Volume 11, Thunderbolt, Chapter 7, Raid 2

.

The intensity of the battle on the front line had exceeded expectations. After India baptized, Dashras Singh, the commander of the third company of the Indian army, poked his head out of the dust and checked the casualties. Because the terrain of the position was relatively good, 5/4 of them were alive after checking.

"Entitle Nick Ruoshan"

"In...=: a wounded person needs to be dealt with immediately."

"Damn it, don't worry about the wounded. If we don't act quickly, we will be caught by the Chinese or die under the Chinese bullets. You know that the bullets are blind and will not avoid you because you take care of the wounded. I order you to immediately bring a platoon to the ground in front of you about 150 high."

The Chinese warlock sounded around, and Lieutenant Nick Ruoshan stood up, cursed in a low voice and led a row of people to the bulging hill about 150. In the dark night, some black shadows could only be seen moving quickly through some burning trees. Lieutenant Nick Ruoshan could only admire the strength of this army in his heart:

"This army must be China's ace army. You see, they use the dense forests as cover, jump forward alternately, and have extremely fast speeds. Their individual skills are very skilled. From one tree to another, they can always find cover as fast as possible, and they have almost no chance to fire at them."

However, for the sake of shocking the Chinese, Lieutenant Nick Ruoshan still ordered the fire, but in order to save ammunition, the intensity of the fire was limited to the minimum, and the short-spot fire only temporarily prevented the Chinese army from advancing. It seems that it is only a matter of time before the Chinese soldiers want to conquer Lieutenant Nick Ruoshan's position.

Seeing the dilemma of Lieutenant Nick Ruoshan, Lieutenant Anka Dube and Warrant Officer Janham in the 7th Platoon hurriedly brought 15 light machine gun magazines and 2 soldiers to support him. The outpost unit formed side fire at the Chinese army, causing certain casualties, and the charging troops were pressed tightly behind a huge rock.

"Fan Debiao, where are you dead?" Wu Songhai, the company commander of the assault company, began to open his voice and curse loudly. At the critical moment, it would be difficult to suppress the enemy's heavy weapons if the portable artillery could not keep up. The firepower of the Indian army's three heavy machine guns was very expert. One was straight ahead in the middle and two were straight behind in the left and right. In this way, they could support each other without being completely eliminated. If they rushed over like this, they would definitely be defeated by the enemy's cross-fire power. Using human lives to fill in Wu Songhai's combat style has never been.

"Company Commander, here!" Van Debiao gasped and carried a 16-275mm recoilless cannon on his back. This was the world's first practical recoilless cannon. It can be regarded as a major breakthrough in the history of artillery. In 1879, General Deville and others invented the artillery ground counter-recoil re-entry device, which did not eliminate the recoil phenomenon when firing the gun. It only allowed the recoil body to automatically return to its original position. And it also made the gun frame complex structure, increase weight, and reduce mobility.

The world's first cannon that can eliminate recoiling was developed by US Navy Major Davis. Davis's design idea is very unique. He placed two projectiles with opposite ends in a gun barrel with open ends. When firing, the ground was shot forward with real warheads, and the other was thrown backward with fake projectiles - lead-oil-like counterweights, so that their forces were cancelled out, so that the gun fire did not recoil. The projectile was scattered not far behind the gun tail, and the shooter would not be injured if he avoided this dangerous area. The world's first recoilless gun invented in 2004.

There are still many imperfections in the "Davis Cannon" and people have improved and developed it. However, this new artillery attracted the attention of China and invested a lot of money to improve it. In 2018, the China Artillery Bureau cancelled the counterweight body and directly used ground gunpowder gas to spray backwards to balance. In this way, the rear half of the gun barrel that ejected the solid counterweight body was useless, and the barrel of the resilient gun was shortened by half.

After that, the Artillery Manufacturing Bureau made new developments for the resilient gun. It installed a nozzle at the tail of the gun barrel to increase the speed of the gas flowing through the nozzle, thereby reducing the amount of gas emitted. The Chinese Artillery Bureau finally developed a 75.2-meter resilient gun, which is the first resilient gun to formally equip the troops in the world. This Sino-Indian battle was the first practical application of the resilient gun.

Type 16 75mm no recoil/. It consists of a body tube, a gun tail, a bulge latch and a fixed screw ring. The gun tail consists of the body, a latch seat, a nozzle ring, a plug ring and a positioning bolt. The front and rear parts of the body are cylindrical, and the middle is conical. The inside is a conical medicine chamber that accommodates the cannon cartridge. There are threads combined with the body tube in the front cylindrical space, and the rear end has a thread combined with the latch seat. The cross-sectional diameter of the conical medicine chamber is greater than that of the medicine cartridge.

After the shell is loaded, the cartridge is suspended in the medicine room, and there is a gap between the cartridge and the medicine room. After firing, the gunpowder gas in the cartridge is sprayed out through the small hole on the cartridge and then sprayed outward along the gun tail spray hole through this gap. The latch seat is a circular tube with external threads in front and threads in the gun tail body. There is a partition thread and a barrel groove on the partition thread below. There is a latch arm seat at the bottom, and the latch is fixed to the seat through the latch arm seat.

