As long as Liu Lang uses the cone-shaped gunpowder patent purchased by Mr. Fan for the warhead of the rocket, and changes the caliber from 51 to 60 to increase the amount of gunpowder in the rocket like the Americans in time and space, this seemingly useless product
The rocket launcher will immediately turn into a nightmare for the main battle tanks of most countries in World War II.
The famous Monroe effect produced by the cone-shaped gunpowder explosion can easily tear through 60 mm of tank armor.
However, even if Liu Lang knew about it, he would not immediately turn the bazooka rockets into high-explosive warheads, because the Chinese battlefield is not a European battlefield. Not to mention that there is no 60mm tank armor on the Chinese battlefield, even 30mm tanks are rare.
.
The armor of the Type 94 ultra-light tank and the Type 89 medium tank that the Japs will run rampant across China in the future is an armored behemoth for the national army and the Red Army who lack anti-tank weapons, but in the eyes of the European powers, it is just an armored vehicle equipped with a machine gun.
That's all. Not to mention that the Type 94 tank, nicknamed "Little Bean Ding" by the people of the future Republic, has the weakest armor steel plate of only 6 mm, which can be shot even by a machine gun. The armor thickness of the so-called medium tanks is only 6 to 6 mm.
17mm.
The "butt-butt-sucking" old men in the Japanese base camp were so stingy that they were reluctant to add steel plates to their army's main battle tanks.
Of course, this has a lot to do with China's weakness at the time. If one of their tanks was blown up instead of running rampant on Chinese soil, look at it, they didn't learn from the European powers and increase the armor of their tanks.
It's weird if it's above 50 mm.
Even though the rocket launcher designed by Qian Wei is not very powerful, and the designer Captain Skinny hired with a high salary from the United States also left in frustration, but at a range of 200 meters, there is still no problem in destroying a small bean sprout. Even if it is eight
The Type 9 medium tank can be easily destroyed by hitting its fragile side and tail armor at a range of up to 150 meters.
In other words, this rocket launcher may be a scumbag in the upcoming European battlefield, but it is enough for the Chinese battlefield. When Mr. Fan gets the cone-shaped gunpowder patent he purchased back to China in the future, let alone the little devil’s little bean sprouts.
Damn it, even those bunkers built by the little devils can no longer serve as a turtle shell to protect them.
However, this time Liu Lang was not in a hurry to finalize the rocket launcher. His request to Qian Wei was to change the 51 caliber that Captain America liked to a 60 caliber on this basis, increase the weight of the explosives in the rocket warhead, and strive to increase the range.
farther.
Even just ten more meters can effectively reduce soldier casualties. Several infantry majors were right. The effective range of 150 meters is too close.
At the same time, Liu Lang also proposed a variety of warhead concepts. If the rocket launcher is only used as a fortress-breaking individual weapon, it would be too wasteful for the independent regiment. Just like the 40-fire that was equipped with a large number of red troops in time and space,
Not only as an anti-tank weapon, but also as a close support artillery.
In other words, when artillery support is lost on the front line, the individual rocket launcher can be used as a direct-aiming artillery. For this reason, Liu Lang brought Qian Wei and Xiong Zhen, who is responsible for the research and development of firearms and ammunition, to the regiment headquarters for academic "
"Inspiration" lasted a whole day. To put it more bluntly, it was just feeding these two people with future ideas. Anyway, Liu Lang was only responsible for copycat ideas. Whether they could make it or not would depend on whether these two people were talented enough.
This day was undoubtedly an eye-opening day for the two technological elites, and it was also a day for them to get acquainted with Liu Tuanzuo, a maniac in war technology.
Liu Tuanzuo's design suggestions for weapons are definitely beyond the ideas of this era, and are also extremely "obscene".
Not to mention the "egg" anti-infantry mine that he took the lead in designing in the past, but now he talks about steel ball anti-personnel rockets that make people break out in cold sweats.
According to Liu Tuanzuo, the bomb did not explode after landing on the ground. Instead, it jumped to a height of 1 to 1.5 meters through the anti-throwing device and detonated the fuze. Then the bomb exploded in the air, using hundreds of steel balls contained in the warhead to attack living creatures.
Kill the target.
When I think about this kind of bomb that does not explode when it hits the ground, but instead bounces into the air and then shoots out hundreds of steel balls and falls into the crowd, although I hate the Japanese devils, these two proud men always feel sorry for those unlucky people.
Chills ran through the vests. They knew very well that although this kind of rocket with a large number of steel ball explosives and less explosives may not be very strong in the shock wave, the lethality is undoubtedly much greater than that. It can even be said to "kill"
The less you get, the more injuries you get. As long as you are hit by a steel ball, it will be a tragic ending.
Of course, Liu Tuanzuo was not a compassionate person who did not want to kill the Japs. He suggested that the purpose of designing this kind of projectile was to make the death of the Japs more painful. The steel balls stuffed into the projectile would not be sterilized, and would even remain in the feces.
Soaked in water, in this era when anti-inflammatory drugs are scarce, the wounded who are heavily infected by bacteria will only die in pain and despair. In other words, they will still die in the end, but it will also make you waste manpower and material resources, preventing you from dying well.
However, this kind of projectile that only shoots steel balls pales in comparison to the incendiary bombs Liu Tuanzuo mentioned. The incendiary bombs are not only filled with explosives, but the steel balls also have white phosphorus incendiary agent with a ignition point of no more than 40 degrees.
