My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 541

It is interesting to say the origin of Katyusha. At the beginning, the Soviet Union trained a group of soldiers to operate this weapon. However, due to the high level of confidentiality, the soldiers did not know the name of the weapon at all.

Then they thought of the Soviet pop song "Katyusha" from the "K" on the cannon. The lyrics are about a girl named Katyusha whose lover left her hometown and her side. , went to the battlefield to defend the frontier story, the whole song is expressing Katyusha's thoughts.

Moreover, Katyusha is also a commonly used name for Soviet girls, so the soldiers affectionately called this artillery "Katyusha". Over time, this name has been passed down.

How powerful is this rocket launcher?His weapon system is a launcher composed of 8 "I"-shaped launch rails, each of which can hold two M-13 132mm rockets up and down.It is especially suitable for combating exposed dense enemy active force gathering places, field fortifications and group tank artillery
Each Katyusha rocket launcher carries 16 rockets at the same time, and can shoot all 10 rockets within 16 seconds, with a maximum range of 8.5 kilometers.

Since the stress effect of high pressure and high acceleration of the rocket fired by the barrel is avoided, the rocket launched by the guide rail can withstand small acceleration when it is launched, and the wall of the rocket can be made thinner, which increases the amount of explosive filling.

Therefore, the power of 132mm rockets is basically equivalent to that of 152mm ordinary artillery shells, which is very suitable for hitting exposed enemy gathering places, field fortifications and group tank artillery.It only takes 5-10 minutes to refill the ammunition after a salvo, which greatly improves the combat efficiency of the battlefield.

And the late Katyusha adopted the American General GMC 6X6 truck chassis, which has better performance than Soviet trucks.A GMC 6-cylinder engine is installed on the truck with a power of 91.5 horsepower, which improves the maneuverability and maximum travel of the rocket launcher, enabling it to run at a maximum speed of 70 kilometers per hour on flat roads.

It can be imagined that a rocket artillery division composed of hundreds of Katyushas can fire nearly 1 rockets in just one minute if they attack enemy targets at the same time.

Those are rockets that are equivalent to 152-caliber howitzers. The dense barrage composed of nearly [-] rockets can all fall on the top of the enemy's head in only a few tens of seconds. No army can resist such a devastating attack of terror.

What "Miss Germany", "American Tiger Girl"... As far as the degree of firepower coverage is concerned, they are all scum in front of the "Northern Girl Katyusha". After seeing the power of the latter, Krupp's Dahanhan estimated that he would hug him at night. sleep with it.

The only shortcoming is its limited range. If the battlefield launch position is not concealed enough or the artillery position is detected, it is extremely easy to be exposed to the firepower of the enemy artillery.Therefore, the rocket artillery units will leave immediately after launching one or two rounds, using the truck's maneuvering advantages to fight and retreat quickly, without giving the opponent a chance to counterattack.

Furthermore, this thing is very professional, and the mud legs who don't know big characters can't play her, and even experienced artillerymen have to go through a long period of training to be proficient in operation.

"It seems that you have to plan a training policy specifically for this weapon..."

Liao Mingyu touched his chin and thought for a moment, then said to the system: "Exchange 24 Katyusha rocket launchers, let's form a rocket artillery regiment first, and then call back a group of artillery for training."

"Ding... BM-13 rocket launcher is exchanged for 1500 points, 132mm rocket launcher is exchanged for 100 points per unit price, and a single rocket carries 16 rockets for the first time. The total exchange price: 74400 points, and the remaining points are 460321."

Good guy, 24 Katyushas actually cost more than 7 yuan, and the 384 rockets cost [-] yuan. Proper ammunition is more expensive than artillery, and this is only the price of basic ammunition.

Liao Mingyu smiled wryly, and he wanted to cry without tears. Just one round of salvo would have to burn tens of thousands. It seems that this thing can't be squandered recklessly.

However, when I think of the scene where the sky and the earth were destroyed like thunder, I seem to feel that all this is not so distressing. It is worth it to let the little devils taste this taste.

Think of the 120st Division of the Volunteer Army, which was equipped with 21 Katyusha rocket launchers. It was on the Bangzi Peninsula that the Yankees cried and called their mothers. A never-ending nightmare.

……

At the same time, thousands of miles away in Singapore, in a milky white European-style western-style building, several old men in long gowns are sitting on chairs. From their cloudy faces, you can vaguely see that something big is about to happen. …

"My lord, the Japanese are now vigorously arresting the rebels from all walks of life. Many people from the Li and Huang families have been arrested, and even the intelligence team is hiding in the east. Just plan to…”

One of the middle-aged people looked anxiously at the old man in the first seat, and his anxiety was evident.

The old man wore a tuft of goatee, and his white hair was completely combed. He looked at least eighty years old.

His eyes were slightly closed, but there was no joy or anger on his thin face, but the constantly beating eyeballs under his eyelids showed that he was not at peace at the moment.

"Master?" Seeing that the other party didn't speak, the middle-aged man asked in a low voice again. When he raised his head, the iconic hooked nose was impressive. It was the extraordinary housekeeper who followed Fang Jingyao at the beginning...Agui .

The old man raised his arm and waved his hand back, and several servants behind him bowed out of the room one after another, and closed the door with great interest.

This old man leaning on the chair with no energy is the previous generation of the Malaysian Fang family... Fang Chong'en.

Agui couldn't help sighing when he looked at the servants with gray hair who were trembling while walking.

In the huge yard, there are only a few old men older than me taking care of the head of the family, which makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Originally, their Fang family was a giant in Singapore. In the business world, they were the ones who called the wind and the rain. Unfortunately, after the arrival of the Japanese, everything came to nothing, and the Wanguan family property became a poison that caused death.

Not only the Fang family, but in the past few years of the Japanese invasion, several major Chinese families in Nanyang have been wiped out. The glory has long since disappeared.

The old man was about to straighten up from the chair with a cane, and the middle-aged man hurriedly came up to support him:
"Master, take care of your body, you'd better lie down."

"It's okay, alas...Agui, I don't know what happened to Jingyao in Myanmar? We still have a lot of boys left." Mr. Fang slowly opened his eyes, and some things gradually aroused in his mind. thoughts.

"Second Young Master is very good now, he has already served as the division chief of staff in the 88th Army of the Expeditionary Army. The general valued him very much. The brothers of our Self-Rescue Army also established a division's military force with the help of that general. Siam slaughtered the Quartet."

Thinking of the current development of the Self-Rescue Army, Agui couldn't help but praised that, although the process was a bit tortuous, the fifty divisions formed by the Self-Rescue Army were not under Fang Jingyao's control, but at least Liao Mingyu had done his best for them. With the help of the latter, this wave of people has long since died in the forests of southern Myanmar.
