Chapter 446: Some Suggestions
Although they knew that things were not that simple, everyone still laughed.
At first glance, this is indeed the case. The three core parts, the infrared, and the warhead have been verified, and only the parachute is left.
The Army comrades said nothing: "Let's do it! As long as this thing can achieve half of what Comrade Zhendong described, it will already be an important piece of equipment that can greatly change the tactical environment. If we don't do this, it will be nothing." It's worth doing."
The armored soldier smiled and said: "Let's do it, let us see it first. If it is what you said, we have to deal with it early."
He had this meeting that was both happy and embarrassing at the same time. Who knew the only goal of this thing was to fight armored forces.
The artillery team is thinking more: "Let's do it, the faster the better. If this thing is easy to use, we are afraid we will have to build another rocket launcher. The one currently being developed is a 130 rocket launcher, which happens to be installed No less. ”
The current rocket launcher is just shorter, at most it can contain a few less submunitions, but the 130mm caliber and 10km range make it difficult for them.
The barrel artillery does not seem to be unusable, but to achieve the same firepower intensity and suddenness of strike, it is undoubtedly inferior to the rocket launcher. One cannon can fire two projectiles, and one cannon can fire two projectiles. The battalion had to fire many rounds to achieve the effect of a multiple rocket launcher firing all its shells at once.
Why do all the armies of the Continental Army strive to develop various rocket launchers? Otherwise, this thing is really useful.
As for the nonsense about "extreme poverty" making rocket launchers useless, just listen to it, that thing has never encountered any serious rocket launcher attack.
Gao Zhendong thought for a while and took the initiative to make suggestions.
“Dear leaders, considering the use of artillery, you can consider reducing the caliber to 110mm. Although it will cause a certain decrease in power, in general, the difference for existing combat targets is not very big. ”
For the tank top armor and engine cover at this time, there is no difference between the armor penetration depth of 150mm and 250mm. They are both penetrated by one shot.
"Since you want to adapt it to a 130mm rocket launcher, why don't you just reduce it to 120mm?" The comrades in the Army have quit, and the power will be reduced? This is so annoying! It's hard to accept.
Gao Zhendong smiled and said: "The main thing is to consider the existence of 122mm and 130mm howitzers, especially the 122. This caliber cannot be loaded with 120mm caliber terminally sensitive ammunition, and 110mm is almost enough. This can effectively use this ammunition The organization is further decentralized to improve tactical flexibility. Although it is expected that the 122 can only be loaded with one terminally sensitive bomb, the meaning is different if it can be loaded. "
The 122 bomb is shorter than the 152, so it can only be loaded. A terminally sensitive bomb was fired. The caliber of the terminally sensitive bullet has been reduced, but the length cannot be reduced much. Within about 3 times the caliber, the length of the charge can affect the armor-piercing depth, but it is meaningless to go higher.
The 152mm heavy artillery was assigned to the corps level at this time. This level was too high, the reaction speed was too slow, and the flexibility was not enough.
Gao Zhendong only remembered this question when he heard his artillery comrade talk about rocket launchers. In his previous life, both 155 and 122 guns were fired downwards. They were roughly the 155 brigade guns and the 122 battalion guns. .
Oh, can there be more cannons to fire? That's okay. Comrades in the army are very satisfied with this.
“Quantity is also a quality” – Vladimir Ilyich.
The matter is basically settled like this, and everyone is happy.
Professor Luo felt so beautiful that he came over and sat for a long time, and he got the topic, and it was such a heavyweight topic. Just look at the level of the troop representatives who came to know how heavyweight it was.
After the meeting, several comrades from the army did not leave. They gathered with the leaders of the Defense Working Committee to chat. In fact, it was not appropriate to say chatting. The things they needed to communicate with each other were far more than today. This is a terminally sensitive bomb.
Come here, let’s talk about something else.
Gao Zhendong was packing his things and preparing to leave. The leader of the National Defense Work Committee who was talking in a group suddenly raised his hand to greet him: "Come on, come on, Zhendong, come here and listen together."
Huh? I can listen to what you say? Gao Zhendong put down the materials he was collecting and walked over.
As soon as he left, a soldier came and stood next to the materials he threw down. He did not help to clean them up, but just stood beside them.
Gao Zhendong walked up to a group of big guys who were all old men and said nothing. If you asked me to listen, I would just listen.
At this time, the comrades in the army were laughing at the artillery. They were mainly responsible for the equipment in different directions. The army and the artillery were not separated. The artillery was a part of the army, but the artillery equipment was too important. Just took it out, the same goes for armored soldiers. "You said why are you so petty? If you want to build new artillery, just make it bigger. Now it's better. It can't hit as far as the artillery cannon, and the caliber is just that small. If Xiao Gao hadn't taken care of you and narrowed the caliber, you would have I can only stare at this new ammunition.”
