Φωτοβλίδα ενός Συνταγματικό πυροβόλο των 76 mm M1927, Το συνταγματικό πυροβόλο των 76 χιλιοστών M1927 (ρωσικά: 76-мм полковая пушка обр. 1927 г.) ήταν σοβιετικό πυροβόλο υποστήριξης πεζικού. Το όπλο αναπτύχθηκε το 1927 από το γραφείο σχεδιασμού του Orudiyno-Arsenalny Trest (OAT) και εισήλθε στην παραγωγή το 1928. Συνολικά κατασκευάστηκαν 16.482 κομμάτια. Στις 22 Ιουνίου 1941 ο Κόκκινος Στρατός είχε 4.708 από αυτά τα όπλα. Το 1943 το πυροβόλο αντικαταστάθηκε στην παραγωγή από το συνταγματικό πυροβόλο των 76 χιλιοστών M1943, αλλά παρέμεινε σε υπηρεσία μέχρι το τέλος του πολέμου. Οι Γερμανοί έθεσαν τα αιχμαλωτισμένα πυροβόλα σε υπηρεσία ως 7,62 cm Infanteriekanonehaubitze 290(r) (πυροβόλο πεζικού-οβιδοβόλο), ενώ στον φινλανδικό στρατό ήταν γνωστά ως 76 RK/27.

The Loyal Shadow of the Soviet Infantry
Teh 76 mm Regimental Gun M1927 was a ubiquitous sight on the Eastern Front. Unlike heavy divisional artillery that sat miles behind the lines, the “Polkovushka” (little regimental gun) lived in the trenches with the soldiers. Designed for close-range direct fire support, it was light enough to be pushed by its crew into firing positions to knock out machine-gun nests and bunkers. While its short barrel and low muzzle velocity limited its range, its ability to provide immediate high-explosive punch made it a beloved “accompanying gun” for Red Army rifle and cavalry regiments.

Design Engineering: Simplicity for the Mud
- Low Velocity, High Versatility: Because the gun was intended for short-range support, it didn’t need a massive propellant charge. This allowed for a very light and thin barrel, which kept the overall weight of the weapon low enough for horse teams or even the crew themselves to move it through deep Russian mud.
- The Cartridge Lockout: Interestingly, the M1927 used the same 76.2mm shells as larger divisional guns but with a reduced powder charge. To prevent a crew from accidentally loading a high-power divisional shell (which would have literally exploded the light M1927 barrel), the gun’s chamber had a modified flange that would only accept regimental-specific casings.
- The “Tadpole” Evolution: Early models featured wooden-spoke wheels, but later production runs moved to rubber-tired wheels to allow for faster towing by trucks (GAZ-AA).
- Recoil System: It used a hydraulic recoil buffer and pneumatic recuperator located beneath the barrel, which was quite advanced for a gun that looked so “old-fashioned” with its simple pole-trail carriage.
Combat History: A Jack of All Trades
- Bunker Buster: Its primary mission was “direct fire.” A crew would wheel the gun to within 500 meters of a German pillbox and fire point-blank. At this range, even the low muzzle velocity was enough to collapse field fortifications.
- Emergency Anti-Tank: While not a dedicated AT gun, the M1927 was often the only heavy weapon available to a regiment during a surprise tank attack. In 1942, HEAT (High-Explosive Anti-Tank) rounds were issued, allowing it to penetrate up to 70-100mm of armor, making it a threat to German Panzers at close range.
- In German Hands: The Wehrmacht captured thousands of these guns during the early stages of Operation Barbarossa. They were so impressed by their lightweight utility that they pressed them into service as the 7.62 cm Infanteriekanonenhaubitze 290(r).
- The Tank Version: A modified version of this gun, the KT-28, served as the primary armament for early Soviet tanks like the Τ-28 multi-turreted medium tank and the Τ-35 heavy tank.
