Chapter 944: The Last Two Pieces of the Puzzle

As long as Liu Lang applies the conical gunpowder patent purchased by Fan Dashao to the warhead of the rocket, and turns 51 caliber into 60 caliber to increase the amount of gunpowder of the rocket like the Americans in time and space, this seemingly chicken ribbed rocket launcher will immediately become a nightmare for the main battle tanks of most countries in World War II.

The famous Monroe effect produced by the explosion of cone-shaped gunpowder can easily tear through the armor of a 60 mm tank.

However, even if Liu Lang knew, he would not immediately make the rocket of the bazooka into a high-energy explosive warhead, because the Chinese battlefield is not a European battlefield, and it is rare to say that there is no 60 mm tank armor on the Chinese battlefield, even if it is 30 mm.

The armor of the Type 94 ultralight tank and the Type 89 medium tank, which will be rampant in China in the future, is an armored monster for the national army and the red troops who lack anti-tank weapons, but in the eyes of the European powers, it is just an armored vehicle equipped with machine guns. Not to mention that the Type 94 tank, nicknamed "Little Beanding" by the people of the future republic, has only 6 mm of armor and only 6 mm of armor, which can be shot out of it even by machine guns, and the armor thickness of the so-called medium tank is only 6 to 17 mm.

The old men in the Japanese base camp who were "sucking juice with their eyes" had already been stingy at home, and they were reluctant to put steel plates on their army's main battle tanks.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the weakness of the Chinese side at that time, if their tanks were blown up one by one instead of running rampant on Chinese soil, you see, it would be strange that they did not learn from the European powers to increase the tank armor to more than 50 mm.

Don't look at the power of the bazooka designed by Qian Wei, the power is not very large, and Captain Skinnay, a designer hired from the United States with a high salary, also left in a bad mood, but at a range of 200 meters, it is still no problem to blow up a small bean ding. Even a Type 89 medium tank can easily blow it up to a range of 150 meters and hit its fragile flank and tail armor.

In other words, this bazooka may be a scum in the upcoming European theater, but for the Chinese theater, it is enough. When Fan Dashao takes the cone-shaped gunpowder patent he purchased back to China in the future, not to mention that the little devil's little beans are scum, even those bunkers built by the little devils can't become turtle shells to protect them.

However, this time Liu Lang was not in a hurry to finalize the bazooka, and the requirement for Qian Wei was to change the 51 caliber that the American captain liked into 60 caliber, increase the weight of the rocket warhead and strive to make the range longer.

Even just adding 10 meters can effectively reduce the casualties of soldiers. Several infantry majors were right, the effective range of 150 meters was too close.

At the same time, Liu Lang also proposed a variety of warhead concepts. If the bazooka is only used as a single weapon to break the fortification, it is too wasteful for the independent regiment. Just like the 40 guns that were equipped with a large number of red troops in the past time and space, they can be used not only as anti-tank weapons, but also as close-range support artillery.

In other words, when there is no artillery support on the front line, the individual bazooka can be used as a direct-aim artillery. For this reason, Liu Lang pulled Qian Wei and Xiong Zhen, who was in charge of the research and development of guns and bullets, to the regiment headquarters for academic "enlightenment" for a whole day. To put it bluntly, it is to cramming these two with future ideas, anyway, Liu Lang is only responsible for copycat creativity, and whether they can make it depends on whether these people are geniuses enough.

This day is undoubtedly an eye-opening day for the two scientific and technological elites, and it is also a day for Liu Tuanzuo, a war science and technology madman, to reacquaint themselves.

Liu Tuanzuo's suggestions for the design of weapons are definitely beyond the concept of this era, not to mention, but also unusually "obscene".

Not to mention the anti-infantry mines that were designed by him in the past, which mainly hit "Dandan", and what he said at this time, such as what kind of steel ball anti-personnel rockets, made people can't help but break out in a cold sweat when they hear it.

According to Liu Tuanzuo, the bomb does not explode after hitting the ground, but jumps to a height of 1~1.5 meters through the anti-throwing device and then detonates the fuse, and then the bomb explodes in the air, killing and injuring the living target with hundreds of steel balls contained in the warhead.

Thinking of this kind of situation where the bomb that landed and did not explode but had to bounce into the air and then burst out hundreds of steel balls and fall into the crowd, although I hated the Japanese devils very much, the two proud men of the sky were all chilled by the vests of those unlucky guys. They knew too well that although this kind of rocket, which was reduced by the large amount of steel ball explosives, might not be very strong in the shock wave, it would undoubtedly be much more lethal than that. It can even be said that there are fewer "kills" and more injuries, as long as they are swept by a steel ball, it will be a tragic ending.

Of course, Liu Tuanzuo is not a compassionate person who doesn't want to kill devils, and the purpose of his suggestion to design this kind of projectile body is to make the devil's death more painful. The steel balls stuffed into the body of the projectile will not be sterilized, and will even be soaked in fecal water, in this era of anti-inflammatory drugs are scarce, the wounded who are infected by a large number of bacteria will only die in despair in pain. In other words, you will die in the end, but it will also make you waste manpower and material resources, so that you can't die well.

