Although the Soviets finally matched the firepower projection on the Eastern Front after some hard work. +◆, it is undeniable that because the mortars have a shorter range and the Soviet howitzers have a smaller caliber, the effective range of the firepower projection is

It will also be too small, so these artillery must be pushed to the front as much as possible if they want to be effective, and being close to the front line means a huge threat, so Husu

The losses of the Union's artillery will also be relatively large. Of course, these are all about medium-caliber artillery and cheap mortars. Therefore, in order to make the artillery of more than 100mm in hand work as much as possible, it is necessary to localize it as much as possible.

To gain advantage, the Soviet Union chose to concentrate a large amount of supporting firepower on higher formations, and this situation also adapted to the actual situation of the Soviet Union.

In this dimension, Russia lacks large-caliber cannons and howitzers more than in history. It is even unable to produce a 152mm long-range cannon with excellent performance. The original technical system has been destroyed.

The inability to mass produce is another aspect. The result of these two reasons together is that the Russians have been unable to produce 8-inch grenades.

There is almost nothing in terms of guns and cannons over 6 inches. Not only are army-level artillery strictly restricted, but even 100mm-level long-barreled cannons are also strictly restricted. This is not to say that the technology is not good, but because of the current Russian economy.

It is difficult to equip this kind of artillery on a large scale due to the high level. The cost of these things is relatively high, and China cannot provide them in large quantities at this stage.

As in history, the Russians still relied on mortars to make up for the lack of firepower. A large number of mortars. These weapons have simple structures and low costs. They have excellent firepower projection. But soon, the Russians discovered a serious problem

Problem. They couldn't find enough direct firepower when formulating the plan. Although the support firepower assigned to the infantry by the Russians in history was almost all mortars, it did not mean that the troops were attacking.

It lacks direct firepower. For example, the 122mm howitzer and even the 152mm howitzer equipped on various isu and su tanks. These things are the kind of things that are much better at fighting bunkers than fighting tanks. And the types of shells

In World War II, Soviet tanks had more grenades than armor-piercing shells. But this problem no longer exists in this dimension. The Russians lack enough howitzers, even more than in history!

Faced with this dilemma, the Russians responded simply. Without saying a word, they asked China if they had a large number of infantry artillery that had been relegated to the second line. This kind of projectile projection quality is similar to that of a howitzer, but its muzzle velocity is horribly low and its range is very short.

The only advantage compared to mortars is that they can shoot flatly. And if they are equipped with armor-piercing shells, they can theoretically fight against the opponent's armored units at close range. So the Russians decided to pack it up

Almost all of China's infantry artillery inventory was cleared. Then they installed various chassis on these artillery. The 75mm infantry cannon was placed on the truck, while the 150mm infantry artillery was placed on the Chinese Type 26 tank chassis.

On tanks. These provided the Russian troops with relatively reliable frontline anti-bunker firepower in later wars. Later, the Russians also began to mass-produce these infantry guns.

In terms of armored forces, Russia is also very different from the past. Compared with the huge number of Russian armored forces in history. (Well, the quantity has increased, but the quality cannot be guaranteed, whether it is product quality or various combat vehicles.

The composition ratio. The t34-76 is no better than the German long-barreled No. 4, and the actual performance of the t34-85 and is1,2 is not as good as the Leopard) The Russians have lost the ability to equip tanks on a large scale. The same technology and industry

The reason.Russia

At this stage, the Chinese can only rely on China to obtain tanks. This is different from the historical tactics of drowning opponents with a large number of medium tanks. In this dimension, the Russians cherish every tank they have, whether it is a light tank or a medium tank? As for heavy tanks?

Tanks? Sorry, so far China has no plans to provide Russia with the Type 29 tank, although this tank is ready to be classified as a medium tank in the Chinese arsenal. At this stage, China has no idea of ​​letting the Russians take charge.

In terms of aviation equipment and tactics, the Russians also abandoned the historical idea of ​​focusing on the needs of the army. In the final analysis, this is still the scarcity of air force combat aircraft. Historically, almost all tactical activities of the Russian Air Force revolved around ground combat.

.Fighter units must ensure the safety of attack aircraft. They must not enter or exit the combat zone at will, nor pursue distant targets at will.

The enemy planes that went away. The ground attack aircraft units must cover the ground operations at all costs. Even the attack aircraft with strong defenses like the Il-2 were guided by this almost rigid tactical thinking and were carefully prepared by the German air force and ground anti-aircraft artillery units.

The fight was quite miserable. The Il-2 is not only the most prolific attack aircraft in the world, but also the one with the most deaths...

What's more, China has more restrictions on the equipment it provides to the Russians in the air force. On the one hand, China does not want to hand over the best aviation equipment to the Russians. On the other hand, it is difficult for the Russians to maintain these high-tech equipment.

