- "60mm mortar?" Yelena said in shock.
Lin Rui nodded and said, "I observed carefully. Those guys wearing blue-grey military uniforms are the main force in this encirclement operation, and they are mainly concentrated in a few areas. If we can make good use of this cannon, we can cause them There are quite a few casualties. And once these people retreat, the rebel armed forces will not be able to stop Zhao Jianfei and the others."
"There is still a question, how do you plan to use this cannon? We only need to fire a few rounds before we are discovered." Yelena said helplessly.
Lin Rui nodded and said, "So we need to go inside that house. I noticed that more than half of the roof of that house has been blown down. We can place the cannon there, surrounded by remaining walls for cover, and it is forced to The sound produced by the firing of the cannon is not very loud, only the sound of the explosion when it hits the ground is loud. Moreover, this kind of cannon is a straight-firing cannon, so it is difficult for us to be discovered there. However, I need an observer to report the distance and position to me. "
"And you know that our snipers all carry small rangefinders. Measuring distance and wind speed are our strengths." Yelena suddenly smiled and said, "Although a cannon cannot form a barrage attack, if the cannonball landing point is accurate enough, it can It can cause considerable damage to cluster infantry. Maybe this method is really feasible."
Lin Rui nodded and said, "I went over to set it up early. You help Ivan and go in. We can't leave him outside." After saying that, Lin Rui kicked open the door of the nearby building and carried the The mortars went in and were set up on the ruins of the second floor, and Yelena helped Ivan hide there.
This building is located on the edge of the town, very inconspicuous, and most of it has become ruins. The roof was completely destroyed, leaving only four broken walls. A corner of the floor also collapsed, and the exposed steel bars were bent upward. Lin Rui chose a relatively stable position and completed the mortar erection. Yelena hid near the balcony and used telescopes and rangefinders to report the observed enemy data to him.
Since its inception, the mortar has been an effective suppressive weapon that supports and accompanies infantry operations. It is an extremely important conventional weapon for infantry. Although it has a history of hundreds of years, it is not without reason that it quietly occupies a place in the army's equipment amid the competition of various high-tech weapons in modern warfare.
Although this cannon is small, according to the standard configuration, a cannon requires four gunners and a gunner. In some other countries, one more ammunition hand is arranged. However, when combat attrition is severe, a single person can also complete the operation of a single gun. Because this cannon is much simpler to operate than ordinary cannons.
Lin Rui quickly completed the erection of the mortar and nodded to Yelena.
Based on the observation of the enemy, Yelena quickly determines which direction has the greatest enemy firepower, locks it as the key direction, adjusts the data in that direction to the quadrant that is commonly used, and sets the corresponding shooting angle. And returned all the shooting Zhuyuan to Lin Rui.
Lin Rui quickly completed the adjustment of the mortar based on these shooting elements. Then a cannonball was put into the barrel. This kind of gun has a firing pin chamber at the center of the bottom of the firing pin gun tail, and the firing pin is installed in the firing pin chamber. When the mortar shell slides in from the mouth of the barrel, it hits its primer, completing the firing. "Boom!" There was a sound, and the sound of the launch, which was not very loud, seemed low-key among the dense gunfire and explosions on the battlefield. But the explosion when the shell hit the ground was anything but low-key.
This shell landed in the area where armed personnel wearing blue-gray military uniforms gathered. There was a huge explosion, and the damage radius spread to the nearby ten meters. The armed men in blue-grey military uniforms didn't even realize what was going on, and they were immediately knocked upside down by the explosion. The artillery shells used by Lin Rui are anti-personnel high-explosive ammunition with strong explosive power. For infantry without armor protection, it is extremely lethal.
The militants in blue-grey military uniforms encountered a sudden attack and were a little confused for a moment. They fired a few shots at random in the smoke rising from the explosion. They never thought that there was a mortar on the roof of the building in the distance, aiming at them and shooting at them. I thought it was a grenade fired by the mercenaries in the encirclement. So after a few people were killed in the bombing and panicked for a while, they gathered together again.
Through observation again, Yelena calculated the distance and orientation into shooting elements and reported them to Lin Rui again. With a cannonball to try, Lin Rui felt much smoother. Anyway, there are plenty of cannonballs. Just slightly correct the quadrant angle and just aim at one location and just shoot. This Chinese-made 60mm mortar has a maximum theoretical rate of fire of 30 rounds per minute, with an average of one shell every two seconds.
In fact, of course Lin Rui cannot do this. This must be accomplished by a skilled mortar team and multiple gunners working together. A single person can't do it so fast. However, his hand speed is not slow either. Without much correction of position, one minuteShooting twenty rounds is just like playing.
