What should I do when the tanks designed were not appreciated? Koshkin made a choice, and made a big rotation, and personally led two T-34 tanks to Kharkov-Moscow-Smolensk-
The Kiev-Kharkov long-distance driving test, through this experiment, confirmed the reliability of this tank, and left a deep impression on Stalin who was observing the experiment in Moscow.
Unfortunately, everyone knows the weather in the Soviet Union. It’s cold and cold. Koshkin was originally a technician and was in poor health. During the experiment, he was infected with pneumonia and became ill due to overwork. He eventually died.
It's right.
He did not see this tank shining in the war, and the proud T-34 completed the entire World War II and then became the T-44. After improvement, the T-54 became famous all over the world!
Now, when Qin Zhenhua mentioned this, it was naturally a point of reference. He looked at Mr. Zhu and nodded seriously: "That's right, I'll drive all the way! From the grassland city, move to the capital! Use our actual actions
, show the excellent performance of our 80 tanks!”
If your superiors don’t agree, then let’s show it to your superiors!
From the grassland city to the capital, the distance is hundreds of kilometers! There are grasslands, mountains, hills, and various terrain along the way. After the entire itinerary, it is estimated that it will reach thousands of kilometers! For the 80 tank, after walking this
A distance, that would be an excellent show!
There is no such thing in China. Tanks leave the factory, which passes through trains. The first-machine factory directly has a special train station. The military trains are almost every week. Tanks leave the factory and can reach the target troops all the time. They are in the military shooting range.
, started back and forth, and had never been driven directly from the tank factory to the army.
This is a long-distance test!
"But what should I do if the road is destroyed along the way?" Wang Erzhu asked from the side.
If the tank wants to go out, then you have to walk. What road should you take? If you go up the asphalt road, you will destroy the road. If you go out in the wild, the large area of grass will probably be destroyed. After all, he is
Those who grew up on the grassland always feel that this is not good.
"We use rubber tracks," said Qin Zhenhua: "Anyway, when participating in the military parade, we have to use rubber tracks, so that we can't destroy the ground of the parade ground."
Tracks are a prelude to the tank's advancement. It is precisely because of the track that the tank can walk on flat ground. However, because of the track, the tank has a great destructive effect on the ground during its advancement.
Generally speaking, tanks are operating in the field, so even if the ground is destroyed, it doesn’t matter. It just treats it as arable land. However, if it is a military parade, it will be bad to destroy the ground.
Therefore, in this planned military parade, all tanks must be equipped with rubber tracks.
(The hero of East China is a military blind man and has been scolded so badly. I wonder if anyone will say that single-sale tracks cannot be glued! Now in Russia, during the military parade, there are still a large number of tanks that destroy the ground, just like the T-72
The tank is not glued, because it is a single-sale track! Well, the military blind man of East China, I don’t know if the single-sale track can be glued, but East China, I know that since the military parade in 1984, all vehicles participating in the military parade
, they are all with glue-mounted tracks. Whether it is the latest 79 tank or the old 59-2 tank, all of them are.)
The rubber-hanging track can not only solve the problem of destroying the road in the city. Even if you go to the wild, the rubber-hanging track can bring a relatively comfortable riding environment because it has a buffer contact with the ground. Therefore, the rubber-hanging track can
, has excellent performance.
The only disadvantage is that it is too expensive!
After all, making a pair of tracks is not small, and if you want to hang rubber on it, the cost is even higher. This is not ordinary rubber. It must have higher tensile strength and fixed extension stress.
Abrasion resistance, good scorch performance and processing operation safety, etc.
Therefore, refining this kind of rubber is also a special mission. In China, qualified rubber for track hanging rubber has been manufactured in the past few years.
In the hot refining and vulcanization process of this kind of rubber hanging glue, natural rubber, sulfur, zinc oxide, stearic acid, paraffin, pine tar and other raw materials, as well as corresponding accelerators and anti-aging agents. However, how is the performance of rubber hanging tracks?
, it's just a normal test.
After all, this thing is too expensive and ordinary troops don’t need it. After designing it, simple tests will be left behind and will not be taken out until the military parade is about to be taken out.
Just in time, I will also test the performance of this kind of rubber-hanging track. How much will the rubber block fall when moving under various road surfaces? Can it withstand the test?
"I think it's OK," said Zhu Lao. "This long-distance test is of great significance to the development of our equipment. However, for safety reasons, I suggest adding two more logistics support vehicles."
It is not possible to send only one tank out. I won’t say anything else. What should I do if there is no oil in the wilderness?
There must be a logistics support vehicle, one car transports oil, and one car transports various spare parts and repair tools. What if it breaks?
Don't fight unprepared wars.
Mr. Zhu’s suggestion made sense, and Qin Zhenhua also nodded solemnly: “We will prepare for a week, and after a week, we will set off!”
Things were decided like this, and after hearing this news, the entire factory was in full swing. A worker wrote a petition asking to follow the test team together. Everyone's enthusiasm was high. About T
The story of -34 test is also circulating in everyone's mouth, and everyone is full of expectations.
Qin Zhenhua, who was busy and worried about this incident, also encountered many new problems. For example, Xie Huimin came up the next day.
"Zhenhua, can the self-propelled anti-tank gun we jointly developed participate in this long-distance test?" Xie Huimin asked Qin Zhenhua.
Self-propelled anti-tank guns, but they do not have a formal identity yet. They are still developed by two factories by themselves. It can be said that if this self-propelled anti-tank gun can make a name for itself in this long-distance test, then maybe,
The superior likes him and becomes a regular person?
They can't wait for it.
However, this proposal was immediately denied by Qin Zhenhua.
"No, this self-propelled anti-tank gun has not completed all the tests inside the factory and does not meet this condition." Qin Zhenhua said coldly. Looking at Xie Huimin's unwilling face, he could only lower his voice and make a sound.
Come on with a patient look.
"Old Xie, I know your thoughts, but when you are unsure, don't take them out. If something goes wrong on the road, it will have a counterproductive effect. If nothing else, there are blockbusters on our way forward.
In the mountains, our self-propelled artillery has a high center of gravity. What if it fails? I can't take this responsibility."
