But after thinking about it again, Yue Weihan felt relieved.
Since Pi Xiaocheng has already developed the rocket launcher, it would be unreasonable not to use it. If nothing else, at least the Thirty-ninth Group Army will no longer have to worry about the tanks of the Japs after it is equipped with the rocket launcher. As for the Americans and
Yue Weihan didn't bother to care about how much price Lao Maozi would pay for this.
But one thing is certain. Even if the Japanese field divisions were equipped with a large number of rocket launchers, they would not be able to win the Pacific War, let alone go north to overthrow the Soviet Union. The reason is very simple. The industrial scale of Japan is only comparable to that of China.
It can gain some advantages, but if compared with the Soviet Union and the United States, it is far behind.
When Yue Weihan made up his mind, Chi Chengfeng and others also recovered from the shock.
"Grandma, he really didn't realize how powerful this thing is!"
"Damn it, this thing is much more powerful than the anti-tank cannon, but the range is closer!"
"Commander, now our Thirty-ninth Group Army no longer has to be afraid of the Japs' tanks!"
Chi Chengfeng, Niu Dagen, Cao Xinglong and others were all excited. Liu Yi asked Pi Xiaocheng extremely eagerly: "Mr. Pi, is it difficult to manufacture this single-soldier portable anti-tank gun? Can it be produced in batches?
Production? How long is the production cycle? Is maintenance and repair difficult?”
"Uh..." Pi Xiaocheng was dumbfounded by Liu Yi's continuous questions.
After a long while, Pi Xiaocheng came back to his senses and replied: "Sir, the production process of this man-portable anti-tank vehicle gun is very simple. Of course it can be produced in batches, and a production line can be established in a short time. I
There shouldn't be any problem if we want to produce a hundred cannon barrels and a thousand rounds of artillery shells per month. As for maintenance and repair, it won't be a problem at all."
"Great." Liu Yi made a rare decision, "Get on the production line immediately, it's a deal!"
Since becoming Yue Weihan's chief of staff, Liu Yi has really never made a decision. Today is an exception, but Yue Weihan doesn't care at all. He can completely understand Liu Yi's mood at this time, because for the soldiers of the national army, Japanese soldiers
The combat effectiveness of the soldiers is not a problem at all, the problem is the Japanese aircraft and tanks!
Not to mention the little Japanese plane, it is definitely a nightmare for the soldiers of the national army.
As for the Little Devil's tanks, although they are thin and thick, they are still a nightmare for the Chinese army, which generally lacks anti-armor weapons. Although the soldiers of the Chinese army are generally not afraid of death, they often hold explosive packs on the battlefield.
They chose to die together with the Japanese tanks, but from the actual combat effect, this suicide blasting method is not advisable.
Now that there are individual portable anti-tank guns, at least it is much easier to deal with Japanese tanks.
"Just do what the chief of staff said." Yue Weihan smiled and added, "But the name of the man-portable anti-tank gun is too long and hard to remember. I think the principle of this thing is similar to that of a rocket, so I might as well call it
Bazooka."
"Okay." Pi Xiaocheng said, "Just call it a rocket launcher. I'll have someone set up a production line later."
Yue Weihan nodded and suddenly said: "Mr. Pi, I have a few ideas. Let's talk about it when we get back."
Pi Xiaocheng's unexpected invention triggered Yue Weihan's inspiration. Now that the Taihang Arsenal has been initially completed, the production lines for various weapons can be launched soon. Although advanced weapons such as aircraft, tanks, and heavy artillery cannot be manufactured, they can improve existing weapons.
Weapons and the invention of several powerful earthenware equipment are more than enough.
As a time traveler, what Yue Weihan lacks most is such creativity!
Yue Weihan already had several preliminary ideas to strengthen infantry firepower.
The first is the squad light machine gun. Yue Weihan plans to equip each infantry squad of the Baoshan Division with a light machine gun, and the other divisions will each be equipped with a light machine gun for each platoon. As for the model of the squad light machine gun, Yue Weihan will not consider it wrong.
The handle, the little devil's crooked handle constantly malfunctions and the rate of fire is slow. As an infantry suppressive firepower, it is seriously unqualified.
What Yue Weihan is interested in is the Czech-style light machine gun, but it needs to be improved. The ammunition supply method needs to be changed to side-feeding, a sight is installed on the top, and the 20-round magazine needs to be changed to a 200-round metal bullet chain. In this way,
To ensure the accuracy of shooting and the continuity of firepower, the improved Czech type is basically a qualified squad light machine gun.
However, this makes logistical support complicated, because the Czech light machine gun uses 7.92×57mm Mauser bullets, which are not compatible with the Type 38 rifle bullets currently used in large quantities by the 39th Group Army. However, the Taihang Arsenal
After the rifle production line is completed, Yue Weihan still plans to replace a large number of official rifles, so that the logistical support problem will be solved.
Then there are the heartless cannons. It is impossible to produce artillery with a caliber above 105 with the existing equipment and processes of the Etaihang Arsenal. There are two reasons. One is that the quality of the steel is not up to standard, and the other is that there is no large-scale processing equipment. Etaihang Arsenal
The current production capacity can only produce 60- or 80-caliber mortars.
However, the heartless artillery can very well make up for the Thirty-ninth Army's lack of heavy firepower.
The so-called heartless cannon is actually a large-caliber mortar, and the production process is extremely primitive. This thing was invented by Huaye during the Huaihai Campaign. It has a large caliber and great power, but the manufacturing process is extremely rough. To put it bluntly,
Use a large iron tube and a small explosive package to launch the large explosive package, and then rely on the large explosive package to kill the target.
With the current strength of Etaihang Arsenal, it can produce heartless cannons with relatively excellent performance.
First of all, the range of the heartless cannon produced by Taihang Arsenal can definitely exceed one thousand meters, and there are also artillery shells. Yue Weihan does not intend to use pure explosive packs. If pure explosive packs are used, it will affect the range and the killing range will be small. It will be exhausted.
It's only five to ten meters, but if you use shotguns, it's two different concepts!
The so-called shotgun is of course not the real shotgun with complex craftsmanship and smaller caliber in later generations.
Yue Weihan also wants to equip his troops with shotguns. This thing is definitely the ultimate weapon for individual soldiers in jungle warfare, mountain warfare and street fighting. Although the range is not far, one shot can kill a large area! The Thirty-ninth Group Army is really
If you can equip a large number of shotguns, then the little devils will never even think about breaking into the Taihang Mountains. They will definitely die as many as they come.
However, with the current strength of Ethereum Ordnance Industry Mei, it is simply impossible to process real shotguns.
The shotgun Yue Weihan thought of was actually a thin-skinned hollow iron cylinder, which not only had to be filled with a large amount of yellow explosives, but also hundreds of small steel balls or iron nails. The caliber of this hollow iron cylinder ranged from 300mm to 500mm.
, weighing as little as four kilograms and as heavy as twenty kilograms, its lethality is definitely the ultimate level.
