Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters hoarding shells
Basically, the rocket launcher must be launched at an elevation angle of 45 degrees to reach the designed maximum range of eight kilometers. This value is only an approximate value. Small differences in propellant ratio, wind speed and humidity will greatly affect the results.
Just like the Katyusha rocket launcher that has been used on a large scale by the Soviet army, its accuracy is very poor and can only be made up for by quantity.
In Yang Mingzhi's plan, the biggest significance of the rocket launchers produced by Novgomel is to launch into the city. For example, if the troops penetrate into a forest outside Kiev, set up a position, fire one and then withdraw. In short, as long as the rocket launcher
The political significance of an explosion in a city is far greater than the military significance.
It is a pity that the target of the troops' attack is not Kiev yet. Yang Mingzhi is also like "shooting mosquitoes with anti-aircraft guns" and wants to use this weapon to fire directly at the moving train.
He stood next to one and tried to pick it up.
"It's very good. It weighs about 15 kilograms in hand, and a soldier can carry it completely."
Liguschkov quickly returned: "Yes! The arsenal is strictly in accordance with the design drawings for final assembly. The final product is filled with picric acid, and its total weight is approximately fifteen kilograms."
Yang Mingzhi nodded: "Soldiers can bear this weight. Let's look at other weapons."
…
It would be great if arsenals and weapons design bureaus could produce disposable rocket launchers! For example, the Soviet Union in that time and space, its RPG26, which imitated American products, was very good! It did not occupy the establishment at all, because the launch tube used light resin
The material is made of materials and the overall weight is only one kilogram. A soldier can carry several of them!
Due to the times, this idea can only be an idea for the time being, unless the war is over!
Yang Mingzhi was already very satisfied with the status quo. He asked Liguschkov a key question: "Are all the rocket-propelled grenades issued to the troops ready?"
"Of course! It's all set! They're stored in another room."
RPG launchers and warheads are the flagship products of the arsenal. The left fist is an RPG and the right fist is a recoilless rifle!
RPG has unimaginable high maneuverability. Now, according to the different types of warheads, it is divided into three types: armor-piercing type, high-explosive type and fragmentation type.
The recoilless rifle has much poorer maneuverability, but its advantage is that it can be used as a long-distance support weapon for grassroots companies, and its warhead types are the same as those of RPG.
Due to the convenience of mass casting, their warhead specifications are very similar and they are cast in the same batch.
For Liguschkov, the order issued by the army commander this time demonstrated a grand gesture. He only knew that the 284th Division relied on more than 500 RPG warheads to defeat a main German tank regiment on the outskirts of Minsk last year.
.
The army commander at that time was still a battalion commander, and there were almost 600 people in his battalion, each of whom had almost one warhead.
Take a look at the commander's order. Although it is impossible for everyone in the troops participating in the operation to carry a warhead, the average number is one for three people.
A battalion carries two hundred rocket-propelled grenades, each of which weighs less than two kilograms. To be honest, in terms of the overall weight of a soldier, two kilograms is not much. But once a war breaks out, this kind of weapon is widely used, and the charging enemy
You will encounter a bloody blow equivalent to dozens of 70mm field guns.
As the planner and leader of the operation, Yang Mingzhi knew that he had the obligation to personally inspect these weapons to ensure that the troops could be equipped smoothly! There is no room for sloppiness in war, and when the leader saw these neatly stacked warheads with exactly the same specifications, he also
Who would doubt the combat effectiveness of the troops?
Yang Mingzhi pointed at the warheads placed in the matrix and said with emotion: "My factory director! You have contributed a lot to this victory. According to the plan, you must provide 800 warheads, but I counted them.
At least two thousand! It’s unbelievable.”
"Of course, the total amount stored in this small warehouse is 2,300 pieces. There are three other warehouses like this, and the total amount has exceeded 9,000 pieces!"
