Section 608 280mm Siege Gun

Speaking of the war monster that just entered service in China, it is a 280mm siege heavy artillery. Originally, Mao Yuanshan was thinking of a 305mm siege heavy artillery all at once, but some people below also told him that if you really use 305mm, we can't get the current power problem. This thing is really too powerful. The 280mm heavy artillery has exceeded our limit. If we use 305mm heavy artillery directly, we can only install them on a fixed turret and cannot move them. If a cannon cannot move, we can only defend. This is contrary to Mao Yuanshan's original intention, and he just wanted to make the cannons play a role when attacking some strongholds, so we made such a cannon.

For Mao Yuanshan, he was definitely not happy with the 280mm cannon, but that this cannon was not exchanged in the system, but made by his own arms research department. This is completely different. If he relies on the system, there is nothing to be happy about, it is just a waste of money or some meritorious points. But if it was made by his own people, it means that China's arms manufacturing has risen to a very high level, at least at the same level as the world's powerful countries, and it will not make us feel very backward. Of course, when developing this cannon, Mao Yuanshan also asked the developer to go through the back door.

Historically, the Soviet Union and Japan, including Germany, have successfully developed 280mm artillery, but the 280mm artillery they developed had disadvantages and could not be used in actual use on the battlefield. Just like the 280mm artillery developed by the Japanese during the Russo-Japanese War, most of them could not explode after the shells were fired. As a result, the Germans collected shells and used their artillery. The shells hit the Japanese, causing huge casualties to the Japanese devils themselves. This matter is a bit funny. Mao Yuanshan did not want the cannons he made to have such characteristics, so after the first sample was developed, Mao Yuanshan asked them to continue to improve until they could be used.

Originally, according to the security team's previous idea, they did not want to expose the security team's strength in this major exercise, but recently the Soviets won the Soviet-German battlefield, which made their ideas a little fluttering. They even wanted to regain Asia, but do you have that ability? It is for this reason that Mao Yuanshan approved the two 280mm artillery to be unveiled in the Shanghai military exercise, allowing experts from various countries to see that our manufacturing level in China has long exceeded their imagination, and also exposed them to Soviet spies to know that our China is not the soft persimmon. If you have endless energy, then use it on the Germans and never use it on us.

From the perspective of the German ambassador to China, we can see that the cannon is more than six meters long. One section of it consists of six wheels on one side, a total of 12 wheels. Wheel traction is a bit insufficient for the cannon, but Mao Yuanshan has no way to equip it with a crawler traction for the time being, so he can only use such wheel traction. Anyway, this thing can be pulled to the battlefield. This thing requires more than 20 people to operate. The traction platform lifts the shells and gunpowder to a horizontal position, and then the personnel push the ammunition from behind to load the ammunition. This is very complicated. Only one shell can be fired per minute.

"Isn't it just a 280mm cannon? What's the point of being strange? We Germans already had this level of artillery a long time ago. These Chinese people were really fussing. If they developed a 305mm cannon, would they all blow it into the sky? I really don't understand why they took out such artillery. I thought they had something to do!" The German ambassador to China did not study military weapons too deeply, but only some research on some ordinary weapons. As for such a war weapon, he just heard others say it. He had known that Germany had such artillery, but we didn't show it out like you.

"Mr. Ambassador, this is not the case. Although we Germans also have guns of this level, it is obvious that our fire rate is not as good as others. This gun can fire one shell in a minute, and our fastest speed is about 1.5 minutes. We must change the barrel after firing some shells. I think they have not changed the barrel at all. From the beginning to now, at least dozens of guns have been launched, and their speed has not decreased. This means that their artillery quality is also slightly stronger than ours. It seems that the Chinese have grown up like us. They are no longer our younger brothers. They are likely to be on par with us in the future, or even surpass us." This German military officer in China is also the first person in the entire German military to recognize the status of the Chinese army. Even if the other German troops admit it, they will never say it.

"If you say what you mean, are the Chinese steelmaking technology stronger than our Krupp's steelmaking technology? If so, we should remind our domestic industrial experts to pay attention and stop providing industrial assistance to China. We have cultivated such a terrible opponent for ourselves." The German ambassador to China said in surprise that these European capitalist countries all have a common idea, that is, when you are younger brothers, they will treat you very well, but if one day suddenly find that when your younger brother threatens his ability to be older brother, it will cut off all the assistance they give you, and want you to go back ten years ago overnight.

"It's too late to say this now. China's industrial strength has begun to take shape. The rest is to develop slowly. They have already passed that period of wild growth. If we were to punish China, it would have been two years ago. Unfortunately, that time was the best time for our relationship with China, and no one would listen to us." The military officer stationed in China said helplessly. For him, those people in China were too brainless.
