Chapter 199: Be a real cannon in the hands of an infantry detachment
As soon as Bai Yi said this, the backbones in the room couldn't help but be stunned, because they never thought that Bai Yi would lead the core of the problem to the anti-tank, and only thought that the infantry fire support that Bai Yi said earlier was just a cover like a simple fire cover, and they didn't think deeply about other aspects. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In fact, it is not to blame these backbones for their shallow thinking, after all, on the land of China, there is no fierce confrontation with armored mechanization like in Europe, and of course, there are no examples of tanks accompanying infantry attacks, which are not uncommon in the War of Resistance against Japan and the War of Liberation.
But the problem is that whether it is the Japanese Douding tank or the American-made M3 tank of the Nationalist Government, at best, they are thin-skinned light tanks, and they do not need special anti-tank weapons at all, a few cluster grenades or an explosive package can be easily solved.
In this regard, Bai Yi did not look down on them, because he knew very well that these "soil" backbones who graduated from domestic universities or were self-taught were just a matter of vision and experience, and had nothing to do with their own academic foundation.
It's just that because of years of war, they can't expand their horizons, if one day, they can get in touch with the real masters and cutting-edge technology in the field of military industry in the world today, I believe that with their ability to study hard, they will definitely burst out of unexpected miracles.
Is this day far away? Bai Yi said that it will not be too far away, because he believes that in a few months, the group of backbones in front of him will complete a lifelong journey to the north, but before that, Bai Yi still needs to weigh and weigh, after all, this is a process of selecting seeds, as for who can germinate, who will die, it is necessary to test with water and soil, and Bai Yi's test field is nothing else, it is the development of a new type of recoilless artillery that is currently unfolding.
"How is it impossible for a mortar to hit a tank?"
Just when everyone gradually accepted Bai Yi's point of view, Feng Chong's words made the atmosphere in the room change abruptly, so that even Bai Yi was a little dumbfounded, yes, mortars can indeed be anti-tank, but that was in his previous life, thanks to the progress in the field of microelectronics, he was able to integrate the terminal sensitive bullet submunitions into the shells of large-caliber mortars.
However, at this moment, electronic technology is still in its infancy, and even more reliable tactical missiles have not yet matured, let alone terminal sensitive bullets, how can mortars have anti-tank effectiveness? So even Bai Yi was very curious, so he motioned for Feng Chong to continue.
Feng Chong was not humble, and after sorting out his thoughts a little, he continued: "I said that mortars can be anti-tank is not without evidence, in the Battle of Xuzhou during the Anti-Japanese War, the army of the Nationalist Government at that time used large-caliber mortars to carry out a fire coverage on the attacking Japanese tanks, and as a result, five tanks, three were completely destroyed, one was injured and could not move, and only one retreated in a hurry, so it is said that mortars can hit tanks if they are used well!" ”
When Feng Chong said this, Bai Yi was drinking water from a water cup, and after listening to it, he almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of water, but fortunately, Bai Yi was determined and endured, but the strange look couldn't be concealed, Feng Chong couldn't help frowning when he saw this, and looked at Bai Yi with some dissatisfaction: "Comrade Bai Yi, what's the matter, did I say it wrong?" ”
"You're right, but think about it, what was the caliber of the mortars used by the Nationalist Government at that time?"
“120mm”
Bai Yi continued to ask. "What is the combat mass?"
Feng Chong replied without hesitation: "232 kilograms." ”
"How many people do I need to operate?" Bai Yi asked again.
"Fifteen." Feng Chong was as crisp as ever.
"The weight of 232 kilograms and the establishment of 18 people, not counting the corresponding artillery base, but this establishment alone is already beyond the bearing capacity of an infantry detachment!"
Bai Yi said and wrote a few big words "infantry detachment" on the blackboard, and then clicked a few times next to these words with chalk: "I just said for a long time, what is the recoilless artillery we developed is mainly used for?" The fire support of an infantry detachment, for an infantry detachment at the level of a company and platoon, must require light, simple equipment and a small number of occupancy.
The main reason why I don't take mortars into account is that the mortars are so large that even a small 60mm mortar has to occupy a three-person establishment, not to mention that the operation of the mortar requires more specialized technical knowledge, while what the infantry needs is a fire strike effect that can be seen immediately with a pull of the trigger.
Of course, you may say, Comrade Bai Yi, you are off topic, aren't we talking about anti-tank, then let's talk about anti-tank, mortars"
You must know that what can sit here is not the technical backbone of a large military factory, or the top students of a certain university, all in all, all of them are the elite of the elite, and they are all in charge of their own units.
Take Feng Chong, who asked the question, as an example, graduated from Zhonghai Fu University, was a top student in the Department of Mathematics during the school, and at the same time taught himself applied chemistry, and was assigned to the Shencheng Military Factory.
At the outbreak of the Korean War, he was ordered to set up a mortar research team, using his super mathematical knowledge and applied chemical theory to solve the applied mechanical principles and explosive raw material ratio of a series of mortars, which greatly simplified the production process of mortars and improved production efficiency, thereby increasing the output of mortars in the Shencheng Military Factory by 20%, for which he was also commended by the Northeast Bureau and the Volunteer Army Headquarters.
And the technical backbone in the room is not only Feng Chong alone, almost all of them are everywhere, there is a wise saying in the scientific community, that is, doubt the truth, these backbones who are excellent in character and rigorous and realistic, but this sentence is regarded as a lifelong motto, so the sense of doubt is simply bursting, unless it is a senior leader, otherwise even the authoritative experts who have returned from overseas face them, they have a little headache.
Bai Yi is neither a senior leader, nor an authoritative expert, and his academic qualifications are even more scum, but he doesn't have a headache in the face of these backbones, no way, his real soul is an old monster with rich experience in the next 70 years, so he smiled slightly, and asked Feng Chong rhetorically: "Do you think mortars can be anti-tank?" ”
