Chapter 308 Cyric Organ
The Germans also had a long history of researching rocket launchers. As early as 1909, the German Krupp Company purchased the patent for the fixed rocket launcher of the Swedish Lieutenant Colonel Wenger and independently improved and tried production.
After World War I, in order to bypass the Treaty of Verse, the development of rocket launchers was developed that could replace large-caliber artillery throwing weapons to attack enemy troops that defend trench fortresses, as well as launching chemical ammunition, incendiary bombs, etc.
However, it was not smooth at the beginning. Like the Soviets' development, it was mainly a problem of ejecting drugs.
At first, black gunpowder was used, and it was manually operated, with poor craftsmanship. In addition, black gunpowder was easy to hit and catch fire, making the development work very slow.
In this way, until 1935, a new type of impact-resistant rocket propellant was successfully developed. Since then, the development of German rocket launchers has entered the fast lane.
Historically, the Germans have developed rocket launchers of various calibers such as 150mm, 210mm, 300mm, 280/320mm, including fixed, traction and self-propelled.
It can be found that the Germans pay more attention to large-caliber rocket launchers, which is a different idea.
The Soviet Union used rocket launchers on a large scale and relied on a large amount of ammunition to cover the target in a short period of time to achieve their goals. Therefore, the Soviet Union's rocket launchers were almost all 80 mm and 132 mm, but the number of tubes was very large, and a volley was 16 tubes or 24 tubes.
The Germans pay more attention to high-range precision strikes of heavy rockets.
You should know that rocket launchers are not as precise as body-barreled artillery. When firing, they can only have a rough direction and the accuracy will not be too high. If Germany wants to improve the accuracy, it must use heavy-duty ones.
The heavier the rocket, the less affected the wind in the air. At the same time, because the caliber is larger and heavier, the number of launch tubes of rocket launchers will be reduced. Each German rocket launcher launcher has a maximum of 10 tubes.
Which of the two is the best? Just look at the equipment of later generations and you will know!
Therefore, Cialek raised the caliber of rocket launchers. Among them, the 107mm rocket launcher is relatively light, just like the Type 63 12-bar rocket launcher in later China, which can be equipped by mountain troops. Two people can be removed by disassembly. At the same time, it can also be used for aviation rockets.
The 122mm rocket launcher, as a standard 40-bar rocket launcher, is the same as the BM21 "Hail" series.
There are also heavy rocket launchers above 300 mm.
Therefore, the equipment for the troops should be such 122mm multi-barrel rocket launcher, which has strong firepower and sufficient power. It is most suitable for charging with tank clusters and covering the opponent in advance!
With Cialek's Dinghai Sword Needle, military experts don't have to worry about it, just design it according to 122 mm!
Although the tracked chassis has better off-road performance, it is also more expensive and consumes a lot of fuel. This rocket launcher is the main support weapon. Therefore, after some research, they finally chose a 10-ton off-road chassis.
With an excellent off-road chassis and a high-power diesel engine, the number of tubes of this rocket launcher has also reached a limit.
There are four rows in total, each row of ten, and a total of forty tubes!
After equipping the troops, they conducted a test shot, and the firepower was absolutely crazy!
"General Cialick, this is our latest rocket launcher equipped with the troops." Seeing Cialick interested, Guderian, who was standing beside him, immediately came up to introduce.
"This rocket launcher has a double row of 20 orbital launchers, with 40 rockets. The bullet body is 2870 mm long and weighs 66 kilograms. The warhead weighs 18.4 kilograms, including 6.4 kilograms of charge and a maximum range of 20 kilometers."
The 122mm rocket launcher has a 20-kilometer range, which is exactly the distance to be covered in advance, which is quite suitable. In the later development models, it can be increased to 30 kilometers or even 40 kilometers. The configuration of 40 tubes is also strong enough.
Looking at Cialek nodding, Goodrian knew that this weapon was developed by Cialek, and Cialek was very satisfied with the current results.
"This rocket launcher is named the Type 38 rocket launcher, but after equipping our troops, we gave it a new nickname."
Nickname? Cialick turned back with interest: "What's the name?"
It must not be Katyusha, it was the title of the Soviets. Now, looking at it, it looks like an organ tube!
"Carried the Cialis organ tube," said Goodrian.
Guderian has been with Cialis for more than ten years and has a deep understanding of Cialis' personality. He is absolutely unambiguous in military management and equipment, but in other aspects, he is very easy-going.
And this nickname was originally praised by Cialick.
In an instant, Cialek was speechless. In history, it seemed that there was a Himmler organ tube. Unexpectedly, the troops were actually given according to their own name!
However, this matter is certainly not worthy of Cialick's anger. Cialick had a smile on his face: "Then, there will definitely be many people scolding me from now on."
Swearing? Goodrian was stunned.
"The enemy will definitely scold me to death." Cialick said.
The senior officials around him immediately smiled and were scolded by the enemy. It was an honor, which showed that they were very powerful!
"With this rocket launcher, we have more confidence." Guderian said: "In the past, we needed to call Stuka over. Now, when we encounter resistance ahead, we directly use the Cialis organ tube to greet them!"
During World War II, German rocket launchers were not famous because the German army relied on the air force to support them! Stuka's roar was the most common in the early days of World War II!
Cialek nodded. The integration of air and land is important, but it is also important for the Army to solve its own problems! It is no longer a secret that he and Gorene have conflicts.
"Report." At this moment, Cyric's assistant, Graf, who was also the captain of the guard, quickly walked over: "The base camp said that there are several island officers who want to come to our SS to inspect."
Several officers from the island country, Cialic, suddenly had an idea in his mind. Could it be that they wanted to inspect German chariots and then buy them?
Historically, the islanders bought Tiger tanks, but unfortunately, they were finally cheated by Germany and got nothing. Now, the German tanks have shown their advanced nature in the Spanish Civil War, so it is possible for the islanders to come to investigate.
"Do we still have the Black Panther 2 tanks in stock?" Cialick asked Guderian. The advanced Black Panther 3 cannot be seen by the Japanese. With Black Panther 2, it is enough to show them advancedness.
