Chapter 1072 Future Arsenal Planning!
The total length of the heavy machine gun data on the drawing is as high as 1625mm, the barrel length alone reaches 1070MM, the designed body mass reaches 33.5KG, and the wheeled gun frame weight reaches 102KG, which does not add the weight of the steel shield.
Faced with such a heavy machine gun, Grunov's previous big-name evaluation was simply accurate.
Such a large size and weight are actually extremely unfavorable for an infantry battalion-level firepower to support it. Once the firepower is exposed, the possibility of being destroyed by enemy artillery fire is extremely high.
But the following parameter designs by the big guy made Grunov's eyes gradually become solemn.
‘The caliber is 12.7 mm, the initial velocity of the bullet is 850M/S, the maximum range is 5400M, the maximum air shooting height is 2500M, the theoretical rate of fire is 600 rounds/min, the combat rate of fire is 125 rounds/min, the directional firing boundary: high firing 360 degrees, flat firing 120 degrees, armor-piercing bombs, armor-piercing incendiary bombs, ordinary bullets can be used.’
All skills are false in the face of absolute power! At this moment, Grunov's mind actually had such a sentence.
Because, this is the impact this large caliber heavy machine gun brings to him.
This is not just a heavy machine gun that can be used to provide firepower to infantry, but can even be used to shoot light armored targets, and can also defend low-altitude, absolutely multi-faceted heavy machine gun.
Yes, this machine gun is the famous DSHKM heavy machine gun produced from the combat nation.
The predecessor of this machine gun, DSHK heavy machine gun, proved its strength in the second world. The super long barrel makes it powerful armor-breaking ability, enough to penetrate 15MM thick steel plates at a distance of 500 meters. Ordinary sandbag fortifications are like paper paste in front of its bullets.
However, after such strong armor-piercing ability, the extremely high firing rate also allows the fighter jet passing over its head to be hit by it and the body will suffer heavy damage.
The war-type technology trees of combat nations are generally a bit outrageous, and this heavy machine gun is no exception. The excessive weight and overly complex design are the shortcomings of this machine gun, but its huge power also makes the enemy scared.
Tang Dao considers that the Japanese army has sufficient air supremacy, and whenever they engage in large-scale offensive and defensive wars with Japanese infantry, the Japanese fighter fleet will throw heavy bombs. If they are not fully prepared to dig a large number of anti-aircraft holes, casualties will be destined to be heavy.
The four-way regiment's current large-scale equipment of the Erlikon 20mm machine gun with a gun weight of up to 200 kilograms is destined to be insufficient in maneuverability. If the entire four-way regiment is dispatched, it can provide air defense cover for the entire regiment, but what if it is an infantry battalion-level battle? How can the air defense company follow the infantry battalion at all times?
A heavy machine gun with large caliber that can break armor and simple fortifications and low-altitude defense functions is the tactical weapon and equipment urgently needed by the Four Lines Regiment. This heavy machine gun developed by the combat nation is extremely suitable for the current four Lines Regiment combat needs.
The ability of 15MM broken armor within a distance of 500 meters is completely sufficient. The armor thickness of the Type 94 light tanks equipped by the Japanese North China Front Tank Squadron is only 10MM. If both sides shoot at each other, the 7.7mm heavy machine gun loaded on the Type 94 tank is really not the opponent of this 12.7mm heavy machine gun.
Moreover, although the wheeled gun frame has a total weight of 100 kilograms, if it is replaced with an anti-aircraft gun frame or tripod, the total weight will not exceed 60 kilograms. It is completely feasible to transport it by pack horses or even manpower.
Tang Dao had already secretly planned that if the underground arsenal that invested huge amounts of money could imitate this heavy machine gun, each infantry battalion would be equipped with 9 pieces, which could not only provide firepower support to the infantry company, but also have air defense functions.
Not only can the infantry battalion be used, Cheng Tieshou's air defense company will eliminate all Erliton machine guns. One machine gun platoon will be replaced with the Suroton dual-installed machine guns purchased from Krupp. This time, the other two platoons will be replaced with this 12.7mm large-caliber heavy machine gun.
Of course, it is slightly different from the one used by the infantry battalion. In the future, this machine gun has been modified again...
For example, dual-mounted or quad-mounted type!
Tang Dao had seen with his own eyes that the four-unit heavy machine gun developed by a war-torn country spit out four flames, and the Apache armed helicopter of the American cowboy who was rushing at high speed in the valley was shot straight into a honeycomb.
As for the thin skinned fighter aircraft currently equipped by the Japanese army, in front of a four-unit machine gun, it can only be said that it is nothing.
"This heavy machine gun can not only support ground firepower and defend against low altitudes. It is a very comprehensive tactical machine gun!" Grunov exclaimed. "I am really looking forward to meeting the genius designer you mentioned."
"I have also mentioned your name to her, and she is also looking forward to it. In fact, if it weren't for the war, she would have arrived at the Royal College of Heidelberg at this time to start her doctoral career." Tang Dao continued to talk nonsense with a secret smile.
