But the hardest ones are not these sailors who are used to seeing the sea, but the passengers of this fleet, the [-] officers and soldiers of the Eighth Armored Division of the National Defense Forces.When did these armies experience such a scene?All of them were dizzy in the cabin, and the floor of the cabin was full of people's vomit, which was full of unpleasant sour smell... In order to let these seasick officers and soldiers eat more, the troops of this advance army The commander, General Wei Lihuang, even issued a military order to the troops that "you must eat on time and in accordance with the amount"!However, Commander Wei himself was the first to violate his own military order, throwing up so much that he couldn't even get out of bed.I had to lie in the luxurious officer's cabin of the mountain-like battleship Ningyuan, and talk about this combat mission with a few senior officers of the advance army and navy who were not seasick.

Rear Admiral Yu Yanshou, commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Fleet, the captain of the battleship Ningyuan, was wearing a raincoat at this time, and walked in through the door dripping wet.The rear admiral had just inspected the deck. Although he was wearing a raincoat, he was still drenched, but he looked very good. He smiled at Wei Lihuang and said, "Commander Wei, I have seen the storm mirror. Now, the air pressure is picking up. It is estimated that this storm will pass soon. When we reach the English Channel, I am afraid there will be another storm! But... Even if there is a storm, it is exciting, it is the English Channel! It is far away from the British Strong ships and sharp guns opened the door of China, and in less than 100 years, we drove the most powerful battleship in the world to the door of the British!"

Wei Lihuang was looking at the huge waves outside the porthole with a livid face, imagining in his heart that when those arrogant Germans saw the seasick and stumbling honor of the Chinese army, would they Laugh out loud?If you can't make the Germans look at you differently, can your own advance army still be the main force in future wars?Can it also maximize the impact on the European war and help Empress Anastasia ascend the throne of St. Petersburg?If the task of sending troops to Europe is not achieved this time, as a general of the Chiang family, can he continue to have a place in the National Defense Forces?

Thinking of his Jiang family identity, Wei Lihuang sighed softly, and turned to look at Colonel Jiang Jingguo, Chief of Staff of the Naval Transport Command.This President Luo's son-in-law, now has the rank of colonel!The bridal chamber flowers and candles came together with the promotion and fortune, but they couldn't see the slightest joy, and they still had a gloomy face.

"Jingguo, how is Jiegong?" Wei Lihuang asked with concern.

Chiang Ching-kuo squeezed out a smile, "My father is fine. He has been inspecting various places in the United States for the past two days, and he may leave the United States next month."

"Oh, is Mr. Jie coming back?" Wei Lihuang cheered loudly, regardless of how many Luo Yaoguo's eyes and ears were still in this room.From his point of view, the murder incident was simply non-existent!It was completely an excuse fabricated by Luo Yaoguo to frame Chiang Kai-shek...

"Go back to China?" Jiang Jingguo said with a wry smile, "Where is it so easy? My father bought a house in Manila, where he plans to recuperate for two years before deciding where to go."

"Two years? That's not acceptable." Wei Lihuang shook his head, "After two years, the war with the Soviet Union may have ended! By then, He Yingqin, An Sihua, Bai Chongxi, and Li Zongren must be marshals ! Jiegong’s status is just..."

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit embarrassing, and the officers of Chiang Kai-shek's line all bowed their heads deeply, looking dejected.And the officers of Luo Yaoguo's faction did not gloat, but sighed with regret.Seeing this scene, Yu Yanshou could only cough lightly, and said with a faint smile: "Brother Jing Guo, after transporting the Eighth Armored Division, which troop should be transported to Europe? It is said that 100 million to 150 million people will be transported. Bar?"

"Oh, the following batch is the Seventh Aviation Division and a part of the White Russian Army. There are five White Russian armies with 25 people to transport. They will be transported throughout the first half of 1937, and the National Defense Forces will resume transport in the second half of the year..." Jiang Jingguo still transported The command's external caliber is introducing.

"In that case, we have at least 100 million people, and Belarus' 25... is 120 million!" Wei Lihuang calculated with his fingers, and said with a smile: "At that time, we'd better advance directly with Belarus along the Baltic Sea. Attacking St. Petersburg... There are hundreds of planes and two battleships, it seems that the task is not very difficult to complete!"

