Great Power Ship

Chapter 242
The Bosnian side wants to convert the "Kamen" class missile boat into a gunboat. If it is purely for inland river patrols, coastal anti-smuggling, and offshore fishing protection, the configuration of two DPZ-076 76mm naval guns can be called luxurious.

而且“卡门”级导弹艇本身的排水量达到了275吨，完全可以满足两座DPZ—076型76mm舰炮的安装需求，毕竟DPZ—076型76mm舰炮的总重量只有8.2吨。

As long as you do a little bit of processing, it is not difficult to meet the modification.

But the problem is that Bosnia wants the modified "Kamen" class missile boats to provide fire support to their offensive forces, so these two DPZ-076 76mm naval guns are not enough.

Although the maximum range of the DPZ-076 76mm naval gun exceeds 22 kilometers, the maximum rate of fire reaches 120 rounds per minute.

The bomb bay has 85 rounds in reserve, and if it is fully output, all the ammunition in the bomb bay can be emptied in a few seconds. Because of this, the firepower of two DPZ-40 076mm naval guns can be equal to two 76mm howitzers. .

But equivalent is not really equal to.

Two DPZ-076 76mm naval guns are comparable to two 105mm howitzers because of their incredible rate of fire, but in terms of power, the DPZ-076 76mm naval guns are still difficult to compare with 105mm howitzers. The so-called caliber is justice, how excellent the DPZ-076 76mm naval gun is, the caliber limit of less than 100mm is an indisputable fact.

Therefore, the "Carmen" class missile boat equipped with two DPZ-076 76mm naval guns may be able to catch the opponent by surprise in the case of a surprise attack, but once it enters a stalemate, the disadvantages of the DPZ-076 76mm naval gun's medium-caliber exposed.

Unless it has continuous and unlimited firepower output, the problem is that the displacement of 275 tons can accommodate two DPZ-076 76mm naval guns. cabin.

It is simply impossible to have continuous firepower output.

Since it is impossible, the ending after the stalemate is very bad.

Therefore, Wen Dawei and the Bosnian business representative in Hong Kong Island proposed two more feasible plans for the modification of the "Kamen" class missile boat.

The first one is to equip the stern of the "Carmen" class missile boat with a DPZ-076 76mm naval gun developed by Zhujiang Factory using the mature technology of DPZ-130 130mm naval gun.

The advantage of this is that it gives the "Karmen" class missile boats stronger firepower output and greater lethality.

But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the development of the DPZ-130 130mm naval gun has just started, and it will take some time to produce the test model.

That's all, the key is that the DPZ-130 130mm naval gun is heavier and more powerful. The "Kamen" class missile boat with a full load displacement of only 275 tons is estimated to be difficult for this small body to withstand the DPZ-130. Crazy flogging of 130mm naval guns!
Therefore, Wen Dawei focused on introducing the second plan, which is to install two 24-unit 122mm rocket launchers and one 18-unit 122mm rocket launcher at the stern of the ship.

The benefits of doing this are obvious. With the small body of the "Kamen" class missile boat of 275 tons, it is simply a fantasy to want continuous firepower output. In this case, using dual DPZ-076 76mm naval guns to make some blunt The fake trick of cutting flesh with a knife really has no immediate effect.

That being the case, just use the rocket launcher. The 122mm rocket launcher is comparable to the Soviet "Hail" rocket launcher. Not only is it powerful, but its density is also fierce. A single output will definitely make the opponent's tide rise.

In Wen Dawei's words: "Even if it's a stud, it should be shuttled so that it will be unforgettable for a lifetime!"

Bosnia, which has been baptized by war for many years, naturally knows the truth that real men are either fierce or long-lasting, and they agree with the second plan of Zhujiang Factory with their hands raised.

The problem is that the Zhujiang factory's 122mm rocket launcher system has just been verified by experiments, and its specific performance is not sure. Therefore, the Bosnian side also has a lot of concerns about the relevant performance.

However, the only one that can help Bosnia solve the problem now is Zhujiang Shipbuilding Factory, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to.

Based on this, the Bosnian side proposed a compromise plan, that is, first use two "Kamen" class missile boats in better condition to refit. If the effect is good, it will not be too late to refit the other two.

Of course, when Bosnia did this, cost considerations cannot be ignored. The cost of refitting two "Kamen" class missile boats in better condition cost Zhujiang Factory 800 million US dollars.

The two ships in poor condition even offered a price of 1200 million U.S. dollars.

This price is more expensive than the "Kamen" class missile boats purchased by the former Bosnian government from the Federal Republic of Germany in the 70s.

But there is no way, who makes only Zhujiang Shipbuilding Factory willing to export these equipment and technologies, even if it is expensive, Bosnia has to bear it.

就这样在1985年一月份的时候两艘船艏装备了DPZ—076型76mm舰炮，船艉并排安置的24联装火箭发射器，18联装火箭发射器和24联装火箭发射器的改进型“卡门”级导弹艇重新服役。

It's just that the "Kamen" class missile boats at this time are completely different from those when they were first imported in the 70s.

So the Bosnian side renamed it the "Guardian"-class inland gunboat, incorporated it into the Bosnian National Guard, and used it as a trump card to attack the Bosnian National Guard in the direction of Abadan.

The bead-like light that Lieutenant Colonel Jamal saw in the command post before was the shells fired by the DPZ-076 76mm naval guns on the two "Guard"-class inland gunboats that had sailed into Arabian Hanoi.

In reality, the position of the howitzer regiment of the 3rd Independent Division of the Mesopotamian National Defense Forces was deduced based on the impact points of the avant-garde bursts, and then a burst of firepower was output to knock down this important firepower support point first.

Immediately afterwards, the muzzle was adjusted, and a round of covering fire came to the second line of defense stationed by the 772 regiment.

So far, the 076-round bomb bay under the DPZ-76 85mm naval gun on the bow of the two "Guard"-class inland gunboats has been completely exhausted.

However, it also covered the two reinforced companies crossing the wide Shatt al-Arab River to the west bank, and then merged with the vanguard companies holding on to the first line of defense, thereby expanding the 82nd Division's landing field and consolidating its own beachhead.

The next step is to tear a hole in the second line of defense of the 772 regiment, and further expand the landing field, so as to lay an irreversible foundation for the strength of the main force in the future.

Because of this, Zarif sent two more companies to cross the river, making the Bosnian troops on the west bank reach the size of a reinforced battalion, and then ordered without hesitation: "Your task is to break through their second line of defense. In terms of fire support, you can rest assured that there is absolutely a lot of control!"

After finishing speaking, he put down the communicator, raised the binoculars again, and said to the staff officer beside him: "Let's start!"

The staff officer nodded, picked up the communicator and ordered in a deep voice: "Start action!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw two "Guard"-class inland gunboats straddling the Shatt al-Arab River. The hull of the boat shook slightly, and immediately 122mm rockets poured out of the launcher...
