Chapter 2513 Response 1

Can. "Major General Karls thought for a while and said.

The Americans are quite satisfied with this result. There are some 155MM heavy cannons in the fleet, which can be landed at any time. The location chosen by Major General Karls is far away from the landing site, and it is impossible to enter the depth of the island from here, so the Japanese defense will not be high. Troops can be dispatched to open up positions tomorrow. It is estimated that the engineering team will be stationed in the afternoon. It will not be a big problem to spend another two days to create an artillery position.

What? What do you think would happen if Japanese artillery launched fire suppression on the newly opened positions? Don't worry. Think about it, American artillery requires strong charges and high elevation angles brought by special gun mounts to suppress the Japanese. The GPF194MM artillery and 220MM artillery imported by the Japanese from France have not been modified in elevation. Therefore, Naturally, these additional artillery positions cannot be hit. Therefore, in just three days, Japan's long-range artillery will feel the depression of the US military today. The other party can hit itself, but it cannot hit the other party...

"In addition, the frontline officers and soldiers also criticized the weapons in their hands. They believed that neither BAR machine guns nor T1 tanks were suitable for the current combat situation." Major General Marshall whispered to Pershing. He did not attract attention. On the one hand, it was because of the news. Pershing had been notified through a telegram before, but Pershing did not make a clear statement. Marshall naturally knew that front-line officers and soldiers were concerned about BAR's poor firepower continuity and He was very dissatisfied with the fragile armor of the T1 tank, but even so, he could not bypass Pershing and directly contact the German side on relevant matters. He did not have this right.

In fact, long before the German delegation visited the US military's small arms display, many officers who had switched to German weapons had criticized the new BAR machine guns and Browning machine guns. These people had been in Europe in batches. Those who have inspected the battlefield, and even some who participated in military operations, have very high requirements for the continuity of accompanying firepower. There have even been incidents where some unit commanders refused to accept BAR machine guns when changing equipment. .

And for this situation, Americans' solution is also very social... The ones with heels and people on them naturally retain a full set of German equipment, while the ones without heels are all replaced by the US military's own weapons. But now, after entering the battlefield, the problem of BAR machine gun's insufficient firepower has finally been exposed, and the Americans must also consider how to meet the battlefield demand for machine guns. The method is very simple, just convince the boss and place an order quickly! You can also buy a production license.

"Place the order first." Pershing thought for a while and said.

"How much?" Marshall asked.

"3,000 machine guns and accessories." Pershing said.

"Then why don't we buy a production license?" Marshall expressed confusion. The money to buy so many machine guns is enough to buy production lines and licenses, okay?

"If there is no way,

The United States does not like foreign small arms. "Pershing said in a low voice. Historically, before the Americans got up, they copied artillery from the French and purchased aircraft from the British. But who has ever heard that before the end of World War II, the United States had a large amount of small arms from abroad? Have you purchased it? (Of course, let’s not mention the infantry weapons that the French and British gave to the United States during World War I. After all, there is really nothing we can do about it. After all, many American soldiers went to Europe empty-handed...) Things inside It was too complicated, so it was inconvenient for Pershing to say too much to Marshall.

As for tanks, the United States still has some Wolf tanks left in Hawaii, at least 300 of them. In the eyes of the Americans, this number of tanks is enough to deal with the landing battle on New Ireland Island. After all, this island is plain. The area is very small, and it is difficult for tanks to deploy. At this stage, they are only used as armored self-propelled artillery. However, considering that the army may have to compete with the Japanese in New Guinea or even Kalimantan in the future, Pershing still wrote a report personally, hoping that the U.S. government would order a batch of tanks and self-propelled artillery from Germany as appropriate.

Compared with guns, tanks are too complicated. It doesn't mean that you buy a license and then someone gives you a production line and you can produce them. How can it be that simple? Apart from anything else, Germany uses the metric system and the United States uses the imperial system. Well, even if the Americans want to produce, they must at least convert all the metric data on the drawings and equipment into the imperial system... ..

Then the produced products need to be run-in and tested. Not to mention if there is a problem in the middle, even if there is no problem, the process will take more than a year. After all, the German tanks are used in Europe, and the Americans want to use the tanks. Used in the Pacific! In Europe, the engine and gearbox of the Wolf tank do not have to worry about the humid and corrosive sea breeze. But it’s different in the Pacific!

This problem is difficult to solve even for the Germans who designed the Wolf tank... This is not just a matter of applying multiple layers of anti-rust paint. Due to climate problems, the engine's heat dissipation must be redesigned. The original heat dissipation system of the simple liquid-cooled engine was not enough. The Germans worked hard and added two cooling fans directly to the upper part of the rear engine compartment cover! However, the cooling fan also requires space and power. The engine compartment, which was originally not powerful enough in this era, was a little overwhelmed. So, the Germans once again worked hard and replaced it with the latest diesel engine, and then redesigned the pipeline layout. It can be said that, The entire power output system has undergone a major overhaul!

In addition to the engine, all other parts of the tank that may be affected have also been changed, such as the gearbox, the turret's rotating equipment, and even the fuses of the artillery shells have been adjusted according to the local environment. As a world-class industrial power, the United States actually wants to make improvements on its own. They know that German diesel engine technology is unparalleled in the world, and now more than half of the submarines in the U.S. Navy still use diesel engines produced under license from Germany in the previous generation.

So, the Americans decided to try equipping the Wolf tank with a gasoline engine... Well, now there is a question, why do Americans choose gasoline engines? First of all, the first point is that, to a certain extent, tank gasoline engines and airplane gasoline engines are the same! The aviation technology of the Americans is still good. After all, it has always been connected with Germany. There are also several mature aero engines. So, in this case, why not just change the mature aero engines into tank engines? So, as soon as they said it was done, the United States started work directly and built several test vehicles.
