Chapter 1682: The Army's Cold Reception

After the 107 mm and 207 mm caliber rocket artillery is determined, and one is used as the firepower below the battalion level, and the other is used as strategic firepower, this rocket artillery has been basically finalized, and the research and development steps have entered the end. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

According to China's weapons research and development system, weapons are studied by the research laboratory, can be independently studied, can also be commissioned by the military research, rocket artillery from the very beginning, is a project promoted by Yang Yuanzhao, the military has no intention of purchasing, especially after the last exercise, even more so, with Feng Yuxiang and other high-level basically, the road to the military has been blocked, so it still needs to be promoted.

Under the leadership of Yang Yuanzhao, the production enterprises and research institutes were ordered to quickly produce 200 rocket artillery vehicles, as well as 2400 rockets, too few are not good, for rocket artillery vehicles, one by one does not have much effect, this thing, the accuracy is not high, but the covering power is powerful, in just 10 seconds, the speed of launching 12 rocket launchers, which is far from being comparable to ordinary heavy artillery, the most important thing is that as long as the loading is completed, the rocket artillery can endure the need to the least extent, and even in some cases, A single button is enough to solve the problem, at most adjust the bearing and range, and once this is done, the rate of fire is extremely fast, forming a huge covering fire in a short time.

This is a strategic weapon, under the flexible use, for the armored troops, have a huge lethal effect, 55 kg of combat parts, plus a heavy body, of which more than 4 percent is fuel, when hitting the target, as long as the fuel is not completely used up, fuel is also explosives, high speed plus explosion, the lethal effect produced, far more powerful than ordinary shells, the most critical is coverage, a division of heavily guarded troops, a coverage, may be launched after a fire, you can not see, Heavy armored units on the move, maybe heavy tanks can withstand this attack if they don't hit it directly, but what about the rest, what about the numerous light tanks, armored vehicles, and even motorized infantry.

These protective forces are far inferior to heavy armor forces, as long as they are covered by a salvo of rocket artillery, there is only one result, rocket artillery can successfully kill most of the motorized infantry, most of the light armor, and the only heavy armor left, will also be covered, and will be hit hard, and the blow to an armored force is huge.

The Chinese army attaches great importance to weapons, and the tank has become the first weapon of the army with its excellent performance, which has both firepower and speed, and also has a strong protection, among the current Chinese weapons, unless strategic bombers are used, carpet bombing, it cannot be dealt with, but strategic bombers, that is an absolute big killer, whether it is this era, or later generations, are incomprehensible, the air force must be able to deal with the air force, even in modern society, the bombing of strategic bombers, for the armored forces is also a nightmare-like existence.

From beginning to end, the main opponent of the armored force is not the air force, although the armored force is equipped with a certain number of air defense weapons, but these air defense weapons only avoid strategic bombers and aircraft dive bombing, not to avoid bombing, the real deal with the strategic air force, is the fighter escort, so the armor can only be in the angle of specialization, go further, but now, there is another one, strategic rocket artillery strike, once the salvo is completed, the armored force can not escape the coverage of these strategic rocket artillery.

The production task has been issued, with China's huge processing capacity, the production of so much equipment, this is not a problem, the next is to sell to the army, I thought it was a very easy to solve the problem, the advantages of rocket artillery are very obvious, whether it is 107, or 207, there are advantages in use, flexible use, the effect is amazing.

Yang Yuanzhao needs to deal with a lot of things, it can be said that there are thousands of opportunities, because of the importance of rocket artillery, he spent a lot of time and energy, on rocket artillery, he thought it was a simple thing, but he didn't expect that he encountered a problem, and soon, the news came back, and the research institute was in accordance with the usual practice, when selling such a weapon to the army, it was given a cold reception by the army, and the army refused to enter the service of rocket artillery, and did not even have the opportunity to explain and display.

The reason is very simple, in the previous exercise, the rocket artillery had already left a deep impression on Feng Yuxiang and others, but the advantages were very prominent, the disadvantages were equally prominent, the coverage was too large, and in the coverage range, the degree of attack was extremely uneven, coupled with the slow speed, such a weapon was at most in some special troops, small batches of equipment, and later knew the price, these military high-level officials were not interested.

