It is divided into three rows from top to bottom, with four gun barrels in each row mounted on a two-wheeled chassis, dragging a long drawbar. This is the image that appears in front of Comrade Ye Ye and the three future technology elites.
Unheard of, this was the first impression that came to the minds of the four people, but it seemed a bit familiar.
"Is this a swarm of bees from the Shenji Battalion?" Xiong Zhen looked at Liu Lang hesitantly after staring at the drawing for a long time.
Liu Lang couldn't help but give this person a thumbs up. He was worthy of being a future red military expert. He could see through the nature of the rocket launcher at a glance.
Indeed, the Katyusha developed by the polar bear applied the principle of the divine machine arrow, a war artifact developed by the Chinese ancestors 600 years ago.
As early as the early Ming Dynasty, the ancestors of the Chinese nation had already begun to equip the most powerful gunpowder weapon on the earth at that time - the magic arrow. Although its structure was very simple, it was almost similar to modern fireworks.
The flying monkey is an arrow tied with gunpowder that can provide thrust, and it relies on the thrust of the gunpowder to kill the enemy.
However, even in the future, the various rockets developed by various human countries that have left the earth and entered the universe will have no difference in principle from the magic arrows. The only change may be that the propellant gunpowder is changed into a more advanced fuel.
.
The swarm of bees that Xiong Zhen mentioned is proof that the Chinese ancestors developed war artifacts and war concepts to the pinnacle of the earth in that era.
Due to technical limitations, the magic arrow is the same as the rocket developed by humans 600 years later. With the help of gunpowder, it has sufficient lethality but lacks accuracy. So that’s easy! If the accuracy is not enough, make up for it with quantity. Single-shot magic arrows
The accuracy of machine arrows is not good, so launching a group of them at the same time to hit one side can make up for this shortcoming! The wisdom of the ancestors has made many modern people admire them.
The "swarm of bees" came into being. A box of 40 arrows was arrayed in front of the formation. Ten boxes could cover hundreds of feet in radius. This was probably China's earliest artillery tactic, and it also proposed the concept of coverage for the first time.
Liu Lang still remembers the old professor at the Nanjing Command College whose eyes were full of admiration when he told the class about the equipment and tactical concepts that the Chinese ancestors created 600 years ago that were world-leading.
The rocket launcher Liu Lang drew was exactly a gun developed by the Republic thirty years later that would dominate the scene at that time and even for decades to come - the Type 63 107 rocket launcher.
The caliber 107 mm is 385 kg in marching state, the total weight is 613 kg in combat state, the weight of a single ammunition is 18.8 kg, and the maximum range is 8.5 kilometers. The 63-type 107 rocket launcher, AK-47 assault rifle, and RPG-7 rocket launcher are among the three most famous in the world.
a conventional weapon.
Whether it was in the Vietnam War or Afghanistan, the 107 rocket launcher was a weapon and equipment that made opponents jealous.
Let’s first look at the power of the 107 artillery. The gun has 12 launch tubes and can complete a salvo in less than ten seconds, which is equivalent to the effect of a salvo of 12 guns in a howitzer battalion. The 18.8-kilogram rocket has a larger killing radius.
It is 12 meters high.
If we just say it is powerful, then we are really underestimating the future military industry of the Republic.
The firing principles of rocket launchers and howitzers are different. The rockets launched by rocket launchers fly by the thrust of their own engines and do not require complex anti-recoil devices, so the launcher structure is simple and lightweight. To put it bluntly, this gun body is what our ancestors used to install 600 years ago.
Box for machine arrows.
The entire 107 rocket launcher is only 2.6 meters long, 1.4 meters wide, and 1.1 meters high, including the drawbar. It weighs less than 400 kilograms without loading. A strong man can pull it and run. To say that this maneuverability is really unparalleled.
Already.
But this alone is not enough to describe the excellence of this gun. The most awesome design of the military engineers of the Republic is that this gun can be disassembled and fired. What does that mean? It has twelve barrels, and you can disassemble four of them individually
To launch, you can also disassemble two cannons to launch. Even if you dismantle one barrel, the design of the 20kg barrel and the 18.8kg rocket is enough to bear the burden of a strong soldier, and it can be used for you several kilometers away.
