Chapter 1675: Failed Drills
The next day, the weather is still fine, into the winter of Baotou, the climate is relatively dry, less rain and snow, but recently, along with afforestation, to give more humidity to the northwest, rain and snow a little more, but still in the slow growth, even for most people, just a feeling, only the data of meteorologists show the specific proportion.

Rocket artillery vehicles are large equipment, it is impossible to be in the test site of individual equipment and firearms, the firing range is 60 kilometers away, and the ordinary off-road armored training ground is also unlikely, and the long-range self-propelled howitzer exercise site is specially used, when Yang Yuanzhao arrived, Jiang Baili and Feng Yuxiang have already arrived, along with the strength of China, the big brother army to a certain extent, there is not much use, the battle of Australia, may be the last battle, unless it is attacked by the opponent into the country, otherwise the army is at most only defensive operations, Even at present, the battle of Hawaii, which has attracted everyone's attention, has only used one armored division, and most of the island battles are completed by the marines.
Although in the future, the army may participate in very few wars, but the huge army is still China's military strength, not to mention the smallest of the three major branches of the navy, only 1.6 million people, including 700,000 marines, the air force has just passed the 2.5 million air force, or after the large-scale equipment of heavy bombers, this number has passed, but the army, as early as 1915, has exceeded 8.5 million, and there are at least 7 million reserve troops, once needed, It can be raised to 15 million at any time, and it is a veritable big brother.
The most important thing is that the army is actually the source of the navy and air force, except for a small number of soldiers, most of the backbone forces come from the support of the army, and without the army to provide a large number of troops to the navy and air force, the navy and air force want to be established, which is quite difficult.
After a brief chat with Jiang Baili and Feng Yuxiang, Feng Yuxiang also focused on stabilizing the role of this rocket artillery vehicle, after all, it looks like a very strange thing, it is a large truck, with more than a dozen pipes, no protection, and the mobility can not be seen, but with the great rise of tracked armored vehicles and tanks, the mobility of wheeled vehicles is not as good as that of large tracked vehicles.
Although Yang Yuanzhao knows the role of the rocket artillery vehicle in later generations, it is difficult to say whether this new one can achieve the effect of later generations, with a critical eye, after Yang Yuanzhao saw the rocket, it was similar to the ceremonial flowers of later generations, with a pointed head, a cylindrical body, thick and a cannon barrel are very similar, but when he saw the loaded rocket, he suddenly found that this rocket did not have the tail of the later generation of rocket artillery, he was a little strange, but he didn't say anything.
When the personnel arrived, the rocket artillery vehicles quickly drove out, they are not the vehicles of the exercise, the real exercise vehicles are more than 70 kilometers away, and there are also 10 vehicles, they will fire rocket shells to the area of this shooting range, and they will hit the target area 10 kilometers away from them, the range of this rocket artillery vehicle,
After watching the performance, the 10 rocket artillery vehicles, with a total of 120 launch tubes, can explode in an area of less than 500 meters when the firing range is reduced to about 60 kilometers, which is the most powerful area for them, which not only ensures that the leaders watching the exercise can see clearly, but also ensures safety.
Sure enough, when the time came, after these rocket artillery vehicles left, 6 red signal flares rose into the air, in silence, hundreds of fire balls suddenly appeared in the area of sight, and then moved quickly, rocket engines and liquid fuel, different from the muzzle velocity of artillery with the help of gunpowder, after they obtained a certain muzzle velocity, in the process of flight, will continue to accelerate, 450 kg as a whole, most of the fuel will burn in the air, and then the rocket will become lighter and lighter, Then the speed will increase until it falls.
The distance of 60 kilometers may only be a few minutes for a rocket engine, and it seems to be a little faster than artillery shells, and in the special bunkers and observation posts, they can clearly see the area of the shooting range with high-powered telescopes, and there are a series of illusions, and even some live creatures such as pigs and cows, which are used to determine the lethal target.
After a few minutes of waiting, more than 100 rockets fell unevenly, 30 kilograms of high-intensity combat parts, plus surplus fuel, 120 rockets, concentrated in an area of 500 meters and exploded, immediately blowing up those places beyond recognition, the power was large enough, after the smoke cleared, most of that area was attacked, only a very few, no rockets covered.
