Chapter 1267: Bazooka

, The fastest update to the latest chapters of the Third Reich!
The development of German military technology has far surpassed this era.
Jets, nuclear submarines, nuclear bombs, these things, Germany has begun to mature, Germany has left other countries far behind, at this time, what kind of weapons Germany needs, is Cyrenk never thought about it?
"Our army needs an anti-tank weapon that can be carried by a single soldier. It is lighter, just like an anti-tank grenade. However, it must be effective. Even if it does not penetrate the front, it must be destroyed from the side. It's better to be farther away." Scherner continued to describe.
It can be said that the armored units of the German army are quite powerful, and the Tiger tanks are sufficient to deal with all threats. However, it is impossible to turn all the units into armored units. The most organized are still motorized infantry divisions and mechanized infantry divisions. Although the infantry division is also equipped with a certain proportion of tanks, the number is also scarce.
On the battlefield, various situations can be encountered. Infantry divisions may also suddenly encounter the opponent's armored units. In infantry divisions, they 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 on the entire European battlefield. It was because the German tank troops were afraid of beating the enemy, and the opponents surrendered one after another. The armored troops were even more vulnerable and never encountered such a situation.
Now it's different.
The Soviet Union recovered from the initial blitzkrieg and started to counterattack gradually. The Soviets' tank troops also began to plan counterattacks. Many times, their own infantry met with the opponent's tanks.
In the hands of infantrymen, there is an urgent need for individual anti-tank weapons, which can be the kind that anyone can carry.
Hearing Scherner's proposal, Cyric knew that of course there were weapons to adapt, but he hadn't planned to use them before.
This weapon, of course, is an individual rocket launcher.
In later generations, the three magic weapons of poor countries, the three weapons of the guerrillas, and various magical titles have given three massively proliferated weapons, namely the AK-47 assault rifle, the RPG-7 rocket launcher and the 107mm rocket launcher, almost any In a war, they will have their appearance.
Among them, assault rifles and rocket launchers are available in Germany, while the rocket launcher, Cyric, seems to have forgotten deliberately, and did not bring it up.
Yes, Cyric actually forgot on purpose, and Cyric had concerns about this.
Germany’s strengths are the tanks. Germany’s biggest advantage is the Tiger and Leopard 3. For the German tanks, the enemy’s anti-tank forces are of course the most feared.
If Cyric mashed the rocket launcher, the principle of this thing is simple. It will spread quickly on the battlefield. In this way, not only the German troops but also the Soviet troops can be equipped. At that time, it will become The nightmare of the German army, especially in street fighting, this thing does not know where it will come out, posing a serious threat to its own tanks.
It was for this reason that Cyric was somewhat resistant in his heart, and he never took this thing out, but now that he heard Schellner's proposal, Cyric found that he seemed to be wrong.
The pace of technology cannot be blocked in this way. There have been such cases in history.
Back then, after the invention of the Maxim heavy machine gun, the terrible firepower became a nightmare for all infantrymen, but it was not easy to carry. After that, technical experts began the development of light machine guns.
In 1901, Italy's Gippi Pellino developed a light machine gun with excellent performance, leading the world.
Unexpectedly, the Italian authorities decided to keep it strictly confidential. In order to avoid leaks, they ordered the production of Pellino machine guns not to be allowed, but ordered a large number of heavy machine guns with inferior performance to the Pellino machine guns from abroad to equip the Italian army.
As a result, in 1916, the Italian army suffered from the lack of light machine guns in the First World War and hurriedly put the Pellino machine gun into the production and equipment army.
At the same time, the Danish artillery captain U-O-H Madsen produced a machine gun that can use ordinary rifle bullets and named it Medellin light machine gun. The machine gun is equipped with a bipod, can shoot against the shoulder, and weighs less than 10 kg. Because the machine gun is very reliable, its caliber and structure can be changed to meet the requirements of different users, so it was a popular item in the arms market at that time.
In order to keep this advanced weapon out of production, it is absolutely a foolish act. I did not expect that I also made such a mistake.
Even if you don't bring it up, won't the rocket launcher come out? of course not!
After all, in history, in 1942, the United States was equipped with a 60mm M1 rocket launcher developed by George Washington University. American soldiers are very similar to a trumpet-shaped musical instrument called "Bazuka"~EbookFREE.me ~ It is called "Bazuka".
In 1943, Germany was also equipped with the "Iron Fist" recoilless rocket launcher. It fires a 150mm super-caliber armor-piercing projectile. It relies on the gunpowder gas pressure formed by the combustion of the propellant charge in the steel launching tube opened at both ends to push the body of the projectile and use the reaction force generated by the gunpowder gas ejected from the back of the tube. Eliminate the recoil of the tube.
Now, it’s been 41 years. Due to the lack of individual anti-tank weapons in the German army, the infantry on the front line had to face the enemy tanks at some point. They could only use anti-tank grenades to solve this problem. Forgive the negligence!
Therefore, Cyric finally stopped hesitating. In this screw car, Cyric said to Speer:
Order our development department to combine our rocket and armor-piercing technology to form a Rocket-propelled armor-piercing projectile. Well, when I go back, I will draw a sketch and develop it according to the sketch."
Speaking of this bazooka, it is a common weapon in later generations, and even small workshops dare to produce it. Now in Germany, the technology of rocket bombs has matured, and the armor-piercing bombs using shaped energy warheads are also mature. The two are combined. That's it.
Within half a month, this weapon can appear on the battlefield.
However, if only these weapons are available, then of course it is not enough. Cyric thought for a while and continued: "At the same time, we can continue to develop a guided-by-wire weapon, called an anti-tank missile."
Germany already has guidance technology, and now it is applied to bombs and 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, then It will greatly improve the anti-tank capability of individual soldiers. Moreover, this technology has an advantage that the enemy cannot imitate.