This complaint of the Army is not unreasonable. Unlike the rocket launchers in Gao Zhendong’s previous life, which had a range comparable to tactical missiles, the current rocket launchers, even if they are being developed, are quite anxious about their range.
A rocket launcher under development has the largest caliber currently planned. The caliber is only 130mm, and its range is not even as good as the 122 howitzer imitated in 1954. It still has 11.8km.
The artillery comrade looked constipated: "You think we don't want to go farther? There is really no way. Let's put it this way, the load of the vehicle is limited, and the total weight of the rocket is limited. In this case , The propellant technology is not good, it can’t hit far, the long-range accuracy cannot be guaranteed, it can’t hit far, and most importantly, the intelligence support capability of Guantong is limited, and it is useless to hit it far.”
The last sentence is. It's a bit of a rant, even if I can hit that far, your intelligence capabilities can't keep up.
The army comrades were a little dumbfounded. Good guy, the rocket launcher is not good, but the counterattack capability is quite strong: "But you are too close, so you can't even use it to counterattack the enemy artillery group, so you have to risk the threat."
This complaint is very accurate. After all, you can go farther than the barrel artillery of the same level.
The leader of the National Defense Working Committee saw Gao Zhendong listening with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Stop talking about this, Zhendong, tell me, I just want to increase the range a little bit, is there any way?"
The other comrades turned their heads. They did not expect that the National Defense Working Committee would ask this question. Do you understand this? Isn't this about ammunition? Whether it is a disposable rocket launcher, a gun-mounted grenade or a terminally sensitive bomb, they are all ammunition and are related to rockets. However, if you want to solve the range of rockets, the profession is not so corresponding.
Seeing their expressions, the leader of the National Defense Work Committee explained: "Comrade Zhendong's job is to deal with materials. He has researched a variety of new solid rocket propellants for many new weapons, and rocket engines for disposable rocket launchers. It was also designed by him himself.”
For other related equipment, it is difficult to say the specific model for the time being, but the disposable rocket launcher can be said.
"Hey, your job is too far away from the job you reported today, hahaha, you are so versatile. So tell me, is there any way?"
Rocket Launcher Gao Zhendong can't participate in this thing, but it's okay to come up with ideas. He can kill or bury it, just talk about it. Whether it will be useful depends on luck.
"If you just want to increase the range, there may be a way, but I can't guarantee it, leaders. Maybe the comrades who have developed rocket launchers have already used the method I thought of." Gao Zhendong started with the ugly words.
"It's okay, just say it." The comrade of the artillery was very generous. Let's take a shot. Since Comrade Gao Zhendong has so many achievements in different professions, I would like to give him some advice. Even if you don’t use it, it can still give you some inspiration.
"Well, okay. First of all, it's the propellant. I don't know what propellant is used there now, but I can write down the parameter table of the propellant I have that has the highest burning rate, the best comprehensive performance and is also cheap. , Comrades over there can see if they can be used.”
The bunch of attributes Gao Zhendong added in front of the propellant attracted the attention of the leaders: “Wait, why does the burning rate need to be high?”
Needless to say, it has good overall performance and is cheap. Rockets are consumables. If they are not cheap, they will not be affordable.
Why is the burning rate so high?
“Rockets require a high firing density and at the same time try to ensure accuracy. This requires a high exit speed from the tube, a high exit speed, and a high burning rate and a high thrust.”
Speaking of this specific technology, these comrades are definitely not as familiar as Gao Zhendong. However, if you are not familiar with it, you can still tell it after listening to Gao Zhendong's words. Comrade Xiao Gao is indeed familiar with these.
“Comrades who work on rockets should be familiar with this, but it is not certain whether they can find a propellant with such a high burning rate and suitable specific thrust, etc. The overall propellant I developed Generally speaking, the indicators are relatively high, which should be of some help.”
Although Gao Zhendong spoke more modestly, a group of people could hear the confidence in his words. , definitely better than what they are using now.
“Okay, we will ask them to come to the National Defense Working Committee to ask for data later!”
Normally, there must be relevant information in the scientific and technological intelligence report, but there is definitely no detailed information from the National Defense Working Committee. , you may not be able to judge whether you can use it just by reading the notification.
"The other one is the form of the charge. I suggest using a multi-tube tubular charge column, burning inside and outside, and free filling. This can further improve the actual burning rate based on the same propellant, which is good for accuracy. , and the cost of the charge is low. If the current ammunition is not of this type, you can consider relying on this type of charge. Theoretically, the greater the ratio of the burning time in the directional tube to the total burning time, the better. The better the accuracy will be improved.”
Gao Zhendong can roughly guess that the existing rocket charge is most likely to be integral end combustion or internal combustion. If this is the case, then use what he said. There are advantages to this kind of charging method.
