The GW-VIII "Mouse", or Mouse self-propelled gun, uses a similar design concept to the WT series, but with a slight difference that the WT series can be reloaded by some machines while being able to reload with a single soldier, but this thing is equipped with a bulldozer-style multi-purpose reloading vehicle for ammunition reloading.

This is because this thing uses a modified version of the KARE "Karl" self-propelled mortar, the FHS-VIII-MODII-600mm-L30 super-heavy howitzer.

Naturally, 600mm shells cannot be loaded by manpower.

So, excluding the engine fuel tank and the like, the rear part of this thing is almost always the warhead position.

The base of the gun is located a little behind the hull, and behind it is a transport pipe that balances the recoil and assists in reloading.

In a sense, the total weight of this bomb delivery pipe is only one-fifth less than the weight of the turret of a mouse tank.

It is also important to note that the base and the ammunition delivery pipe are a whole that can retract with recoil, because there is a small four-track electromagnetic guide in the middle of the warhead.

Suffice it to say that the GW-VIII "Mouse" is actually more inclined to be a combination of a modified chassis of a mouse tank plus a six-hundred-mm railgun.

Under such a design, the horizontal firing angle of the GW-VIII "Mouse" is only ±10 degrees, which is a total of 20 degrees, and at the same time, because the warhead floor needs to be thickened, the depression angle is 50 centimeters higher than the body.

So, taking into account the above, the actual weight of this GW-VIII "Mouse" is not much lighter than that of the Mouse, and even the GW-VIII "Mouse" is heavier than the Mouse tank, if the weight of shells and the like is not included.

It can be said that the speed of this thing is also extremely tricky.

The terrain of the other world is much better than that of Zhang Shixin's historical mission, and the GW-VIII "mouse" is not so bad that it can't be done off-road.

But what is the cross-country speed of the rat tank...... Anyone who has ever played the game knows how frustrating numbers can be.

Zhang Shixin researched this thing, mainly because it was born for the sake of tackling tough battles.

Although the 600mm shell is not as good as the 800mm of Gustavus, the most powerful gun in history, it can do what Gustav can't do with the type of shell.

This thing has a range of 15km, and the effective range of the Hawkeye is 10km, so it can be said that this thing can destroy all buildings within 10km quite easily.

Of course, it is unrealistic for a large building to collapse with one shot.

This thing also has a disadvantage, because the shells need to use additional propellants, which is indispensable, so the firing speed can be three minutes per shot, and Zhang Shixin should be secretly happy.

There are two ways to reload the projectile, one is to quickly stuff several explosive packets directly into the breech. But Zhang Shixin rejected this method of imitation of Gustav, because it would damage the cannon after firing a few shells.

The other is a relatively more expensive detonator introduction and firing method, which does not damage the artillery.

Dozens of detonators arranged side by side in a circle can be ignited by electrons, and the reaction force accumulated by the high-energy detonator charge in the relatively sealed chamber of the cannon will directly launch a shell that is close to a little more than a ton.

But this method has a weakness, that is, the flame generated by the muzzle is more than three meters high, so to speak, as long as it is not blind, in the absence of a barrier, it is not a problem for the tank commander to see this shining muzzle flame within six or seven hundred meters.

Zhang Shixin naturally wanted to add a flame suppressor, but ...... Unfortunately, the flame suppressor can't handle the muzzle flame at this temperature.

According to the system's explanation, the muzzle flame generated by the shell fired by the detonator can directly roast a person.

Therefore, it is more of a flame suppressor that uses some special materials to absorb the muzzle flame, and it has to be scrapped after a few uses.

When everything was ready, and it was darkest before dawn, Zhang Shixin let several WZ-131s full of camouflage camouflage find a position to lurk in the direction of preparing to attack.

These WZ-131s are naturally used in eye-catching cars.

However, instead of the relatively outdated artillery mirrors, they used an advanced optical reconnaissance system with a visual feedback screen.

For these equipment, Zhang Shixin spent a considerable amount of money to be able to do it lightly one by one.

The accessories of the system are very different from those in the game, the Gun Scope only costs 1000 silver, and at the same time, it does not require too many positions, and it can almost be done by the commander.

But the advanced optical reconnaissance system, because things are much more advanced, and also because it is used a lot of times (the artillery mirror does not function well at night. Although the optical reconnaissance system of the fifties and sixties is not very good, compared to the "Sparrowhawk" series, it is improved by the surname of the long end.

This thing can adjust the observation direction at will with the swing of the monitor, and the actual real-time monitoring angle is about 120 degrees of the target orientation, which is already the limit.

Although there are also more advanced things, such as thermal imaging, but this thing is listed now, the surname can be much worse than the highlights, and because during the day, this kind of low-level thermal imaging is not very easy to use, so Zhang Shixin still chooses the overall surname, the surname can be better advanced optical reconnaissance system.

The limit of the high-light reconnaissance distance mounted on the WZ-131 is 1000 meters, which is still the use of a high-power battery box to maintain a certain time, after all, this thing is quite power-hungry, and the battery boxes fixed on both sides of the turret also affect the appearance of a tank a little.

