Volume 11, Thunderbolt, Chapter 9, Raid 4
.
I still have to celebrate the Indians' lack of intentions. If it were not an anti-tank mine, but an infantry mine was placed, then not only Liu Zhiwen was not alive, but even Pang Xingguo would be affected by the fragments of the mine. If you say this from this perspective, you should still thank this Indian soldier.
"Stop, I see that I'm almost gone. Let's turn up now. Let's count the weapons and equipment in our hands first." Pang Xingguo looked at Liu Zhiwen and another soldier engineer Liu Meng. Looking at these two subordinates, Pang Xingguo felt a little guilty. If he was a comrade in the same company, then three people would be enough to cause a stir in the Indian army's position. By cooperating with each other, he could even defeat the Indian army more than ten times.
But now, a reporter basically has no combat power, and an engineer can only barely be considered half of the combat power. Now, Pang Xingguo began to miss the arrival of the blocker who fell into the hole in the ground. A heavy firepower player and a blocker, how perfect cooperation! There is nothing we can do now, at least we have to destroy a logistics position in the Indian army!
"A submachine gun, 150 bullet" engineer Liu Meng's weapon equipment
"A semi-automatic rifle, 120 bullet" reporter's weapon equipment
"One light machine gun, 300 bullets" Pang Xingguo's weapons and equipment.
"Okay, I'll climb up first, and then you guys go up again," Pang Xingguo ordered, but this order was interrupted by Liu Zhiwen.
"Squad Leader Pang, I want to go up and check the situation first."
"No, how can you know what? Let you see the situation. If you see that the problem is not a big bucket? Don't mess around!" Pang Xingguo said with a blushing face and thick neck. If the company commander and instructor repeatedly reminded him, he should be more respectful to the reporter, and maybe he would slap him in the face and let him know the interests of Squad Leader Pang.
"Squad Leader Pang, I think your vision doesn't seem to be very good, but I'm different. My naked eyesight is 1.8. In order to observe the enemy situation in a hidden way, I also brought these things. Look." Liu Zhiwen said, then took out a small thing from his pocket and handed it to Pang Xingguo.
"I don't know this thing!" Pang Xingguo looked at it, but he couldn't see the trick. However, engineer Liu Meng recognized it. "This thing is a mini periscope. My friend in the special forces said that he could safely observe the enemy's position. The mirror was made of special paint, so it would not reflect under any circumstances. It could also measure the distance at the same time. It was really a good thing. Reporter Liu had good skills and could actually make this kind of thing. Is there someone in the military department?"
"Hehe, Squad Leader Pang, do you think it's okay? Using this thing requires technology. If ordinary people can't fiddle with it, you'd better let me go. I promise to complete the task!" Liu Zhiwen smiled and quietly took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to Pang Xingguo.
"Go to your place, I won't accept your set, yes, Daqianmen! Where did you get this? Our company commander seems to have only one pack of cigarettes. It was the last time when we made the first-class merit, and the commander rewarded me. I was reluctant to smoke it, so I took it out and smelled it when I was greedy. This is specially provided by Zhongnanhai, how did you get it?"
"Hehe" Liu Zhiwen didn't say anything, which made Pang Xingguo a little confused. Finally, Pang Xingguo stomped his feet and made up his mind.
"Okay, Liu Zhiwen, come first, let's follow you immediately, and then you report the situation to me. Remember, it won't work out the sound."
"Yes, the task will be completed!"
Carefully climbed to the edge of the ditch, Liu Zhiwen slowly poked the lens of the periscope out of the earth surface, and then saw the situation above in the rear mirror. The cannons on the house were majestic on the position. They actually broke into an Indian artillery position. A sense of happiness that could not be suppressed surged throughout their bodies. Liu Zhiwen forced his voice down and said to Pang Xingguo on the left: "Squad leader, we are rich! This is the position of Indian artillery."
Pang Xingguo's face suddenly turned red. He seemed to want to laugh happily, but he forced himself to suppress it. According to his loud voice, laughing like this will not only attract Indians, but may lead to an avalanche. Although it can be considered as completing the raid mission, it is not a good thing to take on himself.
"Look at the terrain of the Indian artillery positions?"
"It's square and the terrain is pretty good." Liu Zhiwen didn't know what Pang Xingguo meant, so his answer was a bit abrupt.
"Go to your mother, not to look at that. Look at the Indians' positions, there are several points of entry and exit, and where their camps are. The most important thing is that their guns are, and this one needs to be clarified."
