Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 607 607 Enemy's Progress

"This is a new weapon used by mirage soldiers! A grenade! It's not our model, and the appearance is very different." Looking at some familiar equipment, a major grabbed the Said a mirage grenade.

What he was holding in his hand was a grenade produced by Mirage, which looked very similar to the first-generation wooden-handled grenade used by Tang Jun.

That thing is no longer used by Tang Jun himself, and then he handed over the inventory to the troops in Beiling at a low price.

Later, the Northridge troops also used it on the battlefield, especially in the battle to destroy the Kingdom of Gmelin, which consumed a large number of hand grenades in stock.

Since that battle, the inventory statistics of wooden-handled grenades have fallen into chaos, because it is impossible to check the consumption and loss on the battlefield.

I heard that when Northridge began to migrate, most of the grenades in stock were consumed as training, but there were still a batch that disappeared.

In short, the first-generation grenade produced by Datang Military Industry actually had many opportunities to be taken away for research.

Of course, in fact, it is just pure research and imitation, and there are no barriers to the similar grenade technology.The technology of this thing is very simple, and the workshop craft is easy to produce.

It is not difficult to be able to produce shell fuzes, and even Cyric, which has a large number of factories, to produce grenades, so Tang Jun did not panic after seeing the opponent's grenades.

"It also refers to our wooden handle design." Another old officer sneered, picked up a grenade that can be used as a hammer, and looked at the white text on it.

"Cyric, type 1... won't they have a new name?" Another officer complained disdainfully.

"When attacking in the future, be careful with this thing." Looking at the new enemy weapon in front of him, the major who just spoke looked around at the surrounding officers, and then reminded: "To sum up, report to the higher authorities! We must alert all soldiers Attention! Send the rest of the samples to the division headquarters together."

In trench warfare, if the opponent starts to use grenades on a large scale unexpectedly, the unprepared Tang Jun may suffer a dull loss.

In fact, in this battle, Tang soldiers have already died from enemy grenades.When attacking a trench, the enemy threw seven or eight such grenades. Caught off guard, the Tang army killed four soldiers and injured a dozen more.

"It's really irritating." The old officer carrying a grenade looked at the text on the grenade again, and muttered angrily: "If there is a chance, the **** Cyric's bastards will pay for their blood! "

"That's right! But now let those goblins who slaughtered humans taste our anger!" The officer next to him patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Don't worry! We will pay all the debts. They remember!"

……

Amp, in the highest command of the Tang Army, a group of technical officers are gathering to talk about the newly discovered new enemy weapons.

These weapons are actually very interesting: the mirage army uses a new 50mm caliber artillery on the front line, and its gun mount has been improved to allow the barrel to be quickly lifted and rotated laterally.

Simply put, this is a very primitive small-caliber anti-aircraft gun, and its aiming speed has been greatly improved compared to the old-fashioned 76mm caliber balloon gun.

However, this artillery is not equipped with an air-to-air sight, nor is it equipped with corresponding height measuring equipment, and no artillery shells with fixed-altitude artillery shell fuzes have been found near the positions of this artillery.

In other words, Mirage is trying to manufacture anti-aircraft guns with better performance, but it is still in the process of groping.Their weapons are more like semi-finished products. Although they still have no practical significance, they are already more advanced than the weapons they used in the past.

Similarly, the Maxim heavy machine gun equipped by the mirage army has also undergone lightweight improvements. It canceled the bulky gun frame and somewhat reduced some weight.

It's a pity, because there is no way to give up the water cooling, so the total combat weight of this weapon is still very high, and the mirage soldiers are too short, in fact, it still cannot improve the battlefield mobility of the machine gun team.

But this improvement does meet the basic requirements of mirage troops: their soldiers are short in stature, and lightweight weapons really make sense to them.

In addition, news that Tang Jun found enemy grenades on the front line has also been sent back here, which has caused uneasiness among many officers.

"If grenades start to be equipped on a large scale, what about landmines?" An officer with glasses asked beside the conference table.

"We must be careful of cheap defensive weapons like landmines. If the enemy uses similar weapons in battle, our casualties may increase again." Another technical officer said with a heavy face.

The enemy's technology improvement is out of control, and as time goes by, the enemy's technology will definitely become higher and higher.

