Generally speaking, artillery soldiers look majestic. When the tow cannon is unfolded, and then several or more than a dozen cannons are fired together, the scene is majestic, making people feel the power of this god of war.
However, if it is evenly matched, artillery is not a good group of troops, and it is even more unsafe.
The suppression artillery is deployed behind the front line position, and it looks so majestic when it opens fire. However, as soon as it opens, there will be a gun aiming radar on the opposite side, which quickly solves the ballistics, determines the location of the artillery position that opened fire, and then,
Within minutes, the counterattack firepower came!
In the border wars in the past few years, the Eastern powers used this method to make the artillery on the opposite side cry and howl. As long as they open fire, they will be counterattacked immediately. The artillery positions are in a mess, so after they fight, they don’t dare to open fire.
It's completely suppressed.
Artillery will be bombarded by enemy artillery artillery. The consequences of the artillery are quite terrible. Often, when the artillery is killed, even a complete body cannot be found.
It was even more scary. The person who was killed by the large-caliber artillery was intact, bleeding from his orifices, and his eyes were squeezed out.
Therefore, to protect your artillery, you need to have the energy to fight and run away!
Therefore, artillery has gradually begun to change to this self-produced method, but the mainstream chassis that can be equipped with artillery is track-type.
The contact area of the crawler chassis is large enough that only the crawler chassis can withstand the strong recoil force when the cannon is fired. If it is a wheeled vehicle, as long as the cannon fires, the recoil force is enough to blow up all tires.
Therefore, if you want to launch directly on a truck, you must set up hydraulic legs around it and connect it directly to the ground, which will definitely increase the operating time for deployment and recycling, but no matter what, it will definitely be better than
Towing cannons is much better.
The traction artillery is definitely a physical job. When you arrive at the position, you remove the traction artillery, spread out your two huge tractor legs, and set up your tires. After doing it, the soldiers in the artillery squad are all sweating profusely. Then, you can shake the cannon manually.
, loading and other things are not easy, and they fired a few shots. In order to prevent them from being counterattacked, they also need to restore the cannon and drag it on the truck. If they are anxious, they may have to have a few more people.
Pushing the cannon away, this operation will almost make people exhausted.
Truck cannons are just a hydraulic outrigger. With a car as a chassis, it has power and may also provide various hydraulic assistance. Besides, the expansion and other things will be omitted. Overall, there are advantages.
.
"If you want to talk about self-propelled artillery, you still need a tracked chassis. This is the orthodox. Look at where cannons with truck chassis in the world?" said the person next to him.
There has never been a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle in the world before. Everyone expressed doubts about Qin Zhenhua's whimsical thoughts.
"Yes, there is no in the world. This is our innovation." Qin Zhenhua said: "It's not because our army has no money. If it's rich, why should we consider these?"
Truck cannon, the biggest advantage is saving money!
Originally, the troops had to have a tractor, but this 155mm howitzer must have a special tractor. Anyway, they all need it, so they should be combined together. For the troops, the procurement cost has not increased much, but it is still the same.
It is the procurement cost of towing artillery, but its performance has transitioned to the level of self-propelled artillery!
It’s not because we are poor, but poor people have to find ways to be poor.
The tracked type is too expensive. Even if it is domestic, it will be more than 2 million yuan per set. In comparison, the truck chassis will not exceed one million. If all domestic chassis are used,
It may even be reduced to 700,000 or 800,000. Isn’t it attractive to the troops?
Although the protection is definitely not as good as that of a tracked chassis, it is always much better than a trailing one?
"Yes, the plan you mentioned is still worthy." Xie Huimin said: "If you are interested in the machine factory and we are willing to help you with the corresponding supporting facilities, we will suffer some losses. Then, we will treat it as a
The products of your machine factory are ready."
This guy, old fox! Qin Zhenhua thought secretly in his heart.
One-machine factory is definitely not at ease now. After all, the trucks of the One-machine factory have not been produced yet. After it is produced, it will take several years to stabilize the product quality, reduce costs, and increase the domestic production rate.
Come on, I will definitely not be able to catch up with this military parade. I guess it will not be available for this until the 1990s.
Even though we knew we didn’t have time, they were just helping with supporting facilities and were not proactive at all. They showed you the momentum of getting 120mm self-propelled anti-tank guns.
I cursed a few words in my heart, and knew that this plan was only a concept for the time being. If I had the chance in the future, the one-machine factory really wanted to get one.
However, the idea of loading the cannon onto the truck has always been lingering. Since we can't do a big fight, can we do a small fight?
Inspiration suddenly appeared, this is the difference between geniuses and ordinary people. After Qin Zhenhua temporarily put this plan on hold, his mind turned around and thought of a new plan.
"Since our cannons cannot be loaded into the truck, then how about loading the truck into the cannon?" Qin Zhenhua began to fool him again.
"What did you say? What a joke, how can a truck be loaded into a cannon?"
"If the big truck can't be installed, can the small truck not work?" Qin Zhenhua said to Xie Huimin with a smile: "This 155mm caliber howitzer must be very large in size. If it is welded a bracket on its gun mount, just
If you can install an engine, the power does not need to be too strong. It is enough to have dozens of horsepower. As for mobility, we don’t want to run fast on land. The key is to use it when entering and withdrawing from the position. What do you think
?”
"This idea can be considered." Xie Huimin became keen on this method. Because compared to the previous plan, this plan seems to be easier and easier to implement. Not to mention other benefits, it only gives the cannon power to the cannon
The gas cylinder equipped with the machine is very convenient for the use of the troops. According to the design, the gas cylinder is usually inflatable and can be used for 100 bullets at a time. Although one hundred times are enough, if it can
Inflate at any time, it will naturally be even better.
