Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 196 Border Weapon Experimental Research Bureau
The busy time always passes quickly, and before you know it, December [-]st has come.

Huanghe's new laboratory was completed yesterday. In order to provide researchers with a good working environment, Director Li specially arranged an engineering team to stay near Gaoqiao Town.

New buildings in this era do not need to emit formaldehyde. After various facilities and equipment are in place, comrades can directly move in and start scientific research work.

The laboratory covers an area of ​​17 mu, located in the due west of the border area.

There are not only a variety of machine tools and power supply systems, but also all the advanced equipment in the border area.

As the director said, Huang He was transferred from the Military Industry Bureau by his superiors.

The name of the new department is the Border Region Weapons Experimental Research Bureau, and there are three departments under it. The position of director naturally falls to someone Huang.

Huang He is in charge of the affairs of the first department, and the current topic is research on rockets and individual anti-tank weapons.

The leader of the second section is Shan Wenbao, and all the design and experiments related to the aircraft are carried out here.

It is worth mentioning that the second in command of this department is a ruthless person.He came to the border region last month, and in just a few days, he convinced all the researchers with his rich theoretical knowledge and strong hands-on ability.

Graduated from the Department of Aviation of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he worked successively at the Chicago Xishi Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, the Detroit Woagsi Aircraft Manufacturing Plant and the Kansas American Eagle Aircraft Manufacturing Plant.

Because of his strong interest in aircraft since he was a child, he used his own wages and factory scraps to design and manufacture a biplane, two-seat trainer during his working days in Ugly.

At present, under the leadership of the two, the department mainly develops trainers for elementary, middle, and high levels to contribute to the future air force in the border area.

Most of the comrades in the third department come from the military industry bureau. Their work is based on French weapons and develops new infantry weapons that are more in line with our army's usage habits and tactics.

On the first day of entering the new department, the director rarely put down the work at hand and came to congratulate him.Looking at the energetic comrades, he tugged Huang He's arm and said with a smile:

"Look, I told you that sooner or later you will have to work alone, and you have only come back for more than a month, and you have directly become the leader yourself. I worked in the position of deputy director for three years before I became a regular. Your speed is really fast enough Outrageous."

"But having said that, how is your research project going? When will you be able to come up with the results? The new department is established, and you, the bureau chief, have to give your comrades a good start."

In fact, the director was just making a joke. As a scientific researcher, he certainly knows that every project is not easy.

Especially for a brand new weapon, it often takes a lot of theoretical deduction and experiments before it can be finalized.

However, this is not a problem for Huang He. After all, he stands on the shoulders of giants and has a lot of experience for future generations to refer to.

Perhaps the research progress of the Katyusha rocket launcher and the V2 rocket is a bit slow, but it is not difficult to develop an individual anti-tank weapon under the existing conditions.

Looking at the director who was eating melons, Huang He showed his big white teeth and gave out a magical smile like Li Yunlong.

"Hey, let's say we hit it off, but this time our thoughts coincide with each other again. Give me five days, and then I will hand in an answer that satisfies everyone."

"Just look at it, our military industry bureau doesn't support idlers."

"it is good!"

----

At nine o'clock in the morning on December [-]th, today Huang He invited the chief to visit the test firing of new weapons.

After recording the last set of data, he and Wang Dexing each carried a weapon case and headed straight from the office to the parking lot.

Considering safety issues, the Bureau of Weapons Experimentation and Research is more than 30 kilometers away from the border area. Even if you drive there, it will take half an hour.

The new weapon developed by Huang He this time is a copy of the Type 56 40mm rocket launcher equipped by later generations of PLA.

In the original plan, he wanted to develop a Type 69 40mm rocket launcher that uses double-base drugs and can be propelled by two stages.After all, the materials and technology in the bureau are barely up to standard, so it can be made theoretically.

In the future, with the addition of 107mm rocket launchers, it seems very reasonable to equip the most proficient guerrilla warfare troops with guerrilla artifacts in the world.

However, considering the working hours, production difficulty and commemorative significance, Huang He decided to develop the old version of 40 fire first.

This is also due to the awakening of the Tiger system. The original infantry technology in the game included anti-tank rifles and anti-tank rocket launchers.

