Bright Sword: Starting from the Improved Grenade

Chapter 291 Gyroscope

Yan'an, Tank Factory.

"The Minister has brought the gyro sensor!"

Li Yuncai hurried to the tank holding a wooden box.

"let me see!"

Zhao Tianyang took the box, opened it and took a look at the gyroscope sensor that had just been delivered from the P-2 missile research base.

"No problem, put it on!"

"okay!"

Tian Jinchen took the gyroscope, climbed into the tank swiftly, and began to assemble it.

Two hours later, Tian Jinchen got out of the tank and said, "The Minister is ready!"

"Pull it out for testing!"

Zhao Tianyang waved his hand, and the improved Taihang II tank slowly drove out of the factory and headed towards the training ground.

"Boom, boom, boom... Bang, bang..."

I saw the tank running back and forth in the training ground, firing as it ran.

After a while, the worker in charge of the test jumped off the tank and came to Zhao Tianyang: "Report to the Minister, the test of the new tank is complete!"

"After installing the new gun stabilizer, the tank's first-shot hit rate has been greatly improved, and it can also maintain a good hit rate while moving!"

"Great!"

Zhao Tianyang couldn't help but wave his fist.

The original tank was based on the T54, which is essentially different from the 59.

The T54's gun relies on a one-way stabilizer to stabilize the barrel. When operating the gun to aim and shoot, it relies more on the elevation and steering mechanisms.

Now he added to the tank an elevation and one-way gun stabilizer with a gyroscope and a mechanical computer.

The gyro sensor in this stabilizer can sense changes in the elevation angle of the gun barrel and convert the sensed changes into electrical signals.

After being amplified, the actuator adds a correction force to the artillery, causing it to quickly return to its original position.

In this way, no matter how the tank body moves, the gun barrel always points in the target direction, thereby improving the tank's shooting accuracy and first-shot hit rate while in motion.

"Okay, drive the tank back and install night vision goggles, and we'll have completed the development of a new generation."

"Minister, this tank has just had its stabilizers modified and night vision goggles added. Do we need to change its name?"

At this time Tian Jinchen couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, of course!"

Zhao Tianyang said as a matter of course: "Let's call it the Taihang Type 3 Medium Tank!"

"Three styles?"

Tian Jinchen curled his lips and said, "Okay, then do we need to recall the tanks of the armored division and modify them?"

"Add stabilizers and night vision devices to them?"

Zhao Tianyang thought for a while and said, "Forget it. Send a few people to Baotou to set up a tank repair factory and rebuild their tanks nearby!"

"also."

Tian Jinchen nodded: "This way we don't have to run back and forth!"

"Okay, from now on, just focus on the radar reconnaissance vehicle. I'll be leaving first!"

After leaving the Tank Factory, Zhao Tianyang came to the First Aircraft Factory.

"Mr. Getkoff, how is the research going on with the thing I gave you?"

"Already done!"

Getkov took Zhao Tianyang to the factory that produced helicopter-type rockets and pointed at the two types of missiles placed on the workbench.

"Wire-guided missiles can be equipped on fighter jets. The fighter pilot presses a handle, which transmits a signal to the missile through the copper wire, thereby controlling the missile's left and right translation and up and down pitch."

"The wire is two kilometers long, the missile is 1.9 meters long, 0.5 meters in diameter, weighs 60 kilograms, has a maximum speed of 1150 kilometers per hour, and a range of two kilometers."

"Inertial missile, can be equipped on fighter jets, 3 meters long, 0.3 meters in diameter, weighs 100 kilograms, has a range of 1225 meters, and a maximum speed of kilometers per hour."

“The data is good!”

Zhao Tianyang was very satisfied. With these two missiles, he could solve the problem of their fighter pilots' lack of experience.

Are you good at technology?

Okay... then I won't fight with you. I'll just shoot missiles from a long distance. If you can't hit it by inertia, use wire-guided missiles. There's always one that suits you!

"Thanks to the gyroscope you sent, Minister. Without it, these two missiles would not be possible."

"I really want to meet the person who made this gyroscope," Gotkoff said in an amazed tone. "I have a lot to talk to him about!"

“Haha, there’s a chance!”

Zhao Tianyang smiled strangely.

I wonder if Getkow will still show an expression of admiration like he does now when he finds out that the person who made this gyroscope is a German!

.............

Henan battlefield.

"Baga, these Chinese are so cunning!"

Takahashi came to the Okamura devil and complained: "Commander, the Chinese seem to have seen through our thoughts."

"They transported the disaster victims from Henan to the rear in batches by train!"

"impossible!"

Okamura said flatly: "They can't even guarantee a sound food supply for the troops fighting in Henan."

"Wouldn't it cause even greater unrest if we transported the disaster victims to the rear without giving them food?"

Suddenly, Okamura remembered something: "Did they transport the victims to Shaanxi and Shanxi?"

"this......"

Takahashi replied a little sheepishly: "Sorry, we don't know yet."

"The Eighth Route Army's fighter planes have been patrolling the borders of Shanxi, Henan, and Shaanxi. In order to avoid misunderstanding, our reconnaissance planes have not penetrated deep into the rear of Henan."

"idiot!"

The Okamura devil yelled angrily: "Where is your courage as a warrior of the Empire of Japan?"

Then he changed his tone and said, "You only know how to use reconnaissance planes? What do the Kuomintang officials we have won over do? Go ask them!"

"Hi!"

Takahashi stood up, bowed, and left the room.

Half an hour later, Takahashi, who had found out the situation, ran back.

"The commander has checked and found out that the Kuomintang did transport the disaster victims to Shaanxi and Shanxi."

"I heard from them that all the people in Henan who can't get enough food and whose families have less than 20 mu of land will be counted as disaster victims."

"what!"

The Okamura devil was a little surprised: "Are they planning to bankrupt the Eighth Route Army by relying on the disaster victims?"

"Commander, do you want to stop them?"

Gao Qiao asked tentatively: "As long as we can make the officials we bribed move slower, we can completely rely on the cavalry to hold back the victims."

Hearing this, Okamura stood up from his seat, walked back and forth in the room, stopped after a moment, and said in a deep voice.

"Let them transport it. The Eighth Route Army will have no energy to send troops to fight us before they have dealt with so many disaster victims at once."

Takahashi: "But...there are no disaster victims. What's our plan?"

"Don't worry!"

Okamura waved his hand: "Didn't you notice?"

"The Nationalist troops in Henan don't have much food to eat. As long as we delay long enough, they will be unable to bear it."

"When they can't stand it anymore and want to retreat, that's when we attack."

"Yoshi!"

Gao Qiao admired and said: "The commander is really the ancient Zhuge Liang, with great talent and profound knowledge."
