"Because the Far East Observer Group said that the aiming of Japanese-made grenadiers was difficult, and the hit rate depended on the experience of the shooter, so we fused it with a flare gun to get a 40mm, shoulder-fired weapon, which can be aimed at a 180-meter point target and a 350-meter target with a mechanical sight" Rashid took a 40mm grenade launcher and fiddled: "With this, our soldiers can guide the target with smoke bombs like flare guns, and guide artillery strikes and air strikes. It can also fire anti-personnel grenades to attack enemy soldiers. In addition, it can also fire white phosphorus bombs and armor-piercing shells on a part-time basis. ”

White phosphorus bomb is an extremely dangerous and terrifying incendiary bomb, once it gets on the skin, it is difficult to remove it in time, and the burning temperature is extremely high, and it can even burn into the bone all the time. At the same time, the phosphorus vapor produced by it has secondary injury hazards, which can lead to tracheitis, pneumonia and severe bone damage in a large number of inhalers.

The armor-piercing bullet has an armor-piercing thickness of 50mm, which is generally used to attack light armored vehicles, such as some weakly armored tanks.

The generals and colonels present knew very well that when their army had this kind of multi-purpose weapon, the combat effectiveness in the future would increase exponentially!

Seeing everyone's expectation for the new equipment, Rashid also smiled happily: "In fact, our infantry squad rarely acts alone in actual combat, and basically several squads or platoons cooperate to carry out company-platoon level operations. Therefore, we planned to strengthen a 4-person 40 grenade group in the infantry platoon, two 40 grenade launchers, a team leader and a deputy team leader with 2 MP submachine guns for self-defense, and by the way, some 40mm grenades for the whole group to carry on their backs. Of course, they have special grenade vests, and a vest can be stuffed with a full body of grenades. ”

"But .......," Rashid paused, and finally said bluntly: "Originally, our designers wanted to use high-strength aluminum alloy to make the body barrel and launch shell. However, due to the scarcity of aluminum resources in China, only steel can be used. In this way, the ammunition of the grenade vest plus a launcher is a bit too heavy, and it can only work hard for our soldiers. ”

"Not bad!" Reinhardt also added a sentence in due course: "I hope that the imperial commanders present can seize enough resources for Germany as soon as possible to reduce the burden on the soldiers." ”

After hearing this, the generals fell silent for a while. The Führer's words reminded them once again that Germany was still a small country with poor resources after all, and if it could not work hard, it would only fall behind and perish.

Just when everyone was deep in thought, Reinhardt, who was serious for only three seconds, quickly changed his high-spirited face to a little unsoaked: "I heard that the French have a lot of supplies in stock, let's go back and discuss when to occupy this batch of supplies......

It was obviously a bloody historic war that decided the hegemony of the European continent, but how to say it from Reinhardt's mouth made everyone laugh and cry.

Feelings: The war between us and France's old enemy has become a war for supplies in your mouth?!

In the end, it was Rashid who resolved the awkward atmosphere, changed the topic and explained: "By the way, this 40 grenade launcher can completely change our previous tactics. Make our future combat mode lighter, more flexible, and more precise. This thing is much stronger than the original grenadier of the Japanese army. With it, our bottom combat units have blank-surface fire coverage, from grenades to grenade launchers to mortars. ”

One thing Rashid didn't mention was that the grenade launcher was a mobile and flexible weapon that was also quite useful in street fighting. If nothing else, the fact that it can accurately shoot grenades into buildings is enough to be called a street fighting weapon! Mortars are not easy to do.

Regarding mortars, Rashid also talked about something: "The original 50mm mortars in our army use retractable barrels, the design is complex and large, not to mention the 50mm howitzer is too weak for mortars, and the range is too close, as a support weapon for platoon-level infantry units, 50mm mortars can be completely replaced by 40mm grenade launchers." ”

At this point, everyone has guessed a little about the following content. Sure enough, Rashid was quick to mention: "We plan to downsize some of the original 50mm mortars of each unit and replace them with 50mm grenade launchers to enhance their mobility." The mortars that have been reduced and withdrawn can be equipped with some defense divisions on the border for defensive operations with low mobile requirements. ”

This weapon distribution method is indeed very perfect on paper, and the mortars are not completely replaced, but only partially replaced, so even if there is a problem found in actual combat, it can be adjusted in time.

In addition to the removal of mortars, Rashid also mentioned another point: "Also, we had an anti-tank group in our original establishment whose main weapon was anti-tank guns, using T-type anti-tank guns from the last war. ”

Speaking of which, Rashid made a small joke: "This anti-tank gun, 13 mm caliber, age....... Probably bigger than our soldiers. ”

I have to say that Rashid's joke is not very funny. Except for Reinhardt, who deliberately smirked to cater to him, basically no one else laughed along.

"Laugh! Why don't you laugh?! Finding that he was smirking alone for the sake of the atmosphere, Reinhardt immediately forced a cadre of generals to do stupid things with him: "I laughed, which of you doesn't laugh?" ”

Throwing his arms up, Reinhardt smiled and encouraged, "Come, laugh, laugh." Let's laugh together. ”

In the end, even Rashid, who told a bad joke, couldn't stand it anymore and simply diverted the topic and said, "Ahem........ I think the officers of the armored corps present should clearly know that the future development of tanks will definitely strengthen the armor, and the space for the use of such backward anti-tank guns can be imagined, plus we have long developed a better anti-tank weapon (iron fist bazooka), and tested its reliability with the hands of the Japanese army in the Battle of Nomenkan in the Far East. So we directly planned, to remove this anti-tank group. ”

About the existence of the Iron Fist anti-tank rocket launcher, most of the top generals of the Wehrmacht knew about it.

Previously, the Iron Fist Bazooka had always been a patented weapon of the SS. I didn't expect that the Wehrmacht would be able to use it soon?! And it's a large-scale installation!

"As for the replacement of anti-tank guns," Rashid added in detail, "we will sell them all to friendly countries such as Spain, Italy, Romania, Finland, etc., and at the same time enhance their anti-tank capabilities, and at the same time earn a lot of foreign exchange from 'waste utilization'." ”
