Such cheers continued until an Ork 130mm caliber howitzer shell fell, stirring up a cloud of gravel and then stopped.
The brief excitement made the soldiers of the Qin army forget that they were still on the battlefield - now, the orcs' artillery fire reminded them and made them aware of the danger that was close at hand.
The Qin army and the orcs have recently replaced a lot of good things, and the combat power of both sides has also increased alternately, which makes people feel frightened.
Cyric sold a lot of 130mm caliber howitzers to the Orcs: these artillery pieces were old models that other countries did not want, and the production lines were recycled and sold directly to the Orcs.
At the same time, the Maxim heavy machine guns that had been eliminated by various countries, as well as a large number of Cyric Type 1 bolt-action rifles that could not be traced out at all, and 70 mm caliber mountain cannons, all appeared in the Orc army.
As long as you are interested in investigating this matter, you can easily know that countless rifles, bullets, artillery shells and artillery, and even tents, gauze, underwear and socks, all landed at Nanshan Port in the southern part of Chu State, across Chu State and Shu State.
, shipped to the orcs.
It is a pity that the intelligence department of the Qin State, which is relatively conscientious and responsible, has always kept secret on this matter. They have never investigated the Nanshan Port of the Chu State, as if nothing happened there.
The orcs obtained all kinds of weapons and equipment they desperately needed from this smuggling line: without the strong support of the Cyric Consortium, they might still be using flintlock guns and muzzleloader cannons.
In just one year, the Orcs obtained bolt-action rifles and new artillery that they had never dared to imagine in the past, and even purchased the astonishingly powerful Maxim heavy machine gun.
At least the orc troops on the front line were strengthened with new weapons. They also began to learn to dig trenches and build defense lines, quickly improving their combat effectiveness.
The orcs even formed their own air force and hired some human pilots as instructors to learn how to fly planes.
Cyric sold all the biplanes he had made that could no longer be sold to the orcs. This business allowed Cyric to earn an astonishing amount of wealth.
This is why Orc planes appeared near the Western Wall defense line and started an air battle with the Qin Air Force.
After having their own aircraft, the Orcs also began to learn aerial reconnaissance, making it no longer easy for Qin to launch surprise attacks.
Having tasted the sweetness, the Orcs are actively looking for sellers to sell bombers. Once they successfully buy bombers, the air battle near the Western Wall defense line will become even more bloody and tragic.
Of course, the Qin soldiers also got what they wanted: Tang's Thompson submachine guns, sufficient ammunition, and various Tang army standard weapons and equipment.
For example, there are 75mm caliber infantry guns, 105mm caliber howitzers, and even 155mm caliber towed howitzers.
What's even more exaggerated is that in order to recover some costs, the Tang State also sold self-propelled howitzers modified from the No. 2 tank chassis to the Qin State. These outdated weapons and equipment were of little use in the hands of the Tang Army, and they could only be used to increase the number of logistics troops.
trouble.
The chassis of the No. 2 tank is actually completely outdated. The Tang Army now has a better and more comprehensive chassis of the 113 armored vehicle, and the chassis of the No. 4 tank is also outdated. There is no need for small beans like the No. 2 tank at all.
However, these modified self-propelled artillery are completely different in the hands of the Qin army. They are in urgent need of such weapons and equipment, which can allow them to explore their own experience in using self-propelled artillery.
New weapons provide new concepts. If you don't try them yourself and accumulate experience in using them, you won't know the key and you won't be able to accurately master the know-how.
The Tang army had Tang Mo as a guiding light, but the Qin army did not - they could only experiment on their own or learn from Tang's military advisers.
It costs money to hire Tang Jun's military consultant, and the other party may not really be able to teach you all the tactics of undermining the enemy, so Qin Jun felt that it would be more appropriate to explore on his own.
Of course, in addition to dumping these outdated junk, the Tang army also provided the Qin army with some truly good things.
Take the Type 113 armored vehicle for example: before the Orcs bought tanks, this type of armored vehicle was enough to provide armor protection for the Qin army and establish sufficient armor advantages.
If the Qin Army needs it, Tang Mo can also provide the Tang Army's second-hand No. 4 tanks - these tanks equipped with short-barreled 75mm guns are still very useful in some cases.
Although they are actually outdated, many people are still willing to pay for them because of the Tang Army's invincible aura.
The Tang Army is gradually phasing out the No. 4 tanks in its possession, and they really have no way to continue using them.
In terms of protection, these early World War II tanks with hatches everywhere on all sides and insufficient armor thickness no matter how thick they were were no longer able to meet the needs of the Tang Army's armored forces. They were unable to siege a city and could hardly fight with the enemy.
Army tank combat.
Speaking of firepower, the Tang Army's heavily equipped No. 4 tanks all use short-barreled 75mm caliber low-bore pressure artillery. Not only do they not have enough armor-piercing capabilities, the upgrade path is not smooth either: the long-barreled 75mm cannon
The Tang army also looked down upon the artillery.
Coupled with the power that is not outstanding, the No. 4 tank has now completely become a cow lady, a pitiful person who no one cares about and no one loves.
After the Panther tank entered service, a large number of No. 4 tank chassis were modified into assault guns and self-propelled artillery. In fact, various armored units also used No. 4 tanks as assault guns.
The No. 4 tanks eliminated by the tank force were either directly thrown to the infantry to fill the vacancy of the No. 4 assault gun, or they were placed in the newly established second-line armored forces as training vehicles.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although it has not been completely eliminated, there is indeed no need for development and upgrade of the No. 4 tank.
This thing is not considered advanced to begin with. At a time when technology in various countries is developing, its performance indicators can no longer allow Tang Jun to maintain his technological advantage.
The plan could not keep up with the rapid changes, and the tank version of the night vision system, which had not yet been officially installed, became the standard equipment of the Type 59 tank.
The Panther tanks that were originally going to be equipped with night vision devices were directly abandoned: when the number of new 59 main battle tanks equipped by the Tang Army is sufficient, these Panther tanks will be sold to the buyer who pays the most.
Both Qin and Shu expressed their intention to purchase No. 4 tanks, which is good news for Tang. But the bad news is that Tang will not be able to produce so many new weapons and equipment in a short period of time to replace these No. 4 tanks.
The factories in Tongcheng were once again operating at full capacity in non-war conditions. All workers worked in two shifts, and everyone worked 12 hours a day to produce new weapons and equipment that were urgently needed for the troops...