The enemy fired a rocket weighing 18.8 kilograms.
Do you think your enemies will be "surprised"? Quite shocked! In fact, those guys did this on the battlefield in North Vietnam. Six 107 rocket launchers were dismantled by a secret service battalion and quietly transported to the US military airport.
6 kilometers outside, then 6 rocket launchers and 72 rockets covered the airport within ten seconds. The entire airport was a sea of flames. The final casualty statistics showed that it was a trivial matter that all the planes were destroyed. The casualties of thousands of officers and soldiers were what the American cowboys saw.
of heartache.
Why does the U.S. psychological warfare department sourly call the three major conventional weapons headed by the 107 rocket launcher the three low-tech weapons that are "low technology, low price, and used by low-quality personnel"? That's because, since the military industry of the Republic has accounted for one-third of them
Since the advent of the three famous light weapons, the army of that country has not claimed to be the world's police. They have suffered more losses from these three weapons. Whether it was the Vietnam War or the later Iraq and Afghanistan, 107
The shadow of rocket launchers has always shrouded American soldiers armed to the teeth.
Even until those devout desert warriors wrapped in white cannons opened the back cover of the rocket and used two batteries and a piece of wire to launch a 107 rocket towards the enemy's base, no one knew that the Chinese were on the rocket.
Also draw what the ruler means.
The American soldiers who ran five or six kilometers to find the attacking enemy who had fled long ago cursed in their hearts for being "paralyzed". How could anyone carry a shell and fire it by themselves? However, the 107 artillery really did it. The military industry of the Republic
This design is similar to the old artillery from decades ago. Even before Liu Lang traveled through time, it was not only active in major battlefields around the world, but also a small number of 107 artillery pieces were in service with special forces in the increasingly modern Republic Army.
Produced by the military industry of the Republic, it is absolutely trustworthy. How could Liu Lang not think of this gun? Moreover, the best explanation is that Liu Lang did not come up with this thing called a rocket launcher by himself. Whether it is 600
The ancestors years ago, or the Red Polar Bear who already had the concept of rockets at this time, already had the prototype of rocket launchers. Although the Red Polar Bear did not create the world-famous Katyusha rocket launcher until after the war began.
"Yes, this is the main artillery of my future independent regiment. How about you guys taking a look?" Liu Lang asked with a smile.
"This shouldn't be inspired by our ancestors' magic machine arrows! It shouldn't be a European design. Their concept of making artillery is to emphasize accuracy. Tell me, where did this come from? No weapons were obtained.
If the design is authorized, I'm afraid there will be trouble when the time comes. This thing is not a light weapon like a machine gun." After Ye Qisun was briefly surprised, he looked at Liu Lang with a half-smile.
"Hey, when it comes to copycats, foreigners have been copycatting our Chinese gunpowder for hundreds of years, and they haven't paid us any royalties. Don't worry, Professor Ye, they are still experimenting. To be honest, they are just like them
I don’t even bother to use the thick, black design that only pursues firepower coverage.” Liu Lang pointed to the north and laughed.
"Although I don't know where you got the connections to unearth such a secret design over there, I have to remind you that this is extremely taboo for all countries. If you are caught, you will... let
You people over there should be careful, those who can get these treasures are all talented people." Ye Qisun reminded Liu Lang seriously, while looking at the tinderbox in front of him with a smile on his face.
Needless to say, the concept of rocket launchers is definitely an epoch-making work in this time period.
Liu Lang smiled slightly. The good-hearted Comrade Ye had nothing to worry about. That awesome "spy" was always in his head. If it weren't for the fact that China's current industrial base was so poor, neither metal smelting nor power transmission would be sufficient.
So much so, that he even wanted to build a 99 tank. The future main battle tank of the Republic would be able to beat the little devil's little bean sprouts into flight.
Unfortunately, that's just a thought.
At present, it is the truth to develop this affordable artifact first.
