After laughing wildly in secret for a while, Pang Xingguotao took out something, which was the first to invent. At that time, its name was "Fireball" - an explosive thrown by his hands. In fact, in the five thousand years of history of China, there are many intelligent people like crucian carp crossing the river, so it is not surprising that they invent such things.

The same thing was in Europe. It was not until 1405 that the earliest drawings of hand-dumped ammunition appeared in a handwritten copy in Italy. The inventor is said to be the famous Lord Dafanchi. However, 300 years later, after the first century, hand-dumped ammunition was launched in Europe to load gunpowder and lead projectiles into iron tubes. That is, at this time, this hand-dumped ammunition was called "grenades". This name has been used to this day, but this grenade is different from the current grenades.

During World War I, the long and cruel trench warfare made grenades widely used. At that time, the German wooden handle grenade and the British pineapple-shaped Mills-style grenade became the two representatives of the grenade family. They also laid the foundation for the later development of grenades.

During World War II, grenades developed rapidly, especially in China. They used neither German Mubing grenades nor British Polo grenades, but were similar to shells. In this form, not only were special grenades such as cigarette cartridges, incendiary bombs, tear gas, and shock bombs easier to produce, but they could even easily produce hollow-loaded anti-tank grenades, which put a lot less pressure on logistics.

However, the launch of this grenade has become a problem. The solution of the Chinese Emperor Zhao Gang is very simple. Regarding the launch of grenade grenades, His Majesty the Emperor and Concubine Yan had a fierce debate.

"What's wrong with learning? I have to learn Japanese things!"

"The grenade launcher is also called ultra-light mortar. It is mainly equipped with Nazi Germany and old Japanese troops in World War II. Its caliber is less than 50mm. It is carried by individual soldiers and does not occupy the organization. The German grenade launcher has a diameter of 50mm. The warhead weighs about 1 kilogram. The range is about 250 meters. The rate of fire is 25/min. The killing radius is on the right. The Japanese grenade launcher has a diameter of 50mm. There are two models. The main difference is the length of the projectile. The Japanese invaders mainly equipped the projectile of a 254-meter grenade launcher. Each infantry team is equipped with a crooked handle and a grenade launcher. Because the launch preparation time is short, it is also widely used as a command center. The range is 300 meters. The rate of fire is 30 rounds/min. The killing radius is about 5. The grenade launcher is lighter, but the combat effectiveness is worse."

"Then why not use a mortar, the same weight...

"The first point is lightweight and easy to carry. It can provide timely fire support

The Type 91 grenade is not 0.45 kilograms, and eight rounds of ammunition bags are only 3.6 kilograms. In addition, the entire grenade cannon system is less than 7 kilograms, which is much lighter than a Czech light machine gun. Due to its light weight, the grenade cannon team will not be as heavy as the mortar group or heavy machine gun group, and cannot fight with the front-line infantry in time. In actual combat, the grenade cannon team can even charge with the infantry."

"What you said makes sense. But I remember that the gun-mounted grenade launcher replaced this grenade launcher. Wouldn't we change it then? Isn't this equivalent to taking a lot of detours?"

"You are right, but as far as I know, it was the case that mortars replaced grenade launchers after World War II. At that time, mortar technology developed rapidly, and the price and weight of mortars gradually approached the grenade launchers. In addition, mortars have advantages in range and accuracy, the elimination of grenade launchers seems inevitable.

For example, the power is good. The cost is low. Generally speaking, the killing radius of the grenade can be about 58 meters. If a grenade falls into the crowd, it can kill dozens of people. This power is still good for a 50-meter caliber."

In World War I and many wars afterwards, due to the existence of heavy firepower weapons, hundreds or thousands of people charged densely by people like in the movie have disappeared. Most of the battles are under the cover of their own artillery fire or armored vehicles. They attack in the form of small squads or platoons. This kind of battle is because of the small number of people and the dispersion. It is more difficult to use gun weapons to strike these targets. On average, 15,000 bullets are fired for each soldier killed, which is extremely costly than the machine gun.