Not to mention that the battery box is used as a peripheral equipment, which is easy to be damaged in battle, so to speak, a reconnaissance tank equipped with a complete set of high-light systems, if it charges to fight, it is easy to become a blind man.

As a major peripheral device, the highlight system has almost no protection ability, and if a bullet hits the monitor, or an infrared amplification instrument, this set of highlights will be partially wasted.

If the battery box is broken, then the entire set of highlights may have to be short-circuited and scrapped.

It can be said that the advanced optical system is more like an AK-47 made of crystal for Zhang Shixin, with a good surname at the same time, if there is any damage, Zhang Shixin can say that it is too late to cry.

Can the battery pack of the Advanced Optical Reconnaissance System be placed in the car?

The answer is yes, but once these two things are placed inside the body, the crew members of the WZ-131 don't want to move easily.

Despite the shortcomings of the advanced optical reconnaissance system, at the darkest hour before dawn, the commanders of several WZ-131s that had infiltrated the northwestern outskirts of Wendell City stopped at their own suitable locations, and their commanders turned on the advanced optical systems.

After a burst of snowflakes flashed on the 17-inch color screen that was pulled down, a pitch-black screen was gradually displayed in the screen with infrared irradiation.

The commander constantly adjusts the angle of the monitor to the infrared amplification instrument in order to show more information.

Although there are still some energy guides illuminating some areas of Wendell City, the advanced optical reconnaissance system can show the general situation more effectively.

On the artillery position two or three kilometers away, one by one the artillery constantly adjusted the height of the artillery barrel, which was the gunner adjusting the firing elements according to the tactical map.

And the self-propelled rocket launchers also adjusted the direction of fire on the rails.

A sound of preparation sounded, and Zhang Shixin, who was next to a GW-VIII "mouse", took a deep breath, pressed his earbuds tightly, and then said:

"Cannon !!"

Suddenly, hundreds of artillery pieces and rocket launchers roared.

On the shelling position, which stretched for three kilometers, there were bursts of shelling.

……

The velocity of the shell is a little faster than the speed of sound, so the speed of the discharge of many shells is much faster than the speed of sound, but because of air friction and other factors, in the case of long-range shelling, the flight speed of the shell will be slower and slower, and many times, the whistling sound of the shell will be faster than the shell.

Therefore, long-range artillery shelling is easier for many experienced veterans to dodge than a close-range attack.

Some of the night watchmen heard the whistling sound in the sky, and subconsciously raised their heads, and then he pushed his teammates who were dozing off in horror, and said loudly: "Shelling!! ”

Before he could react, a missed 150mm shell landed in the wooden outpost where they were, and a violent blast wave mixed with fragments and deadly heat behind the two of them consumed their bodies in an instant......

Smaller caliber shells are less affected by air friction, so the first batch of 150mm and 155mm shells fell into their respective landing circles after a certain flight time.

Then, 150mm rockets followed, followed by 203mm and 210mm shells.

The shells, as well as the rockets, exploded violently at their respective landing points.

Due to the long distance of the shelling, the probability of these shells hitting the target directly with rockets is relatively small.

However, if it is a target such as a high-rise building, it will increase the chance of hitting the target.

The calculation of the landing point circle is based on the prediction of the trajectory of the shell, and the higher the height of a shell, as long as the landing point line is set on the ground behind the building, the distance behind it will be actually judged to hit the height difference of the building.

Zhang Shixin knew this very well, and his gunners also carried out shelling more in accordance with Zhang Shixin's orders.

In this way, as long as the shell is not biased to the left or right, even if the shell is actually in the back, the shell can easily hit the building.

Finally, the whistling of cannonballs appeared in the sky again, but the enemy, who had already been awakened one after another, heard the sound of shells rubbing the air of this intensity, and some of the veterans showed a face full of despair......

Because such whistling sounds indicate that these shells are the big ones of the big guys.

……

Indeed, compared to the 600mm guns, the battleship's main gun became a "small toothpick".

The world's largest naval gun caliber is only 480mm, and this thing is only pre-installed on the latest battleships of the Gultoka Empire.

Many enemies prayed that these shells would not fall on their heads, after all, many of them were becoming more and more aware that the whistling sound produced by shells of this caliber was enough to prove the caliber and power of these shells.

The cannonball that used Hei Sokin as the charge was much more powerful than the cannonball used by Zhang Shixin before.

There are many times when the surname of the charge can directly determine the power of a small-caliber shell to hit a larger caliber shell.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration for Zhang Shixin to be able to eliminate a dark sentry with a 150mm shell at this time.

After the smoke cleared, only a few pieces of wooden stakes that had been blown away were left, as for the secret whistle?

Now it has become a large crater with a radius of more than 7 meters, but because the landing point is a little behind, this crater looks like a rather irregular circle.

The first wave of six 600mm shells finally landed in their own landing circle.

