Whether it's a long throw or an accurate throw, it all exists for offense.
Therefore, long-handled grenades are classified as offensive grenades, while melon-type grenades with a throwing range of 30 meters are classified as defensive.
The Great Wall War of Resistance that Liu Lang and the Independent Regiment will participate in half a year later is basically a defensive operation, and long-handled grenades do not meet Liu Lang's tactical needs.
The melon-style grenade with a grid pattern on its surface has the advantages of greater fragmentation lethality, small size, light weight, and the ability to be carried by a single soldier in greater quantities. It is obviously more in line with the tactical needs of defensive operations.
Liu Lang did not intend to develop the modern super grenade that could blow up a house with a single TNT in one step. Instead, he used a black powder explosion method that was suitable for this era.
It’s just that Liu Lang learned what the Red Army did during the Anti-Japanese War. Because of the blockade by the Japanese army and even the Nationalist Government, the Red Army, which relied on its own efforts to develop military industry, may be the only army on the planet that has designed a variety of individual light weapons. Just grenades.
This kind, from cast iron to ceramics to bamboo and wood, all kinds of materials can be used, there is no one that has not been tried.
Although there are some suspicions of indiscriminate medical treatment for emergencies, and even some grenades were thrown out and beat the Japanese army to the ground, but they did not explode, and their effect was equivalent to throwing a stone. However, no one can deny that those who cannot be called
The military workers in the military industry made such elaborate creations to fight against the Japanese aggressors.
Stuffing iron nails and broken iron pieces into grenades is one of the creations of the red military industry. This creation greatly increases the lethality of grenades. When the Japanese army encounters such grenades, their hearts often collapse. They are accelerated to hundreds of meters by the explosives.
Every second, the iron fragments pierce any part of the body, leaving a bloody hole. If you are lucky enough to survive, you will have to undergo surgery to remove the iron fragments.
After all, there is only one Rambo who uses burning gunpowder to sterilize, and digs his own arm with a knife to remove bullets, and he is an American.
Liu Lang only suggested that the workers put some small steel balls into the grenades. They don't need to be very big, just as big as mung beans. Of course, it is better for the steel balls to have been soaked in excrement water for a few days.
In this era, soldiers who died due to wound infection and lack of antibiotics accounted for almost 70% of the death rate, and there was no exception just because they were Japanese.
The veteran military engineers in the machinery factory were sweating coldly at Fat Tuan Zuo's "evil" thoughts, and at the same time they had to marvel at the design drawing of the grenade trigger fuse provided by Fat Tuan Zuo. It was definitely a genius design.
If the modern grenade fuse, which was decades ahead of its time, can't be called a genius, then it really has no genius. The structure of a grenade is actually very simple, including a projectile body, explosives, and a fuse. The fuse detonates the explosive, and the explosive explodes.
The projectile breaks into fragments, killing the enemy.
The most important of them is of course the fuse. How to explode and when to explode are all a matter of course. If not done right, the grenade can become an explosive hanging on the body, which can turn the carrier into an angel at any time.
The kind with wings.
Because all the wings were blown away.
The fuze designed by Liu Lang is a fuze developed by the Republic of China in the 1980s. It is a vertical firing pin fuze. Pull the ring-mounted handle, the hammer fires upward to fire the needle flash cap, and the flame is sprayed vertically downward to ignite the ignition powder and delay powder. Five to
The projectile exploded seven seconds later. The thoughtful design of the Republic's military industry is very suitable for Chinese soldiers who are accustomed to throwing grenades after pulling the fuse, including those of this era.
Compared with the ridiculous impact-fired grenades that the Japanese army equipped a large number of troops with five years later, which need to be hit on the helmet and then thrown, Liu Lang's design can kill them to pieces in an instant. If there were no helmets, would they just use their own?
forehead?
Of course, that is a bit of a joke, but it is normal for impact grenades to explode early. It is also the only country in the world that stubbornly uses impact grenades. It is a very strange country. Even if you understand the design of this country
After having produced many weapons, you would think that at least one-third of Japan’s military designers were sent there by the Chinese government as a precaution decades ago—its own people.
