BXBX NOVEL Chapter 471: material
Hisoy immediately called Shurka into his office, and then pushed a design drawing in front of Shurka.
Shuerka looked at it, and it should be what Shurka called the "tail-stabilized sabot-piercing projectile", but the appearance is very different from the modern one.
Sure enough, Hisoi said: "Comrade Shulka, this is a new type of armor-piercing projectile that we initially designed according to your idea, but many people think it is unrealistic, because the accuracy will be affected by the bullet rest..."
Shuerka couldn't help laughing: "With such a design, the accuracy will of course be greatly affected!"
It turns out that Sisoy and others designed to surround the entire bullet core in the bullet holder, so the shape looks the same as ordinary shells.
No problem at all, but when the receptacle separates from the core, it tends to block the head of the core and deflect the core belt...and then there will be a situation where the difference is by a thousand miles.
But this does not seem to be surprising. The modern "fin-stabilized sabot-piercing projectile" is evolving and evolving one after another, and finally reaches the most scientific structure.
Shulka thought it simple because he knew what it would look like in the end, while Sisoy and others were completely groping in the dark, even at the stage of theoretical research at this time, and some mistakes are normal.
"Are there any designs other than this?" Hisoy asked suspiciously.
"Why can't the bullet core be longer than the bullet holder?" Shulka picked up the pen next to him and said while drawing on the paper: "The bullet core will be limited in length, and more importantly Like you said, accuracy suffers a lot. If the core grows out of the receptacle, like this..."
Shulka pushed the drawn picture in front of Sisoi with three strokes and two strokes. Hisoy's eyes were wide open, and he held the blueprint like a treasure and praised: "Very good method, Shulka, You are a genius! We should have transferred you long ago!"
"Also!" Shulka added: "The length-to-diameter ratio of the bullet core should preferably be 20 to 1. After making it, we'd better put a thin layer of copper hoop on the outside of the bullet holder!"
"Thin copper hoop?"
"Yes!" said Shulka, "so that it will not split in half before use, and when the shell is fired from the bore, the friction between the shell and the barrel will wear down the copper hoop. Drop, and then...after the gun is ejected, the bullet holder will automatically fall off under the action of resistance!"
"Great, Shulka!" Hisoy nodded again and again: "These ideas are really great! I can literally see them as they are produced!"
Some things are not difficult at all if you know their structure.
The point is, when they first came out no one knew what their most scientific and logical structure was.
This requires long-term experiments and even the price of blood and life to improve step by step.
What Shulka did was to omit the intermediate process.
For the new task of making rifle parts, Major Mikhailevich showed some dissatisfaction.
"We are combat troops!" Major Mikhailvich complained: "But now they are being used as workers here. One day, when we go to the battlefield, we will not be able to use these skills to defeat the enemy!"
"Comrade Major!" Shulka piled a bunch of documents on Major Mikhailvich's desk and said, "I think we should take a look at this!"
"What is this?" Mikhailvich looked at Shulka suspiciously.
"The city map of Stalingrad!" Shulka said: "There is also a map of the city and its sewers!"
These materials were obtained by Shulka through Kalashnikov... As Shulka, he has no permission to use these materials, because they are military secrets during wartime.
"What do we want this for?"
"Training!" Shulka replied lightly.
Mikhailvich spread his hands, waiting for Shulka's further explanation.
"Let's put it this way!" Shulka had already thought of an excuse, of course, it was just an excuse.
"We definitely don't have an advantage when facing the enemy in the field!" Shulka said: "This is determined by the fact that we have no equipment and insufficient ammunition!"
Mikhailvich nodded in agreement.
"But urban warfare is not necessarily!" Shulka continued: "We all know that once urban warfare becomes intense, the collapsed buildings will become obstacles for enemy tanks, and the enemy's artillery and air force will not be able to find each building. The target, when the time comes, the enemy can only use infantry to fight us. Simply put, both the enemy and us are lightly equipped!"
Mikhailvich nodded again.
"The problem is that we don't know that we will face the enemy in the city in the future!" Andrianka interrupted.
"We really don't know!" Shulka replied, "But why weren't we prepared?"
After being silent for a while, Mikhailvich said: "Shuerka is right. With our current equipment, no matter how we train in field combat, we will be dead if we go to the battlefield in the future. Training in combat is almost pointless. But if it's urban warfare...there's a fight, and it's possible to win. So, why not?"
"Yes, why not?" Shulka said.
Mikhailvich's analysis made sense, so Andrianka nodded in agreement.
It's just that Andrianka's enthusiasm is not very high, because he thinks that even so, these trainings may be in vain... urban street fighting training, there are not many that can be encountered in actual combat, and there is a considerable difference in whether it can be effective. The element of luck.
What they didn't know was that Shulka had a target in mind. He knew that in a few months' time, there would be an unprecedented brutal street battle in Stalingrad, where they were located.
On the other hand, Shulka was confident that he could keep the 82nd Infantry Regiment in Stalingrad.
This is mainly because the 82nd Infantry Regiment is the Bryansk Front Army and is still being reorganized.
At the same time, the production of rifle parts is in short supply during wartime. If cannon fodder units like the 82nd Infantry Regiment can play a role in producing parts in the rear, why not do it?
Then, the 82nd Infantry Regiment just had to wait, waiting for the day when the Germans hit Stalingrad.
At that time, even if the 82nd Infantry Regiment does not want to fight this battle, they will be organized by the Soviet army to become part of Stalin's defense battle.
For a unit like a punishment battalion, if you want to turn around, you must fight a big and beautiful battle.
This battle is the Battle of Stalingrad.