It looks very lively, and most of the army officers who came with them looked quite satisfied, but Jiang Baili, Feng Yuxiang and some of them who knew artillery, frowned slightly, such a weapon, obviously, it is impossible to shoot as accurately as artillery fire, flying out of 60 kilometers away, the possibility of accurate design is not too large, but this deviation is a bit large, and some areas are attacked very violently, on the northwest side, a series of large craters have almost been blown out, but it is not an area of imaginary target cheats, It's just a few living bodies and trenches, which have been basically destroyed, but at the other end, they are basically preserved, and only some unprotected targets have been hit relatively hard.
Even if it is a weapon of range attack, it should not be like this, a chaotic attack, really used on the battlefield, it is difficult to rely on luck, if you spend a lot of effort to get out of the weapon, you can only rely on luck, really when you use it intensively, there is a deviation, and it does not hit the main target, what is the effect of such a weapon.
Jiang Baili glanced at the young officer who was still discussing enthusiastically, shook his head, and asked, "Person in charge, is this bullet point uncontrollable, the deviation is too big!" ”
The person in charge of the project, after the rocket fell, knew that it was not good, the test that had been done before, the bullet point did not hit like this, the unbalanced situation was there, but it was not too prominent, which made him unable to explain, especially the question from Jiang Baili, so that he could not explain, his mouth opened, but he couldn't say a word, although the first experiment was not favored by the military, and finally entered the military bidding a lot, but all of them were not the equipment of the main force, and the vision of the rocket artillery vehicle was to be used as a key weapon, Entering the sequence of the main force, it even requires a certain amount of procurement to be able to support the previous consumption and the next modification, and now, it seems to be a little too slim.
"Okay, it's just an experimental weapon, some omissions are inevitable and can be changed!" After Yang Yuanzhao qualitated this exercise, it was considered to announce the end of this exercise, Yang Yuanzhao was still optimistic about this weapon, so that the person in charge of the heart hung high, put it down for the time being, no matter what, it is always good to have the support of the big financier.
Even those young military personnel who did not see the loopholes in the rocket artillery, when Jiang Baili raised questions, some understood the weak links of this type of rocket artillery, these are all things in front of them, which they cannot refute, and the rocket artillery project team did not say anything and sent the military personnel away.
After the military personnel left, the whole project team was a little emotional, it took a long time, and finally went through the step-by-step research process, after moving towards the real thing, but I didn't expect such a result, the average coverage and more accurate, this is not what the researchers like, they are looking at the range and large range, and the area that can be narrowed down, but whether the attack power of this area is average, it depends on the probability.
This is the difference between researchers and the military, in the eyes of researchers, this is already a good product, but in the eyes of the military, there is a huge loophole, this loophole, not even enough to make this weapon into the military sequence, this is a slap in the face for experimenters.
No matter what, the experiment was done, the exercise was over, and the good and bad had to be summarized, and when the entire experimenter made a summary, Yang Yuanzhao also accessed, and clearly proposed, why not install the tail.
This is Yang Yuanzhao's keenest feeling after seeing the real thing, with his understanding of the rocket, whether it is a rocket or a missile, there is a tail responsible for balance, this tail on the one hand, can make the missile or rocket, in the same state, fly farther, on the other hand, also make certain adjustments to the balance, so that the flight height is more controllable.
Yang Yuanzhao only briefly mentioned it before, and did not get too involved in the production of the rocket, he thought that it was a very simple thing for the rocket to have a tail, but he didn't expect that such an important part, no, Yang Yuanzhao directly mentioned this, and asked the researcher to modify this aspect.
Tail, this thing, they seem to have entered a misunderstanding of thinking, has been ignored, they are walking the traditional rocket, there is no tail, and they have come all the way from the middle, even when the rocket error is the largest, they are more in the calculation method to find the reason, rather than proposing to install the tail, the role of being able to fly in the flying object, is to stabilize the role of balancing aerodynamic forces, such as airplanes, and for example, earlier bows and arrows, that is, after the strength of the bow and arrow increases, and the performance is improved, That's when tailless arrows appeared, but that's something less common. Yang Yuanzhao's simple mention made these researchers open up a new idea, and along this line of thought, countless whimsical ideas came out. (To be continued.) )
