Chapter 933 The First Meeting of the "Storm" Rocket Launch (1)
How could Liu Lang enjoy such a tribute alone?
Let the orderly Mikawar call all the school-level officers and above in the regiment as quickly as possible. If this rocket launcher has more than half of the power in time and space, the main artillery of the Independent Regiment will be established. Not only will the artillery tactics change, but the infantry tactics will also be changed accordingly. It is also time for these military chiefs to see the Independent Regiment's killer weapon.
It is okay to cooperate with mountain cannons, but if you play with rocket launchers, those who don’t know the power of rocket launchers will be blown into pieces by their own rocket launchers.
The rocket launcher test ground is actually an artillery training ground, mainly used for artillery training. It will only be delivered to Su Xiaomei and others for use when they need to test it.
However, unlike artillery training, once a rocket launcher, which needs to be tested, is generally reported two days in advance, and the security department will then conduct a check on five kilometers away from the training ground. After two years, the surrounding mountain citizens have become accustomed to it and will basically not be within five kilometers of the artillery training ground. For this reason, the Independent Regiment has also provided certain economic compensation to the surrounding mountain citizens.
There were also spies who tried to inquire about the artillery training ground of the Independent Regiment through mountain people, so as to analyze what artillery the Independent Regiment usually uses for training. However, mountain people who had been held meetings by retired veterans in the village to educate them specifically were also wary of it. Once this issue was involved, armed militias with a number of as many as a dozen or twenty people would often be surrounded. In the past two years, at least six or seven groups of spies were arrested and thrown into the iron ore and became free labor.
The mountain people also received a lot of rewards for this. They not only reported secretly but also learned to dig their own pits and hook up with people from other people to ask similar questions, but they were more spies than spies.
But they did it so well. By the second half of the year, such "good things" had completely disappeared, which made the mountain people look forward to it. I guess whether it was from the Kingdom or the Black Hawk Empire, they were all scared by these mountain people. They were completely selling spies as fat sheep!
Anyway, the Independent Regiment is just equipped with some mountain cannons and mortars. Could it be that they can also be equipped with 150 heavy artillery? It’s even though they weigh several tons, they need to have cars to pull them.
To be honest, both parties believe that the simple Sanbongzi used for agriculture are not very practical. If you want to be flexible, you can use a motorcycle; if you want to carry a large load, you can use a truck; Sanbongzi, a product between the two, is not very effective, it is not cheap and it costs fuel, which means that it can be used to pull a few people to run away in peacetime.
However, the Security Department of the Independent Regiment would not take this lightly. After receiving the notice of testing the new artillery, it quickly sent a large number of people to conduct a comprehensive search around the training ground. It even seconded the special brigade, which was still waiting for the new equipment to go out for help.
It was not until more than an hour later that a group of people who were already impatient received the news of safety ahead and set off with two tightly covered three-bouncers.
The launch site was in a small valley, eight kilometers away from the shooting range of the artillery training ground. Seeing this posture, Liu Lang felt a little relieved. As long as the range could reach eight kilometers, it was not as good as the range of the heavy artillery of the Black Hawk Imperial Army, but it was enough to deal with the mountain cannon with a range of only seven kilometers of the Black Hawk Imperial Army. It would never be passively beaten because of its close range, which basically met his expectations for rocket launchers.
Even if you encounter the Black Hawk Imperial Army's 150 heavy artillery, the rocket launcher weighing more than 600 kilograms in combat is not without the ability to counterattack. The powerful maneuverability will definitely allow those big guys who are rarely moved after letting go.
When the tarp was pulled open, the real body of the twelve rocket launchers appeared in front of all the school officials of the Independent Regiment for the first time.
"My goodness, you are going to use the cannon as a machine gun!" The artillery battalion commander Zhao Ergou's mouth has not been closed since then.
The unprecedented gun body structure directly made the school officials who did not know the existence of this weapon collectively lose their voice. It was really just like Zhao Ergou's guy just now. It looked like a machine gun or a twelve thick gun barrel machine guns. Just from the appearance, it was really not too awesome.
But, is that possible?
"Battleman Zhao, do you know what Storm is? The Storm rocket launcher we designed is to sweep all the enemies like Storm." Su Xiaomei looked so arrogant that she couldn't hide it.
"Battleman Zhao, this is not a machine gun, it is called a rocket launcher, and rocket launcher is not a new thing. It has not appeared in human history. The ancestors of our kingdom have been playing this thing since the Song Dynasty, and by the Ming Dynasty, they even reached the peak of ancient rocket launchers. However, we missed the best opportunity to carry forward the gunpowder, and let foreigners come to our front, we lag behind, so we have been bullied repeatedly in the past century." Li Shi, who was standing by, gave popular science to these shocked school officials.
"Have you ever played with the sky-storm cannon? You can click the sky-storm cannon at one time, it's almost the same thing." Captain Liu directly explained to his men with the most concise truth.
