Like San Dezi during World War II, Qin's frontline armored forces have become accustomed to chaos and self-reliance.
They tried every means to reuse the waste of tanks produced in the past with qualified armor, disassemble the parts from the inferior tanks that were later supplemented, and repair the damaged old tanks.
At least the armor of the old tanks is normal. Although these steel plates cannot withstand the rockets of the Tang Army, they at least have armor...
The Qin Army transformed the newly issued inferior tanks and armored vehicles that were dismantled into pieces into various special vehicles as much as possible.
For example, a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun is made from an inferior tank chassis plus an anti-aircraft gun; for example, a self-propelled mortar is made from an inferior tank chassis and a mortar...
In short, the Qin soldiers used their ingenuity to use waste as much as possible, and played a big role on the battlefield.
The camouflaged self-propelled anti-aircraft gun is simply an artifact for street fighting. The twin 20 or 30 mm caliber cannons are installed on the tank chassis. As long as it is well concealed, it is entirely possible to compete with the armed helicopters of the Tang Empire.
This kind of weapon is also very useful against infantry. Sometimes it will suddenly cause a lot of casualties to the Tang army, making the Tang army somewhat unable to defend itself.
The modified self-propelled mortar is also very useful. It can escape the counterattacks of Tang artillery that responds faster and faster, and can at least ensure the partial safety of the crew.
It's a pity that these modifications are only made by the troops voluntarily. Although they are easy to use, they are all kinds of and can be called a logistical supply nightmare.
For example, some troops' modified self-propelled anti-aircraft guns are equipped with twin 20mm caliber cannons, while some troops use 30mm caliber ones.
Some troops use single tubes, some troops use double tubes, and some troops use quadruple tubes frantically. And some troops use machine guns instead of machine cannons, and even use eight machine guns to create an eight-gun unit.
It all depends on whether there is an air force stationed around these army units, because most of the cannons were removed from Qin aircraft.
A large number of aircraft were destroyed on the ground, or were paralyzed on the ground because the runway was destroyed, or were scrapped on the ground due to malfunctions... In short, many of the aircraft of the Great Qin Empire were no longer able to take off for combat.
It would be too laborious to repair or transport, so I simply dismantled it and took off the weapons on it for recycling. The outstanding thing is... random.
After the Army obtained these things, it modified them into vehicles, because people could not move the cannons and machine guns on these heavy aircraft anyway.
In addition, the Qin Army also used such inferior tanks as tank destroyers, inferior forts, transportation vehicles or command vehicles.
But doing so brought a disaster to logistics: the ammunition types did not match, the Air Force's reserves could not be supplied to the Army, and maintenance parts could not be found... The Qin State's logistics troops were overwhelmed to deal with these problems, and many weapons would soon be scrapped. Abandoned on the battlefield.
There are even times when the same tank parts cannot be used universally - this is entirely due to the production department. Due to the lack of qualified workers, many assembly procedures were completed reluctantly, and there were too many removed screws that could not be screwed back.
Oil supplies have been intermittent because of the loss of Dahua's oil fields. After all, Qin is also an oil-producing country, and they can still provide some oil for the frontline troops.
But because it had to be transported from the country to the front line, the already stretched transportation became the biggest problem. Qin's road network is really not that good. After so many years of construction, it can only be described as barely adequate.
If you transport people, you can't transport guns, if you transport guns, you can't transport bombs, if you transport bombs, you can't transport oil... This situation turns Qin's support to the front line into a refueling tactic. From a certain perspective, , is actually a very idiotic approach.
In order to save fuel and reduce the risk of being attacked when troops are transferred, the Qin army also began to equip a large number of civilian equipment such as bicycles. However, with the loss of Shu, Qin's reserve of rubber and other raw materials began to be lacking, and such products began to disappear gradually.
There was no choice but to lose the southern region. Qin, which was originally located in the northwest, could only start using artificial rubber to replace rubber and reluctantly carry out industrial production.
It is a pity that industrially produced artificial rubber is only artificial rubber after all, and its performance is indeed inferior to natural rubber. This directly led to the service life of many industrial products in Qin being reduced to the point of making people laugh or cry.
This technology was introduced from the Tang State when the Tang Empire had good relations with the Qin State. When this technology was introduced, Ying Duo and his ministers were somewhat proud.
In their view, this is a key step for Qin to achieve self-sufficiency in raw materials. It is simply stupid for Tang to be willing to provide this technology.
At that time, the Qin State was at its peak, and everyone at the top and bottom was very optimistic. Most people believed at that time that after Qin mastered enough advanced technology and relied on its powerful soldiers, it could defeat the extravagant and lustful Tang troops on the battlefield.
It's a pity that these are just Qin's unilateral fantasies. Now the losses of the Tang Empire in the war have reached nearly 200,000, but there is still no serious anti-war sentiment in the Tang State.
On the surface, the people of the Tang Empire did not seem to be martial, but in fact, from the day the Tang Dynasty was established, the people of the Tang Dynasty had never been afraid of war. In fact, everyone in the Tang Kingdom, including Emperor Tang Mo, had a vague expectation of war.
However, the seemingly martial Qin State began to develop serious anti-war sentiments after successive defeats: the people of Qin had been fighting for too long, and too many of their sons, husbands, and fathers had died in foreign lands. The blood of the Qin people is almost drained, and Qin's war potential has been exhausted.
They fought from Shu to Chu, from Shahun to Xiajuan. The Qin army had been fighting for several years and was already exhausted. Then they lost almost all their achievements. The Chu, Shu, and Dahua areas were recaptured by the Tang army one after another. The only thing left in Qin seemed to be the number of casualties.
No matter which aspect you look at, Qin may collapse at any time. Although there are still millions of troops on the front line, the entire empire is in turmoil.
This seems to be the same as Desan. Although there are still millions of troops on both fronts, the collapse of the war situation is actually irreversible.
