Umbhishobhi wokufakwa kwezikhali ezizishayelayo
Ukufakwa kwezikhali ezizihambelayo BishopI-Ordnance QF 25-pdr ku-Carrier Valentine 25-pdr Mk 1,
Ibanga eliphezulu lokudubula leprojekithi eqhekeka ngeziqhumane enesisindo esingu-11,34 kg yi-8000 m. Izinhlamvu eziphathwayo zingamagobolondo angama-49. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amagobolondo angama-32 angafakwa ku-trailer. Ukulawula umlilo kuyunithi ezishayelayo, kunethangi le-telescopic ne-artillery panoramic sights. Umlilo ungaqhutshwa kokubili ngomlilo oqondile kanye nezikhundla ezivaliwe. Izibhamu ezizishayelela ngoBhishobhi zazisetshenziswa ezigabeni zezikhali zezigaba ezihlomile, kodwa phakathi nempi zathathelwa indawo izibhamu ezizishayelela i-Sexton.
Ukushesha kwempi eNyakatho Afrika kuholele ekuhlelweni kwe-Howitzer ezishayelayo ehlome ngesibhamu esingu-25-pound QF 25 pounder. Ngo-June 1941, intuthuko yabelwa i-Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company. Isibhamu esizishayelayo esakhiwe lapho sathola igama elisemthethweni elithi Ordnance QF 25-pdr ku-Carrier Valentine 25-pdr Mk 1, kodwa saziwa kangcono ngokuthi uMbhishobhi.
Umbhishobhi usekelwe phezu kwethangi le-Valentine II. Emotweni eyisisekelo, i-turret yathathelwa indawo yikhabethe lohlobo lwebhokisi elingaphenduki elinezicabha ezinkulu ngemuva. Lesi sakhiwo esikhulu sasihlala inganono ye-Howitzer engamakhilogremu angu-25. Ngenxa yalokhu kubekwa kwezikhali eziyinhloko, imoto iphenduke yaba phezulu kakhulu. I-angle ephezulu yokuphakama kwesibhamu yayiyi-15 ° kuphela, okwenza kube nokwenzeka ukudubula ngebanga eliphakeme lama-5800 m (okwakuyisigamu sobubanzi bomlilo obufanayo obungu-25-pounder enguqulweni edonsayo). I-engeli encane yokwehliswa yayingu-5 °, futhi isiqondiso endizeni evundlile sikhawulelwe kumkhakha ongu-8 °. Ngaphezu kwesibhamu esikhulu, imoto ibingase ifakwe isibhamu somshini i-7,7 mm Bren.
Umyalelo wokuqala wanikezwa izibhamu eziyi-100 ezizishayelayo, ezalethwa amasosha ngo-1942. Ngemuva kwalokho kwa-odwa ezinye izimoto ezingu-50, kodwa ngokweminye imibiko, lo myalelo awuzange uqedwe. Umbhishobhi waqala ukubona impi phakathi neMpi Yesibili yase-El Alamein eNyakatho Afrika futhi wayesasebenza ngesikhathi sesigaba sokuqala somkhankaso wase-Italy Wamazwe Ahlangene AseNtshonalanga. Ngenxa yemikhawulo eshiwo ngenhla, ehambisana nesivinini esincane se-Valentine, uMbhishobhi wayevame ukubhekwa njengomshini ongathuthukisiwe. Ukuze ngandlela-thile kuthuthukiswe uhla lokudubula olunganele, izisebenzi zazivame ukwakha izingongolo ezinkulu ezithambekele emkhathizwe - uMbhishobhi, eshayela phezu kodonga olunjalo, wathola enye i-engeli yokuphakama. Esikhundleni sikaMbhishobhi kwafakwa uMphristi we-M7 kanye nezibhamu ezizishayelela i-Sexton ngokushesha nje lapho izinombolo zalaba bamuva zivuma ukushintshwa okunjalo.

Isibhamu esizimelayo sikaMbhishobhi senziwe kusukela ngo-1943 ngesisekelo sethangi le-Valentine light infantry. Esikhundleni se-turret, umbhoshongo omkhulu we-conning ongunxande ovalwe ngokugcwele one-howitzer-cannon engu-87,6-mm wagxunyekwa ku-chassis esele engashintshiwe yethangi. Umbhoshongo we-conning unokuvikela okuqinile kokulwa: ubukhulu bepuleti langaphambili buyi-50,8 mm, amapuleti aseceleni angama-25,4 mm, ubukhulu bepuleti lezikhali eziphahleni buyi-12,7 mm. I-Howitzer efakwe ku-wheelhouse - inganono enezinga lomlilo elingama-rounds angu-5 ngomzuzu ine-engeli eqondile ekhombayo engaba ngu-15 degrees, i-engeli yokuphakama engu-+15 degrees kanye ne-engeli yokwehla engu--7 degrees.