……

Ribbentrop and Schulenburg had already entered a huge banquet hall covered with white marble at this time, with red curtains and a shiny mosaic floor. There were many tables in the middle of the hall, and the white tablecloths were covered with gold, Silver and glass vessels gleamed.On the high platform was a long table, about a hundred feet long, from one end of the hall to the other, and the rest of the tables were arranged in rows at right angles to the high platform, and two huge and resplendent chandeliers hung down from the high red and gold ceiling, Numerous frosted glass round lamps on the chandeliers shine brightly, and there are gorgeously decorated wall lamps shining brightly on the walls.

"Ah! This is really luxurious!" For the first time, Ribbentrop found himself like a country bumpkin who just came into the city, staring at everything in front of him in a daze.

Von Schulenburg is obviously not the first to experience the luxury of communism. "This used to be the palace of Empress Catherine, but now it belongs to the Bolsheviks."

"Oh, my God, even Göring's Catherine villa can't compare with this place, if this is their way of life," Ribbentrop said: "Maybe I should also consider joining the Communist Party!"

"As far as I know, that's how they live," von Schulenburg said with a smile, glancing at Ribbentrop. "Communists are materialists, and enjoying life while they're alive is everything. If it's like Lenin, it's all over."

The menu is printed in Russian and German on light yellow thick paper with a sickle and ax emblem on it. There are long strings of fish, soup, game, chicken, barbecue, seafood, etc., which look extremely rich.The waiters started serving the food, and a few more waiters brought wine and vodka and started pouring glasses.Ribbentrop, who was in the wine business at home, could tell at a glance that the expensive 1887 vintage champagne produced by the father-in-law's Heinkel winery was used for this lunch.

At this time, Stalin entered the restaurant accompanied by a large group of senior Soviet civil and military officials wearing colorful uniforms. Unlike other countries that gave civil officials random suits or robes and jackets, the civil officials of the Soviet Union, a militarized country, also wore clothes similar to A beautiful uniform for military uniforms.

The guests at the scene applauded richly, and Ribbentrop and Schulenburg also stood up and applauded. Stalin saw two Germans at a glance, and strode forward to shake hands with them.He said loudly in Russian with a Georgian accent: "Welcome to Moscow, you two! On behalf of the Soviet people, I welcome you! I wish His Excellency Adolf Hitler good health, and wish the Soviet Union and Germany a long-standing friendship." Speaking of this, he raised his eyes and looked inside. Bentrop said with a smile: "Mr. Ribbentrop, I think you are here for the friendship between the two countries?"

Chapter 0715 Stalin Assault ([-]) Piłsudski Plan

Here, the Ribbentrop mission sent by the German head of state Hitler ate and drank in the Kremlin, while on the other side in Warsaw, the Polish army also held an important military meeting almost at the same time.In addition to the Supreme Commander of the Polish Army: Marshal Szymigvi, Director of the Armed Forces, there were also commanders of several group armies, military advisers from Britain and France, and heads of military delegations from China, Germany and Italy.

"According to reports from the Belarusian Army and the Ukrainian Army on the east bank of the Bwag River. During this time, the Soviet Red Army was gathering on a large scale near Minsk and Kiev. In addition, the Air Force reported that Soviet reconnaissance planes frequently crossed the border into Polish airspace for reconnaissance and photography At the same time, Soviet spies lurking in West Belarus and West Ukraine are also becoming more active. Since the second half of 1936, Polish counterintelligence agencies have uncovered many Soviet spy organizations. In addition, Polish intelligence agencies have also discovered A large-scale military exercise. The content of the exercise is a large-scale military attack. After defeating the main force of the enemy, it will retreat to a solid defensive area... There are indications that the Soviet Union is very likely to be in the Pod in the near future. Before the three countries, launch a war to attack Poland first!" The head of the Polish General Staff, Lieutenant Rozowski, stood in front of a huge military map and said loudly:

"According to our judgment on the deployment of the Soviet Red Army's troops. The Soviets want to focus their offensive on the east bank of the Buvag River. Their main intention is to seize Western Ukraine and Western Belarus; if conditions permit, they will also march to Warsaw In order to force us to withdraw from the anti-Soviet alliance. Therefore, in response to the deployment of the enemy's troops, the Ministry of Defense and the Director of the Armed Forces Marshal Shimigvi ordered the General Staff to make the following plan!

