Chapter 1665 Range is king

The person in charge watched the lively scene, and the rocket shells ignited this alone, which was recognized by many officers, with at least more than 20 people, and personally tried this. Although the range was close and far, the farthest did not exceed 1.5 kilometers, the recognition of the 107 by these officers has increased to a very high level. Some people even made up their intentions on the spot and prepared to apply to the Army Department for purchase.

Every unit has a certain right to proactively purchase. Only weapons on the conventional weapons list are necessary. In addition, troops above the regiment will have a part of special funds to purchase some weapons that are not on the conventional weapons list. This part has few authority. For a regiment, it may be just a few cannons, and it cannot be too large in the caliber.

However, if you are used to purchase 107, you can purchase at least 12 sets and 144 tubes, which is quite practical. The number of more than 300 battalion commanders present in the market is 2,400 sets, nearly 30,000 tubes, and 20 base rockets. The number of these is not large, but it is the first batch of orders. I believe that with these people promoting, more and more people will fall in love with 107 and push 107 into the conventional weapons list. That is an order of at least one million, which will completely change the fate of 107.

The two cannons, 107 and 207, 107mm, made them more interested. Because of their small diameter and low price, they are born with the possibility of large-scale promotion. Yang Yuanzhao is like the finishing touch, focusing on highlighting the 107's ease of operation and convenience of movement, and has excellent results. Even after the rocket was designed separately, the following several exercise projects were quickly finished.

Then the exercise entered the formal stage. The exercise session and self-service session of 107 took more than two hours, which greatly squeezed the exercise time, but the next 207 display continued smoothly.

The officers looked at the subjects of the exercise with interest and soon saw some of them from the layout. In fact, combined with the previous 107 mm, they had an early understanding of the 207. 207 should be an enlarged version of the 107. Since there is no way to increase convenience, it can only be placed on the power. In the consciousness of most officers, 207 should emphasize the rate of fire, so that they can stand out among the many artillery.

They saw the rate of fire, and only saw that after a slight adjustment, the 207 rocket launcher exercise began. The gunner next to the pilot pressed something, and the flames suddenly appeared on the rocket launcher. The rocket launcher could only fire one by one, but in advance, the time was accurate to seconds, and only the sound was heard endlessly. Then, 12 things with flames flew out at an extremely fast speed, almost exceeding the speed of the sound. The most important thing was that 12 shots were completed in more than ten seconds.

What a fast rate of fire? Some of the senior officers present were a little moved. Even the fastest French Miss 75 had less than 30 rounds per minute. This also requires a well-trained gunner. Just pressing the button can emit it. It is as incredible as a myth.

An officer said thoughtfully: "I don't know how to load. If I'm faster, I can buy a part of it just by relying on this rate of fire!"

The loading was very slow. It took 20 minutes to load all 12 gun barrels, which reduced the interest of these officers slightly. They were all army officers with real practical experience. They knew that the rate of fire included loading and shooting, and similarly, they just pursued the speed of the first wave, which seemed powerful, but in fact, they were a little deliberate.

At this time, the rocket was still flying in the sky. Because the rate of fire was too extreme, everyone's eyes were almost on the rate of fire. Few people thought about the problem, but a few people observed it carefully. While thinking about the rate of fire, they suddenly felt something was wrong. Logically speaking, under such rate of fire, the shell should have landed in more than ten seconds, but it has not landed yet.

It seems that the flight trajectory can be seen, it is relatively straight and the stability in the air is quite good. At this time, it seems that you have already flew far away, even beyond the range of sight. An officer soon asked: "How far is this range?"

The host did not answer, but just guided them to watch the entire exercise. When the rocket finally disappeared from sight, some experienced officers began to consider this distance, because they were all elite officers. If the shells disappeared, others might not be able to see that the shells flew there. These officers who had received rigorous training and very experienced were very clear. What these meant was that they could reach the distance outside the sight or the distance outside the telescope's sight, at least 35 kilometers, and judging from his height, they had not yet fallen. That is to say, this cannon with extremely fast firing speed has a range of at least 70 kilometers.

