Chapter 956 Air Defense Program
In fact, Roland’s key issues before it were followed by air defense forces.
As a person who has seen modern warfare, the importance of air superiority is almost as engraved in his mind as the creed - due to the breadth and depth of the sky, The party that has the advantage can choose to launch the attack from any direction and at any time. And before the radar did not appear, such an attack can be said to be invincible. If there is no reliable air defense capability, it is tantamount to idiots to dream of building a bombardment position under the devil's eyes.
Now he can be sure that when Luo Jia escaped to the Winter City, the devil had more than once reached the border of the West. Otherwise, it is impossible for them to judge that this is a city dominated by ordinary people, and try to reapply with the threat of the first war of gods.
But no matter whether it is a post on a desperate mountain range or a demon witch who is on the front line for early warning investigation, there is always no notice, if it is not Sylvie’s takeover Vigilant work, I am afraid this round of attacks until the enemy appears outside the city wall, the first army can react.
This has fully proved that under the current technical conditions, the vast sky will be the biggest loophole without the winter city defense.
After all, the Air Force is an unimaginable concept for this era.
After knowing that the devil has a beast that can fly, Roland has been considering air defense matters, but no one can expect the devil to appear so early. As a result, none of the planned desperate defense lines, telephone networks, and new weapons developments have been truly completed.
The first army failed to achieve the results and did not surprise him. The runner rifle was used as a transitional weapon to supplement the dead zone of artillery and machine guns, and to clean the battlefield. It is still easy to use, but its shortcomings are increasingly prominent - limited pressure causes its accuracy is not high, the range is close; if there is no special loading hand, the capacity of five rounds of shells makes the firepower delivered per unit time Very limited, not conducive to individual combat. In addition, the air-to-air shooting has lost its usual stable fulcrum, and it cannot be adjusted by judging the error of the bullet point. The hit rate can be imagined.
It is not impossible to improve this situation in a short period of time. The easiest way is to make changes to the above points.
The phasing out of the wheel rifle and the replacement of the new bolting rifle is a planned matter. Some parts still require Anna processing, so only small-scale equipment Precision shooter team. But with the introduction of a new generation of machine tools, workers are becoming familiar with new manufacturing methods, and can also be processed and assembled without relying on witches. Once the yield rate is guaranteed, it is not a problem to upgrade this part of the production capacity.
However, it is difficult for some strong men to rely on a few rifles for air defense alone, and compared to the runner, although the accuracy and range of the former will increase, the rate of fire will decrease. In addition, the tracer with complicated structure is unbearable for the bullet production line that is running at full capacity. Even if the technical research is started now, it is feared that the evil moon will pass when the mass production can be stabilized.
Therefore, the rifle can only be used as an aid, and the first army needs a targeted air defense weapon.
The advanced fire control route Roland estimated that there was basically no play, and the cover of the barrage became his only choice.
The easiest way to do this is to convert the Mark 1 heavy machine gun into an anti-aircraft machine gun – this is also a historical practice, without the burden of production and logistics. Only by designing a set of high-level dual-purpose brackets and sights, we can obtain certain low-altitude defense capabilities.
He did not use water-cooled casings when designing the Mark One, but a light air-cooled barrel, which was also considered for subsequent renovation.
Heavy machine guns have high firing rate, long range, high power, and short-distance inner ballistics are not obvious. It is just enough to deal with the limited throwing distance. If the devil When attacking the city wall, there were two Mark 1 machine guns that could shoot against the air. Perhaps the results would be completely different.
After the announcement of the meeting, Roland did not immediately return to the office, but went to the mathematics institute first.
This new courtyard is located at the southern end of the Castle District and echoes the chemical laboratory next door. Most of the members are members of the Astrology Association. However, under the aura of the study of the sages, many urban residents who have completed the primary education curriculum have recently entered the work of the mathematics institute, and even more than one or two percent of the recruiters have joined the alchemy association.
