Chapter 371 This plane is not easy to hit

The leader of the Defense Work Committee was holding a report submitted by the Changjian Factory, his eyes full of joy, the kind of look that a child would have when he got his most favorite toy.

It's like the boys got the electric continuous-fire soft bullet guns and the girls got the plush toys from Ocean Park. Of course, maybe some girls are also very happy to get the soft bullet guns, haha.

There is no doubt that this is the report on the disposable rocket launcher that Gao Zhendong and Changjian Factory were tinkering with.

What made him most happy was a number he had never seen before.

That is the finished version of this disposable rocket launcher, the plastic tube, and the total weight of the entire system.

——3.8kg.

This is probably just the weight of Gao Zhendong’s flagship gaming laptop in his previous life, not including the power supply. If the power supply is included, it will be much heavier than this bazooka.

As a veteran who has been through many battles, the leader knows very well what this weight means.

The Russian AK-47 weighs 4.3kg with an empty gun and magazine.

The product we imitated is lighter after improvements, but except for the short-barreled version that appeared at the end, the weight of other versions is more than 4kg.

For our infantry, this weight is enough for one person to carry one before battle. In special circumstances, such as short-distance assaults, it is not impossible for one person to carry two.

Each squad has about 20 high-powered rockets, and the leaders feel happy just thinking about it.

Little Japs, take my 80mm bomb!

The power of this rocket at this time is definitely very powerful.

If compared with the old 40 rocket in service at this time, the old 40 rocket launcher weighs 2.8kg and the rocket weighs 1.85kg.

Assuming that the chief and deputy gunners each carry 3 rockets, and other comrades can assist by carrying 2 rockets at most, a 10-man infantry squad can carry a total of 22 rockets.

It may seem like a little more than 20 rounds, but at what cost?
It occupies the staffing of 2 men, and these two men are basically just serving this rocket launcher. There are actually only 8 mobile forces available.

Moreover, the entire class actually has only one point of firepower output for the attack. If an accident occurs at this point, or if multiple combat groups are needed to attack from multiple directions at the same time, trouble will arise because there will not be enough points.

But this one-time one is different. Everyone is a firepower expert and can attack as soon as they find their way out. This is very bad news for the enemy.

Looking back again, wow, the range is 30 meters more than the last report. Hey, this kid actually set an ambush last time.

It’s just that this combat unit is a bit strange, and two were reported.

One has the same 600mm static armor penetration as last time, but the other one has not improved but has only 550mm. This is not Gao Zhendong's style.

Looking more closely, the former is a shaped-energy armor-piercing warhead, while the latter has two more words.

——Armor-piercing and lethal warhead with shaped energy.

It seems that Gao Zhendong has discovered something new and added it in, making a new gadget. Each one has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to make a decision, so just report them all and let us choose.

He immediately called the communicator outside in and wrote a list in his hand: "Notify these comrades immediately and hold a meeting the day after tomorrow."

There are also people from the Long Sword Factory here, so the time is set for the day after tomorrow.

It’s such a good thing, why not let them make another report to make everyone happy. Last time they reported, the content of the report included something with a special purpose, so the report was small in scope and still a semi-finished product.

And this seems to be the finished product that they officially launched after the last report. It is really a big surprise. They can call more people to hold a serious meeting specifically about this rocket launcher.

After the communicator left, he put away his cheerful mood and looked at another document in his hand with a frown.

This is a report about the enemy using the American P-2V electronic reconnaissance aircraft to harass us many times and conduct reconnaissance on our inland hinterland.

The rampant nature of their activities, the wide scope of their activities and the sensitive locations of their activities are extremely shocking.

Without saying anything else, just one thing is that this thing has flown to the Beijing area many times, so you can see how serious the situation is.

This thing is a rare model that is equipped with both a jet engine and a propeller engine. It doesn't sound famous at first glance, and from the perspective of flight characteristics, it doesn't seem to have any advanced features at first glance. It can't fly fast or high.

Compared with the later U-2 and SR-71, this seems to be easy to deal with.

But this thing has another ability, which is the opposite. It can't fly very high, but it can fly very low, which is very difficult to deal with.

Flying low will naturally result in the detection distance being compressed. In addition, it flies low, and there are no reliable radars on fighter jets these days. Even if some models have them, such as special models modified from bombers, the radar at that time has very limited ability to process ground clutter, making it difficult to search and track this thing stably.

That’s not all. As an electronic reconnaissance aircraft, the P-2V itself has powerful electronic jamming capabilities at this time. When it starts jamming, it becomes even more difficult to track.

