"Is it a 100 slip on this?" After all, they all came from the tank troops, and they could recognize the equipment at a glance: "This cannon can be mounted on our wheeled chassis?" Aren't you afraid of overturning when you open fire? Yu Shengli asked.

Looking at such a chassis, with a large turret on top, is always a bit nondescript.

The current wheeled chassis is still three-axle, with six tires, and the body is not long.

"Yes, we were also scared, but, anyway, we did research, so we made such a one, in the current test, the car has not been overturned, and the fire control system used on it is our most advanced." Qin Zhenhua introduced.

For the 8*910 project, a machine factory is out of the way, and a lot of new things have been made, and this wheeled assault gun in front of me is an attempt.

This is definitely the first attempt in the country, and in the past, there were absolutely no examples of putting a single large-caliber gun on an armored vehicle!

If this experiment is successful, it will be of great significance, and it will be easier to install this kind of turret on the 8*8 chassis in the future!

For the domestic army, firepower is king, and the more powerful the firepower, the better, even if it is a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, it is expected to have the ability to fight the main battle tank.

Now, standing in front of the chassis of this wheeled assault gun, Qin Zhenhua explained to the two.

"After several comparisons, we decided to use the 100 slide, after all, its recoil is smaller, if it is our latest 105 mm, the recoil is too large, I'm afraid it can't be operated, this 100 slide, compared to our original 69 tank 100 slide, there are some improvements, but the shell and the original 100 slide shell are universal, which minimizes the dependence on logistics."

In the old era, the country used a small range of 100 slips, mainly used in the 69 tank, as an attempt, the armor-piercing ability has been greatly improved, but also some other problems, such as the reduction of the accuracy of shells and so on.

Later, in order to improve the power of this artillery, Qin Zhenhua's father also sacrificed his life, and later, Qin Zhenhua also improved the more powerful armor-piercing projectile and developed this cannon to maturity.

Although it has matured, it has lost the possibility of assembly, after all, in comparison, the performance of the 105 mm gun is better, and the adaptability is also very good, the 69 tank was quickly modified with a 105 mm tank gun, and named the 79 tank, and then the second generation of tanks, also widely used this 105 mm gun, correspondingly, the larger caliber gun used by the third generation of tanks, was also selected to the 105 mm caliber.

And the 100-mm smoothbore gun is already yesterday's obsolete.

And when choosing the loading object of the wheeled assault gun, several comparisons, although the 105 mm gun is better, but after all, its high chamber pressure, large charge also led to a lot of recoil, with the previous 100 mm rifled gun, and felt a bit wasteful, so, after a comparison, I chose this 100 slip, mounted on it, it seems a little different.

Because it is a wheeled chassis with a front-mounted engine, the turret is arranged at the rear of the hull, and the barrel barely sticks out of the body, and the passability is also very good.

"This cannon is mainly used for direct aiming and shooting." Qin Zhenhua said: "Hide it in the position, as long as the enemy's artillery fires, you can immediately counterattack, and when the enemy's counterattack comes, the wheeled assault gun here has run away and withdrawn to other positions." ”

The advantage of the self-propelled chassis is this, run after the fight!

Now, this combat vehicle is just an internal test product of the factory, called a wheeled armored assault gun, and it has not yet been shown to the troops, and the original idea is that if the troops don't want it, they can still export the opportunity, and now, hearing Yu Shengli talk about the situation on the front line, Qin Zhenhua made this decision, simply, send these to the battlefield to test!

To test its performance on the battlefield, it can also get the attention of the army, after the disarmament of a million, the army will also move towards the direction of mechanization, this wheeled chassis vehicle, has its unique advantages, in some aspects, can play a very important role.

Moreover, after the trial in the troops, they were full of praise for the performance of this car, and even made an exception, and could not wait to give it the designation of a Type 87 100-mm 6×6 wheeled armored assault gun.

"This car, do you really want to give it to us for free?" Yu Shengli asked.

"Of course." Qin Zhenhua said: "The battlefield is the best opportunity to test weapons and equipment, so let our assault gun show its power on the battlefield!" ”

"That's great." Lin Zhu said in the back: "It looks good, it is flexible and flexible, and the fire control is advanced, but after all, it is aimed at directly, and on our battlefield, in fact, the demand is more curved firepower." ”

Each has its own advantages, direct aiming artillery, high precision, fast response, naturally the army needs the most rapid counterattack weapon, however, this weapon also has disadvantages, since the direct aiming strike, it can not deal with the hiding enemy.

Of course, tank guns can fire grenades and can also fire indirectly, but this method is not commonly used, and the elevation angle of such guns is not high enough to hit enemies hiding behind mountains with a more curved trajectory.

"If you want to say that it is suitable for mountain warfare, it is still mortars." Yu Shengli said: "It's just that the existing mortars in our country are either too small in caliber and less powerful, or they are inflexible and inconvenient to fight in the mountains." ”

Speaking of mortars, the domestic equipment is somewhat peculiar, in the medium caliber mortar, the mainstream is 82/81 mm caliber, and in the heavy, the general country uses 120 mm mortars, and even some countries have 160/240 mm heavy mortars.

But what about domestic? The number of domestic 120 mm mortars is not large, and even a unique 100 mm mortar is made, why is this?

The 120-mm mortar is too big, too heavy!

The height of the whole gun will exceed one person, two people when loading the tripod, and four people when pushing the cannon, because it is too high, even if it is tilted, the short loader will not be able to reach the muzzle, and there will be an embarrassing situation that he cannot load.

From the point of view of the eastern powers, which attach great importance to detours and intersperses, mortars of 120 mm caliber are too inconvenient, especially for troops that attach importance to mountain combat, and they cannot be equipped. Forced to make a 100 mm nondescript mortar.

However, the power of this 120-mm mortar is quite good, after all, in artillery, caliber is the truth.

"You said mortars, yes, this one is here." Qin Zhenhua pointed to the car next to him.
