Chapter 78 Materials (Part 2)

As soon as this conversion plan was formulated, Germany's supply pressure was greatly reduced. Sper also stuffed some Italian tanks on it to make up for the numbers, including:

67 kv-1\kv-2, they combined with another 89 t-70 and t-60 tanks and converted into 134;

47 Churchills and 61 Matildas (not distinguishing between 1 and 2), they combined with another 98 Crusaders and Valentine tanks, and converted into 216;

34 French B1 tanks, 51 M3 General Grant tanks and 28 38t, 39 Italian m13, 37 m3 Stuart tanks, which are converted into 170 vehicles;

330 T-34 tanks, this is the only tank that does not count;

214 German No. 3 tanks, converted into 150 - this was replaced by various German troops last winter. Except for some of them given to the Little Brothers of the Axis, the remaining gaps were filled with this one.

In addition to these complete vehicles, some of the parts, accessories and artillery removed from the damaged vehicles were also stuffed to Japan. With the Japanese's shrewdness, it is not difficult to piece together dozens of tanks from it.

After Sperer's dispatch, almost all the tanks seized from other countries in the German stock market were released. Of course, the T-34 cannot be completely seized. Currently, the Czech production line managed by Skoda can produce 300 T-34s a month. Hoffman believes that the T-34 is very suitable for Japanese people. He summarized four advantages: First, Japanese soldiers are small in size and will not feel crowded when squeezed into the T-34 cars; Second, most of the existing Japanese tanks use diesel engines, and are more satisfied with the diesel opportunity of T-34, and Japan is not short of diesel; Third, Japan and the Soviet Union are neutral, mainly fighting against Britain and the United States, and using T-34 will not cause identification problems; Fourth, the combat effectiveness of the T-34 is enough to compete with most of the Allied tanks, including Sherman, which is enough for Japan.

The only British and American tank seized by Germany that they were favored and willing to retain was Sherman. Several major armored commanders looked down on their combat levels, but they all admitted that this was a relatively mature and easy-to-use tank, which was very suitable for transforming into logistics vehicles. A large number of Shermans were transformed into rescue tanks, bridge tanks, bulldozers, cranes, etc.

Compared with tanks, it is difficult to seize enemy aircraft, so the 1,000 aircraft are mainly made in Germany, and the main distribution is as follows:

200 bf-219s;

120 he-218s;

80 ju-98s;

147 captured p-40s, hurricanes, p-39s and handsome soldiers;

150 Italian mc-202 and re-2001 are ready to exchange BF-109 with Italians to let the leader get some cheaper;

100 fw-190a;

70 Stukas;

79 do-17, 54 ju-52.

Originally, do-17 and ju-52 can be converted into two aircraft according to the agreement between the two parties. Considering that they are old models, this is not bad. After this trouble, the do-17 in the Air Force completely withdrew.

After seeing it, Hoffman nodded with satisfaction: "The aircraft must be distributed among the Japanese army and navy. You handle this properly. Can the three new carrier-based aircraft be given spot stock?"

"It will be completed by the 15th of this month," said Speer. "You plan to deliver it all at once? I think it will be divided into several batches."

"With these, Japan dares to be confident and bold in printing, so don't drag them, that's a waste of our own time. As for steel and ships, we are also very nervous, so let's deliver the goods in batches." Hoffman asked, "Have experts seen the seized American Freewheel, how about our Willwheel?"

"Ours are stronger, regardless of speed or load capacity, of course the construction level is not as fast as that of Americans - the speed of American shipbuilding is too fast," Sperer added. "But the United States has an upgraded version of the Victory Wheel, which is stronger than the Will Wheel. Will we continue to upgrade?"

"No need to reduce the working hours and costs first, and then consider upgrading when they are mature."

The next morning, Hori Teiki, accompanied by the Liudian trio, watched the live drill of the new plane with great enthusiasm.

"Sir, it's really great, so good that I can't believe it." With the help of German HNA pilots, Takahara E-218's operating key points, with the help of the German HNA pilot, Takahara quickly mastered the operation key points of the he-218. After several tests at Socotra Land Airport, they immediately started to board the ship drill. According to the German instructions, the biggest difficulty of the he-218 is landing. If a novice does not grasp the speed well, it will easily fall on the deck. However, there are no difficulties under elites like Takahara. He stopped steadily on the deck of the Falcon Eagle - there is no problem with the Falcon Eagle, which is larger than the Falcon Eagle, and there is no problem with the Shocai and Ai Crane.