However, this kind of projectile body that shoots steel balls is nothing compared with the incendiary bomb that Liu Tuanzuo said, which is not only loaded with explosives, steel balls, and white phosphorus incendiary with a burning point of no more than 40 degrees, but also mixed with adhesive in it. Once the white phosphorus is burned, in addition to making it quickly hypoxic and cooling, it will no longer burn, even if it is splashed with water, it will not be extinguished, if it is matched with an adhesive that is not easy to shake offใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚

Although the live-fire test has not yet been carried out, the two heavenly pride have already seen a terrifying picture of blue-green flames sticking to the Japanese invaders like maggots on tarsal bones, burning wildly until they burn their flesh, burn through their bones, and even ignite the terrible picture of "human oil".

Because, from the existing technology, these two types of projectiles are not difficult to implement.

Actually, the hard thing is just the creativity, the creativity of killing.

And at this point, Liu Lang, who has more experience than them in the next few decades and has used countless kinds of killing weapons in various countries around the world, dares to say that he is second in this era, and no one dares to call him first.

If nothing else, the individual rocket launcher and several kinds of rockets that were fought on different battlefields, which Liu Lang personally named "Patriotic Nation," will be basically finalized by June, and all the mounted units should be before the end of this year, and all the mounted units will have nearly eight months of training time.

Liu Lang has decided to set up a bazooka group in each infantry squad, and two of the two machine gun shooters and two auxiliary shooters originally configured will be turned into a bazooka group, with the main shooter carrying a bazooka and the secondary shooter carrying three 3.5-kilogram rockets according to the needs of the battle. That is, each infantry squad can have the opportunity to fire three rockets while fighting on the front line until the next replenishment of ammunition.

After all, Liu Lang still chose to integrate the bazooka into the squad unit and the squad light machine gun as the core firepower like the red army in later generations, even if the Japanese invaders that the independent regiment had to face were not a mechanical corps, it was still an infantry-based infantry corps, and the bazooka that focused on armored targets was actually not an artifact in the face of the infantry, and it was not as effective as a machine gun in suppressing the infantry charge.

However, an infantry squad with three rockets had at least three chances to attack and destroy the fixed fire points of the Japanese army, instead of rushing forward with flesh and blood carrying explosives bags as in the past time and space. Using the flesh and blood of his comrades to attract enemy fire, the Demoman stealthily crawling forward to blow up enemy bunkers, and sacrificing the lives of several or even a dozen or more comrades every time he succeeds, these have been the hidden pain of the old man for decades, and every time he mentions it, he will have tears in his eyes, even when his eye sockets have dried up. After experiencing the Battle of the Great Wall, Liu Lang, who witnessed the soldiers of the 288th and 289th regiments strapped with grenades all over his body and drilling Japanese tanks, did not want this kind of thing to happen to him again.

Speaking of the other most important suppressive fire class light machine gun in the class, the independent regiment has been counting the Czech ZB-26 in the past two years of training, which has always been a problem for Liu Lang, he has the intention to let Professor Ye take command of the development of the five or six family of five or six light machine guns, but the research and development of the biggest killer Storm rocket launcher of the independent regiment involves too much energy of the entire scientific research team.

Rocket artillery is a system engineering, Su Xiaomei's project team is only responsible for a large part of the research and development, such as rocket propulsion and shooting accuracy, etc., but the fuse of the warhead and all kinds of warhead explosives are all in charge of Xiong Zhen, Professor Ye led the remaining students to develop five or six semi-automatic rifles and Black Star pistols, although this basic imitation of firearms has been installed in the troops, but in training, because the hardness and toughness of the steel are not up to the requirements of this firearm that should have appeared ten years later, there have been many failures.

On this point, Liu Lang has no way to criticize him, because the independent regiment is urgent, and all guns are only two years from design to finalization, and there is no time to even have time to test live ammunition in various complex environments. Fortunately, the production capacity of the Qinglong Machinery Plant was greatly increased after the import of precision machine tools from the Third Reich, and in three months, there were no problems in producing 4,000 semi-automatic rifles.

So Liu Lang simply let the two regiments of the independent regiment and the security regiment test the guns in the live-fire training, and if the problems were found, they were handed over to Professor Ye's scientific research team to deal with, and by the second half of 36 years, the problems that have been used for more than a year are estimated to have almost all been found, and the scientific research team will re-improve the design, and the better quality steel imported by Huamei Arsenal from the United States can also be in place, and at that time, all the equipment will be re-equipped.

All firearms with defective designs are to be mothballed 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-fire training to replace the more time-consuming tests before the gun was finalized, saving time and spending a little more money. Liu Tuanzuo, who is crazy about using pirated sulfonamides from future time and space to absorb wealth from European and American countries, is now rich.

But obviously, it is too late for the scientific research team to develop five or six light machine guns, not to mention that there is still a year and a half before the all-out war, but when they develop, test, produce and reassemble, the time is no longer enough. Even if there was enough time, Liu Lang, who had not experienced a large number of live ammunition fire, would not dare to hand it over to his soldiers so rashly, in case of a malfunction on the battlefield, it would be the soldier's life lost.

His soldiers can die on the way to the charge, or they can die in the trenches of the last battle, but they cannot die from the enemy's bullets because of the failure of their weapons.

In addition to light machine guns, there are also submachine guns, which are also important weapons to contain Japanese invaders. In the past, the Chinese army and the red army have proved with facts that in a close-range firefight, the coaxing 38 Dagai is a scumbag when it encounters a submachine gun, and it is often beaten to tears.

Therefore, Liu Lang must complete the last two pieces of the firepower puzzle of the infantry of the Independent Regiment as soon as possible.