The most sinister thing is to mix an adhesive into it. Once the white phosphorus burns, it will quickly lose oxygen and cool down and stop burning, even if it is splashed with water, it will not be extinguished. If it is combined with an adhesive that is not easy to shake off...
.
Although the live ammunition test has not yet been carried out, green flames have already appeared in front of the two proud men. They stick to the Japanese invaders like tarsal maggots and burn crazily until their flesh is burned away, penetrate their bones and even set on fire.
Terrifying images of "human oil".
Because, based on existing technology, these two types of projectiles are not difficult to implement.
In fact, what is difficult is creativity, creativity that kills people.
At this point, Liu Lang, who has more experience than them in the next few decades and has used countless types of murderous weapons from all over the world, dares to say that he is second in this era, and no one dares to say that he is first.
If nothing unexpected happens, the individual rocket launcher named "Guoguo" by Liu Lang himself and several types of rockets used on different battlefields will be basically finalized before June, and all troops should be deployed before the end of this year.
The armed forces still have nearly 8 months of training time.
Liu Lang has decided to add a rocket launcher team to each infantry squad, converting two of the original two machine gun shooters and two auxiliary shooters into a rocket launcher team. The main shooter will carry a rocket launcher, and the deputy shooter will carry three 3.5 kg rounds according to combat needs.
Rockets. In other words, each infantry squad can have the opportunity to fire three rockets when fighting on the front line until the next round of ammunition replenishment.
After all, Liu Lang chose to incorporate rocket launchers into squad troops and squad light machine guns as the core firepower like the red troops of later generations. Even if the Japanese invaders the independent regiment faced were not mechanical legions, they were still infantry-based infantry legions.
, the rocket launcher that is mainly used for armored targets is actually not a magical weapon when facing infantry. It is not as effective as a machine gun in suppressing infantry charges.
However, an infantry squad with three rockets, at least when faced with a fixed firepower point of the Japanese army, has three opportunities to attack and destroy it, instead of having to rush forward with a body of flesh and blood carrying explosives like in the past. With comrades in arms,
They use their flesh and blood to attract enemy firepower, and blasters crawl forward covertly to blow up enemy bunkers. Each time they succeed, they have to sacrifice the lives of several or even a dozen or more comrades. These have been the old man's hidden pain for decades, and every time
His eyes filled with tears when he mentioned it, even when his eye sockets were dry. After experiencing the Battle of the Great Wall and witnessing the soldiers of the 288th and 289th regiments with grenades all over their bodies and drilling into Japanese tanks, Liu Lang was heartbroken and did not want this to happen again.
Be by your side.
Speaking of the light machine gun, the other most important suppressive firepower class in the class, the independent regiment has been using the Czech ZB-26 as the top scorer in the past two years of training. This has always been a worry for Liu Lang, but he actually has the intention to let Professor Ye take the lead.
Research and development of the 56th light machine gun of the 56th family, but the development of the independent group's biggest killer, the storm rocket launcher, involved too much energy of the entire scientific research team.
Rocket artillery is a systematic project. The Su Xiaomei project team is only responsible for a large part of the research and development, such as the propulsion and shooting accuracy of the rocket. However, Xiong Zhen is responsible for the fuze of the warhead and various warhead explosives, while Professor Ye leads the rest.
Students developed 56 semi-automatic rifles and Black Star pistols. Although these basic imitation firearms have been installed in the army, during training, because the hardness and toughness of the steel did not reach the level that should have appeared ten years later,
There have been many glitches in the requirements for firearms.
Regarding this, Liu Lang couldn't criticize him because the independent group had urgent requirements. It only took two years from design to finalization of all guns, and he didn't even have time to conduct live-fire tests in various complex environments. Fortunately, the production capacity of Qinglong Machinery Factory
After importing precision machine tools from the Third Reich, it was greatly improved. In three months, four thousand semi-automatic rifles were produced without any problems.
So Liu Lang simply asked the independent regiment and the security regiment to test the guns during live-fire training. If any problems were found, they would be handed over to Professor Ye's scientific research team. By the second half of 2036, semi-automatic rifles that had been used for more than a year would appear.
It is estimated that all the problems have been found out. The scientific research team will re-improve the design, and the better quality steel imported from the United States by Huamei Arsenal will be in place. At that time, all the equipment will be re-installed.
All guns with design defects will be sealed in the base warehouse and will only be reactivated in the event of an emergency at the base.
In other words, Liu Lang used live ammunition training instead of the more time-consuming tests before the gun was finalized. He saved time but spent more money. He was crazy about using pirated sulfa drugs from the future to absorb wealth from European and American countries.
Liu Tuanzuo is rich now.
But obviously, it is too late for the scientific research team to develop the 56th light machine gun. Even though there is still a year and a half before full-scale war, there is not enough time for them to develop, test, produce and install it. Even if there is enough time
, Liu Lang, who had not experienced a large number of live ammunition firings, would not dare to hand it over to his soldiers so hastily. If it malfunctioned on the battlefield, the lives of the soldiers would be lost.
His soldiers can die on the way to charge or in the trenches of a last-ditch battle, but they cannot die from enemy bullets due to their own weapon malfunction.
In addition to light machine guns, there are naturally submachine guns, which are also important weapons to contain the Japanese aggressors. In the past, the Chinese army and the Red Army have proven with facts that in close firefights, the awesome 38 Gai encounters submachine guns.
He is just a scumbag and is often beaten to tears.
Therefore, Liu Lang must complete the last two pieces of the firepower puzzle of the independent regiment infantry as soon as possible.
