Chapter 1016 107 Rocket Artillery

The citizens of Qazvin have been moved. After all, this is about to become a battlefield. However, there are still hundreds of young guys who stayed and asked to join the army.

Iran is mountainous, and many people in the mountains are actually still in a state of uncivilized civilization. For example, their daily life is to carry a hunting gun to hunt. Such people are born warriors.

However, it is different in the city. Most of the citizens of Qazvin have become civilized people, and many ancient traditions have been lost. For example, they have long abandoned the hijab and wear it no different from the Western world.

Many young guys like this don't know how to shoot, and they are left entirely with passion. After receiving them, Model did not let them participate in the front-line battle, but let them lead the way.

Yes, they are citizens here, and they are very familiar with the terrain here. In the upcoming street battle, they will play an irreplaceable role.

According to Model's arrangement, it is to destroy a large number of Soviets in street fighting. Even if their tank troops come over, they will be submerged in their own street fighting. The light weapons they hold can hit the side of the tank.

The large number of machine guns equipped in their troops will form a sufficient firepower advantage.

After withdrawing from the valley, Model was about to prepare for street battles, but now, he suddenly proposed to go out for a sneak attack, and the old and heavy-bearing generals present frowned.

The first battle was very successful, and Model also established his own prestige. Under normal circumstances, no one would refute him.

However, it is not easy to make a sneak attack.

The first time, the opponent was caught off guard, but now, the opponent has obviously learned a lesson and has become cautious. For example, although they are temporarily surrounded outside the city, their sentries have also raised their vigilance. If now If they want to make a sneak attack, I am afraid that if they are not close, they will be found by the sentinel, and then they will be killed by the cavalry who swarmed.

Leaving the city to attack outside is not a wise idea, and it will even bring more casualties.

Looking at the expressions of the people around him, Model knew what they were thinking, so he could only explain: "We won't touch the Soviet positions to make a sneak attack, we'll just shoot cold guns from a distance."

Chill out? The Iranians who were present were stunned for a moment, and the staff officers from Germany had already understood what Model meant and smiled.

Infantry divisions must also have sufficient suppressing power, and at the same time, they must be light enough to be able to adapt to the battle of the troops. Therefore, German infantry divisions are equipped with a large number of recoilless guns, which can achieve good suppressing firepower, and also Can hit tanks.

However, it is a direct-aiming weapon. In many cases, due to the limited range of fire, it cannot be effectively deployed. Therefore, the German infantry division, especially the mountain infantry division, also needs another type of weapon.

Rockets!

The principle of barrel artillery determines that their barrels cannot be too thin, otherwise they will explode. At the same time, the movement when launching is still very large, and the rockets fly by their own power, and the barrels only need thin steel plates. Just do it.

Even, in many cases, the rocket can be launched without the barrel, which brings quite good flexibility!

At the same time, the caliber of the rocket launcher is also very critical when it is equipped for infantry. The caliber is too large and it is inconvenient to carry, so it can only be put on the car. If the caliber is too small, the power will be insufficient and the range will be too close.

All kinds of factors must be considered together. Just when the German military experts were arguing about the caliber issue, Cyric quickly made a decision.

107mm! (Introduced earlier in Chapter 308)

From Huaxia in later generations, Cyric certainly remembers a unique rocket launcher suitable for guerrilla warfare in China, that is, the 107 rocket launcher that is famous in the whole world!

This kind of artillery has made the Americans suffer. In Afghanistan and Iraq, this kind of rocket artillery is attacked everywhere, hit and run, and even if the Americans use advanced infantry radar, they cannot effectively find the launcher. .

Even, this thing is not only used to hit the ground, but also to hit the air and sea.

For example, two British "Harrier" fighter jets were attacked by rocket launchers at the US base in Kandahar, southern Afghanistan, one was damaged and the other was injured.

Two large U.S. warships "Ahiran" and "Kisage" moored in the Jordanian port of Acaba were attacked by rockets. The amphibious landing ship "Ahilan" was almost hit, and the rocket passed the bow of the ship, blasting a large hole with a diameter of 2.5 meters in the roof of the warehouse on the dock. The two American ships fled the port immediately.

Later inspections found that the attackers had fired rockets at the U.S. warship from a mountaintop warehouse in a slum area on the outskirts of Aqaba, 8 kilometers away from the port. It was a two-story building. The attackers opened a one-square-meter skylight on the roof of the second floor.

In later generations, AK-47, RPG-7 and 107mm rocket artillery were also called the three magic weapons of guerrillas, and they each had their own division of labor. For targets beyond 300 meters, only the 107mm rocket launcher is simple, practical, cheap and reliable.

Easy to use, stealthy, and lethal. After a year of development, the 107mm rocket launcher was equipped with the German Army. Unfortunately, it was not very good in previous battles.

In an offensive battle, the German tanks completely grabbed the limelight. The infantry divisions only needed to accompany the battle, and no offensive weapons were needed at all. The larger caliber Cyric organ could also provide suppressing firepower. Infantry weapons can only be unknown.

In Iran, in the defensive operations of infantry divisions, this weapon is about to exert greater power!

These rocket launchers were only delivered yesterday, so they did not catch up with the encirclement of the canyon.

In the dark night, the small town of Qazvin was silent.

Two German soldiers, gently pushing what looked like a small cart, moved along the street, and in front of them, an Iranian youth was leading the way.

This trolley has two tires on both sides, and the cargo in the middle is a twelve-pipe device. The pipes are less than one meter long, and the entire trolley is only more than two meters long.

If you look at it from a distance, it is no different from an ordinary farm implement.

Behind them, there are several tall warriors with ammunition boxes on their shoulders. They are a rocket launcher. The squad leader Kahn is personally pushing the cart. In his mind, he still thinks about half an hour ago. The received orders, with their own artillery fire, cover the command of the Soviets!
