50. The importance of the chassis
With one password after another, the high and low planes were quickly shaken, and at the moment when the muzzle of the gun was set, the loud noise and gunsmoke became the theme of the artillery position. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoTons of shells smashed on the other side of the Hunhe River, where was the advance position of the devils. Now it has become a real purgatory, as if even the stones are about to be melted by the heat.
"Use up all the shells and bombs!"
This is an order from the military district, and there are still nearly 30,000 tons of various artillery shells in the warehouse, and it is impossible to carry them back to the red zone. Even the recovery of copper bullet casings is a bit overwhelming.
"Don't you feel distressed when you sell your grandfather!"
Thinking of this, the Dead Star muttered quietly.
He slowly rotated the artillery mirror, carefully observing everything on the other side. Just now, the devils tried to launch an offensive, but they were discovered by the soldiers of the special operations brigade who were lurking, and they immediately sent a telegram back.
Under the bombardment of heavy artillery, the offensive naturally collapsed, but the Dead Star was a little unhappy.
"The cannon is a good cannon, but the range is too short!"
When the Beidaying was recovered, 16 artillery pieces were captured, and with the inventory of the Mukden Arsenal, there were now more than 30 heavy artillery pieces in hand.
These "14-year-type" 150-mm heavy howitzers were copied from the "38-type" 150-mm howitzers of the Japanese state. Because it is clumsy and heavy, every maneuver becomes a nightmare, and even the hard-working devil soldiers complain about it. Moreover, the range of the artillery is only 5900 meters, and once it is discovered, the consequences will be devastating.
However, there are no such problems in the city, and there is a row of abandoned houses in front of the position as concealment, and there are reconnaissance planes in the air to monitor them, so it is naturally very safe.
"It was a good fight!"
The experience of artillery is gradually increasing, and recently attempts were made to place artillery observers on aircraft. It's just the first time I've eaten crabs, and I haven't got any results yet.
"Boom, boom!"
In the midst of a deafening loud noise, the artillerymen were communicating with gestures. Now they have also used soundproof earmuffs, which were ordered by Qin Lang to be made, and the effect is quite good, and there will be no more ear shocks and bleeding.
"Stop shooting!"
After a round of rapid fire, the artillerymen immediately cleared their chambers, and several artillery battalion commanders approached the dead star.
"Director, this cannon is really good, but it's a pity that it's too bulky."
The "14-year-old" 150-mm gun weighed 1.85 tons, and the total weight of the ranks was nearly 4 tons, which could not be pulled by mules and horses. The only way to maneuver is by car towing, but this also has its limitations. If you "spread joy" on the sorghum fields in the northeast, I am afraid that you will have to sink into the ground long ago.
"The Chengtang Institute has designed a new tracked chassis with a load capacity of 8 tons, and 3 vehicles have been produced this month, which will soon be equipped with artillery units."
Hearing this, the battalion commanders let out a mocking sound.
"This time, the chassis won't be dragged into two sections!"
"Director, just get some tractors, I think the imported Workers and Peasants International is good."
"That's too slow, 8 kilometers per hour, it's not as good as a gear card, although it's a little ugly, but it can run 15 yards!"
The Nariyu Research Institute conducted many experiments, but the self-propelled guns succeeded only with 75-mm guns. The last time a captured 77-mm gun was tested, the chassis broke into two sections after only one shot.
Thinking of this, the Dead Star also became depressed.
The Mukden Arsenal secretly manufactured a new type of artillery with a caliber of 105 mm and a firing range of 18,000 meters. The most valuable thing is that all the designers have been found, and now they are all in Zhangye, and soon this gun will inevitably be mass-produced.
But it has a fatal flaw, the weight of the gun body alone has reached 3.3 tons, and the full weight of the ranks should be more than 5 tons. Looking at the whole of China, except for the diesel cars in the Suihong District of Jicha, there is nothing that can be dragged at all. Now the truck project of Chengyusho is completely stalled, and all hope is on the 8-ton tracked chassis, otherwise this heavy gun can only be deployed along the railway.
Just as he was in a trance, someone shouted:
"What happened to the tank test company?"
Mourning Star hurriedly rushed to the artillery mirror, and sure enough, 12 armed Type 01 tanks formed a diamond-shaped formation, accompanied by the first battalion of Jibu, and launched an attack on the 124 heights of the devil.
"That nail should have been pulled out a long time ago!"
Heights 124 is a small hill on the other side of the river, although the area is not large, but the devils make full use of it, they have arranged an artillery position on the anti-slope, and now they are constantly bombarding Fengtian City. Although the heavy artillery brigade also launched artillery bombardment on it with the cooperation of the air force, it was sheltered by a mountain, and the effect was very bad.
The bombing of the air force was equally unsuccessful, and the devils placed a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns around it, and as long as the altitude was below 2500 meters, the bombers were in danger of being hit. But dropping a bomb at an altitude of 2,500 meters is like throwing a pea on the tip of a needle, and a hit is luck.
"Suddenly, suddenly!"
But at this moment, sixteen armored vehicles rushed out of the devil's position. As soon as they appeared, they rushed at a very high speed towards the slowly advancing tank.
"Boom!"
One of the first tanks aimed at a target, but unfortunately the shell grazed the armored car and passed.
"Click!"
The devil's armored car did not dare to slack off, and used the on-board machine gun to frantically strafe the opponent, causing strings of sparks to emerge from the armor.
"Jingle bell."
In a flurry of noise, the tank slowly turned its turret.
"Boom!"
Once again, gray-white smoke erupted from the muzzle, and a black shadow flew out of the middle and slammed into an armored car.
"Boom!"
A column of smoke rose up, and the car was immediately torn open with a huge gap. The leaking gasoline from the engine immediately burned, and in an instant, it became a furnace.
"Target the car on the left, put!"
"Boom, boom!"
Tanks were also firing one after another, and the shells were at the back of the turret, which could be reached with a single hand, and it only took a few seconds to fill the guns. In such a time, those armored cars could not dodge at all, and soon the leading ones were blown up.
The rest of the devils knew that they couldn't dodge, so they rushed over with full horsepower.
"Click!"
The tank's side-by-side machine guns opened fire at once, and the steel core bullets filled the armored car with holes everywhere.
"Phew, waste of Lao Tzu cannonballs!"
Seeing all this, Ding Dasheng, the commander of the No. 2 car, scolded.
Armed with a Type 01 tank and a three-person turret, the "head" is relatively large. And the commander's conning tower was much higher, and when he saw those burning cars through the cracks, there was a hint of disdain in his eyes.
The first shell fired by the gunner, in accordance with the requirements of the training syllabus, was used with a tungsten core armor-piercing shell. As a result, the car went forward and came out of the rear of the car, and the car actually had nothing to do, and it went on a rampage until it was smashed to pieces by a high-explosive bomb.
"Bang!"
The tank smashed through the wreckage and slowly climbed up the hillside, the first battalion of mechanized infantry behind him had already set up a position, but the devil's position was silent.
Just as everyone was stunned, they heard a familiar roar.
"Onboard!"