When our Polish army launched an attack on the Soviet Union, we should adopt the overall combat strategy of defending first and then counterattacking.Our defense system should be deployed along the entire Soviet-Polish border, divided into four group armies according to the region.They are the Ukrainian Army Group deployed on the border between East and West Ukraine, the Belarusian Army Group deployed on the East-West Belarus border, the Buvag Army Group deployed on the Buvag River line, and the Reserve Army Group deployed around Warsaw.

The Ukrainian army will include seven infantry corps, three cavalry corps and one armored cavalry brigade; at full strength, the army will have a total strength of 35, with 1000 various artillery pieces and more than 10.5 tanks and armored vehicles. (Including the tank regiments attached to the infantry army, the cavalry army and the tank regiments of the armored cavalry brigade, there are a total of eleven tank regiments, mainly equipped with the 7-ton No. [-] tank provided by China and Germany, Poland's own TK, TKS small tanks, [-]-TP light tanks, etc.) General Psedzy Mirsky Kruvich served as the commander of the group army.

The Belarusian Army will include eight infantry corps, three cavalry corps, an armored cavalry brigade and a fortress division (to defend the Brest Fortress); the total strength of the full force will be as high as 40, with 100 units of each There are more than [-] kinds of artillery, tanks and armored vehicles.The Belarusian army commander will be General Bortnovsky.

The Ukrainian Army Group and the Belarusian Army Group will be used to defend against possible surprise attacks by the Soviet Red Army.Behind these two armies, a Bouage River Army will also be deployed along the Bouage River Basin as a second line of defense against Soviet invasion.The group army consists of ten infantry corps, two cavalry corps, and an armored cavalry brigade; it has more than 300 cannons, more than 200 tanks and armored vehicles, and a total strength of nearly 50.The commander of the Buwag River Army was General Rusinski.

In addition, we formed a strong reserve army near Warsaw, which consisted of nine infantry corps and three cavalry corps.With more than 200 cannons and no tanks and armored vehicles, once the mobilization is completed, the total strength of the Reserve Army is about 40.The commander of the Reserve Army is General Schillinger.

Finally, let me explain that the 45 corps and the three armored cavalry brigades owned by the above four armies are currently 50% full; according to the plan, they will reach the full state before the end of October 1937!Moreover, once a war breaks out, we can mobilize more than 10 million reserve officers and soldiers within ten days.In short, with favorable terrain and enough troops, I believe that Poland has the ability to defend against the enemy outside the country!And after repelling the Soviet invading army, the Polish army will take the lead in counterattacking into the Soviet Union and recover the entire territory of Belarus and Ukraine!For this reason, our Polish General Staff has formulated a combat plan to defeat the Soviet Union in an all-round way-Pilsudski Plan! "

"Your Excellency, Admiral." Admiral Ozowski was about to introduce the Piłsudski plan formulated by the Polish General Staff when he was interrupted by the head of the German military delegation, Admiral Ludwig Beck.

Admiral Baker said: "Even if the mobilization of the four armies of Poland is completed, the total strength of the four army groups will be only 165 million when they reach full strength. Up to 600 million to 700 million people! In addition, there are millions of people in the reserve force to replenish the losses in time. We think that your Polish army is comparable to the Soviet Red Army in terms of quality and the quality of weapons and equipment , and the Soviet Red Army has also experienced five years of training in the Far East War, and has very rich actual combat experience! Under such circumstances, the huge numerical advantage of the Soviet Red Army can definitely destroy Poland's defense in a short period of time! So I think Poland is right The best defense plan is to build a relatively deep line of defense along the Bwag River... and it is necessary to build fortifications on the outskirts of Warsaw and prepare for the defense of Warsaw! The task of the Polish army when facing the attack of the superior Soviet army should be You just need to hold on until the beginning of 1938, and our coalition forces with China and the Russian Empire will be ready. After that, we will be able to launch a counter-offensive and help Poland recover all lost ground. If possible, we hope to be able to do so in the In the eastern part of Poland, deal a devastating blow to the Soviet Red Army! Create the most favorable conditions for the future liberation of Ukraine, Belarus and Russia."

