Chapter 376 Batch Production, Trial
Except for Gao Zhendong and the people from the Changjian Factory, everyone who came to the meeting could not help but come to the two sample bombs and look at them carefully. After some observation.
Then after obtaining the consent of the people at the Long Sword Factory, I carefully picked it up and tested the weight.
Some of the comrades in the army were even self-taught. They carried the rocket launcher on their shoulders and made postures and movements to aim and launch.
The firing mechanism has been completely disengaged and is very safe.
Although it was not fired, the comrades in the army were obviously very satisfied with the feel. This thing is almost 1kg lighter than the existing 40mm gun, and the total length is about the same.
Although the report has not yet begun, the disposable rocket launcher has already used its own weight and convenience to gain the upper hand.
Among the two old comrades who gave a small-scale report last time, the one in military uniform was also there this time. Last time he saw the penetration depth, but did not see the sample bomb.
After testing the full weight of the sample bomb this time, he laughed and said: "Comrade Xiao Gao, is this the new rocket you have come up with? Such a small thing can hit 150 meters, and it can also hit 600 armor, which is incredible.”
Gao Zhendong smiled and said: “Report to the commander, we have improved it and can hit 180 meters.”
The leader was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Okay! Okay! I just want you to have the spirit of not resting on your laurels!"
The people around them thought they had heard wrong. What 600 armor? Impossible. It is probably some proper noun with similar pronunciation, such as "six thin armor" or "six wave armor"?
Everyone is almost here, and there are many people from the army.
The leader of the National Defense Work Committee announced the start of the meeting, which was called "New Disposable Rocket Launcher Predetermination Seminar."
The first half of the reporting process was uneventful, except for the one-time use, non-occurring combat scenario that aroused everyone's discussion.
However, when General Luo reported that "the static armor-piercing depth of 600 mm when using the energy-containing armor-breaking warhead, the static armor-piercing depth of 550 mm when using the energy-containing armor-breaking warhead, and the killing radius of personnel in the rear hemisphere is 10 meters," except for a few people I knew it well and didn't react much, but everyone else was shocked!
Anyway, the technicians don’t believe it.
600mm! ! ! ? ? ? You put the satellite here.
Even the 550mm is almost nonsense.
The old 40 fire we are using now has basically the same bullet weight and warhead caliber as this one. It only has a static armor penetration of 180 to 280. The depth of 280 is still difficult to change. , and it’s not stable, so I can only shyly write “(biggest)”.
Mr. Luo did not stop to report: "The above static armor penetration data were determined after dozens or hundreds of live ammunition firings. The penetration rate of the test bullets against the armor of the above thickness is over 90%."
Impossible, let alone the 90% penetration rate. Even if a blind cat hits a dead mouse and hits 600 once in 100 times, I will suspect that there is something wrong with your target board.
The comrades in the army exploded, not because they didn’t believe it, but because they were so happy that 600 was stable! 550 is stable!
First of all, some of them knew Gao Zhendong and were very sure that he would not be joking about this kind of thing.
In a previous meeting, when someone was designing an armored personnel carrier, he was trying his best to control the weight, even the thickness of the armor. He was very angry. The equipment he made himself would never be able to produce such false power data. Things happen.
Secondly, they also knew the chief who applauded Gao Zhendong just now. He didn't have any objections, but was very happy and praised him. That speaks volumes.
Seeing that some comrades had doubts about this data, Gao Zhendong nodded to Mr. Luo.
Mr. Luo stood up and said, "Comrades, seeing is believing, please look here."
After saying that, he turned around and pulled down a piece of cloth behind him.
Behind the cloth are pieces of cut-out steel targets.
Black perforations more than half a meter long are engraved on the silver metal surface, looking a bit ferocious.
“607”, “615”, “609”, “611”.
“567”, “561”, “572”, “559”.
The numbers on the deep penetration marks seem to be smiling, didn’t you expect that?
Everyone was quiet, looking at these target boards in disbelief, including the people in the army.
Although they believed it, what they saw with their eyes was far more shocking than what they imagined in their hearts.
What tank can stand up to this thing? I heard this is a one-time thing? They felt a little bit happy in their hearts, bastard, watch the trick!
Some people walked forward and gently touched the rough pierced surface with their hands. They said nothing, but their eyes were a little red.
No one doubts that this is a fake shot with a large-caliber bullet. That would be a bit too much. In fact, everyone is more willing to believe that this penetration is really achieved and is produced due to technology. All the doubts disappeared the moment he saw the facts, and were replaced by a burst of ecstasy.
I haven’t heard of anyone in the world making ammunition of this caliber and depth. Does that mean that in this matter, we have accidentally become the number one in the world?
