Chapter 754, Range Testing

Whether it's a top speed of 45 kilometers, a precise fire control system, or powerful armor protection, everything completely blinds everyone's eyes

The only thing that hasn't been tested yet is the firepower system, but after all the performances just now, everyone is full of infinite expectations for it.

"Xiao Jiang, my good chief Jiang engineer, after your series of demonstrations today, I am almost crazy!" Chief Wang said excitedly, "In the end, the test of the main gun is left, and its firepower must be extraordinary, right?"

"Rest assured, the power of this main cannon will definitely impress everyone." Jiang Yan said with confidence.

"Come, let's go to the shooting range for a shooting test!"

So everyone came to a shooting range not far away, only to see that a number of armored targets and concrete fortifications had been placed there.

"Reload!" Jiang Yan gave the first order into the walkie-talkie.

The gunner in the car pressed the button after receiving the order, and the sound of machinery running was heard in the car, and an armor-piercing shell was automatically loaded into the chamber.

"Aim!" Jiang Yan gave another order, the gunner pulled a handle, and the barrel immediately slowly lifted up, aiming at a concrete fortification 500 meters away.

"Fire!" With a roar, the main cannon erupted with fire, and an armor-piercing projectile shot out with a thunderous momentum, directly penetrating the two-meter-thick concrete fortifications 500 meters away!

"it!" Chief Wang's eyes widened and he was stunned.

"It's terrifying! Our shells can't get into the concrete at a distance of 500 meters!"

Several experts were also shocked and wiped cold sweats.

"Hit our 59 tanks with it, it's just ...... It's like beating people with guns and kids!" An old expert stammered.

In this regard, Jiang Yan smiled lightly and said, "This is just the beginning, please look at the next goal."

After saying that, he; The gunner was instructed to rotate the turret towards a concrete bunker on the left, take aim, and fire again.

Hearing only a "boom", the bunker was suddenly pierced through a large hole, and concrete debris flew to the ground.

", this, it's really enjoyable!" Chief Wang was already speechless with excitement.

"This, the power of this armor-piercing bullet is so great, you have improved it." Chief Wang put down the telescope in his hand and said to Jiang Yan.

"This new type of armor-piercing bullet adopts a new industry and formula, and it is more than twice the power of the old armor-piercing bullet in the same volume, and it has just been successfully developed." Professor Wang Zhang, who is in charge of artillery research and development, spoke.

"Why is this new armor-piercing projectile so powerful?! Our Type 59 tank gun will be able to make a small hole in that bunker at most!"

"Professor Zhang, this main cannon doesn't look simple, and it also uses a new process." Several experts couldn't help it, and began to ask Professor Zhang beside Jiang Yan, after all, the main gun and ammunition on this tank were designed by him.

Professor Zhang glanced at Jiang Yan next to him and said; "This main gun uses a new alloy to make the barrel, which greatly improves the chamber pressure. The armor-piercing projectile is equipped with a torpedo-shaped alloy battle head, which has stronger instantaneous energy gathering, so it can achieve this penetrating effect, all of which is the design and finalization completed with the help of Comrade Jiang Yan. ”

In addition, the sophisticated aiming system ensures a high level of accuracy. You see, smashing those targets one by one, it's as accurate as shooting at a range. Jiang Yan next to him pointed to the targets that were destroyed one by one and said.

These experts found out.

This cannon seems to be more accurate than a sniper rifle. Although it can't be said that it is more than a little bit more accurate than the previous artillery.

Chief Wang clenched his fists excitedly, looked at several mobile sandbag targets in the distance, and shouted to Jiang Yan: "Hit those moving targets again!" Hitting a moving target counts!"

"Yes!" Jiang Yan immediately used the walkie-talkie to inform the gunner controlling the turret to aim at one of the moving sandbags 700 meters away, and when it moved, it opened fire with a "boom", and the sandbags exploded in response, splashing a large area of sand.

"It's so beautiful!" Chief Wang clapped his hands and laughed, jumped up and shouted, "With this accuracy, if our Type 59 wants to hit an active target, we have to fire two or three shells!"

"It's a huge sniper rifle! Xiao Jiang, you equip our army with these new tanks, what kind of battle are others fighting, just surrender!"

"Haha, the chief has won the award. Move on to the next goal. Jiang Yan said modestly.

The next target is a simulated target of a motor vehicle that moves repeatedly in the distance.

After seeing that the tank had traveled to a distance where it could shoot, Jiang Yan directly gave the order to fire.

I only heard a "boom".

Before the maneuvering target could dodge, it was pierced by an armor-piercing bullet, exploding and catching fire!

"Incredible! No one else has this accuracy!" Chief Wang was already speechless about the main cannon.

"Xiao Jiang, I think our previous tests are enough to illustrate the problem, the power of this tank artillery has crushed everything! Compared with the main battle tanks of Eagle Sauce and Mao Xiong, it is not inferior at all, and even exceeds it a lot. ”

"Okay, okay, let's stop testing, so as not to get these precious armor-piercing shells."

Just now, Chief Wang privately heard that this armor-piercing bullet was three times that of the previous armor-piercing bullet, and after this one was almost five hundred yuan, Chief Wang pinched his teeth and gave an order to stop firing, this thing is very powerful, even the price is too expensive.

"Chief Wang, why don't you take a strict look at our self-propelled guns." Jiang Yan pointed to the self-propelled artillery and infantry fighting vehicles not far ahead.

This self-propelled howitzer is a howitzer whose body is integrated with the chassis of the vehicle and runs on its own power. It has good cross-country performance, fast entry and exit positions, most of them have armor protection, strong battlefield combat effectiveness, and are easy to cooperate with armored troops and motorized infantry.

The howitzer is based on the Type 59 chassis as a reference, with a moderate amount of improvements, mainly to increase the height and width of the chassis, so that it can be installed with our 115 mm self-propelled howitzer.

"Yes, yes, good, good!" Chief Wang listened to Jiang Yan's introduction, and still drooled when he touched this self-propelled howitzer.

"The howitzer has 30 rounds of ammunition, and after adding an improved diesel engine, the speed is not much different from that of the 59 tank, and it can completely follow the tank's movement at the same time." Jiang Yan said this, after a pause, he looked at Chief Wang, smiled and then spoke.

"This chassis can not only be used as a carrier for howitzers, but also for equipment such as cannons, heavy mortars, etc., and the transformation is simpler after the adoption of modular management."

After Jiang Yan finished introducing the self-propelled howitzer, he pointed to the infantry fighting vehicle next to him and began to introduce it again, this time Chief Wang couldn't sit still at all, just now he still disliked Jiang Yan and developed these equipment a bit expensive, now looking at these equipment, it is really fragrant! At this time, I can't wait to go to the battlefield to test his performance.

After Chief Wang and the experts saw it, Chief Wang beckoned the soldiers to start testing self-propelled guns and infantry fighting vehicles, and the test was also quite satisfactory to everyone, which was full of praise.

Under the itching of this Wang chief, he actually went up and fired a few shots, and he was as happy as a three-year-old child, and for a while Jiang Yan felt like he had gotten a large toy.
