Chapter 397 Is this also a one-time thing? What a pity
At the edge of the Dome Plateau, the soldiers received a batch of new weapons.

When you open the box, it looks like a simple cylinder, but it's hard to tell what it's made of. It's light gray-green in color, with a larger ring at each end. They look similar, but the direction is very easy to recognize.

There is a gap on the forward ring, and behind the gap is a sight.

There is an instruction manual in the box, but there is another instruction manual printed on the barrel. It is just four simple pictures, and there are not even a few words on it. Even if you can't read, you can learn how to use this weapon almost completely based on these four pictures.

A border guard looked at them with envy: "Squad leader, can we practice now?"

He was the bazooka operator in the class. He looked at this thing and it looked like a bazooka, but it was different from the bazooka he used. It was a bit like the old-fashioned bazooka that the veterans who had fought in foreign battlefields talked about.

Old-style rocket launchers. In order to deal with American tanks on foreign battlefields at that time, in addition to using captured rocket launchers, they also urgently used weapons and designs from American and Japanese pirates to make a kind of rocket launcher. They produced more than 3 launchers and 20 rockets, which provided great support for the attack on the enemy.

But that one was a bit of a makeshift one. After the war, when we started the process of standardizing weapons, it was discontinued and retired.

Why is it that this weapon becomes less valuable the more it is used?

But the superior issued it, so I think there must be a reason.

The monitor smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Let it freeze overnight first. This treasure is not prepared for you alone, but for the whole class."

Although it is August, the temperature here is still very low. The Changjian Factory has conducted low-temperature tests, but doing tests and actual trials are always two different things.

The man with the bazooka was puzzled: "This thing looks like a bazooka to me, similar to the oldest bazooka the veteran mentioned. If it's not for me, then who is it for?"

Thinking of this, he became anxious: "Squad leader, you are not going to remove me, are you? That won't do. I am the most accurate shooter of the bazooka in the class."

The squad leader laughed: "Who said we're going to remove you? This weapon is a rocket launcher, but it's different from yours. It's called a disposable rocket launcher. It's thrown away after it's fired. Every comrade in the squad must practice it. You should still be the main rocket launcher!"

The bazooka man then smiled happily: "That's more like it."

After laughing, I felt something was wrong: "That's not right. Everyone has a bazooka, so what do I have to be the main force?"

The squad leader was speechless after being annoyed by the young soldier: "Why don't you just practice both? Let me tell you, this disposable rocket launcher is very powerful. Just read the instructions in the box first."

Seeing that his position as the main rocket launcher operator had not been shaken, the young soldier happily studied the instruction manual in the box.

"Wow, squad leader, this rocket launcher is so powerful! It's twice as powerful as the one we have now! It can also fire 180 meters away!" The rocket launcher operator studied it carefully and discovered that this disposable rocket launcher has other features.

For the old 40mm round, the soldiers still prefer the 180mm penetration, but not the shy 280mm (maximum).

550 versus 180, isn't that twice as much and a little more?

The squad leader looked unconvinced: "Impossible? You must have seen it wrong. This thing is actually not bigger than yours."

The bazooka operator took the instruction manual and pointed it to his squad leader: "It can't be wrong. I'm a bazooka operator. I can't be wrong about bazooka stuff. Can you take a look?"

The squad leader looked carefully and found it was true!
This made him very happy: "It seems that this is our new weapon. Our science is so advanced now."

He doesn't know what science is specifically, but he knows that the development of these things is inseparable from science.

The rocket launcher man immediately felt that his rocket launcher was no longer as powerful as before: "Squad leader, I wish my rocket launcher could be as powerful as this one."

180mm versus 550mm, 100 meters versus 180 meters, it goes without saying which one is better.

The squad leader laughed and joked: "Why don't you stop being a bazooka and use this instead?"

After calculating carefully for a while, the little soldier nodded seriously: "It's not impossible."

The main reason is that the range is too far and the power is too great. He calculated that even if it is heavier, according to the previous way of carrying, the whole class will not be short of a few rounds of bullets. But the flexibility of use is much greater.

If it is a long-distance raid and you have to bring more dry food, the difference between the two is basically the same. You can even bring a gun and rush forward when necessary.

Then he shook his head and said, "Don't think too much about it for now. Tomorrow I'm going to try to learn target shooting. I'm sure I'm better than you. Let's talk about it after I've practiced well. If you can't practice well, then there's no need to talk about anything else."

The young soldier tossed and turned all night in anticipation of the new weapon. Early the next morning, after drill, it was finally time for training with the new weapon.