If this pirated man is in front of him, I don’t know what kind of expression he looks like.
Of course, the most important reason why Tang Dao is so calm and nonsense is that he believes that Teacher Xiao He will never expose his lies.
Following the Four-Road Group, she saw her compatriots struggling in the war. Teacher He, who had already become "black" in the road of various gun designs, was running wildly. As long as she could kill the Japanese, she would not care about the drawings of how Tang Dao came from.
"No wonder!" Grunov believed Tang Dao's nonsense when he heard the name of the academy.
The Royal Heidelberg Academy is one of the top colleges in the German Empire, and the Institute of Nuclear Physics is the jewel at the top of the crown.
Countless Germanic elites want to study but are unavailable. If a Chinese can be admitted to pursue a doctorate, you can imagine how good it is. Compared with this, it is normal for these two extremely excellent guns to be designed from such a genius.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! With this psychological expectation, the third drawing did not surprise this person.
It was a small-caliber mortar with a caliber of 60mm, which is 10mm larger than the 50mm grenade caliber that the Japanese army currently has the main equipment of the front-line infantry squad.
This time, Tang Dao did not pirate the fighting nation, but pirated the famous Type 63 60 mortar in the future China.
For this engineer from the German Empire, the 60MM caliber cannon was completely unattractive. The 75 mountain cannons of the German Army were equipped with a large number of infantry regiment levels. An infantry regiment had 12 mountain cannons, and the infantry battalion was also equipped with larger caliber mortars. Once the frontline infantry encountered obstacles, they would call the regiment and the battalion's two-level artillery fire attacked the targets, which had basically taken the prototype of modern warfare.
But in the Chinese battlefield, a second-rate military power is very important for an army that is basically inequality and large numbers of people. Small-caliber artillery is very important for front-line infantry.
In time and space, until the fifth year after the beginning of the Patriotic War, China, which finally copied the Brand 60 mortar successfully, began to manufacture large quantities of the later known as the Civil 31 60 guns. Until the end of the war, it manufactured more than 30,000 guns and made more than 4 million shells. It fully demonstrated the characteristics of quantity without quality, and naturally made great contributions to winning the final victory of the war.
According to statistics, nearly 100,000 Japanese Army died under the fire of large and small caliber mortar artillery equipped by Chinese military.
During the entire war, only 400,000 Japanese infantry died on the Chinese battlefield and disappeared.
Mortars are the most powerful weapon for the Chinese military and civilians to fight against the war, no doubt about it.
Moreover, this may also be the only equipment that China has more than the Japanese cannons equipped with the same caliber artillery.
Although the maximum range of the Civil 31 60 gun is only 1,000 meters, the loading volume of the 1.3KG shell is far exceeding that of the Japanese 50mm grenade tube. It is also used as a platoon-level support firepower. When the two meet, the former is almost a crushing grenade tube.
The overall length of the Type 63 60 mortar developed based on the Civil 31 is 618MM, and the overall weight is 12.5 kilograms. A soldier can carry it, and the maneuver power is no less than a grenade launcher.
But its power is much greater than that of its basic model. Its maximum range is 1,400 meters and the latest range is 70 meters. The standard kill grenade used weighs 1.33KG, can be loaded with 0.11KG explosives, and the effective killing radius of shrapnel can reach 10.2M, which is several times the killing area of Japanese grenade launchers.
The Type 63 60 mortar also has another feature, its maximum firing rate can reach 30 rounds per minute, which means that a skilled shooter can fire at a speed of 2 seconds per round. As long as a gun squad consisting of 3 mortars, if the shells are sufficient, it only takes one minute. The shells covered by 90 shells can create a death area in front of an infantry platoon of 200-300 meters.
The enemy will stop if it doesn't charge. Once it charges, it will encounter such a storm-like attack from a small-caliber cannon, which is much scarier than the rainy pear blossom needle.
In addition, the Type 63 60 mortar is equipped with an optical scope, and the mirror body has a directional screw, ruler and screw, which is enough for the shooter to send the shells to a thousand meters away more accurately. This is much stronger than the grenade launcher used by the Japanese to rely entirely on the long-term practical experience of the grenade launcher to control the accuracy.
Especially in mountain warfare with complex terrain, the Type 63 60, which weighs only 12.5 kg, can be maneuverable and flexible, and does not pick the launch site. It is simply an excellent mountain combat weapon. Even in the future southwest jungle counterattack, the company-level infantry responsible for interspersing behind enemy lines carried this small cannon, which played a huge role.
With the design drawings, with the industrial level of the German Empire, although this cannon was designed from 20 years later, it would not be too difficult to manufacture. Tang Dao has also been planned. This small-caliber mortar will be the most preferred equipment for this underground secret arsenal.
At that time, this batch of 60MM small-caliber artillery will be produced as a product of the Dakouzidong Military Factory and will be sold to the entire Chinese army. Not only is the price not high, but it can also be offset with various materials, even if it is a shell.