"General Baker!" General Kutsheba, the deputy chief of staff of Poland who was sitting on the side, said uneasily: "Are you exaggerating the strength of the Soviet Red Army? Although the Soviets have more troops than us, their The combat effectiveness is not strong. Over the years, they have always lost every battle in foreign wars, and now they are losing one after another in the Far East! Moreover, even the Soviet Red Army’s numerical advantage is not as great as you said. We estimate that the Soviet Red Army is at best It is a total force of 600 million. But at least 250 to 350 million will be used to defend the Far East and Central Asia... The remaining 400 to 200 million cannot be used for offense, and there are still a large number of logistics troops , The huge territory of the Soviet Union also needs troops to defend, and the army that can really be used to attack Poland will not exceed 165 million. We can completely defeat the 200 million Soviet Red Army with [-] million Polish troops! And we will also receive assistance from Germany and China , General Baker, what do you think? What kind of help can Germany and China provide to Poland?"

Hearing this question, General Beck, the head of the German military delegation, and Lieutenant General Wu Tuohao, the head of the Chinese military delegation sitting opposite him, glanced at each other. Wu Tuohao said: "China can provide a very elite armored Division, with 380 Panzer II and Panzer III tanks, which are much better than the T-28 tanks of the Red Army. There is also a bomber aviation division with more than 400 aircraft that can be used to support the Polish army." He paused For a moment, he looked at Marshal Khimigvi and said: "Your Excellency, besides the Chinese army, there are 25 Russian Imperial Army troops that will be transported to Europe. Those troops have passed the test of the Far East War and are the best infantry. If they can If you enter Poland to fight..."

"Oh?" After listening to Wu Tuohao's words, Marshal Szymigvi raised his head slightly, and then said while looking at Wu Tuohao: "Mr. Lieutenant General, thank you for the generosity of China, but the Republic of Poland can defend itself We do not need any foreign ground troops to enter Poland to help us fight... Of course, your bomber divisions can enter Poland, and we hope that the German side will also send an equal number of aircraft into Poland."

The foreign generals present at the scene were taken aback by what Shimigvi said. They didn't want a powerful Chinese armored division to enter Poland!Although the Poles are full of confidence in resisting the Soviet Union alone, it is always a good thing to have hundreds of tanks, right?

"Your Excellency, Marshal!" Admiral Baker stood up, "I will report your suggestion to the head of state. I believe that the head of state will be very happy to provide all the help within his capacity to our important ally Poland! However, I still suggest that the Polish side must Don't underestimate the combat power of the Soviet Red Army, at least build fortifications outside the cities of Warsaw and Lviv, just in case. In addition, Germany, Poland, and China should also formulate a backup plan for sending troops into Poland if necessary ..."

"No need!" Hearing that Germany was going to send troops into Poland, Simigvi also stood up: "According to our Piłsudski plan, the German, Chinese, and Russian coalition forces should meet before the solid defense of the Soviet Red Army in Poland." After getting bloody, the troops were divided into two groups, all the way to attack Leningrad along the Baltic Sea; all the way southward from Latvia, outflanking the retreat of the Soviet Red Army, and cooperating with the Polish army to encircle and wipe out the main force of the Soviet Red Army." At this point, the marshal paused for a while, Looking around at the generals in the conference room, "Gentlemen, the detailed plan of Piłsudski's plan will be sent to you later. We hope to use this as the final battle plan to destroy the Soviet Union!"

Seeing Marshal Simigvi's stubborn insistence on not allowing "all foreign troops" to enter Poland, Wu Tuohao felt a sense of foreboding in his heart.He knew that the reason why Schimigvi did this was to prevent the German and Russian troops from setting foot on Polish territory!It seems that the hatred of the Poles towards the Germans and Russians has not been let go...but what about the Germans and Russians?Have they given up their ambitions for Poland?

……

After a hearty, somewhat overdone lunch, Ribbentrop and Schulenburg were invited by the Bolsheviks into a movie projection room with about fifty soft-backed chairs.There was a small table in front of each armchair, and the waiter set out beautifully crafted pastries, fruit, sweets and Heinkel champagne.Apparently Stalin's background checks on Ribbentrop were clear.Here the Russians showed a very long documentary, mainly to show the guests the mighty military power of the Soviet Red Army!

