Russians themselves have a way, they are very quick to dismantle part of the furniture and then hold a variety of angles and sticks as weapons, some Russians even hold nearly 10 centimeters thick wooden stakes as weapons, and the dance of the tiger and the tiger, so that the Chinese soldiers have to admire the Russian manpower is really big, although the scene is more bloody, but there are very few really serious injuries, you don't have to say, they also know the severity of the road.
Originally, Cai Ye was too lazy to take care of the bad things inside the Russians, but when things were big, if there was large-scale bloodshed, he would still be responsible for the aftermath, so under the threat of rifles and bayonets from the Chinese Army, these troublesome Russian troops were finally driven back to their residences, and they were not allowed to go out without permission, otherwise they would be closed and do labor, or they would be killed directly.
The high-voltage policy is not good. Cai Ye can't be locked up like a prisoner every day, and after some research, the Chinese officers came to a conclusion that these Russians are actually idle! Although it is not appropriate to carry out various training in the cold winter, it is not that the person is not suitable, but the equipment is not suitable, for example, as long as the car moves together, it cannot be stopped, otherwise the battery will immediately every point. However, it did not prevent them from systematically contacting the equipment and tactical training of the Chinese Army. So officers of all classes were pulled into the classroom for training, as for the GIs? They began to learn to disassemble and repair various weapons.
As for the issue of food and treatment for the army, this is easy to solve, didn't there was a cash-for-work system in ancient China? Now Cai Ye has also decided to adopt this method, first of all, the first point of the Chinese Army's arrangement for the Russian trainees is how to disassemble the weapons, how to maintain the weapons, and how to repair the weapons. Because the weapons of the Chinese Army are very different from those of the Russian Army, although the Chinese weapons emphasize durability and stability as much as possible, there is still a gap between them and Mosinagán. And in order to give full play to the performance of the weapon, the Chinese Army will be equipped with some additional things, such as optical sights and goniometers for machine gunners, as well as some emergency repair tools or something. The Russians' use of Maxine machine guns is not worthy of these weapons, and under the same conditions, the Russians' machine guns are obviously more effective than the Chinese Army.
At first, there were all kinds of guns and light mortars, which were more easy to maintain, and then there were various cannons and howitzers. If firearms are just a few dozen parts, which can be fully mastered by an individual after a period of study, then the subsequent maintenance of artillery and vehicles requires considerable foundation. Regardless of the personnel left behind by the army, it is said that they are all "elites" with relatively high quality and good culture. But that's also relative to their peers, and it's really hard to get them to start with mechanics.
However, this is also necessary, because the high attendance rate of the mobile units of the Chinese Army is largely due to the high-quality maintenance and logistics teams. Although the general level of education in the Chinese Republic is very low, the population base is large enough, coupled with the need to prepare for war, it can be said that a considerable proportion of domestic technicians are concentrated in the army. Coupled with the talents "introduced" from abroad, the Republic of China can ensure that all kinds of vehicles can fight with a high attendance rate. Now, the Russians must also learn how to maintain their equipment as much as possible to improve their combat effectiveness, after all, Russian industry cannot be compared with Germany, and every tank is very precious.
The performance of the army was very sad, but the navy surprised Cai Ye and others. HOW TO SAY IT, THE PEOPLE BROUGHT BY KOLCHAK, WHAT LEVEL OF WAR CAI YE CAN SAY, BUT THE LEVEL OF REPAIR AND COMMISSIONING OF VARIOUS ARTILLERY AND VEHICLES IS EVEN HIGHER THAN THAT OF CAI YI'S PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY THE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF 75MM RAPID-FIRE GUNS AND 120MM CANNONS USED BY THE ARMY CAN BE EXEMPLARY! In particular, the use and adjustment of optical equipment is outstanding!
Later, a Russian army well-wisher specifically asked a Russian naval officer why they were so familiar with these guns, even more so than the Chinese army that used them. As a result, the answer of the Russian naval officer, who was almost 30 years old, was very embarrassing to the army officer.
"Isn't this the 12-pounder gun used in the Navy, I've been tinkering with all kinds of artillery since I was 18 years old, and it's been 12 years now. I have been in contact with this rapid-fire gun for 8 years. THE RUSSIAN NAVAL OFFICER LOOKED AT THE ARMY OFFICER AND SAID WITH SOME CONTEMPT: "MANY OF THE ARTILLERY PIECES OF THE CHINESE ARMY ARE COMMON TO SEA AND LAND, AND THESE 75MM GUNS ARE NATIVE TO THE UNITED KINGDOM, AND THE RUSSIAN NAVY IS ALSO EQUIPPED WITH A LOT, SO WE HAVE LONG FIGURED IT OUT." I've been fiddling with this cannon longer than you've been a soldier, can I not be proficient? ”
During this period of time, the instructors of the Chinese Army also conducted a survey on the thousands of Russians in front of them, and had a more in-depth understanding of them, in general, this group of Russians can be divided into two kinds, the first is those who are relatively simple-minded, but the Russian Army with extremely developed limbs, I have to say that the difference in this race is big, purely from the point of view of physical fitness, the Russians are indeed the most suitable infantry, and it is absolutely right to describe these people with five big and three thick. But the level of knowledge is a little lower, and how to say it, things are too fine, and it is easy for you to let them charge, but it is really difficult to get them to shoot indirect fire according to the Chinese machine gun canon.
And the other kind of people are the Russian naval personnel, I have to say that in general, the quality of the navy is indeed higher than that of the army, and this is the case in all countries, and it makes sense that the navy was regarded as a noble branch in this era. These personnel carefully selected from the prisoners of the Russian Navy have absolutely high technical qualities, especially artillery qualities, which are much higher than those of the ordinary army. But the biggest problem is that these people are pure skills and logistics arms, you want them to take a rifle and rush up, if the two sides can mix, naturally very good, but in the current situation, the navy is the navy, and the army is the army. The relationship between the two sides is very much like the cold war in the previous life!