However, the accuracy of this thing is only 1.68, which means that the error value can be more than 50 meters at a radius of three kilometers.

Therefore, except for one shell that can directly hit the target, the other five shells mostly fall behind the target and in an area of twenty or thirty meters in front of it.

However, the great power of many www.xstxt.orgm shells.

Even if this thing is not as large as Gustav's caliber, and even if a more powerful explosive charge is used, the power is generally not as powerful as the weight of about 2 tons of 800mm shells, and the charge is not less than 1500kg shells......

But the facts speak for themselves.

The defensive fortress that had been hit by the direct hit had now almost completely disappeared, and a little flame was still coming out of a crater with a radius of more than twenty meters.

In the area that was not directly hit, the powerful impact of the high-explosive bomb was to target the target twenty or thirty meters away, and the wall in the corresponding direction was shaken into cracks.

……

If a 150mm shell can blow up a large hole with a radius of more than 7 meters, then a 600mm shell can blow up a crater with a radius of nearly 30 meters?

The answer, of course, is no.

After all, no matter how powerful the shell is, it will not be equal to the superposition, at most, it will increase according to a certain amount of charge and there will be a greater damage.

Ancient Stanford's most brilliant achievement was the destruction of a land defense artillery bunker fortification of the Odessa fortress complex with one shot.

It was true that the power of that thing was huge, but it was directly related to the fact that the ammunition placed in the lower layer of the bunker was detonated so completely.

Someone once made an assumption that what would happen if Gustav hit the Yamato class directly?

Zhang Shixin saw several sayings, that is, the Yamato-level could not escape.

Zhang Shixin agreed with the argument that it was inevitable, but he had his own opinion on what kind of death the Yamato class should be.

If it is smashed on the deck at the edge of the hull, the Yamato-class will basically be smashed through, and with my own damage management ability, the Yamato-class will become another Shinano.

Although the Yamato-class hull also has several layers, in the case of using concrete destruction shells (this is one of Gustav's standard shells, the other is also a special high-explosive shell used against fortifications), these layers of hull want to block 800mm concrete destruction shells, which is not bad for dreams. Therefore, such a situation will happen to smash the hull of the ship, although the probability of this is not too great.

In fact, the 800mm is much easier to blow a hole in the Yamato-class broadside armor, which is much larger than the hole blown up by the mainstream torpedoes of World War II.

It can be said that the Yamato-class can wait for the water to be immersed in the shipwreck......

However, if the turret or bridge of the Yamato-class is hit, the damage of the Yamato-class will be greater, because even if you want to smash through the top of the turret or the bridge position with a concrete destruction projectile, and then directly smash through the hull, it is impossible.

After all, the armor data of the Yamato-class was distributed as 410 mm for the side armor belt (maximum), 650 mm for the turret (frontal), 560 mm for the gun mount, 270 mm for the roof of the ammunition compartment, 55 mm for the upper deck, 200 mm for the main deck, and 495 mm for the conning tower.

It can be said that it is difficult for Gustav to penetrate the front of the main gun, but he can easily smash through the top of the turret.

The shells will explode violently in the lower part of the bridge or in the lower layer of the turret, whether it can directly tear apart the hull of the Yamato-class, don't ask me, I don't know, because it is difficult to make assumptions, after all, the two battleships Musashi and Yamato, it can be said that they were beaten to death by the aircraft group.

However, if the Yamato-class wants to continue fighting, it will be very difficult.

It can be said that the charge of the shell determines the power, however, there is also a limit.

Some people say that Iowa's main gun is quite powerful, but that thing is more armor-piercing shells, how do you count this?

That artillery position in Iraq was the last battle of the 406mm main gun, and some people say that the shelling directly smashed a canyon......

Hehe, that shell or nuclear weapon can't be?

Therefore, Zhang Shixin knew that the power of his 600mm shells was quite reliable.

After all, the impact cannot completely destroy a house, as for the people in the fortifications, there is no possibility of survival, many people's eardrums were directly broken, and then the brain nerve center was seriously damaged, in this case, the person who can live can only be regarded as a miracle.

Zhang Shixin also knew this very well, but seeing that a dozen or so people in an artillery crew were busy and couldn't increase the firing speed, Zhang Shixin knew that this thing could only exist as a threat weapon.

The special loading vehicle, which is responsible for ammunition loading, uses its own body to push forward the ammunition delivery channel that slides backwards several meters away due to the recoil push. After the track was fully engaged again, several cleaners quickly cleaned the bottom of the barrel with a hairstick.

The loaders, on the other hand, were busy inserting metal leads into the detonators.

When the two tasks are completed, the first worker hoists the shells into the bomb delivery channel with a crane, and the other two workers check whether the shells are placed in the channel.

After the gunner has flattened the gun, the special loading vehicle carefully pushes the shells into the bore with a movable ram.

After all this was done, it was already three minutes after the first loader pressed the button to close the gun door......

……

Zhang Shixin looked at this situation and could only comfort himself: "It's much better than Gustav...... Alas......" (To be continued.) )
