Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters cannons walking on their own
Towing artillery, even if it is a off-road tractor that is mobile with all-wheel motors, cannot completely drag the artillery to its predetermined position.
Therefore, after the cannon is removed from the tractor, it usually needs to be pushed by people to reach the predetermined position. This is a complete physical task.
When the gun is fired and withdraws from the position, the same operation is also done. The gunner consumes a lot of physical strength, requires a lot of people, and is slow. Under modern counterattack artillery fire, this method is too slow and too dangerous.
It's right.
Now, Qin Zhenhua proposed that with a special engine can solve the problem.
This engine doesn't have to be particularly large, as long as it can drive the cannon to maneuver. No matter how slow the speed is, it is faster than the gunner's push, right?
Moreover, in this way, the physical energy consumption of gunners' human push can be saved, and gunners spend more energy on special fire shooting.
This is simply tailor-made for the traction artillery! Used when entering and withdrawing the position, the effect is just right!
In fact, although both sides responded very quickly during the artillery bombardment, the area covered by artillery fire was limited after all. It would be enough to transfer the artillery position for a few kilometers. At that time, it would be possible to re-emerge.
Recover and fire at the enemy's artillery positions.
In this process, there is no need to add a tractor, just use your own power to drive it over, and that's all.
This benefit alone allowed Xie Huimin to see its tactical value at a glance, which was simply tailor-made for the traction artillery!
Even if it is a 155mm heavy artillery, its own weight is less than ten tons. With an engine worth dozens of horsepower, it is already very good. Even if it is Lao Jiefang, the engine only has dozens of horsepower?
The main problem of using this kind of engine to drive the cannon is not insufficient power, but the unbalanced cannon. After all, such a long gun barrel may overturn with a bump. This is the most important issue in limiting speed.
Unless you have another twenty-ton chassis, it will be expensive!
This idea is really good! Xie Huimin showed joy when he heard this, and at this time, Qin Zhenhua continued to introduce the use of this method.
"In addition to using it when entering and withdrawing from the position, even when you encounter special road conditions during normal marching, you can also start its engine to help pass, especially on muddy roads, sandy roads, and some places with sharp turns
, it's all good."
A ten-ton cannon cannon cannot be easily pulled even with an off-road chassis truck. After all, field troops cannot travel only on highways, on some rural roads, in rainy and snowy weather, etc.
Many times I can't help myself.
Sometimes, if you can't pull it over, the gunners need to push the cannon together. These are a huge burden. Even if you can't pull the cannons through in some sharp turns, you have to separate the car and the cannon.
With auxiliary power, everything is much better. When needed, turn on our power device! Take the muddy area for example. After turning on the engine, the cannon itself has power. The wheel of the cannon is also driving wheel. It makes a sharp turn.
There is no problem in the place where we have to take off the cannons before we can get over it. We can drive over it by ourselves.
"Although we have never been exposed to our cannon, we can also know that such a large caliber cannon is very difficult to operate, which seriously affects the launch of the cannon. If an auxiliary power system is added, various assistance can be used.
The device realizes semi-mechanized operation and reduces the physical energy consumption of the gunner."
In self-propelled artillery, semi-automatic loaders have been started. It is because large-caliber artillery and shell handling and loading are very difficult. If there is this condition in self-propelled artillery, this condition will naturally be required.
What about the tow artillery?
For example, picking up the cannons, opening and striking them, lifting and landing cannons, just take loading bullets as an example, more than 40 kilograms! That’s right, it’s the order of magnitude, which is equivalent to the weight of a junior high school girl, picking up the junior high school girl,
Although it is tired, but happy, holding this cold shell is an absolute physical work, a kind of physical work that makes people feel depressed.
Now, after installing this power system, we can naturally reduce the operational intensity of the gunner through some assist methods.
"That's right, you're right. We can try this!" Xie Huimin said.
"So, do you need to cooperate?" Qin Zhenhua asked.
In fact, if you don’t cooperate, the second machine factory can do it with their own strength. However, if you have the help of the first machine factory, it will be different. The progress will be faster, and perhaps you can still catch up with 8*
What about the 910 project?
Thinking of this, my heart was warm: "Of course I need it, I hope you can help us."
"Okay, then let's put together the total." Qin Zhenhua said: "The engine does not need to be too powerful, but it is best to use a diesel engine. Just choose one of our domestic 493 series diesel engines."
Gasoline is not suitable because gasoline is easy to evaporate. If the fire is fired while working and the volatile gasoline steam is suddenly ignited, the joke will be huge.
It can only be diesel. Although the diesel engine has a large vibration, howitzers rely on the killing of the surface. After one shot, the area of the basketball court is as big as a basketball court is dead. At this time, the left side is one meter or one meter on the right side.
What's the difference?
"If you turn, it should be the easiest to use the rear gun tail wheel to control it. The principle we need to adopt should be to be as simple as possible and not to make this system too complicated. In short, it is a vassal of the gun.
It is the truck inside the cannon, not the cannon inside the truck."
Qin Zhenhua said that he was talking endlessly, and in this process, the others could only look at him with helpless eyes.
Today, we are here to test our 125mm gun from the 85 tank. What a good thing. Now we have talked about the 155mm howitzer. This divergent thinking is really ridiculous.
After this discussion, this day is about to pass! The cool breeze blew on the grassland, and the fresh scent of the grassland floated in the air. When I was about to finish the work of this day, suddenly,
A message came.
The superiors formally decided to disarmament by one million!
Although I had a premonition, when this order came out, it still surprised many people. This was a big deal. The country's total troops of four million were dismissed by one million, which was equivalent to directly laying off a quarter of the troops.
