Chapter 310 Cyric Organ

The Germans have a long history of researching rocket launchers. As early as 1909, the German company Krupp purchased the patent for the fixed rocket launcher of Lieutenant Colonel Wenger of Sweden, and independently carried out improvement 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 the enemy defending trenches and fortresses, and to launch chemical ammunition, incendiary bombs, etc., the development of rocket launchers , has been going on.

However, it was not smooth at the beginning. Like the development of the Soviets, it was mainly the problem of propellants.

At first, black gunpowder was used, and it was manually operated, and the craftsmanship was poor. In addition, black gunpowder was easy to hit and catch fire, which made the development work very slow.

In this way, until 1935, a new type of impact-resistant rocket propellant was successfully developed. Since then, the development of German rocket launchers has entered the fast lane.

Historically, the Germans have developed 150mm, 210mm, 300mm, 280/320mm and other rocket launchers of various calibers, in fixed, towed and self-propelled forms.

It can be found that the Germans pay more attention to large-caliber rocket launchers, which is a different way of thinking.

The Soviet Union used rocket artillery on a large scale and used a large amount of ammunition to cover the target in a short period of time to achieve its goal. Therefore, almost all the rocket artillery in the Soviet Union were mainly 80mm and 132mm, but the number of tubes was very large, and a salvo was 16 tubes. , or 24 tubes.

The Germans paid more attention to long-distance precision strikes with heavy rockets.

You must know that the rocket artillery 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 heavy ones.

The heavier the rocket, the less affected the wind will be in the air. At the same time, because the caliber is larger and heavier, the number of launch tubes of the rocket will be reduced. Each German rocket launcher was up to 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 lightweight. Just like the 63-type 12-barrel rocket launcher of the later Huaxia, it can be equipped by mountain troops, and it can be taken away by two people. Can be used for aviation rockets.

The 122mm rocket launcher, as a standard 40-barrel rocket launcher, is the same as the BM21 "Hail" series.

There is a heavy rocket launcher above 300 mm.

Therefore, the equipment for the troops should be this 122mm multi-barrel rocket launcher, which has strong firepower and sufficient power. It is most suitable for charging with the tank group and covering the opponent in advance!

With Cyric's Dinghaishen needle, the military experts don't have to worry about it, they can design it directly according to the 122mm needle!

Although the tracked chassis has better off-road performance, it is also more expensive and consumes more fuel, and this rocket is the main support weapon, so 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 also reached a limit.

There are four rows in total, ten in each row, forty tubes in total!

After equipping the troops, they conducted a test firing, and the firepower was absolutely maddening!

"General Cyric, this is our latest rocket launcher." Seeing Cyric's interest, Guderian immediately came up to introduce.

"This rocket has 20 orbital launchers in double rows and 40 rockets. The projectile is 2,870 mm long, weighs 66 kg, and weighs 18.4 kg for the warhead, including 6.4 kg of charge and a maximum range of 20 kilometers."

The 122mm rocket launcher has the most basic range of 20 kilometers, which is exactly the distance to be covered in advance. The 40-tube configuration has enough firepower.

Seeing Cyric nodding, Guderian knew that this weapon was developed under the auspices of Cyric, and that Cyric was very satisfied with the current results.

"This rocket launcher was named Type 38 rocket launcher, but after equipping our troops, we gave it a new nickname."

nickname? Cyric looked back with interest: "What's it called?"

It's definitely not Katyusha, that's the title of the Soviets, and now, looking at it this way, 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, and has a deep understanding of Cyric's personality. In terms of military management and equipment, he is absolutely unambiguous, and in other aspects, he is very easy-going.

And this nickname was originally a tribute to Cyric.

In an instant, Cyric was speechless. In history, it seems that there was a Himmler organ pipe. I didn't expect that in the army, it was actually given according to his own name!

However, this incident is of course not worth Cyric's anger. Cyric had a smile on his face: "After that, many people will definitely scold me."

scold? Guderian was stunned.

"The enemy will definitely scold me to death," Cyric said.

The surrounding high-ranking officials immediately showed a smile, and being scolded by the enemy was an honor, which showed that he was very powerful!

"With this rocket launcher, we have more confidence." Guderian said: "In the past, we needed to call Stuka to come over. Now, when we encounter resistance from the front, we directly use the Cyric organ. Come and greet them!"

In World War II, German rocket launchers were not famous 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, the integration of air and ground is very important, but it is also very important for the army to solve its own problems! It was no secret that he had a conflict with Goering.

"Report." At this moment, Graf, Cyric's assistant, who is also the captain of the guard, came over quickly: "The base camp said that there are several island officers who want to come to our SS for inspection."

How many officers of the island nation? Cyric immediately had a thought in his mind. Could it be that they want to inspect the German chariot and then want to buy it?

Historically, the islanders have purchased Tiger tanks, but unfortunately, they were swindled by Germany in the end and got nothing. Now, the German chariots have shown their advanced nature in the Spanish Civil War. The islanders It is also possible to visit.

"Do we still have Panther 2 tanks in stock?" Cyric asked Guderian. The advanced Black Panther 3 cannot be seen by the Japanese. With the Black Panther 2, it is enough to show them the advanced nature.
