Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 260

“Are these your thoughts, or the thoughts of other people in your base?” Cao Yunyang asked Xie Kai.

Everyone looked at Xie Kai.

The things Xie Kai said seem simple, but they actually require a lot of knowledge.

Unless someone fixes all of this, Xie Kai will memorize it and introduce it to them.

“All of the 359 tank project in our base was proposed by Comrade Xie Kai. The breakthrough achieved so quickly is also thanks to his suggestion. Next month, the 125mm caliber produced by the 541 base will help us. The live ammunition test of the tank gun will start!” Zheng Yucheng smiled and introduced Xie Kai to everyone at this time.

Zheng Yucheng was very satisfied with their response.

Xie Kai finally filed the bullish technicians.

Zheng Yucheng also knows that they have grievances. After all, if they are transferred from the project under study to 404, everyone is angry.

“So, he proposed this kind of self-propelled artillery plan. After one night of research and demonstration by our technicians, we began to be arrogant. Since our 359 tank project is currently in a critical stage, we have made a request to the superior. Please come forward. Come and help us develop this self-propelled artillery.” Wang Guilin also said.

All the technicians from the Armored Forces Research Institute were embarrassed.

They are professional.

No wonder they are in trouble. The managers of the 404 base did not say anything, making it clear that they were watching the excitement.

“So, what we need everyone to do is to integrate these technologies. The difficulty is not too great.” Qi Zhiyuan said.

Xie Kai looked at a bunch of old guys with contempt.

Before, I watched myself being made things difficult.

But now, this making things difficult is definitely not over.

“It sounds like the difficulty is really not that great. I don’t know if you have ever thought about the difficulty of integrating these technologies. Whether it’s a fire control system, an automatic loader, or even a shock absorption system, it needs to be considered. A perfect fit can become a As a whole…” Huang Aimin heard these people who don’t know the technology say that it is not difficult, it is just a fire.

But it was a lot of polite right now.

“It’s true. The tank’s autoloader and other technologies cannot be used directly. Everything has to be redesigned.” Xie Kai nodded and said. “You are all experts in this field, I think there should be no problem.”

His compliments made it hard for everyone to question.

“The core artillery can use our 359 tank gun’s new gun steel material and barrel self-tightening and other processing techniques to improve the service life of the barrel… At the same time, we need to develop various new ammunition.” Xie Kai continued Said.

At the same time, some of the technologies that can be used on the self-propelled artillery of the 359 tank project are explained in detail.

Even the same type of technology needs to be modified and designed.

Xie Kai explains these technologies in great detail.

He knows the difference between these technologies and self-propelled artillery.

The self-propelled artillery can be regarded as a simplified version of the tank, and at the same time, the tank can also be regarded as a complicated self-propelled artillery.

China has inherited the idea of ​​the Soviet artillery. Even if the Soviet Union disintegrated, the PLA’s artillery force continued to develop frantically.

The heavy tank itself is a self-propelled artillery, or it can be said to be an upgraded version of the self-propelled artillery.

The functions of the two are different and their roles in wars are different.

Tanks are used for frontline charges, and artillery is used for rear support.

Self-propelled artillery has far lower technical requirements than tanks, and does not require too strong defense. After all, it is a rear fire support equipment and unit, and it only needs to continuously increase its attack power.

The introduction of Xie Kai can be said to have opened a brand new door for Cao Yunyang and other technicians. They were previously engaged in the development of self-propelled artillery related technologies. No one has ever positioned them so clearly.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Therefore, our self-propelled artillery does not need to be too high in terms of protection capabilities. It only needs to be able to defend against the penetration of ordinary grenades and 7.62mm machine gun shells. Ordinary mortar fragments can kill and damage. Don’t just use a grenade to scrap it…”

“The artillery was originally used for long-range fire support, can this be given up?” Huang Aimin frowned and looked at Xie Kai.

Under normal circumstances, self-propelled artillery is hiding behind to provide long-range artillery support.

The construction of artillery troops and the People’s Liberation Army is no worse than that of any country in the world.

“No, especially the air defense capability. It must be possessed. Therefore, in the project plan, we considered the installation of a 12.7mm high-level dual-purpose machine gun. In this way, helicopters in the air can be defended, and infantry can not be approached…” Xie Kai shook his head and said.

Going to the back, there is no difference between the self-propelled artillery and the tank.

Before thinking about it, the artillery position was behind, and a single grenade could destroy the entire artillery position.

Artillery can also launch missiles. The thing is called artillery-launched missiles. It has high precision and strong attack power, but it also loses the advantage of the artillery for cheap and large-scale intensive strikes.

