The "dirty tricks" played by the Soviet Union in weapons manufacturing during World War II.

After the Soviet high-level officials realized that investment alone could only overwhelm the Germans, the next step for the Soviet army was to increase weapons production. Most people think that the Soviet Union defeated Germany in numbers. Joke: How many troops did China have when Eight-Nation Alliance attacked Beijing? Many people can't beat the German army. Overwhelming the Germans by the number of weapons and equipment. 1942 in this month, 15000 tanks and 20000 aircraft, including 5 million troops, saved by the Soviet army before the war were all reimbursed. The first task of 1942 is to provide weapons and equipment for the newly formed Soviet army. Especially heavy weapons.

The Soviet Union produced three times as many planes, tanks and artillery as the German army. The Soviet Union's heavy industry is inferior to that of the German army. No matter how hard you try, you can't come this far, can you?

The answer is: the Soviet army simplified the production process in order to gain a quantitative advantage. The plane uses wood as the fuselage (metal is not enough), and the engine of the plane can only fly for more than ten hours (to be productive). As long as the parts in the fuel tank can be fired and started, a few shells can be reduced or reduced. But one thing, combat effectiveness cannot be reduced. So Soviet weapons are much simpler than German weapons, but the number has increased. This quantitative advantage has actually adapted to the characteristics of large-scale and great losses in the Soviet-German battlefield. Soviet planes can only fly for more than ten hours, but on the Soviet-German battlefield, more than half of them were shot down before flying for more than ten hours.

After the Soviet tanks leave the factory for the battlefield, they have to bear the shells of the Germans (the shooting level of the Germans is higher than that of the Red Army). 65,438+/kloc-0,000 tanks and self-propelled guns ensured that the Red Army could sweep the Germans without worrying about the losses caused by the Germans. Therefore, no matter how well planes and tanks are built, they must also withstand the wear and tear on the battlefield between the Soviet Union and Germany.

The Soviet Union's method of simplifying production technology in order to increase production is indeed a pioneering work in the history of war. This is indeed a strange road and a strange move. As a result, the Germans had to fight Soviet tanks and planes several times their own.

Although experienced pilots and tank crews have made remarkable achievements in the battle with the Soviet Union, their losses are increasing. When it was beyond the capacity of the Germans, the Germans went downhill.

Install 122 and155mm guns on the tank chassis. Used as anti-tank weapon. This is an amazing feat. Although the Germans also installed artillery of this caliber on the tank chassis, it is rare. Because this kind of self-propelled artillery was not optimistic at that time. Soviet troops had to equip this kind of self-propelled artillery on a large scale to deal with German heavy tanks.

The main function of Soviet tanks in the battle is to break through the enemy positions and enter the enemy rear, but it is not to fight with German tanks (unless the German tanks push in), but to destroy the communication lines behind the enemy.

At the end of 1943, Soviet tanks were not strong enough. Encountering German tanks comes at a price. Even the Soviets are unwilling to bear the price. Go directly to the enemy logistics forces to fight.

German tanks are powerful, but they can barely survive without fuel and shells.

The counterattack of German tanks is always the breakthrough to attack Soviet troops. The attack power of Soviet large-caliber self-propelled artillery is not enough (self-propelled artillery originally provides fire support), but it is quite easy to defend. 152 and 122 mm guns can destroy any type of enemy tanks beyond the range of German heavy tank guns (now no tanks can resist 152 shells). This caused great losses to German tanks.