This is already 1.5 times the maximum range of weapons. If its control is also very good and its accuracy can be concentrated in a certain area, this rocket launcher is worth noting. Of course, such artillery fire is not suitable for below the group army. The division is one of the smallest command units in frontal combat. The combat area of ​​a division will not exceed 10 square kilometers. The farthest distance, that is, three to five kilometers, and the range exceeds 60 kilometers, can only appear in strategic troops and be responsible for strategic strikes.

Among artillery, the rate of fire is secondary, and the range is the final one. Why is the 155 artillery so powerful? It can only achieve a range of 250 or even higher with the lightest weight and the smallest caliber. This is the absolute power. When you have an ordinary 0 artillery, the 0 artillery is designated to support vitality, while the 155 is positioned as strategic firepower. Such a range is quite powerful. With the advantage of the rate of fire, to a certain extent, this artillery is enough to be equipped in the army.

How far is this range? Although it is determined that the range is very long, they still want to ask, is this related to future use? What makes them pay more attention to is also accuracy. As long as the accuracy reaches a certain level, this 207 is also a good weapon.

After most of the officers asked the question, the host did not continue to hide it and directly revealed the answer. The maximum range was 95 kilometers, and within the number 75 kilometers, the error was no more than 300 meters.

A series of simple numbers, spoken by the host, immediately caused an uproar. Everyone looked at Yang Yuanzhao in disbelief. This was a bit too amazing. Although the range of the previous 155 heavy artillery has exceeded the current army's firepower, especially after using self-tightening technology, the range can be increased to more than 30 kilometers, but the range of this rocket has doubled on this basis. What is this concept, let alone the accuracy of 300 meters. On the battlefield, if you cooperate a little, the accuracy can be reduced to 150 meters. This is already amazing enough for artillery with a range of 75 kilometers or even 95 kilometers.

75 kilometers, even if the tank is fully activated, it will take at least one and a half hours. The complex sections need more, but they can wait for it. They can easily hit the tank at 75 kilometers away. Everyone knows the concept of this. This is a strategic weapon, especially 12 rounds in 10 seconds. If there are too many such launch vehicles, what will happen? The tank may be hit by a coverage. The officers more or less understand why they are called and why they are arranged in such a test site. What does this mean? It represents a coverage killer, changing the bombing of strategic bombers to a rocket launcher.

Could it be that there is a problem with the accuracy of this rocket? Some officers still raised doubts. After all, the longer the range, it is very difficult to control the accuracy. 75 kilometers is a very long distance, and the accuracy of the 155 artillery is not high 30 kilometers away. Even after the aircraft and air balloon are accurately measured, with the help of computer calculations, there will be errors of dozens of meters, and more are covered by quantity.

In fact, this is also the biggest problem of rocket launchers. Fortunately, aerodynamics has developed to a certain level. After avoiding some influencing factors as much as possible, the accuracy of rocket launchers is easier than that of shells.

Soon, the commentator showed the calculation pattern to many officers. When a shell is one, it is guaranteed to be within a range of 300 meters at most, and the position is uncertain. However, after 12 rounds, through fuzzy calculations and other methods, it can even be guaranteed that most of them are within a range of 150 meters. Only less than one-tenth of the shell will land between 150 meters and 300 meters. This is the technology of multiple fixed-points, which has greatly changed the rocket launcher.

More than 90% of the accuracy within 150 meters, such accuracy is very considerable. The range of 150 meters is actually not small. A square with a diameter of 150 meters is also as high as 2.25 hectares. This is more than 33 acres. On the real battlefield, a 1 square meter area that a person can occupy is already good. Therefore, rocket launchers can only cover attacks. The effect is not good when dealing with single or individual targets. However, it is effective against cluster targets or armored troops during movement. If 150 to 200 groups of rocket launchers are concentrated to attack the armored forces in the process by covering the attack, except for heavy tanks exceeding 45 tons, the rest are all within the strike range of rocket launchers.
