Chapter 1731 Tactical Artillery

War is always a catalyst for various weapons. In history, the two world wars have born countless fine weapons, and even some aspects have affected civil use. In peacetime, it may take several years to make a weapon from argumentation to initial formation, and there will even be a long time to modify it step by step. However, when the war comes, everything must serve the war, and everything must make way for the war. Whatever war needs is produced and designed. This is a rigid indicator.

This is true in history, and in this plane, even more so. In this plane, Germany's strength and China's rise have put huge pressure on the Allies, and even Britain has to open its naval technology to the United States under pressure from Germany.

You should know that in the original plane, the US naval technology could not be considered the top until World War II. Britain even made Japan cheaper, cultivated a great enemy like Japan, and was unwilling to help the United States. For decades of naval power, before World War I, Britain was the best in the world in the competition between dreadnought and super fearless. After being greatly weakened in World War I, it also brought out several good battleships and aircraft carriers during World War II, but based on the total economic volume and industrial processing capabilities, it could not be compared with the United States.

Now, Britain has relaxed high-end technology, which has allowed the United States to take at least a detour from 10 to 20 years. Naval technology and naval gun technology have directly reached the top of this era. Under the collision of technology between the two sides, the US military's warship technology and artillery technology have even made greater progress.

On this basis, under the steel foundation that can produce 15-inch naval guns, a model that meets the requirements must be produced.

The United States lacks artillery with a range of more than 20 kilometers on the Juneau front, so designing it. Under the premise of a strong foundation, it is no problem for an industrial country to achieve this. Especially the United States, it is easy to complete the design and production, and the speed is very fast.

After the Army issued the indicators of artillery, countless artillery experts gathered together, regardless of cost-effectiveness, suitability, and field performance. After all, that was something that was considered later. It was just a range, and first solved the problem of whether there was any problem. Many experts expressed their opinions and even used some methods that had been proven to be wrong. That's right, it was so simple and crude. The poor range of the United States was. As for the rest, at this time, under the premise of serving the war, everything else was not important, even if it was a little out of order, there was no problem.

Soon, a slightly weird gun with enough range appeared on the design drawings. Using calculation methods, it was verified that this gun was able to be realized and had the ability to process, which was enough.

The United States spent 7 days designing and handed over the design drawings to industrial production. The most cutting-edge factory in the United States and the best craftsmanship masters completed the creation of two pieces by almost combining pure manual and mechanical methods. After a day of verification, the performance and reliability of this gun was proved, and this gun was finalized.

It took less than half a month to add up, which is an unimaginable miracle for peaceful times, but when the war came, it was normal, and it was not even the fastest. Some weapons in history were made by workers after work, and they also entered the sequence of weapons, and many of them shined.

The special matter is handled. The United States is already in a state of great trouble for Juneau. Millions of troops are on the front line of Juneau. They eat, drink and spend money every day. Pensions, tank losses, and attack consumption are already huge numbers. The demand for artillery is ambitious. In fact, when the hand-made samples are being tested, the construction of similar production lines has begun. The military has turned funds to be used for the production of this artillery. With the attention from top to bottom, this artillery is produced quite quickly.

This is a new artillery, a completely different artillery from previous artillery. However, in the 7 days after the design and finalization, the United States has produced 500 pieces by combining manual and mechanical methods by relying on its strong productivity, completing a simple production line construction. In the next half month, at least 2,000 artillery pieces with more than 155 cannons will be completed.

The front line is in a hurry, and the United States cannot wait for all the artillery to be produced before it is said. There must be a batch of lines to send one batch, and 500 artillery produced by hand are transported to the battlefield as fast as possible. It has to be said that with the existing accumulation of the United States, if it wants to produce 155 artillery with a range of more than 20 kilometers, and it still meets the overall needs, it will not be too heavy. It is very difficult. You can only increase the artillery barrel. After increasing the artillery barrel, the overall center of gravity will have problems, and then you have to strengthen the artillery stand. In this way, one plus two pluses, the new 155 is more than 60% heavier than the original American 155, let alone China, at least more than twice.

