Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

 The time goes back twenty minutes to the headquarters artillery brigade position.

"Huang, I remember you said that the Eighth Route Army does not have a 105 mm barrel gun in its current equipment? So what's going on with these two artillery pieces in front of you?"

 “Among the scientists I know, you are definitely the most cunning one.”

Facing Lao Cui's hot and somewhat complaining gaze, Huang He gave a little embarrassed smile.

 All I can say is, flags cannot be planted randomly in the future. This matter is like a boomerang, sooner or later it will hit me in the head.

 Fortunately, the ally did not continue to complain. He only vented his dissatisfaction slightly, and then turned his attention to M1935B and Schneider M1936.

 For the current European Eastern Front battlefield, this kind of 105 mm caliber artillery is in great need in the north.

　　Although this matter is regarded as Huang He's fault, he has never been a person who will give in verbally. After thinking for a moment, Huang said to his allies:

“I didn’t tell you the truth before because I needed to keep it secret for combat reasons. As a senior commander, you can definitely understand my difficulties.”

“These barrel guns may also be added to the Lend-Lease Act in the future.”

“After our senior leaders reach an agreement, our Eighth Route Army will build a factory in Suiyuan or further north, so that the finished products can be directly sent to your front line via the Siberian Railway.”

In Huanghe’s plan, after the troops completely recapture Suiyuan, they can choose a local location to build a super-large arsenal.

As a well-known name-dropper, he tentatively named the factory as the Ordnance Industry of the Republic of China. It has a Northern Heavy Industry specializing in the production of heavy weapons and a Northern Industrial responsible for external liaison.

As for the factory logo, Mr. Huang has already designed it. Let’s use an exploding North Star.

Presumably, this very large arsenal will definitely become the first manufacturer recognized by the system, providing massive data bonuses to the military factories in Awakening the Brave Tiger.

  ·······

Just as Cui and Huang were arguing, a combat staff officer from the headquarters artillery brigade came to the scene.

“Director Huang, our self-propelled rocket launcher unit is about to go into battle. Commander Zhang asked me to inform you that we can go to the position to record data now.”

As soon as he said these words, Lao Cui once again looked at him like a resentful woman. The scene made the guards on the side get goosebumps.

However, Huang He didn’t explain much this time. Instead, he looked at the other party openly and without any hint of guilt.

  After all, weapons such as self-propelled rocket launchers were still among the world's cutting-edge technologies in 1941. Who would be a good person who would just spend his money doing business?

want to?

Then you need to pay more!

It seems that he saw some deep meaning from Huang He's facial expression. After hearing about the self-propelled rocket launcher unit, Lao Cui did not chatter as before. Instead, he was gearing up to watch the battle.

 Under the **** of the guards, the two people took a car to the rear of the artillery position.

As for the reason why we didn’t go to the observation post, it was simply because we couldn’t see it. A range of more than ten kilometers has exceeded the current optical observation limit of the Eighth Route Army.

The subjective and side views of the forward observation post can be clearly seen. If you are good at mathematics, you can even use coordinate charts and slide rules to triangulate with one hand and direct the artillery group to fire. But the distance between the place and the Japanese was only about three kilometers, so it was obviously not suitable for Huang and Cui to go.

　　After all, one of them has a special status, and each person is very important to the entire TG. If something happens, no one can bear this responsibility. Being able to stroll around in a relatively safe artillery position is the limit.

 Looking at the trucks that were ready, Lao Cui said with emotion:

“Huang, this is your Katyusha, it’s amazing.”

"But you are indeed dishonest. If this matter is investigated seriously by our senior officials, the director of the Second Central Special Design Bureau will probably have to go to the NKVD."

Theoretically speaking, the Red Arrow-2 of the Eighth Route Army is partially related to Katyusha, but the former is a typical representative of a person who is better than his opponent.

However, Lao Cui doesn’t understand these twists and turns.

When the BM-13 launched for the first time, the only senior officials present were Timoshenko, Zhukov and Ustinov, who was still being tortured by preserved fruit in the mountain city.

In other words, this guy has only a superficial understanding of Katyusha through internal intelligence, and has never seen the true appearance of a self-propelled rocket launcher.

Facing the ridicule from his allies, Huanghe retorted sharply:

“The Type 41-2 122mm self-propelled rocket launcher just looks like the BM-13. In terms of the performance and perfection of the weapon alone, our domestic products are definitely far ahead.”

“I am not comfortable disclosing the specific parameters, but I can tell you that its range is a full fifteen kilometers, which is almost twice the range of the Katyusha.”

“In the field of rockets, I dare to say one thing with my chest, that is, our Eighth Route Army has reached the forefront of the world.”

Huang He's eloquent confidence immediately made Lao Cui speechless. Who told him to tell the truth?

The Eighth Route Army's air force is equipped with aviation rockets, and the infantry has extremely incredible individual anti-tank rocket launchers. Coupled with the self-propelled rocket launchers in front of us, it is not far ahead.

 In fact, if you think about it carefully, Lao Cui will find that his former younger brother already has the potential to catch up with him. All he needs now is just time and accumulation.

If we insist on saying that we have any advantages, then the only thing left is the Red Navy, which is invincible in land warfare.

While the two were "quarreling", the portable communicator on the waist of the artillery brigade combat staff officer at the headquarters rang. After a while, this slightly young warrior reported to Huanghehui:

“Director Huang, the battle is about to begin. You and this foreign comrade should get into position quickly.”

Hearing this, Mr. Huang grabbed Lao Cui’s arm and ran to the predetermined location without saying a word. As soon as they arrived at their destination, they heard Captain Zhang's rough voice.

“Full regiment fire! Target No. 173, scale 570, base shot 0-50 to the left!”

 “Ready! Release!”

Suddenly, the strong wind whipped up dust and scattered it into the sky, and the air was filled with suffocating smoke. Looking from a distance, there is nothing on the battlefield except the crimson tail flames.

 The unique scream when a rocket is launched can be heard even from a long distance away.

Compared with the calm headquarters artillery brigade, the expressions of the soldiers in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region can be described as the Terrible Bundle from World of Warships.

After all, this is the first appearance of a self-propelled rocket launcher in North China, and it is also the first time that the Eighth Route Army infantry has cooperated with it. No one knows what kind of sound the gun makes, nor what kind of bombing effect it will have. (End of chapter)
