Walking into a huge underground bunker, through the lookout, a huge plain area appeared in everyone's field of vision. The deputy director Wang Guoqiang, the commander-in-chief in charge of the weapons test, pointed directly opposite, an area several meters in diameter
He introduced it to the commanders around him in a narrow strip of land.
"Reporting to the leaders, what you see in front of you is the test site for various artillery pieces of our Fengtian Arsenal. The artillery test site was built by taking advantage of the mountainous terrain here. It covers an area of about 2,200 acres and runs from northwest to southeast.
It is about three thousand meters wide and about five hundred meters wide. Leaders can use telescopes to observe it. After our modifications, the natural environment here is extremely suitable for the needs of various artillery tests."
While talking, Liu Hua and the leaders behind him, reminded by Wang Guoqiang beside him, picked up the military telescopes handed over by the staff and carefully observed the experimental site ahead.
Looking around, we can see that the so-called artillery test site is indeed built using the terrain of the surrounding mountains. The terrain environment surrounded by mountains on three sides is not only convenient for weapons testing, but also conducive to the need for confidentiality. At the foot of the mountain in the distance, there are more than a dozen
The artificially built bunker-shaped buildings of different sizes reminded the commanders who rushed here in a hurry of the various bunker fortifications built by the Japanese army during their daily battles.
Beyond the bunker, behind the bunker, there are various artificial terrains, including swamps, ponds, river branches, slopes, woods, etc. From the middle of the bunker, there are trenches one after another, about a thousand
The distance is about 1,500 meters to about 1,500 meters. There are many dummies made of straw in the trenches, as well as machine gun positions, artillery positions, command posts, etc. In a word, what you can usually see on the battlefield are
Almost everything can be clearly seen in this small artillery experimental factory.
Following Liu Hua, a group of commanders with rich combat experience saw the test site in front of them and knew very clearly: These arrangements must be used to test the specific killing effect of artillery shells after they explode. The front of the trench
There are various shooting targets at different distances. Some look like standing enemies, some look like half-crouching or lying down enemies, and some look more like they have chosen cover...
"Okay, this weapons testing site is well built and looks a bit formal..." Liu Hua quickly glanced at the site in front of him and said with a smile on his face.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, as far as I know, there is no such large-scale and formal weapons testing site in the entire country. It seems that this weapons testing site under the Fengtian Arsenal of our Northeast Field Army has set a new precedent in the country.
..." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan followed closely behind and said with the same happy face...
"I would like to report to all the leaders that such a huge project can still achieve such good results because of the comrades of the Special Warfare Division. Under the guidance of several engineers from our arsenal and based on their own actual combat experience, it took a whole week
The construction has just been completed. If the leaders want to praise, they must praise the comrades of the special warfare division." Seeing the smiling leaders in front of him, Wang Guoqiang quickly replied.
"In order to achieve the best results for this weapons testing site, during this week, it can be said that they worked day and night. Each of them made a huge effort for this weapons testing site."
"Okay, since Factory Director Wang said it, we will do it. Political Commissar, after you return, report your praise to the entire field army, and give third-class collective merit to all the commanders and fighters of the special warfare division." Liu Hua ordered very decisively.
"Boss, don't worry. After I return, I will immediately commend the special operations division in the name of the field army headquarters and throughout the army, and record third-class collective merit once..." Political Commissar Luo Ronghua promised.
Liu Hua nodded, raised the telescope in his hand, and looked outside the underground bunker at the test site with a radius of several kilometers. He saw dozens of soldiers gathering together on the artillery position about two hundred meters away from the bunker.
Liu Hua was busy assembling something. Liu Hua asked with a smile on his face.
"Director Wang, we are all here now. Which weapon are you going to demonstrate to us next? Let us open our eyes."
"Reporting to the leaders, what I will demonstrate to you next is the 'Zhonghua Type 1 105mm Multiple Rocket Launcher' that the soldiers are assembling two hundred meters away. Next, I will take advantage of the gap when the soldiers are assembling the artillery to show you
Let me briefly introduce the specific performance of this weapon just developed by our Fengtian Arsenal?" Wang Guoqiang pointed to the soldiers who were busy not far away and answered to Liu Hua in front of him.
"As far as I know, this kind of weapon has not yet been installed in other countries in the world, including the United States. Only the Soviet Red Army is in the process of developing a number of new weapon systems. And the 'Zhonghua Type 1' we developed
The 105mm multiple rocket launcher is mainly used as a fire support weapon at the division level."
"Wait a minute, Deputy Director Wang. What kind of rocket launcher are you talking about? Even the U.S. Army has not equipped it. The Soviet Red Army was in the middle of a research and development cutoff, and we developed it." Just as Wang Guoqiang finished speaking, Political Commissar Luo Luo
Ronghua asked with a shocked look on his face.
Because in his heart, a heavy weapon that had not been developed even by the advanced United States and the Soviet Union was actually developed by a backward country like his. This had to shock and disbelief to him.
