Yang Mingzhi increasingly felt that his revised combat plan was very similar to the "Heavenly Furnace Warfare", that is, sending small troops to stimulate the enemy, luring the enemy to go deep alone, and then launching an encirclement and annihilation after they reach the preset area.
The key to the victory of the troops is that excellent strategic planning is of course very important, and weapons and equipment are also the key to whether they can win the combat objectives.
At least this retreat mode of decisive battle can force the enemy to lose touch with infantry and heavy weapons units due to the swamp, so that the Soviet army can avoid being obliterated by the enemy's heavy artillery. If the enemy is to be eliminated in a short time, the Soviet army must also use some kind of large-scale killer weapon.
.
The swamp treats everyone equally. It can make it difficult for enemy tanks and heavy artillery to move forward, and the same applies to the Soviet army. Only the Soviet army is familiar with the terrain and knows the twists and turns, and can quickly shuttle through the swamp area.
Yang Mingzhi understands very well that once the enemy enters the preset area, it must be eliminated as soon as possible in order not to disrupt the rhythm of the subsequent combat.
How to quickly annihilate the enemy? He had that in mind - fungicides.
Lao Maozi's use of airdrops to drop ethylene oxide is actually a way to commit suicide. Once the contents of the damaged pressure cylinder are leaked, the result may be an explosion! It is a material that is so active that it is absolutely impossible to use it as a weapon.
no problem.
It has long been mass-produced by many industrial countries and used as an extremely efficient fungicide. Yang Mingzhi estimates that he is the first person in this time and space to use "fungicide" as a weapon in actual combat.
Yes, now Yang Mingzhi finally decided to let the German army experience the power of intensive use of cloud bombs!
After the meeting, Yang Mingzhi followed Liguschkov, who was present at the meeting, directly to the arsenal and to the independent warehouse.
With a dull face, Liguschkov ordered his subordinates to open the covered wooden boards and carefully began to move all the cylinders from the underground warehouse out.
Yang Mingzhi also had a dull face, watching the guards and arsenal staff pulling up the silver bottles one by one and stacking them neatly one by one.
"Commander, are you serious?" Liguschkov asked worriedly, "These things are very dangerous. Are you really determined to weaponize them?"
"Yes, and I told you a long time ago that the arsenal will manufacture fifty special rocket launchers based on these fifty bottles of fungicides. This work was interrupted due to the mass production of Catfish rocket launchers."
"You are right. If you make up your mind now, I swear on behalf of the two thousand workers in the arsenal that we will produce as much as possible."
Yang Mingzhi nodded with satisfaction: "Your momentum makes me feel. Now let's talk about something more realistic. I want these cylinders to be used as the warhead of the rocket launcher! Are there any questions?"
"No problem, but..."
"Is it about various aerodynamic troubles? Don't worry, I will accompany you tonight and strive to start full production in the arsenal when the sun rises tomorrow."
Yang Mingzhi realized that he was in a race against time. The war was about to begin, and the two armies would be in contact on July 5th at the earliest. Whether he could create powerful cloud bombs in a few days, the first step was to use his
Drawing begins!
Yang Mingzhi quickly gathered his subordinates from the Weapons Design Bureau. Before the war, a new rocket launcher research and development operation was launched.
After gathering his men, he seriously issued a death order: "None of you can rest tonight. No one is allowed to sleep until the drawings and process flow are completed! Anyone who dozes off will be handed over directly to the internal affairs department.
department."
It was obvious that the commander was impatient.
Many designers are engaged in intense work, and so is Yang Mingzhi. For many days, he has not slept well at all. As soon as the battle in Loev stopped, the German army sent a large army to retaliate. It is worth his sobriety, he is like this
My body is still strong after the hard work, and I don't get sick as much as I did at the beginning of the month.
Yang Mingzhi thought carefully about designing a new rocket launcher for fifty fungicide cylinders and felt that it was too difficult.
The ultimate purpose of this weapon is to deliver the warhead to the enemy's position in some way.
Therefore, the weapon manufactured was a rocket launcher. This idea was quickly rejected by Yang Mingzhi himself. He did not need the cylinder to fly several kilometers, as long as it could fly two or three kilometers, it was enough.
This is the maximum range of large-caliber mortars. It is a good method to use ejection to throw the cylinder.
Finally, when the light of July 2 shone through the cracks in the window, Yang Mingzhi also completed his latest weapon design.
From a principle perspective, this is a new type of recoilless gun.
The arsenal will manufacture a fairing for each cylinder, then install a booster rocket and weld on three tail fins.
When the drawings came into Liguschkov's hands, the first impression he gave the old guy was really funny.
"Hey! Why do I think this looks like a huge RPG missile?"
Yang Mingzhi, with dark circles under his eyes, did not shy away from it: "What you said is very appropriate. In a sense, it is a huge RPG missile, but its booster rocket can be replaced by a Catfish rocket. It is different from the Catfish rocket, and we don't need to talk about it.
The propellant charge is very solid. We need to use up the fuel in a short period of time, just like a recoilless rifle, and then the projectile will fall by inertia, and it will be more like a mortar shell."
"Compared to mortar shells, its power is amazing!" Liguschkov agreed.
"Of course! After you complete the manufacturing, we conduct a surprise experiment to confirm that my ballistic math calculations are correct."
"Okay, I will order all workers to produce this."
"Don't rush to make a guarantee!" Yang Mingzhi ordered with a wooden face: "You give 72 hours, and mobilize as many workers as possible. I know you are not short of raw materials for manufacturing. You must put fifty coins in 72 hours
The finished product must be manufactured, otherwise, we will have a great adverse impact on our military's operations."
"Yes! I will complete the task." Liguschkov stood at attention and saluted.
Yang Mingzhi's expression did not change at all, and his coldness made people a little frightened. "Comrade Liguschkov, you have sworn an oath! Because this is a matter of life and death for the 60,000 soldiers and civilians of the Guerrilla Republic, I will not protect you.
!If you can’t complete the task, I will shoot you!”
Liguschkov was even more unambiguous: "You should leave it to yourself to eliminate the fascists! With your blueprints, there is no way we will fail."
This man stayed true to his word!
Yang Mingzhi was so tired that he went directly to the rest room after returning to the headquarters. The troops were mobilized according to the battle plan after rest, and a large amount of military supplies were still being transported to the front line. During the few hours he slept,
Everything is safe and sound, everything is running in an orderly manner.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when Yang Mingzhi woke up. He rushed out of the lounge and ran to the communications room like a spring. Only after he was sure that there was no new telegram from the guerrilla movement headquarters did he feel at ease.
"Very good! That's great! All the troops are acting according to my plan. I'm not afraid of anything in this battle!"
Yang Mingzhi's soliloquy made Yevlov, Fomin and others present very happy. As long as the general is so confident, anyone's worries are groundless.
