Chapter 321: Charizard
At the time of Xiao Weiguo's wedding, Spain in Europe was burning with great war! In the civil war in this country, various great powers are playing games. Both Germany and Italy provided military aid to Franco, and Portugal, under the new dictatorship, sent 8,000 volunteers into Spain to assist Franco's army. The Soviet Union was the largest donor to the republic, providing a large number of aircraft, tanks and artillery. In addition, volunteers from more than 50 countries around the world were organized into international columns to help the Spanish Republican Army fight.
The two sides are now playing inextricably and can be said to win or lose. Both sides have support groups, and the most special thing is that both sides have purchased weapons from the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, the most special weapon of which is the bomber modified from the M30 transport aircraft, and there is a more special model in this bomber, that is, the gunboat aircraft.
In May, it was time for the gunboat machine to be delivered, and the gunboat machine on both sides of the war could be said to be delivered almost simultaneously. The heads of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium sent to both sides to deliver weapons were Felix and Paul. These two young men have now become the backbone of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex.
This time, Felix and Felix went to the side of the republican government with technicians from several companies. When a new weapon is handed over to a customer, the arms company always has to send a few after-sales personnel. Now they have to teach their customers not only how to use these fire-breathing aircraft, but also how to use Vulcan anti-aircraft guns. This time, the M30 bombers airlifted Vulcan anti-aircraft guns and other weapons used by the ground forces.
There are a total of 30 sets of Vulcan cannons shipped this time, and there is not much difference between the Vulcan cannons used by the ground troops and those used on aircraft, except for the different installation methods. Therefore, the M30 gunboat is also very easy to modify, so that it can be delivered in such a short time.
Wait until the technicians have completed the assembly of the ground version of the Vulcan cannon, the customer's representative. Major General Garcia, commander of the Army Air Corps of the Republic, discovered that the so-called ground Vulcan cannon was actually no different from the Vulcan cannon on the gunboat, but there was an extra protective shell. The Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex hopes that both sides of the Spanish Civil War will use this new concept weapon such as the gunboat machine and the Vulcan cannon to achieve more results, and then when these weapons are sold, they can blow the conch for these two new weapons.
It took only one day, with the help of several technicians with the help of mechanics sent by the customer. 30 sets of Vulcan cannons were assembled. All that's left is to teach them how to use the Vulcan cannon, and the gunboat machine. Of course, they can't fly planes, but they can guide the customer's weapon operators to use the Vulcan cannon on the ground or on the gunboat, as for tactics or something, it is up to the customer to explore it themselves, and the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium provides a complete set of manuals, which also contain some gunboat tactics.
So the next day, Major General Garcia sent pilots to take the plane around the sky. See how well the flight performance is. Then fire a few more shots to test whether the gunboat machine works well. Of course, he himself was also very interested in this kind of gunboat machine, so he got on a gunboat machine with Felix. There were a total of 2 gunboat aircraft for this test. There is also an M30 bomber, and there is not much difference in flight performance between the two, but Major General Garcia also wants to see the difference between the two.
Soon, three modified M30 special aircraft were lifted into the air, and Major General Garcia, who was sitting inside, clearly felt that the performance of this aircraft was good. In terms of climb rate and flight speed, it is indeed beyond the reach of most existing transport aircraft. Although that M30 bomber carried 3 tons of bombs. But in terms of flight performance, it is still no different from the M30 gunboat, whether it is climbing or circling.
The next step is to test the power of the Vulcan cannon and machine gun. The first is target shooting. A target with a diameter of 100 meters was drawn on a flat field, and at an altitude of 1,600 meters, two gunboats flew around the target as a lighthouse, and Major General Garcia, under the guidance of Felix, personally went into battle and opened fire on the target below. The trajectory of tracer bullets in the air seems to be the spray of a dragon, and from a distance, the red-hot tracer bullets fired by Vulcan cannons and machine guns look like a rushing and endless river. It was Major General Garcia and others who were on the plane. You can also feel the power of the Vulcan cannon, the sound of the cannon is like a dense rainstorm, and after a while, smoke rises on the ground, and this time a scrapped car and an unusable field cannon are placed in the target to test the strike power of the Vulcan cannon.
Major General Garcia was excited. The Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex really did not deceive people, and the power of the gunboat machine was really amazing, and this shooting proved two points. First, the power of the Vulcan cannon is truly worthy of the name of Vulcan, not only is the firepower dense that no other weapon has, but the power of the cannonball is equally amazing. The scrapped car and the field gun were directly shattered by the dense shells, and it is impossible to have a fuel tank explosion or ammunition detonated after the vehicle caught fire. It turned out to be like this. This fully proves that the power of the Vulcan cannon is indeed beyond doubt.
This time, the two gunboat planes fired a total of 1,000 shells, and in the state of flying around the target, all the shells fired fell into the target, and none missed the target, so it seems that the Vulcan cannon not only has a high rate of fire, but also has a very good sight. Each gunboat can carry 2,000 rounds of shells, which is unmatched in firepower.
Second, the recoil of the Vulcan cannon is also very small, it can be said that there is almost no recoil, which is completely different from the ordinary 20mm Erley anti-aircraft gun, the recoil of that kind of cannon is amazingly large, if it is that kind of gun, the vibration of the entire fuselage is only afraid that it will be very large.
After completing this round of tests, both Major General Garcia and the pilots of the Second Spanish Republic liked this gunboat machine very much! They pestered the technicians, praising this gunboat machine.
Major General Garcia said to Felix: "We are very satisfied with this gunboat machine, you have sent us the most powerful fighter in the world, we want to thank you!" Although Garcia knew that the gunboat was expensive, he thought it was worth the money, and with this gunboat, he thought that the enemy would tremble under the attack of such a fire-breathing aircraft.
Felix smiled: "Serving our customers and thinking about what they think is our purpose. ”
Major General Garcia gave a thumbs up and said, "This kind of plane is amazing, I think it should be called a fire-breathing dragon!" A sharp weapon of the Army Air Corps of our Republic! (To be continued.) )
