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

Jet planes, nuclear submarines, nuclear bombs, these things, Germany is beginning to mature, Germany has left other countries far behind, what other weapons does Germany need at such a time, which Shirek never thought of?

"Our troops need a man-portable anti-tank weapon, which is relatively lightweight, like an anti-tank grenade, but it must be effective, even if it can't penetrate the front, it must be able to be destroyed from the side, and it is better to use it at a distance." Schellner continued to describe.

It can be said that the armored forces of the German army are quite powerful, and the Tiger tanks are enough to deal with all threats, but it is impossible to make all the troops into armored units, and the largest number of units are still motorized infantry divisions and mechanized infantry divisions, although these infantry divisions are also equipped with a certain proportion of tanks, the number is also scarce.

And on the battlefield, all kinds of situations can be encountered, and the infantry division may suddenly encounter the opponent's armored forces, and the infantry division can only rely on anti-tank guns to fight, but the number of anti-tank guns is insufficient, after all, they are infantry, not artillery.

In the past, there was no such demand in the entire European theater, that is, the German tank forces were afraid of the enemy, the other side surrendered one after another, and the armored forces were even more vulnerable, and they did not encounter such a situation.

And now it's different.

The Soviets recovered from the initial blitzkrieg and began to counterattack gradually, and the Soviets' tank units began to plan a counterattack.

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

Hearing Schellner's proposal, Ciric knew that of course there were weapons to adapt, but in the past, he had never planned to take them out.

This weapon, of course, is a bazooka.

In later generations, there were three magic weapons of poor countries, three weapons of guerrillas, and various magical titles, which gave three weapons that proliferated in large numbers, namely AK-47 assault rifles, RPG-7 rocket launchers and 107mm rocket launchers, which would have their posture in almost any war.

Among them, assault rifles and rocket launchers, Germany had them, and the bazooka, as if deliberately forgotten, did not bring it up.

Yes, Ciric actually deliberately forgets, and Ciric has concerns about this.

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

If Ciric had tinkered with the bazooka, this thing would have a simple principle, and it would soon spread on the battlefield, so that not only the German troops, but also the Soviet troops could be equipped, and at that time, it would become a nightmare for the German army, especially in street fighting, this thing would not know where it would come out and pose a serious threat to its own tanks.

It was for this reason that Ciric's heart was a little resistant, and he never took this thing out, but now, when he heard Schellner bring it up, Ciric found that he seemed to be wrong.

The pace of technology cannot be stopped in this way, and there are such examples in history.

In those years, after the invention of the Maxim heavy machine gun, that terrible firepower became a nightmare for all infantry, but it was not easy to carry, after which technical experts began to develop light machine guns.

In 1901, the Italian Giberbee Pelino developed a light machine gun with excellent performance, which was a leading position in the world.

However, unexpectedly, the Italian authorities decided to keep it strictly secret, and in order not to leak the news, they even ordered that the production of Pelino machine guns should not be allowed, but a large number of heavy machine guns with inferior performance to the Pelino machine guns were ordered 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 World War I, it hurriedly put the Pelino machine gun into production to equip the army.

At the same time, the Danish artillery captain U-O-Her Madsen created a machine gun that could use ordinary rifle bullets, which was named the Medellin light machine gun. The machine gun was equipped with a bipod and could shoot from the shoulder, with a total weight of less than 10 kg. Because the machine gun was very reliable, the caliber and structure were changeable and could adapt to the requirements of different users, so it was a hot item in the arms market at that time.

For the sake of secrecy, it is an absolute fool's act to keep such an advanced weapon from production, and I did not expect that I would make such a mistake myself.

Even if you don't bring it up yourself, then the bazooka won't be available? Of course not!

After all, in history, in 1942 the United States was equipped with a George? The 60mm M1 rocket launcher developed by the University of Washington was called "bazooka" by US soldiers because it resembled a trumpet-like instrument called "bazooka".

And by 1943, Germany was also equipped with the "Iron Fist" recoilless gun-type rocket launcher. It fires 150 mm super-caliber armor-piercing projectiles, which rely on the gunpowder gas pressure formed by the combustion of the firing charge in the steel launch canister opened at both ends to promote the movement of the projectile body, and use the reaction force generated by the gunpowder gas ejected from the back of the barrel to eliminate the recoil of the canister.

And now, it has been 41 years, and the German army, due to the lack of individual anti-tank weapons, has led to the fact that the infantry at the front line has to face the enemy's tanks at some point, which can only be solved with anti-tank grenades, which is simply an unforgivable negligence of its own!

So, Cirek finally stopped hesitating, and in this screw car, Ciric said to Speer: "Order our research and development department to combine our rocket and armor-piercing technology to form a rocket-propelled armor-piercing projectile." Well, when I go back, I'll draw a sketch and develop it according to the sketch. ”

If you want to talk about this bazooka, it is a common weapon in later generations, and even small workshops dare to produce it, and now in Germany, the technology of rockets has matured, and the armor-piercing projectile using shaped warhead has also matured, and the two can be combined.

In less than half a month, this weapon will be able to appear on the battlefield.

It's just that, if you only have these weapons, of course, it won't be enough, Ciric thought for a while and continued: "At the same time, we can also continue to develop a guided weapon with wire control, which is called an anti-tank missile." ”

Germany already has guidance technology, and now it is applied to bombs, transplanted to anti-tank missiles, there will not be too many problems, after all, this is only the first generation of missile technology, and once this weapon appears, it will greatly improve the anti-tank capabilities of individual soldiers, moreover, this technology has another advantage, the enemy cannot imitate it.
