Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 107: Firepower (End)

Someone asked why Xu Jun didn’t think of equipping the Germans with anti-tank rocket launchers. Even if they didn’t engage in the American “Bazooka”, it would not be difficult to build some “tank killers” developed by Germany themselves. This is true. Xu Jun has the drawings of these two anti-tank rocket launchers. With the production technology currently mastered by Germany, it is not difficult to manufacture these weapons.

In fact, Xu Jun has given up this weapon, and may come up with blueprints as a technical reserve, but he will definitely not let the Germans equip them. You are right, Xu Jun regards these two anti-tank rocket launchers as chicken ribs, and it is a pity that they are tasteless.

In history, before the m1 "Bazooka" rocket launcher was put into actual combat, high-level US generals had high hopes. They hoped that American soldiers could use this weapon to contain the armored edge of Nazi Germany. But in actual use, the performance of this thing can be said to be mixed.

This rocket can penetrate seventy-five millimeters or three inches of steel plate. Although the maximum range reaches 300 yards (about 230 meters), it is difficult to hit long-distance targets in actual combat. , US military officers are forced to require soldiers to use this weapon within 30 meters as much as possible. Even so, there is a high probability that they will miss the target.

It can penetrate most of the armor shells of German tanks, but it is not enough to see when encountering "tigers" or "black panthers". No matter how many "Bazukas" are fired by desperate US soldiers, they can only The tiger and leopard's heavy front armor left individual burnt marks.

Compared with the powerful German iron fists and armored killers, Bazuka's armor-piercing ability can only be classified as second-rate. In the history of the Korean War, when the US army carrying the m1 "Bazuka" faced the Soviet-made t34/85 equipped by the North Korean army, they found that they had almost no resistance to this Soviet tank. In the end, the US military took out the 88.9mm m20 "Super Bazooka" developed in four or five years, and finally suppressed the North Korean tank attack.

This m20 rocket launcher is actually the American version of the German "Tank Killer". It didn't start small-scale mass production until 48. It was only because the American soldiers thought it was too bulky, so there has been no large-scale attached force. .

In the opinion of the German head of state, these rocket launchers do not have any advantages compared with the improved "Iron Fist".

The effective range of the "Tekken" evolved version even exceeds that of the "Bazuka" and "Tank Killer". In fact, the effective range of the Tekken calibration has always been calculated based on half of the maximum range, "Iron Fist" 100 and 1 The maximum range of Hundred and Fifty exceeded 300 meters, so that in history, the German army also developed special prefabricated fragment sets for them, and prepared to use them as mortars when necessary.

At the same time, compared to the bulky launch tube of Bazooka, the "Iron Fist" is more convenient for individual soldiers to carry. Moreover, the shooter of the anti-tank bazooka must be professionally trained, otherwise it will be difficult to use it to hit any target. In the history of four or three years in the North African battlefield, a group of American recruits who just got the "Bazuka" fired against a German tank. Hundreds of 60-millimeter rockets were fired, but they did not get a true and credible record. On the contrary, under the muzzle of the German Tiger tank, the North African American army was beaten to a rage.

When the U.S. military really learned how to use this weapon on the battlefield, the war was almost over. As a result, a few years later, the U.S. soldiers rushed towards with the pride of victory in World War II, carrying the 60mm bazooka. North Korea's T34 tank army.

The anti-tank rocket launcher during World War II also made Xu Jun give up, that is, two people must cooperate with the operation when using it. A shooter and a deputy shooter and loader. The former is responsible for aiming and shooting. The person is responsible for loading ammunition and target instructions, and at the same time, after the main shooter is injured or killed, take over the job of the opponent to continue the attack.

The effective range is about the same as the iron fist, but it has to take up two establishments. In Xu Jun's opinion, this is a waste. He might as well give each German soldier an iron fist, thinking of the Soviet Red Army tanks. The hands shivered under the "rugby" rain covering the sky, and the personal taste of the German head of state was greatly satisfied.

In history, the direct descendant of "Iron Fist", rpg, has been passed down for dozens of generations, but "Bazuka" was only killed by the second generation. It is not unreasonable. As a user, the US military knows the defects of this thing best, so No similar anti-tank rocket launchers have been equipped in the army, but instead turned around to make anti-tank missiles with longer range and more accurate shooting.

The m72 is different from Bazooka. It is a single-soldier one-time rocket launcher. In addition to the different launch methods, it is actually the old "iron fist" path.

