Chapter 1475 MacArthur's new weapon (first update, please subscribe)
Tanks can be penetrated!

Looking at the punctured steel plate, Arthur MacArthur purposely went around behind him, seeing that there were at least 0.7 inches of bullet holes, he said with surprise on his face.

"This is a bullet modified from a 20mm Gatling gun shell."

Looking at the bullet in his hand, MacArthur said.

"Yes, General, but how did you find out?"

Gabriel answered in surprise from the side.

Immediately after he reported "killing" a tank, he became a hero to all, and soon he was in front of the general in San Francisco with his anti-tank gun.

"It's very simple. From the perspective of the size of the shell, only the 20mm Gatling is somewhat similar to it, so it must be made with its necking. Up to now, only 20mm can penetrate the Ming tank. Gatling gun, this type of shell has a higher muzzle velocity. The steel warhead it uses can penetrate a 300mm thick steel plate at 20 yards. However, the Gatling gun is too bulky and too big. Although we can use it to counterattack tanks, it is easy to be destroyed by tanks..."

MacArthur looked at Major Garyble and said,

"Now, your invention fundamentally solves the problem. If it is an anti-tank rifle, our people can use it to counterattack tanks anytime and anywhere."

MacArthur, with a smile on his face, thought for a while and said.

"Maybe we can use 20mm caliber directly. We have a lot of 20mm armor-piercing shells. If we use this kind of shells, we not only have ready-made ammunition, but also ready-made barrels. What do you think?"

"Yes, General, I don't think there is any problem with this. The caliber is bigger, and it is not as simple as a small hole after being hit by it."

Nodding his head, Garybull agreed. As for the incident of recoil force, there is no need to consider it at all, because it is like the Qing Dynasty’s gun, which is installed on the gun rack. If it is not installed on the gun rack If it goes up, then it must only take two shots-one shot in the left shoulder, one shot in the right shoulder, and then go to the field hospital.

Although it looks a bit bulky when mounted on the gun frame, at least the recoil is acceptable.

"Garibur, this invention of yours makes us no longer helpless when facing tanks. With it, we will soon be able to reverse our current disadvantage."

How much change the appearance of the anti-tank rifle can bring to the war, even MacArthur is not very clear, but one thing is certain is that with it, tanks will no longer be able to rampage on the battlefield as in the past.

With anti-tank rifles, the troops finally no longer need to be passively beaten as in the past. Just when MacArthur was full of joy and promoted Gary Bubble to the rank of lieutenant colonel in recognition of his contribution, another piece of good news came—the expectation was over. After a long flight, the air force finally arrived in San Francisco.

For the citizens and city defense forces of San Francisco, February [-], [-] was a pleasant and even memorable day.

On this day, the weather in San Francisco was the same as usual, the sky was clear, and the wind blowing from the Pacific Ocean caressed the city. Of course, the good weather is not the reason for people to feel happy, the most fundamental reason is that people are depressed recently. The haze in my heart will eventually dissipate.

Air Force is here!
On this day, people in San Francisco brought their families and dressed in costumes and came to the airport by the bay. This airport used to be a naval airship field, but now it has become an airport.

Today is the day when the Sixth Air Wing is stationed.

Aviation team!
What they are equipped with is not an airship that will explode in a dozen, but the latest aircraft, which is exactly the same as that of the Ming Empire!

Almost everyone believed that as long as the aviation wing came, they would no longer need to worry about the bombing of the imperial airships all day long as they did in the past.

In fact, until now, the empire’s airships have not bombed here, and even in private, some people believe that the reason why the empire did not bomb San Francisco is because several senior officers in the imperial army once lived in San Francisco. A city is very emotional, that's why they didn't bomb the city.

In fact, they thought too much. The reason why they didn't bomb was because... the number of airships was not enough. Compared with bombing cities, the imperial military was more inclined to bomb transportation hubs, railways, and trains. This was an effective operation.

"Coming! They're coming!"

At about ten o'clock in the morning, some people with good hearing heard voices in the sky, and they pointed to the eastern sky and shouted loudly.

Amidst their shouts, people raised their heads and looked towards the eastern sky. Ladies and women in full costumes and holding parasols looked towards the sky with eager eyes. At this moment, they even made up their minds. Once I got an idea, I must find a pilot in the aviation wing as a lover.

Under the eager eyes of the women, a large black spot appeared in the distant sky, and the roar of the engine became louder and louder.

Air Force has arrived!
The people who had been waiting for a long time looked at the black spot that was getting closer, and their faces showed smiles. Well, with the plane, there is no need to worry about bombs falling from the sky anymore!

"They are welcoming us!"

Durant, who was guiding the formation in the air, looked at the colorful colors around the airport. This was the color of the dresses of the women. They came here to welcome them.

Along the way... Durant and his subordinates have seen the enthusiasm of those women more than once.

After the war broke out, many men were drafted, and the women who stayed at home also needed comfort, and of course they needed to show patriotism in their own way.

……

In the warm welcome of the women, one seemingly inconspicuous plane after another landed on the lawn of the airport. Almost every successful landing, the women would give out enthusiastic cheers, and even a pilot just came from here. When they jumped off the plane, there were women surrounding them to welcome them.

Although he was very eager to dance with those women now, discuss with them the secrets of the human body, and have in-depth soul communication, Durant, as the commander of the wing, went to the commander Arthur MacArthur first, Before he could salute, MacArthur said.

"Welcome to you, Major, the whole West is looking forward to your arrival,"

This is what he said from the bottom of his heart. These days, they have been waiting here.road with plane and pilot
"Thank you General, we are also looking forward to coming to the West as soon as possible."

Durant was the first batch of pilots in the United States. He really wanted to come to the western front, but... he and his subordinates have not yet completed the training, so what if they go to the west?
"You get a sense of their enthusiasm very quickly."

When MacArthur spoke meaningfully, a sergeant hurried over and handed MacArthur a telegram.

After receiving the telegram, MacArthur's expression suddenly changed, and he said in astonishment.

"This, how is this possible."

Durant asked.

"What happened sir?"

MacArthur looked at Durant, then turned his eyes to the air, and muttered to himself.

"New, New York..."
