Yoshiko Kawashima said: "Do you want to ask what type of artillery the mysterious weapon used by the Chinese army on the Yinjiang battlefield?"

"Yes." Okamura Yasuji said, "I have never been sure of the origin of this mysterious artillery. Even if I launch the Second Yinjiang Battle, it is difficult for the Imperial Army to win."

Usa Mirō couldn't help asking: "Have the intelligence personnel lurking in Yinjiang responded?"

"I am very sorry that the intelligence personnel lurking in Yinjiang have not discovered anything yet." Kawashima Yoshiko shook her head, "The intelligence personnel lurking in the top Chinese in China cannot obtain any useful clues."

"Nani?" Usa Mitsuro said, "No discovery?"

Just as Okamura and the other two were disappointed, Yoshiko Kawashima smiled slightly and said, "However, intelligence personnel far away in the United States have made very important discoveries."

"Is that?" Usa Mitsuto said with a refreshed spirit, "What discovery?"

Yoshiko Kawashima didn't say much, but just handed a piece of paper to Mitsunobu Usa.

Usa Mitsuki took the paper from Yoshiko Kawashima and found a sketch on it.

A weapon was drawn in hand-painted on the sketch. This weapon was in a tubular shape, very similar to the mysterious artillery used by the Chinese army in the Yinjiang battlefield described by the imperial soldiers on the front line.

"It's this." Hinata Shia said even more affirmatively, "It's this thing!"

Okamura Yasuji also came over and said thoughtfully: "What is this weapon called?"

"This weapon is called a bazooka," Yoshiko Kawashima replied. "Because it looks like a musical instrument, it is also called a bazooka. It is now a US Army-based equipment."

"Battlehot?" Okamura Yasuji said, "Do you know the approximate technical parameters?"

Yoshiko Kawashima paused slightly and replied: "The diameter of the Bazuka rocket launcher is 60mm, 1350mm long and weighs about 3 kilograms. The rocket is about 500mm long and weighs about 2 kilograms. Its effective range is about 100 meters. It is said that within this effective range, it can easily penetrate steel plates with a thickness of about 150mm!"

"Nani? Can penetrate 150mm steel plate?!"

When Okamura Yanji and the other two suddenly changed their faces slightly when they heard this.

You should know that most tanks of this era have only a few dozen millimeters in front of the armor, and there are almost no tanks with armor exceeding 100mm thick. For example, the Type 95 and Type 97 tanks equipped by the Japanese army are only a dozen millimeters of armor. This means that they cannot withstand the attack of this kind of Bazukka rocket.

After a while, Okamura Yasuji said: "Miss Yoshiko, is the information reliable?"

"Yes, the intelligence is absolutely reliable." Yoshiko Kawashima said, "The intelligence team lurking in the United States has repeatedly confirmed it, and even got a Bazuka bazooka for live ammunition testing."

"Baga." Hinata Shimiya couldn't help but swear, "It's so troublesome now."

A strange look appeared in Usa Mitsuto's eyes, and he said to Okamura Nagaji: "Commander, the emergence of this individual weapon is likely to make a subversive innovation in the combat methods of infantry."

Okamura Yanji nodded slightly, and looked at Usa Mitsutsuka with unconcealed appreciation.

Because of the same problem, Hinata Shiaki only saw difficulties, but Usa Mitsuru saw opportunities.

Yes, the Bazuka rocket launcher suddenly appeared on the Chinese battlefield, which was definitely a big trouble for the Japanese invading China, but on the other hand, this may be an opportunity for the Japanese army!

Because the resources were too poor, the Japanese Army's military establishment guidelines were forced to save costs from the beginning, so individual weapons gave up their automatic firepower, and the chariot troops that required a large amount of steel were repeatedly compressed.

Such military-building guidelines have resulted in the extremely weak armored forces of the Japanese Army, and they will be very passive when facing the Soviet army with strong armored forces.

The Zhanggufeng incident a year ago and the Battle of Nomenkan that just ended not long ago, the reason why the Kwantung Army was defeated was mainly because of the Soviet armored forces.

According to the analysis of the war report of the Kwantung Army, the tactical thinking of the Soviet Red Army was actually very backward, and its individual combat effectiveness was not high, at least it was significantly worse than that of the Japanese army. However, because of the armored troops with absolute advantages, the officers and soldiers of the Kwantung Army could only use bayonets to fight with Soviet tanks, and the result was also imagined.

At this moment, Okamura Yasuji said to Yoshiko Kawashima: "Miss Yoshiko, please send someone to send this information to the Kanto Army as soon as possible. I think General Mijiro Umezu will thank you very much."

"Uh, OK." Yoshiko Kawashima hurriedly said, "I will send someone to the Kanto Army as soon as possible."

Usa Mitsuru said: "Miss Yoshiko, we also want to thank you. This time you really helped our 13th Army!"

At this time, Hinata Shimiya finally reacted and rushed to say: "Although this information is very simple, from the perspective of design ideas, the technology requirements of this weapon are actually not high, and this weapon can be built even with the Yinjiang Arsenal. With the industrial strength of the empire, imitation is even more difficult."

He paused for a moment and continued: "Once the copy is successful, the empire can be manufactured in large quantities. At that time, the various divisions of the Imperial Army can equip this rocket launcher in large quantities. By then, the battlefield situation will become easier, and the demise of China will enter the timeline."

"Not necessarily." Usa Mitsuru poured another basin of cold water.

"Not necessarily?" Hinata Shiaki said in surprise, "What does it mean?"

Usa Mirō said: "This rocket launcher is miraculously effective for dealing with armored targets, but it is not very useful for dealing with the Chinese army that lacks armored power. Of course, equipping the rocket launcher is always more beneficial than not. Not to mention anything else, at least it can suppress the rocket launcher of the Chinese army."

"It's true." Hinata Shiaki thought for a moment and then figured it out, looking disappointed.

However, Okamura Yasuji said to Yoshiko Kawashima again: "Miss Yoshiko, although the secret of the rocket launcher has been cracked, it is also true that you failed to penetrate Yinjiang. As a professional intelligence agency, this is very unfair. So after returning, I hope your Kawashima agency can carefully summarize, improve work, and strive to open up the situation from the intelligence front."

"Hayi." Yoshiko Kawashima paused her head and said, "Your Excellency Commander, then I will say goodbye first."

"Go back." Okamura Yasuji waved his hand, then watched Kawashima Yoshiko's graceful figure disappear outside the door.
