The first thousand six hundred and eighty-two chapters are coldly received by the army
After the 107mm and 207mm caliber rocket launchers were determined, one was used as the battalion firepower and the other as the strategic firepower. This rocket launcher has basically been finalized, and the research and development steps have come to an end. Next, in addition to continuing to research and making progress to higher, faster and stronger, it is to devote itself to actual combat.
According to China's weapons research and development system, weapons are studied by the research office, and can be independently studied or commissioned by the military. From the beginning, rocket launchers were projects promoted by Yang Yuanzhao. The military had no intention of purchasing, especially after the last exercise. Feng Yuxiang and other senior management have basically blocked the road to entering the military, so it still needs to be recommended.
Under the leadership of Yang Yuanzhao, the manufacturer and research institute ordered the production enterprises and research institutes to quickly produce 200 rocket launchers and 2,400 rockets. Too few, it doesn't work for rocket launchers. This thing has little accuracy and is powerful in coverage. In just 10 seconds, the speed of launching 12 rocket launchers is far from comparable to ordinary heavy artillery. The most important thing is that as long as the loading is completed, the rocket launcher can endure the need to endure to the minimum level. In some cases, a button is enough to solve the problem. At most, the position and range are adjusted. Once these are completed, the rate of fire is extremely fast, forming a huge coverage firepower in a short time.
This is a strategic weapon. With flexible use, it has a huge killing effect on armored troops. With a combat area of 55 kilograms and a heavy body, more than 40% of them are fuel. When hitting the target, as long as the fuel is not completely used up, the fuel is also an explosive. The high-speed and explosion produces a killing effect far more powerful than ordinary shells. The most important thing is coverage. A heavy army guarded by a division may not be seen after one launch. The heavy armored troops in the process, or if the heavy tanks are not directly hit, can withstand this attack, but what about the others, what should I do with many light tanks, armored vehicles, and even motorcycle infantry.
These protective powers are far less than heavy armor. As long as they are covered by the volley of rocket launchers, there will be only one. The rocket launcher can successfully kill most of the motorcycle infantry, most of the light armor, and the remaining heavy armor will also be severely damaged during the coverage, and the impact on an armored force is huge.
The Chinese army attaches importance to weapons. With its excellent performance, tanks have become the army's number one weapon, both firepower and speed, and powerful protection. Among China's current weapons, unless strategic bombers are used and carpet bombing, they cannot be dealt with. However, strategic bombers are absolutely a killer weapon. Whether in this era or later generations, there is no solution. The air force must be able to deal with it. Even in modern society, the bombing of strategic bombers is a nightmare for armored forces.
From beginning to end, the main opponents of armored forces are not the Air Force. Although the armored forces are equipped with a certain number of air defense weapons, these air defense weapons only avoid strategic bombers and aircraft dive bombing, rather than avoiding bomb drops. The real escort of the strategic air force is fighter jets, so the armor can only go further from the perspective of specialization. However, now, there is another one more, strategic rocket launcher strike. Once the volley is completed, the armored power cannot escape the coverage of these strategic rocket launchers.
The production task has been issued. With China's huge processing capacity, it is no problem to produce so many equipment. Next, it is to sell it to the army. The problem that I thought was easy to solve was very obvious. The advantages of rocket launchers are very obvious. Whether it is 107 or 207, they have the advantages of putting them into use. They are flexible and have amazing results.
Yang Yuanzhao has many things to deal with, and it can be said that he is busy with so many things. Because of his emphasis on rocket launchers, he spent a lot of time and energy on rocket launchers. He thought it was simple, but he did not expect that he encountered a problem. Soon, the news came back. When the institute was conventional and sold such a weapon to the army, it was coldly treated by the army. The army refused to enter the rocket launcher and did not even have the opportunity to explain and display it.
The reason is very simple. In the previous exercise, the rocket launcher had left a deep impression on Feng Yuxiang and others, but the advantages were outstanding and the disadvantages were also outstanding. The coverage was too large, and the degree of strike was extremely uneven in the coverage. In addition, the speed was slow. Such a weapon was at most in some special troops, with small batches of equipment. Later, the price was found, and these senior military officials were no longer interested.
