Chapter 145 Weapon research and development of the column arsenal
(PS: Thanks to the book friend ‘Xiaoyi 002’ for giving another reward, and continue to ask for votes and support!!!)
Looking at the familiar rocket launch scene, Deng Chenggong felt that although he had no golden fingers to travel here, he could still have a better development advantage than others in this era. He knew that there are a lot of research on rocket launchers in the world at present, but there is not really used it in actual combat.
If his memory had not deviated, a landmark rocket launcher in the Soviet Union today should have been about to be released. However, with the emergence of his own rocket launcher in the future, the first country to use the rocket launcher in the history of the development of rocket launchers will inevitably be China, and the militia armed forces of the North China Militia Column will inevitably be engraved in the history of the War of Resistance against Japan because of its appearance.
Compared to Deng Chenggong, he was already accustomed to this kind of rocket launcher. Situ Liang and the escort officer who saw the power of this rocket launcher for the first time were undoubtedly shocked. The launch time and dense artillery fire of the rocket launcher were covered on the battlefield. The first round of strikes would inevitably catch the Japanese off guard, and they would not even have time to dodge. This strange thing looks inconspicuous, but its power is amazing!
After seeing the power of this rocket launcher, the happiest person was undoubtedly Situ Liang, the artillery division commander. Put down the telescope and waited for Deng to greet him, he rushed to the rocket launcher and muttered: "Good thing, good thing!"
Seeing Situ Liang, a major general, become like a child, touching the rocket launcher car, Deng Chenggong turned around and said to Yu Wenbin, who was also happy, "Is this rocket launcher you designed different from the parameters I provide?"
When Yu Wenbin heard this, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said: "Commander, based on the drawings you provided, we have implemented them several times. I found that the maximum range of this rocket launcher is not as high as that of your drawings. We have tried the maximum range and can hit about 7,500 meters, but the shooting accuracy is very poor.
Only the best effect is in the range of firing range of 5 to 6,000 meters, and the landing point error can be controlled at about 30 meters. We think that in order to increase the range of rocket launchers, we may also need to improve the fuel supply of some rocket launchers. Otherwise, in a short time, this rocket launcher can only be finalized with this parameter."
Compared to Yu Wenbin, Deng Chenggong nodded with a smile and said, "I am already satisfied that you can increase the range of the rocket to more than 6,000 meters. This distance has basically reached the range of a 150-caliber howitzer, so you don't have to be too discouraged, not to mention that the parameters provided are just a rough number. You don't have to blame yourself too much. In addition, what is the effect of the 40 rocket launcher I gave you last time?"
Without criticism and encouragement, Yu Wenbin's concerns were completely relieved. When he heard Deng Chenggong ask about the finalization of another weapon, Yu Wenbin hurriedly asked someone to bring two rocket launchers that had also been tested and said: "According to the drawings provided by the commander, the parameters of this rocket launcher can basically meet the requirements on your drawings. We have implemented them several times and should be able to finalize them."
He took the 40 bazooka in his hand and looked at it. He felt that it was no different from what he had used in the army before. Deng Chenggong directly asked the weapons researcher to conduct a shelling experiment. The targets of the experiment were respectively solid bunkers built with cement, as well as two scrapped Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.
While the researcher was conducting the experiment, Deng Chenggong said to Wu Zhongyuan beside him: "Central Yuan, wait and see how this rocket launcher is operated. After you go back, this thing will be equipped for your Flying Eagle Team as soon as possible. With this thing, you will undoubtedly add another assault weapon to conduct special operations in the future."
When Wu Zhongyuan heard that this weapon was the first to be distributed to his Flying Eagle Team, he undoubtedly became interested and followed the researcher to another shooting range built.
After watching the researcher load a long rocket into the rocket launcher, Wu Zhongyuan carefully observed the other party's every move. When the researcher pulled the trigger and fired the rocket launcher, the flames fired from the back of the bobbin still scared him. However, he quickly understood why the weapon researcher's body was not straight lines but in an incline when launching the rocket. It was because he was afraid that the flames ejected when the rocket was fired!
After the rocket was launched, Wu Zhongyuan soon discovered that the solid bunker hit by the rocket had drilled a big hole directly, and the rocket quickly exploded in the bunker. This penetration force made Wu Zhongyuan quickly realize that the rocket launcher had the best effect that even a mortar could not achieve when attacking a single solid fortification. Moreover, this thing was very light and would not increase the burden on soldiers when operating.
After seeing the effect of rocket attacking solid bunkers, the weapon researcher turned around and loaded a rocket. The target of this attack was scrapped tanks and armored vehicles parked in the shooting range. The rocket after launch directly penetrated the Japanese tanks on the shooting range, and the rocket was immediately detonated inside the tank.