He never mentioned this matter at the meeting, and Yang Mingzhi rarely had time to make detailed statistics on the overall inventory of the arsenal in the past month.
This time, Yang Mingzhi was really frightened!
He had to ask with suspicion: "Is this true? We have so many warheads?"
"Is there still a lie?" Liguschkov promised, patting his chest: "I guarantee with my life that the total number of our 70mm warheads has exceeded 20,000 rounds! Does the commander think that the large-scale production movement he called for is not enough?
Is it just that there has been a rapid improvement in agriculture? No! The same is true in the military!
It has been almost three months since February. Where has the arsenal stopped? Everyone works 24 hours a day, and our workers work in two shifts.
Besides, except for the expansion of military operations that Balzen was responsible for, he did not use many artillery shells after all! It can be said that in nearly three months, we produced 20,000 rounds. With such efficiency, the commander was probably not shocked, but condemned the production for being too small.
Bar!
Therefore, I am afraid that if I bring this up at the meeting, it will cause chaos in the public opinion!"
Yang Mingzhi had to carefully examine this middle-aged man with a beard, "I really can't tell that you Liguschkov is very scheming."
"Of course! If I were a mediocre person, I would not have been the village chief for so long! Even if I am not the village chief now, my prestige still exists." At this point, Liguschkov had to name Kavitz.
base.
"That comrade was very active at the meeting. I think he wanted to show his presence. After all, he was too young and had a will to win the war. I think he can do a very good job in his current job. He
You really need results to benefit yourself after the war."
Yang Mingzhi waved his hand: "I am not responsible for this matter. This is Salinchkin's business! You just mentioned Balzen. Indeed, I never expected that the action at the end of March would turn into an attack of more than a thousand people.
Fight! If I had met these earlier, I would have equipped them with more heavy weapons! What a pity! That guy is a madman!"
Yang Mingzhi looked down at these warheads and sighed: "So I can't repeat the same mistakes this time, if it turns into a melee with tens of thousands of people again! This time I have a large number of rocket-propelled grenades, and a large number of large-caliber rockets.
I have to let the Germans understand what the earth is burning!"
If Balzen had been equipped with a large number of RPG warheads and used them in subsequent offensive operations, the casualties would have been greatly reduced. The most critical thing was the later retreat. Because of the lack of heavy weapons, the troops had to use light weapons to fight the enemy in a series of operations.
Shooting against each other. In Yang Mingzhi’s opinion, his people are the best among the Soviet army.
And the Germans are not idiots. If there are idiots, they are the idiots of the German commanders. The grassroots soldiers are not beginners with terrible marksmanship. This kind of simple shooting, the Soviet elite cannot take much advantage. In the end, it is only the irreparable loss of personnel.
of losses.
Therefore, the equipment of the Soviet army had to be heavy for this operation.
Ordinary riflemen equipped with Mosin Nagants need to be equipped with three base numbers of bullets, which is 180 rounds. Those equipped with SVT40 need to be equipped with five base numbers, that is, 300 rounds.
The submachine gunner has six base numbers, which is 420 rounds.
The machine gunners who provide the guarantee of firepower have even more crazy equipment. Nowadays, many MG34s have been modified, and the experimental rate of fire has been reduced to 900 rounds per minute. The actual rate of fire has also plummeted. The kind that fires more than a dozen shots with one pull of the trigger.
The situation no longer exists. Therefore, in addition to the paratrooper battalion, Balzen's reconnaissance battalion and Joshua's female battalion are naturally equipped with such machine guns.
A magazine contains 500 rounds of ammunition, and a machine gun squad equipped with MG34 must carry ten such boxes.
Except for the MG34, the only remaining Soviet light machine guns were the traditional Deggarev, and the captured MG13 and ZB26.
Yang Mingzhi naturally likes the ZB26. It is a star on the Chinese battlefield, but it is not good at sustaining firepower. It can even be said that it is more like an automatic rifle.
