19: Subnuclear weapons!

“What kind of weapon is this?”

When Hou Weiguo, the company commander of the guard company, fired this rocket, the entire company was dumbfounded!

The soldiers of the guard company felt the huge shockwave spreading from the mountaintop, and then looked up at the mushroom cloud in the sky.

They even forgot to open fire!

Everyone looked at Hou Weiguo.

Is this really the power of a rocket launcher?

Are you sure his company commander didn't call in bomber air support?

“Why are you all staring at me?”

“Fire!”

“Give me another new type of rocket launcher, that wasn’t enough!”

Seeing that the entire guard company was slow to act, Hou Weiguo couldn't help but roar.

At his roar, all the soldiers instantly came to their senses.

They all used the new Sniper Grenade and Individual Thermobaric Weapon to launch a firepower strike on the designated position.

As the triggers were pulled, 40mm special grenades were fired by the sharpshooters of the guard company into the enemy's bunker muzzles and positions.

Position 662.4 instantly sounded like it was being plowed by artillery fire, with an uninterrupted series of explosions!

In addition, under the leadership of Hou Weiguo, all the soldiers equipped with Individual Thermobaric Weapon also launched a second wave of bombing towards the position.

Peng Lin gave the guard company more than ten Individual Thermobaric Weapon.

This time, they simultaneously shot at the caves and heavy firepower points of Position 662.4.

As more than ten thermobaric bombs whistled out of the barrel, Hou Weiguo immediately lay on the ground.

“Everyone lie down!”

He summarized the last lesson and shouted loudly.

Sure enough, as soon as his voice fell, terrifying shockwaves rushed from the mountaintop position in all directions!

Fire and explosions instantly engulfed the entire Position 662.4!

Pieces of rebar concrete and mountain rock fragments were torn apart by the air current, falling like a rain of lime on the mountaintop!

At the same time, more than ten mushroom clouds converged into an incredibly huge explosion mushroom cloud, rushing towards the sky!

At this moment, if one looked from the foot of the mountain in the distance, one would definitely see a huge explosion and a rapidly expanding mushroom cloud rising into the sky, piercing the heavens!

“My goodness, this isn’t a rocket launcher, it’s clearly a small atomic bomb!”

Hou Weiguo shook off the lime from his forehead, muttering in shock... in the air.

On the Z-5 helicopter.

Even though the previous test firing of an Individual Thermobaric Weapon had already made everyone somewhat alert.

But when more than ten thermobaric bombs simultaneously bombed Height 662.4, General Xu Liyou and others were still shocked by the huge explosion and mushroom cloud!

“What kind of weapon is this new rocket launcher of yours?”

General Xu Liyou looked at Peng Lin and asked in shock.

“Reporting, Chief, this is an Individual Thermobaric Weapon!”

Peng Lin said truthfully.

“Thermobaric bomb?”

“And individual?”

The two operations staff officers beside him almost simultaneously paled in shock.

Everyone naturally knew what a thermobaric bomb was.

A few years ago, when the USA invaded Yue Hou Country, it used bombers to drop thermobaric bombs to bomb Yue Hou Country.

At that time, the Soviet Union was extremely alarmed by the USA' weapon of such immense power.

It even called it a sub-nuclear weapon!

Because compared to nuclear weapons, thermobaric bombs, apart from not having the terrifying radiation, had high temperature, high pressure, and astonishing destructive power during the explosion, almost indistinguishable from nuclear weapons!

Since then, the Soviet Union also secretly included this thermobaric bomb, known as a sub-nuclear weapon, into its research and development scope.

However, a few years passed, and no news of successful research and development came from the Soviet Union.

Of course, facing such a terrifying weapon, the Dragon Country Military was naturally also stepping up its research and development.

But the situation faced by Dragon Country was similar to that of the Soviet Union, and it also failed to solve the storage stability problem of thermobaric bombs.

And now, not only has this sub-nuclear weapon, the thermobaric bomb, been successfully developed by Peng Lin?

And it was also made into individual equipment?

“Individual Thermobaric Weapon!”

“Doesn’t this mean that in the future, a single soldier in our army will have the ability to launch sub-nuclear weapon bombings on enemy positions?”

The operations staff officer on the helicopter suddenly asked Peng Lin with a tense expression.

When this hypothesis was put forward, he was even startled by his own idea!

A single soldier launching sub-nuclear weapon bombings on enemy positions, this is just too crazy!

Peng Lin looked at the operations staff officer and showed an approving expression.

As expected of an operations staff officer who follows General Xu Liyou, his military thinking ability is indeed not comparable to ordinary people.

Because in later generations, when the Individual Thermobaric Weapon was developed, it was actually based on this tactical thinking!

“This is called non-contact strike!”

“That is, as long as enemy infantry or armor expose their positions, our soldiers can carry out long-range bombing with Sniper Grenade and Individual Thermobaric Weapon!”

“No longer need to get close to find opportunities!”

“And in this position, our soldiers are safe!”

Peng Lin explained.

“Non-contact strike…”

General Xu Liyou repeated Peng Lin's words, his face showing a pensive look.

He had to admit that this young man, Peng Lin, had given him too many surprises and unexpected things today.

Moreover, this tactical thinking of non-contact strike was something he had never thought of before.

But it must be said that with the two new weapons, the Sniper Grenade and the Individual Thermobaric Weapon, Peng Lin seemed to have truly made this tactic achievable in war!

In other words, Peng Lin, by virtue of the research and development of new military industries, was actually changing the way infantry fought to a certain extent!

“What a non-contact strike!”

“To put it simply, doesn’t it mean we can hit the enemy, but the enemy can’t hit us?”

“This tactical thinking is indeed worth developing!”

“If it can really be achieved, our infantry's combat capability will surely shock countless people internationally!”

General Xu Liyou gave Peng Lin a thumbs up and smiled.

Subsequently, he ordered the Z-5 helicopter to fire a flare, terminating this live-fire assault exercise!

He was already impatient to go to Position 662.4 to personally inspect it... Ten minutes later, after the smoke dissipated.

A Z-5 helicopter landed on the mountaintop.

As several people walked out of the helicopter, they could still feel a hot sensation on the mountaintop rocks.

As far as the eye could see, scorched earth was steaming with hot air, and withered grass curled into carbon filaments, rustling down.

As for the reinforced concrete fortifications, they collapsed and twisted like melted wax figures!

Under the high temperature of 2500 degrees and the ultra-high pressure at the center like a nuclear bomb explosion, even a fortress could not resist this bombing!

The thermobaric bomb sucked the oxygen out of a hundred-meter radius, and the surface of the mountain rock was covered with vitrified grains!

The shockwave leveled many rocks and trees on the mountaintop, and there were even sporadic flames flickering at the edges of the craters!

All life on the entire mountaintop had been extinguished!

“No wonder thermobaric bombs are called sub-nuclear weapons!”

Observing the scene on the mountaintop position, General Xu Liyou and the others were greatly shocked.

This bombing effect is definitely not achievable by ordinary weapons and shells!
