Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

On the outskirts of Taiyuan, the Eighth Route Army weapons test range.

"Zuo! Huang! What are you two doing? Come back and test the gun with me!"

"Suka, the recoil of this little thing is really powerful. This is the self-defense weapon that a real man should use!"

Obviously, Comrade Lao Cui is in a very good mood now. The frown on his face at the dinner party before has disappeared without a trace.

The reason is very simple. The first weapon of the Eighth Route Army is so powerful, so the next journey will be more colorful.

The deeper the foundation of the ally, the greater the aid. The advantage is mine!

Full of expectations, the army general with a particularly long name put down the Mas35 in his hand, and then followed the guard of the deputy general staff to the next target position.

"Comrade, the fully automatic weapon in front of you is called Mas38. Its biggest advantages are its rate of fire and portability."

"The best combat distance for this firearm is 100 meters. If it exceeds 200 meters, you can only kill the enemy by chance. The magazines on the table can be used at will, and I will replenish your ammunition in time."

As soon as these words came out, the old Russian's eyes suddenly sparkled, as if he had seen some rare treasure.

After all, in the field of submachine guns, if he, Lao Cui, claimed to be the second, then no one in the entire northern army circle dared to claim to be the first.

There is no other reason, this is the valuable experience gained by the position of army commander. If you have been tortured by the Finns with Suomi, you can also have such confidence.

"Okay, then trouble the little comrade."

After speaking, Lao Cui grabbed the Mas38 on the table without saying a word.

This submachine gun, which is already slightly petite, looks like a beautifully crafted toy in his hands, and it feels like a submachine gun in the future.

Open the safety, aim at the target, and pull the trigger.

Da da da.

Accompanied by the shaking of the gun, the crisp sound of gunfire echoed in the sky above the shooting range.

After firing a round, Lao Cui was obviously not satisfied. He first fumbled to replace the new magazine by himself, and then he learned to double-handedly shoot without any instruction.

After a round of banging, the old Russian said excitedly to Huang He who had just returned:

"Huang! This submachine gun is simply the most perfect weapon! If my troops were equipped with it during the Winter War two years ago, they would definitely be able to kill Mannerheim."

"To be honest, I really can't figure out one thing."

"Why did the French have such advanced infantry equipment, but they only persisted for 42 days before surrendering?"

The sudden behavior of sucking the French made Huang He subconsciously reveal the exclusive smile of a fun-loving person.

The only drawback is that it's a pity that Lao Dai has returned to North Africa in advance, otherwise he and the deputy chief of staff would be able to observe a close-up fight between senior officers.

Facing the eager eyes of his allies, Huang added with a serious and responsible attitude:

"Mas38 is indeed a good gun. Its paper data is even stronger than the MP40 of the German III."

"However, the specific victory and defeat relationship between the two can only be seen on the battlefield."

"As far as I know, due to the relocation of the factory to the east and performance reasons, your self-developed submachine gun should not be mass-produced for the time being. Perhaps this French product is a good emergency choice."

The star of World War II, the PPSh, is a weapon that only exploded in production capacity in 1942.

At this point in time, the north has not even started mass production.

Moreover, when Lao Cui came to the Republic of China, this weapon had not yet passed the review of the National Defense Committee, which is why he was excited to see Mas38.

"Okay, I will definitely report what you just said to my superiors. Huang, your internationalist spirit is extremely dazzling."

After humbly accepting the advice of his allies, Lao Cui put down the submachine gun in his hand and then walked to the next wave of targets.

Compared with distinctive pistols and submachine guns, the Russians seem to have little interest in French rifles and light and heavy machine guns.

Although Mas36 combines the strengths of hundreds of schools, it even has the strength to compete for the title of the strongest bolt-action rifle in World War II. But the North is equipped with a large number of Mosin-Nagants, and the gap in rifles is not too big.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, they will certainly not equip a standard weapon of different calibers.

FM24/29 loses in firepower density and sustainability. The delivery volume of Dapanji is not ordinary perverted, and that is the weapon that best suits the style of the fighting nation.

In terms of heavy machine guns, the Russians always prefer water-cooled Maxim.

After all, in the cold Eastern Front of Europe, the M1930 and 1940, which can be directly injected with ice and snow, have more lasting firepower.

