Chapter 857: 105mm Recoilless Gun (Plus Change)
For the American people, this day was a day that shocked them incomparably.
On that very day, two completely different newspapers came into their hands, one of which continued to play up the German threat and claimed that the Germans had sunk an American freighter in the Pacific.
The content of this newspaper is infuriating.
However, another newspaper is revealing the truth, the last time German bombers brazenly attacked the east coast of the United States, causing dozens of casualties, this incident is completely a conspiracy directed and staged by the US government, and their purpose is to get the United States involved in a war that should not exist!
Compared with the conclusion of the last time, the content of this newspaper is very detailed, and the focus of it is a report by the captain of the so-called German bomber at that time, which was replaced by a Boeing bomber!
Moreover, a little later, there was a private radio station that broadcast the captain's statement, and the authenticity of the content cannot be doubted, because this captain is the test pilot of the Boeing Company, the famous flight hero of the entire United States!
The whole United States is shaking violently, and countless people are shouting, demanding a thorough investigation of the truth of the matter!
In particular, several congressmen from the opposition parties have specially formed an investigation group to investigate this matter clearly, and if there is really any ulterior motive, Roosevelt's downfall is predictable.
The U.S. government has suffered a huge crisis of confidence.
And here, Reinhardt, who personally directed the crisis, is reporting to Ciric that Boeing is really a huge breakthrough, and they will soon have the progress they have now!
"Roosevelt, he died by himself." Ciric said: "He is too naïve, no secret can become a secret, there will always be a day when it will come to light, a president like Roosevelt is incompetent, and he should have stepped down a long time ago!" ”
It is undeniable that in World War II, the persistence of the three giants was also a reason for Germany's final defeat, and without Roosevelt, no one knows what the direction of World War II would have looked like, in short, it would definitely be in favor of Germany.
Since it is beneficial to Germany, then you have to work hard.
After acknowledging Reinhardt's actions, Ciric went to a branch of the Krupp company outside Berlin, where recoilless guns were developed and produced.
In previous wars, recoilless guns were mainly used to equip paratroopers, were relatively lightweight, and had decent anti-armor capabilities, but then Ciric gave instructions.
The development of a recoilless gun with a larger caliber has become the standard equipment of the ground forces, mainly used in anti-armor operations!
No matter how Germany expanded its tank forces, its congenital shortcomings led to the inability to compare with the Soviet Union, which was quite powerful in tank tactics, and ordinary German troops also had anti-tank weapons.
In addition to the current 75-mm anti-tank guns, recoilless guns are definitely a good option.
Due to the lack of recoil, it is quite light to use, and at the same time, it can also be placed on ordinary cars, such as barrel cars, such as captured American jeeps, and hit and run.
The only downside is that the exhaust smoke is easy to expose itself, but when combined with the vehicle, it is much easier.
The previous 75 mm gun, with its light weight, could be carried by paratroopers, but it was lacking in power and could not cope with future threats, compared to the caliber of 1o5 mm, it was more suitable.
Therefore, under the instructions of Ciric, the recoilless gun directly crossed the caliber of 88 mm and spread to the caliber of 1o5 mm, and now, this recoilless gun has matured.
"Compared with armor-piercing shells, our kind of artillery mainly uses armor-piercing shells." Klaude, an engineer from Krupp, introduced Krupp to Ciric.
The principle is different, the armor-piercing bullet mainly relies on hard hitting, while the armor-piercing bullet relies on the metal jet.
(I won't talk about the details, so I don't have to say a lot of words.) )
As he spoke, he came to the shooting range outside, and Ciric saw a recoilless gun on the ground propped up with a tripod, which looked pretty good.
And a kilometer away, a British heavy infantry tank, which was quietly staying in front, served as a target.
Ciric put on the earmuffs handed by his assistant and watched from afar.
"Boom!"
The moment the fire was fired, the blazing flames erupted in large quantities from behind, and in an instant, the scene was quite spectacular, and if you were far away, you would think that you had been shot here!
With the firing fired, the shell flew forward, which was not high at first, and it took about three seconds or more to fly to the target tank.
No one can see the process clearly, only the high camera can capture the picture, when the warhead and the target contact, squeezed, the fuse touch, followed by a thin metal heat flow, it sprayed out of the invisible metal medicine cover, this heat flow, boiled the armor, successfully drilled in.
"Boom!"
The entire tank exploded and burst into flames.
The British heavy infantry tank, the armor is very thick, it can destroy this tank, and on the battlefield, it can also destroy the heavy tanks of the Soviet Union and the United States!
"We are experimenting with this 1o5 recoilless gun, which has a maximum penetration depth of 18o mm thick, at an angle of 68 degrees, that is, we are capable of dealing with target threats for at least two years." Claude said.
Ciric nodded.
Historically, Germany did not pay much attention to recoilless guns, their production was scarce, and they were only supplied to paratroopers, and when it came to themselves, the situation had to change!
No matter how brave the German tank forces were, there were still infantry divisions, at most mechanized infantry divisions, and this could not be changed.
For infantry divisions, the task of anti-tank was daunting.
"This recoilless gun, let's produce it in large quantities, and those produced in advance will be shipped to Africa and given to Rommel." Ciric said.
Now, there is no war in Europe for the time being, and the situation in Germany on the African battlefield has been reversed, especially after the Italian division was stimulated, and now it is the same as Germany, screaming in the face of the enemy, just waiting for the war!
When he took Alexandria, it was time for him to go to Africa, solemnly award Rommel the honor, and promote Rommel to the rank of marshal!
At this time, Rommel, who was far away in Africa, was also at the peak of his life, and a Middle Eastern empire was beckoning to Rommel.
After a breakthrough on the southern front, the German troops did not slacken, and the main direction of attack was originally the north, but they immediately adjusted the direction, and from the south, a steady stream of troops poured behind the British army.
In order to avoid being besieged, Montgomery had no choice but to order his front-line troops to retreat back to Alexandria, where they would build defensive positions and hold out until reinforcements arrived.
