Final Response to Compilation Issues

In the first chapter of this volume, most of the content is actually scolding those military illiterates who came to the chapter I compiled to find faults. Military illiterates have no idea how many people are needed to operate so many technical equipment, and they don’t know how valuable this Vibranium Tycoon Division is.

I was originally going to open a separate chapter to scold, but then I thought that maybe ordinary readers don’t know how terrible this Vibranium Tycoon Division and the group army of three Tycoon Divisions are, so I wrote it in the main text.

Then, someone started to criticize, saying that if I stuffed 60 heavy artillery, 200+ mortars and infantry guns into a division, it would cause many divisions on the front line to have no artillery. There are also people who say that this army accounts for 30% of the heavy artillery of Ante, and they say that they can’t supply it.

Come and see what is going on in reality.

The following is a photo of the page of Glantz’s "Giant Reborn".

The photo is not clear, so I will tell you: In July 1942, the Soviet Army Command Reserve Artillery had 323 artillery regiments and 26 heavy artillery battalions. Let's not talk about the heavy artillery battalions mainly equipped with 203 and 280 guns. The 323 artillery regiments are all 122 or 152 guns!

You read that right, 323!

Of course, these 323 regiments have actually been reduced compared to before the war. Before the war, each artillery regiment of the reserve artillery had 48 152 howitzers, but in 1942, these 323 were actually small organizations, with 20 122 or 152 guns.

I stuffed 60 guns in, okay!

Some people may say that this is a reserve artillery regiment, and it doesn't need supplies. There are not many artillery regiments on the front line.

Don't be silly. The Soviet divisional artillery originally had 12 122 guns. The military artillery is generally an artillery brigade, a 48-gun unit with 24 152 howitzers + 24 122 guns.

I just strengthened a military artillery brigade to the division, just 12+48=60 guns.

By the way, the artillery of the Russian command will be reinforced to the army group that is specifically executing the campaign when the campaign is implemented. You really have no idea about the Soviet artillery. You even said that one division accounts for 10% of the heavy artillery firepower of the entire army.

In the book, the losses of Ant are smaller than those of the Russians. In the first year, 4 million Russians were eliminated in an organized manner, and more than 2 million prisoners were captured. In the book, there are only 5 million casualties, and the wounded can return after recovery. These people return to the team as veterans who have been tempered by the fire of war, and their fighting will is different. In other words, Ant has at least 2 million more veterans than the Russians.

In addition, the retreating units are different from the retreating units, and the technical equipment can be preserved.

In order to verify whether this organization can be used, I read two large books by Grantz, one is "Clay-footed Giant" and the other is "Giant Reborn". These two books are not as sour as war history, because I like to read war history as a story book. These two books are purely data-listing works, and they read like instructions.

I still finished reading them.

At present, the war history and memoirs related to the Eastern Front that I have not put into the warehouse are as follows.

There are three rows below, and they are obviously older. They are the ones I finished reading before writing this book. The middle ones are "Clay-footed Giant" and "Giant Reborn" which I just finished reading for this book. The ones above are "Gate of Hell", "Oder Front" and "Road to Berlin" which I am going to read.

I also have the same number of Pacific War History and the same number of World War I war history books, all of which have been read.

By the way, I also follow the more reliable war history research public accounts such as Fenrir War History, and I have read every article of them.

I am indeed just an enthusiast, but I am an enthusiast who reads a little bit more books.

I think if you want to pick on me, you have read at least one-third of these books, right?

In the future, when you pick on military issues in my book, you must take screenshots of the book or chart, and indicate who wrote what book and which page.

Another purpose of doing this is to identify truly professional military masters. I have many friends who are engaged in military affairs who are also reading this book, and their friends may also be reading it. I may not know these people, so I have to avoid accidental injuries.

If you are really professional, you can pick it. I welcome you to pick it.

You have to prove your professionalism first.

Those who find fault without taking screenshots will be banned for 50 years.