It may be because the Gallic chickens did not develop this weapon during World War II, and most of their fighters in North Africa used the bazooka aided by the ugly country.

As a result, Huang He could only research and produce it by himself, and even 40 fires could not be fed back to the system, and could not be mass-produced through the military factories in the system, so it was a waste of effort.

After arriving at the shooting range, the two saw the somewhat tired chief at a glance, and beside him were several backbones of the Military Industry Bureau waiting for today's test firing.

Comrades have more or less heard of the research field of the Yellow River, but unfortunately due to the limitations of the times, everyone only has a general concept of rockets.

After all, the first tube to appear during World War II was the bazooka, which made its debut on the North African battlefield a year later.

Seeing that today's protagonist had already entered the arena, the director trotted over and took the weapon box in Huang He's hand, and then carefully took out a long hollow barrel about one meter from it.

Although it is a brand new weapon, it is not difficult to tell that this part is the launcher through the grip and trigger of the front half.

Since the border area has a variety of new weapons, comrades' views and requirements for weapons have long since changed.

In the past, the requirements for infantry light weapons were very simple, as long as they could spray bullets and hit devils.Now the days are getting better, and everyone is starting to pursue the suppression of the enemy.

The views on artillery are similar, and everyone in the Military Industry Bureau prefers large-caliber weapons.Although the transportation problem has not been solved, who doesn't want to be a happy bomber.

After groping for half a minute, the bureau chief looked at Huang He suspiciously, and the very moment he opened his mouth, he was interrogating directly to the soul.

"Is this the new weapon you developed? Why are you getting smaller and smaller?"

"I estimate that the caliber is at most 40mm. From the appearance, it looks a bit like an extended version of the grenadier. Let me introduce it quickly. I don't see any way."

In fact, there is nothing wrong with saying that the new weapon is like a grenadier. After all, the Type 56 40mm rocket launcher is imitated from Maozi's RPG-2.

The RPG-2 is improved on the basis of the Tekken PzT 250. They all rely on the burning of gunpowder to push out the warhead.

In principle, it is indeed consistent with mortars and grenade launchers, and it is essentially different from the subsequent version of the 69-type 40mm rocket launcher that uses rocket boosters.

However, this does not hinder its power. This weapon is definitely the best solution for infantry anti-armor at the moment.

Hearing the word smaller and smaller, Huang He shook his head helplessly.He ignored the other party's ridicule, and directly introduced the weapons to the comrades present.

"You can call it a grenade, but I still think the bazooka is more domineering. This weapon is not complete yet, and there will be an upgraded version in the future."

"The principle of the weapon is very simple. It uses the reaction impulse of the jet gas after the gunpowder burns to provide the warhead with flight kinetic energy."

After speaking here, he took out the warhead from another box.

"This thing fires 82mm super-caliber rockets, so don't say I'm small. Its armor-piercing effect reaches a full 100mm at a distance of 150-200 meters."

"After the frontline troops are equipped with 40 firearms, even if a single infantry encounters the armored vehicles and tanks of the devils, there are ways to deal with them."

"Even if you are facing an armored train, you can shoot a few shots at the front of the car, and the effect is excellent."

Although most of the comrades present had never been on the battlefield, their years of experience in developing weapons allowed them to understand what the soldiers wanted.

After a short study, they decided that this weapon was very suitable for the current style of play of the troops.

The concealment of firing in the prone position is extremely high, and it can bring great surprises to devils no matter in guerrilla warfare or fortified warfare.

The rocket launcher is only more than one meter long with a warhead installed, and weighs less than five kilograms. This kind of powerful mobility can be delegated to the squad.

Two shooters, the principal and the deputy, can run with them, and it's not easy to shoot a blockhouse or something.

Everyone even saw the beautiful scenery of soldiers riding bicycles and carrying bazookas, unplugging a blockhouse and gun tower overnight.

Thinking of this, the director looked excited, and he dragged Huang He's arm to the shooting position.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and try it out, let's open our eyes and see the specific power of the new weapon."

Huang He nodded. He opened the ammunition box and took out an 82mm rocket from inside.Then he took the 40 fire handed over from behind and put it directly on his shoulders.

Because it is a rushed product, this bazooka uses a simple folding mechanical sight composed of a front sight and a rear sight.

