During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the Soviet Union not only provided China with a large number of loans and equipment, but also sent pilot units to fight in Korea, which played a crucial role in the final victory of our army.
In the ** of the Soviet Support Volunteers,The most famous and powerful is the "Katyusha" artilleryIn the past, our army used Katyusha artillery and other artillery to bomb the US positions, and after a salvo, only two people remained in the US positions.
Rocket artillery salvo.
However, this does not mean that the "Katyusha" artillery is the only trump card of our army, our army is well aware of the importance of equipment in previous operations, although the starting point of our army is low, but through the close pursuit of technical personnel, our country has also mastered a considerable amount of research technology.
In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the volunteer soldiers came up with a domestic "secret **".After suffering a round of bombing by our army, the US troops were "blown up," and for a time they thought that the volunteers had brought the "Katyusha" rocket artillery back to the battlefield.
Early rocket artillery of the PLA.
In fact, after the Second Opium War, there was a sober and wise Qing Dynasty that realized the importance of setting up military enterprises, and after the completion of the Shanghai Manufacturing Bureau, China had the first large-scale modern arsenal, and more and more arsenals began to appear.
However, before the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the technical level of these arsenals was very low, the quality was not good, and a large number of raw materials were imported from abroad.
* The political situation in China was chaotic, the warlords were fighting, and the military industry could not get development space and development funds, although it was more professional than the military manufacturing industry during the Qing Dynasty, but there was no breakthrough in technology and system.
Arsenal. It was not until the later stage of the Anti-Japanese War that our factory was able to independently produce guns and artillery that met the standards of use in all aspects
Countries that do not have the ability to develop mature, advanced, and superior performance can only be passively beaten, so China has been investing great attention and effort in the field of domestic research and development.
Through the unremitting efforts of the people, during the War of Liberation, China already had a large number of arsenals, and the various types of arsenals developed by these factories further enhanced the combat effectiveness of our army, and the military merit medals of victory also had a share of these arsenals.
The technicians of these arsenals are well awareWhether it is the first research and development or the development of the military industry, we cannot rush to achieve success, otherwise the result is likely to be contrary to your expectations.
Strive to be safe experts in the daily research step by step accumulation of technology, seize all the opportunities to learn Xi foreign development technology, and after the analysis to seek innovative methods, in the down-to-earth unremitting exploration, experts really through mature technical achievements to develop a rocket artilleryType A3 102-mm rocket launcher
Workers in the arsenal.
After accepting the task of developing rocket artillery issued by the state, our army experts and the No. 52 Military Factory cooperated in the development of domestic rocket artillery, and the A3 102-mm rocket launcher was successfully developed and mass-produced.
Rocket artillery mainly relies on the thrust provided by the internal engine to launch rockets to strike at the enemy, A3 rocket artilleryThe internal structure is simple, the engine is not prone to failure problems, has strong reliability, and is an A3 rocket launcher on the actual battlefieldAbility to be flexibleIf it needs to be repaired, thenIt can be dismantled and repaired with simple operation, in the war-torn and dangerous battlefield, the advantage is outstanding.
PLA rocket artillery units.
The A3 102mm rocket launcher is divided into Type 505 rocket artillery and Type 506 rocket artillery, the former uses riveted artillery mounts and the latter uses American M3 M3A1 anti-aircraft artillery artillery mounts, which can hit targets located 5 kilometers away.
The A3 102mm rocket launcher has a strong one-time strike power, and the launch interval can be compressed in a very short time, and the firepower is strong, which is very suitable for suppressing enemy fire.
Rocket artillery fire.
The center line of the rocket used in this rocket artillery can be deflected slightly, using gas propulsion and rotation, and at the critical juncture, a whole row of rockets can even be lined up on the ground and then directly ignited for launch.
However, rockets fired in this way will naturally sacrifice part of the strike range, it is better to strike within one kilometer of the enemy, and the ignition personnel should also be careful not to be burned by the "exhaust" produced by the rocket launch.
Volunteer rocket artillery positions.
The 102-mm rocket launcher is not only not limited by the way it can be used, but also can adapt to a variety of battlefield terrainsIt doesn't matter if it's flatland, high mountains, jungles, or the GobiAfter it was mass-produced, our army immediately transported it to the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea to deal with the US army.
Although the 102 mm rocket artillery belonged to the "budding new" in the domestic ** family, the gap between the volunteer army and the US military equipment at that time was too large, and it could not only rely on the Soviet-style ** assisted by the Soviet Union to fight, so the 39th Army of our army was equipped with nine 102 mm rockets in the rocket artillery battalion and used themBattle of UnsanMiddle.
Volunteer rocket artillery firing.
Since it is a mountainous operation, the excellent mobility of the A3 102mm rocket launcher comes into playThe total weight is light, and it can be quickly disassembled and assembled, which the fighters can disassemble into individual parts and transport to the front line, and the rocket launcher is usedThe weight of a single shell does not exceed 20 kg, with the transportation capacity of our army at that time, it was able to quickly send a sufficient number of rockets to the battlefield.
Type A3 102 mm rocket.
Everything was ready, with the commander's order, the US military position was covered by strong firepower, the US army did not expect that the volunteer army, which has not been superior in firepower, could move out this kind of big killing weapon that can blow itself up, except for guessing that it was the "Katyusha" rocket artillery that ended, it could only be considered that this was a new type of "secret **" invited by our army.
In the subsequent battles, our army was most of the timeThe A3 102-mm rocket launcher was used with the Katyusha rocket launcherThis highly mobile rocket artillery has won many advantages for our army on the battlefield with a harsh combat environment.
Volunteer soldiers.
After the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, it was improved on the basis of the A3 102mm rocket artilleryType 63 107 mm rocketArtillery, which was still active on the battlefields of the Vietnam War and the Afghan War.
China has not stopped upgrading it, and has also successfully developed the No. 107 rocket phosphorus and aluminum incendiary bomb, which is used with this domestic rocket launcher, which has more battlefield adaptability and strike strength.
