The first thousand two hundred and sixty-six chapters screw propulsion vehicle
"The swamps are quite muddy on both sides of the Dnieper River, and our wheeled infantry fighting vehicles are not suitable for passing through the swamps." Keitel said: "Fortunately, we summarized our combat experience in France in advance and developed new tracked infantry fighting vehicles. Now, those troops equipped with tracked infantry fighting vehicles can keep up with the advance of tank troops."
If you want to fight Smolensk, you also have to cross the Dnieper River or its tributaries. The Soviets carried out large-scale destruction in these basins.
All the bridges were blown up and there were defenses everywhere. The German army could only attack at a weak position. However, the swamps along the Dnieper River were simply the natural enemy of wheeled infantry fighting vehicles.
Germany used wheeled infantry fighting vehicles to reduce procurement costs and facilitate large-scale equipment. In the early days of the war, it quickly mechanized the German army and accompanied the tank troops to charge.
However, in France, the wheeled infantry fighting vehicle was trapped in a swamp while advancing, thus revealing the huge defect of the wheeled infantry fighting vehicle. It cannot advance in the swamp, and the track is the king there.
Cialek nodded: "Yes, the traffic conditions in the Soviet Union are quite bad, and we must be mentally prepared. Of course, there are also plans to improve the maneuverability of our wheeled infantry fighting vehicles. I have notified the relevant departments in advance, and I don't know how they are going."
After saying that, Cialek turned his head and looked at Sperer in charge of equipment. Sperer nodded: "Head of Cialek, the prototype car has been shipped. When you have time, you can go out and have a look."
In fact, this kind of equipment has been shipped for several days, but Cirick is busy observing the battle every day. He will not give too much advice and interfere with the command of the officers on the scene. He only mentions directional strategies such as mobilizing the central army to Kiev.
Now, when hearing that the prototype car had arrived, Cialic was immediately delighted: "Let's go and have a look!"
After leaving the wolf's den, just a few kilometers away from the wolf's den, Cialek saw the unique equipment.
This is improved on wheeled infantry fighting vehicles. It can be said that as long as there are additional accessories, the wheeled infantry fighting vehicles can be improved to what they are now.
And this kind of equipment simply subverts everyone's understanding. Those who see it at first will burst into an exclaim: "What is that? Is that monster?"
All eight thick off-road tires on both sides of the car were removed, but the car did not sit directly on the ground. Two huge screws appeared below it!
The diameter of the screw is at least one and a half meters, and it is pointed in front. The spiral looks as tough as a knife, shining with light. The two large screws on both sides support the car.
From the side, it looks like this kind of infantry fighting vehicle is riding on two large bombs. The front and back of the bombs are connected to the chassis of the infantry fighting vehicle through a thick and powerful steel figure-eight-shaped rack.
At the tail, the original propeller used for paddling in the infantry fighting vehicle was removed and connected with these two large screws through the transmission shaft.
Franz Xavier Reimz, an outstanding engineer at Volkswagen, was excitedly watching the senior officials walking towards him.
"First of Cialek, since we received your hand-drawn sketch, we immediately started researching and found that your idea was really great. We quickly made this spiral propulsion vehicle according to your idea. It only takes a small improvement to be installed on our current wheeled infantry fighting vehicle."
Head of Cialis is simply a genius. Anyone who has contacted Head of Cialis will sincerely sigh, especially in the field of engineering, every idea of Head of Cialis is so admirable.
When ordinary vehicles move forward, they rely on tires. The contact area between the tires and the ground is small and the resistance is small, so they consume less fuel and have fast speed, but their ability to escape on muddy roads is very poor.
The tracked type has good off-road capabilities, but it has high fuel consumption and slow speed.
This spiral propulsion vehicle is a simple and fast method of improvement, and its ability to move on muddy roads is stronger than that of tracked ones. It is naturally prepared for extreme places.
Swamps, ice surfaces, hills, jungles, snow, these places are their stage!
"Go up!" Cialick said to the people around him. Just as the others were stunned, Cialick had already crawled into the infantry fighting vehicle from behind, and then half of his body was exposed from the turret.
The captain of the guard Graf followed him and saw Cyric coming up, everyone else got in.
Francis got into the cab with great enthusiasm and said to the people behind him: "Everyone, now our journey is about to begin!"
"Buzz, buzz." The diesel engine roared, and with the unique buzzing sound of the high-pressure oil pump, Franci hung up the water driving gear, and then slowly released the clutch.
Below, two huge cylindrical screws rotated, and the threads on the screw pushed the soil backwards, and the body of the car began to move forward.
The speed was not very fast, but it was absolutely stable. Kettle, who was sitting behind his vehicle, saw two deep gullies appearing, more than half a meter deep!
The car continued to drive forward and drove all the way into the river. The mud almost flooded the entire screw, but the car was still moving forward steadily.
"The screw under our bottom is hollow and has enough buoyancy. In addition, our car has the ability to float, so this screw car can be driven directly into the river and then cross the river."
Then, the car floated up, and on the water, leaning against the thrust of the screw, began to move forward. The car made a rumble sound, and everyone present had joy in their eyes. It was the time to come!
The swamps in the Dnieper River just happened to adapt to this vehicle, so let the Soviets taste their own secret weapons!
The transformation is simple. Just connect the screw, bracket, and the transmission shaft connected to the propeller, and the transformation is completed. Driving is also simple and there is no need to train.
This was simply tailor-made for a special area like the Soviet Union.
"However, it is not suitable for solid roads. If it is on normal ground, it will quickly smooth the threads and seriously damage the ground." At this time, the car began to drive back, and Francis continued to introduce its shortcomings.
"This is not a problem. When you return to the solid road, continue to replace the tires. You just need a special vehicle to transport these screws." Cialek said.
"First of the People's Republic of China, we still need the same weapon in our army. I wonder if you have any ideas," said Scherner.
