Third Reich: I took over power

"Your Excellency, in the future the Imperial Army will continue to adopt the old-fashioned organization of group armies, corps and divisions for the establishment of infantry divisions and above. Or just cancel the military level?"General Bromberg asked.

Some generals believe that the corps level can be retained, but many generals believe that there is no need to retain the corps level.

With the improvement of communication technology, communication is becoming more and more important. It is becoming more and more convenient. Through wireless telegraphy, the group army headquarters can accurately issue orders to division-level units and even lower regiment-level units. There is no need to retain corps-level units. This makes command and management flatter. ization.

In this case, it will help improve combat efficiency.

Hess himself is also inclined to abolish the establishment of the army level.

The staff officers of the Third Reich Army are very capable, and the staff departments at all levels can designate detailed operations Plan. Can assist the commander in conducting command work.

"Let’s abolish the military-level establishment. The basic units are infantry divisions and armored divisions. During wartime, infantry divisions and armored divisions are mobilized to form a group army. Each army group can have between 200,000 and 300,000 people. If two or more armies need to form an attack in a certain strategic direction, then form an army group!"Hess said.

The Army Group of the Third Reich Army is equivalent to Lao Maozi's front army.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Governor!"Admiral Bromberg replied

"By the way, how is the progress of the development of the heavy artillery I requested?"Hess asked.

Hess asked the Army to develop a heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 200 millimeters as a powerful artillery at the army level.

In another time and space, the Third Reich did not have such artillery. This also made the third The Army of the Three Reichs had a very difficult time facing Lao Maozi's B4 heavy howitzer on the battlefield. They often relied on powerful air combat forces to destroy Lao Maozi's B4 heavy howitzer.

If the Third Reich Army could equip a same model Artillery, or even artillery with stronger performance, will undoubtedly further enhance the army's powerful firepower

"Your Excellency, the Krupp factory has already started research and development, and the progress is going very smoothly. It is expected that research and development will be completed next year and mass production will begin."Admiral Bromberg said.

Hess nodded. He believed that with the military and scientific research strength of the Third Reich, it would be no problem to come up with a heavy artillery that could rival the B4 heavy howitzer.

"How does its performance compare with Lao Maozi's B4 heavy howitzer? asked Hess.

"Your Excellency, the performance of our heavy artillery completely surpasses Lao Maozi's B4 heavy howitzer."Admiral Bromberg seemed very confident.

The B4 heavy howitzer weighs 15.8 tons, and the tracked gun mount weighs 11 tons. It uses a heavy tractor as the chassis, which can provide the artillery with limited maneuverability. It can be said that it is installed on A monster on a tractor. At the same time, the rear of the gun frame has auxiliary wheels for traction, and the traction speed is 15 kilometers per hour. The

B4 heavy howitzer has a caliber of 203 mm, a maximum range of 17.5 kilometers, and a gun fire rate of one round per minute.

This The power of this kind of artillery is so terrifying that it caused the troops of the Third Reich in another time and space to suffer a lot on the battlefield, almost to the point where talking about the B4 heavy howitzer makes them pale.

This artillery was also used by the soldiers of the Third Reich Call it 'Josef's Hammer'!

In contrast, the Third Reich's heavy artillery, with a caliber of 210 mm, uses the chassis of a Wolf tank as the artillery chassis, is self-propelled, weighs 24 tons, and has a maximum range of 20,000 meters, with a rate of fire of two rounds per minute.

In terms of range and rate of fire, the Third Reich's heavy artillery surpassed Lao Maozi's B4 howitzer. Even its self-propelled capabilities on the battlefield are far more powerful than the B4 heavy howitzer. powerful

"This heavy howitzer can be codenamed 'Hammer of Hess'! I would like to see if the 'Hammer of Hess' is more powerful, or the 'Hammer of Joseph' of Lao Maozi."Hess said with a smile.

"Lord Consul, of course the 'Hammer of Hess' is even more powerful!"The generals of the army are very confident.

Regarding the heavy artillery of Hess Hammer, it is designated as a heavy artillery directly under the group army. It will be organized as a heavy artillery brigade. Each heavy artillery brigade has 6 heavy artillery battalions, each equipped with 18 210mm heavy howitzers. In this way, one brigade has 108 guns.

On the battlefield, if the Third Reich Army gathers one or more such heavy artillery brigades to launch an attack, it will definitely be fatal to the enemy. Threatening. This will allow the Third Reich Army to have more powerful firepower on the battlefield.

Even in the future, when fighting Lao Maozi on the plains of Eastern Europe, they will be able to rely on these artillery to defeat the blitzkrieg and divide and surround them. The old man was dealt a heavy blow.
