The father of the sword is Kong Jie

……

Just two months ago.

When Kong Jie and John met, they talked about the follow-up arms cooperation between the two parties. There was such a conversation.

John said: “Once a war breaks out, the military will give priority to heavy tanks and large-caliber artillery.

Heavy tanks also have large-caliber artillery. The production process requirements are too high, and the input cost is also very high. In addition, it needs the support of a large number of orders from the military.

This kind of business is not something I can afford personally, and even the parent company behind me may not be able to afford it. "

Kong Jie said: "The cake of heavy tanks and large-caliber artillery has been almost divided.

Instead of fighting with others, there may not be a chance of winning.

It is better to find another way and focus on small-caliber follow-up artillery, individual anti-tank weapons, and submachine guns, which are close-range superior automatic firepower. "

"You mean the Hua brand submachine gun?" John asked.

Kong Jie smiled and nodded.

And the Hua brand submachine gun in John's mouth.

In fact, it is an American-style M3 submachine gun. At that time, Kong Jie gave the blueprint of the M3 submachine gun to John in three parts, which whetted John's appetite. Arrived a lot of arms and equipment.

But Kong Jie can't tell John that this is called an M3 submachine gun. Before that, your US military will have other types of submachine guns.

Such as Thompson submachine gun, M1 submachine gun, M1A1 submachine gun, until the last M3 submachine gun.

This is the transformation and development of generations, right?
So Kong Jie directly changed the name of the American-style M3 submachine gun to the Hua brand submachine gun.

"The performance of the Hua brand submachine gun is indeed superior, and it is much stronger than the Thompson submachine gun currently used by the military in all aspects.

In this regard, I am confident that once the guns are produced and put into use on the battlefield, they will get better feedback.

You can definitely get a lot of orders from the military. "

But John then sighed: "It's just that the military's standard weapons are always rifles, and the orders for Chinese-brand submachine guns will definitely not be small, but they won't be too many.

Can't each of the soldiers go to the battlefield with a submachine gun? "

Kong Jie said with a smile: "John, why worry, the magic weapon for us to win this time is not one."

"As I said, our focus this time can be on some small-caliber follow-up artillery, as well as individual anti-tank weapons."

"In addition to Chinese brand submachine guns, in the future, once your country enters the war and a war breaks out with other countries, anti-tank operations will definitely be indispensable on the battlefield."

"If there is an anti-tank weapon that can be operated by a single soldier and is portable, and can even reach the power of a conventional anti-tank gun, causing fatal danger to enemy tanks, will such individual anti-tank equipment be supported by the military? What about Fang's favor?"

John froze for a moment, but he didn't rush to speak.

If the words came from other people, he would naturally scoff.

Is it true that the development of the military industry depends on lip service?

But when these words came out of Kong Jie's mouth, what John needed to consider was not suspicion, but what kind of sensational results would be caused once this new type of weapon was actually produced, as Kong Jie said.

After all, according to history, the U.S. military's individual rocket launcher, that is, the Bazuka, was put into production until May 42.

It's not even four or two years yet!
This leaves a lot of time for Kong Jie to operate.

"That's unbelievable, Xu, is there really such individual anti-tank equipment?" John was moved.

Kong Jie said with a smile: "There is nothing impossible, only unexpected. Hundreds of years ago, who would have imagined that terrifying war weapons such as airplanes, tanks, and cannons would appear on the battlefield?"

"That's true!" John said, his expression full of expectation: "Xu, you must have mastered the design blueprint of this kind of individual anti-tank combat equipment?"

After all, the one standing in front of John.

Not only did they take out the design drawings of the Hua brand submachine gun, but they even took out the design drawings of the Type Zero aircraft that the Japanese army will definitely keep as the top military secret.

Kong Jie smiled noncommittally, "This kind of anti-tank weapon that can be operated by an individual soldier is actually not complicated in principle and structure. On the contrary, it can even be said to be very simple."

He casually picked up the white paper on the side, picked up a pencil and drew a sketch: "This is the launcher, this is the rocket, the rocket has a special structure, designed to have the effect of breaking the armor when it hits the tank... The rear is the excitation device, and the principle is very simple. When launching, the rocket is pushed out by the thrust of the solid rocket's rear spray... and finally achieves the purpose of destroying armor and anti-tank operations."

Soon, Kong Jie drew a sketch of the general appearance of the individual bazooka.