The trouble was for the group of militants in blue-grey military uniforms below. Before they could figure out what was going on, they were hit by a mortar attack all over their faces. Suddenly there were explosions. Their originally relatively tight encirclement and simple defenses were completely destroyed in a round of mortar fire. Most of the militants wearing blue-grey military uniforms began to realize that this was not the mercenaries in the encirclement attacking them.
But who else could it be if they weren¡¯t these mercenaries? This town is completely under the control of the rebel forces. If anyone else tried to rescue these mercenaries, they should have discovered it long ago. And looking at the ferocity of the firepower, it was probably artillery support. Thinking of this, these militants feel a little numb. The reason why they dare to be here is to help this group of rebels fight against the mercenaries of Morningstar Company. The biggest reliance is that the other party's communication server is invaded, causing the other party's communication to be completely paralyzed.
Has their communication been restored? If so, they are likely to use communications systems to call in air support from helicopters. The reason why Morningstar Company has become the uncrowned king in the African mercenary world is precisely because they have advanced communication command and air superiority. If this is really the case, things will be a little difficult to handle.
Lin Rui¡¯s commotion made not only the rebels and the armed personnel in blue and gray military uniforms panic. Even the operations commanders Danny, Zhao Jianfei and others were a little confused. This group of armed elements was originally fighting well, but they were tightening the encirclement step by step. But I don¡¯t know why, explosions suddenly occurred continuously, and they all happened in the most densely populated places. This caused heavy losses to these armed personnel in blue-gray uniforms.
Lin Rui¡¯s mortar attack just now killed and injured many people. Moreover, due to the shock and smoke generated by the explosion, the armed personnel in blue-grey military uniforms were extremely nervous, and even accidentally injured the armed personnel of the rebels in the chaos. Several lives were needlessly sacrificed on both sides.
Lin Rui looked up at Yelena and said, "Why don't you retaliate?"
"The smoke was so thick that I almost couldn't see clearly. However, those shots you fired just now were accurate and hard. They exploded directly in the crowd. I think their losses should be considerable." Yelena leaned against the wall. He took a breath and said, "I must admit, I have never seen such insidious and cunning mortar tactics."
At this moment, a noisy sound of electricity came from Lin Rui's earphones, and he immediately became energetic. It may be that the communication was restored. He immediately connected the communication and said loudly, "Hey, I'm Lin Rui. This is the fixed channel of the UFO team. Are you Boss Zhao? I can't hear you clearly!"
"Lin Rui, how are you? Where are you now?" Zhao Jianfei's voice was still a little blurry, but he could barely hear it clearly. Communication was indeed restored, but I don't know if it was because people from the technical department repaired the system, or if it was another system restart. Afraid that the communication would be interrupted again, Lin Rui did not dare to hesitate and immediately reported the situation on his side. "The situation here is not very good. Ivan and Yelena are both injured."
"Report your location!" Zhao Jianfei shouted, "But we can't save you now, we are still surrounded."
"It's no longer the case. Looking at the entire encirclement, are there any continuous explosions anywhere?" Lin Ru said solemnly, "I will fire a few more shots, and I will make a gap there in a few minutes. You guys You can break out from there!¡±
"Fire? Wait, were you responsible for those continuous explosions just now?" Zhao Jianfei said in surprise.
Lin Rui nodded and said, "I don't have time to explain more now. Just remember, in two minutes, concentrate all your strength to rush to that position. As long as you break through that point, the entire encirclement will be completely defeated. As long as those The guys in blue and gray military uniforms are retreating, and other rebel forces can't stop you at all. I won't say more, I have to hurry up."
Yelena nodded to Lin Rui at the window and said, "Those mysterious militants seem to be a little suspicious, should we continue?"
"Even if they are suspicious, we will still fight. We won't be exposed for a while. And if they slow down, it will become difficult to fight again." Lin Rui shook his head, "Besides, Zhao Jianfei and I have made an appointment It takes time. As long as I give that area enough blows to destroy most of the resistance, he will start to break out from that direction within two minutes."
"Are they ready to break out?" Yelena said in surprise.
"Within two minutes, so we have to speed up." Lin Rui nodded, "Get ready to give me the direction!"
Yelena took a deep breath and continued to report the calculated shooting elements to Lin Rui. Lin Rui completed the last adjustment of the mortar and fired another round of fire without hesitation. Mortar shells were drawn in large arc parabolas, hitting the heads of the militants one after another. The militants were completely beaten and could not hold their heads up, and began to retreat for the first time.
And when they found out that they had retreated, the black rebels simply turned around and ran away with their guns on their shoulders.