The school officials nodded one after another. Compared with Professor Li's sigh of Song and Ming dynasties, Captain Liu's explanation was obviously more down-to-earth.
However, it is a bit too evil to hit 8,000 meters away! Moreover, can the "climbing cannon" be so accurate? Although I don't read many books, as a soldier who has experienced a lot of battle, the school officials quickly caught the two key points of the main range and accuracy of rocket launchers.
Without these two points, rocket launchers are useless even if they can shoot more shells at one time.
As the head of the artillery battalion, although Zhao Ergou was eager for new artillery, he still asked: "Professor Li, can this thing really hit 8,000 meters? It's almost as good as the treasure of my artillery battalion."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Although there is no particular question about the range of the rocket launcher, it also expresses his distrust. It is mainly because Captain Liu used "sky-sky cannon" as an example and makes people feel shadowy.
"Capital Commander Zhao, didn't you bring your camp treasure over to compare it together! You can first fire the twelve guns to see how much fried noodles you cover, and then look at our scientific research results." Su Xiaomei's cheeks bulged cutely and said with some anger.
The artillery battalion two Bofos mountain guns, one of which was pulled to the teaching team for training, and the other was still at the base. They were just ordered by Liu Lang to be the opponent of the new rocket launcher, comparing the range and accuracy of the bullet point.
Zhao Ergou stopped asking, turned around and directed an artillery squad carefully selected by his subordinates to aim at the shooting area prepared for them. The telescope specially set up showed it very clearly. The mountain where the blue chess was already battered by shells was the target of the Bofos mountain cannon.
Commander Liu obviously attached great importance to this new artillery test. He specially approved 18 Bofos Mountain Bofos for live ammunition drills in one go. The artillery squad under his command is going to be very satisfied today. You know, the purchase unit price of a Bofos Mountain Bofos is as high as 80 silver coins. The live ammunition training of the artillery battalion is not so luxurious. It would be good if a artillery squad can shoot 18 rounds a year.
"Boom Boom" As the artillery squad soldiers used professional artillery rangefinders to report data and adjust the muzzle, the Bofos mountain cannon fired a deafening roar amid Zhao Ergou's command, and used a cannon to cover the shooting area.
The officers observing from the telescope nodded one after another, especially the infantry battalion commanders led by Ling Hong, who gave Zhao Ergou a few thumbs up. Although Ergou Battalion Commander was not very reliable in normal times, he was still very strong in his professional field. The smoke columns that kept rising in the telescope showed that except for the three guns tested in the firing area, the other ten guns all hit the target completely. With such artillery soldiers supporting them in the rear, their infantry were of course much more at ease.
Liu Lang also nodded slightly. Judging from the performance of this artillery squad, the huge investment in the artillery battalion over the years was obviously not in vain.
Artillery, the god of war, is really a money-spending ancestor. It is not like filming a TV series. Wherever the cannon is, the shells are loaded, and the little red flag is waved down, the enemy will be wiped out. If the cannon is accurately shot, the artillery observer must not only be at a high level, but also the artillery that operates the cannon can adjust the muzzle accurately according to the observer's data. The error of a millimeter, or the landing point of the shell is a few hundred meters. And then, more live ammunition training is required.
The unit price of a Bofoss mountain artillery shell is as high as 80 silver coins. The lowest live-fire training volume of an artillery squad in a year is twenty, and a nine artillery squad in an artillery company is one hundred and eighty. Zhao Ergou's artillery battalion has three artillery companies, and the basic training volume is as high as 540.
This is not counting. Because part of the artillery battalion was divided into the base garrison battalion, the artillery battalion was replenished with a group of new recruits, and the training volume increased significantly. This year alone, the various artillery shells consumed by the artillery battalion were as high as 80,000 silver coins. In addition, the newly established artillery troops of the base garrison battalion, the expenditure of the Independent Regiment in artillery training in one year would definitely make all other troops, including the Central Army ordnance divisions, desperate.
Because no one has the ability to make money abroad crazy.
Now it seems that of course it is worth it. Having a high-quality artillery can improve the combat effectiveness of infantry by several levels. If the Black Hawk Empire had not been supported by mountain cannons and heavy artillery, no matter how strong their infantry combat effectiveness was, they would not have been able to survive in the kingdom for eight years.
Su Xiaoniu put down the telescope in her hand and bent a curve slightly. Although the Bofos mountain cannon, known as the most powerful mountain cannon in the kingdom, fired at 25 rounds per minute, in order to pursue the accuracy of the shelling, the artillery squad under Zhao Ergou took 2 minutes to kill thirteen rounds of shells, and there were five rounds of them. It was estimated that they were reluctant to let them go and were left quietly.
The fight was very accurate, and the power was quite evident from the explosion of smoke and dust.
