Chapter 377: The World's First Truck Cannon

"Okay, I've already introduced the armored assault vehicle."

"Next, the third of our big eight round three musketeers, wheeled self-propelled mortars."

When Wang Ye's voice sounded, the armored assault vehicle parked in the workshop roared, and then left quickly through the back door.

"It's an upgrade from the 59-p, and it's a true king of mountain warfare."

"With its strong mobility and firepower output, I think it will definitely be able to make a name for itself on the battlefield in the near future, so please applaud and welcome it!"

Instantly there was a round of applause in the workshop, and at the same time the main door opened again, and in the midst of the smoke, only an armored car was seen moving.

Its chassis is no different from the previous two cars, the only difference is the turret, which has an unusual turret, in the middle of which are two thicker and shorter barrels fixed together, and it can be seen from the active structure of the turret that the maximum elevation angle of these two guns is very high, almost perpendicular to the ground.

"Now what you leaders and friends see is our wheeled self-propelled mortar."

"It is equipped with two 120-mm caliber slapping howitzers, and when projectile, the maximum firing range can reach 10 kilometers, and it can fire high-explosive and fragmentation ammunition to cause efficient damage to enemy fortifications, vehicles, and personnel, and at the same time, it can also shoot horizontally and launch armor-piercing shells, and still has good armor-piercing performance at a distance of 1.5 kilometers."

"Thanks to the relatively spacious interior, it can carry an additional four heavily armed combatants even though it can carry 64 shells, and these two guns use semi-automatic ammunition feeding equipment, which can pour out all the 16 shells that have been loaded in 18 seconds, and the reloading time is only 3 minutes."

"And these two guns can choose to fire at the same time, alternately or separately, depending on the content of the combat mission, different combinations of ammunition can be selected, if you prefer long-range support, then you can fully load mortar shells, if there is a certain close combat and anti-armor target, you can also load mortar shells and armor-piercing shells separately."

When Wang Ye finished his introduction, Farouk, who was sitting there, looked very happy, and actually "snapped" and applauded:

"From Director Wang Ye's introduction, I have already felt the power of this self-propelled mortar."

"As Director Wang Ye said when he first introduced, I also believe that this self-propelled mortar will definitely be able to become famous on the battlefield not far away and become the real king of mountain combat!"

Accompanied by Farouk's voice, there was a sound of applause at the scene, and at the same time, the leaders and officers present were also very clear why Farouk gave additional praise to this mortar, because the entire Kesmir region, the northern part of Pakistan, and the northwestern region of India, are all kinds of mountainous and mountainous areas.

In this way, the firing range has reached ten kilometers, and the mortar action that can provide curve shooting has appeared, its caliber may not be as large as those heavy cannon howitzers, and the firing range is not so far, but after all, it is a large eight-wheeled chassis that can be self-contained, and strong mountain and cross-country maneuverability can make up for its shortcomings in range, compared to heavy howitzers that move slowly, are slowly arranged, slow to fire, and slow to retreat, I don't know how much stronger.

Not to mention, thanks to its integrated mechanical structure, its rate of fire is far beyond that of ordinary towed artillery, although the caliber is relatively small, but the density of firepower can make up for the caliber problem to a certain extent, besides, the 120 mm caliber gun is not small, if it acts in a large-scale way, the output capacity is quite terrifying.

In short, running fast, hitting fiercely, and shooting at a long range, in mountain combat, it can indeed be called a king-like existence.

"Alright, our wheeled Three Musketeers, we've finished the introduction."

"Next, it's our sixth product at this launch."

When Wang Ye's voice sounded again, the engine of the self-propelled howitzer started, and then through the open back door, he rumbled out of the workshop.

"As for our sixth product."

"Compared with the previous five pieces, its overall size is relatively small, but it is not small."

"Next, welcome to our 'Little Wolf' wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicle!"

With Wang Ye's voice, the front door opened again, and it was still full of smoke, and then an armored car that was quite small in size and quite chic in shape compared to the big guys just now drove in.

I saw that the chassis of this armor, with three wheels on the left and right, could vaguely see the shadow of the six-wheeled all-terrain assault vehicle, the signature product of the Red Star Consortium, in it, and what was even more exaggerated was that on this chassis that was not too large, there was a rather exaggerated turret, especially the gun in the middle, the caliber was quite large!