Listening to Kong Jie's narration, John's eyes gradually brightened.

The so-called layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Although John is not an expert in military production, as an arms dealer, he still knows a thing or two about some concepts in military production.

After Kong Jie described the structure and working principle of the anti-tank equipment of this individual rocket launcher, John realized that it is absolutely feasible to use this individual rocket launcher with simple structure and convenient operation for anti-tank operations.

"Xu, what is the name of this weapon?" John asked with burning eyes. He seemed to be about to witness the birth of a new type of individual anti-tank equipment.

After a short silence, Kong Jie asked with a smile, "The name hasn't been named yet, John, what do you think the overall shape and structure of this weapon looks like?"

"like what?"

John was stunned, looked at the sketch drawn by Kong Jie, and after a while, suddenly realized: "It looks like a large tubular bazooka instrument."

"Xu, why don't we just call him Bazooka."

Bazooka again...

Kong Jie shook his head dissatisfied, "John, you know, we Chinese are not very familiar with your Western musical instruments."

The implication is that this individual bazooka is now designed by the Chinese, so it has to be called a Chinese name.

"What's that going to be called?"

"Blowing torch!" Kong Jie said.

"What?"

"Blowing torch, a bamboo tube used to blow stoves in our rural areas in China, John, don't you think it's very similar to our individual bazooka?"

John is a pragmatic guy, so he doesn't bother to care about what this individual bazooka looks like.

He only cares about whether he can get a large number of military orders from the military and earn the money he wants after the weapon is produced.

Regarding Kong Jie's insistence, John agreed with him: "This name is too vivid. Yes, it is called a blower. When this weapon is produced, I will definitely continue to use this name. I can use I swear by my character.

Xu, I would like to call you the father of the torch! "

The father of the blowtorch...

Kong Jie: "..."

It always sounded a little weird.

In order to encourage John, after the two parties made up their minds to produce and develop this kind of anti-tank rocket launcher for individual combat - the blower, Kong Jie said:
"John, just look at it. After our anti-tank rocket launcher is officially born, perhaps the best way to fight anti-tank is to use the argument of tank attack, and it will even be shaken."

"Of course, Xu, I look forward to the birth of our masterpiece!"

……

……

Zhongtiao Mountain area.

The confrontation between the Japanese army and the Independent Fourth Regiment of the Eighth Route Army continued in the form of partial combat.

At this time, the Uchida Battalion of the Kwantung Army, the most vanguard of the Japanese army, had been wiped out by the Fourth Regiment in one fell swoop.

After Wang Huaibao ordered the division of troops to break out of the siege, the combat troops of the four regiments and companies, with the help of sophisticated American equipment and powerful firepower, easily broke through the encirclement of the Japanese army from multiple directions, completely breaking the devil's advance and sweeping net.

The Japanese army immediately adjusted its combat deployment, re-shrunk its troops, and joined forces with the troops in the direction of the county to attack in two lines.

At the same time, an armored force composed of more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles was dispatched to assist in the battle.

The contest between the two sides gradually escalated.

... "Captain, the little devil really dispatched tanks and armored vehicles."

The first battalion commander who rushed to the front temporary regiment headquarters reported to the regiment commander Wang Huaibaohui with some helplessness.

Wang Huaibao nodded, but there was no surprise in his expression.

"Our American equipment frightened the little devils, and it is reasonable for the devils to dispatch tanks and armored vehicles."

He then asked: "How are Jiang Hu's preparations going?"

The first battalion commander said: "Regimental commander, don't worry, Jiang Hu brought the anti-tank combat team that the old regimental commander came to reinforce this time, saying that they are all ready.

The kid also said that he wants to invite our four groups to watch a classic anti-tank combat performance! "

That's what he said, but the first battalion commander always felt a little unreliable: "It's just...the regiment commander, just those dozen or so large torch-like equipment, can they really deal with the devil's tank?"

Wang Huaibao said: "This batch of individual combat rocket launchers is one of the American equipment sent by the transport team sent by the old regiment leader.

I heard that it was newly developed and produced by Yankee's military factory, but the specific design seems to be related to our old regiment leader, and the name was also given by the old regiment leader, it is called a blowing torch.

As for the power and whether it can carry out anti-tank operations, we don't know yet.

But, even if we can't trust this bazooka, we should also trust our old regiment leader! "

"That's for sure!" The first battalion commander said without hesitation, and then seemed to cheer himself up, "Since the old commander sent us this anti-tank team, he only sent these dozen torches , this thing will definitely be able to knock down the devil's tank."