"Well, I saw that their position was leaning on the cliff, with only one entry and exit point, and the camp was leaning on the side far away from us, but I don't know the model of the artillery, and I think it's such a big artillery."
"Well, how big is the muzzle, or the big pot?" Pang Xingguo estimated that the cannons on such positions were too small and could not be too small, and that would lose the power of suppression, and too large, because they could not be transported at all.
To be cautious, we should confirm it first.
"None of them, I think it's as big as a bowl!"
"Well, is the outer diameter of the bowl so big?"
"Yes, the inner diameter is as big as a cup!"
"Well, among the British equipment, the most likely gun with this caliber is MK2. It is not difficult to confirm that this gun is actually?"
"Does this kind of artillery gun have a large disc? Is the gun mount similar to a bow box?"
"Yes, it's such a strange artillery. Why didn't I see such a territory on our artillery?"
"Emmei is wrong. The circular seat disc and bow box gun mount. When the direction angle is only 8,| is the main shooting method of the 25-pound gun. The seat disc can provide fixed support. The circular seat disc and bow box gun mount can perform 360 circumferential fire, which can quickly deal with surrounding targets. This feature is very useful in mountain warfare, because it is difficult for mountains to form a continuous front line and may be attacked from all directions, so it is very important to quickly maneuver the firepower. The support point anti-tank defense tactics that appeared in World War II (the defense cluster tank line in World War II is configured with multiple depth configurations, strengthening battalions with anti-tank weapons, and the company-level ring support points are composed of side firepower and obstacles to control the gap between many points. Compared with line defense, support point defense can save troops, increase defense depth, and improve defense stability) also requires artillery to be able to perform circumferential fire.
The bow-type box gun mount is a type of closed gun mount (common artillery usually uses open gun mounts), 25 guns. This is the biggest advantage of the 25-pound gun.
However, in Pang Xingguo's eyes, the recognition of this wide robe is very low. In the Chinese military's artillery sequence, it is not impossible to design such a cannon that focuses on defense. However, in the eyes of Chinese artillery, artillery is a weapon of offense. Instead of adding protection to artillery, it is better to add vitality when attacking. If the perfect combination of protection and mobility, artillery cannot be compared with tanks in any case. Since this is the case, why do you still do so much defense?
"Is this kind of anti-rejection device very big? Is the neck of the blaster particularly thick?" Although he asked professionally, Liu Zhiwen still answered it.
"yes!"
"Well, the double-chamber retreat device. Although the British army developed a 9 kg solid armor-piercing projectile of the same caliber for the 25-pound gun. The accuracy of this shell cannot be compared with the sub-caliber armor-piercing projectile fired by the long-barreled cannon, but the solid bomb is very powerful and is enough to destroy German tanks. Due to the use of strong charges, the initial velocity has been increased to 609 meters/sec, and the angle is increased at 365. The original anti-recoil device is unbearable and often damaged, so a double-chamber muzzle retreat device is installed."
"Is the front part of the cannon very big?"
"Yes, I thought it was our carriage. I really didn't expect that Indians still have such rustic cannons!"
"The ridiculous artillery front car. The "Bedford" truck is towed by the 4th gun. The gun uses inflatable rubber tires, which shows that its initial design was mainly designed to consider car traction. However, the gun still retains the front car, that is, it retains the function of using mules and horses to pull under special conditions. The front car is a common device for mules and horses to pull cannons. After the gun stand is combined with the front car, the weight of the cannon is borne by the 4 wheels, which is convenient for the horses to pull. The front car also has the function of storing ammunition and carrying gunners. However, the front car increases the full length of the cannon when marching, which is not conducive to the cannon passing through curves. Modern artillery has cancelled the front car because the tractor can fully bear part of the weight of the cannon, and both ammunition and gunners can be installed in the car."
“What is the quantity?”
"I'll count it, and it seems to be six gates, no, seven gates, yes seven gates!"
"Haha, I understand, 7.6mm Canon howitzer, now we >.Horse, do you have a way to convert that anti-tank mine into a trigger mine?" After getting a definite answer, Pang Xingguo pointed to a place, "Let it go there, and Indian soldiers come over in a while, and it will be a bang."
"Squad leader, why do I think you are a bit like a bad guy? You smile so cunningly!"
"Boy, you thought your squad leader was a waste of food. Learn well. This artillery position may not be a heavy fire support point. If you take this point, India's fire blockade will be one step away. Once the opening is opened, tens of thousands of people can be stuffed in. This is not counting. This side can definitely reach other positions. Once the main force arrives, the artillery fire can take half of the Indians. This contribution is so great. I may even get a special merit, haha!" (
