Chapter 1664 No Barrel Launch

Sometimes, curiosity is the root cause of demand. Is this exercise mysterious or true? This seemingly simple project attracted everyone's attention. Before the exercise began, there were many people talking. After the exercise began, everyone didn't care about talking and looked at the next exercise without blinking.

The drillers were moving towards the target, and they were indeed heading towards this routine. These 107 rocket shells were placed at random, some of which were used to place stones and some wood. In short, they placed an oblique upward position. After the trained gunner simply aimed at a certain curve, they used a simple fire device composed of two or three batteries and some wires to prepare to turn on the power supply.

The difference between rocket launchers and ordinary artillery is that they do not require high excitation devices and do not need to provide a huge initial velocity to the shells. They are about one-twentieth of the initial velocity of ordinary artillery. In this case, a little use of the bottom fire and give the rocket launcher a preliminary velocity, which is 30-50 meters per second. As long as next, under the push of the side-rotating force, the rocket thruster in the rocket successfully operates and pushes the rocket launcher forward.

What is more time-saving than electric excitation? Of course, the rocket uses electric excitation. After the power is turned on, the power supply fires and ignites the bottom fire. Then the rocket is driven by the explosion energy and flies out sideways, and then the rocket engine is functioning.

This is a little more troublesome when launching a single rocket shell. There are wires on the barrel, and finally gather on the bridge. There are other fine-tuning methods. The direction cannot be adjusted and can only be carried out through the heavy truck below. However, the height can be controlled by the lifting platform on the bridge to adjust the initial state of the flight.

There are not so many things to pay attention to for a single rocket shell. Even mature gunners cannot adjust the angle too much. Just ensure the stability of the rocket launcher. At a stable angle, just stimulate the state.

A series of actions are so simple that anyone can do it after watching it, but the rocket was really successfully activated. Seeing the rocket suddenly triggered on a simple bracket, the ignition speed was a little slower than the rocket artillery tube. After all, this is not a closed environment, and the power of the bottom fire will be wasted, but with the help of the reaction force of the eruption of the earth, once it rotates sideways, it moves forward in the direction of inertia.

As an inertial guided weapon, the launch without the support of the gun barrel is not a little closer than the gun barrel, and the range of the range is reduced by at least 70%. It requires a simple bracket to complete the aim. Only a well-trained gunner can successfully operate it. Even so, it is enough. It means that to a certain extent, the shell alone has attack power, and the power of other power will not be weakened except for the range.

The artillery, without the barrel, the remaining shells are not even the power of grenades. Perhaps a certain amount is concentrated and can be used as explosives. Detonate a large number of shells on the battlefield. This power can only be described as unsatisfactory. Not to mention that compared with explosive packs of the same weight, one-third or even one-fifth of the power is not as powerful as one-third or even one-fifth. Even a large number of shells are not easy to use on the battlefield, either setting an ambush or by chance. In most cases, detonating these shells is only the function of destruction. Before the position is occupied, it is only the last heart, and that's all,

In the eyes of these officers, every artillery is like this. Even if it is a mortar, it is a little better. When the mortar is not available, the mortar can only be used as a throwing shell. It is a little stronger than the grenade, or even a little larger in diameter. It cannot be thrown casually. It is not good to blow it to yourself. The larger the caliber, the more this is the case. Mortars with a larger caliber, are basically not thrown as grenades. After all, human arm strength is limited, and grenades can be thrown for more than 50 meters, but the weight of a grenade is about 700 grams. A 120mm mortar shell weighs about 18 kilograms and a killing radius of 15 meters. It is difficult for ordinary people to throw them out of the range of killing radius. What can be thrown are mortar shells below 50 mm.

Rocket launchers are different. The shells are heavier. Most of them are loaded with liquid fuel. The combat area is only one-small part of the overall weight. If there is no gun barrel, let alone throwing it, there will be problems with moving it there. However, now, even if there is no gun barrel, it can be used alone. Although it is not a professional gunner, ordinary people can only control the general direction and cannot accurately hit it. As long as it can be fired, it is enough. There are only qualitative differences inside, which will bring great changes to the infantry's firepower.

