Chapter 2301 Firepower Innovation

"But this is not enough reason for them to escape. We will kill them one by one, and then hang the bastards who wet their pants on the street lamp pole to let them know what will happen if they dare to set foot on German soil. End. Google Search Read”

Wittmann was convinced that it would be difficult for him to urinate in the same pot as this villain.

I was discussing tactical issues and offensive deployment with him. Fortunately for him, he had already planned how to torture and kill American prisoners of war later. This time, he wanted to do something new and hang him from a lamppost instead of shooting him directly. Who knows? This guy has so many killing tricks that he has yet to use, but Wittmann has no interest in them at all.

"Then the original plan remains unchanged, except that we must be prepared to go all out and not underestimate the enemy. I speculate that the US military in the town will be attracted as soon as the battle breaks out, and my people will destroy as many of them as possible vehicles, blocking the road to prevent reinforcements and providing you with cover."

"When the time comes, you will quickly seize traffic points and commanding heights at road intersections, and establish suppressive firepower. My people will follow up later, and we will work together to repel the enemy's reinforcements. If things go well, we can advance into the town and drive the enemy out in one go. , what's your problem here?"

Facing Wittmann's final confirmation, Heisenberg, who had a terrifying scar carved on his face, just grinned, and his already disfigured face instantly became more ferocious and terrifying.

"No problem. Kill the Americans. What's wrong with that? Simple."

Everything that needs to be said has been said. Wittmann didn't want to talk too much with this villain, so he put away the map and returned to his car, and ordered his crews to move forward in combat formation and prepare for battle. .

"Do the Americans know we're coming?"

Wegener, who was in the gunner's position, immediately turned around and asked when the commander came back. Wittmann just shook his head.

"Don't know yet, but will soon know and welcome us, armor-piercing reloads."

"no problem!"

It’s not just the power system of Wittmann’s command-type King Tiger that has changed. The entire firepower system has also undergone earth-shaking changes, including the loading process.

The usual Tiger King has one loader in its belly, but here Wittmann has two.

When Wittmann gave the order to start loading, a loader heard the sound and immediately bent down, took out a warhead from the ammunition rack on the side of the vehicle body, and took it into his arms.

At the same time, another loader standing on the other side of the breech pressed the button at hand to activate the semi-automatic loading mechanism.

The semi-automatic wheel loader driven by hydraulic pressure is quickly lifted by the hydraulic rod to the same level as the breech block.

That is to say, at the same moment when the loader was in place and stopped rising, the other loader holding the projectile had already turned back to the breech block, and with both hands, he put the projectile in front of the loader and into the breech block. Inside the loading slide that is rigidly connected to the tail.

Everything was ready, and the loader who was responsible for operating the loader naturally didn't just sit around and be a spectator.

Instead, he quietly stretched out his right arm and grasped the vertical handle on the loader for loading and pushing. His arm drove the entire right arm to exert force instantly, and the propellant cartridge preloaded in the semi-automatic loader was pushed against the situation. The projectiles placed on the front slide rail are pushed into the chamber in one breath.

Ding-ding——

Kaka——

"Loading completed!"

The sound of the breech closing was heard, the loader reset and fell back, and the entire loading process was completed in one go.

The text description may seem complicated, but it actually happened in just seven seconds, maybe about five seconds.

This is naturally directly related to the sophistication of the elite crew led by Wittmann, but it is also undeniable that without the support of double loaders and this semi-automatic loader, the reloading time would be even three times less. of.

"Phew! I like this feeling. Larger caliber and more powerful shells make loading easier and faster. Ha, I am the world's number one in German technology!"

The loader responsible for operating the loader is obviously the main loader. He is only responsible for selecting the corresponding projectiles according to the commander's orders and placing them on the loading slide for loading. It is purely a physical job. Can only be regarded as a deputy loader.

Moreover, he is also the new "kid" who subsequently joined the Wittmann team. There was no place for him in the original No. 007 team.

Of course, the older and more experienced main loader is more qualified to speak when it comes to the evaluation of the entire loading process.

"This loader is good at everything. It's a pity that it loads ammunition separately, otherwise the rate of fire would be faster."

Wegner, who pursued firepower, focused on speed of fire as the core point of his speech, rather than reloading. Wittmann, who took advantage of the situation, changed the core argument again.

"But it is a more powerful 105 gun with a longer barrel, higher muzzle velocity and greater power. Isn't this what you have always wanted?"

Wegner, whose mouth had already turned up to a rather large angle, did not turn his head. After hearing the sound, he just smiled and answered.

"Yes, it's like opening cans and smashing the Americans' broken cars one by one. I like this feeling!"

It is true that the 105-round loading brings a more complicated loading process, but after removing the first ammunition rack at the rear end of the turret and accommodating two loaders, and with the support of a semi-automatic loader, all these unfavorable factors have been eliminated to a considerable extent, and the final loading time has not become longer, but has been greatly reduced and faster.

Except that when the loader was originally designed, only the length of the 88-gun fixed ammunition was considered, so it was impossible to make the 105 rounds into fixed ammunition, and at best, the cartridges of the 105 rounds could only be stuffed in, and because the cartridges were thicker, the ammunition capacity of the slightly modified loader was reduced to 6 rounds, which was somewhat unsatisfactory.

Everything else is perfect, and even because of the split ammunition, it cleverly avoids two annoying problems on the 88-gun loader: rapid selection of ammunition in battle, and how to pre-load the loader with ammunition that can meet combat needs.

After all, the 88 gun's fixed shells can only be loaded once. How many high-explosive shells and armor-piercing shells should be put into the loader, and how to distribute the proportion of the pre-loaded shells in the loader, all need to be considered clearly in advance, and reasonable distribution should be made according to the specific situation of the next battle.

Otherwise, for example, the commander who is doing the pre-loaded shell distribution is inexperienced, misjudged the battle situation, and did not fully anticipate it. It is possible that the enemy facing is a large number of infantry, but the loader is stuffed with a bunch of armor-piercing shells. Or the enemy facing is a huge amount of steamed buns, but the loader is stuffed with high-explosive shells used to deal with infantry, which is an embarrassing situation.

The limitation of the loader's small ammunition capacity is here, and the ammunition distribution must be done reasonably. The youth version of the loader these days does not have as large an ammunition capacity as the third-generation main battle tank loader in the future 21st century for you to choose.
