Chapter 2512 Summary 2

Your country's M1A3 actually corresponds to the K09-3 cannon. The improvement direction of this artillery is to make the elevation angle of the artillery larger so that it can have more diverse ballistics. The prototype of the K09 cannon you know has a maximum elevation angle of 43 degrees, while the elevation angle of the M1A3 is 75 degrees. The idea of ​​obtaining some special trajectories by changing the elevation angle is a good one, but the strength of the gun mount is very problematic. "

"In fact, there is no need to worry too much about the life of the gun mount. The United States of America has enough heavy artillery for us to squander. As long as we can suppress the long-range artillery of the Japanese army, then everything is not a problem." Pershing said.

"Okay, but what about the related transport vehicles and auxiliary equipment? You know, whether it is on soft sand or bumpy gravel ground, these guys transporting weights up to more than ten tons require special tractors. Full track Type. The requirements for power and vehicle stability are also very high." Major General Karls said.

"The problem is not big, we try to be satisfied." There was some hesitation in Pershing's words. For the United States, if the problem can be solved with quantity, it is not a problem, but if it needs to be solved technically and it cannot be achieved technically, then That's really a problem.

"Well, in that case, I think I can put forward a general solution for you to improve." As he spoke, Major General Karls pulled out a shooting table from the file, and then quickly came to a huge sand table. "The reason why naval guns cannot effectively suppress the Japanese long-range artillery is not only the range, but also the ballistics. We need a more curved ballistics, for example." As he spoke, Major General Karls drew an arc in the air.

"Because our artillery shells need to cross many mountains and heights, they need a higher trajectory, but because the distance between the two sides is very far, we need a longer range. Well, now there is only one way, in The artillery fires with strong charges when the artillery is at a high elevation angle. We have also carried out similar operations on the Western Front, and the effect is not bad, but the damage to the artillery, especially the gun mount, is relatively large," said Major General Karls.

According to the most basic mathematical principles, the maximum range of the artillery is obtained at an angle of 45 degrees. Therefore, generally the maximum elevation angle of a long-range cannon in World War I will not exceed 45 degrees, because as a long-range suppression artillery, your range will not be increased if the elevation angle is too large, and the requirements for the gun mount will be higher. Therefore, later generations of long-range artillery will increase the elevation angle. It's just for more diverse ballistics. An elevation angle exceeding 45 degrees will shorten the range of the artillery shell. The most critical problem with the Japanese long-range artillery position is that if you want to attack this target, first of all, your ballistics need to be curved, and secondly, you need a range. If you want to solve this problem, you can only increase the elevation angle of the artillery and use strong medicine to meet the needs of the range.

"Even if it is feasible in terms of ballistics, we still have to find a suitable location to deploy these artillery. We cannot deploy it to the current landing site, because the Japanese will soon discover these places and easily destroy our long-range artillery." Pershing said.

"New Ireland is a big island;

In addition to the landing sites currently selected by the US military, there are actually some open spaces in the coastal areas. These open spaces are close to mountains or plateaus. Because it is impossible to enter the interior of the island from here, your army has not paid attention to it. But if we deploy artillery positions in In these positions, there is still a chance to threaten some Japanese long-range artillery from the side. "As he spoke, Major General Karls used the putter in his hand to mark several locations on the map. "Deploy some 155MM long-range artillery here. We have a chance to suppress nearly half of the Japanese long-range artillery discovered today. "

In fact, when it comes to understanding the New Ireland Islands, both Americans and Japanese are too ignorant compared to the Germans! After all, Germany had occupied this island for more than 40 years! The Germans, who were rigorous by nature, conducted a relatively detailed survey of the entire island, and combined with the performance of the weapons and equipment in their hands, the Germans could naturally deduce which places could be used. Although these places seem to be very unfriendly to heavy equipment, they are either tidal flats, beaches, or rocky coasts. This is why Major General Karls previously raised the issue of the possible need for high-horsepower special vehicles. However, since the United States has said that there is no problem, the remaining engineering issues are the business of the Americans and have nothing to do with Major General Karls.

"Major General Marshall, tell me what you think." Pershing said.

"There is no problem. At least on the beach, we can transport these heavy weapons. We will use special load-bearing tractors for towing. Previously, we have considered the problem of heavy artillery operating on the beach. We have replaced all heavy artillery with tracks. , there is no problem with normal passage, and we have also prepared a large number of prefabricated steel plates. You should have seen them, which are hollow steel plates with a porous structure. We can first use construction machinery to create a relatively flat position, and then lay the steel plates. "Major General Marshall said.

The Americans have done a very good job in preparations, especially the logistics and infrastructure are at the MAX level! This not only includes providing an unlimited supply of drinking water to the personnel on the destroyer and equipping the submarine with an ice cream machine, but also includes establishing a military depot, artillery position or airport in seemingly impossible places for the Japanese army!

"What about the other half?" Major General Marshall asked after thinking for a while. And Major General Karls made a helpless gesture, which meant, I can't help you either.

"If we can mobilize heavier artillery, is there any chance to solve the remaining problems?" Marshall said still unwillingly.

"The heaviest towed artillery in the empire is the 175MM cannon, and the higher level is the train gun level. I don't think that under the current circumstances, the United States can deploy train guns here, and it seems that there is no train gun in your country larger than the 6-inch It’s a bigger towed artillery gun,” Major General Karls said.

Karls made it very clear that if you want to shoot farther, you need larger artillery, and it must be able to be deployed here. The largest American 6-inch artillery, the German 175MM artillery, but if it needs to be allocated and transported from Germany, it is definitely not a problem that can be solved in a short time, so you just make do with it first.

"It's not easy to solve half of it. We can't push everything to our allies. Here, I thank the German Empire for its help to the United States. If there is a need on the front line, can you and your men arrive? Frontline? Of course, I can guarantee that the US military will try its best to ensure their safety. They are only responsible for artillery-related work." The black old man Pershing said sincerely.