The film includes the grand scene of the May 1936st military parade in 28, in which hundreds of huge tanks formed a neat square formation and passed through the Red Square in Moscow, which surprised Ribbentrop a little.These tanks should be the T-28 "heavy tanks" that Guderian can hardly sleep on!According to Guderian's estimation, the combat effectiveness of this tank should not be weaker than that of the German Panzer III.From the appearance, it seems that the T-28 of the Soviet Union is relatively tall and mighty. The No. 26 jointly developed by Germany and China seems to be a little chunky, and the individual seems to be a little smaller.Behind the T-26 phalanx, there is another T-37 tank that is beyond sight. This tank is also a light tank with good performance.The Chinese National Defense Forces seized many T-[-]s that were not abandoned by the Soviet Red Army due to mechanical failures on the Far East battlefield, and made a comprehensive analysis of them. The conclusion is that the defense of this tank is a bit weak, but its firepower is very powerful. Much stronger than the No. [-] tank.Its [-]mm gun is powerful enough to penetrate the armor of the No. [-] tank, and can even pose a threat to the frontal armor of the No. [-] tank at a close enough distance!

Ribbentrop carefully counted the number of T-28 and T-26 tanks on the movie screen. There are about 28 T-500 tanks, and as many as 26 T-57 tanks!Where so many tanks are placed, they will be a powerful armored force that cannot be ignored.And these tanks are only a part of the tanks owned by the Soviet Union!After the tank phalanx passed, there were rows of artillery dragged by carriages that could not be seen.One of the most striking is a 60mm cannon with a long barrel!Ribbentrop estimated that the barrel diameter of this gun should be 63 to 63.5 times (actually [-] times), and he knew that this should be a powerful anti-tank gun!It is a new type of artillery developed by the Soviet Union to make up for the shortage of their tanks.It seems that after returning to Germany, it is necessary to write a report to remind the Wehrmacht to pay attention to the Soviet Union's powerful armored forces and new anti-tank weapons!Perhaps this is the real purpose of the Soviets to show themselves their tanks and anti-tank guns?They are warning Germany to think clearly about the consequences when they aid Poland...

After watching countless army weapons and equipment, the movie camera turned to the sky again, hundreds of I-15 and I-16 fighter jets of the Soviet Red Air Force, and dozens of huge TB-3 four-engine heavy bombers, Arranged in a neat formation, passing over the Red Square.For these planes, Ribbentrop did not show much interest, but just applauded with the high-ranking Soviet figures present as a matter of routine.At this time, the lights in the movie projection room came on, and Stalin stood up first, walked up to Ribbentrop with vigorous steps, and held out his hand to hold him together.

"Mr. Ribbentrop." The great leader of communism said with a smile on his face: "You have seen with your own eyes the great force of the Soviet state, and this was the situation in May last year. You know that we did not waste time Habit! I think you will tell Herr Hitler exactly what you saw? Would you like to take a copy of the film from us and take it back to Berlin?"

Ribbentrop smiled and said: "Thank you, Chairman Stalin, I think the head of state will reconsider the relationship between the Soviet Union and Germany after seeing the content of this documentary."

"Of course, the Soviet Union and Germany must be able to find a lot in common." Stalin took Ribbentrop's arm, laughed happily a few times, and said: "We are all European countries, and at the same time we are influenced by Britain and Germany." French oppression... If our two countries get into a protracted war, the only ones who will really benefit are the inferior yellow people in the East and the two despicable and insidious countries of Britain and France. If we unite, the whole world will be in the hands of Germany and the Soviet Union It's a piece of cake! Please tell Fuehrer that the Soviet Union has no ambitions for Polish territory, we just want to take back the land on the east bank of the Bwag River. In addition, the three Baltic countries can also be shared by us... Lithuania and Latvia can be returned to Germany, The Soviet Union only wants Estonia. After Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia are divided among us, Germany can go west to compete with France! And we, the Soviet Union, will go east to settle accounts with China!" said Here, the dictator gritted his teeth, with a look of the lunar calendar in his eyes, "These Chinese are really hateful. They first supported Trotsky, and now they support Anastasia. There was a bloody war that lasted five years! Tens of thousands of young people lost their lives because of this! If they are not allowed to pay with blood, these yellow-skinned monkeys will never know that the world is now ruled by us white race!"

Ribbentrop couldn't understand Russian, and the translator at the scene was von Schulenburg, the former ambassador to the Soviet Union. When he translated Stalin's racist remarks, Ribbentrop stared in surprise. Eyes, looking at the communist leader.An internationalist full of racist white supremacist rhetoric!It was as absurd as if Hitler was advocating peaceful coexistence with the Jews, but this scene actually appeared before his eyes!I really don't know how the head of state reacted after hearing these remarks?