In terms of weight, it is no longer suitable for field battles, let alone the big ones. With seven or eight, it is very big. However, in order to balance the center of gravity, the artillery experts creatively created some protective shields, which actually gave this cannon that simply attacked has a certain degree of protection. Especially on the battlefield, with the help of fixed protection such as sandbags, it can be said to be the cannon with the strongest protection ability in the entire First World War. This can be regarded as an unintentional insertion.

A cannon cannot be said to catch up with a tank, at least half of it is almost half. The United States has spent a lot of effort to transport and sent at least 100,000 troops to ensure this transportation. The number of this batch of artillery is very small, and even if it is all produced, it will not exceed 20,000. From production to transportation, it is probably winter, but it has to be produced and transported. These artillery are used to ensure the safety of the entire US military position. Only in this way can the US tanks be effective.

This time, the biggest difficulty for the United States was that it was not blocked by Japan on land during the transportation process. In a series of wars, Japan's special forces suffered serious losses. In addition, the current war form is the United States, and tanks suffered great losses. However, the natural advantage of tanks over infantry made Japan unable to deal with even if there was a rocket launcher. They were exhausted to resist the US's attack. They did not expect that the United States was still adjusting quickly.

Japan also wants to increase the number of rocket launchers, but it takes time to cultivate a suitable rocket launcher. The price of rocket launchers is also a concern for Japan. It is easy to deal with 20,000 gates. If the number is increased, it will be more pressure on Japan. If the rocket launcher is really the nemesis of the tank, just like Germany, it would be fine to easily kill American tanks. But it is obvious that the current situation cannot be. In many cases, the role of rocket launchers is similar to that of blasting cylinders and cluster grenades. In this case, Japan, which advocates economical and affordable, is of course unwilling to invest.

The Japanese Army Department also discovered the seriousness of the tanks. The previous arrangements seemed to be gradually cracked by the US military. If it weren't for the artillery's advantage, they might have had a big problem, but Japan never expected that the United States had already begun to deploy artillery targets.

It has to be said that Japan cannot become a great power in this regard. They do not have the awareness of modern warfare. The fighter jets are gradually delayed in such omissions. Japan is only at a disadvantage under the attack of tanks, and its strategic advantage has turned to the US military. China has seen this, but Japan has not seen it. According to Japan's idea, it is not a disadvantage. It can destroy some tanks every time. The US tanks are not endless. As long as the tanks are exhausted, Juno's defense line is still thick enough to withstand the US's attack.

However, the adjustments of the US military made them overwhelmed. When the first batch of 200 artillery came to the front line, the scene changed dramatically. Japan, which was attacking and defending with the US military, was immediately suppressed. Although the American artillery still could not reach Japan's long-range artillery fire, it was placed in the rear, at least outside the range of Japanese artillery fire, but it could be enough to go to the front line.

Now, Japan was in a miserable state. It had enough firepower to make large tank trenches unable to hide. With previous experience, they knew very well that when a tank charges, a huge tank trenches would have huge lethality on the tank, especially when the tanks were running at high speed. The appearance of a tank trenches would not only cause a huge blow to the armored troops, but also easily delay the tank's progress. Everyone knows that the most undecisive thing on the battlefield is indecisiveness. Whether it is rushing forward or retreating, they must be determined. However, with the appearance of the tank trenches, the tanks could not continue to charge at the moment of charge, and they had to turn and retreat. Tanks that lost speed were the easiest to be hit. Whether it was individual weapons or artillery, they could easily cause damage to him, because the biggest advantage of the tank was speed. A simple turret made of steel was not very strong.

It is precisely because of the many previous experience that after this batch of artillery was in place, the United States immediately placed 5 kilometers outside the longest range of the Japanese army. The range of more than 22 kilometers is easiest to allow him to cross 20 kilometers faster and reach the Japanese front line. Every time a tank attack is attacked, this batch of artillery will cover the artillery at any cost, conduct fire reconnaissance, and clear obstacles for the tank's attack. The US military is very clear that if the tank trench cannot play a role, the Japanese defense line will be weakened by more than half. As long as it can play this role, such a tactical artillery is worthy of being sent to the front line. (To be continued.)
