Chapter 1516: The appearance of the film (Part 2)(1/2)

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The earth-shaking explosion sounded across the battlefield.

The fire that soared into the sky almost filled the eyes of the Japanese Army Lieutenant General in that moment!

Before the violent waves swept over nearly a thousand meters away, what surged in Luohe Shinjiurou's eyes was endless pain and a little loneliness!

"Damn, this is also our cannon? This is too scary!" Luo Dahu, hiding in the trench, did not care about the dust and smoke coming to his face, and still opened his mouth wide.

This kind of destruction scene is worth more than the 150 heavy artillery shells fired by the Japanese army, or for Luo Dahu, it is even more awesome in terms of visual, audio and touch effects.

After all, when the Japanese artillery fired one after another, he and his friends hid in the tunnel to chew steamed buns, and at this time he was only more than 200 meters away from the explosion of the artillery fire.

In the face of such a devastating cover artillery fire, even the squad leader Adong, who was not afraid in his eyes, immediately hid himself in a deep trench and curled up in a circle after receiving the news that his artillery fire was about to cover the front of the position.

As a recruit, Luo Dahu was a little dissatisfied at first, thinking that he was hiding in a trench more than 2 meters deep, and there was a single gun hole behind him to avoid. What can scare the veterans into this bird?

In fact, not only Luo Dahu, a new recruit, thought so, but Adong also thought so at the beginning. The 150th rush is not the case. What new artillery cannon can make Platoon Commander Cao extremely serious in the walkie-talkie to inform all the officers and soldiers on the front line to prepare for avoiding artillery?

"The battalion commander said that this is a new artillery that the arsenal spent two years developing. It is powerful and has a little bit of accuracy. The regiment commander has never been willing to use it, so he just waited for the Japanese to attack with all their strength to record the ruthlessness for them. The special person in his squad looked at the head and saw the damage caused by the war. After the war, he went to the battalion commander to deal with the military law." Boss Cao roared in the walkie-talkie.

When Adong heard that this was a secret weapon specially made by the regiment commander, the alarm in his mind sounded wildly.

His regiment commander was definitely a god in the eyes of all the officers and soldiers of the Four Army Regiment. He heard that the triangular thunder that could leave blood holes was difficult to heal and the anti-infantry thunder that specializes in fried eggs were all written by him. This powerful and accurate cannon reminded him of the "Flying Thunder Cannon".

Is it possible that this new type of artillery is a "flying thunder cannon" with an extended range? The accurate head of that thing is not a bit bad, but it is very bad!

When I think of the 20-kilogram explosive pack, it is very likely to hit my head. Even Adong, who has 4 years of military experience, feels his bladder is a little tight.

Not to mention the fragile human body, it is even a solid scoundrel. Can it be lifted up even if you get a shot like this?

Soon, Luo Dahu paid the price for his "irrational" behavior. The wind and sand were swept by the terrible waves of air. The sandbag, which was half a meter thick, was fragile in front of this huge force, like an eggshell, easily rolled into the air. I don't know where it was thrown, because Luo Dahu, who was opening his mouth wide open, was filled with dust and ate full.

Of course, it’s nothing to eat some soil. On the way to escape, the hungry northern man had eaten all the leaves and grass roots of grass. The soil was almost written into the recipe.

What is terrible is the stones falling in the air and the soft human tissues that hit the trenches like rain.

Luo Dahu was so angry that he was grinning, which means he was lucky enough. A stone the size of a fist hit the helmet and smashed the helmet into a pit. His head was buzzing, but at least he didn't have any major problems.

At this time, he knew the use of squad leader A Dong curled up, and it was like being beaten up, so he tried to minimize the body area of ​​the beating.

Fortunately, the front line of positions is still more than 200 meters away from the shelling area, otherwise the falling stones are not the size of fists, but the level of a washbasin. The infantrymen in the four-line regiment of trenches in the front line of war were really going to be miserable by their own artillery.

