Chapter 717: Selling armored combat vehicles

"Such an army cannot withstand the attack from the Qi army at all. The personal combat effectiveness of the Qi army is very strong. Their individual quality may surpass the Qin army soldiers, and their fighting skills and rapid-fire weapon shooting far exceed ours. Moreover. They may surpass us in terms of equipment. Our country provides a small machine gun specially used for close combat. (Here refers to the submachine gun.) This gun can fire 500 rounds of ammunition in one minute. At the extreme Within a period of time, a 30-round bullet can be fired. This powerful firepower is enough to suppress those rifles that only have a single shot at an extreme time. This gap is too obvious." Military observers said. .

However, for the small machine gun mentioned later, as well as this new weapon. The Qin military did not pay too much attention to it. From the perspective of Qin Jun's standards for purchasing weapons. This kind of rate of fire is very fast, but weapons that use pistols have natural shortcomings in shooting distance, and the accuracy of shooting is very poor. For this weapon. The military is not optimistic. Moreover, they believe that this is a substitute caused by Qin's previous arms trade restrictions. Qin Jun is not very optimistic about this.

Qin Jun is not optimistic about this because of his own reasons, and they are trying their best to promote their expertise in this area. Their first customers were Yan Jun.

Everyone knows that the Yan army is poor in combat effectiveness. This difference is due to human factors, not because the Yan people have weak fighting will. It is that their national system cannot arouse this kind of civil will to fight. On the contrary, their excessive taxation has weakened this blood. However, the war has now changed the factor of the human body directly relying on physical strength to win. Physical strength began to drop from a major factor to a minor factor, and another factor rose rapidly. This factor is the weapon. Whose weapon is advanced. And has a certain special advantage, then he will have an unparalleled advantage.

"Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." This is Qin's first standard armored fighting vehicle, manufactured by Qin's United Automobile Manufacturing Plant. This armored fighting vehicle uses a more mature track method. The engine is placed at the back. Use an aluminum diesel engine with a power of 50 horsepower. In the north of Qin State, especially Guyuan, today there are a large number of rare earth resources near Baotou, Inner Mongolia. It is precisely by using these rare earths that Qin State has made some rare special metals, especially the great progress in aluminum. These new materials have huge advantages in reducing medium weight and providing beneficial heat-resistant fastenings. It is precisely this advantage that Qin Guo made to produce such an aluminum diesel engine.

In terms of the power provided by the engine, diesel engines have advantages over gasoline engines, especially when used in heavy-duty crawler trucks. In World War II, Germany also tried to make and popularize this powerful diesel tank. But Germany lacks the necessary rare earth resources. This kind of resource has a natural advantage in manufacturing special engines, and Germany just lacks this kind of resources. Since Russia controls Siberia, this kind of resources is relatively abundant. But now, Qin is not worried about this, because Qin has a place where rare earths are produced.

However, it is worth mentioning that the Qin armored fighting vehicle at this time used a four-stroke diesel engine instead of the most powerful two-stroke diesel engine later. Although Qin Guo's laboratory is also experimenting with two-stroke diesel engines, this diesel engine is only in the experimental stage and has not produced a prototype. In this way, the power of the diesel engine used by Qin State has a certain limit, but the two-stroke diesel engine is already in the experimental stage. I believe it will appear in automobiles soon.

This armored fighting vehicle is composed of two people. The internal space of the armored fighting vehicle is extremely narrow, because the tank itself is not large, it is only one foot in length and one foot in width, which is less than one foot in height. The internal space of such an armored fighting vehicle is very narrow, so the entire armored fighting vehicle can only carry two people and the corresponding fuel and ammunition supplies.

One member drives and the other operates the machine gun. All armored combat vehicles use a mixture of riveting and welding to complete armor coverage. The armor thickness is only three to five thick steel plates riveted, and some special places are completed by welding. The armor thickness is not very thick. Moreover, Qin State did not distinguish the difference between the front armor and the side armor at the beginning, and all the armors had the same thickness.

It is a bit difficult to drive such a thick armor with horsepower, so in terms of speed. The speed of the armored fighting vehicle is only about sixty miles per hour. This speed is already very fast for infantry. But compared with the cavalry. There is still a certain gap in mobility. All are off-road performance. Armored fighting vehicles are not as mobile as horses. Especially in hilly areas with steep slopes. Sometimes such armored vehicles can't get on.

