Chapter 934 The Europeans Are Really Rich
"But before that, I hope your country can provide 150,000 trained or reserve troops to participate in a battle we will be in three months, which will not be held on the Western Front." Campbell is ready to pull the Japanese into the future Dardanelles Battle!&1t;/p>
"And this fleet must be transported by the Japanese Navy. This is our bottom line, it cannot be changed or discussed. There are only two options: agreeing and opposing." Campbell stared at the other party, his tone was unusually firm!&1t;/p>
"Okay, let's settle it like this first." After hesitating for a few minutes, Katsutaro finally nodded and agreed. As for the subsequent drafting of the treaty and signing, he didn't need to ask about it. When he thought of the Japanese Empire's territory more than doubled in his office! Katsutaro felt a little fluttering. "It seems that I was the one who brought the empire to its peak." After the meeting, Katsutaro wrote without any concealment in his diary.&1t;/p>
For more than a month, the Japanese army on the French front has not been so relaxed. Even though there are many veterans and officers who participated in the Russo-Japanese War, and even officers who participated in the Lushun offensive and defensive war. These people who were quite arrogant before boarding European lands now know that they are Tusen! On the real world's top 6 battlefield, Japanese talents have realized that the first-class European powers have become accustomed to using steel tonnage and firepower to "communicate". The so-called "Yamato Soul" is worthless in the face of firepower like a volcano eruption! Of course, the process of understanding this is very tragic.&1t;/p>
"The French are pretty good. Although we are a guest army, the infantry weapons we gave us are all very good." said the officer under the opponent who was very satisfied with the 1911 Shaosha light machine gun in his hand.&1t;/p>
The father of this Japanese major is Meiji noble. His father, Masato Tarunuchi, was once the governor of the North Korea. With the power of their family, he could completely make him seek a high position step by step. However, the eldest son obviously did not want to do this. After several struggles, Tarunuchi Tarunuchi, who had graduated from the six major Japanese universities, got a chance to come to the European battlefield. This time, for him, it was a completely curious baby who came to the Grand View Garden. The moment he stepped onto the French territory, he realized how terrible the accumulation of European powers over the past hundred years was!&1t;/p>
Although the 6th Japanese Army of Japan tried hard to strengthen the firepower of infantry machine guns during the Russo-Japanese War, in general, an infantry company had less than 2 machine guns! And now? After coming to France, the French representative first said sorry that because of the shortage of supplies, there would be fewer machine guns and other continuous fire weapons. He asked in a tentative tone, how about equip each Japanese company with 6 light machine guns...&1t;/p>
"Well, 6 pistols?! 6 pistols!" Teraunuchi never expected that one day his army would have such powerful firepower! You know, a Japanese infantry squadron had 18o people, probably a company of troops. By the time of World War II, an infantry squadron had only 6 machine guns, and a 54-man team had only about 2 machine guns. And now it is far inferior. Even if the most NB existence of the Guard Division was one company, three light machine guns and one team was one, the French actually gave them twice the machine gun! This was still in the case of insufficient number of machine guns. How rich is this tm!&1t;/p>
What about the actual situation? The French did withhold some arms, because in the normal French company, one company was equipped with 12 Shaosha light machine guns (this is a historical fact). In theory, one squad and one... In fact, whether in terms of equipment or tactics, the French offensive infantry in this plane have begun to revolve around the machine gun!&1t;/p>
In terms of heavy machine guns, the Japanese also abandoned the Maxine machine guns used in the Russo-Japanese War. They also chose the French Hodgsky M1911 heavy machine gun. The reason is very simple, because they have found that the Maxine machine guns used in China require a lot of cooling water when used. According to the Japanese experience, an average of 2O bullets will be steamed out of thin air. Although there is a condenser to collect fresh water and can be reused, this is too cumbersome after all. Moreover, even if there is a condenser, it still needs to be added to the additional cooling water. Sometimes there are even 2 machine guns to keep firing, and then a soldier from a company collects the kettle to deliver water...&1t;/p>
The Japanese suddenly discovered that the French machine gun could continue to shoot without cooling water! This was perfect for the Japanese. Although the French told the Japanese that this machine gun could not be cooled by water only when it was 2oo shots per minute. But the Japanese didn't care. After all, in history, they deliberately lowered the shooting when imitating the Hodgsky machine gun.&1t;/p>
(In history, the French Hodgecas machine gun fired not low in 1 battle, and the shooting ranged between 4oo and 6oo. Although the bullet plate also used to supply ammunition, there were also cases of 25o and a half-moving movable chains connected by several bullet plates. Therefore, it is not a big problem for Hodgecas to achieve this shooting, while its Japanese imitation only has the bullet plate supply ammunition, and the actual shooting is below 3oo.)&1t;/p>
Another advantage of the Hodgekas machine gun that the Japanese value is that it is stable, solid and durable. During a firepower display, Soichi Teraunai saw a Hodgekas machine gun shot at 15o to 2oo per minute. It took more than an hour to shoot out more than 10,000 bullets, but there was no malfunction! The Japanese who had hardly seen good things were immediately excited. Soichi Teraunai said loudly: "It's him, this is the weapon we dream of! Weapons that can shoot continuously at the appropriate level!"&1t;/p>
The only thing that made the Japanese feel a little dissatisfied is that the weight of this French machine gun is a bit too large. The body weight is 24 kg, and the huge French tripod weighs 3 kg. If it is not counted as bullets, it will cost 55 kg! The French have not deducted the machine gun company that the Japanese have.&1t;/p>
An infantry battalion can be equipped with a heavy machine gun company. This company consists of 2 officers, 10 non-commissioned officers, 180 people and 60 horses. It is equipped with 8 Hodgecais m1911 heavy machine guns, including 5 people who are responsible for the machine gun and one team leader, responsible for commanding the entire machine gun team and setting up positions. The main shooter is naturally responsible for combat, and the three deputy shooters are auxiliary and substitutes. In addition, a large number of ammunition players are required.&1t;/p>
Under normal circumstances, the French suggested to the Japanese that an infantry battalion was equipped with three infantry companies and a heavy machine gun company. That is to say, a Japanese infantry battalion could have 8 Hodges machine guns and 18 Shaosha light machine guns!&1t;/p>