After experiencing the complete set of French basic infantry equipment, Lao Cui first rubbed his somewhat sore shoulders and knuckles, and then tentatively said to Huang He:

"Huang, does your Eighth Route Army have equipment to deal with armored forces?"

"You should know that the German Third Army deployed four armored armies on the Eastern Front. Those damn tanks, rampaging in positional warfare and even street fighting, caused great losses to comrades."

"We are in urgent need of anti-tank equipment, whether it is individual soldiers or heavy weapons."

Thanks to the excellent confidentiality system, outside forces do not know much about the specific equipment of the Eighth Route Army.

The Japanese, who are often beaten, do have a set of fairly detailed intelligence, but they will definitely not be kind enough to share it with the Russians.

Although the two signed a neutrality treaty at the beginning of last year, there are many intrigues among them. If they don't stab each other, they will be happy.

So from Lao Cui's perspective, the Eighth Route Army has always used its super-model air force to deal with the Japanese armored forces, which is why he used a tentative tone.

The ally's inquiry made Huang He reveal an evil smile of success.

Even the deputy chief of staff, who is usually known for his steadiness, couldn't suppress his inner joy at this moment.

Here it comes, the fish finally bites the hook!

"Lao Cui, you have come to the right place this time! Our Eighth Route Army has a total of three mature anti-tank equipment, which can help your major fronts break the deadlock."

"The first one is the 1939-style 40mm rocket launcher!"

"This is a single-soldier anti-tank equipment independently developed by our Weapon Experimental Research Bureau. The name of the foreign trade version is RPG!"

After hearing the name RPG, Comrade Lao Cui's expression seemed a little confused. This scene was very similar to the scene when the British engineer saw the Spitfire, Typhoon and handsome warriors at Wusu Airport.

At this moment, it was as if there was a voice whispering in his ear, constantly emphasizing that this should have been his own weapon.

Seeing the reaction of the ally, Huang He tried to hold back his smile.

At the signal from the deputy chief of staff, he first took out the tube, and then began to screw in the super-caliber rocket in front of the old Russians.

"Come on, carry it."

"The use of the 40mm rocket launcher is very simple, just carry it on your shoulder, aim at the target and pull the trigger."

"Did you see the oil barrel a hundred meters away? That is the first target of this test. I will teach you how to use the sights, you can try it out first."

Hearing this, Lao Cui hurriedly cleared his mind of distracting thoughts. Under Huang He's careful teaching, he carefully completed the aiming and pulled the trigger of the 40 fire.

Boom!

I saw a burst of fire at the tail of the tube, and the shell rushed out of white smoke and flew straight towards the target.

Accompanied by a deafening explosion, a large fireball rose from the target in the distance, and the wreckage of the oil barrel was flying all over the sky.

"Suka! What kind of monster is this!"

Even though Lao Cui had prepared himself mentally in advance, the destructive power of the 40 fire still scared him.

That's right, Huang He filled the oil barrel with gasoline!

Otherwise, a single armor-piercing shell would definitely not achieve such a shocking effect.

This is not that Huang deliberately deceived consumers and made false propaganda to promote his own weapons. If you can hit the tank's fuel tank, the destructive effect will definitely be stronger.

Looking at the frightened allies, Huang He cleared his throat and introduced:

"Although the effective range of our 40mm rocket launcher is not far, its armor-piercing effect within a distance of 100 to 150 meters is as high as 200 mm."

"This means that as long as your infantry can successfully hit the target, the armor of the German Type 34 tank will definitely be broken at the touch of a button."

"Even if the enemy develops more advanced and more protective heavy tanks in the future, the performance of 40 fire will not disappoint you."

As soon as these words came out, Lao Cui's eyes seemed to be burning with a blazing flame.

Based on his experience just now, this individual anti-tank equipment called a 40mm rocket launcher is only one meter and three meters long and weighs five kilograms.

In this way, only two skilled shooters are needed to perfectly exert its power.

At this stage, fierce street fighting breaks out every day on the Eastern Front battlefield. It is not an exaggeration to say that every inch of land must be fought for.

Once the infantry is equipped with 40mm rocket launchers in batches, the four armored clusters of the German III will inevitably fall into the swamp of the sea of ​​people and eventually cannot escape the fate of destruction.