Even after paying a certain fee, Tangdao can provide drawings for imitation by various military factories under the control of the government.
At that time, the 60MM mortar would enter the battlefield four years ahead of schedule. Perhaps it would still not be able to determine whether the war was successful or not, but it would be certain that it would cause greater casualties to the Japanese infantry.
Especially the 80th Army, which was infiltrating the Japanese defense line, if the platoon-level elites were allowed to carry 60, and with sufficient firepower support, they could give the Japanese army who dared to leave the city at any time based on the terrain. Without enough troops and infantry artillery, the Japanese army below the infantry squadron level would be safe and worrying when entering the countryside.
As for the "cage policy" that Xiaogang Village, who was commander of the North China Front Army in time and space three years later, racked his brains to compress the survival space of the 80th Army. It took trenches as the line and bunkers as the point, and used killing ordinary people to create human-made no-man's land. In the early stage, it suffered heavy damage to the 80th Army in the guerrilla warfare mode. It was purely bullying the 80th Army without a powerful direct-fire weapon.
Without waiting for three years, with Grunov, a real gun designer and Germanic precision manufacturing, the heavy machine gun that pirated from the combat nation must have been released.
In fact, to put it bluntly, this small version of the "machine cannon" was actually prepared by Tang Dao for all Chinese troops that will start fighting guerrilla in the future.
If the penetration power of the 15MM steel plate can be broken within 500 meters is close to 200 meters, how strong is the Japanese bunker to block such heavy machine guns from firing wildly?
Even if it can, Tang Dao has not yet taken out the drawings, there is also a thing called 40 Fire in the future.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The reason why it has not been taken out yet is Tang Dao is also worried that the Germans would develop this weapon before launching the war to change history. If possible, this epoch-making weapon that can change the pattern of tanks dominate the land battlefield is best left to Teacher Xiao He and others to independently develop.
Anyway, unless concrete is poured half a meter thick, any bunker will become false in front of 40 fires.
"I am Tang Dao, now the commander of the colonel infantry regiment. On behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the Second Chinese War Zone, welcoming Dr. Grunov, your joining!" Tang Dao solemnly stretched out his hand to Grunov after carefully reviewing the design drawings of the three weapons.
After hesitating for about ten seconds, Grunov reached out his hand and held it together with Tang Dao: "Col. Tang, is this considered a forced recruitment?"
Tang Dao's meaning is very clear. If he agrees, except for not being in the organization or not being granted military rank, he is almost a member of the Chinese army and has nothing to do with Krupp. All his previous promises will definitely be fulfilled.
This has both the toughness and honest character of soldiers. Tang Dao hopes to have an engineer with enough talent, but he never wants this foreign engineer to take two boats to make money belonging to the Chinese and to make trouble for his country.
There is no saying in Chinese! It is better to talk about ugly words first and then torn apart in the end than to be vague and ambiguous in the end.
After thinking solemnly, Grunov did not disappoint Tang Dao, and even expressed his slightly tough attitude towards Tang Dao in a very humorous way.
Obviously, the fact that this bricks who are not interested in Krupp's company's name does not mean that he has low emotional intelligence. It is purely because his metal stamping design concept is too advanced and it is difficult for mediocre people to accept it.
Of course, the MG42 machine gun that shines in the future is indeed too terrifying. In the words of Western weapons bricks, it is "bad copper and iron". Even the combat nation's military design, which is more beautiful than that of the aesthetics, is more beautiful than that of the combat nation.
"Haha! Dr. Ge was joking, but when the day when China's Patriotic War was won, my Chinese nation will never forget the help from my international friends to me. And I believe that Dr. Ge and Mr. Rostaff will definitely not regret the choice today." Tang Dao smiled and replied meaningfully.
Except for Tang Dao, no one in this era would know that the Germanic Empire, which had been dormant for more than ten years, would eventually fail again, and all those who served the war would be liquidated.
Those who are famous like Grunov and Rostav cannot escape. It may be better if they fall into the hands of American cowboys who make money by making war. As long as they serve them, elite talents like Grunov don’t have war crimes, even if they have one, they will be suspicious of them. But if they fall into the hands of fighting nations who are eager to revenge, then it will most likely be the result of a shot. For fighting nations, the MG42 machine gun designer who has caused them a lot of damage is more damned than the cold machine gun shooter.
Staying in China, they not only did not participate in the war of aggression and were convicted of war crimes, but they were even awarded medals for supporting the Chinese army.
As for who is justice and who is injustice, is it really important? The war between countries has always been the law of the forest.
Just like the Sino-Japanese War, it was precisely because the Chinese elephant was weak that the jackal dared to stretch out its claws and sharp teeth. When the elephant regained its vitality that day, the jackal did not even dare to howl and could only stay away with its tail.
Of course, Tang Dao knew even more that after this battle, the Chinese people would be more alert to the jackal beside them, and they might have a hammer to smash the jackal's head that day in the future.