In terms of weapon systems, the Qin State Manufacturing Factory originally installed a two-inch small-caliber artillery, but the space in the armored fighting vehicle was too narrow and had to give up, and finally had to choose a machine gun as its main weapon. The armored fighting vehicle lacks a good line of sight. Especially the driver. Only a small gap can be seen clearly, so Qin experts used a periscope to allow the machine gunner to observe, and then communicate with the pilot. The actual situation is that there is a lot of noise inside the armored combat vehicle. The machine gunner can only understand by hand gestures or loud shouts. Moreover, the machine gunner must continuously shoot around and operate the machine gun. Because the effective weapon against tanks is artillery. The Qin infantry artillery can kill this kind of "junk" chariot. Qin State infantry said by himself.

Sometimes, the driver has to wear a pistol. Shoot through a certain gap. Mainly protective armored combat vehicles. It can be said that the protection of armored fighting vehicles can only resist the attack of bullets, but not the attack of artillery.

In the suspension system, Qin Guo uses a more advanced hydraulic suspension system. This system is not very mature. Qin Guo's tracked vehicles mostly use a spring and hydraulic suspension system. Hydraulic suspension is also an immature new technology.

The hydraulic suspension requires plastic materials with better sealing properties. This material is extremely wear-resistant. So it needs to be replaced constantly. It can be said that this is an experimental product.

Qin State has experimentally equipped two companies with such tracked armored combat vehicles. However, there is a big difference between the two connection methods. One is used alone. It is mainly used in accordance with the tactics of the cavalry mobile charge. The other is used with infantry. But infantrymen are generally unwilling to match this type of armored fighting vehicle. First, his speed is very slow. Sometimes the infantry came in front of him. The main reason is that the continuous occurrence of faults stops the armor. In addition, armored combat vehicles have limited visibility. If the vehicle is reversed, or the infantry is on the side, it is easy to crush one's own people when the armor moves left and right. Several soldiers have lost their legs for this. Therefore, the soldiers are very pessimistic about this kind of thing. Not willing to fight with armored combat vehicles. When soldiers contact the armored fighting vehicle, they generally like to smash the armor of the armored fighting vehicle severely with the butt. Because they think this can take revenge on the tank.

In addition to these. Qin State is also equipped with a company of armored cars. The armored car is formed by riveting iron plates on the basis of the Qin Guo Ding car. Because of its low horsepower. Qin can only match some rifles on it. Or a light infantry machine gun. The firepower and defense of armored vehicles are due to infantry, but they are barely weak in artillery. The results of Qin State's experiments show. This armored fighting vehicle can be penetrated by old-fashioned bronze artillery used by the opponent at one hundred and fifty steps. If you are hit in a row. It may be completely destroyed by fire. Because gasoline is used, gasoline is very volatile.

Qin State combined two companies of armored tracked vehicles and one company of armored vehicles, plus a logistics supply support company and a special infantry company to form an armored mobile battalion. This is Qin's first experimental armored warfare organization.

On the observation exercise platform, the Qin military invited Ju Xin and Yan Guo Tai Zi Dan, who have been walking frequently recently, as well as the Yan Guo ambassador and military attache to observe and visit. Except for the Yan Guoren. There are also Zhao Guo's famous general Li Mu and his entourage.

Qin State demonstrated their superiority in armored warfare. Because it is impossible for several other countries to make armored fighting vehicles, only the Qin family can make armored fighting vehicles. And Qin is also the only big country with the rise of the automobile industry.

Li Mu and others said nothing. The general of the State of Qin Wang Jian kept introducing him. Because in accordance with the suggestions put forward by the Qin State Supreme Conference. The State of Qin plans to sell the armored tanks to the State of Yan. Moreover, Qin State wanted to sell the equipment of this battalion to Yan State at a high price. In exchange for more funds to build stronger armored forces. At the same time, in Yan State, Qin State wants to check. The two different ways of using armored vehicles are more effective. More killing effect.

The Yan people kept watching these weapons that could move back and forth for defense and offense. These weapons could move and stop. The most important thing is to realize the contradictory combination of offense and defense.

Yan Guo has actually lost the possibility of building a line of defense in a short period of time. And it is impossible to defend the borders of one's own country. This is a fact. But the emergence of this armored fighting vehicle weapon. But this situation can be greatly improved. Yan State can use armored combat vehicles to build a stable line of defense. This line of defense can be built with the help of armored combat vehicles.

Line up the chariots. This line of defense can be completed. And Qin people think so too. That's what Qin meant to let the people of Yan see.
