Battle of the Third Reich

Xu Jun’s database also does not have drawings of this grenade gun, but NATO also bought a lot of American weapons at that time. How could this thing be missing in the museum? To be honest, the technical content of the entire system is not very high, of course. This is only for some developed industrial countries, and it is really difficult to reverse copy it in countries with relatively backward materials and processing technology.

Its biggest difficulty is actually in the special ammunition. It requires very high processing accuracy. Without large-scale precision manufacturing technology, it is difficult to control the quality of the product. If the defective rate is high, it will seriously affect its Production cost, when the cost-effective ratio exceeds a certain psychological value, then this weapon loses its value to equip, because there will be a bunch of cheaper alternatives to replace its existence, such as gun-fired grenades and no Recoil cannon, or various grenade launchers.

Germany's precision machining technology was at the forefront of Europe at the time, and of course there would be no problem that such ammunition could not be manufactured. The 4043mm low-speed grenade equipped by the US military has developed a family. Over half a century, it has developed more than a dozen types of ammunition types with different performances and functions. Even the most basic shells have five or six models, not to mention the internal variety of equipment. Medicine and various special fuzes.

Xu Jun did not have the idea of ​​copying them all. He now only needs the most basic models. The Germans are fighting not a special security war, but a traditional regular war.

The Germans will fight face-to-face with the enemy forces. The opponents are not the multitude of Southeast Asian jungles, but regular soldiers with systematic military training.

Therefore, German weapons and ammunition must be suitable for this mode of warfare. The two sides not only compete with the number of weapons and firepower, but also the qualities of soldiers, the command capabilities of officers, and the most critical logistics supply capabilities.

The type of ammunition must be unified, otherwise it will definitely cause disaster in the logistics system. Xu Jun prepared four types of ammunition. The first type is a conventional high-explosive anti-personnel grenade, which is used to deal with unarmored targets. It is loaded with a shaped fragment warhead. After the explosion, it can produce more than two hundred pieces of shrapnel. It is five meters in diameter, but shrapnel still has considerable lethality within ten meters.

The second type is anti-armored grenades, which use hollow-loaded warheads, which can penetrate 50 mm thick armor. This is used to deal with lightly armored vehicles and steel plate infantry bunkers. It is a bit difficult to attack medium tanks, so The best way to deal with tanks is to use professional anti-tank weapons.

The third type is the white phosphorus smoke bomb, which is filled with white phosphorus as a smoke and a burning agent. After the explosion, the white phosphorus inside will spread out, burn and release a large amount of white smoke, and instantly create a piece of smoke with a diameter of about seven meters. Belt, and can be maintained under weak wind for about two minutes. This smoke bomb is mainly used to attack enemy positions and fortification areas, block the sight of the opponent's fire point, and can also set fire in enemy positions, killing enemy personnel and creating panic and confusion.

The fourth type of ammunition is a flares. After launching, it detonates in the air about 150 meters. A small parachute with illuminator is ejected, which can provide half a minute of lighting time. Don’t think the time is too short. In a fully alert position Up to half a minute is enough for the soldiers to see clearly what is happening in the target area and be ready for any response.

Xu Jun expects that the installation of grenade guns will even change the German town's combat mode. In regular operations, important targets on enemy positions will be repeatedly named by various types of artillery and rapid-fire weapons equipped by the Germans, leaving little room for the grenade to play. However, in towns and towns and the dense fortification zone of the enemy, the value of the grenade gun was manifested at that time. It was the best weapon against the enemies in the house and barricades. It was to clear a firepower point hidden in the house, which was one or two. A grenade thing.

If the European war continues now, Xu Jun will not take out this equipment anyway, because the shells of this ammunition are all made of aluminum alloy stamping and casting. If the British sea blockade is not broken, then Germany will consume it. Can't afford the material to make this kind of ammunition.

