Red Moscow

  Chapter 179 Future Black Technology

Sokov tried hard to digest the information he had just heard: before being captured, Yakov belonged to the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the 14th Tank Division of the 16th Army, but he was not a tank soldier, but an anti-tank gunner Company commander.

"Misha," Yakov said when he saw Sokov sitting on the sofa in a daze, "I'll tell you an insider's news. Because of your battalion's performance in battle, sooner or later your battalion will be expanded into a regiment. After the regiment, you will be assigned one or two artillery companies."

Having said that, Yakov threw his body back and said proudly: "Just tell me what kind of artillery you need at that time, and I will definitely find a way to meet your needs." He took out a pen and paper, looked at Sokov and asked with a smile: "Tell me, Misha, what kind of artillery do you need? I will write it down first. After you expand from a battalion to a regiment, you will equip your artillery company immediately." These cannons."

Yakov's words opened up a new way of thinking for Sokov. He remembered that the other party worked in the Weapons and Equipment Committee and was responsible for the development and manufacture of new-type artillery. With his support, there should be no problem in getting new-type artillery. of. However, Sokov has no interest in the current artillery. He thought of a kind of artillery called a "guerrilla artifact" in his mind, which can not only provide sufficient artillery support for the attacking troops in battle; In the subsequent defense of Stalingrad, it can also shine. However, the current priority is to get Yakov's full assistance to make this weapon available in advance.

  Thinking of this, he took the pen and paper in Yakov's hand, and quickly sketched on the notebook with a pencil. Not long after, the cannon in his memory appeared in Yakov's notebook.

Yakov took his own notebook, and saw a strange kind of artillery painted on it: the artillery has twelve barrels in total, and there are no four in a row, divided into upper, middle and lower rows, fixed on a towable two wheel chassis. He frowned and said, "Misha, what kind of cannon is this you drew? Why have I never seen it before?"

   The 107 rocket launcher that will not appear in more than ten years, if you have seen it, then what the hell? Sokov sneered twice in his heart, and then explained to Yakov: "Yakov, this is a new type of rocket launcher I designed. How do you see it?"

  Yakov did not express his position immediately, but asked instead: "Does the rocket launcher you designed have any advantages?"

"The rocket launcher I designed, because the rocket launched is driven by the thrust of its own engine, and does not require complicated anti-recoil devices, so the structure of the launch device is simple and light." Sokov, who plagiarized the achievements of the Chinese military personnel of later generations, was shameless Said: "According to my vision, most parts can be disassembled and combined without tools, and operation and maintenance are very easy. In special cases, single, two, four or eight tubes can also be used for launch.

  Because of its small size, light weight, and good mobility, it can be pulled by jeeps or mules and horses, and can also be disassembled and transported by manpower. It is very suitable for our army's combat needs in forests, mountains, lakes, and swamps. "

  Although Sokov talked about the hype, Yakov looked careless. After waiting for Sokov to finish speaking, he asked, "Misha, can I ask, why do you like rocket launchers? You must know that the accuracy of this weapon is not very good?"

"That's right, you're right." Sokov nodded and said, "According to my experience on the battlefield, although rockets are less accurate, they have unmatched firepower than artillery. The firepower it fires is equivalent to eight to ten times the number of artillery units, and it is a very good suppressing and killing artillery."

  Yakov stared at the drawing for a while, and then asked: "Since it was designed by you, why didn't you mark the size of each component?"

"According to my idea, the total weight of this type of rocket launcher should be light, and at the same time, it should also have the characteristics of rapid disassembly and combination. After disassembly, the weight of a single part should not exceed 30 kilograms." Sokov asked for the notebook again, while writing on the paper Fill in the size on the top and read the jingle casually: "In order to meet the requirements of the human back, the decomposed part has the following characteristics in terms of structural size: the upper part does not fit the neck (easy to lift the head), the lower part does not fit the hip (easy to step), and the width does not fit the shoulder (easy to pass through) ), the center of gravity is close to the body (to prevent twisting the waist)."

When Yakov took the notebook again, the expression on his face became serious. After carefully checking the data of the rocket launcher, he looked up at Sokov and asked, "Can this new type of rocket launcher use our existing rocket launcher?" Rockets?"

"No." Sokov shook his head and said, "According to my idea, in order to ensure the flight stability of this kind of rocket, the turbine should be rotated. The centerline of the rocket is deflected by a small angle. After the rocket is ignited, the gas side Push the rocket forward, and at the same time push the rocket to rotate like a normal rifled shell, so as to ensure the stability of the rocket in flight.”

After listening to Yakov, he laughed and said: "Misha, the rocket launcher you designed seems quite complicated. Even if we set up a special research and development team, it will not be produced in a few months. .”

"Yakov, as long as it can be produced within half a year." Sokov was afraid that Yakov would directly reject his request, so he quickly added: "As I just said, according to my design concept, under special circumstances You can also use a single tube, two tubes, four tubes or eight tubes to launch. If necessary, you can even put it on the ground without the launch device. After aiming, you can launch it with a few ordinary batteries and two ordinary iron wires or wires .”

"Misha, the more you talk, the more mysterious you are." If the person sitting across from him was not his childhood playmate and friend who saved his life not long ago, Yakov would have left in a hurry. How could it be so good? Xianxin chatted with him: "Where is there any rocket that can be launched directly without a launch device, anyway, I have never heard of it."

"I haven't heard of it, but it doesn't mean there is nothing." Sokov said while the iron was hot: "Yakov, think about it, if our army has such a rocket launcher, if we want to attack the German airport or logistics warehouse, we only need to be within a distance of the target. At a distance of one or two kilometers, it is enough to fire rockets. When the enemy's search force arrives, our army's sneak attack force has already moved. In this way, the Germans can be caused great damage with minimal casualties casualties."

"Okay, Misha." Yakov was moved by Sokov's words, he nodded and said, "I will hand over your design to Comrade Ustinov, the People's Commissar, and see if he Are you willing to accept it?"

"Yakov, then I'll leave it to you." Seeing that Yakov agreed to help him, Sokov said gratefully: "Maybe in the future, this new type of rocket launcher will allow you and me to be loaded Historic."
