NOVEL NEXT Chapter 273
Yokosuka Naval Base.
Located on the east coast of the entrance to Tokyo Bay on the island of Honshu, Yokosuka Port is connected to Yokohama City in the north and borders the east coast of Yokosuka City in the south.
The port has unique conditions in terms of berthing facilities, ship repair capabilities, fuel and ammunition storage equipment, and personnel rest facilities. It has all the conditions required for a naval base and is known as the No. 1 military port in the East.
The port has wide waters (the waterline area is more than 30 square kilometers), deep water and slow flow, and no dredging is required. It is one of the few natural harbors in Japan.
When Japan surrendered in 1945, the United States landed in Yokosuka on August 26 of the same year and took over the base. In 1947, it successively established a ship repair department, a supply station and a port department.
As the only port outside the United States with the function of an aircraft carrier home port, the Yokosuka naval facility has excellent personnel and facilities and is a very important base for the US military.
If this place is unusable, the US military must spend half a month to a month to move to Pearl Harbor in Hawaii or even the United States to repair it.
This is one of the important reasons why the United States repaired the military port as soon as possible after the bombing.
After more than a year of repair, the Yokosuka Naval Base has been restored to its original state.
And five underground launch silos have been built, which can launch five missiles at the same time
“Report, General Ridgway, the missiles have been fully assembled and are ready to launch.……”
Ridgway:”Okay, input the missile’s position immediately and correct its flight trajectory… Carefully check all preparations before launching… Make sure everything is foolproof!”
“Yes, General, by the way, when do we launch?”
“October 1st at 10:00 AM……”
Ridgway showed a strange smile.
At this time, the military parade was at its climax, and a missile was coming… Just thinking about it made me excited.
Ridgway:”For the fifth anniversary of the rabbit, we don’t have anything good to give them, so we will give them five missiles… The rabbit will definitely be very happy!”
SM-The SM- 65 intercontinental missile is 25.146 meters long, 3.048 meters in diameter, weighs 14,484.096 kilograms, has a range of 14,484.095 kilometers, and a flight speed of Mach 3.
The distance between Yokosuka Naval Base and the rabbit is only more than a thousand kilometers. With such a long range and high speed…
As long as the SM-65 intercontinental missile is successfully launched, the rabbit can’t stop it at all!
Ridgway:”From now on, the Yokosuka Naval Base will enter the first level of alert. No one is allowed to approach the base without my order.……”
“Yes, General!”
……
101 Arsenal.
With the efforts of Jiang Chen and the Arsenal team, the Wing Loong UAV was soon manufactured.
“Wing Loong-2 is a medium-altitude, long-flight, integrated reconnaissance/strike multi-purpose UAV system with a maximum flight altitude of 9,000 meters, a maximum flight speed of 370 kilometers per hour, a maximum take-off weight of 4.2 tons, an external hanging capacity of 480 kilograms, and a maximum endurance of 20 hours.
It can carry a variety of mission payloads, including optoelectronic detection pods, synthetic aperture radars, communication reconnaissance equipment, electronic warfare equipment, etc.
It can also carry a variety of air-to-ground precision strike weapons, including two anti-tank missiles, AG-300M and AG-300L.
AG-300M is a large semi-active laser-guided air-to-ground missile with a maximum range of 18 kilometers, which enables the”Wing Loong-2″ to launch attacks beyond the range of field air defense artillery equipment, improving the safety of the drone.
Jiang Chen believes that the appearance of the Wing Loong 2 drone during the military parade will surely shock the audience.
Zhao Tianming:”Jiang Chen, the first batch of Wing Loong drones produced a total of 58… The Sixth Master bomber has also undergone a series of upgrades according to your requirements. The Seventh Master is currently the latest, so it has not been upgraded.……”
“The U2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft and B2 strategic bombers have been handed over to the Air Force!”
For this grand military parade, Jiang Chen provided various advanced weapons in accordance with the requirements of the commander-in-chief and the navy, army, air force, rocket force, and strategic support force.
Jiang Chen looked at the report list and nodded:”Well, what about the army?”
“We have produced 40 new ZTZ-96 main battle tanks……”
ZTZ-The Type 96 main battle tank is a second-generation tank, the second-in-command of the Rabbit Tank, and the combat ceiling of the second-generation tank, which can be called a quasi-third-generation tank.
The tank has a crew of 3 people, a combat weight of about 41.5 tons, and uses a 1,000-horsepower V-type water-cooled turbocharged diesel engine. The maximum highway speed is 57 kilometers per hour and the maximum highway range is 450 kilometers.
The main battle weapon is a 48-caliber 125mm smoothbore gun with a five-section multi-layer lightweight alloy structure air-gap thermal jacket and a low-pressure induced gun barrel smoke extraction device on the barrel.