On the contrary, weapons like grenade launchers are very different. The killing distance of the grenade can reach more than ten meters (with special grenades can reach 20 meters). Because the launch distance is very close and the hit rate is very high, if it is a group.

Grenades can often kill more than ten people.

Therefore, under Zhao Gang's repeated insistence, the grenade launcher was retained as a regular equipment. Moreover, after the improvement of the powerful Chinese military industry, the performance of the new grenade launcher far exceeded that of the original Japanese grenade launcher in time and space. The grenade launcher was 37 mm in 1915. The total gun length was 713 meters, the gun body length was 660 meters, the total gun weight was 2.2 kilograms, the gun foot weight was 1.3 kilograms, the gun foot weight was 0.9 kilograms, the foot plate was 60 mm, the foot plate width was 550, and the effective range was 420. The range was reduced, mainly because the effective killing of this weapon was between 100 and 200. Instead of unnecessary increase of the range, it was better to increase the shooting accuracy.

This weapon was immediately welcomed by the Chinese army, and basically reached the point of two per squad. As the squad leader, Pang Guoxingye carried one with him. Now it was time for him to show his skills.

"Liu Meng!"

"exist!"

"After my grenade comes out, you will use a light machine gun to seal the exit of the Indian army and let them all stay inside."

"yes!"

"Liu Zhiwen!"

"arrive!"

"Don't be so nervous and relax. This is a group of cooked ducks. If you can't run away, just prepare the grenades for me. Don't break the gears at that time!"

After everything was ready, Pang Xingguo calmly pulled the firing rod, then loaded the grenade from the port of the barrel to complete the installation of the ammunition. Hold the firing barrel with his left hand, rotated the handle according to the target distance until the adjustment rod reaches the corresponding length. After the shooter aimed briefly through the aiming line, he pulled the belt on the firing machine to shoot the grenade out.

"Boom!" A loud noise immediately sounded at the Indian army's garrison barracks. The Type 15 grenade will reach more than 700. Although this fragment weighs less than one gram, it has enough kinetic energy to penetrate any creature within 8. There was a scream in the Indian army camp, followed by a unique clatter of light machine guns. Some Indian soldiers were panicked and wanted to come out of the door, becoming helpless dancers in front of Liu Meng's light machine gun vitality, lying in the door with blood.

Then two loud noises were made. Faced with the barracks of Pang Xingguo, he could not withstand this terrible attack. The whole thing collapsed, and Limai's screams immediately weakened. However, unexpected situations occurred. The left side was violently fired by the Indian army. The unique thunderous sound of heavy machine guns claimed to take over the say on the battlefield. Liu Meng's light machine gun was far inferior to that, and the vitality of the Indian army immediately pressed Pang Xingguo and others to the bottom of the ditch.

This sudden shooting caught Pang Xingguo off guard. After borrowing the periscope, Pang Xingguo saw that the Indian army's firepower point was set in a hidden woods. If heavy machine guns were allowed to suppress it, the number of Indian troops would seriously threaten a small team with only three people. There was nothing to cover the body, so it could only be mostly under the ravine. This treatment is very reasonable in the short term, because the Indian army's bullets shot from a low point to a high point, while Pang Xingguo and others hid under the ravine, which happened to be a blind spot for shooting.

"Yeah, it doesn't matter, look at me!"

Pang Xingguo calmly obtained the enemy's distance through the periscope, and then used the same method to obtain the position of the grenade launcher, and fired several grenade launchers into the woods. After a few grenades, the Indian army's machine guns temporarily disappeared. However, not much time later, the army's heavy machine guns started to scatter again.

Every few seconds, bullets flew towards them like a gust of wind. The dense bullets were shot on the ground, and the unknown concerto of death sounded. Yin Jun no longer cared about saving ammunition and continued to shoot at them frantically.

"Squad Leader Pang, how about launching a grenade launcher?" Liu Zhiwen suggested.

"I've shot just now, but I didn't react. There are not many grenades anymore, so I have to save some money. Don't look at the Indians' fun."

"Squad leader, I think it's effective. Now the enemy's heavy machine gun is no longer ringing, but the light machine gun is ringing. Do you listen?"
