- Crazy Horse and Snake Eyes began to change their route, and the others followed them. Landmines are very suitable for use in jungle areas, because vegetation causes insufficient light, and the fallen leaves in the forest can easily obscure the traces of the mines. This makes this already concealed weapon even more concealed and dangerous. This caused certain problems with their traveling speed.
From the appearance, the M18 mine is just an unattractive green plastic box. The aiming hole is located above the mine shell. On both sides of the aiming hole are detonation chambers and equipped with moisture-proof plugs. In order to facilitate the layout, two pairs of scissor-shaped simple brackets are installed under the thunder shell.
The really fierce thing about this thing is the 700 small steel balls contained in the box. According to the records of the US Army's "Landmine Field Manual" (FM23-23), the explosion damage range of the M18A1 includes 50 meters in front, spreading in a 60-degree wide-angle fan-shaped range; and the height is 2 to 2.4 meters. The longest range of its steel balls can even reach 250 meters, including a moderate damage range of about 100 meters.
Because of its superior performance, the US military gave this mine the nickname claymore, which means Scottish double-edged machete, so it is also called a broadsword or a broadsword mine. The m18a1 landmine has been welcomed by the US military since it was equipped with the troops, and has also been provided to its allies in large quantities. Until now, it is still an indispensable weapon in the NATO military equipment sequence.
But the most terrible thing is not this, but the arrangement of the mines. Because although general landmines are powerful, their triggering systems are very sensitive. But there are certain rules for the arrangement of mines. According to the minelaying specifications of the US military, minefields are generally laid out according to the triangular method or the straight line method. When laying out according to the front method, it is usually set up as a trip mine, and each group has 3 trip mines arranged in a triangle. The entire minefield consists of multiple mine groups. For example, when setting up according to the straight-line method, pressure mines are generally used and laid out in rows. 1 to 4 mines are set up in each row, and the distance between them is about 1.8 meters.
However, the deployment of m18a1 broadsword anti-infantry directional mines is more flexible: it can be deployed on the front of the position to kill the attacking enemy frontally; it can also be deployed on the side of the position to attack the enemy's flanks; such a deployment method can ensure that other areas are covered A blind spot that cannot be covered by infantry weapons.
In other words, there is no fixed routine. If it is other types of landmines, veterans like Crazy Horse will usually predict some mine laying patterns based on the range that the fragments can cover after discovering one. But Kuo Jian Lei is different.
The arrangement of this m18a1 directional mine is often eclectic, and it is even used as a booby trap tied to a tree. Some knockoffs made in the former Soviet Union are even equipped with special clamps to tie them to the tree. This undoubtedly made it more difficult for them to break through the minefield.
After advancing about twenty meters, Crazy Horse and Snake Eyes were already covered in sweat.
"How is the situation?" Lin Rui whispered.
"Damn it, he's an expert at laying mines. But we still got out." Crazy Horse whispered.
"How do you know?" Lin Rui whispered.
Snake Eyes handed the binoculars to Lin Rui, "On the upper left side, there is a broad sword mine set on a tree. The camouflage shell and the cover with dead branches and leaves make it difficult to detect. But the height set is beyond the sensing range. .What can you guess about this?"
"This is not a trigger mine, but a remote control mine." Lin Rui whispered.
"Yes, what we found before was an infrared sensing fuze. But for that one, there is no hidden wire, so it should be deployed by remote control detonation." Crazy Horse nodded.
Lin Rui's expression changed, "Remote control detonation is the most important detonation method of broadsword mines. This detonation method is mostly used in position defense warfare. When detonating remotely, the m57 pulse motor needs to be connected to the mine through a metal wire.
When it is necessary to detonate, press the handle of the M57, and the motor will generate a pulse current to detonate the ****, and then detonate the entire mine. But if it is detonated by remote control, the other party must have a temporary position at least twenty or thirty meters away, or a manned observation post. "
"Yes, these guys are very smart, right? But in this way, they also exposed their position. Now our difficulty is how to reach them twenty or thirty meters away without killing them. Safely pass the position." Crazy Horse whispered, "Boss, the decision is yours."
"I suggest we kill them." Snake Eyes whispered, "If I install a silencer, the sound of the gunfire will be very limited. It may not be able to alert other people." He looked at Lin Rui and said.
"But we don't know their defense plan. They should all have wireless communicators. If they have a regular contact mechanism and we kill these people, our position will be exposed quickly." Lin Rui shook his head.
"Maybe I have a way." Sal crawled over and whispered to Lin Rui.
"Why are you here? There are mines everywhere."Rui whispered, "Go back quickly."
"Captain, I remembered that there is a small valley near here. But it rarely rains and there are no flash floods, so it should be dry. If we go there, we will be in a depression and can avoid the water above. Watch. Because the terrain is low, they can only see what's above our heads." Thrall whispered.
"Are you sure?" Lin Rui's expression changed.
"Yes, I am sure that if we can move about fifteen meters to the left, we should be able to see the dry river bed. Then we all go down and move close to the edge of the river bed, and we can avoid what you said That place. And if those people are up there, they won¡¯t be able to see us, because we are in the blind spot of their sight." Sal whispered.
"I think we can give it a try." Snake Eyes thought for a moment and took back the muffler he just took out.
Lin Rui patted him and said, "Put it on. If we can get through, you will soon be able to use this thing." Snake Eyes nodded.
"I'll lead the way." Sal whispered, "We agreed, captain. If I do a good job this time, you will introduce business to me in the future."
Lin Rui nodded, "Of course, as long as you don't blow yourself up."
"Don't worry, I'm in front of him." Crazy Horse whispered. "And if we move further to the left, we will almost be out of the minefield. Snake Eyes, help me keep an eye on the movement over there."
Snake Eyes nodded, "We should be on the flanks of these people now. As long as you don't make any noise, we shouldn't attract attention."
Crazy Horse made a gesture and asked Thrall to follow him. "Boy, I only have two rules. One is to move with me, and second, you do whatever I do. Do you understand?"
"No problem." Sal nodded. This Kurd has indeed fought in the war and has a good psychological quality. Crazy Horse patted him and crawled forward.