He excitedly took out the rocket launcher. In fact, all the soldiers in the class were just like him, and none of them was eager to try it.

He is a rocket launcher operator. As the person who is most familiar with the rocket launcher in the whole class, he will undoubtedly be the first to get started. He will learn it himself and then teach it to the whole class.

The little soldier read the complete instructions in the box carefully.

He looked at the anemometer on the roof and saw that the wind speed was less than level 4. The soldier felt a little disappointed. This bullet was the same as his old friend. When the wind speed was not high, he did not need to consider the wind deviation at the full range. However, this range was much longer than his old friend. To some extent, the old 40 round did not need to consider the wind deviation, but it was actually traded for the range.

Not having to make corrections for windage might seem like a good thing, but for him, it meant he couldn't exert his full strength.

He was confident that he would have a high hit rate on fixed targets even in strong winds. After all, he had never wasted any training time before.

This rocket also has a wind correction scale, which makes him more confident.

But if there is no wind, there is no wind. We can't just blow it with our mouths. If we ask the dirty three who are always harassing and harassing the opponent to blow, maybe they can blow such a strong wind. In this matter, our soldiers are really no match for them.

After thinking carefully for a long time, the young soldier carefully picked up the disposable rocket launcher and observed its appearance carefully. It looked normal. Being frozen all night did not cause any impact on the rocket launcher.

He crawled on the ground, shouldered the rocket launcher, and looked through the sight. The view was very clear and the reticle was very distinct.

What a pity! This scope is also disposable. The little soldier felt it was a pity.

I'll go back and play around to see if I can collect a few, they look pretty rare.

But thinking back, he felt a surge of pride in his heart. Such a good thing could be used once?
Suppressing the emotions in his heart, he tried to aim with the scope several times, trying to find the difference in feel between this rocket launcher and his old friend.

It is very comfortable, and the center of gravity is in a suitable position, not "one-sided". If it is one-sided, it will be bad news for shooters who often need to aim for a long time to find the best opportunity.

After careful test aiming several times, he felt it was okay.

"Report, apply for test firing!" He reported to the squad leader in a low voice, but not too loud so as not to alarm others.

Other classes in the company are also learning test firing. What if the rocket launcher operators from other classes hear it and come to grab the first place?
The squad leader looked around as if to guard against thieves, and replied in a low and strong voice: "Approved!"

He didn't ask a question like "Are you sure?" He knew his bazooka well and wouldn't rush into battle if he wasn't sure.

At least 150 meters away, the target area had been cleared long ago, and targets were painted on the stone wall with lime water. It was just a bit of dirt, but it worked.

The little soldier opened the trigger. For transportation, the trigger of the rocket launcher is folded. When the trigger is opened, the safety is also opened.

After taking a look, the little soldier hooked the trigger. The trigger is an electromagnetic trigger, which is more reliable than the piezoelectric trigger in high-altitude and cold conditions.

With a "boom", a rocket flew towards the target area, trailing a long flame and white smoke. If one's eyes were good enough, one could see with the naked eye that the trajectory was slightly curved, showing a bit of a parabola.

Bending is not scary, as long as the bending is repeatable.

At a distance of less than 180 meters, the rocket flew very fast and hit the middle of the target. It was not in the exact center, but was about a few dozen centimeters away from the center. This was not a problem.

"Hit!"

The squad leader, who was observing the target through a telescope, jumped up.

He reached out and patted the young soldier's shoulders a few times: "Well done! Haha, we are the first! Today, I will take your place!"

The army was full of enthusiasm and the spirit of striving for the first place had never disappeared. Seeing that the rocket launcher in the class had won the first place in the company, no matter how small the matter was, the first place was the first place, and the squad leader immediately gave him his reward.

The little soldier rubbed the tip of his nose happily, hehe, he was lazy just because he had the ability.

The other rocket launcher operators who were still groping or aiming around had an annoyed look on their faces, and their squad leader also looked over here with regret.

"Oh no, he got there first again!"

"If only I had looked less often."

"Look at you, hurry up."

"."

The company commander looked over cheerfully and said, "Well done, quartermaster! We'll have an extra dish for the eighth shift today!"

The third platoon leader came over with a proud look on his face and patted the young soldier on the shoulder: "Well done! Make a good summary and teach your comrades in the class as soon as possible."

After saying that, he turned to look at Class 7 and Class 9 and said, "Work harder, or you may need Class 8 to support you later."

Having said that, his face looked happy, as if he had gotten something for nothing.
