Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters finished rocket launcher
Several canteens in Novgomel are operating at full capacity to produce ready-to-eat military rations, and Catfish Village and Black Earth Village have also provided relevant assistance. And because some villagers have also joined in, the key issue of military rations will not be a problem.
According to Yang Mingzhi's plan, this operation would definitely last ten days! On the surface, the Soviet army seemed to ambush the train and blow up the railway, then go to a prisoner-of-war camp to loot, and then they could evacuate by saving a few people.
It looks like it's within reach.
In order to avoid anything going wrong during the operation, logistics must be done well.
Soldiers carry ten days' worth of military rations, and each person has to eat nearly one kilogram of food per day. It is not realistic for a soldier to carry ten kilograms of food, but ** kilograms are still available.
Regardless of whether the operation lasts for ten full days, whether the soldiers will eventually finish the ten-day quota of "high-end" rations. You must have it at the critical moment. If the army finally saves a large number of prisoners of war, it will definitely be a group of hungry and panting people.
It is unrealistic to expect that the warehouses of the German prisoner-of-war camps will have a lot of food, and it is unrealistic to expect that the German army will take pity on the prisoners of war and provide them with enough food.
At that time, part of the rations held by the soldiers would also have reason to be given to these poor guys.
In addition to the canteen's kitchen, Yang Mingzhi went to the arms warehouse of the arsenal without stopping.
For a soldier who is about to fight in the field, he must care about three things: food, weapons and ammunition, and accommodation.
The food problem is no longer a problem, the accommodation problem is just two blankets tied in a backpack.
The most critical issue is only weapons and equipment.
"A soldier has to march long distances and has to carry enough luggage. His load will never be less than 20 kilograms." Yang Mingzhi's long-term inherent understanding is based on Chinese people, but Mao Zi's general body shape
The taller they are, the more powerful they are, and the requirements for their weight-bearing nature will naturally increase.
In fact, even if a muscular man is asked to carry twenty kilograms of stuff and march at five kilometers per hour and fifty kilometers a day, he will still be overworked and suffer from soreness in his body's muscles and bones.
In a war environment, this kind of pain is unavoidable. If the army wants to win the war and advance quickly, it can only grit its teeth and persevere.
Yang Mingzhi is very confident in his own soldiers. If he is really worried, it is because he is worried about Joshua's group of female soldiers. War will not take care of female soldiers' inherently inferior physical fitness. Like male soldiers, they have to bear the same weight.
I'm afraid it must be more than 20 kilograms.
Yang Mingzhi, accompanied by Liguschkov personally, entered the largest weapons warehouse in Blacksmith Village.
Five German field guns captured in the last battle are now parked in this large wooden building, each covered with a cover sewn from various rags.
Yang Mingzhi's focus is naturally not here. This kind of heavy weapon can only be used in wilderness position battles.
His eyes focused on the stacked recoilless rifles and a number of launchers.
The small-caliber one is the launcher of the RPG with a 70mm warhead. The large-caliber one has an inner diameter slightly higher than 107mm. This is the launch tube of the newly developed rocket launcher.
When Yang Mingzhi stood in front of these neatly stacked huge tubes, Liguschkov introduced: "Sir, please look, this is the product that we have recently rolled off the production line. We have produced a total of fifteen large-caliber rocket launchers.
A total of twenty caliber rockets were produced. Others..."
"Why are there so few?!" Yang Mingzhi interrupted him decisively: "During the three days of the meeting, the arsenal, fertilizer plant, and chemical laboratory were all working hard to produce raw materials. Why is the output so high? Try harder and launch
The tools are all loaded with ammunition."
Naturally, Liguschkov also had his own difficulties. He had already expected that the superior would ask this question, so he could only answer with his head raised: "Yes! We are indeed facing a very embarrassing situation now!"
Under his guidance, Yang Mingzhi came to one of several independent rooms in the warehouse. The wooden door was unlocked and the wooden window was opened. What appeared in front of Yang Mingzhi and his entourage was a pile of standing rockets.
Their structure is slightly special, that is, the warhead is larger than the tail because the tail is also equipped with a folding tail. When in use, they can be stuffed into the launcher like a cylinder.
Just because the operation was about to begin, this batch of ammunition also hit the collision fuse.
"Sir, please look, these are the large-caliber rockets we produce. The warheads are painted with yellow paint and are filled with picric acid. The warheads are coated with nothing and are filled with ammonium nitrate mixed with TNT."
"What about the ones filled with ethylene oxide and hydrazine nitrate?" Yang Mingzhi asked decisively.
Liguschkov pointed in the direction: "Sir! They are still in that cellar! Sir! I don't dare to put those ammunition here! Some of the medicines have finally been turned into finished rockets, and they have been returned to the cellar warehouse.
!”
Yang Mingzhi pinched his stubble-covered chin. This man's approach was practical. Simply counting the ammunition, it was indeed a full twenty. Considering that there was also a batch of cloud burst rockets in the warehouse, the total output was naturally considerable.
.
At this point, Liguschkov finally explained the reason for his low output.
He pointed to one painted with yellow paint and explained helplessly: "These rockets, they are all monsters that eat explosives! According to the design plan, for example, this picric acid rocket has ten kilograms loaded in the warhead.
! There are ten like this, and we have consumed one hundred kilograms of picric acid!"
He pointed out endlessly the amount of explosives used in these ammunition. The final result was that although these ammunitions were beyond the power of ordinary heavy artillery, the loss of chemicals also basically consumed a large amount of explosive reserves.
"The large amounts of TNT airdropped by superiors, according to the regulations you issued, are mainly used in recoilless rifles and rocket-propelled grenade warheads, so that their power has basically reached the level of 70mm field guns. Picric acid has naturally been eliminated, and they are mainly used in
For this type of rocket launcher, and some rocket-propelled grenade warheads.
Nowadays, because the chemical laboratory devotes a lot of manpower and material resources to the production of high-energy fuels, the production of picric acid has also been reduced a lot.
These picric acid rockets have thicker walls because they will be used soon, so the inner wall of each shot is only coated with a thin layer of wax to resist corrosion. I think this is unnecessary! For absolute safety, I still
That’s done!”
"Well done to you! I completely understand what you mean!" Yang Mingzhi patted Liguschkov on the shoulder, even though the man had not finished speaking.
At this moment, Yang Mingzhi really couldn't control his emotions. He raised his forehead and stared at the ceiling and couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough! This is a rocket launcher! You don't know if you don't produce it yourself. Explosives and propellants can only have great power if they are piled together in large quantities! If the raw materials are provided,
If not, I won’t be able to produce many of them!”
Even though these rocket launchers have a caliber of 107 mm, they are not the famous "farming tools" after all. They still use a firing pin that strikes the primer to ignite the entire propellant, which is the same principle as the RPG's trigger system.
Its length has been shortened to 90 centimeters. Due to the special propellant, the theoretical maximum range of this thing is indeed eight kilometers. In fact, Yang Mingzhi estimated that it is at least five kilometers.
Since coming off the production line, this weapon has only undergone one special experiment. That is, it fired a rocket without explosives, and it flew very smoothly dragging a line of blue-white smoke. Because a meeting was in progress at the time, this experiment did not cause much trouble.
Because the people are all interested in upgrading the army to a group army and establishing a guerrilla republic!