At the same time, a reliable automatic loader is installed with a combat rate of fire of 8 rounds per minute.
Its ammunition base is 40 rounds. In addition to tail-fin armor-piercing shells and multi-purpose anti-personnel grenades, it can also launch new tungsten alloy tail-stabilized armor-piercing shells.
In addition, the tank is also equipped with a domestic laser-guided artillery shell launching system.
The auxiliary weapons are a 12.7mm dual-purpose machine gun with 500 rounds of ammunition and a coaxial machine gun with 2,250 rounds of ammunition.
The main battle tank uses a downward-reflecting stabilized fire control system and a second-generation image-enhanced sight.
In an emergency, the commander can surpass the gunner to adjust the gun and shoot, greatly shortening the tank’s reaction time.
The body is welded from new domestic armored steel plates, with new composite armor on the front and top, and 8mm detachable multi-layer cloth-clad rubber shielding skirts on both sides.
If necessary, additional armor or reactive armor can be installed on the front and turret to further improve the protection capability. (To read the novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Moreover, the body of the main battle tank is sprayed with a wide-spectrum camouflage coating that is resistant to visible light, near-infrared, far-infrared and millimeter-wave detection, and has a certain low-detection camouflage function.
In addition, there are 6 smoke launchers on each side of the tank turret, 4 on the inside and 2 on the outside. There is also a full set of submersible equipment at the rear of the turret, and 2 200-liter additional oil drums at the rear of the vehicle body to improve the endurance of field operations.
All indicators such as firepower, fire control system, night combat capability and protection performance are top-notch.
At least it is top-notch in this era.
Zhao Tianming continued:”In addition, we have comprehensively upgraded the infantry warfare (during the Korean War, it was almost all anti-aircraft guns plus a pickup truck, or Gatling), and named it the Type 97 Infantry Fighting Vehicle (produced on September 7, 1953, named Type 97)……”
The Type 97 has a crew and passenger configuration of 12 people, and a combat weight of 20,000 kg.
Its maximum speed can reach 70 kilometers per hour, and its maximum range is as high as 600 kilometers.
Such mobility makes it like a fish in water on the battlefield, with ease. The roof of the rear passenger compartment of the turret on the roof tilts backward and downward, like an eagle ready to take off, giving people a strong sense of movement.
The sides of the vehicle body are straight, changing the usual inward tilt style, giving people a sense of stability and firmness.
It can provide powerful firepower and protection for infantry units, and also has the ability to maneuver at high speed and transfer quickly.
At the same time, it also uses an advanced shooting control system and fire control system, which can achieve precise strikes on ground and air targets.
In addition, the tank also has the characteristics of all-weather combat capability and strong protection capability, providing powerful firepower and protection for the rabbit’s infantry units.
Jiang Chen exchanged both the Type 96 main battle tank and the Type 97 infantry fighting vehicle using system points.
Zhao Tianming continued:”.～As for rifles, we have fully upgraded to Type 81 automatic rifles… and have delivered them all to the army.……”
Jiang Chen nodded:”Okay, this military parade must let the whole world see the power of the East!”
“Get ready and come with me to Beijing to witness this historic moment together!”
“Okay!”
As the two were about to leave, Yang Siruo walked in quickly and said,”Jiang Chen, Mr. Guo just sent someone to deliver the satellite photos. Take a look at them.……”
“What kind of photo?……”Jiang Chen took the photo and looked at it.
The photo was indeed a bird’s-eye view of the Yokosuka Naval Eagle Sauce Base.
Yang Siruo explained,”Guo Lao said that he thought this kind of photo was weird, and that all the bases of the Jiaobenji were bombed by us, but after satellite reconnaissance, it was found that only the Yokosuka Naval Eagle Sauce Base was under construction… Guo Lao thought it was weird, so he showed it to you.……”
Jiang Chen looked at the five round holes in the photo (the diameter of the SM-65 intercontinental missile is 3.048, so the diameter of the launch silo must be 6 meters. The six-meter iron cover can be seen clearly on the satellite!), his expression was a little surprised, and even his breathing became rapid.
Zhao Tianming and Yang Siruo were still discussing
“Perhaps, Yokosuka Naval Base is very important to the Americans?”
“Maybe!” Yang Siruo looked at Jiang Chen:”What’s wrong with you? Is there something wrong with the photo?”
“This is a missile silo.……”
As a time traveler, Jiang Chen naturally knew what a launch silo was!
“What is a silo?”
“Simply put, the missile is installed underground and launched to avoid satellite detection.……”[]
“What?” Zhao Tianming and Yang Siruo were shocked!
“Hurry, get ready, we have to rush to the capital to tell the commander-in-chief this news……”
Afterwards, the group quickly boarded a special plane to Beijing.……