"As you can see, the chassis of this armored vehicle was upgraded by a six-wheeled all-terrain vehicle."

"Larger, stronger, and faster than it used to be, and with the addition of armor, it is now protected against 12.7 mm machine gun rounds on both the front and sides, while the crew needs to enter through the hatches in the rear and at the top."

"Of course, the most important thing is its turret."

"In order to ensure that it can cope with possible enemy and skirmishes during reconnaissance, we equipped it with a cannon with a caliber of 30 mm and 120 rounds of ammunition, and also a machine gun with a caliber of 12.7 mm and 2,000 rounds of ammunition.

Speaking of this, Wang Ye spread his hands slightly and said:

"And if the enemy has only infantry and is not equipped with any heavy weapons."

"Then its combat mission can also change from reconnaissance to annihilation in an instant."

"Trust me, it definitely has the strength."

At that moment, after Wang Ye's introduction was completed, there was a burst of applause in the workshop, and Farouk, who was sitting there, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"Director Wang Ye, please forgive me for taking the liberty of making me feel a little familiar with this 'little wolf' armored reconnaissance vehicle."

"There seems to be a similar product in the British army, which I saw by chance when I went to England to investigate."

Hearing Farouk's voice, Wang Ye, who was standing there, laughed, waved his hand and said casually:

"Mr. Farouk, it's not presumptuous, it's just a fact."

"Because our 'Little Wolf' armored reconnaissance vehicle did refer to the British 'Fox' reconnaissance vehicle when it was established, it is normal to have some similarities, such as the main gun used, according to our original idea, we hope to install a 35 mm caliber gun on it."

"But in the end, referring to the British 'Fox' armored reconnaissance vehicle, taking into account the weight, ammunition reserves, combat environment and other issues, I chose the 30-millimeter caliber main gun."

"And in my opinion, there is nothing bad about being honest, we are latecomers, just like the Dow missile, it is very normal to learn from the pioneers, after all, there are enough mature products for reference, and deliberately avoid seeking innovation and difference, in the field of military product development and manufacturing, in my opinion, it is very inappropriate."

Speaking of this, the corners of Wang Ye's mouth rose slightly, with a faint smile on his face, and then continued:

"That's why we named it 'Little Wolf.'"

"Because foxes are the prey of wolves, if there is a chance to compete on the same stage in the international battlefield in the future, we firmly believe that my little wolf can prey on foxes!"

This time, after Wang Ye finished speaking, the applause at the scene was very warm, not only the officers gave Wang Ye face, Farouk seemed to be looking forward to that scene very much, clapping his hands.

While applauding, Wang Ye knocked on the little wolf armed reconnaissance vehicle behind him, and then the small armored vehicle started and slowly left through the back door.

After it left, there was silence in the workshop, and Wang Ye coughed lightly and said:

"Next, it's the last car product of the day."

"There are two main reasons why it can appear as the last one, the first reason is that it is far more powerful than all the previous products, and the second reason is that this type of weapon is the first in the world to some extent."

Hearing Wang Ye say this, whether it was the leaders of the ministries or Farouk and other Pakistanis, all of them showed interested expressions on their faces, although the world's first use of the term "to some extent", it was still enough to make people curious and expectant.

For example, the heavy rocket artillery of the Red Star Complex, although rocket artillery weapons are very common, but their super-large caliber rocket artillery is currently the first in the world, and the facts have also proved that the combat effectiveness of heavy rocket artillery is worthy of its title of the world's first.

At this moment, in the entire workshop, only those officers looked a little calm, because they had seen this weapon before.

"Come in! Be careful, don't bump into it! ”

This time, Wang Ye didn't make any cool entrance words, just waved his hand and said.

With the opening of the main entrance, this time even smoke bombs were not prepared, and the door looked clean and had a good vision, and then in the slightly surprised and stunned eyes of everyone, I saw a car cautiously rumbling in, and the moment I saw this car, Gilad Bull, who was sitting in the back row of the audience, instantly lit up his eyes!