Rocket launchers have never been known for their accuracy, but dominate their power and coverage. If the position is attacked and the artillery cannot keep up, and the enemy's dense infantry rushes up, there is a rocket launcher that can be easily launched. How much support is for the infantry? Under inertial guidance, even if it is not familiar with it, it is enough to make it valuable to the object in front of him. In some cases, it can withstand a disadvantaged attack and kill the enemy greatly.

From a weapon that can only fight with the wind, and the effect is reflected in the encirclement and annihilation battle, it has become a defensive weapon. Faced with the ultimate killer weapon of the superior enemy, the role of the 107 rocket launcher immediately changed. All the officers were quite interested, some of them had strong hands-on ability and boldness, and tried under the guidance of these experimental personnel.

Of course, the person in charge and host of the person in charge should be satisfied as much as possible. These officers are spread throughout the various systems of the army and cannot be considered as figures to make decisions, but they can all be suggested. As long as they recognize this weapon, even if the senior management does not recognize it, it will be much easier for this weapon to enter the army sequence.

In the end, 25 people with strong hands-on ability and even had certain artillery experience were selected and a demonstration was made. It was just a matter of a few wires and batteries. As long as the power is turned on and after touching the rocket launcher, the rocket launcher can fly forward without considering the issue of shooting deviation or accuracy, just shoot it out. After several gunners made a little demonstration, these people got started.

If you are not a professional person, of course it is impossible to carry out in the field. There are hundreds of officers present, and the lowest is also a middle-level officer at the deputy regiment level. The combat radius of the rocket launcher is about 15 meters. If a rocket really falls into a dense area, then it will be no more than one or two dead. Fortunately, the test site is ready-made, and after the protection is done, it will try under the guidance of a skilled gunner.

Of course these officers are aware of the dangers of this kind of experiment. Most of them have led soldiers and are often encountered in basic training. The Chinese army is huge in scale and recruits millions of new recruits every year. Among the huge number of new recruits, some accidents will occur every year, and even cause considerable casualties. Most of them are misoperated and not following the rules. They do not want to become victims of accidents.

Besides, the operation is just to verify the ease of operation of this rocket launcher, and it is not to play as you wish. I tried it briefly and according to the instructor's order, all of these officers who got started personally recognized the rocket launcher. As expected, the operation is simple and only a little training is enough. Even gunners who have certain training in mathematics and rocket launchers can hit wherever they point within a range of 500-1,000 meters, and the accuracy is quite good.

This alone is enough to include the 107 rocket launcher as a necessary weapon below the battalion, or even in the first-level sequence of the company. The first-level platoon is a bit too fierce and not suitable. The company and the battalion are more suitable. Not to mention any previous role, it can be fired with a rocket alone. This will save a lot of effort. To give the battalion company a level logistics and a few more boxes of rockets. This cannot increase the supply demand for the first-level battalion company, which is the same as replenishing shells and bullets. However, at critical moments, such a shell can be used as a temporary heavy firepower, which is very important for any lower-level unit. At certain specific times, it can even change the situation on the entire battlefield.

The display of the 107 rocket launcher has come to an end. To a certain extent, it has made the participants very satisfied. Some well-informed people obtained data from the previous exercise from the top leaders and were very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of the 107 rocket launcher. In fact, its advantages and disadvantages still exist, and even its advantages and disadvantages are also prominent. During the exercise, through some local and unconventional methods of use, the unique role of such a 107 artillery has been shown, making the disadvantages of the 107 become insignificant. As long as it is used properly, it will shine and make it capable of establishing itself on the conventional weapons of the army.

Don't underestimate this. What are the conventional weapons of the Army? Firearms, including ordinary rifles, assault rifles, light machine guns and heavy machine guns, and even heavy artillery above 100 mm are just strategic weapons, not conventional weapons. You must know that this conventional weapon has purchased more than 1 million in the army, accounting for almost one-tenth of the total amount of the Chinese army. Such weapons are the most widely distributed. As long as you enter this sequence, even if a weapon can only earn a very small amount, it can make the producers of patents and weapons make a fortune.

Feng Yuxiang did not come. The highest level of the arrival was just a major general. However, these officers were spread throughout the various systems of the Army Department. As long as they were recognized by most of them, such an artillery would not be under any pressure to enter the Army. From this point of view, the exercises would have achieved their goal.
