Chapter 1014： One hundred and seven rockets (1/2)
The citizens of Qazvin have been transferred. After all, this is about to become a battlefield. However, there are still hundreds of young boys who stayed and asked to join the army.
Iran is mountainous, and many of the people in the mountainous areas are in fact still in an uncivilized state. For example, their daily life is to carry a shotgun to hunt. Such people are born fighters.
However, in the city, most of the citizens of Qazvin have become civilized people, and many ancient traditions have been lost. For example, they have long abandoned the turban, and they wear it no different from the Western world.
Many of these young guys don't know how to shoot. They are left behind entirely by passion. After accepting them, Mordel did not let them participate in the frontline battle, but let them lead the way.
Yes, they are citizens here, and they are very familiar with the terrain here. They will play an irreplaceable role in the upcoming street fighting.
According to Moder's arrangement, it was to eliminate a large number of Soviets in street fighting. Even if their tank troops came, they would be submerged in their own street fighting. The light weapons they held could hit the side of the tank.
The large number of machine guns equipped in their troops will form a sufficient firepower advantage.
After retreating from the valley, Mordel was about to prepare for street fighting, and now, he suddenly proposed to go out for a sneak attack, and the old weight-bearing generals present frowned.
In the first battle, he was fought very successfully, and Model also established his own prestige. Under normal circumstances, no one would refute him.
However, it is not easy to make a sneak attack.
For the first time, I caught the opponent by surprise. Now, the opponent has obviously learned a lesson and has become cautious. For example, although they are temporarily surrounded outside the city, their sentries have also increased their vigilance. If they want to make a sneak attack, I am afraid that if they do not approach, they will be spotted by the sentry, and then they will be killed by the cavalry.
Leaving the city to attack outside is not a clever idea, and it will even cause greater casualties.
Looking at the expressions of the people around him, Mordel knew what they were thinking, so he could only explain: ”We will not touch the Soviet positions to make a sneak attack. We only set off cold cannons from a distance.”
Let's take a cold shot? The Iranians who were present were taken aback for a moment, and the staff from Germany had already understood what Mordel meant, and all smiled.
Infantry divisions must have sufficient suppressing power. At the same time, they must be light enough to be able to adapt to the fighting of the troops. Therefore, the German infantry divisions are equipped with recoilless guns. This kind of weapon can achieve good suppression firepower. Able to fight tanks.
However, it is a direct-pointing weapon. In many cases, due to the limited range of fire, it cannot be effectively deployed. Therefore, the German infantry division, especially the mountain infantry division, also needs another type of weapon.
Rockets!
The principle of the barrel artillery determines that their barrels should not be too thin, otherwise they will explode. At the same time, the movement during launching is still very large, while the rocket launchers fly by their own power, and the barrels only need thin steel plates. Just do it.
Even, in many cases, rockets can be launched without a barrel, which brings quite a good flexibility!
At the same time, for infantry soldiers, the caliber of the rocket launcher is also very important. The caliber is too large and it is inconvenient to carry, so it can only be put on a car. If the caliber is too small, it will not have enough power and the range will be too close.
