Chapter 947
"I'm Mai Ka, there are actually 40 barrels?"
Stilwell counted silently in his heart and saw four rows of up and down, each with 10, which looked like a huge beehive, with great visual impact.
At this time, Xu Yongjiang introduced in a show-off tone: "Master, the caliber of this rocket we have improved is 122 mm, which is 10 mm smaller than the original sample.
However, our rocket launcher has 24 additional launch holes, and its maximum range is more than twice as far away.
In addition, this rocket launcher is much longer than a 155mm caliber grenade, more than twice the weight, the warhead is much more chargeable, and the lethality after the explosion is much stronger.
This rocket launcher has surface killing, unlike howitzers with a 155mm caliber that can only kill and kill. It is especially suitable for attacking exposed dense enemy live force gathering places, field fortifications and cluster tank artillery.
The most important thing is that this rocket launcher is a multi-barrel rocket launcher, not a guide rail
The deployment time is short and the maneuverability is very strong. You can come when you call it, and you can fight when you come. After fighting, you can change places immediately. Don’t worry about the counterattack and retaliation of the enemy’s artillery and the air force!”
???? "Then start launching now."
Stilwell felt itchy when he heard it, and he wanted to see what this new type of artillery is and what kind of shelling effect it will have!
"Yes, it'll be fine soon!"
Xu Yongjiang nodded with a smile, then waved at an officer not far away.
"fire!"
?Immediately afterwards, I saw the officer roaring and waved a small red flag in his hand at the same time.
The next moment, one of the 40 tube guns like a honeycomb, red light came out, and then a red light shot out from the barrel like lightning.
Then the huge sound of breaking through the air came.
Even though Yang Fan and the others put on their headphones in advance, their eardrums were still hurt by the huge sound.
However, this is just the beginning!
Immediately afterwards, when I saw the entire honeycomb of the military truck, it looked like a fire, and red lights appeared.
In a blink of an eye, the entire military truck was covered by the rolling smoke that was rising rapidly, and the rocket launcher itself could not be seen.
Only the red light that keeps blooming in the rolling smoke can still be vaguely visible.
Bang bang bang bang, it was like a string of super-large electric cannons. In just over ten seconds, a red light flashed, and 40 shells shot away one after another.
After the launch was completed, a series of earth-shaking explosions continued to explode in everyone's eardrums.
Even though everyone put on the headphones in advance, they could still clearly feel the extremely violent sound in their ears, surging wildly, and refused to dissipate for a long time.
"I'm Mai Ka, the launch speed is really too fast!"
"Damn it sounds really exciting!"
"Good guy, this series of bombings will be wiped out even if they are steel and iron bones!"
"It sounds so good, but the consumption of ammunition in this thing is too scary, right?"
Not to mention the effect of the bombing, just this prestigious movement is enough to shock everyone and trigger countless reverie.
As 40 heavy 122mm shells roared out, Yang Fan, Stilwell and others turned to the targets in the distance.
The target for this test launch was a hillside, 8 kilometers away from the launch site of the experimental base. The front hillside was marked with eye-catching signs.
In the telescope's field of view, everyone can clearly see a large box drawn with lime on the hillside, and there is a large crosshair in the middle of this large box.
It took nearly two minutes for the rocket to finally land on the hillside.
After the first rocket exploded, the subsequent 39 rockets immediately fell down like a heavy rain.
Bang bang bang bang bang, a series of explosions came back one after another. When I saw that the entire white box on the hillside in the distance had been completely obscured by the thick smoke produced by the explosion.
This round of rocket launcher salvo test was quite successful!
Although the arrow artillery is powerful and suppressive, it is like a volcano erupting hot magma, pouring overwhelmingly on the enemy target. The sound is like thunder and tiger roaring, and the heat is like a surging wave of mountains and seas. It not only eliminates the enemy's large amount of living forces and military equipment, but also gives the enemy a huge spiritual shock.
However, there are also some shortcomings in themselves, that is, the projectile speed is low, the strike accuracy is poor, and the power is insufficient. It is generally used for strikes on a large scale.
"It's really shocking! Such a range of killing and such explosion intensity, once it is put on a large scale on the battlefield, it will be a completely nightmare for the enemy!"
Stilwell's eyes widened, and he was completely reluctant to let go of any test shot details.
As a veteran, Stilwell couldn't tell that this rocket launcher was completely an epoch-making weapon to protect the country, which is worthy of being a country!
Yang Fan nodded and said, "Yes, this thing is used well. It is indeed very powerful. It is very suitable for annihilation of enemy cluster targets and is very conducive to frontal breakthrough battles!
But this thing is too expensive, and just this volley shot just now costs more than 3,000 yuan! And this is the lowest cost price, not including labor, storage, transportation, poor loss and other costs!”
It doesn't matter if it sets up such a big firework, but once it is used on a large scale in the army, a rocket artillery regiment can easily shoot out more than 100,000 yuan.
Yang Fan just thought about this kind of ammunition consumption and had a great headache.
Now the United States has been completely involved in the war, and all its local military-industrial enterprises are working at full capacity to produce guns, ammunition, weapons and equipment, but all of them have been purchased and requisitioned by the US government.
Therefore, no matter how rich Dongxing Trading Company is, it can buy any plane and tank as before, as long as you give it money!
Fortunately, Yang Fan saved a lot of ammunition in advance, and the military factories in Shandong also had considerable production capacity, otherwise they would have to buy them all from the system shopping mall!
In that case, no matter how rich Yang Fan is, he will not be able to withstand the consumption of large-scale wars!
Stilwell smiled and said, "This is called value for money. With such a powerful weapon in war, no matter how many Japanese people come, they will not be afraid of it. I am really looking forward to it!"
Stilwell stared at the hillside where the smoke had not yet dissipated, and his heart began to fantasize about the pleasant scene of one day, a hundred cannons would blow up the Japanese devils' positions in an instant.
After pausing, Stilwell turned to look at Yang Fan and said, "Yang, your military R&D capabilities have always been too powerful. I just don't know if this rocket launcher has applied for a patent and can it be produced by the American arms company?"
Yang Fan smiled and said, "In fact, our rocket launcher technology borrowed from Soviet rocket launchers and greatly improved it on this basis. We have not yet applied for a patent in the United States.
