Chapter 80

Okamura Yanji looked at Kenichi Akiyama in front of him with a serious expression. Kenichi Akiyama felt a little nervous, not knowing what he had made.

After a while, Okamura Yasuji threw a stack of information to his desk and said, "Akiyama, take a look at this!"

"Yes!" Kenichi Akiyama responded, took the information from his desk and flipped through it, then widened his eyes in disbelief and said with difficulty: "What, is this... the Eighth Route Army produces another 'shot bullet'?"

It turned out that the information was about the Eighth Route Army rocket launcher, but it was just a single-barrel rocket launcher sold by Li Yunlong to Chu Yunfei.

The Imperial Army had intelligence personnel lurking in the Eighth Route Army, Jin Army and even the Chongqing Front Army.

Some of these intelligence personnel were from the Imperial Army, such as the mainland upright team, and some were picked out from the puppet army to invade the enemy after training. Others were captured in battle and then reinvaded after being persuaded to surrender.

The Eighth Route Army was organized relatively tightly and had a higher level of confidentiality for new artillery, so the Imperial Army could not directly obtain information.

But after the Jin army made a deal with the Eighth Route Army to obtain rocket artillery, the Imperial Army quickly obtained detailed information about this new artillery from the Jin army.

Sitting at the desk, Okamura Yanji silently lit a cigarette and said coldly: "Continue to watch, Akiyama, there is also the Eighth Route Army's "squirt-in-fighting" tactics and practical performance behind it!"

Kenichi Akiyama hurriedly turned down a few pages, and then saw what Okamura Yasuji said about "actual performance".

As he watched, Kenichi Akiyama's cold sweat came down.

He knew why Okamura Yanji looked at him with this murderous look.

Before, Okamura Yasuji asked him whether the Imperial Army could imitate the "squirt-in bomb" used by the Eighth Route Army. Kenichi Akiyama answered this:

"Lieutenant General, I think at least our army does not have this demand at this time."

"First of all, the Chinese army has basically no tanks, and even if there are tanks, it is not worth mentioning. This makes the 'shot injected bombs' without targets."

"Secondly, the accuracy of the 'injection bomb' is insufficient, and it must be close to the shooting. When fighting against infantry, our army can fully use grenade launchers!"

Kenichi Akiyama didn't say anything about it, that is, the "squirt-in bomb" used by the Eighth Route Army can only penetrate more than ten millimeters of armor when dealing with tanks, and even if it is replaced with smokeless gunpowder, it can only barely penetrate more than twenty millimeters.

This armor-piercing ability may be useful for the Eighth Route Army to fight against Imperial tanks... The weakest point of Imperial tank armor is only 6 mm.

But if the Imperial army is used to deal with potential enemies, this armor-piercing ability cannot even penetrate the rear armor, so it will be useless.

However, these have nothing to do with Okamura's war on the Chinese battlefield, Kenichi Akiyama didn't say much.

Okamura Yasuji felt that Kenichi Akiyama's statement was reasonable. There was no need for anti-tanks and anti-infantry was not as good as grenade launchers. The imperial army's use of "squirt-in bombs" was a waste of time.

The Eighth Route Army used "spraying bullets", one was the tanks that could be anti-imperial troops, and the other was that its anti-infantry equipment was extremely simple and seriously insufficient firepower, so the "spraying bullets" could be used for the full use.

This should be different situations and different analysis. We cannot blindly pursue the things that the enemy has. The imperial army must also have.

However, after the Eighth Route Army used the "squirt-in-arms" on the cannons, the situation was completely different...

Okamura Yasuji vomited a long breath of smoke and said word by word after the smoke: "Akiyama-kun, this weapon that you think is unprosperous and not worthy of equipment caught our army off guard in the last battle. Although the Empire had reconnaissance planes in the air, tanks on the ground, and a large number of artillery soldiers, there was no way to use artillery like the Eighth Route Army. A assault brigade, including twelve tanks, and another artillery brigade, were all killed and injured under artillery like the Eighth Route Army. Can Akiyama-kun give me an explanation?"

"Yes!" Kenichi Akiyama lowered his head and replied: "I'm very sorry, it was my mistake!"

Okamura Yanji suddenly started a fire. He stood up with a "home" sound and shouted: "Is this just a mistake? Your mistake caused me to lose more than 500 excellent imperial soldiers, as well as twelve tanks and six artillery pieces. This does not count the negative impact caused by the failure of the battle!"

"Yes!" Kenichi Akiyama replied in a trembling voice: "I'm very sorry!"

This is actually not the indictment of Kenichi Akiyama, but the idea of ​​the Imperial Army General Staff Headquarters. They have never attached importance to the development of "squirting into bombs", and they also believe that "squirting into bombs" has no future. Kenichi Akiyama is just an executor of scientific research direction.

But Kenichi Akiyama dared to refute anything, so he could only bow down and keep silent.

Then Okamura Yasuji turned around and asked: "Akiyama, I want to know if we have the ability to produce this 'squirt-in-blast'?"

"Yes!" Ken Akiyama responded, then hurriedly looked through the information and answered with certainty: "Lieutenant General, we can produce such 'injection bombs', which is even more advanced than the enemy's, but... the shell production may not be high!"

"Is our output not as good as the Eighth Route Army?" Okamura Yanji was furious again.

Ken Akiyama thought about it and gave an explanation: "Lieutenant General, the Eighth Route Army was produced without any other alternative equipment. They can only use 'shot injectors', but we have various types of artillery, and even many artillery are far higher than 'shot injectors', so..."

Okamura Yanji frowned and waved his hand weakly to stop Kenichi Akiyama from continuing.

He found himself convinced by Kenichi Akiyama again.

The situation at this time was indeed as Kenichi Akiyama said, and the imperial army seemed to have no need to develop "injection bombs".

Want to cover a certain area with firepower?

All kinds of long-range cannons can do it, and it is even more accurate than "squirting into bombs".

Then why are the Imperial Army helpless when facing the Eighth Route Army’s “injection of bullets”?

Okamura Yasuji discovered that the problem was not actually due to the equipment.

To be precise, the problem is indeed in equipment, but it is a combination of equipment and tactics.

"Spraying in the bullet" is actually a piece of equipment suitable for guerrilla combat, so it is more suitable for the Eighth Route Army to fight, and it is suitable for running when using "Spraying in the bullet". Even if the accuracy of "Spraying in the bullet" is not high, it doesn't matter. As long as one shell can hit, it will be profitable.

The imperial army is the attacking side, the side fighting regular wars and encirclement and suppression. They cannot use "squirt-in" bombs to fight guerrillas like the Eighth Route Army...

Therefore, this is unreplicable to the Imperial Army.

Thinking of this, Okamura Yasuji could only sigh and said, "You can leave!"

Ken Akiyama was as if he had an amnesty. He hurriedly bowed several times and apologized, and then left in a hurry.
