Chapter 60 Test Shot

Rocket launchers enter mass production after only one full-on launch.

This is not because Zhang Wanhe and others are not cautious, but because of the wartime equipment, not to wait for people, not to mention that the Eighth Route Army is still blank in the long-range equipment area.

Before this, the equipment that the Eighth Route Army could attack was the original ghost cannon seized from the Japanese. It could hit 2.7 kilometers of original shells, but this was not counted because the original shells could be counted with ten fingers.

In addition, it is a self-produced ghost cannon, but the number is also pitifully small.

The rocket launcher is six kilometers at the beginning. Not only does it double the range of firepower strikes, but the shells can still be produced by themselves and the output is not low. This is a problem from scratch. No matter what the problem is, it has its value.

So Zhang Wanhe immediately reported to the chief to apply for mass production.

The leader was a little unbelievable when he heard that the rocket could hit six kilometers: "Is it true? Six kilometers, this rocket launcher can provide fire cover for Zhaojiayu!"

Although Zhaojiayu is more than ten miles away from the headquarters, it is walking on winding mountain roads and highways, with a straight line distance of less than six kilometers.

"Of course it's true!" Zhang Wanhe replied: "This shot has hit Wujiaba, but fortunately it didn't hurt anyone, otherwise I would have paid my life!"

The leader's eyes lit up: "Can you hit Wujiaba? It's not bad, it's six kilometers!"

Then he asked again: "How about the spread area?"

Zhang Wanhe replied: "I haven't tried it yet, I'll just hit it! I was thinking...why should we let the enemy go?"

On the one hand, Zhang Wanhe was still scared because he almost hit Wujiaba before, but on the other hand, he was reluctant to use twelve shells for testing. These shells were expensive and would not be so wasteful!

Then Zhang Wanhe added: "Chief, I heard that the Japanese have gathered a lot of artillery on the blockade line. Let's... let's practice the Japanese artillery?"

The leader thought about it and shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate to do this. It's likely that our army's firepower will be exposed in advance to make the enemy prepare!"

The chief said this, and as a commander, he is more about considering the overall situation and strategy.

For him, this kind of rocket launcher should be used as a secret weapon, rather than sacrificing the suddenness of equipment in combat because he is reluctant to give up more than a dozen shells. This may be much more valuable on the battlefield than more than a dozen shells.

"What's more," the chief added: "If we attack the enemy's position, how can we determine the area of ​​scattering?"

Zhang Wanhe instantly felt that he had a tiny weapon, so he nodded: "As long, then... let's fight first?"

"Fight, of course you have to fight!" The leader nodded and said, "Only after fighting, you will know what role it can play on the battlefield. Only when you fight will you know how to command it. You can't bear to leave these shells!"

So, the arsenal conducted one and only full-bomb test.

During this test launch, the chief and chief of staff came and also brought documents to record the entire process.

The arsenal also made sufficient preparations. Under Zhang Wanhe's arrangement, the two kilometers of the area around the target area was cleared, and the guards were specially tuned to search the surrounding high ground for a few days.

This is not only for the safety of the people, but also for the concern that there are spies, and the spies hide the secret weapon of the Eighth Route Army.

Finally, I answered the phone and set up a Japanese artillery position on the shooting range with wooden sticks and other simulations.

Then with Zhang Wanhe's order, the rockets flew out one after another.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the scene as "spectacular". In a choking smoke, the rocket flew into the sky with its unique roar and headed straight for the destination. Then a "boom" explosion exploded a barrage in the direction of the shooting range.

When the smoke dissipated a little, he found that the mud behind the rocket launcher had been burned black, and several branches scattered on the ground were lit. The guards were worried that it would cause an accident, so they hurriedly covered their noses and stepped forward to extinguish the fire.

The chief and chief of staff held the telescope and looked at the shooting range from a distance, but only saw the fire and smoke but did not know the result.

Then an excited shout came from the phone: "Destroy the enemy artillery positions, repeat, destroy the enemy artillery positions..."

The command center suddenly burst into cheers.

Before this, many people were worried about whether the battle method of bazooka, which is a number-to-face combat, is feasible... After all, theory is theory, and actual combat may be another matter.

For example, last time, everyone thought it could only hit four kilometers, but it hit six kilometers. Does that mean it was two kilometers away from the target?

But now, with a complete twelve rockets, accurately covering the target area, everyone's heart finally fell.

Six kilometers!

A few seconds of launch time instantly destroys an enemy artillery position!

This was a fantasy for the Eighth Route Army before, and no one dared to believe it if it was said!

But it is now in front of you.

Moreover, one rocket launcher has such power, so two, three or even more?

The leader held Zhang Wanhe's hand and was so excited that he couldn't speak. Then he found Wang Xuexin, patted Wang Xuexin on the shoulder, and said, "It's a big deal, Little Northeast! With this rocket launcher, our team finally has the same cannon that can be used!"

The chief of staff stepped forward and asked, "Comrade Wang Xuexin, this rocket... is also a solid gunpowder column, what other people can't learn?"

"Yes!" Wang Xuexin replied: "It's the kind that others have difficulties in producing and we are convenient for production!"

Everyone knew how to laugh.

Chu Yunfei did encounter the difficulties Wang Xuexin mentioned.

In fact, Chu Yunfei always felt something was wrong because he felt that this technology was too easy.

However, on the one hand, he felt that the Eighth Route Army might not know the value of this technology, and on the other hand, the solid gunpowder column was indeed produced using these dozen processes and placed in front of him, and Chu Yunfei had nothing to say.

Apart from the slow production speed and dangerous production process, nothing else can be doubted?

Chu Yunfei also sent people to Shanghai to buy tools. After using the new tools, the speed did increase, but it still could not be mass-produced.

Chu Yunfei frowned and asked Sun Ming: "It is difficult for us to produce 100 rockets a month, but the Eighth Route Army can equip the rocket launcher to various regiments in a short time. Is there any problem?"

Chu Yunfei's news was very well-informed. He knew that the Eighth Route Army had used rocket launchers in large quantities to fight the Japanese artillery towers on the blockade line.

Sun Ming replied: "The Eighth Route Army is different from us. They can easily mobilize a large number of people to produce for them. Although the speed is slow, they can invest more manpower. But we..."

Needless to say, the stubborn army has a bad reputation among the people, and it is almost a dream to let the people work for them for free.

Chu Yunfei thought about it and thought it was right, so he temporarily dispelled his doubts.

After hesitating for a while, Chu Yunfei ordered: "Immediately recruit soldiers with flexible hands and feet from the army, let them learn production methods and put them into production, and produce at least 200 rockets per month!"
Chapter completed!