There are three square frame slots for observation on the gauge, which are used to aim at targets at 50 meters, 100 meters and 150 meters respectively.

After slightly adjusting the angle, Huang He reloaded from the front, then opened the trigger safety, and pressed the hammer to adjust the 40 fire to the ready state.

"I'm going to fight, you guys stay a little farther away, don't stick too close."

After the crowd dispersed, he adjusted his breathing and pointed the weapon in his hand at the humanoid target and sandbags more than 130 meters away.Once you're done aiming, pull the trigger immediately.

The flange on the trigger lifts the sear to release the hammer, and the hammer strikes the firing pin under the action of the hammer spring, and the firing pin hits the bottom cap.

The propellant was ignited, and the armor-piercing projectile was launched smoothly.

I saw a flame coming out of the tail of the bazooka, and the shells at the front shot out suddenly.Drawing a trajectory visible to the naked eye in the air, the armor-piercing projectile flew towards the humanoid target and sandbags in the distance.

boom!
A deafening explosion sounded, and the target positions and sandbags in the distance were blown up and flew all over the sky.

Such a big commotion, even if the comrades in the Military Industry Bureau were mentally prepared, they were still taken aback.

The theorem that smoke does not hurt does not apply to modern weapons. When the smoke clears, the target position is already a mess.

After observing the power of the new weapons at close range, everyone has reached a consensus.Even bunkers and gun towers made of reinforced concrete should not be able to withstand the successive attacks of rocket launchers.

Huang He was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. He was very confident in the new weapon he had developed. After he pulled the trigger, a real man never looked back at the explosion.

"How about it, old Zeng? Is the power of this bazooka okay? Can it catch your old man's eyes?"

The corner of the director's mouth twitched. When he heard the word "super-caliber", he expected that someone was going to play tricks.

Judging from his experience, the effect of this armor-piercing shell is definitely no less than that of an 82mm mortar.

"What kind of powder did you use, why is it so powerful? And the accuracy of this bazooka is too high, the trajectory just now was almost straight."

"Ah, of course it's a mixed explosive of RDX and TNT, with 420 grams in a warhead."

The chemical industry in the border area is much stronger than that of the logistics department of the Eighth Route Army. The hand grenades in Jin Province still use nitrostarch and nitroglycerin.

But in October of this year, the Border Region already had the ability to produce RDX and TNT.Although the output is not high, it is definitely enough to make rocket launchers.

As for the accuracy, it is not bad, because the tail of the rocket is welded with six pieces of elastic steel tail.

They are usually coiled on the tail pipe, and the tail hoop will slide off when loading from the front of the barrel mouth.After being fired, it flies away from the mouth of the barrel, and the tail springs to ensure the stable flight of the projectile.

Theoretically speaking, an experienced fighter uses 40 fires, and the standard deviation is only 100×0.5m within a range of 0.4m.

Just when everyone was about to test shoot the second round, a middle-aged man walked into the shooting range.He was just walking nearby, and was attracted by the sound of unfamiliar guns.

"Haha, why are there so many people today? They are experimenting with some new weapon, right? The movement just now was not small. I heard it hundreds of meters away."

"A new cannon? Gallic chicken? Let me see."

After hearing the voice, everyone turned their heads in unison, and it was the Army Morale Master who came.Huang He paid a military salute first, and then handed over the bazooka in his hand to the boss.

When he was young, he often led the guard platoon to charge into battle with flower organs in hand.On weekdays, I like to study new weapons the most. When I saw 40 fires today, I had the urge to fire a few rounds.

After firing three shots in a row, the Army Morale Master clapped his hands contentedly.

"This weapon is very suitable for our grassroots fighters. If the production can be guaranteed, the success rate of our operations in Jin Province next year will definitely increase by [-]%."

"You guys study it and see when it can be mass-produced, and submit a report to me in a few days."

After the boss left, the director's face immediately turned a little worse, and he complained to Huang He with a sad face:

"Hey, there are really more and more jobs. You have already sent a group of people from the Military Industry Bureau away, and now there is another big job! Send me the blueprints as soon as possible, and send some researchers! "

"Is there still a 50mm mortar at the end of this month? I'm really going to be exhausted by you sooner or later!"