This is the case in the trenches of Huangchaling. Is it worth mentioning that the Japanese infantry area that was bombarded?

People and various human tissues fly together, and the flames and sunset are the norm for the Japanese infantry on the open ground at this time.

"Baga! Damn the hairy bear man..." The Japanese Lieutenant General's eyes were filled with pain, but he couldn't help but clench his small fist.

Because he knew that his old opponent, the Four-East Group, had evolved again. Damn, they actually had the secret weapon that the Mao Bear Man was proud of - the rocket launcher!

Yes, rocket launchers are not a new term in this era. As early as the Battle of Orsha, the Hairy Bear Kingdom three years ago, the Hairy Bears had already used the first generation of rocket launchers to shock the famous Germanic general Guderian, and therefore he was given the title of "Devil's Artillery".

This cannon, which was eventually named Katyusha rocket launcher, can fire all 16 rockets in 10 seconds, eventually became the well-deserved "King of Firepower" of land warfare during World War II.

The Germanic Army captured nearly ten million square kilometers of land, almost fighting invincible hands across Europe, but was afraid when facing the "Devil's Cannon".

Because, facing such terrifying artillery that can throw hundreds of rockets within a few seconds, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of square meters of battlefields can be covered by the attack range, even infantry in the trenches will not escape the end of death, let alone infantrymen who are exposed to the surface.

In the battle of ice fields several years later in time and space, the Chinese army entered actual combat for the first time after obtaining the Katyusha rocket launcher. 24 "devil artillery" fired at one volley and fired 389 rockets. The two infantry battalions in the American Cowboys were directly destroyed, with more than 700 casualties!

The four-line regiment was not that awesome at this time. There were only 9 guns that were named "Storm 3" this time, each with 12 barrels. Only 108 rockets could be projected in a round of volleys.

The single rocket weighing 18 kilograms, with a flight speed of 370 meters per second, is as slow as a snail than the shells fired by traditional artillery. This is also the reason why human eyes can see white air marks in the air. If placed at night, perhaps the scene of hundreds of rockets attacking is beautiful.

It was like a meteor shower!

However, those who were lucky enough to witness the shooting of the meteor shower with their own eyes did not have the opportunity to record the shock from their hearts in words.

Because, they are all dead.

The Taihang Arsenal spent two years developing a rocket weighing 18 kilograms, with its own weight of 8.5 kilograms, and with the support of cyclone explosives, its killing radius reaches a dazzling 16 meters.

In conversion, the effective killing area is a terrifying 800 square meters, which is close to the area of ​​two standard basketball courts.

If these 9 "Storm 3" guns fired 108 rockets in a single saturated salvo, the overall killing area will be about 80,000 square meters, equivalent to 12 areas of standard football fields.

Perhaps someone will calculate the huge size of this "Storm 3" rocket launcher based on the huge power of the rocket, and the actual situation may shock you.

This rocket launcher proposed by Tang Tuanzu and jointly developed by future Chinese scientific giants is "small and exquisite".

The entire cannon is 2.6 meters long, 1.4 meters wide, and only 1.1 meters high. When placed on the ground, it is only the size of a trolley.

In addition, in terms of weight, the total weight of the marching state is: 390 kg, and the total weight of the combat state is: 620 kg. Not to mention the marching of the pack horse, even the 12 people in the artillery squad can be transferred and pulled by.

Of course, the storm rocket launchers in several launch positions in Hengyang City, now located 4 kilometers away, were pulled by assault jeeps, and they would be transferred immediately after a volley.

There is no way. The biggest shortcoming of rocket launchers is that they are too loud during launch, especially the flames erupted from the tail of the rocket, which are extremely obvious even in broad daylight.

Are you familiar with the parameters? Yes, this rocket launcher is the black technology of China's military industry in the future. It is a famous Type 63 107mm light-torched rocket launcher on the global battlefield.

At that time, Chinese military workers who could walk freely between mountains and firepower to support artillery may never have dreamed that they would design a cannon that was enough to change the world war mode.

