The entrance to the First Army Headquarters compound.
Chief of Staff Hanatani Masaru and Deputy Chief of Staff Masao Miyazaki walked in hand in hand, carrying major general swords.
As soon as they entered the yard, Hanatani Masaru and Miyazaki Masao saw the special agent team unloading ammunition boxes from a truck, and the entire headquarters was under martial law, looking extremely mysterious.
Just in time, Yoshio Iwamatsu came out of the headquarters office with a lieutenant general's sword on his shoulder, followed by a paralyzed Kazuki Yamamoto.
"Your Majesty Commander, this is..."
Hanatani was stunned, and quickly walked to Iwamatsu Yoshio and asked.
He and Masao Miyazaki had just finished lunch when Yoshio Iwamatsu called him over and said he wanted to take a look at the secret weapon.
Iwamatsu Yoshio smiled slightly: "Kanatani-kun, the Ordnance Department's anti-tank weapons imitated by the Eighth Route Army have arrived. I specially asked you to come with Miyazaki-kun to observe them."
"oh?"
Hua Guzheng's eyes lit up slightly.
Miyazaki Masao's eyes suddenly lit up.
In the Battle of Baozi Mountain, Masao Miyazaki's 3rd Brigade was severely beaten by a battalion of the New Regiment.
What impressed Masao Miyazaki deeply, apart from the tunnel and anti-slope tactics used by the Eighth Route Army, was this anti-tank weapon.
At that time, the infantry attack of the 3rd Brigade was not going well, so Miyazaki Masao sent his tank brigade, a total of more than 10 tanks, to attack the Baozishan position.
Masao Miyazaki had great expectations for those more than 10 tanks.
After all, judging from previous experience in critical battles, those 10 or so tanks will definitely be able to break through the Chinese army's positions.
But what happened was counterproductive. The more than 10 tanks were all destroyed in just one encounter, without even a chance to escape.
What destroyed more than 10 tanks was the Eighth Route Army's anti-tank weapon that looked like a loudspeaker.
Now that the Locust Army is about to possess this powerful anti-tank weapon, how can Masao Miyazaki not be excited?
According to intelligence, the weapon of the Eighth Route Army is called a bazooka rocket launcher.
Nowadays, many Eighth Route Army troops in southeastern Shanxi are also equipped with bazooka rocket launchers, so the Japanese intelligence department can easily get the names of the Eighth Route Army's anti-tank weapons.
"Yoshi."
Masao Miyazaki sounded excited:
"Your Majesty Commander, please quickly order the weapons box to be opened. I can't wait to test fire it."
Yoshio Iwamatsu smiled slightly and turned to Kazuki Yamamoto and nodded. Yamamoto Kazuki understood instantly and immediately ordered: "Open the weapon box!"
"Hi!"
The two special agents nodded, then took out two crowbars and went to pry the long weapon box.
Yoshio Iwamatsu and Kazuki Yamamoto stepped forward to watch. Masao Hanatani and Masao Miyazaki also hurriedly stepped forward.
However, the moment the weapon box cover was opened by the crowbar, the smiles on the faces of Yoshio Iwamatsu, Masao Hanatani and Masao Miyazaki suddenly froze!
And Yamamoto Kazuki's already paralyzed face became even more ugly.
Even the dozens of surrounding agents fell into a daze as they looked at the anti-tank weapons lying in the weapon boxes.
I saw that the anti-tank weapons in the weapons box were completely different from the anti-tank rocket launchers captured from the Eighth Route Army. There was absolutely no similarity whatsoever.
The anti-tank weapon of the Eighth Route Army was a long barrel, with a trigger and a grip stabilizer.
The anti-tank weapon in front of me only has a metal shell with a large horn. In the front of the metal shell, there are three protrusions, and behind it is a long wooden pole.
Masao Miyazaki sounded puzzled: "Could it be that officials from the Ordnance Department of the base camp sent the wrong goods to our First Army?"
"Probably not?"
Hua Guzheng shook his head, but his tone was a little unconfident.
Yamamoto Kazuki's eyes were gloomy, he walked forward quickly, rummaged through the weapon box, and finally found an instruction manual.
When he went to the airport to transport goods before, Kazuki Yamamoto discovered some problems.
There are only 100 boxes in total, and the Eighth Route Army's bazooka anti-tank rocket launchers, rocket launchers and rocket launchers are packed separately.
When he was at the airport, Yamamoto Kazuki naively thought that the rocket launchers and rocket grenades sent by the Ordnance Department were packed together.
"Type IV anti-tank mine?"
Yamamoto Kazuki's mouth twitched, and he took the manual and read it.
Soon, Kazuki Yamamoto had read through the entire manual.
This four-type anti-tank mine mainly consists of a hollow conical metal container, three thrusters, explosives, safety pins, firing pins and a wooden stick to hold.
The hollow conical metal container serves as a guiding mechanism for explosives and jets after explosion. It is made of metal and will break into a jet of metal fragments after the explosion.
The jet is guided to the tank body through the horn-shaped casing to create a killing effect.
There are three nails with a length of 150 mm equidistantly designed on the front end of the hollow conical metal container. One of the functions of these three nails is to keep the optimal distance between the explosion and the tank armor, so that the energy generated by the explosion can be used to the maximum extent on the tank armor.
superior.
A large number of conical charges are installed inside the hollow conical metal container, with a charge capacity of approximately 4.5kg of TNT high explosive.
When in use, throw it like a javelin and let the anti-tank grenade hit the tank armor to explode.
Note: If it detonates in advance without touching the armor, or the impact of the throw is not strong enough to detonate, the soldier can use it to sprint towards the enemy tank.
