Chapter 532: Armored Fighting Vehicles
After the founding of the Chinese Empire, the domestic economy developed in an orderly manner. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 INFO military enterprises are developing rapidly.
While strengthening the building of the navy, Chen Zhong also began to put forward new requirements for the improvement of the equipment of the land units.
In Chenzhong, the army's equipment is also in urgent need of adjustment.
The rapid rise of the Chinese Empire is bound to attract the attention of European countries. This will inevitably lead to a huge challenge for the Chinese Empire.
Without a strong army, the Chinese Empire would face a threat from a number of countries in the northwestern part of the Eurasian continent.
Therefore, in addition to the construction of its own quality, the army of the Chinese Empire must have the world's first-class equipment in terms of weapons and equipment in order to cope with more fierce wars in the future.
When Chen Zhong talked to Ling Feng about the improvement of the army's weapons, he mentioned that the purpose of designing weapons was to protect oneself and then destroy the enemy.
Hatred and hatred, hatred, and hatred, and strange ghosts
This kind of armored combat vehicle, of course, is familiar to Chen Zhong. However, for Ling Feng in this era, it will feel extremely unfamiliar.
Before the crossing, Chen Zhong did some research on armored fighting vehicles during World War I and World War II while studying at West Point.
As early as the late 19th century, the Englishman J. Cohen installed a machine gun and armor on the chassis of a steam tractor, made a wheeled armored car, and obtained the right to patent it. But such armored vehicles failed to be put into practical use.
Later, the British, Simms, installed armor and a machine gun on a four-wheeled car. And began to be applied to warfare.
These were early wheeled armored fighting vehicles. The limitations are very large.
Later, the British developed tracked and wheeled armored transport vehicles.
This type of vehicle had light armor and a machine gun, and could carry a part of the soldiers.
The on-board armor of this armored vehicle allows the soldiers in the vehicle to avoid damage from bullets, and in battle, increases the charging ability of the troops and reduces the casualties of the troops.
If the troops are massively equipped with such armored carriers, they will definitely achieve excellent results in war.
If equipped with an infantry army, the armored transport vehicle will significantly increase the infantry's mobile combat ability, and since the infantry can attack in vehicles, this will greatly increase the infantry's attack power.
Therefore, in view of the advantages of armored transport vehicles in the war, Chen Zhong decided to equip the army of the Chinese Empire with armored transport vehicles before World War I, and gradually realize the mechanization of the imperial army.
Ling Feng, Minister of Industry, said: "Your Majesty, before talking about this armored combat vehicle, the minister wants to explain something. ”
Chen Zhong said: "What's the matter? Anything about West Asian oil? ”
"No, Your Majesty, one thing the minister wants to say is that the current Ministry of Industry has too many things. In order to play the role of the Ministry of Industry more efficiently, the minister believed that the industrial part should be divided into the General Administration of Civil Industry and the General Administration of Military Industry.
In this way, after the industrial part is divided into two departments, military and civilian, they will be able to do their own professional things more effectively. ”
"That's good, I've been thinking about it lately. You go back and get ready, and report the materials. Do it now. ”
Ling Feng said: "Okay, the minister will send these materials to the emperor recently." ”
Chen Zhong took out the drawings of the armored fighting vehicle, put it in front of Ling Feng, and said: "Minister Ling, you are all about the design drawings of the armored vehicle, you can organize a group of people to produce it specifically for the armored combat vehicle." ”
Ling Feng was still not very familiar with the armored combat vehicle, and after taking out the drawings, he was puzzled.
The feud is far from cool, and the ball catches the lonely lord Mok
Ling Feng really wondered, where did the emperor get these exquisitely designed weapon drawings?
Chen Zhong said: "Minister Ling, your son, the armored transport vehicle is a new type of military weapon.
Sun Yuanqiu is not cool, Sun hates the war, and the main star is troubled
Although Britain already has some of these armored vehicles, they are not yet mature and have not been fully applied to actual warfare.
So what is an armored transporter, in short, a light armored vehicle with a carrying compartment.
This kind of armored vehicle is mainly used to transport infantry on the battlefield, and can also transport materials and equipment.
It has a high degree of mobility with a certain protection and firepower, and at the same time, can be used in combat. There are two types: crawler type and wheeled type.
If the troops have these armored vehicles, then the army of our Chinese Empire can barely be called mechanized infantry units.
At the moment, not a single country has begun to develop such equipment for mechanized troops.
Due to the high cost of construction and maintenance of full-tracked vehicles, in order to match the speed of movement and cross-country ability of the vehicle, half-tracks with protective armor will still become the most common type.
In order to resist the threat of war, armored personnel carriers can be made of heavy vehicles such as closed bodies, and fight together with the infantry, and the combat effectiveness of the infantry will be greatly increased. ”
Ling Fengqian's drawings pondered for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the overall design of the production and development of this armored vehicle should be mainly reflected in the design goals of the vehicle.
As far as the design on the current drawings is concerned, the ministers are basic.
The arrangement and installation of the rear cabin equipment of this armored transport vehicle mainly fully consider the engineering and technical design of "one man, one machine and one ring" to meet the requirements of use in the specified combat environment.
The interior of the body of the armored transport vehicle is divided into a cab, a commander's room, a crew room, a transmission room and a power room.
The roof of the cab was equipped with a periscope directly in front of it, and the periscope was equipped with an anti-frost device.
The driver's seat can be adjusted as needed. There is a commander's window at the top of the cabin that rotates in all directions.
The enemy is far away, and Sun Shu is not cold from the lonely enemy
In front of the commander's window was equipped with a command periscope. It is for the commander. ”
Chen Zhong said: "Yes. An armored transport vehicle, which is mainly composed of an armored vehicle hull, weapons, propulsion systems, observation instruments, electrical equipment, communication equipment, devices, etc. Vehicles are usually equipped with machine guns, and some are equipped with small-caliber machine guns.
The combat weight of most armored transport vehicles is 6~16 tons, the length is 4.5~7.5 meters, the width is 2.2~3 meters, the height is 1.9~2.5 meters, the crew is 2~3 people, the carrying capacity is 8~13 people, the maximum climbing degree is 25~35 degrees, and the maximum roll driving slope is 15~30 degrees.
The maximum speed of the tracked armored transport vehicle on land is 55~70 kilometers per hour, and the maximum travel is 300~500 kilometers.
The wheeled armored transport vehicle can reach a maximum speed of 100 kilometers per hour on land and a maximum range of 1,000 kilometers.
The width of the tracked and four-axle driven wheeled armored transport vehicles is about 2 meters, and the height of the vertical wall is 0.5~1 meters.
The enemy is far away and the ball is lonely
Most armored transport vehicles can travel on water, paddling with tracks or tires, and the maximum speed is about 5 kilometers per hour. Equipped with propellers or waterjet propulsion units, the maximum speed can reach 10 kilometers per hour. ”
After the founding of the Chinese Empire, the domestic economy developed in an orderly manner. Military enterprises are developing rapidly.
Ling Feng said: "Your Majesty, with these drawings, we basically have no problems, and after we successfully produce the first armored car in the true sense, we can carry out mass production, and within two years, our army units can basically complete the construction of mechanization." ”