Xie Kai knows about the future development and naturally will not choose low-end upgrades step by step.

That is a waste of troop funds.

“In this way, the armor must be improved, which will reduce the power performance…” Cao Yunyang frowned and said, “The role of the artillery is to support long-range firepower.”

“That’s in the traditional sense. Our artillery is positioned to provide fire support for our assaulting armored forces, and to eliminate the enemy’s hidden artillery for land acquisition!” Xie Kai said firmly, “At the same time, our artillery must have Follow the role of the tank cluster!”

The range of self-propelled artillery is much longer than that of tanks, and there are more types of ammunition that can be used.

As a past person, Xie Kai has placed greater expectations on self-propelled artillery.

Due to the problem of industrial level, it is impossible to directly produce the world’s most advanced PLZ05-type 155-caliber self-propelled artillery, but he also hopes that there are not too many things that can be done on business trips.

This thing, the number of external exports will not be small, and the price of a self-propelled artillery is even higher than that of a tank.

“The artillery belongs to the rear support and will always accompany the tank forward, is it too…” Cao Yunyang was a little puzzled.

The tank cluster itself is a heavy artillery cluster.

This is a mobile heavy artillery.

“When it comes to a tough attack? The range of the tank guns is for accuracy and armor penetration. There will be no hard and fast rules on the range. If our tanks are in hand-to-hand combat with enemy tanks, they hide behind How do we solve the problem when the artillery position of China supports their tank cluster?” Xie Kai asked.

The various combat theories in this era are far less abundant than later generations.

In particular, the way the Americans played in the Gulf War stimulated the entire world to conduct in-depth research and analysis on the future war situation.

“Western countries don’t have these ideas.” As a professional artillery researcher, Cao Yunyang and others know very well about the development of international artillery.

There is no problem with the theory Xie Kai said.

But there is a big gap with the international mainstream development theory.

“Following the trend can always only walk behind others. Only creating a trend is the only way for a military power to develop itself.” Xie Kai said seriously, “Our country has a short history, and the roots of industrial development are nearly one hundred and five less than those abroad. Ten years. If we only follow them, how long will we need?”

Xie Kai’s words are irrefutable.

There is no way to refute it.

The country has always been following the path taken by foreign countries.

“So, we can’t think about what’s going on abroad, but about our needs. Our project is used as a fire support for the rear of the 359 tank. Our purpose is to export! The domestic military is too poor and so advanced Yes, at this stage, they can’t afford a few.” Zheng Yucheng said.

The military’s funding for a year is just that little. According to Xie Kai’s budget, one such artillery can sell for two to three million U.S. dollars. If it is replaced by a soft sister, it costs five to six million or more.

How much can the military be equipped with?

This artillery still went to the pockets of Iraqis and Iranians.

“Everyone can talk about what you think about the caliber of the artillery.” Zheng Yucheng saw that other people did not refute, and began to raise the issue of the caliber of the artillery. “According to our existing technology, 52 times the barrel may be very difficult, 45 times. It shouldn’t be a problem.”

The 359 tank has two barrel lengths, 45 times the diameter of the self-use model and 39 times the diameter of the foreign trade model.

At the same time, 45 times or even 50 times the diameter may be used for the third-generation domestic tanks in full form.

“I think the larger the caliber, the greater the power. The 155 gun with a 52-caliber barrel is the best!” Cao Yunyang said first.

For domestic artillery experts, let alone 155, as long as the technology is sufficient, they are even anxious to produce a 203 mm caliber self-propelled artillery.

“The 122mm caliber artillery technology is more mature, and at the same time it can be used in a wider range.” In this regard, Huang Aimin feels that he has the right to speak.

The 122mm caliber artillery is relatively common internationally.

With a caliber of 152 mm and above, it is the fire support of military-level troops. A small country can’t make up a corps of troops.

For foreign trade, 122 mm is better.

“No, the 152 caliber artillery is more powerful and has a wider range. Although the ammunition is much smaller, it is more powerful and has a wider range…” Like most people in China, Cao Yunyang belongs to the artillery mind.

The larger the caliber, the greater the power of the cannon.

It is precisely because of their existence that the domestic artillery finally became the most advanced artillery in the world.

“Caliber is truth, and range is justice.” Cao Yunyang further emphasized.

“I still think that the 122mm caliber is more suitable. As the fire support of the tank troops, this caliber artillery is sufficient. As long as the range is 30 kilometers, it is enough to meet the requirements.”

“The caliber of our tank gun is 125mm. Do you use the caliber of 122mm as support? Isn’t this shabby!” Zheng Yucheng said.

In their view, the larger the caliber of the artillery, the greater the power.
