As soon as Bai Yi said this, the backbones in the room couldn't help but be stunned, because they never expected that Bai Yi would lead the core of the problem to anti-tank. They only thought that the infantry fire support that Bai Yi mentioned before was just pure infantry fire support.

The cover was covered by fire, and I didn’t think too deeply about other aspects.

In fact, we can't blame these backbones for their shallow thinking. After all, in China, there has not been a fierce confrontation with armored mechanization like that in Europe. Of course, it is not uncommon for tanks to accompany infantry attacks. In the Anti-Japanese War and the Liberation War,

Not uncommon.

But the problem is that whether it is the Japanese Doudin tank or the American M3 tank of the Nationalist Government, they are thin-skinned light tanks at best. They do not need special anti-tank weapons at all. A few cluster grenades or an explosive pack can easily solve it. Since

Without experience in large-scale anti-armor operations, these backbones would naturally not think in this direction.

In this regard, Bai Yi did not look down upon them, because he knew very well that these "local" backbones who graduated from domestic universities or were self-taught were just a matter of vision and experience, and had nothing to do with their own knowledge base. On the contrary, each of them

They all have solid theoretical skills and rigorous academic styles.

It's just that they have been unable to expand their horizons due to years of war. If one day they are allowed to come into contact with the real masters and cutting-edge technologies in the military industry in the world today, I believe that with their ability to study hard, they will definitely explode into something surprising.

Unexpected miracles.

Is this day far away? Bai Yi said that it is not too far away, because he believes that in a few months, the backbone group in front of him will complete a lifelong journey north, but before that, Bai Yi still needs to weigh himself.

Weighing, after all, this is a process of selecting seeds. As for who can germinate and who will die, it requires water and soil to test, and Bai Yi's test field is none other than the new recoilless artillery currently being launched.

research and development work.

"Why can't mortars hit tanks?"

Just when everyone was gradually accepting Bai Yi's point of view, Feng Chong's words suddenly changed the atmosphere in the room, so that even Bai Yi was a little dumbfounded. Yes, mortars can indeed be anti-tank, but that was under his control.

In previous lives, thanks to advances in the field of microelectronics, it was possible to integrate terminally sensitive bullet ammunition into large-caliber mortar shells.

In order to achieve anti-tank combat effectiveness, however, at this moment, electronic technology is still in its infancy, and even more reliable tactical missiles are not yet mature, let alone terminally sensitive bombs. How can mortars have anti-tank effectiveness?

?So even Bai Yi was curious and motioned for Feng Chong to continue.

Feng Chong was not humble. After sorting out his thoughts for a moment, he continued: "I said that mortars can fight tanks. It is not without evidence. During the Battle of Xuzhou during the Anti-Japanese War, the Nationalist Government army at that time used large-caliber mortars to attack attacking troops.

The Japanese tanks implemented a fire coverage, and out of the five tanks, three were completely destroyed, one was injured and unable to move, and only one retreated hastily, so if the mortar is used well, it can hit the tank!"

When Feng Chong said these words, Bai Yi was drinking from a water cup. After hearing this, he almost spit out a mouthful of water. Fortunately, Bai Yi had enough determination to endure it, but his weird expression could not be concealed.

Seeing this, Feng Chong couldn't help but frowned and looked at Bai Yi with some dissatisfaction: "Comrade Bai Yi, what, did I say something wrong?"

"You are right, but think about it, what was the caliber of the mortars used by the Nationalist Government at that time?"

"120mm"

Bai Yi continued to ask, "What is the fighting quality?"

Feng Chong answered without hesitation: "232 kilograms."

"How many people are needed for operation?" Bai Yi asked again.

"Fifteen people." Feng Chong said simply as always.

"The weight of 232 kilograms, the establishment of 18 people, regardless of the corresponding base number of artillery shells, but this establishment is already beyond the endurance of an infantry unit!"

As he spoke, Bai Yi scrawled the words "Infantry Unit" on the blackboard, and then tapped the chalk next to these words a few times: "I just said for a long time, what we have developed

What are recoilless artillery mainly used for? The fire support of infantry units. For a company-platoon-level infantry unit, the equipment they need must be light, simple and occupy a small organization.

The reason why I did not consider mortars is mainly because the mortar establishment is too large. Even a small 60mm mortar would occupy at least three people, not to mention that the operation of the mortar requires more time.

Professional technical knowledge, but what the infantry needs is immediate fire strike effect with the pull of the trigger.

Of course, maybe you will say, Comrade Bai Yi, you are off topic. Aren’t we talking about anti-tank issues? Well, let’s talk about anti-tank issues and mortars.”

You must know that the people who can sit here are either the technical backbone of a large military factory or the top students of a certain university. All in all, they are all the elites of the elite. They are all independent in their respective units. It cannot be said that they are superior to others.

, but everyone’s spirits are high.

Take Feng Chong, who asked the question, as an example. He graduated from Zhonghai University and was a top student in the Department of Mathematics. He also studied applied chemistry by himself and was assigned to the Shencheng Military Factory. Due to his solid skills and rigorous and conscientious manner, he quickly became a

Become the technical backbone of Shencheng Military Factory.

When the Korean War broke out, he was ordered to set up a mortar research team. He used his superior mathematical knowledge and applied chemical theory to solve a series of applied mechanical principles and explosive raw material ratios for mortars, which greatly simplified mortar operations.

The production process of the gun was improved, and the production efficiency was improved, thereby increasing the mortar output of the Shencheng Military Factory by 20%. For this, it was also commended by the Northeast Bureau and the Volunteer Army Headquarters.

Feng Chong is not the only technical backbone in the room. If you look at it, almost everyone is there. There is a wise saying in the scientific community, that is, doubt will lead to truth. These backbones who are both good in character and academic and rigorous and realistic, but they believe in this saying.

This is a lifelong motto, so the sense of suspicion is overwhelming. Unless they are senior leaders, even authoritative experts who have returned from overseas will have a headache when facing them.

Bai Yi is neither a senior leader nor an authoritative expert, and his academic qualifications are even more rubbish. But he doesn't have any headaches when facing these backbones. There is no way. His true soul is an old monster with rich experience in the next 70 years.

So he smiled slightly and asked Feng Chong: "Do you think mortars can be anti-tank?"

Bai Yi is neither a senior leader nor an authoritative expert, and his academic qualifications are even more rubbish. But he doesn't have any headaches when facing these backbones. There is no way. His true soul is an old monster with rich experience in the next 70 years.
