Chapter 385 "Mother" Tank

"In that case, how about we get rid of the artillery and transform it into a tank with eight machine guns?" Wang Guorui asked.

Wang Guorui has planned to give up the tank plan in the past, because in the past, Wang Guorui's plan for the tank research and development team was to have one artillery piece and then four machine guns, so as to achieve the effect of the tank in Wang Guorui's mind. Although theoretically speaking, the power of the tank's engine is enough to drive this weight, but in practice, there will be a huge recoil force during each tank firing process, and then this recoil force is enough to cause huge damage to the tank. And this damage is not only the destruction of the enemy, but also the destruction of their own engines. Because the tank in the process of moving suddenly encountered a force that burst backwards, it would inevitably cause a strict loss of motivation.

However, the current engine cannot withstand such a severe test, because the engine of this era is not even civilian in later generations. And the reliability of this kind of engine is not good, and it is very prone to problems. If you use the tank again, it will inevitably cause more problems, and then it will not work properly. At that time, it is obviously impossible to damage the engine every time the cannon is fired, and if you can't fire a few shells, you will have to stop for maintenance. This is also the shortcoming of the engine of this era, a shortcoming that cannot be solved at all, after all, the reliability is different.

Originally, the tank was developed in the First World War, and at that time, the technology of diesel engines had advanced a lot, so the tank came into being. And the current tank is just a tank "ripened" by Wang Guorui, which is equivalent to a premature baby. The premature baby is not fully developed in various organs, and then it is born. This will also cause him to be born with certain defects, and there is no good way to do this. The current tank is like a premature baby with a defective heart, unable to support the organs that should be able to withstand it. Therefore, in order to avoid the high load of his "heart", he can only blame for removing part of the "organs", so that he can run smoothly.

Wang Guorui chose to remove the gun, so that the tank could avoid too much recoil damage to the engine. When the time comes, all you need is a machine gun. Even if there is only a machine gun on the tank, it may not be much less powerful for the enemy, but it greatly reduces the recoil and damage to the engine.

"Lord Wang, don't you need artillery? May I? The R&D staff asked.

Still, the researchers wanted to determine if they could change the tank's firing mind. From the original use of artillery to the current use of machine guns, there are two completely different standards. And if Wang Guorui agrees, then everyone will also carry out transformation design, so that they can be well transformed, and then they should be able to produce it soon. As long as it can be produced. Even if they have completed most of the next tasks, they will all be rewarded. However, they are also a little worried, if the artillery is turned into a machine gun, I am afraid that it will also be much less powerful.

"Yes, since you have all encountered this problem, then foreign devils will definitely encounter it too. Therefore, we don't have to worry about foreign devils being able to overtake us. And we can say that we have gone one step further. And when they find that the engine is not enough to support such a large tank and artillery, then they will definitely abandon the gun and use machine guns instead. And we were able to take advantage of being one step ahead of the curve. First of all, we need to concentrate on the development of engines, so that we can make our engines better. In this way, our tanks can also be developed as much as possible, a generation ahead of them. Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui is still very confident, since he can encounter this engine problem, the foreign devils are not much better. Since both sides have this problem, it is better to lower the standard first. Then first train a group of armored tank crews. When the foreign devils found that the current engine was unreliable, Wang Guorui had already begun to develop the engine, and the current main thing is to develop the engine, so that the tank can run continuously. Therefore, in order for the tank to be invented, Wang Guorui gave up the idea of placing artillery on the tank. Crafted directly with a machine gun. At present, it is necessary to realize the tank from scratch, and not to strive for too much excellence. There is no such thing as the most powerful weapon in this world, only the most suitable one. Since the foreign devils do not have tanks at present, there is no need for Wang Guorui to force Taiwan's tanks to use artillery.

Next, the tank developers also began to meet and discuss, and then find a way to develop this tank that uses machine guns. In fact, this transformation is not difficult, because everyone originally designed a tank that uses artillery, but later found that the engine could not support such a large artillery recoil, so they began to find a way to modify. Wang Guorui took the initiative to lower the design standards, so that they could use the reduced tank design with confidence, and then transform it into a tank that uses machine guns.

Soon, everyone came up with a new design drawing, and then said to Wang Guorui: "Lord Wang, we have designed this new tank." We designed this tank with a machine gun as the main attack weapon, and occasionally threw grenades from holes. Although this is not as powerful as artillery, it can ensure a certain amount of surface killing power. Our goal was to place three machine guns in front, with the middle one being an eleven-millimeter Maxine machine gun, and the two machine guns next to it being a seven-.7-millimeter light Maxine machine gun. And our large-caliber Maxine machine guns are used to attack enemies at a distance, or those with some protection, and large-caliber machine guns are enough to shoot through some light cover. The other two machine guns were used to kill and wound enemy soldiers who did not have much protection, and were the main force to kill the enemy. ”

"And just now it was the machine gun in front, and we also arranged two machine guns on the left and right sides, and these four machine guns will be responsible for killing and wounding the enemy on both sides, so as to prevent our enemy from attacking the tank from both sides, and then damage our tank."

"As for the rear, our rear is designed according to Lord Wang's tactics, then we can let the infantry cover it, and then the infantry can protect the tanks in the rear. This infantry-tank coordination tactic is actually the process of tanks and infantry covering each other, the tank covers the infantry from a frontal attack, and the infantry also has to cover the tank from the death squads of the enemy who charge over, so that they can cover each other until the enemy's trench is breached. And that's how we plan for tanks. And the next thing we have to do is shift the task to the diesel engine research and development team, and let them develop the diesel engine to drive the tank. Diesel engines have to be made more reliable so that our tanks can be equipped with cannons. However, I believe that the diesel engine people should soon be able to come up with very reliable diesel engines, so that we can all make those who have artillery tanks. ”

"Next, please name these two tanks!"

Wang Guorui heard that he wanted to name this tank, and the two tanks used artillery and machine guns, and Wang Guorui couldn't help but think of the original British method of his two tanks.

"Well, let's name the tank that can use artillery the formula tank, and the tank that uses a machine gun the parent tank." Wang Guorui said.

This type of tank that uses artillery is a more powerful tank, so it is called a male. And this kind of tank with machine guns is naturally the mother, after all, it is less powerful. This is also two models, which are considered to be the corresponding male and female tanks, so you can get a good tank.

"Didi, found the design drawings of the mother tank, which can produce the mother tank. Each mother tank costs 50,000 yuan. ”

Hearing the words of the system, Wang Guorui also laughed, and he finally developed the tank first. And although the foreign devils also know about the use of tanks, but they just have this idea, it does not mean that they will be able to produce it too quickly. After all, they have to go through rigorous argumentation, and then go through various means to carry out research and development. And the actual tests and so on are all in a lot of ways, and there is no way to complete them in five or six years. And in five or six years, their own tanks may have to develop a third or even fourth generation. Because Wang Guorui's research and development does not take too much time for actual testing, because the standard he tests is one, that is, it can be recognized by the guò system. As long as the system admits it, it can be used in real combat. This saves very long measurement time and reduces the time of the development process by more than half. So this is the reason why Wang Guorui was able to conduct rapid research and was able to lead several generations of tanks in foreign countries in just five or six years.

"Ordered the tank factory, first to produce five tanks, and then send them to the military academy in Taiwan, to prepare for the opening of an armored academy. Specially train armored troops, and then make armored troops one of the important branches of our army in the future, which can become our enemy's big killer! Wang Guorui said. (To be continued......)
