Chapter 170: Liu Haotian's opinion
"It is light in weight, easy to operate, and does not occupy an establishment, and it is indeed in line with our army's characteristics of attaching importance to firepower and mobility! If the power is further increased, the density of one person can indeed increase the firepower of the infantry in attacking fortified positions, especially the various branches of the northern armed forces that are facing the huge flood of armor of the Soviet army, which is of great practical significance!"
After listening to Lu Jiadong's words, as a military commander with rich battlefield experience, Guo Qingshan was very clear about the tactical value of this individual portable bazooka, so he also affirmed it, but Guo Qingshan's face gradually darkened as he spoke:
"However, the tactical application of the bazooka is mainly for individual anti-tank, and occasionally it will hit a solid firepower point, but it seems to have little effect on living targets, especially those hidden in the tunnels! When I was aiding Vietnam, I also used the M72, and it is really good to hit the fixed targets of the US military, but the effect of encountering living targets is not half a star, so"
Guo Qingshan's words were not finished, but everyone present could understand that in fact, Guo Qingshan was right, since the day of the large-scale application of individual rocket launchers in World War II, this simple, effective and powerful weapon and equipment has been given the sacred mission of anti-armor. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]
This is especially true of the Yankuai team, whether it is the old 40-fire Type 56 bazooka, or the current Type 69, they are all born to combat armored targets, and most of the ammunition is also used to combat armored shells, not only that, but in the face of the realistic pressure of the huge armored cluster of the Soviet Union in the north, the density of bazookas equipped with the Yankuai team is also unprecedented.
Taking the Northern Heavy Army as an example, their infantry squad has set up two 40-fire combat groups, and the combat composition of the entire infantry squad is also based on these two 40-fire combat groups as the core, and the outstanding thing is anti-armor combat, and its infantry anti-armor firepower density is definitely one of the best in the world!
However, this kind of weapons and equipment that makes a living from anti-armor and uses it as a whole revolves around this goal, but there is a problem that is not embarrassing or embarrassing, that is, the ability to kill living targets, although there are also some high-explosive bombs. However, it is limited to dealing with surface objectives and providing limited support, and plays a very limited role in the survival objectives of permanent fortifications.
Because of this, when Guo Qingshan finished saying this. Everyone present nodded slightly, and then looked at Lu Jiadong's eyes and became puzzled, Lu Jiadong was naturally very clear about this question, and as a military expert from later generations. He had already figured out a solution in his mind, so Lu Jiadong faced everyone's noncommittal gaze with a confident smile on his face:
"This is back to what Tianming said just now!" Lu Jiadong's words made everyone present stunned, and Guo Qingshan, who was beside him, opened his blazing tiger eyes twice, but Lu Jiadong ignored the reactions of these people, but said lightly in the same tone as always:
"In fact, it's not that Tianming's ideas are biased, but the expression is not very reliable, just before coming to Chief of Staff Guo's house, Tianming and Company Commander Qian also discussed the success or failure of the deduction on the map, among which Tianming said that he could develop a bomb that burns the surrounding air!
The flamethrower is used to burn the surrounding air. In fact, what it expresses is a meaning, that is, can we develop a new type of ammunition that can produce a strong combustion effect and have high temperature and high pressure, so that in the strong combustion of this kind of ammunition, the oxygen in the tunnel will be quickly consumed, and with the high pressure and shock wave and heat flow, the living targets in the entire underground bunker will be wiped out instantly!"
"Jiadong is so right, that's what I meant!" As soon as Lu Jiadong's words fell, Wu Tianming, who was sitting opposite, jumped up excitedly. But before Wu Tianming could bounce up from the chair, Guo Qingshan's resolute and resolute eyes glanced at him, and Wu Tianming saw this, and knew that he was a little too excited. So I couldn't help scratching my head in embarrassment and sat back down.
Guo Qingshan did not accuse Wu Tianming of going too far, but sat up straight, rubbed his forehead with one hand, muttered for a moment, and then said as if talking to himself:
"There is a strong burning effect. and can have new ammunition with high temperature and high pressure!" Speaking of this, Guo Qingshan looked at Lu Jiadong beside him, his eyes revealed a different kind of look, and there was also an imperceptible excitement in his words:
"Xiao Lu, is this new type of ammunition you are talking about, is it a cloud burst bomb?"
Listening to Guo Qingshan's words, Lu Jiadong couldn't help but be secretly surprised, he didn't expect Guo Qingshan to know about the cloud burst bomb, in addition to Lu Jiadong's surprise, the other people present were even more incomprehensible, so that Liu Haotian couldn't help frowning, and asked Guo Qingshan quite puzzled:
"Lao Guo, what is a cloud burst bomb, could it be that you have seen it?"