More importantly, although our own troops are equipped with many large-caliber howitzers captured from the Japanese army on the battlefield, due to transportation and ammunition problems, coupled with the Japanese air superiority, in terms of heavy fire support at the division level, unless
Except for particularly large battles, the large-caliber artillery of the heavy artillery brigade will basically not be used.
And the weapon that Wang Guoqiang is about to introduce in front of him, if it has excellent performance, can just make up for the shortcomings of his own army's lack of heavy firepower. And this is exactly the issue that political commissar Luo Ronghuan is most concerned about. Thinking of this, Luo Ronghuan's eyes immediately revealed
With a hint of sharpness, he waited for Wang Guoqiang's answer in front of him.
In the underground bunker, under the expectant gazes of all the commanders, Wang Guoqiang spoke.
"Basketball launchers are actually not a new weapon system. They have been used in the military as early as the Song Dynasty in China. The rocket weapons developed include swarm of swarms, directional rods, ten thousand enemies, etc., all of which are
It is the original form of rocket launcher weapon system."
Seeing that everyone was staring at him dumbfounded because of his unexpected explanation, waiting for the next step. Wang Guoqiang continued to speak.
"After the last world war, due to the invention of machine guns, weapons of mass destruction systems have attracted great attention from militaries and arms companies around the world. Countries such as Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Soviet Union are all secretly developing rocket launcher weapon systems, and they all
There has been considerable progress. What we are going to show to the leaders is a multiple rocket launcher system, the principle of which first came from the swarm of bees in the Song Dynasty of China."
"The Chinese Type-1 105mm Multiple Launch Rocket Launcher is a six-tube rocket launcher system that can fire six 105mm rockets at one time. The longest range reaches six kilometers, the effective range is four to five kilometers, and the effective killing area that can be covered by one launch is 80
square meter. The total weight of the weapon system is relatively light, only 280 kilograms, and its largest component is only 25 kilograms. Therefore, the Chinese Type-1 105mm multiple rocket launcher also has good maneuverability and can be towed by mules or cars.
After disassembly, it is transported by manpower. In particular, under special circumstances, single, double or triple tubes can also be used to implement simple launches."
"Another important advantage is that the launch preparation time and launch time of the China Type 1 105mm multiple rocket launcher are very short. One rocket launcher of this type can be assembled or disassembled within fifteen minutes, and all can be completed within six seconds.
The firepower of a salvo of rockets is very violent compared with other artillery."
"At the same time, this weapon system can also be disassembled to a certain extent for independent special operations. A muscular special forces soldier can carry this single-barreled rocket launcher and two artillery shells to a
Launch point. Attack the enemy's key targets from a long distance and then evacuate safely. It is worth mentioning that when necessary, the 105mm artillery shells do not need a launching device. They are placed directly on the ground, and after aiming, use a few ordinary batteries and two ordinary
It can be launched using iron wire or wire, and the operation is very simple."
Although Liu Hua, as the commander-in-chief, is very familiar with this kind of rocket launcher, which is almost common in African countries in later generations. However, after hearing Wang Guoqiang’s detailed introduction in front of him, he still couldn’t help but applaud. After all, he has the power in his hands.
With such a secret weapon, there will be more possibilities for victory in future battles.
As a burst of warm applause rang out in the underground bunker, Commander Sun Xingbang, who was lying at the lookout of the bunker and watching the artillery position two hundred meters away, couldn't help but let out a little exclamation.
"Okay, the rocket launcher is out. Commander-in-Chief, the rocket launcher is out..."
As soon as Sun Xingbang finished speaking, a group of commanders standing behind Liu Hua, including political commissar Luo Ronghuan, raised their telescopes at almost the same time. Through the lookout in front of them, they quickly looked at hundreds of
The artillery position where the meter was headed.
Sure enough, about two hundred meters away from the bunker, three strange-looking six-barreled weapon systems stood on the gun emplacement. It was obvious that these were the rocket launchers that Wang Guoqiang mentioned. And next to these three rocket launchers
, several soldiers were quickly stuffing thick ammunition into the long barrel, waiting for the final launch.
"Reporting to all leaders, this is the China Type 1 105mm multiple rocket launcher newly developed by our Fengtian Arsenal. At present, this rocket launcher is the first rocket launcher produced and finalized in China, and it is also the first rocket launcher in the entire Asia."
Pointing to the three rocket launchers on the gun emplacement not far away, Wang Guoqiang introduced them with a proud face.
Just as Wang Guoqiang finished speaking, a commander ran over quickly and loudly reported to the commanders in the bunker in front of him.
"Reporting to all leaders, Director Wang, all gun positions are ready and waiting to be fired..."
"Very good, I order the bunker group 1,500 meters directly in front of the target. Each gun position fires rapidly and launches immediately..." Wang Guoqiang turned to the commander at the door and ordered with excitement. Then, a pair of
There was also a look of expectation in his eyes, and he quickly looked through the lookout port at the artillery position two hundred meters away.
In the bunker, under everyone's gaze, as a commander waved the small red flag in his hand vigorously from the artillery position, a huge roar immediately sounded from the three artillery positions: "Launch..."