"Do you want to change the tactical manual so that soldiers have more awareness of landmines and grenades, and improve their defense?" The officer pinched his chin and gave his suggestion.

"Okay, let's reprint a batch of tactical manuals, and list some new weapons of the enemy in as much detail as possible." Chief of General Staff Loew, who presided over the meeting, finally gave the order.

As the chief of staff of the army, he had to think from the perspective of the overall situation: similar weapons would definitely appear on the battlefield more and more, and Tang Jun had to be prepared at that time.

"Here! Here's another interesting thing!" While talking, a semicircular iron lump was placed on the conference table.

It was a hemispherical iron sheet, the inside was hollow, and there was a hole sunk in it, which looked like a bullet hole.

"Steel helmet?" Tang Jun has long been fully equipped with M35 steel helmets, so of course he is no stranger to this thing.When seeing it, an officer directly said its name aloud.

"Well, it's something from the Mirage." The officer who took out this thing nodded and said, "It was found on the battlefield. The hole in it was made by our snipers. The person who died was an officer from the Mirage."

Compared with the exquisite Tang Jun M35 steel helmet, the mirage steel helmet on the table in front of him is actually quite rough. Its structure is simpler, and it doesn't even have a design with protruding edges.

Its shape is half a sphere, and the edges have been polished. This thing is not generally equipped with mirage soldiers, and only a small amount is distributed to frontline officers.

"In this way, the soldiers can't just look at the helmet to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy." Said the officer on the side with a face full of regret.

This is a very important means of identifying friend or foe. Before that, looking at whether a helmet is worn is an obvious way to judge whether it is an enemy or a friend.

"Give these bastards a few more years, are they going to make planes?" Recently, they often find some novelty gadgets on the battlefield, so a Tang general couldn't help complaining.

"No way, we can't stop people from copying our homework." Loew also felt very helpless.

Things like steel helmets can be copied by just looking at them casually.As for performance, no one cares.

It doesn't matter if the design is unscientific. Anyway, it is already a kind of progress to issue steel helmets to the soldiers. Don't you see that the Qi State is dead, and the soldiers of the Qi State only wear soft hats?

This means that the plane can't be made out of the shape. If it can be made out, Cyric probably has a serious air force now...

"It seems that it's time for us to let them know that our weapons can't be easily copied." A general looked at Loew aside and said, "Did Your Majesty order us to speed up the pace of attack?" To throw in some new gear?"

"Yes!" Loew approved the other party's suggestion: "Let's let the rocket launcher unit try it out, and let our enemies know how powerful we are!"

In the far south of Beiyuan City, at a simple station built by Tang Jun, the train slowly stopped on the platform.

On the flatbed train, one vehicle was covered with canvas, and it could only be seen that a new type of weapon was transported to the front line by a truck.

Until the train was unloaded, the carriages of these trucks were covered with canvas, and the surrounding soldiers could only vaguely see that behind the trucks was a row of shelves pointing obliquely at the sky, which looked quite strange.

Soon, these trucks arrived at the area that had been marked out long ago.The surrounding security forces were driven farther away, and no one knew what weapons these trucks were.

This weapon is still in the state of top secret, and the soldiers on the front line don't know that there is a rocket launcher battalion behind them ready to fight.

When the loaders belonging to the rocket launcher unit hung the rockets on the launch track, the world's first rocket launcher was ready for combat.

The infantry generals who were watching and the technicians who were testing, even Tiger participated in this actual shooting feast of rocket launchers.

With an order, everyone immediately felt the shock brought by this weapon.Gunpowder smoke filled the entire artillery position, and the blown dust engulfed all the launch vehicles in an instant.

Seeing the smoke pillars slanting towards the sky and gradually receding, this spectacular sight made everyone's eyes widen.

In just a few tens of seconds, a battalion of 24 rocket launchers fired a full 384 rockets at the predetermined enemy positions.

This is almost equal to the ammunition pouring ability of all the artillery on the southern line of the Tang Army, which can be seen from the powerful instant pouring ability of the rocket launcher.

Looking at all this, Tiger didn't know what to say. Six years ago, he was still ecstatic about getting a revolver.But now, he no longer knew what adjectives to use to describe the weapon in front of him.
