Chapter 617: Terrible rate of fire

What is the effect of the tank's rate of fire?
Once faced with an enemy, you must fight back immediately. Whoever fires first will have the upper hand. This principle is very simple.
Take a look at the ace tankers of the Hans Kingdom in World War II. Almost all of them have a high hit rate and a fast rate of fire. The bear country tankers were brought down before they could react.
When designing the tank, the General Administration of Armored Forces will propose a standard for the rate of fire, and this rate of fire is also a problem for a long time.
The Han Chinese are not as tall as Westerners, and the tankers of the Han are even smaller. The strength of these small men is limited. The key to solving the new tank gun is to get on the automatic loader.
If it is 125mm sub-loading ammunition, the problem of automatic loading is easy to solve. Surveying and mapping imitating T-72 is enough. However, the development prospects of 125mm tank guns are limited, not as good as 120mm fixed-loading shells.
It was Qin Guan who solved this problem.
After the firing of the first shell was completed, the captain yelled: "Grenade!"
The first one is an armor-piercing projectile and the second one is a grenade.
Following the commander's shout, the gunner quickly pressed the button. In the tail compartment of the turret, a grenade had been picked out by the semi-automatic loader and slid directly to the side of the loader along the slide.
The loader grabbed the shell, opened the gun door, and stuffed it in.
"One grenade, loading is complete!" the loader shouted loudly.
For tanks, there are no shells in the barrel. When it is needed and when it will be loaded, different types of shells should be selected according to the nature of the target.
I just hit armored targets and used armor-piercing bullets, but now it’s best to hit a bunker with a grenade.
The selection of different types of shells is the main task of the semi-automatic loader. At the same time, it is also responsible for transporting the selected shells to the front and then to the loader.
For the loader, the only thing that needs to be done is to grab the shell and stuff it into the barrel!
If it is fully loaded manually, the loader needs to turn back, look for the shells, and then pull the shells out of the cannon stand and stuff them in. There can be no mistakes in a series of actions.
Otherwise, if you don't hold it firmly, the shell will fall on the floor, and the foot will definitely be a comminuted fracture. If the grenade falls, it may be detonated, which is quite dangerous.
Now, the labor intensity of the loader has been greatly reduced. He only needs to grab the cannonball and stuff it into the barrel in one action.
It is this action that solves various technical problems. Because the shell is too long and fully automatic loading, the loading machine will be quite complicated and the reliability will be greatly reduced. If manual loading is too fatigued, this semi-automatic loading, Solve this problem perfectly.
At the same time, he also saved energy.
Now, as the cannonball was loaded, the gunner who had already finished aiming stepped on the trigger again.
"Boom!" The second shell was fired again. Compared with the first shell, the interval was only five seconds!
That's right, it is five seconds, this time is quite short.
A well-trained shooter and a strong loader can have a fast rate of fire. For example, Eagle Country’s M1A2 can achieve a shot in 6 seconds.
In contrast, the T-72's automatic loading machine, the fastest is 7 seconds.
In this way, it seems that the automatic loading machine is not as good as manual loading.
However, this is just the beginning.
With continuous shooting, the loader's physical strength will be quickly consumed, and the later rate of fire will decrease.
Now, inside the 79 tank, the loader is working hard.
Don't look at my skinny, I'm covered in muscles, don't look at my short stature, I'm just right for shells.
"Armor-piercing bullets are ready."
"Grenade shooting!"
Using armor-piercing shells and grenades alternately, the 79 tanks are constantly firing, and the air in the turret is still fresh. If it is the previous 59 tanks, the turret is already filled with smoke, but the gas in the tank guns is now being piped The smoking device in the middle is exhausted.
Finally, a minute passed.
"The No. 3 tank fired six rounds and hit four."
"The No. 2 tank shot eight rounds and hit five rounds."
"Tank No. 1, shot ten rounds and hit eight rounds!"
The No. 1 tank is simply too bad. It can shoot continuously for a minute, and it can reach a rate of fire of 10 rounds, an average of 6 seconds!
This is already even more powerful than the T-72's autoloader. At the same time, it shoots ten rounds and hits eight rounds, even if it is a fixed target, the hit rate is amazing.
Even Old Zhu was stunned.
Mobility, passing the assessment, firepower, and also passing the assessment, as for the protection, it is impossible to experiment.
Yes, there is no way to experiment.
You can’t use your own armor-piercing projectiles and fire on the tank. This tank costs millions of dollars. Han is not rich enough to use the tanks that just left the factory to shoot targets to determine the protection.
According to the truth, as long as there is no breakdown, it can still be used, but in fact, the mechanical structure inside the tank body will change when it is hit by a shell, which may cause problems in future use. It's like an accident car. After it's repaired, it will continue to drive, and it won't work anymore.
In other words, this 79 tank finalization test run has been successfully concluded.
"Stop!" Liu Minggang said to his tanker when he saw the welcoming crowd from a distance.
The tank not only needs to speed up, but also brakes hard, but now, the tank brake is very gentle, the 79 tank almost slid to the place where everyone stood.
"Good job!"
Watching a few people get out of the car, Colonel Zhao, the head of the group, said: "We have shown the training level of our group. However, we will have to strictly demand ourselves in the future."
Colonel Zhao's voice was very loud, so he was actually speaking to the person next to him.
Three tanks, their three tank regiments sent the best tank drivers to drive, but the 1 regiment was still the longest.
The face of the leader of the 2nd regiment next to you is ugly. You have good results because you have been driving Leopard 2 before. We drove 59. If we have been training with Leopard 2, it will definitely not be wrong.
"Today is a day to be celebrated. The 79 tank of the world's advanced level produced by ourselves has finally completed the finalization test." The leader of the Second Machinery Department was also very excited at this time: "This tank, all parts are Our own production is our own technology, and our army will have world-class advanced tanks!"
The leader of the Second Aircraft Department was standing on the tank, and he was also quite excited at this time.
The tanks were still braving the heat, and a group of people climbed up, and the three tanks stood side by side, and everyone flocked to the tanks.
The photographer clicked in front, leaving a precious memorial.
