It would be extremely amateur and irresponsible to take a weapon and compare it with that of an opponent. For example, the 150 mm towed howitzer that the German Wehrmacht artillery unit is now equipped with, if you simply compare the performance, it is actually inferior to the same type of artillery in other countries.

In terms of range, German artillery was inferior to the American 155 and Soviet 152-caliber guns, and under the same conditions, the charge of the shells fired was also less than that of the two enemy guns. So if only performance is discussed, then German artillery has been fighting with backward weapons and equipment.

However, this 150 mm caliber towed howitzer was unanimously praised by German officers and soldiers. Because of the sacrifice of combat performance, this kind of artillery has a large number of reduced dead weight, easy to tow, is a weapon tailored for the German army that has not completed mechanization for long-distance travel.

This artillery could even be towed by horses, and it accompanied the German armored forces all the way forward, allowing the German artillery units to keep up with the advance speed of the tank units, providing effective artillery support for the panzergrenadiers - although the Germans often suffered losses during artillery battles, it still could not change the status of this artillery as the mainstay of the German artillery units.

On the one hand, this was due to the problem of the ability to maneuver to accompany the armored forces in combat, and on the other hand, because a large part of the German support firepower had already been entrusted to the air force attack aircraft.

On the other hand, after the Air Force attack aircraft shared a large number of artillery tasks, the various types of assault guns equipped with German grenadier units also took on part of the artillery support tasks. These assault guns can accompany infantry attacks, providing more timely and direct support.

It was precisely because the Luftwaffe was able to break down the enemy's defenses, destroy the enemy's artillery positions, and disrupt the enemy's rear deployment before the offensive was launched, and because the German assault guns on the battlefield were able to clear the enemy's pillboxes and directly cover the infantry attack. If this kind of artillery is placed in France, Britain or the Soviet Union, the United States, it is obviously a very garbage weapon, but in the hands of Germany, it shows the special production of blitzkrieg support weapons.

It is also because of this that for a long time, Germany's firepower was seriously affected in rainy weather. In the entire support system, because the air force planes could not be dispatched, the shortcomings of the artillery immediately appeared, and they could only get caught in a bitter battle with the enemy. This phenomenon is a good illustration of the shortcomings and powerlessness of a single weapon once the system is broken.

So to the same analysis, the Stuka 2 attack aircraft equipped by Germany has been recognized by the world as the best ground attack aircraft in active weapons. It is characterized by being sturdy and durable, and the speed is not fast, and it can repeatedly hover over the battlefield to provide timely and stable battlefield support.

However, if you look at it alone, this kind of aircraft uses a low-horsepower cheap engine, because of its own weight and engine limitations, the air maneuverability is not very outstanding, and the characteristics of dive and pull up are not even comparable to Stuka. However, because it is cheap and reliable, it is still widely used in Germany.

If this kind of aircraft is taken out to talk about performance, it can only be said to be a "flying" aircraft, and the performance is not outstanding or even a little backward. However, this aircraft immediately became easy to use because the advanced fighters of the Luftwaffe completely mastered air supremacy. The slow-flying characteristics become advantages, and the advantages of reliable and cheap design and easy manufacturing are infinitely magnified.

Therefore, many weapons actually perform very average in terms of performance data, but they are still not to be underestimated. On the other hand, a weapon that may seem very powerful is not necessarily a panacea that can change the course of war simply by equipping it.

The AK-47 assault rifle looks formidably powerful, but if it were installed in World War I, it would have been a disaster for the soldiers, with trench warfare generally having rifles ranging more than 800 meters, while the AK-47 had a range of only 400 meters. The result of the reluctance is that these soldiers with strong firepower can only be suppressed by the opposite side and cannot raise their heads.

Similarly, because the MG42 general-purpose machine gun developed by Germany was so easy to use that it covered up its own shortcomings such as lack of stability, the Wehrmacht was still not equipped with a decent heavy machine gun. The heavy machine guns left behind by the German units were either captured or old supplies that had been mothballed before.

Coming from a later life, Accardo was a time-traveler who built the German army into the strongest possible force according to what he knew to be, and in the process, he truly realized how difficult it was to implement the dream of a "strong army".

