Chapter 163
PS: The previous chapter has already been hung, under revision, waiting to be released.
For the truck gun project, Zhang Xueming did not expect that the progress would be so rapid.
This weapon is the core of the motorized unit's heavy firepower.
Therefore, Zhang Xueming also requested that mass production be completed as soon as possible and serve the army.
The development of this artillery is the Army Artillery Engineering Research Institute under the Northern Ordnance Industry Group.
This institute is also one of the earliest scientific research institutions.
The scientific research strength is still very strong.
And this gun was not developed by them alone.
Instead, it was jointly developed with FAW Group.
FAW Group will provide the truck platform.
They chose a 6×6 ten-wheeled off-road military truck chassis specially developed by FAW Group for the troops.
The truck uses a high-horsepower diesel engine.
Since entering the army, off-road performance has been excellent and reliable.
It has gradually replaced the previous American-made trucks.
It became the main force of the 10-ton heavy truck of the troops. (10 tons carrying capacity non-self-weight)
The gun used the 155 mm howitzer of Eagle Sauce.
Due to advances in materials.
The original architecture has been lightweighted.
And successfully transplanted this truck on it.
In addition, in order to guarantee the stability of its design.
A four-legged hydraulics were also added around the truck.
When fired, these hydraulics unfold, unloading part of the recoil.
In addition to this, there is a large retractable hydraulic tail hoe at the tail.
It is also to reduce the vibration during launch and resist its strong recoil.
In general, though.
This truck gun is somewhat rudimentary and crude, though.
Da has a silly black coarse temperament of a hairy weapon.
But Zhang Xueming is still quite satisfied.
After all, it can be completed in just a few months.
It's already pretty good.
"Tell me about it. "
An engineer hurriedly said, "Yes, Commander."
The total weight of our vehicle-mounted howitzer firing system is controlled at about 20 tons.
The firing range was also 2 km higher than that of the prototype gun, reaching a range of 25 km.
If you use extended-range projectiles, the maximum range can even reach 35 kilometers.
Its chassis is also very good, and the off-road performance is very good.
The maximum maneuvering speed can reach 80 km/h. "
The performance is really good.
The firing range of up to 35 kilometers has far exceeded the current heavy artillery of the same caliber.
It has a great advantage in range.
And if it is counterattacked by the opposing side's artillery fire.
It is also possible to quickly maneuver transfer.
Of course, the most important thing is to be able to follow the motorized force to move forward.
And not like the original.
It is also necessary for the main forces to wait for the artillery to be in position before they can start fighting.
"How's the reliability?"
The engineer confidently assured: "Both the truck and the gun use a mature platform.
We have gone through a lot of testing and the stability is still very high.
That is, the life of the hydraulic device is not very high.
I will continue to improve. "
Zhang Xueming nodded and said, "Show me a show, I'll see the effect." "
As soon as the commander gave an order, how dare they not obey.
In less than five minutes, three 155mm truck guns were lined up.
The muzzle was aimed at a mountainside target several kilometers away.
"Put.!"
"Boom... Rumble.... Boom....."
Cannons rang out one after another.
Under the roar of heavy artillery, as well as under strong recoil.
The large hydraulic shovel at the tail jerked backwards.
At the same time, the four-legged hydraulics used to stabilize the body also sank.
Under the action of hydraulic shock absorbers.
The vehicle did not shake violently.
Under the dust, three full-charge shells accurately hit the mountain several kilometers away.
Three clouds of smoke rose into the sky.
Zhang Xueming couldn't help but applaud.
"Good, good, you deserve to be contributed.
I will make a good claim and give you a collective third-class merit. "
The surrounding staff immediately showed a happy expression on their faces.
The engineer hurriedly said modestly: "This is what we should do." "
In the current Northeast meritorious system.
Honor represents not only honor, but also money.
It's like they got a third-class merit.
After future retirement, in addition to the monthly pension.
An additional 10% increase in retirement pension is also available every month.
And this thing can still be stacked.
Heroes cannot be allowed to shed blood and tears.
He can't guarantee anything else, but at least he needs to ensure that these heroes can live a good life after retiring.
After all, after retirement, honor cannot be eaten.
And these subsidies can at least make their lives a little better.
It is precisely because of this that the evaluation of the merit system is still very strict.
Can get a collective third-class merit.
It is already a great honor for them.
This is also Zhang Xueming's reward for them.
But he knew that in order to quickly develop truck guns and rocket launchers.
People from both project teams are still working overtime.
Some people haven't been home for a month or two.
Their spirit of selfless dedication is very worthy of recognition.
"Let's go, take me to see the rocket launcher again." "
This is the focus of Zhang Xueming's visit this time.
This rocket launcher was used to replace the Katyusha rocket launcher in active service in the army.
Long ago, the Rocket Propulsion Research Institute began the development of small solid rocket motors.