Yamamoto Kazuki resisted the urge to tear up the manual, quickly came to Iwamatsu Yoshio, and handed the manual to Iwamatsu Yoshio.
Yoshio Iwamatsu took it and looked at it.
"idiot!"
"What the hell is this!"
Yoshio Iwamatsu also quickly read the anti-tank mine-piercing manual in his hand, but he tore it into pieces on the spot.
Masao Hanatani and Masao Miyazaki quickly ordered other agents to open all the weapon boxes on the ground.
As expected, all the weapons in the weapon box are Type IV anti-tank mines.
After reading the instructions, Hanatani Masaru and Miyazaki Masao were completely dumbfounded.
The Eighth Route Army's anti-tank weapon is a rocket launcher. The rocket is propelled by gunpowder and has an effective range of more than 300 meters.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! According to the instructions, this anti-tank piercing mine has to be thrown, and the effective range is... 20 meters? 15 meters?
The effective range depends on the arm strength of the soldier using it.
Kazuki Yamamoto could no longer hold back at this time and directly complained: "Those old, rigid-minded ordnance officials in the Ordnance Department can't imitate ready-made rocket launchers and rocket grenades. They are a bunch of waste!"
"What our soldiers need are rockets and rocket launchers, not this bullshit thorn mine!"
"My special forces fought hard to steal rocket launchers and rocket grenades. Is this what the Ordnance Department built?"
"Those ordnance officers should all have their belly disemboweled to thank the locusts!"
In fact, after the Ordnance Department of the Japanese Army Base Camp obtained the rocket launchers and rocket grenades from the Yamamoto Special Forces, a special team was set up to begin research.
It's just a pity that this rocket launcher is a super bazooka, which is much more advanced than the bazooka used by the US military during World War II.
The Japanese Ordnance Department could not even study the first-generation bazooka captured from the US military, let alone the super bazooka during the Korean War.
at present.
The Japanese army has already imitated the rocket launcher, but because the Japanese army's ordnance special team could not figure out how to launch the gunpowder, the rockets were not accurate and the range was extremely low. It was entirely up to God where they could hit.
In addition, the North China Front Army is pressed hard here and is in urgent need of a powerful anti-tank weapon to deal with the heavy tanks of the Eighth Route Army.
Although the Eighth Route Army is only equipped with medium-sized tanks, compared with the Little Devil's Doudin tank, it can be regarded as a heavy tank.
Moreover, the Japanese army also called these medium tanks heavy tanks.
Except for aircraft and guns with a caliber of 105 mm or above, the Japanese anti-tank rapid-fire guns and tanks could not threaten the tanks of the Eighth Route Army at all.
Therefore, the Japanese Ordnance Department transported the newly developed sting mine by plane.
According to officials from the Japanese Ordnance Department, this fourth-type anti-tank mine is extremely powerful, with an armor-piercing power of up to 150mm, which can completely kill the tanks of the Eighth Route Army.
"Your Excellency, Commander."
Chief of Staff Hanatani Masaru said in a deep voice:
"Anti-tank weapons are better than nothing. Since the Ordnance Department officials sent these anti-tank weapons, they have their own reasons."
After a while, Yoshio Iwamatsu suppressed the dirty words in his heart.
Iwamatsu Yoshio said coldly: "Kanatani-kun, send the order, gather soldiers to form an anti-tank death squad, and train day and night to use four-type anti-tank mines."
If you don't send bazookas and rockets to the local ordnance department.
When officials from the Ordnance Department sent these thorn mines, Yoshio Iwamatsu and Kazuki Yamamoto's reaction was not so great.
How great is the expectation, how great is the disappointment.
"Hi!"
Hua Gu was suddenly lowering his head.
…
As soon as the Japanese anti-tank weapons arrived in Taiyuan, Li Yunlong, who was far away in Zhaojiayu, northwest Shanxi, received intelligence materials sent by Boss Chen.
"Type IV anti-tank mine?"
"Also called Taijun Happy Stick?"
Looking at the information sent by Boss Chen in their hands, Li Yunlong and Xing Zhiguo suddenly fell into deep thought.
This alias was naturally added by Chen Feng to the system. In addition to the name and performance, it also came with detailed data and pictures of the four-type anti-tank mine.
"I thought the Japanese also had bazookas, but this is what happened?"
After reading the information, Captain Li said in a disdainful tone:
"What's the difference between these four types of anti-tank mines and using explosives as a suicide bomb?"
"Captain, there is still a difference." Xing Zhiguo smiled slightly, "This stinging thunder can be thrown. Although the intelligence data says that the explosion rate of throwing it is relatively low, the nickname is quite interesting, Taijun Happy Stick."
"interesting."
Li Yunlong nodded, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Seeing that this Type 4 anti-tank missile was unremarkable and even had some crotch pulls, Li Yunlong stopped paying much attention and continued to stare at the map.
"Captain, Boss Chen also sent us a song, saying it is the song for our new regiment, and its name is Chinese Military Soul." Deputy Commander Xing reported to Li Yunlong.
Boss Chen didn't come today, so Yan Shuangying was hosted by Xing Zhiguo.
"Oh?" Li Yunlong suddenly became interested and asked hurriedly: "Where is the song?"
"Here it is."
Xing Zhiguo handed the paper with the score and lyrics to Li Yunlong.
"If the motherland is invaded, passionate men should strengthen themselves..."
Although he couldn't read the score, after reading the lyrics, Li Yunlong felt goosebumps all over his body, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
Li Yunlong looked at Xing Zhiguo and said loudly: "Deputy Commander Xing, please find someone who knows the music immediately. These lyrics have been written into my heart."
