Chapter 472 Individual Anti-Tank Bazooka
Once the tarpaulin was lifted, rectangular wooden boxes appeared.
Wang Meng ordered the soldiers to take down a box and open it quickly.
"This is our latest individual anti-tank rocket launcher, with armor-piercing power. You can use this to hit the sides and buttocks of Tiger tanks, and you can hit them with one shot!"
Wang Meng was not bragging, this was something he copied based on the PF89 rocket launcher.
Ever since his Tiger tanks and Type 5 tanks wreaked havoc on the battlefield, he knew that these things were extremely powerful.
What if the Japanese or other enemies are equipped with such advanced weapons one day, what will he do to deal with it?
You can't just mobilize one of your own tanks to reinforce an enemy tank when you see one, right?
Therefore, it is necessary to develop a rocket, and it is a rocket specifically designed to attack tanks.
So, he asked the talented Lin Shubing to help, and based on his memories, he drew a simple 90mm individual anti-tank rocket launcher developed by the Jiangbei Machinery Factory in 80, model PF89.
This rocket launcher is 900 mm long, weighs 1.86 kg, weighs 1.84 kg, has an effective range of 230 meters, a maximum range of 400 meters, and an armor-piercing power of 180 mm/65 degrees.
It is light in weight, can be carried by a single soldier, and does not take up space in the army. Moreover, with its armor-piercing power, it can destroy tanks of this era without making a sound.
The Type 89 is so easy to use that there is no need to even provide an instruction manual.
When shooting, tear off the front cover, ignore the rear cover, pull open the grip, remove the safety and you can fire. The sight is a measurement and aiming type, and aiming is completed by measuring the distance.
The wind deviation of 3-4 meters per second can be ignored, and you can hit whatever you point at within 200 meters.
However, it produces smoke during the day and light at night when shooting, and the tail spray has a large safety distance, making it unsuitable for firing in a small space in urban warfare.
Therefore, Wang Meng distributed these rocket launchers to the soldiers of the armored reconnaissance battalion, and after they were done firing, they got on the armored vehicles and ran away!
The rocket launchers were distributed, with each reconnaissance battalion receiving about 300. After a brief instruction, they began to attack in platoons.
At this time, the vanguards of the Japanese 4th Tank Division and the 5th Tank Division had arrived in Fengzhen under the cover of aircraft.
Lieutenant General Koji Okita, the commander of the two tank divisions, felt uneasy when he saw the deserted position.
As a senior officer who had studied at the German Imperial Army University, he learned German rigor.
"Launch a round of artillery fire on the front position!"
Dozens of tanks lined up in a row began to fire in turns. After discovering that there was indeed no ambush, Koji Okita was still worried.
He ordered the bombers in the sky to carry out another round of bombing.
After repeated confirmation, Cairan ordered the Tiger tanks to cross the trench and advance towards Datong!
As luck would have it, two anti-tank mines that were not detonated by artillery and bombing exploded with two loud bangs, causing the two Tiger tanks to break down.
Koji Okita angrily punched the command tank armor!
"Baga, order the engineering corps to clear the mines!"
Koji Okita's heart was bleeding, this was a tank that the empire had bought with looted gold and steel! After each training session, Koji Okita ordered all the soldiers to clean the tanks until they were shiny, even the sand in the tracks had to be cleaned up.
As for the tank tracks being blown off, that is even more unacceptable! In short, these tanks are very valuable and there can be no mistakes!
But just as the infantry began to clear the mines, the sound of bullets was heard. The Japanese engineers were shot in the head one by one, and their skulls exploded like watermelons.
If you ask who did this, who else could it be? Of course it was the sniper from the Independent Column!
Their new sniper rifles were all equipped with silencers, and the Japanese searched for a long time but found no trace.
Even though the Japanese engineers were extremely unwilling, they still crawled on the ground like a maggot, slowly approaching the position and getting closer to the target.
But every time, when he touched the landmine, it was as if he was possessed, and he would be shot in the head without exception.
After several cycles, the ground was filled with white brains.
Koji Okita was going crazy. If he continued like this, even if he had thousands of engineers, they would not be enough for him to kill!
Okay, you are awesome!
Our tanks are valuable, but our infantrymen are not valuable!
Koji Okita ordered the infantry in the rear to come to the front, bypass the position, and begin searching forward to find the snipers of the independent column and protect their engineers in clearing mines.
At this time, before their infantry began to search, the snipers had completed their mission and began to retreat.
And those who replaced them were a dozen soldiers armed with individual anti-tank rocket launchers!
"Check the watch now. It's 8:10. Launch at 8:20 sharp. Run away after you're done!"
"Yes!"
Each bazooka team consists of two soldiers and an officer. The officer is responsible for giving the order to shoot, and every two soldiers aim at a tank.
Under the cover of the jungle outside Fengzhen, the rocket launcher team slowly approached to within 200 meters of the Japanese tanks.
"Not bad, Jingfeng!"
The officer in charge looked at his watch, and when the minute hand reached ten, he gave the order:
"emission!"
Ten rockets flew out from the woods on both wings, eight of which hit the target, destroying five tanks!
Although the huge noise and smoke exposed the rocket launcher team, they dropped the rocket launchers and ran away, quickly reaching the armored vehicles deep in the woods, and no one was hit by the sister-in-law's machine guns and artillery shells.
When Koji Okita looked at the Tiger tank that was burning fiercely, his eyes turned dark and his blood pressure rose a little!
That's five Tiger tanks! How many rice balls would the residents of the main island have to save to be able to afford them!
If Li Yunlong and Wang Meng knew what was going on in Koji Okita's mind, they would definitely scold him.
He shouldn't think about how many rice balls he has to save to afford it, but how much food and land he has to steal from China!
Koji Okita didn't understand what kind of weapon could make this huge thing weighing dozens of tons burst into flames?
"search!"
The Japanese soldiers began to search the jungles on both sides, but when they picked up the rocket launcher, they regretted it, because the moment they picked it up, they saw white smoke coming out of the booby trap below.
A few bangs.
Another dozen Japanese soldiers went into the space, and Koji Okita only got the fragments of the launcher. He looked at them for a long time but couldn't figure out what they were.
All we can conclude is that this is a single-soldier anti-tank weapon, and it is so powerful that it can penetrate the side armor of a Tiger tank!
"Orders: All infantry must be on guard 200 meters away from the flank of the tank group and clear out any suspicious targets!"
If you can't afford to offend, can you still afford to hide?
But the issuance of this order left the infantry dumbfounded.
Aren't tanks supposed to protect infantry? How come after all this time, they got lost?