The development work was completed at the end of last year.
Not only for rocket power systems.
It will also serve as a power system for some guided weapons.
With a new engine, a new type of rocket was naturally developed.
Caliber 127 mm, weight 82 kg for long range, 56 kg for short range. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)
Short range 8.5 km, long range 12 km.
A total of 50 packs.
It is arranged in five layers, each with 10 launch tubes.
The same off-road heavy truck as a truck gun for the chassis, with a combat weight of 15 tons.
The reason why this rocket launcher was able to be developed so early.
In fact, it is thanks to the Navy's 10,000-ton arsenal support ship project.
This rocket launcher turned out to be on board an arsenal support ship.
This arsenal ship can carry a total of ten launchers with fifty mounts.
This rocket launcher is a project developed by the Army Artillery Engineering Research Institute.
The army needed a new wheeled self-propelled rocket launcher to replace the Katyusha rocket launcher.
The weight is required to be within 15 tons, and at the same time it must be fierce firepower.
As soon as they saw it, they simply transplanted the rocket artillery system of the arsenal support ship.
It also took some effort to reduce the original weight of 16 tons to 14.8 tons.
This is the real big guy.
If it starts.
It can be described as heartbreaking.
Ten of these rocket launchers can fire 500 at a time.
In terms of fire intensity, it far surpasses Katyusha.
Not to mention the range.
"Does it have a name?"
The engineer quickly shook his head.
They all knew that the commander preferred to name various weapons and equipment.
So they took it and naturally said they didn't take it.
They still understand this.
Zhang Xueming nodded and said, "Then call it hail."
Let our rockets fall like hail on enemy positions. "
Then he said to everyone: "Since the development work has been completed, let them be mass-produced as soon as possible."
Catch up with our October offensive. "
The October offensive was precisely the operational plan for the southwestern region drawn up by the General Staff.
The time of the battle was set for October 1.
The five warlords of Sichuan, Yunxi, Gui, Gui, and Yue were all within the operational plan of the October Offensive.
After this battle, except for two frontier provinces.
Just leave a Jiang bald head alone.
At that time, the forces in the northeast would also firmly surround Jiang Guangtou's national unification area.
For this October offensive and the future battle for unification.
Zhang Xueming also let go of his hands and feet to recruit troops.
There was no large-scale recruitment before.
One is because it is not needed.
The second is because of the lack of population.
After all, the original northeast did not even have a population of 50 million.
Now he has de facto unified the entire North.
The population has also exceeded 100 million.
Without affecting the industrial and agricultural population.
He began conscription.
This time the intensity of conscription is unprecedented.
A total of 1 million people were conscripted.
Combined with the strength of active duty, the total strength will exceed the 2 million mark by that time.
The current military enterprises in the northeast are also working overtime to catch up.
It is better to have equipment wait for people than to make people wait for equipment.
"The check-in was successful, congratulations on obtaining the design drawings for the B-36 intercontinental long-range bomber. "
June 4, 1933.
This is an ordinary day for Zhang Xueming.
But the day from the check-in began to seem unusual.
When he saw the sign-in reward of today's system, Zhang Xueming was stunned again.
He was still familiar with the bombers of World War II.
He had heard of the B17, B24, B25, B29, these bombers.
Not to mention the B52, which was the first post-war jet strategic bomber.
But the B-36 designation was a bit unheard of.
But when he saw the bomber and his data.
But I couldn't help but be stunned.
This bomber is indeed fierce, and it is also a bomber that entered service before and after the 50s.
But its appearance is also somewhat unusual.
It is equipped with six 3800 hp piston engines.
From this dynamic, you can see how fierce it is.
The total horsepower is up to 22,800 horses.
But its engine propeller is not forward, as in other achievements, but backward.
It was installed on the trailing edge of the wing.
It's like a jet engine.
It became a push-forward approach.
It is also derived from its surging motivation.
Its maximum take-off weight reached 162 tons, and its bomb load was 32 tons.
The maximum take-off weight is 700 km / h, the maximum range is 12000 km.
The performance far exceeds that of the B-29 strategic bomber.
Before jet strategic bombers came out.
This bomber is definitely a well-deserved king.
Such a huge voyage.
It also means that the Northeast Army has the ability to long-range strategic bombing.
Hundreds of B-29s can also be announced to take a back seat and serve as tactical campaign bombers.
In addition to this great good thing, hook.
Fu Province, located in the coastal region of China, has also undergone a change.
Jiang Guangyu and Cai Yankai, led by the 19th Route Army, launched an operation against Jiang Guangtou in Fu Province.
And openly publicize secession.
A declaration was also made to the whole country.
They did so in order to promote domestic reunification.
At the same time, they also contacted Zhang Xueming.
In their opinion, only Zhang Xueming was qualified to sit on that throne.