After careful consideration, Lao Cui said to Huang He with a serious face:

"Davali, this individual anti-tank weapon is exactly what we urgently need. Although it is presumptuous to say so, I hope you can share the drawings while providing assistance."

"For this, we are willing to pay a reasonable price."

As a native of Dabie Mountain, Huang He naturally would not do a business at a loss. He spread his hands helplessly and said:

"I am just a scientist without real power. It is not my turn to make decisions on such decision-making matters. You have to talk to others about the details of the Lend-Lease Act."

After receiving the signal, the deputy chief of staff on the side came to the rescue in time and changed the subject.

"Lao Cui, let's go back to the headquarters to discuss the specific agreement. Let's take a look at the next weapons first. Maybe there will be equipment you like more."

At the same time, the old Russian realized that he had lost his composure.

Let's not talk about whether the request just now was inappropriate. Just exposing the real idea too early is a big mistake, which will put himself in a passive position in the next negotiation.

You can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient.

"Okay!"

"Then we will discuss it later."

While chatting, the three of them had already arrived at the next stage of the shooting range. Compared with the previous small fights, this is the hard dish prepared by Huanghe for Lao Cui.

The first weapon that came into view was the Hotchkiss SA34, which had repeatedly made great achievements in the battlefield of North China.

In today's world, except for the Eighth Route Army, only Vichy France and Germany III were equipped with this anti-tank gun.

After the Barbarossa operation began, the little mustache distributed these 99 new weapons seized to his vassal states.

Facing the weakly armored T26 and BT series, this French toothpick played a dominant performance, which once made the Russian armored forces miserable.

After the test firing, Lao Cui gave SA34 a very high evaluation.

Looking at the allies who were still not satisfied, Huang He pointed to another large tube on standby and said:

"This 47 mm caliber anti-tank gun is called the Mle SA37. Its performance can fully meet your current needs, and it is more than enough to deal with the No. 3 and No. 4 tanks."

The unfamiliar weapons in front of him made Lao Cui fall into deep thought.

With a military rank of his level, it is basically impossible for Europe to have standard equipment that he does not recognize.

In this case, there is only one possibility left. This cannon is most likely the trump card prepared by France for the decisive battle.

Huang He didn't mean to show off. He took out a cannonball from the ammunition box and continued to introduce:

"In my opinion, the SA37 has almost no other shortcomings except weight. Its total weight is 1.1 tons, and it needs vehicles to tow it when marching."

"As an anti-tank gun with French origin, the height of this thing after removing the gun mantlet is only 1.2 meters. It is very suitable for squatting in the pit and shooting black guns."

"In terms of firepower, the theoretical rate of fire is 20 rounds per minute. Facing Honest Armor, it can penetrate 106 mm at 100 meters, 89 mm at 500 meters, and 72 mm at 1,000 meters."

Yes, the Mle SA37 is a new piece of equipment unlocked by Huanghe through the scientific research slot. It can even be said to be the first weapon specifically used for foreign trade.

After all, the scrap metal we have is not worthy of the Eighth Route Army's use of such a large-scale killer weapon.

As a high-quality product provided by Awakening Brave Tiger, the system repaired the originally defective braking device, thus improving the artillery accuracy of SA37 at long distances.

In order to enhance the penetration, the original French product used traditional skills to increase the charge of the shell.

This makes the tail flame of the SA37 larger when firing, which will not only block the gunner's field of vision during combat, but also expose the position of one's own position.

This considerate system directly installs a matching muzzle flash suppressor, eliminating hidden dangers once and for all.

Looking at such incredible paper data, Lao Cui said with some disbelief:

"How could such a powerful anti-tank gun be unknown? You are not kidding me."

Faced with the doubts of his allies, Huang He could only resort to milk.

"The original French Army, in order to prevent Desan from making corresponding armor upgrades before the war, always regarded this artillery as a secret weapon at the bottom of the box."

"It's just that their confidentiality work is really excellent. They not only hid it from their enemies but also from their own people."

"Except for some elite troops, most French people themselves don't know the existence of SA37, let alone an outsider like you."

I have saved 2,700. If I write quickly, I can write 10,000 a day today, if I write slowly, I can write tomorrow.

This SA37 is the Lorraine 37L gun in War Thunder, which is more powerful than the 50mm gun of Desan.