This super strong armor-piercing effect made Wu Zhongyuan realize that when they go out to operate, they will encounter Japanese chariots chasing or encircling, and rely on this rocket launcher to break through the siege. Instead, when they encounter Japanese chariots chasing and blocking, they can only rely on explosive packs to clear them.
When the researcher completed the three experiments, Wu Zhongyuan quickly walked up to Deng Chenggong and asked to feel the power of the rocket launcher himself. Deng Chenggong naturally would not refuse this. After instructing Yu Wenbin to prepare three rockets for Wu Zhongyuan, Wu Zhongyuan, with the cooperation of the researcher who used the rocket launcher, he personally experienced the attack power of the rocket one by one, which was a first-hand experience.
After feeling it, Wu Zhongyuan seemed a little excited and said, "Commander, this rocket launcher is really good. With this thing, our special operations brigade will not need to bypass the Japanese chariot brigade in the future."
Deng Chenggong, who had known the performance of these two weapons for a long time, saw that the two generals were very satisfied with these new equipment and said with a smile: "Just be satisfied. After these two weapons are finalized, I will equip you with it as soon as possible. However, the old saying is that weapons that belong to our militia column must be strictly confidential. Remember not to lose or lose the physical objects, and a dedicated person will take care of them."
Wu Zhongyuan and Situ Liang are very clear about the confidentiality system in this regard. After seeing the research and development process of these two weapons, Deng Chenggong felt that the strength of the Weapons Research Institute is quite good. With these two powerful weapons to kill the enemy, the militia column will also have a more attacking killer weapon when facing the Japanese in the future.
After seeing the actual effects of the two weapons, Deng Chenggong praised the designers and workers of the Weapons Research Institute, and of course there was also a lot of money rewards. The designers and workers present seemed very happy for Deng Chenggong's encouragement and rewards.
After the final experiments of these two weapons were completed, Deng successfully asked Yu Wenbin about the production capacity of the two weapons. Yu Wenbin's answer was still very good. With the current production capacity of the arsenal, the rocket launcher can assemble and produce about ten units per month, and the rocket launcher can produce at least 100 units per month. This means that it will take not long for the two weapons to be installed in the army, and the artillery division and the Flying Eagle Special Warfare Brigade can have an extra killer weapon.
The only regret is that the rocket production capacity of the two weapons cannot meet the needs of large-scale combat. To truly achieve normalized reserves of the two weapons, a certain amount of ammunition reserve is required to avoid insufficient ammunition supply during combat.
Following Yu Wenbin to the Weapons Research Institute in the arsenal, Deng Chenggong drew a large-caliber rocket launcher for him on the spot, so that these researchers could do their best to improve the power of rocket launchers based on existing research if they had time.
In addition, Deng Chenggong also proposed that he hopes that the Weapons Research Institute can start research on existing anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, and hopes that the arsenal can achieve weapon autonomy as soon as possible.
What shocked Yu Wenbin and others the most was that Deng Chenggong wrote the components parameters of two new shells, so that they could take out samples as soon as possible. One was a new shell called armored incendiary bomb by Deng Chenggong. If it could be produced and used in combination with rocket launchers, the effect would be far beyond the power of existing rockets.
Even this kind of incendiary bomb is not only limited to rocket launchers, but other howitzers and aircraft can use this kind of incendiary bomb. Although its explosive power is not as great as the existing explosion, its killing effect will far exceed the power of existing bombs.
This kind of aluminum-thermal incendiary bomb, which is very common in later generations, is not common in this era. Deng Chenggong proposed this kind of bomb. He undoubtedly hopes that in the future, when fighting against Japanese armored clusters, the power of this bomb will be far greater than that of existing bombs. He could imagine that once this shell is installed in the army, the Japanese howl when they encounter it.
You know, it is not easy to extinguish this ghost thing. Even now that the Japanese tank armored vehicles are burned by this, they will be burned through by the super high combustion effect of the incendiary bomb.
You can imagine what serious consequences this thing will be if it is affected by it. The most important thing is that the technical content of this incendiary bomb is not high and can be produced under the existing conditions of the arsenal. It can actually kill and injure the Japanese. Why didn't Deng Chenggong take it out and use it for viewing?
There is another type of mass destructive shell that was banned by various countries in later generations, and its name is simply napalm bomb. The power of this gasoline bomb is far superior to the first aluminum thermal incendiary bomb on a certain level.
Although they are all incendiary bombs, the harm of the latter is far beyond the former. If Deng Chenggong may not be able to take it out in peacetime, there is no need to talk about benevolence and righteousness against the Japanese. The greater the power, the better. Only in this way can the Japanese retreat when they encounter militia columns in the future.
