Chapter 2513： Application (1/2)
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, ready to land at any time. Major General Karls chose a location far away from the landing field, and it is impossible to enter the depth of the island from here, so the Japanese defense force will not high. Tomorrow, troops can be sent to open up positions. It is estimated that the engineering team can be stationed in the afternoon, and it will not be a big problem to spend another two days to create an artillery position.
what? What do you say if the Japanese artillery suppressed the newly opened positions? Don't worry, think about it. American artillery must have strong charges and a high elevation angle brought by a special turret to suppress the Japanese. The Japanese GPF194MM and 220MM artillery imported from France did not modify the elevation angle, so, Naturally, these additional artillery positions can't be hit, so as long as it takes three days, the Japanese long-range artillery should taste the depression of today's U.S. military. The opponent can hit himself, but he can't hit the opponent...
”In addition, the weapons among the opponents of the frontline officers and soldiers are also quite criticized. They think that neither the BAR machine gun nor the T1 tank is suitable for the current combat situation.” Major General Marshall whispered to Pershing. He did not seem to attract attention. On the one hand, because of this news, Pershing had been notified by telegraph before, but Pershing did not make a clear statement. Marshall naturally knew the terrible firepower continuity of the frontline officers and soldiers against BAR and The fragile armor of the T1 tank is very dissatisfied, but even so, it is impossible for him to cross Pershing and directly contact the Germans on related matters. He does not have this right.
In fact, long before the German delegation visited the US military’s light weapons display, many officers who had changed to German weapons had a lot of criticisms about the new BAR machine guns and Browning machine guns. These people had been in Europe in batches. Those who have been inspected on the battlefield, and even a few have participated in military operations. They have very high requirements for the continuity of the accompanying firepower. There have even been cases where the chief officer of the unit refused to accept the BAR machine gun during the change. .
In this case, the American solution is also very social... Those with heels and those with humans on them naturally retained a full set of German equipment, while those without heels were all replaced with US military weapons. Now, after entering the battlefield, the problem of the continuous firepower of the BAR machine gun has finally been exposed, and the Americans must also consider how to meet the demand for machine guns on the battlefield. The way is very simple, convince the boss, hurry up and order! Or you can buy a production license.
”Place the order first.” Pershing thought for a while and said.
”How much?” Marshall asked.
”3000 machine guns and accessories.” Pershing said.
”Then why don't we buy a production license?” Marshall was puzzled. The money to buy so many machine guns is enough to get the production line and license, OK?
”If there is no alternative, the United States does not like foreign light weapons.” Pershing whispered. Historically, before the Americans got up, they copied artillery from the French and purchased airplanes from the British. But who ever heard that before the end of World War II, American light weapons were purchased in large quantities from abroad? (Of course, the infantry weapons given to the United States by the French and British in World War I will not be mentioned for the time being. After all, there is really no way. After all, many American soldiers went to Europe empty-handed...) The things inside are too complicated. Therefore, it is not convenient for Pershing to talk too much to Marshall.
