Chapter 148 Kasan Rocket Launcher
"Look, the ratio is 63% potassium nitrate, 27% white sugar, and 10% sulfur."
Zhao Tianyang was carefully making rocket propellant in front of a small pot while explaining it to Gong Jiahong in front of him.
"Remember, the formula of this rocket propellant is classified as top secret level 2, and only the factory director can see it normally."
"The people who make the propellants must be strictly screened. It's best to choose those who joined the party early and are tight-lipped!"
"Don't worry, Chief!"
Gong Jiahong patted his chest and promised: "Even if I die, I will not reveal the formula!"
"That's good!"
Zhao Tianyang picked up the pot and said, "Bring the steel pipe over here."
The manufacturing process of this rocket launcher is the same as that of the previous 107 rocket launcher, except that the propellant formula is different, so the process will not be described in detail.
A week later, Zhao Tianyang brought his men to a desolate mountain area.
"Report, military control has been implemented in a 40-kilometer radius!"
A guard regiment, the head of the regiment came over and said.
Zhao Tianyang borrowed this guard regiment from the leader in order to experiment with the newly developed rocket launcher.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Zhao Tianyang nodded and looked at Gong Jiahong: "Let's get started!"
"Yes!"
Gong Jiahong, along with two workers, began to build the rocket launch pad with excitement.
A moment later, a rocket with a caliber of 200 mm, a length of 220 cm, a weight of 200 catties, and a warhead carrying 20 catties of explosives was lifted onto the launch pad.
"10 kilometers ahead, get ready!"
As Gong Jiahong adjusted the launch pad, a group of people hid in the air-raid shelter and lit the fuse.
Soon as the fuse burned out, the rocket launcher placed not far away took off with a loud bang.
"Success!"
“What a loud noise!”
Everyone present started talking about it.
"Oh my god, this is much more spectacular than the 107 rocket launcher!"
Looking at the spectacular tail flame of the rocket launcher, Li Yun sighed.
"One is 107 and the other is 200. The calibers are so different, so it's normal that there's a big difference."
Zhao Tianyang said calmly.
"boom."
As he was speaking, a flash of fire appeared in the distance and a loud explosion was heard.
"Go and see!"
Zhao Tianyang led everyone over.
"The target is offset by 30 meters!"
Gong Jiahong said regretfully.
Zhao Tianyang looked at the big hole created by the explosion and the clay figure that had been used as a target and blown to pieces, and laughed.
"A deviation of 30 meters and a killing radius of 50 to 100 meters, what's the difference between this and no deviation?"
"makes sense!"
Gong Jiahong scratched his head. With the power of the explosion, it would not matter even if it was offset by 50 meters. The killing range was wide enough anyway!
"Oh my God!"
The head of the guard stood up from the big pit caused by the explosion and looked at Zhao Tianyang with surprise.
"No wonder the commander always says that you, Section Chief Zhao, are the top military expert in our Eighth Route Army!"
"This weapon is really powerful! This rocket launcher is conservatively estimated to be able to destroy an entire squadron of Japanese soldiers."
"low profile!"
Zhao Tianyang waved his hand: "Continue testing!"
After several tests, the conclusion was reached quickly.
The error of this new type of rocket launcher can be maintained within 5 meters at ranges of 10 to 30 kilometers.
Over 10 kilometers, the error is within 50 meters.
"acceptable."
Zhao Tianyang put down the record sheet: "I declare that the long-range rocket launcher has been successfully developed."
"Oh, great."
"Section Chief, let's produce this rocket launcher in our artillery factory!"
Gong Jiahong asked expectantly.
"no problem!"
Zhao Tianyang agreed readily.
It is indeed difficult to produce this kind of large rocket launcher in Huangyadong.
"By the way, Captain Wang, please issue a confidentiality agreement. Today's events must be kept confidential."
Zhao Tianyang said to the head of the guard.
"Do not worry."
Captain Wang smiled calmly: "We are the Guard Regiment. Our awareness of confidentiality is unmatched in the entire army. I will go tell them now."
...................
At the same time, during this period, Zhao Tianyang was developing a new type of rocket launcher.
The battle between the Eighth Route Army and the Ma family army intensified and began to get out of control.
"Dad, hurry up and send me some ammunition. Without cannons, I can't take down the Communist bandits' cement bunkers!"
At the Touying Town Command Center, Ma Guojin held the phone and spoke to his father Ma Hongkui.
"No ammunition again?"
Ma Hongkui said bitterly: "Can you be more frugal? We have already replenished our ammunition three times this month!"
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
Ma Guojin said dissatisfiedly: "You are also an old hand, don't you know that the only way to fight the Communist bandits is to rely on heavy firepower?"
"Besides, I've been here for two months and have already conquered Sanhe Town and Touying Town."
"After we capture Pengbao Town ahead, we will be able to see the Communist bandit's headquarters, Guyuan City."
"If you don't give me ammunition, do you want all our previous efforts to go to waste?"
"you......."
Ma Hongkai was completely dumbfounded. This bastard doesn’t even know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are if he doesn’t run the household!
In the past few months, the money he earned from buying ammunition from the Japanese was enough for him to build two more divisions.
"You can't fight if you don't have ammunition?"
"What do your soldiers do for? You let them fight to the death!"
"I'm telling you, this is the last time I'll give you ammunition. You can handle it on your own from now on!"
Looking at the silent phone in his hand, Ma Guojin scratched his head and shouted, "Someone come!"
"Commander-in-Chief!"
A communications soldier came in.
"Go, tell Ma Guangzong and Ma Dunjing that we have run out of shells. Ask them to send someone with explosive packs to blow up the bunker."
"Yes!"
The signalman didn't care how outrageous the order was. After saluting, he left the command center and headed to the front line to inform Ma Guojin of the order.
Ma Guangzong and Ma Dunjing, who received the news quickly, looked at each other in confusion.
"No, big brother, do you think our army is the Communist army? Can we go and scream while using explosive packs to blow up bunkers?"
"How to do?"
Ma Guangzong looked at Ma Dunjing and said, "If I really give this order, my subordinates may mutiny in no time."
"There's no other way. I'll just have to go for it."
Ma Dunjing said helplessly: "We have come this far, we can't just stop fighting without cannons!"
The two men had no choice but to organize a suicide squad and let them carry explosives to blow up the Eighth Route Army’s bunkers.
At the same time, in order to ensure that the troops would not mutiny, the two also gave guarantees to the troops.
As long as we take over Pengbao Town, we will not stop fighting for three days!
The Ma family soldiers were now very excited. They rushed to the battlefield with red eyes, ready to fight to the death with the Eighth Route Army.
