In fact, Zhang Yunhan is also training weapons researchers. From firearms to tanks, aircraft, cannons, and even missiles, they are under development. However, due to some technical restrictions and industrial restrictions, some advanced things cannot be developed in advance.
But with 41 years of technology, Zhang Yunhan is confident that he can create some thick and powerful weapons.
As early as 1931, Zhang Yunhan asked systematic tank research and development personnel to develop a new type of tank, which became the famous 59 in later generations! !
But the 100mm tank gun has stumped the tank research team. The data given by Zhang Yunhan is the 100mm tank gun. In this era, no one has thought of installing such a gun on a tank, but it seems that there is no such thing as a 100mm tank gun. The problem, the problem is, it can't be worked out.
Fortunately, Zhang Yunhan took out a 100mm naval gun from the system, and this naval gun was also the source of the later T54 tank gun, the 100mm B-34 naval gun. At the request of the Technology Department, the Artillery Research Institute after a year of research Research and development, finally developed a 100mm tank gun, the actual performance is superior to the Dezi 88mm anti-aircraft gun produced by Zhang Yunhan.
Coupled with the technology provided by this system, Zhang Yunhan set his target on 59 again.
Combined with systematic technology, the Type 59 is finally ready for production.
59 is named the Tiger tank. This tiger is not the other tiger. This is China's Tiger, and it is also the most advanced tank in the world.
Tiger style:
The tank consists of two parts: the body and the turret.
The car body is welded from rolled steel plates. The cockpit is on the left side of the front of the car body. The middle section of the car body is the fighting compartment with a turret on it. The rear of the car body is the power-transmission compartment, and the engine is arranged transversely.
The turret is a casting, and there are 4 crew members in the car. The driver is located in the front left side of the car for easy forward observation; the commander is located on the left rear side of the gun, and the gunner's position is in front and below the commander's position; the loader is located on the gun Right.
The vehicle carries 34 rounds of artillery shells. There are 20 rounds of artillery shells in the right front shell rack, 2 rounds are fixed on the left deck, 4 rounds are fixed on the right deck, 2 rounds are fixed on the right wall of the turret, 5 rounds are fixed on the tail of the turret, and another 1 The rounds are stored on the floor of the fighting compartment below the breech of the gun. The safety door is located behind the driver's seat.
The main weapon of the tank is a 100mm rifled gun with a length of 5.608m and a weight of 1948kg. The maximum range is 13000m. The gun can fire blunt armor-piercing projectiles and grenades with a maximum rate of fire of 4 rounds/min. Auxiliary weapons include a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun installed on the top of the turret, a 7.62mm coaxial machine gun installed coaxially on the right side of the gun, and a 7.62mm front machine gun installed on the right front of the driver.
Body armor (mm), front 120, sides 80, rear 45. Turret armor (mm), front 200, sides 108, rear 65.
Of course, this Tiger still has some problems, such as lack of power and only a 500-horsepower diesel engine, but it is definitely enough, and the engine can be replaced later.
As for the machine gun, Zhang Yunhan took out the m39/41 machine gun, which is actually the mg42 general-purpose machine gun. It was successfully developed in 1941 and was not named. Of course, for the convenience of the logistics department, Zhang Yunhan asked the Firearms Research Institute to adjust the mg42 and replace the 7.92mm barrel with 7.62mm so that it can be used with the 28 semi-automatic rifle bullet (the bullet length is different, of course, this will be adjusted). The M2 heavy machine gun began to withdraw from army equipment.
In terms of artillery, the mountain cannon still uses the Bofors 75mm mountain cannon. For the 105mm howitzer, Dezi's lefh18 howitzer continues to be used, but it is improved to have a range of 13,000 meters.
All the original 150mm artillery were retired and equipped with the M114 155mm howitzer. The M114 howitzer has a maximum range of 14.5 kilometers (using M107 high-explosive bombs). In addition, it can also use illumination bombs, smoke screen bombs, poison gas bombs and M1 propaganda bombs, but it cannot use new precision guidance. Cannonballs.
As for the Air Force, all aircraft have been retired and equipped with P51 fighter jets!
There is nothing special about the layout of the P-51 fighter, but it uses advanced laminar airfoils, a highly concise fuselage design, and a reasonable layout of internal equipment, which greatly reduces its aerodynamic resistance and is comparable in size and weight to similar aircraft. Under equivalent circumstances, the fuel capacity increased by three times. This gives it a range of 1,370 kilometers (one direction), which is enough to cover the longest range of attacks by B-17 bombers.
The fighter jet was redesigned and equipped with six 12.7mm machine guns and 1,800 rounds of ammunition. (Mainly because of the lack of firepower of the P51, we will consider retrofitting it with a cannon later.)
The p51 combat radius is 1020km, the ceiling is 12800 meters, the maximum flight speed reaches 708km per hour, and the range is 2755km (two-way)!
As for bombers, do we need to talk about them?
Of course it’s b17 above.
The B-17 bomber is the world's first all-metal fuselage 4-engine bomber. It adopts a low-wing conventional aerodynamic layout, a constant-speed propeller engine, a bomb load of 2 tons, a range of 2980 kilometers, and a speed of 322 to 402 kilometers per hour. meters, with a crew of 4 to 6 people. Compared with other bombers, this aircraft has the characteristics of large size, fast speed and long range.
b17
Crew 11 people
Can carry 2100kg aerial bombs
Top speed 438km/h
Maximum ceiling 10,700 meters
It can fly 3,200 kilometers with a load of 900kg.
Of course, with the B17, the radar must be built on the basis of the B17. Are there any airborne early warning aircraft? As for weapons, there is no need for them. The main requirement is to stay in the air for a long time. The radar is in the sky, so that aerial vision of farther areas can be obtained. This will be an absolute lead for future air and naval battles.
Of course, the B17 modified early warning aircraft will definitely not work, but for now it is definitely the only one.
Shenyang is only 1,600 kilometers away from the Japanese army, so this is a good thing. If you build more, you can add some cumin to Honshu.
As for the navy, well, there is no navy, and there is no outlet to the sea. Maybe after fighting the little devils, we can rely on the seaports of Liao Province to develop the navy.
But Zhang Yunhan knows the direction of the future development of the navy. He will first develop missiles. Once the missiles are available, he will then develop guidance and put them on the ship. What about battleships and cruisers? Do they have missiles?
But what restricts the development of missiles is the engine, which is difficult to handle. Without more than ten years of accumulation, it is simply unscientific to try to figure it out.
Of course, this does not mean that Zhang Yunhan will not develop aircraft carriers. This thing cannot be left behind. It is a valuable weapon for a big country.