Chapter 0716 Stalin Assault ([-]) Mission Impossible

The information provided by the General Staff of the Polish Army on the mobilization and assembly of troops in the western part of the Soviet Union and the "Pilsudski Plan" formulated by them were quickly sent to the General Staff of the Chinese National Defense Forces in Wuhan.Although the Polish side showed great confidence in countering the Soviet attack, Luo Yaoguo still felt that his spirit was under great pressure.

"Things are getting more and more interesting. This time, the Soviet Union is actually going to attack Poland. It seems that the whole history is going to be reversed!" Luo Yaoguo kept shaking his head while watching the report sent by Wu Tuohao himself.The mass build-up of the Soviet Union on its Western Front appears to be a desperate move by Stalin!Of course, such an active attack on Germany and Poland, which were almost heavily armed, was almost a kind of sloppy suicide.Perhaps, those careless Poles will be beaten up by the Soviets at the beginning of the war, but the situation on the battlefield will soon change after Germany joins, and the Soviets will pay a heavy price for their risky actions!Unless the Germans were helpless when Poland was attacked!Even the Soviet Union and Germany have reached a tacit agreement on the Polish issue...

So he immediately flew to Shanghai in secret to meet his old lover, the Russian Empress Anastasia who is currently on vacation in Shanghai. Because this woman is a pure-bred German, she has many relatives among the German nobles. Therefore, the news about Germany is very well-informed.After listening to Luo Yaoguo's question, the queen just smiled, "My marshal, don't worry, Natalie's motherland will not perish. The German head of state also thinks that the Poles are difficult to rule, so... he I will not choose to destroy Poland." The queen shrugged her plump snow-white shoulders, which were almost naked. "You should be able to understand, just like you don't want a strong Japan, the head of state also doesn't want an overly powerful Greater Poland to appear in the east of Germany. And get the southern territories of the Soviet Union-Ukraine, Belarus, Transcaucasus, etc. It's been his dream all along."

"Will that happen?" Luo Yaoguo frowned.Didn’t Hitler carve up Poland with the Soviet Union in another time and space?

"Of course, otherwise what do you think he would do? Carve up Poland with Stalin? If Germany and Poland were not allies... I believe he can do it! But not now, Pod is an ally, if he does Germany like this The reputation will be ruined. Do you China dare to form an alliance with him? Will Russia still believe him? I am afraid that even Mussolini in Italy can’t believe Hitler! Besides, Poland has now entered into an alliance with Britain and France Treaty, if the Soviet Union attacks Poland, Britain and France will also declare war on the Soviet Union! Would Hitler be so stupid as to miss this great opportunity to destroy the Soviet Union?" Anastasia's analysis was straightforward.

"Oh, do you think Britain and France will really declare war on the Soviet Union?" Luo Yaoguo shook his head suspiciously.

"Yes, although they won't really participate in the war, they are just announcing that they are in a state of war with the Soviet Union. Otherwise, the Soviet Union would not dare to put all their eggs in one basket to attack Poland..."

Speaking of which, Empress Anastasia stood up, dragged her wine-red court dress and walked to her desk, picked up a folder from above, handed it to Luo Yaoguo, and said, "This is I think you will be interested in some information sent back by our spies lurking in Moscow."

Luo Yaoguo opened the folder and looked at it, his expression suddenly became serious. It turned out that it was a report on the latest Soviet weapons and equipment.On the first page of the report there is a huge tank - the T-28 tank!This kind of tank existed in Luo Yaoguo's past life memory, but he didn't have a big impression, far inferior to the famous T-34.But it looks quite majestic, I don't know how it will behave on the battlefield?Turning to the second page, what he saw was a 57mm anti-tank gun, code-named ZIS-1/1936 anti-tank gun!Listening to the name is used to deal with tanks.Although the Queen's intelligence personnel did not provide specific performance data of this new artillery, there are only photos and estimated huge numbers.

But seeing that it has at least 60 times the diameter of the gun barrel, anyone with certain military experience can imagine its huge armor-piercing ability!What surprised Luo Yaoguo even more was that the Soviet side seemed to be very satisfied with the performance of this anti-tank gun.According to Stalin's instructions, the military industry of the Soviet Union is running at full capacity to produce such expensive cannons with the largest possible output. (Due to the complex process of the long barrel and the high price of the rare metals required, the cost of this gun is almost several times that of the 76.2mm field gun!)
