Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 289 It's time to take out the 107 fire

After roughly analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the Type 41 122mm self-propelled rocket launcher, the deputy commander suddenly turned around and looked at the comrades of the Weapons Experimental and Research Bureau with expectant eyes.

"Huang He, Zhong Lin, how many rockets have you brought this time, and do you have any left in stock?"

"Can you let me launch a round, I want to experience the operation of the new weapon for myself, and by the way, enjoy the spectacular scene when it is fired up close."

Facing the burning gaze of the other party, Huang He nodded with a smile.

Although there are not many finished products of the first batch of 122mm rockets, it is definitely more than enough for another round of test firing.

What's more, the deputy commander-in-chief has been in the headquarters for a long time to lead the overall situation, and he has not been able to touch weapons for a long time. The closest time he was away from the devils was the day Kazuki Yamamoto attacked the Independence Regiment's garrison.

Now let him try to shoot rockets, and it can barely be regarded as a hand addiction.

The control system of the 41-type 122mm self-propelled rocket launcher is not complicated. It consists of three parts: a lift regulator, a panoramic periscope, and a knob similar to a direction machine.

Such a simple and efficient shooting, the entry barrier of the weapon is very low.

In a short time, the comrades from the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau brought in twelve rounds of rockets, and they stuck the shells into the bottom of the I-shaped guide rail from bottom to top.

After the rocket is loaded, the slot at the bottom of the guide rail will automatically lock the shell so that it will not fall off easily.

In the end, it is only necessary to add a series fuze to the bottom of each rocket, and then the normal launch process can be carried out.

Before firing, the deputy commander did not forget to remind Huang He:

"I'm ready! The shelling can start anytime!"

"Don't forget to tell the comrades at the airport to keep them away from the area of ​​the white target, lest the rockets spread too poorly and accidentally injure their own people!"

The new self-propelled rocket launcher adopts relatively advanced power ignition technology, and its launch button is set on the right front of the steering wheel in the cab.

After confirming that everything was ready, the deputy commander took a deep breath and pressed the launch button.

"Shhhhhh!"

Accompanied by the tail flame and the screaming sound of piercing the air, it took only eight seconds for the twelve rockets to fly to the target area.

At the end of the test firing, the deputy commander left the cab with great emotion.

In just two years, the Eighth Route Army has undergone earth-shaking changes in all aspects.If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, everything would be really dreamy.

"Let's go, now we can go back to Taiyuan in the dark."

"In the evening, the commanders above the brigade level will be called for a meeting to discuss the combat matters in the Suiyuan area."

"By the way, the Type 41 122mm self-propelled rocket launcher doesn't have a code name yet. Such a good weapon doesn't have an impressive name. Think about it, everyone, today is the first day of July, and it's very commemorative."

Looking at the big bosses who were thinking hard, Huang He felt no less emotional than the deputy commander-in-chief.

In the original timeline, the first time Rabbit used self-propelled rockets on a large scale was in the war across the Yalu River.

There are only 120 Katyushas, ​​which almost used up the few gold reserves of the family. In a sense, it is really a golden tael.

The deputy commander-in-chief at that time said a very simple sentence. He demanded that no rocket launcher regiment be dispatched easily, and which regiment and army it was assigned to fight needed his approval.

The army commanders at that time also regarded it as a treasure, and some even hid Katyusha in a cave and did not allow anyone to approach it.

It’s different now. The Eighth Route Army already had its own self-propelled rocket launchers in 1941, and it’s impossible for the six taels of gold to shell out.

Of course, words cannot be too absolute.

No matter how badly the neighbors in the north were beaten, they need to use all kinds of raw materials to find TG to buy weapons.

After 5 minutes, everyone had successfully come up with several interesting names, and they all waved to Huang He and Zhong Linlai to make the final decision.

"After discussion, we have prepared a total of three code names for the two of you to choose from."

"The first one is the tiger ben, inspired by the tiger ben gun used by the Qi family army to fight against the Japanese. The second is the crouching tiger. The Type 41 self-propelled rocket launcher before launch is like a sleeping tiger. Once the brave tiger is awakened, the enemy will inevitably suffer a devastating blow. .”

"The third one is the Red Arrow. I can't say much about the reason. Everyone saw it clearly when we were at the airport just now."

For everyone present, watching the first test firing of the self-propelled rocket launcher is undoubtedly a valuable experience.

The hundreds of red flames with trailing flames were really like arrows piercing the sky, leaving a deep impression on the bosses.

Seeing his director's embarrassment, Zhong Lin knew without thinking that the other party had suffered from naming difficulties again.He participated in the manufacture of the Type 41 122mm self-propelled rocket launcher throughout the whole process, and he naturally had a say in the choice of the code name.

"I think Red Arrow is better!"

"The Huben sounds like a heavy artillery, which is a bit inconsistent with the highly maneuverable self-propelled rocket launcher. Crouching Tiger gives me the feeling that it is more like a train gun with the final word."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes lit up.In the end, the deputy chief of staff decided to formally determine the code name of the Type 41 122mm self-propelled rocket launcher.

As for Huang He's idea?Everyone knows what kind of urine he is, and the name Fei is just a person who is just pretending in the current situation.

In fact, Mr. Huang also had a hard time and couldn't tell. He planned to save the name Red Arrow for future anti-tank missiles. Who would have thought that he would be intercepted in advance.

······
After the two experiments were successfully concluded, it was time for Huang He and Zhong Lin to part again.The former has to go back to Taiyuan to unlock new scientific research projects, and the latter has to go back to the border area to continue developing new weapons.

Before leaving, Huang He took out a stack of design drawings from the folder he carried with him.

"The research on rockets will continue, but we need to change our thinking next. The road conditions in most provinces of the Republic of China are very poor, and it will be very difficult to run without road trucks."

"In addition to the vehicle-mounted rocket launcher, I personally think that it is very necessary for our Weapons Experimental Research Bureau to add a new weapon to the troops. It is more maneuverable and portable than the Red Arrow, and the cost must be lower."

"Its positioning is to suppress firepower at the regiment level."

After receiving the blueprint, Zhong Lin glanced at it roughly.

I saw that the new weapon in the picture was very low, as if several short-barrel rocket launchers were installed on two wheels, and it looked a bit like a farm tool.

And there are a few lines next to the design drawing: the upper part of the neck is easy to raise the head; the lower part of the buttocks is convenient for striding;

In fact, Huanghe's so-called new design idea is one of the three guerrilla artifacts that emphasizes portability, the 107mm rocket launcher!