I saw the car that drove in, the overall truck shape, but it is different from the trucks on the market at present, as well as the trucks produced by the Red Star Consortium, it has a total of three axles, using the structure of double-row wheels, in which the cab is located above the first axle, using the structure of double-row carriages, and the second and third axles are next to each other, located at the rear of the car body.

One of the most eye-catching is the heavy gun with a very large size and caliber fixed on the rear platform, with a barrel in the middle of the carriage, exceeding the length of the front, a semi-automatic auxiliary reloading equipment at the rear, and two solid standing hoes at the end of the body, which makes the whole car look rather stubby and sturdy.

Secondly, on both sides of the frame between the first axle and the second axle, there are integrated side boxes, on which are densely packed with round covers, it is obvious that they are filled with shells and medicine packs, and a rough count can show that this car is carrying a total of forty-two shells, which is quite good for artillery units.

"Ahem, leaders, friends."

"As you can see at this moment, our last product is a self-propelled gun."

"However, it is different from the current international mainstream armored tracked self-propelled gun, which is a self-propelled gun loaded by a truck, and in order to distinguish it from the self-propelled guns of the past, we also call it a 'truck gun'."

"That's why I added the phrase to a certain extent in front of the world's first."

"Needless to say, self-propelled guns are not uncommon, but large-caliber self-propelled guns using trucks as chassis, we are the first in the world."

Speaking of this, Wang Ye paused slightly, and then continued:

"There are three fundamental reasons why we are doing this."

"First, we found that the current mobility of heavy artillery is actually very poor, and it is very difficult to transport, even those self-propelled guns move very slowly, and they cannot quickly transfer and support, and after the enemy discovers the artillery firing position, there is no way to transfer and retreat as soon as possible, and it is easy to be counterattacked."

"Second, according to the intelligence we have gathered in Pakistan, Iraq, Iran and other battlefields, there is a great need for heavy artillery in the current war."

"Third, although the mobility of armored self-propelled guns is acceptable, the cost is generally more expensive, and maintenance is more difficult, and it is difficult to purchase and equip them in large quantities."

In the face of Wang Ye's statements, the leaders and officers present, as well as Farouk and other Pakistanis, nodded in agreement, because at present, most of the heavy artillery is still towed artillery, and it moves slowly and leisurely, and it is difficult to mobilize and support, and if the enemy is equipped with counter-battery radar, it is easy to be detected and counterattacked.

As for self-propelled guns, although they are good, the price is too expensive, the price of a self-propelled gun is at least the price of a dozen ordinary towed guns, and dozens of guns at most, and they can't afford it at all!

"With the truck chassis, these problems were solved."

"First of all, the price, it is much lower than the tracked armored chassis, not to mention the speed of maneuvering, it can easily run more than a hundred kilometers on the road, which is simply incomparable with those tracked armored chassis."

"Such a weapon can be equipped on a large scale!"

"As for the problem of its poor defense, I don't think it's worth worrying about at all, after all, the artillery is used for long-range support, and it is generally far away from the enemy."

Accompanied by Wang Ye's voice, Farouk looked at the truck cannon in front of him, and his eyes became brighter and brighter again.

It seems that he has forgotten about the self-propelled mortar that he was quite optimistic about just now, and it is obvious that he recognizes this truck gun even more, believing that it can play an important role on the battlefield.

At the same time, Wang Ye continued:

"Straight to the point."

"At present, our truck gun, which is still a test model in the early stage, is equipped with a 152 mm cannon howitzer, with a maximum range of only 18 kilometers, presumably all leaders and friends should be very familiar with it, originally this is a towed artillery, after our technicians and engineers have been modified, it has been temporarily installed."

"But in the near future, we will replace it with a cannon howitzer with a caliber of 155 mm, and the firing range will be increased to about 40 kilometers, and at that time, it will be the complete body of this truck gun, and it will truly become a high-mobility and high-output weapon that can dominate the battlefield, and lead the development of future artillery weapons!"

Speaking of this, Wang Ye's eyes looked at the audience, and everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look, only to see a middle-aged and elderly white man sitting there, and at this moment he was looking eagerly at the truck cannon not far away.

"Comrade Bul, I have already boasted about Haikou, there should be no problem, right?"

Hearing Wang Ye say this, Bull grinned and said easily:

"Of course not, it's a trivial matter!"