This made Yang Yuanzhao not expect that he rarely organized exercises, but every time he organized it was a killer. From tanks, armored vehicles, aircraft, aviation bombs, to rocket launchers, a series of things that changed the world were proved in the exercises, with a practical effect, which proved this point. Among Yang Yuanzhao's many choices, there were also failures. Some equipment beyond this era did not perform well in the early 20th century, or had no targets, at most as technical reserves. In the eyes of Feng Yuxiang and others, this is another example of Yang Yuanzhao's unsuccessfulness. Just leave this alone, and maybe it will be useful at any time. Yang Yuanzhao's previous achievements showed this.
Now, we are selling rocket launchers again, which is just to make up for the previous shortcomings. For example, the cheaper price has met the demand for installation. However, the Chinese Army has always regarded artillery as the king. Artillery fire of all kinds has developed to the extreme. The most famous ones are 155, 108 and 75, all of which have reached the extreme under the same caliber and the same weight. On the basis of having superior artillery, even if the performance of rocket launchers is improved, it will explode with the artillery. Such repeated investment is a waste in the top leaders of the army.
After knowing the thoughts of Feng Yuxiang and others, Yang Yuanzhao laughed a little. It is true that rocket launchers have never been a conventional weapon for large-scale installation. There are many conditions for equipping it, but it does not mean that rocket launchers are at the same level as artillery. It seems that a special method must be used to show the effectiveness of rocket launchers, so that the rocket launchers can truly enter the military sequence. Otherwise, under Yang Yuanzhao's administrative order, even if this rocket launcher enters the military sequence, it will not be taken seriously. This is very contrary to his previous idea. It is this idea that made Yang Yuanzhao change the idea of asking the people below to arrange the exercise. He spent most of the day, found enough personnel, arranged an exercise, an exercise that was unique and shocking to everyone.
At the Army Training Ground, the exercise proposed by Yang Yuanzhao personally received a lot of attention, but Jiang Baili, Feng Yuxiang, and some of the senior army executives who participated in the exercise last time were not present. Only a few people came to the exercise ground with a look at it. For these people, in such a short time, how much improvement has been made with that weapon? Even if it improves its weaknesses, it will have some conflicts with the artillery system, which will cause troubles in choosing the above.
Feng Yuxiang and others did not arrive, and to a certain extent, the officers in charge of the exercise were slightly disappointed. However, soon, he thought of Yang Yuanzhao's guidance, especially the 107 rocket launcher, which was flexible in use, which was an important supplement to the firepower below the Army Barracks. As long as the performance of this weapon is displayed, it will inevitably be recognized.
Among the senior officers, some of the weapons of the exercise are known to be a new type of artillery, because in the most important area of the exercise, some of the armor arranged in the exercise materials, and some of the armor is arranged similar to tanks, and the other part is a defense position, which is at the regiment level, which seems to show the attack ability of such an artillery to armored power and fixed positions. However, the Chinese 155 artillery is already quite powerful. Why do you still need to do this?
Almost everyone is half-believing and half-doubted. In a sense, China's artillery is quite powerful. Logically speaking, there should be no epoch-making weapons. In this case, it makes them a little embarrassed. If it is only a little stronger than the 155, it will be a bit useless for them. The army's firepower is already strong enough. No matter how powerful it is, it is not enough to change the state of the artillery. In their opinion, the army no longer needs any firepower, but mobility and versatile and flexible adaptability. Can this weapon meet the requirements?
Some well-informed personnel even heard that they had participated in the last exercise evaluation before. They generally understood the performance of this weapon. The rate of fire is very fast, but it is not easy to load, but it forms a short-term coverage firepower. Once this coverage cannot show the effect,
This weapon cannot be continuously covered by firepower, and even within the mutual range of the artillery of the same caliber, the protection ability of this artillery is incomparable to that of the artillery of the same caliber. This kind of absolute attack is strong and weak, and even has loading problems with artillery. Whether it is necessary to join the army?
This problem is an important problem. According to the view of the senior management, this is the most advantageous place for rocket launchers and a problem that he cannot solve. No one can only fight with the wind. Rocket launchers are like icing on the cake. Only when they have an absolute advantage can they use this rocket launcher. On the contrary, they cannot be used in the battle of tough battles. Whether this weapon is necessary to be equipped with the Chinese Army can only fight with the wind, adding icing on the cake, rather than basic combat power. Such weapons are a bit one-sided. (~^~)
