C2397 Power Is King
Major Yang had organized the Hee Rizhu Base. To him, that was his base camp. His subordinates were also fighting against the air force. They were a multi-soldier army. However, to talk about the source, he still belonged to the army. Major Yang came from the Special Force of Vulture. He was originally an army.2
However, Qin Guan did not expect Major Yang to have this kind of military consciousness. That was even stranger. "Mr Yang, what kind of medicine are you selling? You should just say it."
Speak directly? Major Yang had a smile on his face. "Brother, this time, the 203 mm Naval Gun from our navy looks majestic."
Everyone knew about the conflict on the sea. The 203 millimeter Naval Gun from the navy was also famous in this naval battle. This... The performance of the Naval Gun was simply too powerful. With a leap, it became the most famous Naval Gun in the world. Originally, the Naval Gun was more powerful than it. It was an Iowa, but in the end, the Iowa exploded! Compared to the two, the 203mm Naval Gun on their side was naturally even more famous.
"That's right." Qin Guan said, "Back then, there were still many people who doubted our large caliber Naval Gun. Here, firepower is king."
Han Country was originally a place where firepower was king. It was also a kind of understanding after that period of sullen experience. Back then, it was Xiao Mi plus the rifle. Who knew how much they envied other people's machine guns and submachine guns.
"Yeah, you're right, firepower is king." Major Yang said, "I came this time for this 203 mm Naval Gun. We hope to transplant this Naval Gun onto land and use it as a type of self-propelled artillery. "
When they were researching and developing it, in order to reduce the difficulty, the first step was to develop the 203mm Naval Gun required by the navy. After all, although this Naval Gun had to be carried on warships that weighed a few thousand tons, it also needed an additional weight reduction design, but it was also much larger and heavier than the artillery system on land. To transplant this type of heavy cannon onto land, it also needed to be a self-propelled cannon. There would definitely be a lot of difficulties involved.
The army had long been jealous. One had to know that strong firepower had always been the tradition of the army. The largest caliber of cannons in the army was still 152 mm. They had long fallen behind, even though they were developing 155 millimeters cannons. However, this was not as powerful as the 203 millimeter cannons!
Major Yang had come with this idea to find Qin Guan.
Hearing Major Yang's words, Qin Guan could not help raising his eyebrows. "Mr Yang, our army has changed their guns long ago. What large-caliber rocket projectile? There are also all kinds of close distance Ballistic Missile, which are enough to sweep the floor on the battlefield. What, you still think of our small weapons? "
"This is not some small weapon. This is the most powerful cannon!" Major Yang said, "Do you know? Our army has always been the king of fire."
To the army, the most important thing was firepower!
Since the birth of the army, they have always advocated firepower. Now, the army already had the capital to do so. Of course, they needed more powerful firepower. The large-caliber cannons fired over through the mountains and the seas. This kind of momentum... It will bring despair to the enemy.
Major Yang's Hee Rizhu Base was here to research on how to use advanced weapons. However, it did not only include advanced weapons, but also how to maximize the value of conventional weapons in modern warfare. These were all the targets of Major Yang's research. Therefore, Major Yang was interested in this cannon. Of course, he was also interested in it.
"You want this cannon, and you want it in a bicycle style?" Qin Guan continued to ask.
"Yes, this large-caliber cannon will definitely become a thorn in the enemy's side. On the battlefield, if we can't quickly move the position, we will definitely become the enemy's target." Major Yang said.
Cannon was the God of War. Similarly, cannon was also the target of the enemy. On the battlefield, as long as the cannon fired, then... Once the enemy has modern weapons such as battlefield detection radar... It would be easy to determine the position of the artillery based on the bullet trajectory of the cannonballs, thus attracting the enemy's attack.
Back then, Han Country used this method to deal with Monkey's artillery. Now, the radar of the artillery on the battlefield was spreading very rapidly. Therefore, for the artillery, entering the formation and opening it up... Shoot a few rounds of ammunition, and then quickly and efficiently shoot. Then, they need to move quickly. Under normal circumstances, not more than five minutes. Otherwise, at the next moment, the enemy's artillery shell would fly over.
Therefore, among the artillery, the guiding cannon slowly withdrew from the stage of history. The number of weapons and equipment of the bicycle type cannons increased. The guiding cannon needed vehicles to guide it, and people needed to control it to enter and withdraw from the battle. Their movements were quite slow, and they could easily become targets for the enemy. However, the automatic cannons were different. This type of equipment was like a car. When firing, there was no need to use all kinds of support equipment. Hence, it was quite easy to expand it.
However, the cost of this type of cannon was much higher. It was precisely because of all kinds of needs that Han Country produced truck cannons. Using the chassis of the truck to carry the cannon could greatly reduce the cost of the chassis.
However, this method of cross-country was not very good. Furthermore... It was also impossible to carry a large caliber cannon. This type of 203 mm Naval Gun. Using the chassis of a truck was definitely not possible. One had to use the chassis. Even if it was the chassis, one could imagine how huge the chassis were.
"Yeah, we should develop this type of automatic artillery system." Qin Guan said, "However, when we are developing, we definitely can't follow the path of Y Country."
Actually, Y Country also had this type of cannon. This was the M110 automatic howitzer series. The people of Y Country started to develop it in the fifties. It was only after more than a decade that they finally developed it. The Equipment Department team had improved a few times, and now the most advanced model was the M110A2. This was successfully developed by the people of Y Country in the early 1980s, although it was also a self-propelled cannon. The chassis was small and small. It was just a carrier of a guiding cannon. This type of cannon system did not have a combat room, so the cannons and artilleries were exposed. This way, if the enemy retaliated, it would be easy to lose personnel. Moreover, it also caused the load on the chassis of the cannons to be too small. It only had two cannonballs, so its ability to fire continuously was very weak.
Hence, this base was not enough to meet their needs. They had to have a more advanced chassis, moreover... This 203mm cannon was only a technology from the 1960s, and its performance was lagging behind. In terms of range, even when firing a rocket, it did not exceed 30 kilometers. It could not even compare to the newly developed 155 mm cannon.
What they needed to research and develop was definitely the most advanced 203mm self-made howitzer that used modern technology. They needed to use their current Naval Gun to improve it, but what should they use on the chassis?
If there was a chassis that could accommodate this 203mm artillery beast, then there was probably only one. In Qin Guan's mind, a name appeared: Crusader soldier.