"I haven't seen it either!" Looking at the surprised or incomprehensible expressions around him, Guo Qingshan's face showed a faint smile, and his tone became extremely frank:
"It's just that in 75 years, we received a report on the war situation of Vietnam being attacked by the US military, there was an account of this, and the report was written in a more general way, saying that this is a new weapon of the US military, which can make the air burn, and can form high temperature and high pressure, at that time we hoped that Vietnam could provide a few unexploded munitions for research, but at that time, these Vietnamese monkeys already had an ungrateful tendency, so they did not provide it to us, but sent it to the Soviet Union!"
As he spoke, Guo Qingshan turned his body to Lu Jiadong's side, and the smile on his face became even more serious: "Just now Xiao Lu mentioned burning air, and high temperature and high pressure, I suddenly remembered this cloud burst bomb, Xiao Lu, am I right?"
"Chief of Staff Guo is right, but it's not right!" Listening to Guo Qingshan's words, Lu Jiadong's answer was also without hesitation, Guo Qingshan, who got this answer, couldn't help but be stunned, but Lu Jiadong didn't stop talking, and continued with a confident smile:
"The power of the cloud burst bomb is indeed not small, but the new ammunition I proposed is an improvement on the basis of this ammunition, and I call this ammunition thermobaric bomb!"
"Thermobaric bombs?"
Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, Lu Jiadong nodded and responded: "Yes!
After all, as a kind of auxiliary ammunition, the thermobaric bomb is only a part of the portable bazooka, and on the whole, this portable bazooka still has to take into account the combat mission of anti-armor.
As a matter of fact, as early as this afternoon, after listening to the dialogue between Wu Tianming and Qian Aimin, Lu Jiadong had the prototype of a thermobaric bomb in his mind, and when he listened to Guo Qingshan's talk about the difficulties encountered on the front line, Lu Jiadong was even more convinced that this thermobaric bomb was the best way to solve the current problems.
It's just that Lu Jiadong didn't think clearly about the launch platform at that time, so he didn't answer rashly when everyone was discussing, and it wasn't until Wu Tianming talked about the 40 fire that Lu Jiadong's sensitive cranial nerves were stimulated, and then the portable individual bazooka combat system gradually took shape in his mind!
"I think that if we want to develop it, the first batch of this portable rocket launcher will be equipped with these two kinds of ammunition, thermobaric bombs to hit living targets in fixed fortifications, and new armor-piercing bombs to carry out anti-armor combat missions, with different tasks and different types of ammunition, so that our army will greatly enhance its selectivity in target strikes, and its mission flexibility will also be greatly improved!"
"This method is really good!" After listening to Lu Jiadong's detailed explanation of the new individual bazooka, Guo Qingshan, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but pat his thigh, and his face was even more irrepressible excited:
"The caliber is increased, easy to carry, ready to use, thrown away after the fight, and with a high-strength thermobaric bomb, haha~~~ Even if the Vietnamese monkey starts to shrink the head of the turtle, even if we use this kind of bomb not to kill him, we can suffocate these monkeys to death!"
"The teacher is so right, with this kind of individual thermobaric bomb, even if the Vietnamese are hidden in the tunnel, we can completely wipe them out!" Guo Qingshan's voice just fell, and Wu Tianming, who was sitting opposite, echoed with a happy smile.
Qian Aimin, who was beside him, couldn't help but nod his head in agreement, but just when everyone thought that this portable bazooka was the best way, Liu Haotian, who was sitting next to Guo Qingshan, wrinkled his slightly gray eyebrows tightly, and then said to Lu Jiadong:
"Xiao Lu, the concept of this portable individual rocket launcher you mentioned is indeed very good, but have you ever thought about the feasibility of realizing it with our current technical level!"
As soon as Liu Haotian's voice fell, Wu Tianming, Qian Aimin and even Guo Qingshan, who had just been overjoyed, couldn't help but stiffen the smiles on their faces, but Liu Haotian didn't stop talking for this, but accelerated his speech and continued:
"To enhance the power, the caliber must be increased; to be easy to carry, easy to operate, the overall quality must be very light, just now Xiao Lu you also said, the overall quality of this individual rocket launcher should not exceed the weight of the 40 fire launcher, you must know that the 40 fire launcher is about 6 kilograms.
This portable bazooka should control the full combat weight below 6 kg, let's not talk about the ammunition, just the launch canister, the overall weight can not exceed 3 kg, such a light mass, high-strength aluminum alloy is obviously impossible to meet the needs, other lightweight materials can be used, whether our current level can keep up.
In addition, this portable rocket launcher is a completely new product in terms of concept, design ideas and ammunition composition, and if such equipment is to be developed, the development cycle will inevitably be very long, and we will not care whether it can catch up with the combat operations of the troops at that time, the risk is also unprecedented, and a bad one may lead to the complete failure of the entire development plan!"
Liu Haotian's words were like a basin of cold water in the cold winter, which was poured on the heads of several people present in an instant, so that the whole room fell into a deep silence again (to be continued). )
