"There are also tanks!" Zhang Wanhe glanced at Wang Xuexin unexpectedly and said, "Tanks are also ground targets. So... this gun can also hit tanks?"
"It must be possible!" Wang Xuexin replied.
Just kidding, RPGs are a magic tool for dealing with tanks. If they can’t fight, can they still be called RPGs?
But Wang Xuexin's words, which he took for granted, immediately aroused everyone's uproar.
Being able to fight tanks is a big deal.
Although the performance of the Japanese tanks is not good, China is extremely short of anti-tank equipment and does not have the ability to produce tanks. The tanks imported from abroad are also outdated and outdated.
For example, Italian-made CV-33, Soviet-made T26, British-made Vickers, etc. are all of World War I level and their quantities are extremely limited.
This makes the Japanese tanks invincible on the Chinese battlefield. In the battles involving tanks, they often inflict over 10,000 casualties on the Chongqing side at the cost of just a few hundred people... A considerable part of which is due to the fact that the Japanese tanks were defeated.
Get frightened, or lose the confidence to fight and choose to surrender.
At this time, Wang Xuexin actually designed a piece of equipment and confidently said that it could fight tanks. No one believed it!
The chief of staff was surprised and happy, and quickly asked Wen to write it down. He even had the idea of calling the chief at all costs.
Zhang Wanhe remained silent. He hesitated. It is said that other countries are more advanced than China. If this thing is so good, why can't others think of it?
Su Xin took the picture drawn by Wang Xuexin in her hand and looked at it carefully, as if she wanted to find flaws in it.
The hardware guys were whispering among themselves, some saying it would work and some saying it wouldn't work, but they all had their own opinions.
"Comrade Wang Xuexin!" Li Changji looked unbelieving: "I think the key point is still accuracy. We have all seen the test firing of the 'spray bomb'. It can hit a target of 300 meters and it can deviate by 100 meters. That is, using this thing
It’s difficult to hit a fixed target, but you want to use it to hit a moving tank, which is a fantasy!”
The Chief of Staff also had this concern. He nodded and said: "That's right, Comrade Wang Xuexin, have you overestimated the role of this 'spray bomb'? Also, can this 'spray bomb' be improved after improvement?"
Improve accuracy?”
"Chief of Staff!" Wang Xuexin said truthfully: "We haven't found a way to improve accuracy yet."
In fact, excessive pursuit of accuracy in rockets is a directional error, and Wang Xuexin does not consider this at all.
The chief of staff was quite disappointed after hearing this.
Wang Xuexin said: "It does have accuracy problems, but we can hit it closer to improve the hit rate as much as possible!"
"Close?" Li Changji asked curiously: "How close is that?"
"I'm not sure!" Wang Xuexin replied: "Director Li, this thing hasn't been completed yet, who knows how far it can hit! About one or two hundred meters!"
Wang Xuexin made this estimate based on a discount on the range of modern rocket launchers.
"Comrade Wang Xuexin!" Li Changji tapped his fingers on the table and said fluently: "You should know that the Japanese rifle has a range of more than 400 meters, the grenade has a range of 500 meters, in addition to machine guns, etc., when the enemy is so far away and so
In the face of strong firepower, we have to carry this thing close to a distance of more than 100 meters to hit enemy tanks?"
"Otherwise?" Wang Xuexin asked, "Shall we rush forward with explosive packs or cluster grenades to explode?"
After saying this, Li Changji became silent.
The reason is simple. It is not easy to fight a tank at a distance of more than 100 meters.
The problem is that China currently does not have any anti-tank equipment, so it can only organize demolition teams to use human lives to pile up. In this case, it is not easy to destroy enemy tanks let alone more than 100 meters, even 50 meters, or 30 meters.
At this time, Su Xin asked a question: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, during the last test firing of the 'spray bomb', I noticed that they ignited the rope from a distance. I guess this is because if they are too close, they will be sprayed into
Bullet tail flame burns!"
As she spoke, Su Xin turned her questioning eyes to Wang Xuexin.
"Yes." Wang Xuexin replied: "The tail flame will spread to about one meter!"
Su Xin flashed the picture in the direction of Wang Xuexin and asked: "So, how can we prevent the shooter from being burned?"
Wang Xuexin couldn't help but secretly praise it. This girl was so attentive that no one else noticed this problem. He thought he could just ignore it because he would have known about it during the delivery anyway. But he was singled out anyway.
"There are many solutions!" Wang Xuexin replied: "For example, adding a baffle on the front end, or wearing a protective helmet for the shooter, but this will definitely increase the weight, and it will be inconvenient to run around and not safe to fight. So I thought about it.
Come on...can we use part of the gunpowder to eject the warhead first, and then ignite it and fly towards the target!"
Su Xin was startled by Wang Xuexin's idea. It was divided into two stages: first ejection and then relying on "spraying" to move forward... This is not what ordinary people can imagine.
However, it seems feasible. This way, there will be no tail flame problem, and at the same time, it will not bring additional burden and inconvenience to the shooter.
Wanting to see, Su Xin looked at Wang Xuexin with disbelief.
She didn't believe that this was a method that Wang Xuexin came up with on the spot. From the look on his face, it seemed that he had known about this for a long time, and he knew all the advantages and disadvantages in his heart and knew how to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses!
Seeing that everyone was arguing, Zhang Wanhe raised his head at the picture and asked Hardware: "Director Wu, is it difficult to produce this thing?"
Hardware took the picture, looked at it, and said: "This thing is not a gun barrel. It can be made of toughened steel. It will take ten and a half days to complete!"
After hearing this, Zhang Wanhe turned his attention to the Chief of Staff and asked: "Chief of Staff, how about we do it? Anyway, there is nothing to lose. Just put the thing together and try it. Then it will be clear whether it works! Otherwise!
We’ve been talking here for a long time and each of us has our own thing to say!”
The chief of staff was right when he thought about it. We won’t know whether it’s a mule or a horse until we take it out for a walk.
So he nodded and said: "No problem, I'll ask the chief for instructions right away. I guess it's no problem. You can discuss it and make preparations!"
Zhang Wanhe responded: "Waiting for your news!"
The chief of staff reported the situation to the chief as soon as he returned to the headquarters.
The commander listened while sending a report to the front line. When he heard that this thing could hit tanks, he turned around with excitement.
"Is it true?" the chief said, "Can we fight tanks? That will give us a lot of initiative in fighting in plain areas!"
Part of the reason why the Eighth Route Army wanted to hide in the mountains was that the Japanese had tanks and armored vehicles, especially armored trains... Although this thing relied on railway mobility, it had strong firepower, sufficient ammunition, and comprehensive protection.
Hard bones to move.
For example, in this battle, Japanese armored trains ran back and forth on the railway line, causing great trouble to the Eighth Route Army.
If there is a kind of equipment that can be carried on the shoulder, it can fight tanks...
