Chapter 1269 Bazooka

The development of German military technology has far surpassed this era.

Jet planes, nuclear submarines, nuclear bombs, these things, Germany has begun to mature, Germany has left other countries far behind, at this time, what kind of weapons does Germany need, Cyric never thought about it?

"Our troops need an anti-tank weapon that can be carried by a single soldier. It is relatively light, like an anti-tank grenade, but it must be effective. Even if it cannot penetrate the front, it must be destroyed from the side. It's better to be farther away." Scherner continued to describe.

It can be said that the armored units of the German army are quite powerful, and the Tiger tanks are sufficient to deal with all threats. However, it is impossible to turn all the troops into armored units. The most prepared are still motorized infantry divisions and mechanized infantry divisions. These Although the infantry divisions are also equipped with a certain proportion of tanks, the number is also rare.

On the battlefield, various situations can be encountered, and the infantry division may suddenly encounter the opponent's armored units. The infantry division can only rely on anti-tank guns to fight. However, the number of anti-tank guns is insufficient. They were infantry after all, not artillery.

In the past, there was no such demand on the entire European battlefield. That is, the German tank troops were afraid of the enemy, and the opponents surrendered one after another. The armored troops were even more vulnerable, and they had never encountered such a situation.

And now it's different.

The Soviet Union has recovered from the initial blitzkrieg and has begun to counterattack gradually. The Soviet tank troops have also begun to plan a counterattack. Many times, their own infantry and the opponent's tanks have encountered each other.

In the hands of the infantry, there is an urgent need for individual anti-tank weapons, which can be of the kind that anyone can carry.

Hearing Scherner's proposal, Cyric knew that of course there were weapons to adapt to, but he never planned to use them before.

This weapon, of course, is the individual rocket launcher.

In later generations, there are the three magic weapons of poor countries, the three weapons of guerrillas, and various magical titles, giving three weapons that have proliferated in large numbers, namely AK-47 assault rifle, RPG-7 rocket launcher and 107mm rocket launcher, almost any In a war, there will be their appearance.

Among them, Germany has both the assault rifle and the rocket launcher, and the rocket launcher, Cyric seems to have forgotten it on purpose and did not bring it up.

Yes, Cyric actually forgot it on purpose, and Cyric had concerns about it.

Germany's strength is the tank force, Germany's biggest advantage is the Tiger and Leopard 3, and for the German tank force, of course, the most afraid of the enemy's anti-tank force.

If Cyric fiddled with the rocket launcher, the principle is simple. On the battlefield, it will soon spread. In this way, not only the German troops, but also the Soviet troops can be equipped. At that time, it will become a A nightmare for the German army, especially in street fighting, where this thing will come out of nowhere and pose a serious threat to your own tanks.

It is for this reason that Cyric resisted a little in his heart and never took out this thing. However, now that he heard Sherner put it up, Cyric realized that he seemed to be wrong.

The pace of technology cannot be stopped in this way. There are such cases in history.

At that time, after the invention of the Maxim heavy machine gun, that terrible firepower became a nightmare for all infantrymen, but it was not easy to carry. After that, technical experts began to develop the light machine gun.

In 1901, Italy's Gibbibi-Pellino developed a light machine gun with excellent performance, which took the lead in the world.

Unexpectedly, the Italian authorities decided to keep it strictly confidential. In order not to leak the news, they ordered the production of Pellino machine guns not allowed, but ordered a large number of heavy machine guns with performance inferior to Pellino machine guns from abroad to equip the Italian army.

As a result, in 1916, after the Italian army suffered from the lack of light machine guns in the First World War, it hurriedly put the Pellino machine gun into production and equipment for the army.

At the same time, the Danish artillery captain U-O-H-Madsen built a machine gun that could use ordinary rifle bullets and named it the Medellin light machine gun. The machine gun is equipped with a bipod for shoulder shooting and weighs less than 10 kg. Due to its very reliable performance and variable caliber and structure to suit different user requirements, the machine gun was a hot commodity in the arms market at that time.

To keep this advanced weapon from being put into production for the sake of secrecy, it is definitely a fool's act. Unexpectedly, I also made such a mistake.

Even if he didn't bring it up, wouldn't the bazooka come out? of course not!

After all, in history, the 60mm M1 rocket launcher developed by George Washington University was equipped in the United States in 1942. US soldiers called it "Bazooka" because it resembled a trumpet-shaped musical instrument called "Bazooka". Bazooka".

By 1943, Germany was also equipped with the "Iron Fist" recoilless rocket launcher. It fires 150mm super-caliber armor-piercing projectiles, relying on the pressure of the gunpowder gas formed by the combustion of the propellant in the steel launch tube opened at both ends, to push the projectile movement, and use the reaction force generated by the gunpowder gas ejected from the rear of the tube, Eliminates the recoil of the barrel.

And now, it has been 41 years, the German army lacks individual anti-tank weapons, and the infantry on the front line has to face enemy tanks at certain times, which can only be solved with anti-tank grenades. Forgive the negligence!

So, Cyric finally no longer hesitated, and in the screw car, Cyric said to Speer: "Order our research and development department to combine our rocket and armor-piercing technology to form a kind of Rocket-propelled armor-piercing projectiles. Well, when I go back, I will draw a sketch and develop it according to the sketch."

To talk about this rocket launcher, it is a common weapon in later generations, and even small workshops dare to produce it, and now in Germany, the technology of rocket launchers has matured, and the armor-piercing projectile using energy-gathering warheads has also matured. The combination of the two That's it.

In less than half a month, this weapon can appear on the battlefield.

However, if there are only these weapons, then of course it is not enough. Cyric thought for a while and continued: "At the same time, we can continue to develop a guided weapon that uses wire control, which is called anti-tank missile."

Germany already has guidance technology, and now it is applied to bombs and transplanted to anti-tank missiles. There will not be too many problems. After all, this is only the first generation of missile technology. It will greatly improve the anti-tank capability of individual soldiers, and this technology has an advantage that the enemy cannot imitate.
