Chapter 308: Cyric Organ

The Germans have a long history of studying rocket launchers. As early as 1909, the German Krupp company purchased the patent for the fixed rocket launcher of Lieutenant Colonel Wenger from Sweden, and independently carried out improvements and trial production.
After the First World War, in order to bypass the Treaty of Versailles, a throwing weapon that could replace large-caliber artillery was developed to attack enemy troops defending trench fortresses, and to launch chemical ammunition and incendiary bombs. , Has been going on.
It's just that it didn't go well at the beginning. Like the Soviet development, the main problem was the propellant.
At first, black gunpowder was used, and it was manually operated, and the craftsmanship was very poor. In addition, the black gunpowder was easy to hit and catch fire, which made the development work very slow.
In this way, until 1935, a new, impact-resistant rocket propellant was successfully developed. Since then, the development of German rocket launchers has entered the fast lane.
Historically, the Germans developed rocket launchers of various calibers such as 150 mm, 210 mm, 300 mm, 280/320 mm, etc., in various forms such as fixed, towed and self-propelled.
It can be found that the Germans pay more attention to large-caliber rocket launchers. This is a different way of thinking.
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 time. Therefore, the Soviet Union's rocket launchers were mostly 80mm and 132mm, but the number of tubes was very large. , Or 24 tubes.
The Germans pay more attention to long-range precision strikes by heavy rockets.
You know, the rocket gun is not as precise as the barrel artillery. When shooting it can only be in the approximate direction, and the accuracy will not be too high. If Germany wants to improve the accuracy, it must use a heavy one.
The heavier the rocket, the less the influence of the wind in the air. At the same time, because the caliber is larger and heavier, the number of rocket launching tubes is also reduced. Each German rocket launcher has a maximum of 10 tubes.
Two, which one is better? Just look at the equipment of later generations to know!
Therefore, Cyric raised the issue of the caliber of the rocket launcher. Among them, the 107mm rocket launcher is relatively light. Just like the later China’s 63-type 12-barreled rocket launcher, mountain troops can be equipped, and two people can take it apart. Can be universally used in aviation rockets.
The 122mm rocket launcher, as a standard 40-barrel rocket launcher, is the same as the BM21 "Hail" series.
There are heavy rocket launchers over 300 mm.
Therefore, the 122mm multi-barrel rocket launchers should be equipped for the troops. They have fierce firepower and sufficient power. They are most suitable to accompany tanks to charge and cover the opponent in advance!
With Cyric's Dinghai Shenzhen, the military industry experts don't have to worry about it, and just design it according to the 122 mm diameter!
Although the tracked chassis has better off-road performance, it is also more expensive and consumes more fuel. This rocket launcher is the main support weapon. Therefore, after some research, they finally chose a 10-ton off-road chassis.
Relying on an excellent off-road chassis and a high-horsepower diesel engine, the number of tubes of this rocket launcher has reached a limit.
There are four rows, ten in each row, for a total of forty tubes!
After equipping the troops, they conducted a test firing. The firepower was absolutely frantic!
"General Cyric, this is the rocket launcher of our newly equipped unit." Seeing Cyric's interest, Guderian immediately came up to introduce him.
"This rocket launcher has two rows of 20 orbital launchers and 40 rockets. The projectile is 2870 mm long, 66 kg in weight, and 18.4 kg in warhead. The charge is 6.4 kg and the maximum range is 20 kilometers."
The 122mm rocket launcher has a 20-kilometer range. This 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 40-tube configuration has enough firepower.
Seeing Cyric nodded, Guderian knew that this weapon was developed by Cyric, and Cyric was very satisfied with the current results.
"This rocket launcher was named Type 38 rocket launcher, but after we equipped our troops, we gave it a new nickname."
nickname? Cyric turned around with interest: "What is it called?"
It must not be Katyusha, it was the title of the Soviet, and now, it looks like an organ pipe!
"It's called the Cyric Organ Pipe," Guderian said.
Guderian has been in a relationship with Cyric for more than ten years. He has a deep understanding of Cyric's personality. He is absolutely unambiguous in military management and equipment, and he is very easy-going in other aspects.
And this nickname originally praised Cyric.
In an instant, Cyric was speechless. In history, there seemed to be a Himmler organ pipe. He didn't expect that now in the army, he actually took it under his own name!
However, this matter, of course, is not worthy of Cyric's anger. Cyric has a smile on his face: "After that, many people will definitely scold me."
curse? Guderian was taken aback.
"The enemy will definitely scold me to death," Cyric said.
The high-ranking officials around immediately showed a smile and were scolded by the enemy. It was an honor to show that they were amazing!
"With this rocket launcher, we have more confidence." Guderian said: "In the past, we needed to call Stuka over. Now, when we encounter resistance from the front, we directly use the Cyric organ Let me greet them!"
In World War II~EbookFREE.me~ German rocket launchers were not well-known, because the German army was supported by the air force! Stuka's roar was the most common in the early days of World War II!
Cyric nodded, air-ground integration is very important, but it is also very important for the Army to solve its own problems! And it's no secret that he and Goering have conflicts.
"Report." At this moment, Cyric's assistant, Graf, who is also the captain of the guard, quickly came over: "The base camp said that there are several island officers who want to come to our SS to inspect."
How many officers from the island nation? Cyric suddenly had an idea in his mind. Could it be that they wanted to investigate a German tank and then they wanted to buy it?
In history, the islanders have bought Tiger tanks, but unfortunately, they were pitted by Germany in the end and got nothing. Now, the German tanks have shown their advanced nature in the Spanish Civil War. The islanders It is also possible to come to investigate.
"Do we still have Panther 2 tanks in stock?" Cyric asked Guderian. The advanced Panther 3 cannot be seen by the Japanese, and the Panther 2 is enough to show them the advanced nature.