There is a saying that, "If you are poor, you will be interspersed, and if you are rich, you will be blown up by me!" Since its establishment, the Chinese army has been in the Ice Field War. Whether it is domestic opponents, Japanese or Americans, they have always been Xiaomi rifles against the enemy.

Although they won in the end, only the Chinese soldiers themselves knew the hardships best. They were fighting against the enemy's steel flames with blood and life. Both the first and second generations of Chinese soldiers suffered from extremely strong "fire-deficiency phobia".

The strong pursuit of firepower is something that every generation of Chinese soldiers carved into their genes. It has never been cured because of the passage of time. That is a "terminal illness".

The same is true when placed on the 107 rocket launcher. Although it is small, its firepower is not weak at all. It can be equipped with up to 12 launch tubes, and can complete a volley in 7 to 9 seconds, with a maximum range of 8,500 meters.

In other words, the 107 rocket launcher, which weighs only one-tenth of the original Katyusha rocket launcher, has gained great maneuverability, but only one-quarter of the loading capacity in terms of firepower, which is a military masterpiece.

While obtaining strong firepower, Chinese soldiers never forgot their ability to start their own business. The positioning of the 107 rocket launcher with strong mobility is also very clear - born for guerrilla.

Speaking of guerrilla, I'm afraid no one in the world understands the essence of tactical and equipment pain points better than Chinese soldiers. In guerrilla warfare, all weapons and equipment must meet a prerequisite: portability.

Therefore, all the structures of the 107 rocket launcher have been detachable, from the gun stand, carriage to the launch tube, high and low wheels, all of which can be disassembled and assembled. The weight of a single component does not exceed 30 kilograms, which is only slightly heavier than a bag of rice.

During the design, the army also made clear requirements: the upper part is not the neck, the lower part is not the hip, the wider part is not the shoulder, and the center of gravity is close to the body. Therefore, even carrying the shoulders on the shoulder will not cause too much burden to the soldiers.

In addition, a traction ring is reserved on the rocket launcher's tow rod, which is specially used to connect with transportation tools such as cars, mules and horses, which fundamentally distinguishes the 107 rocket launcher from the bulky traditional rocket launcher - as long as it is a place where people can go, a 107 rocket launcher can be set up.

These design concepts were perfectly inherited by the Taihang Army Factory. At the most urgent time, the "Storm 3" cannon can even be dismantled and fired against the enemy with a single tube and a single rocket at close range.

The launch principle is the same as the "Zi Tian Monkey" I played in childhood. The muzzle is aimed at the front and does not care after ignition. The only difference is that the rocket that is pushed into a spiral flight state with a tail flame can maintain a relatively straight ballistic for a long distance, unlike the Zi Tian Monkey.

The mobility is so awesome, so what is the power of the 107 rocket launcher? After all, firepower is proportional to its size in principle.

For example, the 75mm mountain cannon is generally around 800 kilograms, the weight of the 105mm caliber howitzer cannon has soared to about 2,000 kilograms, and the Japanese Taisho four-year 150 mm howitzer is even closer to 3,000 kilograms.

I'm afraid no one knows the answer to this question better than American cowboys.

In the Battle of the Southwest Jungle 30 years later, the fledgling 107 rocket launcher was treated as aid to the bitter Jiaozhi people.

In the eyes of American cowboys who pursue ultimate power and violent aesthetics, "little guys" like the 107 rocket launcher cannot be on the table. However, Jiaozhi people quickly used practical actions to let the Americans understand what "a Chinese-made product must be a fine product."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! At 1 a.m. on August 1, 1972, the Jiaozhi Special Agents team quietly touched the edge of the US Air Force Base with 4 single-bars and 2 12-bars 107 rocket launchers.

