In addition to designing and developing the Fury fighter, Duan Yunpeng is now thinking about developing an armored car, after all, in the future, it will be inseparable from tanks and armored vehicles to conduct all-out operations with little devils, so it has to be done now.

Li Yunlong heard that he was going to build armored cars, he was very happy, and he fully supported it, after all, after having armored cars, it would be easier for the new group to fight devils, and the most important thing was to reduce the casualties of death.

Therefore, this project was quickly approved by the superiors.

Duan Yunpeng quickly completed the preliminary design plan, Li Yunlong also came over to take a look, and Zhao Gang did the same, they were all very anxious.

Seeing the domineering armored car on the drawing, Li Yunlong said excitedly: "Great, Xiao Duan, you are really amazing, this armored car is even better than the little devil, right?" ”

Duan Yunpeng said with a smile: "Of course, my armored car, is a modular design, you see this chassis, it is a wheeled chassis, with six wheels, each wheel is with driving force, so that it has a good off-road performance, although it is not comparable to tracked armored vehicles and tanks, but it has an advantage that it is lighter, more flexible, and can run faster on the road." On top of this chassis, different kinds of weapons can be mounted, for example, a turret can be installed, and it can be designed as a tank destroyer! ”

"Tank destroyers?" Hearing this new name, Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong were very puzzled, why had they never heard of it, and whether they were a bit sitting in the well and watching the sky.

Duan Yunpeng said with a smile: "The tank destroyer was invented by the Germans, also known as the wheeled anti-tank gun, which existed as early as 20 years ago, and after the first batch of tanks were put into the European theater in 1916, the armies of various countries were extremely shaken, so many countries began to research and manufacture tanks and anti-tank weapons. France created the world's first anti-tank gun, which had a long barrel and fired armor-piercing shells with great kinetic energy that could penetrate the armor of tanks. At that time, the armor of those tanks was very thin, like the light tanks of the devils now, only about ten millimeters. But now, many main battle tanks have armor thicknesses of more than 50 mm or even 100 mm thick, so the current anti-tank guns are also more powerful. As for the tank destroyer, it is to install an anti-tank gun on a wheeled armored vehicle, so that it can not only hit tanks like a tank, but also hit ground targets such as infantry and shelter with direct fire. ”

After listening to Duan Yunpeng's explanation, Zhao Gang couldn't help but be excited: "Great, if we have such a good tank destroyer, we can even do without tanks, and it's not difficult to fight devils' tanks!" ”

Li Yunlong said: "Yes, if we have this advanced anti-tank weapon, then we don't have to be afraid of the devil's tank, plus our anti-tank rocket, I believe that how many tanks the devil comes, we can destroy him!" ”

Duan Yunpeng said with a smile: "Yes, so we have to vigorously develop this kind of anti-tank gun, the devil's tank protection is relatively poor, and the firepower is not good, we can easily blow it up, so our tank destroyer is equipped with a 57 mm anti-tank gun, which is the same caliber as the devil's medium tank, but our gun penetration is definitely stronger than that of the devil." ”

Li Yunlong smiled, "Then besides this, what other weapons can be loaded up?"

Duan Yunpeng said with a smile: "On this armored chassis, it can also be equipped with anti-aircraft guns, so that it becomes a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, and it can also be packed with box-type rocket launchers, which can be turned into rocket launchers, and a car can be equipped with a forty-round rocket launcher, and a salvo is forty rockets, and the instantaneous firepower density is comparable to that of a field artillery battalion." ”

Li Yunlong gave a thumbs up and said: "Great, this design is amazing, we have to have such good equipment, so what Italian artillery is not in our eyes at all." ”

Zhao Gang said: "It's just that it has to be built, I'm afraid it's not so easy, let's not talk about building a car, even if it's enough to build a cannon!" ”

Duan Yunpeng said with a smile: "Passing the clouds is passing the clouds, now our arsenal has this ability, what about our armored car, I think we can name it a cheetah car, it will have the same speed as a cheetah, and strong combat effectiveness." ”

This time, the six-wheeled armored chassis designed by Duan Yunpeng uses a 100-kilowatt in-line four-cylinder diesel engine, and the chassis weighs 7.5 tons; if the anti-tank gun is added, the weight will increase to about 12 tons, and if it is an anti-aircraft gun, it will be much lighter, in short, it will be installed according to the needs of different tasks.

Inside the chassis there were also six fighters, the cockpit had a driver, a commander and a gunner, and a 7.7 mm machine gun in front of the car with 500 rounds of ammunition.

You must know that the German eight-wheeled armored car weighs 8.3 tons, has an armor thickness of 5 to 15 millimeters, a maximum speed of 90 kilometers per hour, and a range of 300 kilometers.

And now the cheetah designed by Duan Yunpeng has similar armor protection, with a maximum speed of 100 kilometers per hour and a maximum travel of 500 kilometers.

In World War II, the United States also developed a four-wheeled, six-wheeled, eight-wheeled armored vehicle, of which the Chevrolet-designed T17E1 armored car has a total combat weight of 14 tons, using a 4×4-wheeled chassis, with a length of 5.49 meters, a width of 2.69 meters, a height of 2.36 meters, a maximum speed of 89 kilometers per hour, a 5-person vehicle group, and the armament configuration is a rotating turret on the roof, which is equipped with a 37 mm gun and a 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun, and the armor thickness varies from 9 ~ 44 mm.

This armored combat vehicle, with two engines and two gearboxes, is very special, and there is also a six-wheeled version.

The eight-wheeled heavy armored vehicle of the United States, with a total combat weight of 26 tons, is powered by two 125-horsepower GMC 6-cylinder gasoline engines to drive all wheels to provide engine power.

The T18 was very powerful, and at first a M6 37 mm gun with a coaxial machine gun and another machine gun on top of the turret was installed, but at that time the 37 mm gun could not effectively take on anti-armor tasks, so the designers replaced the gun with the M1 57 mm gun, which was already in 1942.

Now Duan Yunpeng has directly put it in place in one step, loading a 57-mm anti-tank gun.

This 57-millimeter anti-tank gun can penetrate 70 millimeters of armor at a distance of 1,000 meters.

The box-type self-propelled rocket launcher is also very attractive to Li Yunlong, because this kind of rocket artillery will be the world's first box-type rocket artillery, with a 90-millimeter caliber rocket, 40 tubes, a firing range of 10,000 meters, and a warhead of 5 kilograms.

Of course, it is also possible to carry 130-mm rockets, which are only 20 tubes, but the range reaches 20 kilometers, and the warhead is more powerful than 20 kg.