The armor penetration ability of the German armored killer is only 200mm, but it is quite troublesome to operate and carry, because the propulsion fuel is not burned out after the rocket exits the tube, and the tail tube will emit a long flame, so It is necessary to install a metal baffle to protect the shooter on the launch tube. At the same time, the shooter must wear a special leather fire-resistant vest and a gas mask on his head to avoid damage from flames and toxic gases.

Xu Jun will never let the German army carry this thing on the front line, even if it has amazing power. Similarly, the German army will no longer be equipped with the magnetic anti-tank grenades in history. The guy who invented this thing is simply killing people. It requires the German soldiers to rush to the enemy tank, and then attach the magnet with the grenade to the tank shell, and then pull the fire string on the tail of the grenade. The German soldiers must run ten meters in a delay time of 7.5 seconds. Kill range, otherwise, prepare to bury the target.

There is also the type 41 anti-tank grenade mentioned earlier, which weighs two kilograms and has an armor penetration thickness of only 30 millimeters. Also, due to the angle, the bombing fuze on it cannot be activated normally. No German soldier is willing to use this garbage.

The German head of state is not going to equip his soldiers with any anti-tank grenades. This thing is not as useful as the "foreign minister's special drink" on the Eastern Front. Not to mention that the Germans are not creative. The German army has produced a lot of simple anti-tank weapons in history, such as hand grenades and large incendiary bombs made from portable fuel tanks, and anti-tank mines transformed with artillery warheads. It is the common ied (roadside bomb) in Iraq in later generations.

For the landmines equipped by the German army, Xu Jun has a lot of improvement plans. He has a lot of drawings of various landmines. It turns out that this thing is the most diverse weapon in World War II, and it is only the anti-tank. There are no fewer than fifteen or six types of landmines, with charges ranging from a few kilograms to tens of kilograms. Even the least powerful one is enough to blow a truck into the sky.

Of course, Xu Jun will not miss this weapon, especially when he has determined the German strategy as a defensive counterattack. Landmines are the best weapon to hinder the movement of Soviet troops on the battlefield.

In history, the German army equipped with a wide variety of landmines, which severely dispersed German resources and productivity. Xu Jun was determined to change this chaos. He planned to establish a technical standard for the German landmines. All German landmines must follow Standard manufacturing can not only reduce material consumption and waste, but also liberate more skilled workers.

The German 42 type anti-tank mine is a classic design. Until the 21st century, many countries are still imitating the structure of this mine. Xu Jun didn't plan to make any changes to this kind of anti-tank mine. He threw out the blueprint and put it into mass production.

Except for Type 42, it should now be called Type 40 anti-tank mine. He is not planning to produce similar products of other types, because these types of mines are actually almost the same in power, and a bunch of structures, fuses and charges are completely different. The mines not only artificially increased the workload of the logistics and transportation departments, but also put a lot of pressure on the engineers and soldiers who use these mines.

Even if the anti-tank mine does not completely destroy the enemy's tank, it is enough to cut off the track of the tank. If it is combined with long-range anti-tank fire at this time, it can often wipe out an entire marching convoy.

Land mines are very suitable for making ambush rings, so the weight must be controlled within the range that individual soldiers can carry. In this regard, the 42 type is well designed~ IndoMTL.com~ It weighs 9.5 kilograms, and the shell is still Welded with iron handles, if a special back frame is used, a strong German infantry can carry five 42-type anti-tank mines to march on foot at a time.

The mine contains five kilograms of explosives, which is enough to destroy most of the Soviet tank chassis. At the same time, it also has spare letter tube holes on the side and bottom, which can be installed with a pressure fuze. Once the mine body is moved, it will instantly detonate. This is a gift for enemy engineers and will greatly increase the opponent’s mine clearance. Difficulty. Xu Jun also prepared several special landmines, ready to surprise the Soviet engineers at that time.

The German head of state has broken his mind for his soldiers, so that on the battlefield of the Eastern Front in the future, that tragic history will not be repeated.

ps: I'm caught up anyway, thank you for your support.

Continue to ask for a monthly pass. There are still four days before the end of the month. We need your support.

The infantry anti-tank equipment will be introduced here first. In fact, there are still many weapons and equipment that have not been mentioned. The author plans to launch one by one as the plot unfolds.

As for the heavy equipment of the Army and the equipment of the Air Force and Navy, I will also introduce them in the subsequent chapters.

The next chapter will turn to the plot aspect, so please look forward to it.
