In the back mountain, more than a dozen soldiers were gathering at the col to practice shooting with rocket launchers on their shoulders.
These rocket launcher shooters look like new recruits undergoing basic movement training, but in fact they are all veterans who have fired rocket launchers on the battlefield.
Firepower team leader Sun Defa was also among them.
This guy made the right choice to be the team leader. During the battle in Yucun, he killed two tanks by himself, and also killed and wounded more than a dozen Japanese with rockets.
When Wang Xuexin asked him about his combat experience, he chuckled and replied: "Company commander, it's actually not a big deal! One of me can run fast, and the other can read smoke!"
It is understandable that he can run fast. This is Sun Defa's specialty. He is a mountain porter. After that competition, his comrades gave him the nickname "Porter". Simply put, he can pick and run.
but……
"What's going on with the smoke?" Wang Xuexin asked.
"Smoke is the speed and direction of the wind!" The porter replied: "The wind can be seen, so we can estimate the amount of smoke in advance, and then try to choose a place with a single wind direction. If the smoke is suddenly fast and slow or turns back and forth,
It’s definitely not accurate!”
Wang Xuexin nodded with an "Oh", and then asked the porter to pass on this experience to other members of the fire team.
At this moment, Wang Xuexin saw two officers in gray and blue military uniforms climbing up the hill from a distance, and raised his head towards the porters.
The porter loaded a rocket on the spot and shouted to the soldiers: "Land your elbows on the ground, your body and the axis of the rocket launcher are at a 45-degree angle, and the muzzle is 15cm from the ground..."
Then with a "chirp" sound, the rocket flew out and accurately hit the car steel plate 80 meters away.
Acting requires a complete performance, and if you want to satisfy the "customer", of course you have to perform better.
Therefore, Wang Xuexin specially chose a mountain col with the gentlest wind, otherwise it would be difficult for even a porter to hit the target 80 meters away.
Chu Yunfei and Sun Ming, who were running up the hill, couldn't help but look at each other in shock when they saw this scene.
"It turns out that the intelligence is true!" Chu Yunfei said: "The Eighth Route Army really changed the Japanese's 'spray bomb' into an anti-tank weapon!"
Before this, Chu Yunfei simply did not believe that the Eighth Route Army could accomplish this with such crude equipment and no military personnel.
Now that he has seen it with his own eyes, he cannot disbelieve it.
"Regiment seat!" Adjutant Sun Ming looked at the distance and said, "It's at least eighty meters away. Eighty meters away can destroy Japanese tanks..."
Chu Yunfei fell silent.
They were not completely devoid of anti-tank weapons, but they were so few that they were almost negligible.
As far as Chu Yunfei knows, the Republic of China government purchased German Pak36 anti-tank guns in 1936, but the total number was only 120. They had long been destroyed by the enemy in battle or had malfunctioned and were scrapped.
So the Japanese tanks became a worry for them.
(Note: In 1941, I purchased the drawings and prototypes of the Swiss Soloton 37mm anti-tank gun and successfully trial-produced it, but the key parts needed to be imported and only 94 units were produced)
Under such circumstances, the Eighth Route Army was able to develop an individual anti-tank weapon and pass the test on the battlefield. It is incredible!
"Let's go and have a look!" With that said, Chu Yunfei took his adjutant and ran down the mountain quickly, for fear of being overtaken by Li Yunlong behind him.
In fact, if Li Yunlong hadn't let him down intentionally, how could Chu Yunfei have outrun Li Yunlong with his pampered legs?
When Li Yunlong caught up with Chu Yunfei, the latter had already observed the training of Wang Xuexin and others at close range.
"Brother Yunlong!" Chu Yunfei smiled: "Is this the grenade you are talking about?"
Li Yunlong smiled "hehe": "Isn't that right? Aren't they... just flying grenades?"
Chu Yunfei had nothing to say, and Li Yunlong’s explanation seemed right!
"Brother Yunlong!" Chu Yunfei said: "You just used these flying grenades to knock out a Japanese tank squadron, right? That was more than twenty tanks and armored vehicles. Chu Mou admires it!"
Li Yunlong smiled "hehe": "It's not that cool. This thing has insufficient range and is of no use... How about we look at something else?"
Li Yunlong is retreating in order to advance. He knows that everyone is curious. The more you don't let him see you, the more curious he will be, and then he will get deeper and deeper and kill him as he pleases.
"Range?" Chu Yunfei snorted: "Eighty meters is indeed insufficient, but if there is darkness and smoke, plus the maneuverability of this object, it can shine!"
Li Yunlong tilted his head and nodded: "Brother Chu is an expert..."
"Li Yunlong!" Zhao Gang stopped Li Yunlong from continuing with a low voice, and then politely said to Chu Yunfei: "Captain Chu, why don't we talk somewhere else?"
Chu Yunfei laughed "haha" and said: "Political Commissar Zhao, I'll tell you the truth. The national crisis is facing us. You and I are both soldiers, and we should serve the country and fight against the outside world. Now that your army has such anti-tank weapons, it is attacking me
Isn't it unbecoming of a gentleman to be secretive?"
Zhao Gang never expected that Chu Yunfei would bite him back, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Li Yunlong laughed and continued: "Brother Chu, can your army be a gentleman by telling you what kind of weapons you have? We should also reciprocate politely!"
Chu Yunfei was speechless for a moment. There were countless types of equipment produced by the Eighth Route Army without telling them, but he was just accustomed to it and took it for granted.
Sun Ming interjected at this time: "Captain Li, if our army intends to purchase this..."
"Bazooka!" Li Yunlong said.
"Bazooka!" Sun Ming continued: "For the great cause of resisting Japan, I don't think your army will refuse, right?"
"Oops!" Li Yunlong said: "Adjutant Sun, you are right. I didn't want to refuse, but we don't have enough ourselves? Who told us to keep fighting the Japanese? And your army... I heard that he is fighting the Japanese recently.
Negotiation, then why do you need a rocket launcher? Are you negotiating terms with the Japanese?"
Chu Yunfei's face turned red and white at these words.
After a while, he sighed and said sincerely: "Brother Yunlong, I have no control over the matters going up to the peak. Chu doesn't want to get involved in partisan disputes, but he wants national independence and freedom. Chu thinks that your army is too
This is true, and so is Brother Yunlong. I wonder if Chu is right?"
Li Yunlong put away his cynical attitude, clasped his fists and replied: "Brother Chu is a man. Since you and I are both here to fight the Japanese, I will consider this matter..."
"Li Yunlong!" Zhao Gang interrupted Li Yunlong with a dark face, and then took Li Yunlong aside.
Chu Yunfei couldn't hear what they said clearly, but he vaguely heard a few words:
"What tricks are you doing!"
"This is a serious disciplinary issue!"
"It can be regarded as collaboration with the enemy."
…
Li Yunlong replied disapprovingly:
"It's all about beating devils!"
"We are short of food."
…
Chu Yunfei winked at Sun Ming and whispered: "Use Li Yunlong as a breakthrough!"
