In general, the artillery looks majestic, and when the towed artillery is deployed, and then several, more than a dozen guns are fired together, the scene is majestic, and one feels the power of this god of war.

However, if it is evenly matched, artillery is not a good branch of the army, and it is even less safe.

The suppression artillery is deployed in the rear of the front-line position, and it looks so majestic to fire at the target, but as soon as the fire is fired, there is an artillery sighting radar on the opposite side, which quickly calculates the trajectory and determines the orientation of the artillery position that is firing, and then, within a few minutes, the counter-fire will come!

In the border wars in the past few years, the eastern powers used this method, hitting the artillery on the opposite side crying wolf, as long as they fired, they were immediately counterattacked, and the artillery positions were in a mess, so after the fight, they did not dare to open fire, and they were completely suppressed.

Artillery, is to be bombarded by the enemy's artillery, artillery positions on the shells detonated and the like, the consequences are quite miserable, often when the artillery is killed, not even a complete corpse can be found, the find is even more terrifying, the kind of people who were killed by large-caliber artillery, the body is intact, bleeding, the eyeballs are squeezed out.

So, if you want to protect your artillery, you have to have organic power, hit and run!

Therefore, the artillery has gradually begun to change to this self-propelled way, but the chassis that can be equipped with the artillery is mainly tracked.

The contact area of the tracked chassis is large enough that only the tracked chassis can withstand the strong recoil of the gun when fired, and if it is a wheeled vehicle, the recoil is enough to blow all the tires as long as the gun fires.

Therefore, if you want to fire directly from a truck, you have to set up hydraulic outriggers around the same as a crane, and directly connect them to the ground, which will definitely increase the operation time of deployment and recovery, but in any case, it is certainly much better than towing artillery.

Towing artillery is definitely a physical work, to the position, unload the towing artillery, unfold two huge gun legs, put the tires up, do it down, the soldiers of the artillery squad are tired and sweaty, and then, and then shake the cannon by hand, loading and the like, which is not easy, hit a few shots, in order to prevent being counterattacked, they also need to restore the cannon, hang it on the truck and drag it away, if you are in a hurry, maybe a few people push the cannon away, this operation down, almost make people tired.

Truck gun, is a hydraulic leg thing, with the car as the chassis, there is power, maybe you can also engage in a variety of hydraulic assistance, besides, the expansion and the like are omitted, in general, there are still advantages.

"If you want to talk about self-propelled guns, you still have to have a tracked chassis, this is orthodox, you see in the world, where in the world are there artillery with truck chassis?" The person on the side said.

In the world, there has never been, even wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, there is no such way, and everyone expressed doubts about Qin Zhenhua's whimsical idea.

"Yes, there is no one in the world, this is our innovation." Qin Zhenhua said: "It's not because our army has no money, if it does, why bother thinking about this?" ”

The biggest advantage of truck guns is to save money!

Originally, the troops were equipped with towed artillery, and there must be a towing vehicle, and this 155 mm howitzer must have a special tractor, anyway, it is needed, simply combined, for the troops, the procurement cost has not increased much, it is still the procurement cost of towed artillery, but the performance has transitioned to the level of self-propelled artillery!

It's not because we're poor, the poor have to find a way to be poor.

The crawler type is too expensive, even if it is domestic, a set will go to more than two million, in comparison, the truck chassis will not exceed one million, if it is all domestic chassis, it may even be reduced to seven or eight hundred thousand, for the troops, is it not attractive?

Although the protection is definitely not as good as that of the tracked chassis, it is always much better than the towed type, right?

"That's right, the plan you said still has merit." Xie Huimin said: "If you are interested in a machine factory, we are willing to help you do the corresponding matching, we will suffer a loss, and when the time comes, it will be regarded as a product of your machine factory." ”

This guy, old fox! Qin Zhenhua thought secretly in his heart.

After the production is completed, it will take several years to stabilize product quality, reduce costs, and increase the localization rate.

Knowing that we don't have time ourselves, they are just helping to make matching, and they don't take the initiative at all, and they show the same energy as you did when you were working on 120mm self-propelled anti-tank guns.

I secretly scolded a few words in my heart, and I also knew that this plan could only be an idea for the time being, and if there was a chance in the future, a machine factory would really want to make a one.

However, the idea of loading the cannon on the truck has always lingered, and now since you can't do a big one, can you do a small one?

Inspiration appeared so suddenly, this is the difference between a genius and an ordinary person, after Qin Zhenhua put this plan on hold for a while, his mind turned, and he thought of a new plan.

"Since our artillery can't be loaded into trucks, how about loading trucks into guns?" Qin Zhenhua began to flicker again.

"What do you say? What are you kidding, how can a truck fit into artillery? ”

"If a big truck can't be loaded, can't a small truck be able to do it?" Qin Zhenhua smiled and said to Xie Huimin: "This 155 mm caliber howitzer must be very large, on its gun mount, just weld a bracket, you can install an engine, the power does not need to be too strong, a few dozen horsepower is enough, as for mobility, we don't want to run fast on land, the focus is on entering and withdrawing from the position, what do you think?" ”

"This idea can be considered." Xie Huimin became enthusiastic about this method. Because compared with the previous plan, this plan seems to be more relaxed and easier to achieve, not to mention other benefits, just inflating the gas cylinder of the cannon's power transmitter is also a great convenience for the use of the troops. According to the design, the cylinder is inflated at normal times, and it can be used for 100 bombs at a time, although 100 times is enough, but if it can be inflated at any time, it will naturally be better.