"Then let's just wait and see!" Wang Huaibao laughed.

As the highest military commander of the Fourth Regiment, Wang Huaibao was much calmer. He had prepared several plans, if the anti-tank team could not destroy the devil's tank.

He could still lead the soldiers to evacuate calmly, avoiding the sharp edge of the devil's tank troops.

The big deal is to rely on sophisticated equipment to break out of the devil's siege again, get into the mountains again, and rely on the mountain to fight guerrilla attacks with the devil.

Let's see how much manpower and material resources he still has, and how many more sweeps he can launch.

... time passed quickly.

In order to avoid casualties on his own side, Wang Huaibao's orders to the various dispersal combat troops were very clear:
Avoid any kind of head-to-head engagement with the Japanese tank units that crash into them.

Once you encounter a Japanese tank unit, you immediately choose to evacuate and temporarily take the lead.

The devil's tanks and armored vehicles are reserved for the anti-tank combat team to deal with. Although the equipment of other combat companies is excellent, they may not be effective against tanks, and unnecessary casualties will occur if they are not careful. This is what Wang Huaibao does not want to see of.

In this way, the tank units used by the Japanese army quickly appeared in an unimpeded situation, but they encountered Eighth Route Army combat units on the way forward.

The Eight Route General Assembly hastily withdrew.

Japanese tanks and armored vehicles immediately chose to pursue.

In the eyes of the Japanese, this scene must have been captured by the Eighth Route Army under the might of the tank troops of the Empire of Japan, and they did not dare to engage in a direct confrontation.

The news spread to the rear headquarters of the Japanese army.

There was also a smug smile on the corner of the devil commander's mouth.

It is indeed a wise move to use tank troops to deal with the well-equipped independent fourth regiment.

Seeing that the attack by the tank troops was effective, even directly driving the Eighth Route Army troops backwards, the Devil Command immediately ordered the infantry to continue to advance in cooperation with the tank troops.

In this way, it will be accompanied by the contraction of the main force of the devil's sweep.

The Japanese commander judged that sooner or later these Tuba Roads would have to confront the tank forces of the Empire of Japan.

At that time, with the help of the edge of the tank, the Eighth Route Army's Independent Fourth Regiment will surely be defeated in one fell swoop.

Somewhere deep in Zhongtiao Mountain.

Jiang Hu, the leader of the third anti-tank combat team of the first team, led [-] team members to the temporary regiment headquarters of the fourth regiment and reported to the leader Wang Huaibao.

"Reporting to the head, our anti-tank combat team is all ready and ready to go into battle at any time to destroy the Japanese tanks!"

Looking at the anti-tank combat team standing neatly and confidently in front of him, Wang Huaibao nodded with satisfaction, and then only asked:
"How does the main force need to assist you in combat?"

Jiang Hu patted the bazooka, which weighed only a dozen kilograms, which he carried in his left hand, and replied:

"Commander, our torch has an effective range of only about 100 meters against the devil's tanks, and the longest range is less than 400 meters."

"In order to ensure the effective destruction of Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, it is best to be able to shorten the range to within 60 meters."

"so……"

Wang Huaibao nodded and said, "Understood, don't worry, I will arrange troops to carry out the task of luring the enemy into the attack area of ​​your anti-tank combat team."

He pointed out several of them on the map, "These three areas are all excellent locations for anti-tank operations.

The tanks and armored vehicles of the Japanese army may not always be together. Once the devils divide their troops to fight, I will send troops to lead the devils' armored troops to these three areas, and your anti-tank combat team will also prepare in advance. "

"Yes!" Jiang Hu replied.

Wang Huaibao finally asked: "Jiang Hu, if you want to destroy the devil's armored vehicle unit at the least cost, you can only ask your anti-tank combat team.

This battle must be successful, otherwise our army may fall into a passive position in the follow-up Japanese army's continued sweep. "

"Yes! Please don't worry, leader, Jiang Hu vows to complete the task!" Jiang Hu responded loudly, his eyes full of determination.

Wang Huaibao immediately stared and cursed:
"Bullshit, you have to destroy this devil's tanks and armored vehicles, and your anti-tank team must also come back alive.

You are the treasured soldiers of the old regiment commander, and I can't do business without one of them! "

"Hey, yes!" Jiang Hu responded with a smirk...