Not to mention, the Russians cannot guarantee pure aviation fuel. The aviation fuel used by Chinese aircraft is generally labeled as 100130 grade. And Russia

Local aviation fuel is generally 93 grade, which is almost the same quality as in history, but it cannot meet the requirements of Chinese aircraft. It does not mean that it cannot be used, but that it will have an impact on the performance and life of the aircraft. It is inferior.

Fuel will damage the engine, and if you ask the Russians in this plane to overhaul an engine similar to the R2600, it will be really difficult for them.

Not to mention anything else, the Soviet Union in history was much stronger than Russia in this dimension, but its aero engines are still not as good as Germany. Needless to say, liquid cooling, the Germans are not even afraid of American imperialism on mass-produced aircraft. In terms of air cooling?

Although theoretically the Russian ASH-82FN engine is on the same level as the German BMW 801, the former is not as stable as the latter. (The early BMW 801 also had overheating problems, and it is said that the latter still had problems in the later stages.

Thermal problem...) If the German aircraft are relatively poor at mid- and high-altitude, then the Soviet aircraft can only be described as very poor at mid-altitude. (The MiG-3, the first generation of magic aircraft, was indeed good at high altitude when it appeared. That is because

It is a specialized high-altitude aircraft. It is very bad at mid- and low-altitudes. The author believes that whether an aircraft's pressurization system is excellent or not should depend on the breadth of airspace they are suitable for. Simply high-altitude nb does not mean anything, and it is not practical.)

In this dimension, China's land-based fighter jets are mainly based on the British Morin and Griffin engines. It is indeed difficult for the Russians to maintain such a tall thing. As for the main air-cooled engine in the future, the R2600

Not to mention the R2800 engine. The latter can be called b

The existence of the UG class. In addition to technical problems, the training and reserve of Russian pilots is also a problem. Historically speaking, the Soviet Union's ability to obtain air supremacy on the Eastern Front in the late period did not rely on aircraft production, and it had nothing to do with the quality of pilots, but because

Britain and the United States eventually exhausted the elite Luftwaffe on the Western Front.

Therefore, the Russians should not think about letting the air force help the army clear the ground. The Russians do not have so many planes, and they do not have that many pilots to send to the opponent's anti-aircraft artillery. The scarcity of equipment makes the Russians have to take the route of elite troops. Therefore, they were selected

The Russian pilots who emerge will enter China's air force academies to study, and the content of their studies is mainly air combat. The Russians

The requirements are very simple, to ensure our own air superiority as much as possible. The mission of the air force is only air combat and cover. Ground attacks will be put aside for now. At the same time, the Russians will also receive a small number of twin-engine aircraft, most of which are

It will be a night combat aircraft that will also take into account ground attacks. As a big country, it is simply unimaginable without night air defense capabilities.

Therefore, the engine currently used by the Russian Air Force will be the relatively low-end R1830 class. The performance of this engine is very poor, and the F4F and others equipped with this engine are definitely not as good as the BF109 using DB601. Not to mention compared with the later FW190

, however, this single-exhaust-cooled engine with a simple structure is the most suitable for the current Russian production and technical level.

.So China provided Russia with the technical data of this simple engine so that Russia could form its own air force. Of course, in addition to these low-end aircraft, China can provide some high-end aircraft to the Russian Air Force stationed in China. After all, the former

It is for Russia's technical reserves and to ensure the basic number of aircraft for the Russian Air Force, which is to prepare for the Iran war.

China does not interfere much in terms of light weapons and infantry equipment. On the one hand, the Russians have not fallen to the level where they cannot even manufacture light weapons. On the other hand, the Russians do not pay much attention to light weapons. In their view, since everyone is the same

Use bolt-action rifles. There is not much difference between Mauser and Mosinagan. As for submachine guns, the Russians also believe that their PPS is stronger than the German MPs. After all, they hold more ammunition. The structure is simple and not easy to break.

.

As for machine guns? Whether in history or now, the Russian DP machine guns are not as good as the German mg series. The Russians can get this kind of machine gun through China. But considering the firing rate of the mg machine gun as high as 1,200 rounds per minute.

and therefore

Due to the ammunition pressure problem, the Russians finally decided to continue to use DP machine guns. And compared to the Germans, who had one machine gun per squad, the Russians were not so generous. This kind of machine gun was positioned as a company-level machine gun. Ordinary infantry squads

It's impossible to have.

The Russians have never given up their efforts to rebuild a complete military system. After receiving secret assistance from China, they began relevant work, starting with the most basic mortars, then infantry guns, anti-tank guns, cars and tank engines

, armored steel, optical instruments, to relatively high-end electronic equipment and aerospace engines. Although the things they obtained are somewhat behind the times, for Russia now, these things alone are enough for them to digest for a period of time.