"Okay, okay, good job!" Someone started to applaud.
The leaders of the National Defense Work Committee did not stop them. Gao Zhendong and the comrades of Changjian Machinery Factory deserved these applause.
He and the leader, who was about the same age as him, looked at this scene with squinted eyes and smiles. Everyone has almost vented their emotions and quieted down. The report is not finished yet.
“The total weight of the bomb is 3.7kg, the effective range is 180 meters, and there is no need to correct the windage within this range for winds below level 4”
The applause started again, this time no one doubted it, they were just happy.
"Lighter than an empty rifle?"
"180 meters, the old 40 fire is only a little over 100 meters." In fact, it is not necessarily true. In order to ensure the hit rate, in 1969 The soldiers took the old 40-meter fire and went as close as 3 or 40 meters to hit. Unfortunately, it was useless. They hit but could not penetrate.
Comrades in the army even calculate how many rounds they can carry when they go to the battlefield. Others don’t know, but they still have no problem calculating themselves.
But the leader of the National Defense Work Committee and the old leader next to him heard more than that. They also heard that "no wind correction is required for winds below level 4."
The two exchanged glances, and the old comrade smiled and said: "He really made weapons in accordance with the requirements of mass warfare. He was not hypocritical at all. With these characteristics, even poorly trained militia comrades can pick them up." Fighting can also guarantee a certain hit rate."
The leader of the Defense Working Committee nodded: "He always does what he says when he does things. This is not just a militia comrade, but an ordinary soldier in the army. You can also shoot more accurately without too much training."
The comrades in the army have begun to imagine the beautiful scenery of beating the enemy with one gun from a hundred meters away.
When everyone calmed down again, Mr. Luo began to continue the report.
There was not much content in the report. After he finished speaking and everyone applauded again, Gao Zhendong opened his mouth and added something.
"Comrades, this time, in addition to the above situation, there is another situation that needs to be decided, and that is which warhead to use."
Which one to use? Aren't there two kinds? I want them all.
The comrades in the army have very simple ideas.
“Considering that the armor of existing tanks is far less thick than the armor-piercing capability of this warhead, it may not even be half as thick, so the armor-piercing power of this rocket is now, It is far beyond what is needed.”
Those who can attend this meeting still have a good idea of the current development of tanks in the world and agree.
Except for the comrades in the army, I can do without it, but you can’t live without it.
“Considering that in actual combat, especially in mountainous and street fighting, rocket launchers are used more as offensive firepower to attack enemy firepower points, so I sacrificed a little armor-piercing power in the design and increased the damage to personnel in the rear hemisphere. The final result is a shaped armor-piercing anti-personnel bullet. But I am not sure whether this bullet can meet the needs. I want to ask comrades to discuss it carefully."
Gao. Zhendong's words made everyone think deeply, especially the comrades in the army.
"There is a certain truth. In actual combat, there are not necessarily so many tanks to fight, and there are also many situations of fighting fortifications and infantry."
"600 mm is a bit too much. This killing warhead can guarantee a killing radius of 10 meters in the rear hemisphere, and there is still 550 millimeters, which is actually very enough.”
"Can you guarantee 10 meters in all directions?"
"You are stupid, the front hemisphere has to break through the armor."
"."
Everyone started a fierce battle During the discussion, the leader of the National Defense Working Committee and the old comrade were also exchanging opinions.
After Gao Zhendong clarified his own ideas, he stopped participating in discussions to influence other people's ideas. His ideas are actually that simple. I am responsible for making the most extreme and balanced one. , how to choose depends on the front-line comrades who actually use it.
He doesn't think that he is any better than others in this regard. Anyway, the data of 550 will be used until the 1990s. At least for those in the Middle East and Africa, it is still a great threat when playing side armor and rear. Yes, even hitting a dozen plywood panels on the front of some tanks is no problem.
After that, it was time to use tandem armor and change gear.
Everyone discussed it for a long time and then made a difficult decision with the advice of the two leaders.
——Use a 550mm shaped energy armor-piercing warhead. The shaped energy armor-piercing warhead is transferred to the technical reserve and can be produced when necessary. In fact, the biggest difference between the two is a fragment. Just a set.
It is indeed the same as Chief Engineer Gao's guess, Mr. Luo thought with admiration. It seems that Chief Engineer Gao has the best grasp of the troops' ideas.
The use of disposable rocket launchers has also been decided. After the technology of the plastic launch tube is completely stable, a small batch of 100,000 rockets will be trial-produced and sent to the troops for trial. Because the old 40 fire is still being compiled, so the action is not big. .
Trial troops mainly include border defense, airborne and other troops. These troops are also old users of small-scale trial installation of light weapons.