He went to Horitiki in three steps and reported the advantages of what the Japanese side called the "comet-modified" dive bomber: First, the speed is fast, due to the built-in ammunition cabin, the speed can reach up to 580 kilometers per hour, even exceeding the maximum speed of zero war; Second, the load is high, and it can carry 500 kilograms of bombs, which is doubled compared to the level where the 99-ship explosion can only be loaded with 250 kilograms; Third, the body is strong and has good defense performance. German designers have carried out defense reinforcement and structural reinforcement on the fuselage, which is much higher than the defense level of the 99-ship explosion, which is also greatly improved compared to the comet prototype; Fourth, the range is good, and under such transformation, the maximum range still reaches nearly 1,300 kilometers, which is only 200 kilometers less than the original comet, which is basically close to the 99-ship explosion.

"If you really want to talk about the shortcomings, it is difficult to land on the deck. It is difficult for a novice to master it. However, there should be no problem with old pilots with more than 1,000 flight hours." After Jiang Cao Ryukima finished speaking, he said in a pleading tone, "Sir, let me fight with a new plane on the way back to China."

Hori Teiki smiled: "Don't worry, just take a look at the Zero War Change performance."

When they said this, Saburo Saburo, Hiroyo Nishizawa, and Toshio Oda had taken off the Dragon Phoenix one after another. At the beginning, the three of them were a little unreleased. They flew several subjects in a normal manner and practiced the battle of expulsion and anti-exit.

At this moment, the voice of Major General Kakuda Kiyoshi, who is known for his bravery, was heard through the radio station: "Hey... you three work harder, the commander and the allied generals are watching from below, and quickly take out the sweeping trio..."

The three of them smiled helplessly. Since the performance at the US military airport that time, the name of "Sweeping Trio" has officially started. The three of them contacted each other on the radio and were ready to start. Speaking of which, what they felt most about German aircraft was that their communication level was that their radio communication level was several streets higher than that of Japan, and even exceeded their feelings about the performance gap of the aircraft. After using German goods and experiencing the clear and natural voice of the throat telephone, they looked at the radio stations on the plane that had failed 10 times and 8 times in 10 times and wanted to smash it all at once. When they thought so, they must not know that Germany was also unwilling to let go of Motorola's wireless telephone. It was a large number of copycats in China. Rommel forgot most of the spoils in Alexandria. Only two things were packaged and taken away by him. One was the Motorola wireless telephone, and the other was the Dodge's Ten** card.

Soon, the three aircraft that were still performing the combat performance immediately formed a dense formation, first rolling three small radii at an altitude of 3,000 meters. The overall time was perfect, as if one person was flying. After a level flight, the three aircraft immediately dived at a high speed of nearly 700 kilometers per hour, rushed to an altitude of 1,400 meters and then leveled again. Then the three aircraft repeatedly turned three somersaults, with uniform movements and no difference at all.

"Beautiful!" All German HNA pilots, including Richterhofen, stood up and applauded. It was difficult to do these actions by one person. The three aircraft performed on the same stage and cooperated so exquisitely, which made the pilots extremely amazed. They knew the inside story - these pilots had been mastering the new aircraft for less than 3 days.

Hori Teiki smiled and clapped her hands, and after the three of them landed, they gathered them in front of them and asked, "The new plane is very good?"

"Yes, sir, I'm much better than before."

"The set you performed just now is called a sweeping trio?"

"Yes..." Saburo Saburo's face turned red with embarrassment, and the other two lowered their heads in embarrassment.

"Interesting, interesting." Hori Teiki laughed, "I heard Tsukahara Jun talk about the names of you three. It seems that it wasn't long since I was transferred from the base air fleet? Is it possible to get on the ship so quickly?"

"Sir, you are right." When I thought that my name was actually remembered by the commander of the Joint Fleet, I felt very frightened.

"I have a mission to you. The commander of the German Navy Air Force told me that I hope to send a few pilots to help them train. You three were specially named by him."

"Sir, I've seen their skills, and each one is very good, so we don't need it!"

"We have all transferred from Air Force pilots. Flight technology should be fine, but we have only been training at the training base and have not really boarded the ship... In another 10 days, the aircraft carrier Zeppelin will be delivered. The head of state hopes that we can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible." Richterhofen said sincerely, "We especially hope to master the skills of quickly boarding the ship. Please give me some advice."

After getting along with the three Liu Germans, Richterhofen also learned some Japanese humanity and worldly styles.

"Stay on the spot for four days, wait for the return of the First Guerrilla Detachment, and all pilots change planes and board the ship... and then the fleet goes to Alexandria first and then to Italy."

"You still have to go to Italy?" Cao Lu Renyi thought he had heard it wrong, "Sir, don't you say that the supplies are completed and you will rush back as soon as possible after you get the supplies?"

"Don't worry, go to Italy first." Horitiki smiled slightly, "The radar that the German head of state promised to support us has been sent to the Italian shipyard. We will go there as soon as possible to modify it. The injured Ruihe also needs repairs. Let's talk about the return to China after the New Year."
