"Is it 100 slides installed on it?" After all, they all came from the tank troops and could recognize the equipment at a glance: "Can this gun be installed on our wheeled chassis? Are you not afraid of overturning when firing the gun
?” Yu Shengli asked.
Looking at such a chassis and a large turret, it is always a bit inappropriate.
The current wheeled chassis is still three-axis, with six tires, and the body is not long. Such a car carries a turret with a big head, which makes people a little worried.
"Yes, we've been afraid of it, but, anyway, we've done research and made this one. We haven't turned over in the current test. Moreover, the fire control system used on it is our most advanced
.” Qin Zhenhua introduced.
For the 8*910 project, the first machine factory has made a lot of new things. The wheeled assault gun in front of me is just an attempt.
This is definitely the first attempt in China. In the past, there was absolutely no example of a large-caliber artillery installed on an armored vehicle!
If this experiment is successful, it will be of great significance. It will be easier to install such a large turret in the future with 8*8 chassis!
For domestic army, firepower is the king, and the stronger the firepower, the better. Even a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle is expected to have the ability to fight against the main battle tanks.
Now, standing in front of the chassis of this wheeled assault gun, Qin Zhenhua explained to the two of them.
"We have compared several times and decided to use 100 slides. After all, its recoil is smaller. If it is our latest 105mm, the recoil is too high and I am afraid it will not be able to operate. This 100 slide is better than our original one.
The 100-slide of the 69 tank has been improved, but the shells and the original 100-slide shells are universal, which minimizes logistical dependence."
In the past era, 100 slides were used in a small range in China, mainly on 69 tanks. As an attempt, the armor-piercing ability has been greatly improved, and other problems have also arisen, such as
It is said that the accuracy of the shell floats is reduced, etc.
Later, in order to improve the power of this cannon, Qin Zhenhua's father also sacrificed his life. Later, Qin Zhenhua also improved the more powerful armor-piercing bomb, and developed this cannon to mature.
Although it has matured, it has lost the possibility of assembly. After all, in comparison, the 105mm gun has better performance and good adaptability. The 69 tank quickly modified the 105mm tank gun and named it as the 79 tank.
The subsequent second-generation tanks also widely used this 105mm gun. Correspondingly, the larger-caliber gun used by the third-generation tanks was also selected to be 105mm caliber.
The 100mm smoothbore cannon was already the same yesterday.
When choosing the loading target of the wheeled assault gun, several comparisons showed that although the 105mm gun was better, its high chamber pressure and large charge also resulted in a great recoil. The previous 100mm rifled gun was used
, I felt it was a bit wasteful, so after a comparison, I chose this 100 slippery slipper and installed it on it, which seemed a bit alternative.
Since it is a wheeled chassis and the engine is in front, the turret is arranged behind the body, and the barrel is almost not extended far from the body, and the passability is also very good.
"This cannon is mainly used to aim and shoot directly." Qin Zhenhua said: "Hide it in the position. As long as the enemy's artillery fire opens, you can counterattack immediately. When the enemy's counterattack comes, the wheeled assault cannon here has already
Run away and retreat to another position."
This is the advantage of the chassis, just run after playing!
Now, this tank is just an internal test product of the factory, called the wheeled armored assault gun, which has not been shown to the army. Moreover, there were many ideas at the beginning. If the army didn't want it, it would still have the opportunity to export. Now,
When Qin Zhenhua heard Yu Shengli talk about the situation on the front line, he made this decision and simply sent these to the battlefield for testing!
When testing its performance on the battlefield, it can also gain high attention from the army. After millions of disarmament, the army will also move towards mechanization. This type of wheeled chassis vehicle has its unique advantages, in some cases
In terms of this, it can play a very important role.
Moreover, after the troops tried it, they praised the performance of this car and even made an exception. They couldn't wait to give it a 87 100mm 6×6 wheeled armored assault gun number.
"Is this car really going to be given to us for free?" Yu Shengli asked.
"That's of course." Qin Zhenhua said: "The battlefield is the best opportunity to test weapons and equipment, so let our assault gun show its power on the battlefield!"
"It's so good." Lin Zhu said at the back: "It looks good, it's mobile and flexible, and has advanced fire control. However, it is aiming directly after all. In our battlefield, the demand is more, and it is curved shooting.
Firepower.”
Each has its own advantages. The artillery that aims directly has high accuracy and fast reaction. It is naturally the weapon that the army needs most quickly to counterattack. However, this weapon also has its disadvantages. Since it aims directly to strike, it cannot deal with the enemy that hides.
.
Of course, tank guns can fire grenades and indirectly, but this method is not commonly used, and the elevation angle of this gun is not high enough to use more curved trajectories to attack enemies hiding behind the mountain.
"If you want to say that it is a mortar suitable for mountain combat, it is still a mortar." Yu Shengli said: "It's just that the existing mortars in our country are either too small in diameter and small in power, or they are inflexible and inconvenient to fight in mountain combat."
Speaking of mortars, the domestic equipment is a bit strange. For medium caliber mortars, the mainstream is 82/81 mm caliber, while for heavy duty, ordinary countries use 120 mm mortars, and some countries even use
There are also 160/240mm heavy mortars.
But what about China? The domestic 120mm mortar is not equipped with a large number of equipment, and even a unique 100mm mortar. Why is this?
The 120mm mortar is too big and too heavy!
The height of the entire cannon will exceed one person. Two people will need to be installed when installing a tripod, and four people will need to be pushed. Because it is too tall, even if it is tilted, the short loader cannot reach the muzzle.
There is an embarrassing situation where you cannot load.
For the Eastern powers that attach great importance to roundaboutness and interspers, 120mm caliber mortars are too inconvenient, especially for troops that attach importance to mountain combat, they are even more inefficient. They are forced to create a 100mm inequality.
Mortar.
However, the power of this 120mm mortar is quite good. After all, in artillery, the caliber is the truth.
"You said mortar, there is, this one here is it." Qin Zhenhua pointed to one next to him.