Realizing the mechanization of the army as much as possible and improving the mobility capability of the troops has resulted in the fuel consumption of the troops rising to a terrible level; equipped with a large number of automobiles, tanks, airplanes, and artillery, and so much advanced equipment has greatly improved the training and quality of the troops, and the soldiers have become more and more valuable and increasingly unable to be easily replenished; and the detailed methods have been used to enhance the troops' firepower and strike capabilities, so that the troops can quickly break through the enemy's defenses, which has directly led to an increase of several times and dozens of times the troops' ammunition consumption.

Therefore, what needs to be innovated is not the front-line combat units, but also the ability to exploit resources, the production capacity of the rear, the transportation capacity of the state, the overall quality of the population, and the mobilization capacity. And if these capabilities are counted, it almost represents the comprehensive national strength of the entire country...... To put it bluntly, it is to improve the whole country.

In ancient times, when I was fighting, I sharpened my knife and put dry food on my back, and I set off. Such a force may collapse at the touch of a button, but defending the city or holding a personal field can definitely be regarded as sufficient. In modern warfare, every soldier must be trained to master the use of complex weapons in order to become a new soldier. However, those low-quality units that have been temporarily requisitioned and armed have had their combat capability compressed to a record low, and they even have no independent combat capability at all.

So Accardo knew that after his troops reached a historic 7.5 million, Germany had exhausted the last shred of its war potential and had become a downright militaristic state. His army could not afford to fail, because if it did, he would simply not be able to expand and replenish it again.

And after General Bock was ordered to transfer from the General Staff and form Army P, the last German army, there would be no further expansion of the German army, and the whole Reich would remain 16 armies until victory or defeat.

The troops at the front, of course, did not know that their Führer was so devoted to them. These brave soldiers simply knew that if they defeated Stalin in a few months, then they could go back to their homes and enjoy a rare Christmas.

So they stuffed one shell after another into the chamber of the artillery, then closed the bolt, pulled one heavy cannon after another, and fired hundreds or thousands of tons of shells into the city of Moscow. There was smoke at this moment, and the burning flames even reflected the sky red.

The war has opened a bloody prelude, so on the long front, there will be countless kinds of fighting. While the German Navy was firing at the enemy in the depths of the ocean, the German Army was also feeling the artillery fire on the long eastern front. Everyone's life has been changed by this damn war, and now all they have to do is kill.

Next to a collapsed chest, German soldiers leaned against the rubble and smoked quietly, having just experienced a desperate fight to nail their positions firmly to a number of low-rise buildings on the outskirts of Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union.

The two sides fought fiercely here, and the ruins were littered with corpses in gray-green Wehrmacht uniforms and grass-green Soviet Red Army uniforms. They have all shed their blood for their country, and now they can only be part of the ruins, witnessing the final ownership of this land.

Maybe God doesn't exist, maybe He does, but He doesn't shine in every corner of the world. At least in this land, people do not feel God's protection, and people can only rely on themselves and try their best to survive in the rain of bullets.

"Rush!" A Russian command from a distant ground position shattered everything that had been calm. All the Germans set up their weapons on the bunkers they had just leaned on, and pointed their cold muzzles in the direction of the enemy's attack.

There, a group of Soviet soldiers were jumping out of their trenches, rifles in hand, running frantically. They were going to storm the bunkers of the Germans and drive them back to where they had been a few hours earlier. These soldiers shouted the slogan "Ula" and launched a ferocious assault without fear of death.

"Fire!" With the command of a German officer, a German MG42 machine gun hidden in the ruins began to fire violently, tracer bullets cut a straight line, and flew into the distant crowd. Blood began to splash, bullet-shattered rubble and masonry everywhere, screams and shouts of Ullah came and went, and for a moment the calm battlefield boiled like boiling water.

A German assault gun slowly showed its hideous face in the rubble, aiming its 75 mm caliber gun at the charging Soviet infantry, and with the roar of the artillery, the smoke of gunpowder suddenly filled the air. The German soldiers returned fire even more violently, with long guns and short guns joining the chorus, and the Soviets falling en masse, a scene that lasted until calm returned to the battlefield.