"Swish swish... swish swish... swish swish..."
Immediately afterwards, rows of rockets roared out of the long barrel. The smoke produced by the shells' tail flames enveloped the entire artillery position in just a moment.
Rocket trajectories quickly swept through the sky, forming obvious white smoke trails. However, they were quickly blown away by the wind. In just a few seconds, the bunkers and trenches in the distance erupted.
There were violent explosions, and it was like being bombed by bombs dropped by bombers.
Needless to say, the sight of the rocket launcher was spectacular, but time also passed quickly. Before everyone realized it, the launch was over, as if in the blink of an eye. All the commanders in the covert department were stunned.
They held up the binoculars in their hands, but no one put them down. Even the commander-in-chief Liu Hua was astonished by the power of the Zhonghua Type 105mm multiple rocket launcher.
"Let's go and take a look at the effects of the shelling..." After half a minute of shock, whoever was the first to react shouted loudly to everyone in the concealment department. However, just as he finished speaking, someone stood up
The commanders behind Liu Hua, except for the political commissar Luo Ronghua, all rushed out of the hiding place in a swarm. Then, they rushed towards the shooting range not far away.
Looking at the excited people around him, Liu Hua shook his head with a wry smile and asked Wang Guoqiang in front of him: "Director Wang, although I have not seen the final effect of the bombardment, I am sure that such a dense
A short artillery attack will definitely have a devastating blow to the infantry and various light and heavy weapons exposed on the position. Therefore, for this weapon, the arsenal must seize the time to produce it. How about, Director Wang, for this rocket launcher
, what is the specific production capacity of the arsenal?”
"Reporting to the head, for this kind of rocket launcher, the artillery is more difficult to produce than the shells. At present, if we focus on the production of this rocket launcher, we can achieve the production capacity of five artillery pieces and 300 rocket rounds per day..."
"Okay, Nissan has produced five rocket launchers, which is already very good. In this way, Director Wang, I will give you another task. In addition to the semi-automatic rifles just mentioned, you must produce sixty rocket launchers for me within half a month.
Rocket launchers and corresponding ammunition. Of course, the more rockets the better, is there any problem?" Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction and then ordered.
"Please rest assured, chief, and promise to complete the task..." After a brief thought, Wang Guoqiang replied confidently.
After measuring the specific effects of the shelling, a staff officer quickly came to the concealment department. At this moment, after observing the effects of the shelling, commanders at all levels with expressions of shock and excitement also returned.
The concealment department was waiting for the staff officer in front of them to report the specific shelling effects.
"Reporting to all leaders, Director Wang, the bombardment site survey has been completed!" Under everyone's expectant gazes, the staff officer standing in front of everyone quickly reported loudly.
"The commander-in-chief and all the chiefs are here. Please report the specific situation..." Wang Guoqiang nodded and replied to the staff officers in front of him.
"Yes..." the staff officer replied loudly. He quickly opened the notebook in his hand and reported to the commanders in front of him.
"The Chinese Type-1 105mm multiple rocket launcher live-fire test, three salvos fired a total of 18 rockets, with a launch distance of 1570 meters. According to the on-site survey, all rockets were concentrated in the target area, and there were no dumb bombs. The artillery fire coverage area, east and west
It is 61 meters long and 47.5 meters wide from north to south. All surface positions in the target area were destroyed, and the half-covered underground concealment was defeated."
"According to the on-site investigation, the furthest killing radius of rocket fragments is 45.2 meters, and the effective killing radius is 25.5 meters. The maximum crater diameter is 2.8 meters, the minimum crater diameter is 1.7 meters, the maximum crater depth is 1.5 meters, and the minimum crater depth is 0.72 meters. The maximum rocket fragments are 41 meters.
Millimeters by 27 millimeters, the smallest fragment is 22 millimeters by 13 millimeters. After the report, on-site investigation staff: Yan Fukuan, Dong Chunwei."
"Very good. Let's send the on-site investigation report to the evaluation room of the arsenal." After hearing the continuous data exchange in the mouth of the staff officer in front of him, Wang Guoqiang nodded with great satisfaction. He quickly took the record book and signed his name on it.
, ordered to the staff officer in front of him.
"Yes, Chief..."
"Reporting to all leaders, this is the first three-gun salvo test since the development of the Chinese Type-1 105mm multiple rocket launcher. Judging from the specific shooting effects and the results of the explosion site investigation, it not only fully achieved the expected design effect
, or even better. The on-site explosion effect shows that the power of the rocket launcher salvo far exceeds the effect of a single shot. Not only does it cover a large area, the explosion effect is good, but also the short-term critical vacuum state formed by the simultaneous explosion of a large number of rockets increases.
The killing effect is greater." Looking at the staff officers leaving quickly, Wang Guoqiang said proudly to the leaders at all levels in front of him.
"Bah bang bang..." As soon as Wang Guoqiang finished speaking, the leaders at all levels, headed by Liu Hua, immediately responded with warm applause. The entire hidden department was immediately enveloped in warm applause.