And the activity habit of this type of aircraft is to come at night!

This completely eliminated the possibility of ground guidance and visual search operations by fighter jets after they approached the target airspace. This can be regarded as a disadvantage we suffered in night combat due to insufficient equipment.

The P-2V is equipped with a terrain search radar and can fly very low even at night, even below 300 meters. It doesn't have to do anything itself. This terrain alone was the biggest threat to our flying army at the time.

What most people can't imagine is that this type of aircraft was the one that suffered the most losses before we shot it down. It basically had no counterattack capability, but because of the night battle, we lost 4 aircraft due to terrain problems and sacrificed 10 pilots.

Later we improved our tactics, but we still failed to shoot it down in a short time. One pilot got so angry that he even requested a direct hit after running out of ammunition in a night battle. Of course, this request, which was full of fearless spirit of sacrifice, was flatly rejected by the commander.

It was not until 1961 that our anti-aircraft artillery unit used the close and rapid combat tactic of suddenly turning on the radar and shot down the first aircraft.

However, it was not until June 2 that the Air Force shot down its first P-1963V.

However, once this thing is shot down, it will quickly become cowardly, because once a way is found to deal with it, it will be difficult to deal with it.

In June of the following year, another plane was shot down by the flying army. After proving that the last time they shot it down was not a fluke, they gradually became afraid to come again.

Three planes were shot down, and the pilots and electronic warfare personnel on them killed a total of about 50 enemies.

But these are things for the future. During the past 60 years, this thing was most rampant. However, firstly, there was nothing we could do about it, and secondly, losses had already begun to occur. As the Defense Working Committee in charge of military technology, we naturally received relevant requests from the military.

You have to think of a solution, even if you have to use primitive methods.

The leader of the Defense Work Committee looked at the document, made a phone call and invited the chief engineer of the committee.

The chief engineer came over and the leader handed him the document: "Have you read this? Do you have any ideas?"

The chief engineer nodded. "I see. The situation is very serious. Technically, it is very difficult. For the time being, we can only think of ways to solve it in terms of tactics and techniques. However, when I was reviewing the work of other units, I found something very interesting. In the research content reported by a certain ship research institute, there was content about applying for a ship-based electronic countermeasure system inspired by external technical experts."

The leader of the Defense Work Committee's eyes lit up: "They have already thought of this? Then ask them to come over and report, and see if we can come up with any ideas?"

The chief engineer shook his head. "Don't invite them over for now. They are still in the process of applying and conducting preliminary research. I called them and asked them. Guess what made them suddenly think of doing this?"

The chief engineer looked at the leader of the Defense Work Committee with a mysterious smile on his face.

How the hell did I guess that? The leader thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized, "External technical expert. Looking at you like this, is it because of Gao Zhendong?"

The chief engineer laughed. "I knew you could guess it. One of the people in charge of this is responsible for imitating the guidance system of anti-ship missiles. He learned a lot from Gao Zhendong. During the communication, his classmate found that Gao Zhendong had a lot of ideas about electronic countermeasures, so he asked him to learn from him, and then this application was made."

The leader of the Defense Work Committee also laughed: "What on earth is in this little Gao's head? Well, call and invite the relevant comrades of the Flying Army and Gao Zhendong to come to a meeting immediately!"

At this stage, it is time to come up with ideas and routes, but it is not yet time for specific technical implementation. In this case, it would not be a wrong idea to first call Gao Zhendong over to ask him. It would be much more convenient to ask him than to call comrades from the Ship Research Institute from far away.

Moreover, the people in the Flying Army know their conditions better, and perhaps their ideas can spark more sparks with Gao Zhendong's, and maybe they can come up with some good ideas.

The leaders did not expect Gao Zhendong to be able to solve the problem. This was a bit too demanding, but it was always a way out. It was a good idea to pool ideas and try more.

The leaders of the Defense Committee could not sleep at night because they thought that enemy planes could fly freely in and out of the important areas of Gyeonggi Province. What if they brought something in? Even a grenade would be a big deal.

Moreover, facts have proved that these bastards have no bottom line and no hesitation when launching biological warfare. For example, in the war a few years ago, the carriers such as flies and fleas were all thrown to Jiangbei.

This incident is recorded very clearly in Commander Zhisi's memoir "For Peace".

So he doesn't care about time at all and calls for help immediately. It's good if the problem can be solved one day earlier.

After receiving the call, Gao Zhendong rushed over without stopping. He was used to this kind of thing now. In short, it must be an important matter, and he would not know what it was until he came over.
