Great Power Ship

Chapter 226
In fact, it wasn't just the leader who asked the question. The other army leaders, including the leader, couldn't help staring at the rendering on the board, revealing an expression of disbelief.

What I saw on the rendering was a piece of equipment similar to an individual rocket launcher.

If a layman sees it, he will definitely classify it as an individual bazooka. There is no way that the things in the rendering are too similar to the real individual bazooka.

They are all short and thick tubular structures, and they all have handles and sights that are easy to use when operating by a single soldier.

If there is any difference between the thing on the rendering and the individual rocket launcher, it is a circle of rifling along the inner bore.

But it was precisely because of this circle of rifling that the leaders of the troops present concluded that the new equipment on the rendering was a cannon, not an individual rocket launcher in the usual sense.

"This is... the Swedish Carl Gustaf recoilless artillery?" A leader of the army stared carefully at the rendering for a long time before looking at Wen Dawei.

Wen Dawei said with a gentle smile: "It's not the Swedish Carl Gustaf recoilless artillery, but the DPZ-82 recoilless artillery developed by our Zhujiang Factory. It has a mouth diameter of 82mm and a length of 1130mm. Cannon mass 12 kg.

The inner bore is made of high-strength alloy steel, equipped with 24 rifling lines, supplemented by inner bore chrome plating technology, which greatly improves the service life of the whole gun.

The outer layer is wrapped with lightweight aluminum alloy, which not only reduces the weight of the whole gun, but also improves the stability. In the shooter operation area, we applied a composite material wound with glass fiber, supplemented by a heat-resistant insulation layer, which can effectively protect the operator. The safety of..."

"and many more……"

Before Wen Dawei could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a leader: "Listen to you, this new 82, you have already made the finished product?"

Wen Dawei gave the leader a thumbs up when he heard the words: "Nothing can be hidden from the leader's insight, that's right, our DPZ-82 recoilless artillery has already started the relevant test work, and it is currently from the Marine Corps Judging from the feedback, our DPZ-82 recoilless artillery has met the requirements of the Marine Corps for portability, high power, and easy operation..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone, including the leader, focused their attention on the leader of the N Fleet who came together.

The meaning is obvious, you are making new equipment, why don't we know, don't talk nonsense, explain it quickly!

The leader of Fleet N also looked innocent: "Chief, we have already submitted the application report, and you approved it yourself!"

"I approved it myself?"

The leader's face was blank, and he said that although he was a little old, his memory was not bad. Although he was not as good as when he was young, he should have an impression of the approval of this new equipment. Why...

"It's the application for the Marine Corps 82mm recoilless artillery improvement plan that we submitted a few months ago!" Before the leader figured it out, the leader of the N fleet quickly explained.

Having said that, the leader finally has some impressions.

It's not a problem with the Type 82 recoilless artillery, but the army's equipment improvement plan from the navy impressed the leaders who approved it at the time.

But I didn’t think much of it at the time. After all, the army’s budget is relatively tight at the moment, and each army often makes adaptive DIY modifications to the equipment on hand, so that the officers and soldiers of the army can better use and master it.

The higher authorities are also encouraging this.

After all, doing this can not only save money, but also improve the combat effectiveness of the troops to a certain extent, so why not do it?

Among these units, the Marine Corps has the most equipment modification.

This is also impossible. As a new unit that has just been established for a few years, its main combat equipment is basically used in the Army system, but in island scrambles and beach landing operations, many Army equipment is not suitable for the Marine Corps. combat scene.

According to the reason, it needs to be specially built.

However, the size of the Marine Corps is not large. Although the entire army is highly synthetic due to combat missions, the required equipment is a minority among the minority in the equipment system of the entire army.

Listing it out not only requires additional funds for support, but the key is that this kind of niche equipment will inevitably not be mass-produced, which will lead to extremely high costs for small-scale production.

This is not cost-effective for the already tight budget troops.

But the combat needs of the Marine Corps still have to be met, so what should we do?
We can only encourage the Marine Corps to carry out DIY modification of relevant equipment according to the actual situation.

So when I saw the application of the Marine Corps submitted by the N Fleet, the leader approved it according to the previous practice without even thinking about it. How could I have imagined that the DIY of the Marine Corps actually came up with a brand new 82mm seatless force artillery.

As the leader of the approval, of course he has to figure out which song the N Fleet is singing?
After all, such openings cannot be opened indiscriminately, otherwise other troops will follow suit, and the domestic equipment production system will have to be messed up!

The leader of the N fleet also knew this truth, so he quickly explained.

It turned out that all the causes stemmed from the anti-landing exercise a few months ago. The Marine Corps played very well in the early stage. With the precise strike of the laser-guided shell fired by the 162mm naval gun on the 130 ship, it tore apart the Red Army's defense line. a hole.

But later, with the investment of the Red Army reserve team and the exhaustion of laser-guided shells in the hands of the Blue Army, the Blue Army finally failed.

Afterwards, the Marine Corps made a summary and believed that there were two reasons for its failure. The first was the lack of a strong armored assault force.

If the Red Army's defense line was torn apart at the first time, there were not many, and only one platoon of tanks and armored vehicles needed to break in, and the entire Red Army's defense system would completely collapse.

It's a pity that the Marine Corps at this time is still a light infantry. Although it has an armored force, it is still empty-handed so far.

The second, and most critical point, is its own accompanying firepower, especially the ability to carry out precise strikes against the enemy's vital forces.
Insufficient capability of direct-pointing artillery to measure and fix defensive support points.

Although the Marine Corps is equipped with the Army's 65-type 82mm recoilless artillery and 75-type 105mm recoilless artillery, such direct-pointing firepower strike weapons.

But generally speaking, the weight of these two pieces of equipment is really a bit heavy, and usually they can only be mounted on a jeep to accompany them on the road.

Although the 65-type 82mm recoilless artillery can be disassembled and carried by a single soldier in an emergency, the barrel weighs more than 40 kilograms, and it has become a huge burden for Marine Corps officers and soldiers in high-intensity landing operations.

And this also greatly limits the flexibility and persistence of the Marine Corps' fire strikes.

Based on the above two points, the Marine Corps put forward two suggestions for improvement in the long-term and the short-term. There is no doubt that the construction of armored forces is naturally placed in the long-term. After all, when it comes to small money, the Marine Corps can only obey reality; There is no such concern in the recoilless artillery.

They directly found Zhujiang Factory, a cooperative factory, and after getting Wen Dawei's answer, the Marine Corps only gave one request, that is, short and sharp!