Type 16 75mm without recoil.i50mpa, maximum range of 6500m (killing and explosion grenade), direct firing distance of 400m (killing and explosion grenade), total length of gun body 2.m, body length 1..: m (using wheeled gun mount, the fire line is 550mm high when not equipped with wheels), 45kg, gun mount mass 436kg, gun combat state mass 87kg (52122.56-1 93kg, 56-250kg), emit points, high and low firing boundaries -5~, direction firing boundaries 15 each from left to right (release the direction limiter to rotate 360), 60, length 56m. It is equipped with a slot, direct sighting optical sight. The gun can be carried by 3 or used for animal power and traction by motor vehicles.

In fact, this weapon is not suitable for use on the Sino-Indian border. The 75mm recoil-free cannon equipped by China. Although it has a long range and high accuracy, the gun and ammunition are heavy. In the plateau and mountain hypoxic zone on the Sino-Indian border, soldiers are overloaded.

If you use other artillery, it is basically even more terrifying, and it is also lightest.)

Under this condition. The main improvement of the 6-1 type 75mm recoil-free gun is that it reduces the mass of the gun mount by 43.kg to 32.45kg to 34kg.

The 16-275mm recoil-free gun was put into production in 1968. What should be improved is that the gun mount was redesigned, from a wheeled gun mount to a tripod (total quality >.50kg; mechanical sights were added; and other parts were added to the firing mechanism, which can more conveniently implement shoulder shooting.

In these hypoxic areas, human physical energy is only about half of the flat ground, and the marching speed and weight-bearing ability are half lower. Therefore, ordinary Indian infantry at that time were only required to carry a rifle and bullets. However, Indian soldiers, who were slightly worse in actual combat, were still unable to bear the burden and carried only a 50-round airdrop bullet bag. The weight load of each soldier in the Chinese resilient cannon platoon was as high as 35 kilograms, causing these soldiers to be extremely tired. This is the case, and each platoon can only carry bullets.

Maybe it was due to fatigue. This 75th gun squad, which usually claims to be "Ten Thousands of Ten Thousands", fired at a heavy machine gun at 1,000 meters away. Because the distance measurement is not attacked, accurate distance measurement is very important, especially in the mountains. It is easy to misjudgment). In the end, Wu Songhai could no longer bear this ineffective shooting. After whispering, he shouted to Fan Debiao: "Damn, I'll do you extend shooting immediately. I don't care about how to measure the distance. You must get rid of this position within five minutes."

Then in order to reduce the pressure of the gunner, Wu Songhai jumped up and crawled forward with an explosive bag. In this case, the Indian army would not use heavy machine guns rashly. This was too wasteful of bullets, so most of the Indian army's attention was attracted to Wu Songhai. Rifle bullets flew over Wu Songhai from time to time, but in front of Wu Songhai's agile skills, none of these bullets found the target.

After carefully observing the Indian army's fire trajectory, Fan Debiao finally determined the position of the Indian army's machine gun position and corrected the error of the artillery in the previous few times (it was later found that due to insufficient testing time on the plateau, no defect of the 75mm recoil-free artillery was found. Under low.=, the sight would have a few degrees of error, resulting in inaccurate shooting).

So, after nearly three rounds of missing bullets, the fourth shell hit the Indian army's machine gun position very accurately, and immediately blown the Indian army's machine gun position into ruins. Soon after, the position was occupied by the Chinese army, and the Indian army's company became a prisoner of the Chinese army. When it was ready, it was crushed to death by the collapsed fortifications. Deputy Company Commander Major Ponte tried to concentrate the troops. However, the Chinese army's three attack waves:...) People. The Chinese army's machine gun firepower completely suppressed the Indian army, and Major Ponte was shot into a sieve by the machine gun's fire.

At this time, in the direction of the log bridge, the second platoon was in a tough battle. Subhash: the platoon command post was blown up by a mortar salvo, and it was also the company's kitchen. The shells caused a fire to ignite ghee and flour, and Lieutenant Chandel was burned alive. The fifth platoon of Lieutenant Haral and Lieutenant Jainchangde, who entered the position earlier, attracted the first few khosh and his 6th platoon to take more time to take up their positions. They used rifles to fire some trouble to the Chinese army in the attack. However, the submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles of the Chinese army completely overwhelmed the Indian army in firepower. The Chinese army quickly rushed to the front line and defeated the first few khosh and his 6th platoon after a hand-to-hand battle.

At this time, the second Puti Battalion only had the battalion headquarters, the 1st Company stationed in Bridge No. 4 and some of the 2nd remaining soldiers. The Indian army was in an extremely unfavorable combat environment. The Chinese army successfully interspersed on the night of the 19th not only cut off the Indian army's retreat but also forced them into the desperate situation of a battle with the back. The Kejielang River, which was originally a defensive barrier, has now become an anvil, and the powerful offensive of the Chinese army is an iron hammer. The second Puti Battalion was sandwiched in the middle, and what was waiting for them was self-evident.

By 9:30 am the next morning, [.].: 282, 81 people were injured and captured after being injured, including battalion commander Lieutenant Colonel Rick, 90 surrendered and 60 escaped. The battalion as a system no longer exists, and the gateway of the central defense line of the Indian army was opened.

Liu Zhiwen was not sure about these, and his miserable journey was confirmed at night. When they walked to the ditch, Liu Zhiwen understood why no one had passed by here before, but it was too late. Liu Zhiwen could only beg God to make his luck better.
