The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 187: Barbecue?

"Boom boom boom~~"

The explosions of fuel-air bombs were not as loud as those of tank guns, but a very small mushroom cloud rose up and continued to expand outward.
The soldiers who were close to it suddenly felt a burst of heat, and the air seemed to stop for a moment.

At this time, the photographer following the combined battalion captured this spectacular scene.

Commander Wang and others who were watching with telescopes were so frightened that they couldn't hold the telescopes and they fell to the ground.

Commander Wang was horrified and said, "Director Liu, you...you actually have tactical nuclear bombs? How dare you use tactical nuclear bombs?"

Ever since Hiroshima and Nagasaki welcomed the two naughty children, "Little Boy" and "Fat Man", the whole world knows the power of the atomic bomb, which is the ultimate weapon on the battlefield.

The major military powers have invested in the research of atomic bombs at all costs. So far, five countries have nuclear weapons, namely the current five permanent members of the UN Security Council.

With the development of nuclear weapons, nuclear weapons are divided into strategic nuclear weapons and tactical nuclear weapons according to their uses.

However, nuclear weapons have always been used as a deterrent. Many scholars believe that the greatest role of nuclear weapons is deterrence. As for their use on the battlefield, they have not been used once since World War II.

In the world, only the United States and the Soviet Union currently possess tactical nuclear weapons. Other countries, such as Britain and France, do not have tactical nuclear weapons. China is also studying the miniaturization of nuclear weapons and developing tactical nuclear weapons, but Commander Wang has not heard of it yet and has overcome the technical difficulties.

"No, that's not a nuclear bomb!" Liu Tao quickly denied.

Commander Wang said: "The mushroom cloud has appeared, and you still say it's not true!"

It is a consensus around the world that a nuclear weapon explosion will form a mushroom cloud.

"I'm not well educated, don't lie to me!" Commander Wang didn't believe it at all. "Wait until this battle is over, and you'll be punished!"

Commander Wang wanted to die at this moment.

Liu Tao will be punished, but he is the commander of this battle and has an unshirkable responsibility.

"This type of bomb is called a fuel-air explosive bomb. It is a conventional bomb and was put into use on the southern battlefield as early as 1975," Liu Tao explained.

Commander Wang was stunned for a moment, then seemed to remember something.

"It seems to be the case." Commander Wang thought thoughtfully.

"This fuel-air bomb does not have any radiation. Its damage to the target is mainly due to the overpressure and temperature field effects generated by the explosion, as well as the flushing effect of the high-temperature and high-pressure explosion products." Liu Tao explained, "If you don't believe it, we will go over and take a look."

Commander Wang nodded, and everyone left Mengdong and headed towards the main peak of Koulin Mountain under the protection of the guards.

There was no more gunfire on the battlefield.

But there was some barbecue aroma in the air.

"Can your battalion barbecue on the battlefield?" Commander Wang frowned.

You know, on the front line battlefield, even if it is just the 42nd Division, there is a lot of pressure on logistics supply. Most of the food on the front line is canned luncheon meat and field rations. Even the living standards of commanders like them are not very high.

Some people also swallowed their saliva and said, "Your camp's food standards are really high! We can even grill meat on the battlefield!"

"Everyone, how about I treat you all to barbecue? Don't worry, if you like it, you will definitely be able to eat enough!" When Liu Tao heard this, a sly smile appeared on his face.

"This is what you said, Director Liu, you can't go back on your word!" someone said. Liu Tao smiled and said, "I will never go back on my word!"

The closer we got, the stronger the aroma of meat became, and there was also a burnt smell in the air.

At this time, some time had passed and the air in the enemy positions on the main peak had recovered. Although there were still flames, the temperature was not so high.

When Commander Wang and his men arrived at the main peak position, everyone's faces began to change. The further they went into the position, the more intense the reaction became.

It’s so miserable!

Even those who have experienced and seen life and death on the battlefield would find it difficult to remain calm when seeing the tragic scene before them.

Many people even couldn't help but vomit after seeing this scene.

What a bullshit invitation to barbecue. They will get angry with anyone who mentions barbecue again.

Many people looked at Liu Tao with strange eyes. They all wanted to split Liu Tao's head open to see what Liu Tao was thinking.

And how did Liu Tao develop this weapon!
This weapon is really unethical!

Aren’t you afraid of losing your lineage?
"With this kind of weapon, we won't have to fight positional battles anymore!" Commander Wang couldn't help but say after calming down.

Liu Tao smiled faintly and said, "The fuel-air explosive bomb is not without its shortcomings. It is not applicable at all times."

"In the case of strong winds, the effect is not very good. The area of ​​action will be quickly filled with air brought by the strong wind due to air pressure issues. In this way, if the enemy does not die in the high temperature, there is still a great chance of survival. Or prepare oxygen cylinders in advance. As long as they survive the initial lack of oxygen, they will be safe!" Liu Tao said: "However, in a situation like today, the fuel-air explosive bomb is indeed a powerful weapon."

There is little wind today, which is a very friendly situation for fuel-air bombs.

"Now I finally understand why your battalion attacked so quickly. It took only half an hour to destroy the defenders." Commander Wang said with emotion, "The soldiers are armed to the teeth and have so many advanced weapons. No matter how fearless and brave the enemy soldiers are, they can only passively take the beating."

"By the way, I saw some abandoned rocket launchers on the road. It's such a waste. Why do you throw them away after using them?" Commander Wang asked puzzledly.

Liu Tao explained: "Commander Wang, this rocket launcher is the latest weapon developed by our Panshan Machinery Factory. It is a disposable rocket launcher that can only be used once and then discarded."

"Disposable rocket launcher? Throw it away after use? You are too extravagant. Why don't you use Type 69 rocket launcher?" Commander Wang was puzzled.

Liu Tao said: "Our Type 80 rocket launcher, the launcher and shell weigh only about 7.5 kilograms, the soldiers can carry it on their backs and throw it away after launching, which will not cause drag and form a burden for the soldiers."

"This is an 80mm rocket launcher. The launcher and shells weigh only 7.5 kilograms in total. It can be said to be an infantry cannon, which greatly improves the firepower." Liu Tao smiled faintly and said, "The most important thing is that the Type 80 rocket launcher is very cheap, much cheaper than the Type 69 rocket launcher."

In this attack, every soldier of the combined battalion was equipped with a set of Type 80 rocket launchers, and the Type 80 rocket launcher was fully demonstrated in this war.

Use the Type 80 rocket launcher to destroy fortifications from a distance of two or three hundred meters. If there are any missed ones and the distance is relatively close, then use the flamethrower directly.

Not to mention, snipers are constantly hunting down enemies that appear on the battlefield.

In addition, with the Type 80 tank in the front attracting fire, the enemy always hits the tank with bullets and shells, which will expose the target and become a target.