Another factory that Liu Lang attaches great importance to is not a weapons manufacturer, but a garment factory, which specializes in making military uniforms, quilts, and shoes. Moreover, Liu Lang specially asked Ji Yanxue to send a telegram to his father,
Ask the well-known chaebol in North China to hire three textile factory engineers who are extremely knowledgeable about fabrics with high salaries to come to Guangyuan.
When his precious daughter made a request, Boss Ji, like other senior executives of the independent group, felt that Liu Lang was making a fuss out of a molehill, but he also tried his best and helped Liu Lang settle the matter in just a few days.
The monthly salary of up to 200 yuan is comparable to that of a professor at Tsinghua University and Yanda University. Not to mention going to Sichuan, even going to Tibet is not a big problem.
It's just that Sichuan is a long way away, taking more than a month. The three engineers arrived at the Independence Regiment base more than ten days ago. After a long secret talk with Liu Lang, the Independence Regiment, a garment factory with an investment of up to 10,000 yuan, arrived at the base two days ago.
The samples taken out made the senior executives of the independent group dumbfounded.
A set of coarse canvas clothes that are garish from head to toe, and a pair of strange shoes with rubber soles at the bottom and canvas uppers, and laces unique to leather shoes.
In camouflage uniforms and liberation shoes, Colonel Liu continued to use the characteristics of time traveler plug-ins and brought these two essential clothing items for future Republic soldiers to this era decades ahead of schedule.
Of course, camouflage uniforms are not original to China. As early as the beginning of the 20th century, more than a decade before the Republic of China, the British army that invaded South Africa began to try to use such camouflage uniforms to reduce casualties in jungle operations, and the effect was remarkable.
During World War II, the strict Germans used three-color camouflage extensively with remarkable results, and other countries began to follow suit. China, which stubbornly used peaceful green military uniforms, did not finally activate camouflage until the jungle counterattack with heavy casualties.
Research on military uniforms. Although it started a little late, it is still much better than not doing it at all, right?
For China in this era, it was probably the first time that several textile factory engineers who had studied fabrics came into contact with the idea of splicing three-color patterns into military uniforms in no order. It took Liu Lang more than ten days to make a sample that gave Liu Lang a
I feel the same unbearable feeling as my subordinates.
But at least we have a beginning, right? In any case, wearing this camouflage uniform similar to a beggar's version, Liu Lang regained a bit of the feeling of his previous life.
Although Ji Yanxue couldn't help but smile.
Let’s talk about Jiefang shoes, which are the first high-quality products of the Republic. From the early 1950s to the beginning of the new century, they were a must-have item for tens of millions of soldiers of the Republic. A kind of military boots has not changed for fifty years, and it is also
It can be regarded as a miracle in the history of world military affairs.
The structure and craftsmanship of Jiefang shoes are actually very simple, with a rubber sole and cloth surface. China in this era can completely produce them in large quantities. But it is a bittersweet thing to say.
The rubber industry in the Republic of China has just started, and it is distributed in Hainan, Yunnan, and Guangdong and Guangxi, which are areas severely divided by warlords. Even if the central government wants some rubber, it has to buy it with white cash and airplanes.
There is not enough rubber on cannon cars, so who would think of using rubber to make shoes? Even if there is, it is naturally very few.
Therefore, soldiers of the Central Army who are in better condition can only wear cloth shoes. Cloth shoes are light and comfortable, and are extremely suitable for long-distance marches. They are actually very suitable military shoes for the national army that has not yet entered mechanization.
However, the thin soles of cloth shoes are easily damaged after long-distance marching.
You can't carry multiple pairs of shoes on your back when you are marching and fighting! Of course, a living person cannot suffocate to death. If cloth shoes are not durable, we will wear straw sandals. Straw sandals only need grass, and the materials can be found everywhere.
Therefore, whether it is the national army or the red army soldiers, straw sandals have become standard equipment.
