Imperial Overlord

All the weapons equipped by the German Armed Forces are now basically tested in actual combat. From individual weapons to heavy equipment, the reliability is amazing.

Today, the Mauser 98K bolt-action rifle has been scaled down. Now this kind of weapon is basically produced for the second-line troops, and it is rarely shipped to the front line as a weapon for the main force.

You must know that the scale of the German armored forces is quite large today, and the newly formed mechanized infantry divisions are also equipped with a large number of Stalker tank destroyers.

These Stalker tank destroyers, which can be used as half a tank, provide strong support for the infantry, and also drastically change the firepower structure of the infantry.

During the First World War, the longer the range of the weapons equipped by both sides, the better. It was not until the middle and late stages of World War II that everyone pursued the ability to pour firepower.

The reason for the fundamental change is the popularity of armored vehicles. Now that the German army has completed the large-scale popularization of armored forces ahead of schedule, the firepower requirements have also changed.

In September 1941, the German arms production department provided 40,000 STG-44 assault rifles to the front line, a number that added two STG-44 assault rifles to each of the more than 20,000 infantry squads of the front-line field troops.

At the same time, in September 1941, the German army also replaced 20,000 G43 semi-automatic rifles for the front-line troops, which further increased the individual firepower of the infantry squad.

At this moment, the main force of the German front line, such as the original G group and the current Guderian B group, most of the troops have about 4 STG-44 assault rifles in each infantry squad.

Together with the G43, each infantry squad now has only 4 to 5 people using the Mauser 98K rifles that were originally commonly used by the German army.

If you count the soldiers carrying the ammunition boxes, the launchers equipped with the Iron Fist rocket launchers, and the MG-42 machine gunners who support the team's operations, almost all of the frontal combat personnel in an infantry squad have used STG-44 and G43. Two weapons.

In addition to the MP-40 and MP-38 submachine guns that have not been eliminated completely, the automation ratio of weapons in the German infantry squad has reached or exceeded 70%.

This kind of progress can almost be compared with the US military two years later. At that time, the US military relied on the M1 Garand rifle, which can barely be regarded as surpassing the current German army.

It is worth mentioning that the German army not only has obvious improvements in weapons, but also has made great progress in the details of individual equipment.

At the time of the war in 1939, the standard soldier equipment of the German army was the Y-strap, which had a mediocre ability to carry items.

Nowadays, the German army has almost all changed into H-shaped tactical vests that are more in line with mechanics, and there are various preset pockets on them, which are very useful when fighting.

In addition to the H-straps, the Germans also have a new type of backpack. This kind of design similar to later schoolbags is very popular with the German army.

On the whole, the German army's armed belts and backpacks have also crossed from leather products to the era of canvas - only at the bottom of the backpack, wear-resistant leather is used as a reinforcement material.

So many rucksacks are produced by textile factories in Poland, France and Italy. The main force of production is the countless labor camps in Poland where labor is almost free.

With a large number of prisoner-of-war laborers who had to work in exchange for food and drink, the German textile industry developed horribly.

Although the profit is meager, the number of orders for front-line troops is staggering - the army alone has placed 4 million sets of terror orders.

Unlike backpacks and straps, German military boots have begun to develop in the direction of leather, with a more intimate lace-up design and a more avant-garde and practical shape. The new military boots are very popular with German soldiers.

The chemical industry has developed rapidly because of the almost unlimited supply of oil. The rubber, which had to be used carefully before, has also become a cheap material.

Farben Group's profit figures are getting bigger and bigger, and various factories are working overtime around the clock, and they have not been able to fulfill the terrible figures on the order.

German synthetic rubber, which has poor wear resistance and cannot fully replace natural rubber, is widely used on the soles of military boots, further increasing the output of German military boots.

It is not only rubber products that have been cheapened, but also plastics, which were once very expensive. This new type of material has appeared in a large number of applications and entered the lives of civilians.

After a year of development and change, the German army is not the same as it was in 1940. They are equipped with camouflage smocks, comfortable suspenders and backpacks, and use more powerful and advanced weapons.

With the increase in the density of infantry firepower, the German offensive capability has also developed to a terrifying level.

Today's German armored forces often launch a coordinated attack of more than 30 or even 50 tanks. The dense and powerful firepower often penetrates the Soviet defense line at one time~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The reaction is reflected in the actual combat. The German army in Ukraine is on a tear – although most of the reason is that the Soviet army has lost its fighting spirit, the firepower gap between the two sides has further widened, which is also a reason.

In the first half of 1941, the German rear industry produced a nearly limitless variety of fabrics for the front line, including parachutes for paratroopers, canvas for the Navy, camouflage nets for the Army, and more.

At least in terms of the Army, the industrial production of the entire Third Reich is thriving, and even the total amount of material production is higher than that of the United States at this moment.

According to later statistics by historians, the production capacity of Germany, which integrated European industrial capacity, or the entire Axis group, reached more than 30% of the world's total production capacity around September 1941.

In the same period, the United States still accounted for at least 45% of the world's total production capacity. However, the gap in industrial strength between Germany and the United States is shrinking significantly.

This number is not accurate, but it reflects the situation that people cannot ignore. Despite the heavy losses on the Pacific battlefield, the United States is still the world's first industrial power that cannot be shaken.

After the Axis countries brought together Germany, Italy, Romania, most of France and most of the United Kingdom, they still could not surpass the United States in terms of total production capacity, which has to be said to be a pity.

However, I have to admit that, with the full support of the head of state Li Le, as well as the agricultural development of Hess and the backing of oil resources in various places, Speer, the master of co-ordination, has narrowed the gap between Germany and the United States to an acceptable level. Degree.

At least from the perspective of production capacity, Germany finally has the confidence to fight the United States, and the world pattern has finally been shaken.