Europe lacked aluminum ore. At that time, the only countries that had large-scale bauxite mines were Hungary and France. However, in 40 years, the combined bauxite output of the two countries did not exceed 1 million tons, which simply could not meet the needs of all Europe. Therefore, every year Europe needs to import large amounts of aluminum from the colonies of South America and Southeast Asia. The main production areas are Dutch Suriname and Dutch Indochina.

Refining aluminum requires a lot of electricity, which is not affordable by non-industrial countries. The Ruhr industrial zone in Germany has strong smelting capacity. It is also because several nearby large hydropower stations and thermal power stations provide sufficient energy. With raw materials, output is not a problem at all.

Now Germany has got rid of the historical dilemma and no longer suffers from the shortage of materials. As long as it is willing to spend money, aluminum can be used as much as it wants. (Xu Jun: We are pure Europeans, don’t believe me, I’ll build a h39 for you to see immediately. Weierle: Don’t be impulsive, head! ∑(っ°Д°;)っ)

Moreover, the head of state is not only satisfied with imports. He has long set his greedy eyes on the rich land of Africa. Guinea is still a French colony. This country has the world’s largest bauxite deposit, and only 70 have been explored. 400 million tons, occupying a quarter of the world's bauxite reserves.

Why didn't Xu Jun leave a pile of treasures to develop? At present, almost all of Africa is a European colony. At this time, there are no black people's rights organizations. At this time, the black Americans are still sitting in the isolated area of ​​the bus. Any predation against Africa They all echoed the values ​​of the time, oppressing workers of color, and were regarded as decent powers in the entire European and American culture.

Germany has obtained the right to explore and mine minerals in the colonies of countries such as Africa, Britain, France, Italy, Portugal, and so on. Of course, it is not free. Germany will also grant shares in the other enterprise to deduct the funds for the purchase of land.

Xu Jun has a lot of valuable mineral materials, which greatly saves the time and capital of exploration. Some only need mechanical access to mine, and the largest cost is instead consumed in the transportation of ore. However, for Europe with advanced road construction technology For human beings, building a road or railway is not a difficult task. It requires nothing more than manpower and money.

The European war has damaged the vitality of the major capitalist countries. The beasts are all hungry. Perhaps they can pretend to be a group of gentlemen in the civilized world, but in the wild Africa, they will unscrupulously expose their true colors and the prosperity of Europe. Behind the city view, it is unknown how many African corpses are buried.

Xu Jun is known as the apostle of God. He is not a virgin. He will not jump out and talk about freedom and human rights. As a fascist dictator, it would make people feel that he is playing irony.

If he can't walk through this moment, he can't guarantee his own survival. Where can he still take care of the rights and interests of the African people? Of course, he will restrict certain behaviors in the process of plundering and invest in some local infrastructure as much as possible. , Can be regarded as a little return.

Turning back to the topic, there is no shortage of raw materials in Germany. Steel and aluminum oil bullets are readily available. The only thing missing is the time to convert these resources into actual combat power.

The 40mm grenade is still on the drawing, and Krupp’s technicians have launched a series of related tests, such as a complex fuze. In fact, the security fuze used by Americans in history is not a newly developed technology. Inertial insurance technology has long been used in fuzes of various anti-aircraft guns, and even grenades designed in Italy have adopted inertial insurance.

To put it simply, the warhead starts to rotate continuously after leaving the muzzle due to the action of the rifle. The inertia generated during the rotation causes the internal structure of the fuze to rotate with it until the warhead turns to a predetermined number of turns. The holes were finally connected in a line, and the movement of the needle was no longer blocked. At this time, the fuze was considered to be in a fighting state.

It seems that the whole process takes a long time. In fact, it only takes a fraction of a second. At this time, the grenade flew out at a distance of about three meters. If it hits an obstacle within this distance, it will not detonate the grenade and avoid hurting yourself. Accident.

Xu Jun made up his mind to arm his soldiers to the teeth, both metaphorically and literally, in his opinion, if consuming a ton of steel can save a soldier’s life, then consumption is enough, and he will be able to obtain a Veterans with actual combat experience are sometimes more valuable than a hundred tons of steel.