This made Yang Yuanzhao unexpected, he rarely organized exercises, but every time he organized, it was a big killer, from tanks, armored vehicles, aircraft, aerial bombs, to bazookas, a series of things that changed the world, all in the exercises, with a real effect, proved this, among Yang Yuanzhao's many choices, it was not without failure, some equipment that exceeded this era, the performance at the beginning of the 20th century was not good, or there was no target target, at most as a technical reserve, in the view of Feng Yuxiang and others, This is another of the few unsuccessful examples of Yang Yuanzhao, just put this away, maybe when, it will be able to come in handy, Yang Yuanzhao's previous achievements show this.

Now, to sell rocket artillery again, but to make up for the previous shortcomings, for example, the price is cheaper, to meet the needs of the installation, but the Chinese Army has always been to artillery as the king, all kinds of caliber artillery fire, has developed to the extreme, the most famous is 155, 108 and 75, all in the same caliber, the same weight of the premise, to the extreme, on the basis of having superior artillery, even if the performance of rocket artillery is improved, that is, with artillery explosion, such repeated investment, in the army is a waste.

Knowing the thoughts of Feng Yuxiang and others, Yang Yuanzhao was a little dumbfounded, it is true that rocket artillery has never been a large-scale conventional weapon, and there are many conditions for equipping it, but it does not mean that rocket artillery is the same grade as artillery, it seems that it is necessary to use a special method to show the efficacy of rocket artillery, so that the rocket artillery can really enter the sequence of the military, otherwise, under Yang Yuanzhao's executive order, even if this rocket artillery enters the sequence of the military, It is also not taken seriously, which is very contrary to his previous thoughts. It was this kind of thinking that made Yang Yuanzhao change his mind of letting the people below arrange the exercise, and he spent most of the day to find enough personnel and arrange a drill, a unique exercise that shocked everyone.

At the army training ground, the exercise proposed by Yang Yuanzhao personally received the attention of many people, but Jiang Baili, Feng Yuxiang, and some of the high-level army officials who participated in the exercise last time were not present, and only a small number of people came to the exercise ground with the mentality of taking a look.

Feng Yuxiang and the others did not arrive, to a certain extent, so that the officer in charge of the exercise was slightly disappointed, but soon, he thought of Yang Yuanzhao's guidance, especially the 107 rocket artillery, which is flexible in use and is an important supplement to the firepower below the battalion level of the army, as long as it shows the performance of this weapon, it will inevitably be recognized.

Regarding the weapons of the exercise, among the high-ranking officers, they also know that it is a new type of artillery, because in the most important area of the exercise, part of the armor of the exercise materials is arranged like a tank, and the other part is a defensive position, which is at the regimental level, which seems to show the ability of such an artillery to attack armored forces and fixed positions, but the Chinese 155 artillery is already quite powerful, so why do you want to do this.

Everyone is almost skeptical, in a sense, China's artillery is quite powerful, it stands to reason that there should be no epoch-making weapons, in this case, let them be a little embarrassed, if it is only a little stronger than 155, for them, it is a bit of a chicken rib, the army's firepower is already strong enough, no matter how powerful, it is not enough to change the state of artillery, in their opinion, the army no longer needs any firepower, but mobility and flexibility, Will this weapon be up to the mark?

Some of the more well-informed personnel, and even heard the evaluation of the last exercise before, have some general understanding of the performance of this weapon, the rate of fire is fast, but it is not easy to reload, but it forms a short-term covering firepower, once this coverage can not show the effect,

This weapon cannot continue to cover firepower, and even within the range of artillery of the same caliber, the protection ability of this artillery cannot be compared with artillery of the same caliber, this absolute offensive strength and defense are weak, and there are even problems with the loading of artillery, whether it is necessary to join the army.

This problem is an important issue, according to the high-level view, this is the most advantageous place of rocket artillery, but also a problem that he cannot solve, no one can only fight a tailwind battle, rocket artillery is a bit like a weapon icing on the cake, under the premise of occupying an absolute advantage, this kind of rocket artillery can be used, but when it is a tough battle, it cannot be used, this kind of weapon, whether it is necessary to equip the Chinese army, can only fight a tailwind battle, the icing on the cake, not the basic combat effectiveness, a tough battle, Such a weapon is a little too one-sided.