They opened fire at the Mid-American base from 6 different directions. Under the floor-scrubbing attack of more than 250 rockets, the oil tanks in the Mid-American base exploded, a B-52 heavy bomber and 74 fighter jets were blown up, and the entire airport became a sea of ​​fire, with thousands of US soldiers dead. Until the end of the war, the airport was unable to fully restore it to its original state.

In addition, during China's southwestern counterattack against Jiaozhi, the Chinese army also used 107 rocket launchers to educate the Jiaozhi people.

According to Colonel Ruan Shaoxiong of Jiaozhi, during the Battle of Lang Son, his regiment was ordered to defend the 331 Highlands and was attacked fiercely by at least 20 107 rocket launchers of the Chinese army.

Under the offensive of the 107 rocket launcher, Ruan Shaoxiong hid in trenches everywhere on the top of the mountain, and only 72 were left.

Perhaps there were Jiaozhi people who leaned against tunnels and deep trenches to avoid air waves and shrapnel, but the 107 rocket also has a type of bomb called the phospho-aluminum incendiary bomb, which not only adheres to any object to burn, but also consumes a lot of oxygen, causing the creatures hiding in a narrow space to die due to suffocation.

Among the 108 rockets fired by the Artillery Battalion of the Four Line Regiment, there are as many as 30 incendiary bombs!

At the forefront of the vast Huangchaling position, the flames that spread out like flowers in the celestial girl were scattered, were actually a bit magnificent in the afterglow of the sunset.

But under these flashy brilliances, countless flowers of life withered!

Countless Japanese infantrymen relied on their deaths to avoid the surging air waves and shrapnel, but when these nearly beautiful flames fell on their bodies, they howled and rolled on the ground, and then were swept away or torn into several pieces by the next air wave, it all depends on the angle of the air wave's focus.

In short, this round of volleys stopped the Japanese army that had advanced less than 200 meters from the front position of Huangchaling.

According to post-war statistics, in this round of firepower output, the 27th Division suffered more than 700 infantry casualties on the spot, almost destroying an infantry brigade.

But this is definitely not the biggest loss for the Japanese army in front of the "Storm 3" artillery on July 9th. After Lieutenant General Luohe, who had been waiting for his old opponent's trump card, was stunned by his old opponent's heavy punch, he immediately became cautious and only invested in the squadron-level infantry attacks in the subsequent attacks.

This level of attack at the troop level was obviously not taken seriously by the "Storm" rocket launcher. The nine rocket launchers who had once again moved their positions aimed at the gun coordinate area sent by the 10th Division.

In front of the southern end position of Wuguiling, the 9th Company of the 28th Regiment of the 10th Division, the 116th Division was like crazy and invested a whole infantry brigade, with an astonishing 1:5.

After half an hour of hard fighting, nearly half of the infantry company suffered casualties, and the entire defense line was already shaky, and it could not even wait for an infantry company to arrive with the emergency support of the 10th Division.

Ge Youcai, the commander of the 10th Division, even had to call Tang Dao again 5 minutes ago, asking him to provide firepower support, even if the 9 guns fired in one round of volleys, 9 shells.

It can be said that a lieutenant general was already so humble that he had to call an army colonel for the sake of the legendary nine shells.

But that's it. The legendary nine cannons were not launched until 5 minutes later.

Because, after a volley of Storm Rocket Launch, even the most skilled gunner will be filled with rockets again, it will take 10 minutes.

Hearing the earth-shaking explosions and the firelights coming from afar, Master Ge's heart that had been hanging around was finally "dead".

Before Tang Dao's artillery fire support was supported, he actually waited for the terrifying 150 heavy artillery shelling of the Japanese army.

What other artillery can be used in this movement besides the 150mm howitzer?

"Tell Zeng Jing that I will send another company to him. If the position is lost, I will take it back. If it cannot be taken back, let him die in Wuguiling, and I will take people to take it away." Ge Youcai roared angrily with gritted teeth.

This time, there is no need to write a story in the newspaper that "Teacher Ge fights against the Japanese invaders shirtlessly", but he really has to do this.
