Sure enough, Sun Erwei tried to fire the rocket launcher himself, and his movements were as skillful as if he had fired them before.
Wang Xuexin knew that Sun Erwei had never fought before, because he didn't even know where the safety of the rocket was.
But he was able to use it with ease... This shows that he must have studied the equipment, and he has studied it a lot.
"Have you been a soldier before?" Wang Xuexin asked.
Sun Erwei just smiled and did not answer. It was not convenient for him to reveal his secret too much.
In fact, Sun Erwei's influence is much greater than Wang Xuexin imagined. He even has a personal relationship with the president. This is one of the reasons why he was sent to Shanghai to take on this important job... Working in Shanghai is a fat job, and it is also
Very important.
"Okay!" Seeing that Sun Erwei didn't answer, Wang Xuexin didn't ask further questions. He just raised his eyebrows and said, "You are a reporter. You ask questions and I answer them, right?"
Sun Erwei was a little surprised by Wang Xuexin's behavior and demeanor.
"King!" Sun Erwei looked at Wang Xuexin doubtfully: "Why do I feel...that you are different from others?"
"What's the difference?" Wang Xuexin asked.
"I can't tell!" Sun Erwei replied: "Your expression, actions, and answers...are you a student of Shi Liu?"
Wang Xuexin was startled, and then he understood what was going on.
When Wang Xuexin faced Li Yunlong and other soldiers at home, he would always talk about "we", "what", "fuck" and the like.
With Sun Erwei, he returned to the modern tone of voice and demeanor... This should be said to be a natural change affected by the environment, and even Wang Xuexin himself was not aware of it.
Sun Erwei saw something, so he said this.
"No!" Wang Xuexin replied: "I have never studied abroad!"
"My bad!" Sun Erwei spread his hands, then raised the rocket launcher and asked, "Can you tell me how you solved the accuracy problem of this thing?"
"We haven't solved it yet!" Wang Xuexin replied.
"But..." Sun Erwei looked puzzled.
"Do we need to solve this problem?" Wang Xuexin asked: "Is there any individual weapon that can destroy enemy tanks fifty meters away like it?"
Sun Erwei was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"That's right, King!" Sun Erwei said: "War inherently requires luck!"
This is what is said.
Everyone hopes that weapons produced can hit the target 100%, but the fact is that it takes tens of thousands of bullets to kill an enemy on average.
So, why do rocket launchers require high accuracy?
Especially now that anti-tank grenades and anti-tank guns are needed.
Although the former is a personal equipment, it is not effective if the distance is too close.
Although the latter has high accuracy and good effects, it is difficult to maneuver and the target is too large.
The rocket launcher fills the gap, at least for now, it is irreplaceable.
Thinking of this, Sun Erwei couldn't help but cursed. These idiots actually used the excuse that the rocket launcher was too inaccurate to be effective on the battlefield as an excuse not to produce or equip it!
Go back and tell them this story and let them know how stupid this idea is!
At this time, Wang Xuexin was thinking about a question: how to get benefits from Sun Erwei, or what benefits he could get!
There are many benefits that can be obtained, such as guns and ammunition needed by the Eighth Route Army.
At this time, Yingjiang was completely replacing M1 Garand rifles, and a large number of Springfield rifles were used to support other countries. The stubborn army successively received equipment from dozens of divisions.
(Note: Although the M1 rifle was mass-produced in 1936, it underwent a major modification and was not fully equipped until 1940)
What the Eighth Route Army lacked most at this time was equipment, especially rifles.
To what extent is it lacking?
There are only 90,000 rifles in the 400,000-strong army.
Li Yunlong's independent regiment was able to fully equip its rifles because it fought more battles and captured more rifles.
If these 90,000 rifles can be used, then that's it. After all, nearly a quarter of the soldiers have guns.
The problem is that guns are consumables and have a lifespan, especially reloadable bullets, which have a short lifespan. After a few battles, the barrels will explode and the rifling will be polished, countless of them.
After the Hundred Regiment War, the headquarters conducted a statistics on the situation of guns, and concluded that 80% of the guns were overused, the rifling had been worn flat, the caliber had become loose, and the shooting was basically ineffective.
Eighty percent!
Even more than 70,000 guns are barely used, and they may explode at any time if they are not accurate.
If we really want to consider effective firearms, there are only 20,000 of them.
Many soldiers are only equipped with a box cannon or even a sword and spear, or several people use a rifle together.
If it weren't for the support of bullet mines, jumping mines, and directional mines, as well as the assistance of rocket launchers, Molotov cocktails, etc., we really wouldn't be able to fight a defensive battle.
It is definitely impossible to give guns to the stubborn army. The Jinsui Army is now huddled in a corner. Although it has common interests with the Eighth Route Army, rifles, especially large numbers of rifles, are the foundation of the army. It is almost impossible to make Yan Laoxi'er spit it out.
So we can only rely on foreign aid.
The problem is that Ying Jiang...has been on the stubborn side from the beginning to the end, which is a bit difficult to deal with!
After thinking about it, Wang Xuexin felt that there was a way to try.
"Sun Erwei!" Wang Xuexin said: "I want to show you some good things. I wonder if you are interested?"
"Yes, of course!" Sun Erwei nodded.
So Wang Xuexin showed Sun Erwei bullet mines, jumping mines and directional mines respectively.
Wang Xuexin did not think of these things as secret weapons.
Just kidding, with Yingjiang’s industrial capabilities and technical level, these things can be made just by looking at them, and there is no way they can be kept secret.
Among them, jumping mines are already available internationally, and there are also imitations of eagle sauce.
But Sun Erwei was still shocked when he saw the thunder.
"King!" Sun Erwei said: "This kind of tripping mine requires a delay fuse, but you can actually mass-produce it?"
Time fuzes, especially accurate delay fuzes, are not cheap. They are fine when used on artillery shells, but when used on cheap mines... that is a luxury!
Wang Xuexin replied: "We did not use a delay fuse, only a steel wire!"
"Steel wire?" Sun Erwei looked at Wang Xuexin in disbelief.
However, Sun Erwei is also a smart man. He figured it out after a while. He nodded in admiration and said: "What a great idea. We should also learn this cheap and practical method!"
Sun Erwei refused to accept it.
Bullet mines are simple and practical, jumping mines are powerful anti-infantry weapons, and directional mines are the king of defense... He really doesn't understand how these seemingly backward Eighth Route Army came up with so many interesting equipment.
At this time, Wang Xuexin asked: "Sun, how about we start a business?"
Sun Erwei smiled, shook his head and replied: "No, no, Wang, these things are very interesting, but..."
But there is no need to say anything more. He only needs to bring these ideas back. There is no need to buy them, so there will be no business.
