Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 329

When Zhang Wanhe heard Wang Xuexin's idea, his first reaction was the same as that of the chief of staff, and he asked the same question: "Can this... be done?"

But after thinking about it, Zhang Wanhe nodded slightly and said: "It might be possible, the rocket can spin in the air by itself, and it can fly with anything!"

That's what it says.

The reason why the ghost cannon has a short range is because the barrel has no rifled shells that will not spin in the air.

However, the rocket propeller can spin in the air relying on the thrust of the rocket, so its own stable halo can eventually hit a long range.

"Let's not consider whether we can change it first!" The chief was a little anxious, and he asked a few questions: "Let's figure out a few questions first: Are there any ghost cannon shells in the arsenal? If so, how many? If it can be changed , how long will it take?"

These are the basis for modification. If there are no ghost cannon shells, or the modification is difficult and time-consuming, this plan will be directly rejected.

Zhang Wanhe thought for a while, and then replied: "The ghost cannon shells have been in production all the time, and there are more than 200 rounds at least now! If this can be done, it is not difficult at all, just weld the ghost cannon warheads with the rocket propulsion. It’s done! There are also ready-made rocket propellers, if we seize the time to make adjustments, it can take a few hours at least, or half a day at most, and these more than 200 shells can almost be converted into rockets!"

The chief couldn't help being overjoyed, and immediately ordered: "Then don't think about it! The arsenal temporarily retreats, and immediately try to convert the ghost cannon shells into rocket launcher shells!"

"Yes!" Zhang Wanhe replied, got up and went to make arrangements.

It is not difficult to modify, because the original rocket is produced in two parts and then welded together... The front end is the blasting part, and the rear end is the rocket engine.

Modern rockets are monolithic and streamlined, which reduces friction with the air and increases range.

The Eighth Route Army did not have such advanced technology. They could only make it in the simplest way. They did not expect to produce a universal rocket propeller unintentionally.

At this time, if you want to change the ghost cannon shells into rockets, all you need to do is to weld the ghost cannon warhead to the rocket propeller, and that's it.

If there is any trouble, it is that the calibers of the two are somewhat different. The ghost cannon is 70mm, and the rocket booster is 107mm. .

But this is not too difficult. Welded a circle of beveled iron sheets on the projectile body, and it quickly became a whole. The front is small and the back is big, and it looks a bit like a space rocket.

Then, explosives, propellants, and fuzes were installed, and a modified rocket shell was assembled in less than half an hour.

After a test shot, the "whoosh" sounded so high that it hit 6.5 kilometers.

It is not surprising that this shell can hit farther, because it has a much smaller caliber, less charge and lighter weight, and can obtain a higher muzzle velocity under the same thrust, so it can fly farther.

Needless to say its disadvantages, less charge means less power.

But it can't be helped.

The "ghost cannon" is more used in the hands of the Eighth Route Army to shoot artillery towers.

If this is used in a face-to-face confrontation with the devil's artillery on a regular battlefield... the range of one kilometer is not as good as the mortar in the hands of the devil!

That is basically only for the devils to suppress.

It's not as practical as converting it into a rocket launcher shell.

After the test firing was successful, the chief excitedly ordered the modification at full speed.

More than 200 rockets!
This not only solves the problem of the rocket launcher raiding the airport, but also partially solves the problem that the troops have no guns available.

So the workers in the arsenal immediately put into intense modification work.

Zhang Wanhe only said to Wang Xuexin: "Little Northeast, even though this change can temporarily produce a lot of shells, I'm afraid that in a fight...you have to pay attention to your accuracy again."

Wang Xuexin understood what Zhang Wanhe meant.

The previous rockets did some tests and even experienced actual combat. The artillerymen of Laojiu have mastered some rules of rockets, but now they suddenly changed to this modified artillery shell with different weight and drag coefficient. I'm afraid it will look different again.

But at this time, it is better to use rockets than no rockets.

What's more, veterans like Laojiu are going to fight the airport, and those who use these rockets are novices who have never fought anything. Isn't that the same?
If I knew I should have sold this shell to the Jinsui army, at least it would be more powerful!
Wang Xuexin was a bit regretful, why didn't he think of doing this at the beginning?

After solving the shell problem, other matters were arranged by the chief of staff.

Wang Xuexin couldn't help much, so he hurried back to Zhaojiayu after asking for instructions.

As soon as Wang Xuexin returned to the army, the soldiers surrounded him with a "hula", and one by one rushed forward and said:
"Commander, you're back!"

"I heard that we are going to retreat this time? How can we retreat before the battle has started?"

"We're still doing this in a lot of places, are they all left to the devils?"

……

Deputy company commander Xie Baoqing came up and explained: "Company commander, the regimental commander didn't explain the situation clearly, but only said that they are ready to retreat! The soldiers have been guarding Zhaojiayu for so long, how can they withdraw as soon as they say it?"

As he said that, Xie Baoqing looked towards Ergou's grave behind the village. He had said before that Ergou would watch him beat the devils, but now he retreated, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"Let's put it this way!" Wang Xuexin explained: "All of our fortifications are facing east, such as tunnels, mines, etc. But now...the devils don't attack from this side, they first beat back the Jinsui army and then went around Wouldn’t it be inappropriate to attack from the flank at a bend?”

When Wang Xuexin said this, the soldiers all understood, but they were still unconvinced:

"Company commander, are we going to retreat to the mountains to fight guerrillas?"

"If you keep withdrawing like this, where should you withdraw?"

"It can't be withdrawn like this all the time, can it?"

Hearing these words, Wang Xuexin felt a little strange, shouldn't Li Yunlong explain clearly to the soldiers first?

At least a meeting should be held to clarify the situation!
What Wang Xuexin didn't expect was that although Li Yunlong was preparing to retreat on the surface, he was secretly rushing to organize a special agent team.

In fact, this secret service team Li Yunlong was organizing it before.

But it is more about selection and planning than organization.

And this is still a difficult problem, because the independent regiment at this time only has more than 800 people. If you want to select a 800-strong elite soldier from these 100 people, it is almost like cramping the independent regiment.

But now it's impossible not to organize...

So many bullets, one hundred Jin-made submachine guns!

The army still thinks that the firepower is not enough, where are the weapons for fun?
