Chapter 246: Advanced Rocket Launcher Technology

Zhao Gang frowned in thought: "This is indeed a problem. Although our new weapons are powerful, their numbers are limited, and it is impossible to cover the entire front line. Especially the Cloud Bombs and the Rocket Launcher, there simply aren't enough."

"Right, and there is a lack of effective anti-armor means," Li Yunlong nodded, "No matter how good the infantry is, they can only stand aside when encountering tank groups."

Just then, a Communication Soldier hurried over: "Chief, an urgent report from the northern front. The enemy has dispatched an armored battalion and is assaulting our flank positions!"

Li Yunlong slapped the table: "Look, the Di Guo bastards have really made a move. Pass on my order: deploy two companies of Rocket Launchers to support the northern front; you must hold off the enemy's offensive!"

Zhao Gang was filled with worry: "The Rocket Launcher has limited effectiveness against tanks. We still need to request instructions from superiors to see if some Cloud Bombs can be allocated there."

Li Yunlong shook his head: "Cloud Bombs are in short supply right now; there aren't even enough for the main attack direction, let alone for supporting the flanks. We must notify Li Mingyuan immediately to see if he has any new weapons that can solve our anti-armor dilemma."

On the northern front, the fierce battle was in full swing.

Over a dozen enemy M46 Patton Tanks, under the cover of infantry, launched a fierce attack on the Long Country positions.

The tanks' 90mm main guns roared continuously, blasting one fortification after another into pieces.

"Damn it, these iron turtles are truly troublesome!" A Long Country Company Commander lay in a trench, watching a tank roll over his comrades' position, feeling anxious, "Where are the rocket launcher operators? Quickly take out that damn tank for me!"

"Company Commander, the rocket launchers are all out of ammo! They're completely useless!" A soldier ran over, covered in dirt, to report.

The Long Country army's arsenal did indeed have simple rocket launchers, but they were almost completely ineffective against the enemy's M46 Tank, leaving at most a small dent on the armor.

"Then use hand grenades! Tell the brothers, wait for the tanks to come over and throw them directly into the tracks!" the Company Commander ordered through gritted teeth.

Just when the enemy's offensive was at its most intense, the Long Country's reinforcements finally arrived.

"Rocket Launcher, prepare!" the commander ordered loudly, "Target, enemy tank group, volley fire!"

Over a dozen Rocket Launchers fired simultaneously, and the Rocket Shells flew toward the enemy tanks with a shrill whistle.

Explosions sounded one after another, and smoke filled the air, but when the smoke cleared, most of the tanks remained intact and continued to advance.

"Damn it, the power of the standard Rocket Launcher is not enough!" The commander stomped his feet in anxiety, "Quick, another round, aim for the tracks!"

The rocket launchers fired a volley again; this time, a few tanks were hit in the tracks and stopped in place, spinning around, but the remaining tanks still pressed forward aggressively.

Just like that, both sides engaged in a fierce struggle on the northern front.

Although the Long Country army had a numerical advantage, they felt powerless in the face of armored strength.

The same situation was playing out on the southern front, where the enemy utilized the advantage of tanks and armored vehicles to continuously counterattack the Long Country's two-flank advance.

After several days of fierce fighting, the battlefield situation gradually stabilized.

The Long Country army's main attack direction continued to advance, but the two flanks had fallen into a stalemate.

The entire front line formed a strange "W" shape, with the Long Country army protruding in the middle while the two flanks were pinned down by the enemy.

Inside Li Mingyuan's laboratory, it was a scene of busyness.

"Chief Engineer, another urgent telegram from the front, saying they are in dire need of anti-armor weapons." Lao Liu walked over hurriedly, holding a telegram.

Li Mingyuan looked up from a pile of blueprints, his face full of exhaustion: "I know, the requests for help received over the past few days have almost piled up into a mountain."

Lao Liu sighed: "Although our J-6 and Flying Dragon-2 are powerful, their numbers are too few to cover the entire front line. And they are mainly anti-aircraft weapons, so their effectiveness against ground targets, especially armored targets, is limited."

Li Mingyuan stood up and walked to the large operational map hanging on the wall:

"The enemy has already seen our weaknesses; they are deliberately avoiding our strengths and using our lack of anti-armor weapons to assault our weak links with armored units."

A flash of brilliance crossed his eyes: "But they still underestimated me. Armor? It won't be a problem for long."

Lao Liu leaned in curiously: "Chief Engineer, what new idea do you have again?"

Li Mingyuan pointed to several blueprints on the table: "Advancing in three directions simultaneously. First, we need to strengthen our air power by designing a Bomber specifically for supporting ground troops."

He picked up the first blueprint, which showed a design sketch of a twin-engine bomber:

"This is the 'H-5' light Bomber, with a maximum payload of 3 tons and a range of 1500 kilometers, capable of providing precise bombing support for the front line. It is especially effective against enemy tank clusters."

Lao Liu looked at the blueprint in surprise: "This... you have already designed it?"

Li Mingyuan smiled: "The preliminary design is complete, but it still needs further refinement. The key is that we must design it to be as simple as possible to facilitate rapid production."

He picked up the second blueprint: "The second direction is electronic warfare. I plan to modify a J-6, install an SCR-584 Radar System, and build a mobile electronic warfare platform."

Lao Liu looked blank: "SCR-584? What is that?"

Li Mingyuan explained: "This is an advanced Radar System covering the 200Hz frequency band, which can effectively interfere with enemy communications and Radar detection. With this, we can not only grasp the enemy's movements but also interfere with their command systems, causing their tank units to fall into chaos."

Lao Liu was dumbfounded: "Chief Engineer, are you saying... our planes can make the enemy's tank units 'blind'?"

"That's right," Li Mingyuan nodded, "Without Radar and communication support, the coordinated combat capability of the enemy's armored units will be greatly reduced. This is the power of technology."

"Then what about the third direction?" Lao Liu couldn't help but ask.

Li Mingyuan smiled mysteriously: "Anti-armor weapons. The enemy thinks we only have those crude rocket launchers? Soon, they will witness the true 'tank killers'."

As he was speaking, Li Mingyuan suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, and a series of strange yet familiar images appeared before his eyes—complex mechanical structures, ballistic calculation formulas, gunpowder formulas...

Li Mingyuan took a deep breath and recovered from this strange state.

His brain was filled with a lot of knowledge that hadn't existed a second ago, as clear as if he had always known it.
