Chapter 3563 Countercharge

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After Lin Rui and others occupied the nearby high ground, they could already see the enemy's mortar position, and immediately reported the detected target information to the Canavian Army.

    "Received target bearing 9-7, distance 874, shooting angle correction 11 mils, wind speed 2, humidity 3, ready to shoot at any time." A soldier from the Canavian Army turned to Crazy Horse and said.

    "Are you sure this is the location of the enemy's mortar?" Crazy Horse asked in a low voice.

    "Confirmed, our people have reached the hillside. Mr. Rick asked us to shoot down the enemy mortars, then let all the hidden fire points open fire, and coordinate with the guerrillas and the Orumi resistance organization to launch a counterattack  Charge and retake the previous positions." The Canavian soldier put down the wireless and replied.

    "Okay, fire immediately, 10 rapid fire shots." Crazy Horse nodded.  Rapid firing refers to firing a specified number of shells at the maximum rate of fire in the shortest time.  During the rapid firing period, if you do not correct the shooting elements, the cannonball will be fired as soon as it is loaded.  This method mainly provides sufficient firepower in a short period of time.  The disadvantage is that the shooting accuracy is not enough.  Crazy Horse was born in the US military. Americans have always been wealthy and prioritize firepower.  After locking the target, it was a barrage of artillery fire.

    The secret society militants suddenly heard a sharp sound in the air amidst the intensive gunfire in front of them. When they heard the sound, they looked up and were suddenly confused.  Then there was a loud noise in the sky - "Boom! Boom!" Accompanied by several loud explosions, the mortar positions and related personnel erected on the steep slope were bombed one after another, and human body fragments were mixed with the splashing earth and rocks.  , bursting with red juice like a burst watermelon.  Suddenly, a red light appeared, and shrapnel and flying sand, earth and rock fragments flew everywhere.

    Mortars are very old. They existed during World War I, but they have not been eliminated to this day. Even the US military, which has strong armed forces, uses them in large quantities every year.  Because its value mainly lies in its unique ballistic performance, which can hit targets that other artillery cannot hit.  Cannons and howitzers will have a large dead zone because their trajectories are relatively low, while mortar shells will go straight up and down in a high parabola, so their dead zone will be very small.

    Not only do mortars have an irreplaceable use because of their high-ejection trajectory, they can hit targets behind shelters, but also because their shells fall almost straight, the fragmentation effect is better than that of cannon and howitzer shells.

    The grenades fired by cannons and howitzers are in the shape of a cylinder with a spindle head, and they land diagonally when they land.  Due to the shape of the artillery shell, more fragments are generated on the sides of the projectile and less on the front and rear, so the fragmentation kill zone is roughly a rectangle that is wide laterally and narrow vertically.  In addition, the grenades from cannons and howitzers land diagonally, so some fragments are bound to be blown into the soil and have no effect.

    The fragmentation damage field of mortars is very different from that of breech-loading guns.  We all know that the trajectory of a mortar is a high parabola. When the shell hits the ground, it falls almost straight, so its fragmentation kill circle is approximately a circle.  And because mortar shells fall almost straight, unlike breech-loaded shells where some fragments are blown into the soil and wasted, their shrapnel can be evenly spread around.  Therefore, the fragmentation damage circle of mortar shells is approximately circular.

    Landing on the opponent¡¯s mortar position which was also unprotected, it exploded in all directions, knocking people off their feet.  It is also a disadvantage that the mortars of the Canavia Army are all 60 mm in diameter. This 60 mm light mortar is just a small thing, not too powerful, and more powerful than rifle grenades and hand grenades.  It cannot deal with armored targets, nor can it destroy strong fortifications, and can even only create a very shallow pit on a hard cement road.

    ¡°But it¡¯s very effective when used to hit people. A shell has a killing range of at least 15-20 meters. If fired rapidly in a short period of time, there will be flying steel balls and fragments everywhere.  The secret society's artillery position itself was temporarily arranged, and there was no time to build any mortar bunkers. This blast exploded indiscriminately, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere.

    Lin Rui observed with a telescope on the side of the hillside while shaking his head in a low voice, "It would be great if there were 120-caliber heavy mortars. This firepower alone can smash them."

    The cannonballs drew graceful arcs in the sky, and struck like raindrops from the enemy's head towards the enemy who was rushing up - "Boom!" There were flashing red lights, and there was a burst of tragedy.  Huh, whine; another burst of flesh and blood flew everywhere.  The mortar positions armed by the Secret Society were in chaos, really in chaos.

    Because large-caliber mortars are more difficult to move than machine guns, and the area of ??personnel exposed during operation is larger, they are actually more dangerous than machine gun groups.  The mortar position is also the key target of the opponent's reconnaissance phase and the key target of the opponent's fire preparation phase. Once one's own position is breached, the mortar position will immediately become a high-risk area.  The secret society's armed forces immediately realized when they were bombarded that their position was exposed.

    The commander of the secret society looked livid, "The assault team was killed by the opponent, and?They also took advantage of the situation to capture the high ground and provided accurate fire data to their artillery.  Damn it, where did these people come from?  Pass my orders"

    Before he finished speaking, someone immediately came in and reported, "Our front position was attacked by hidden firepower from the enemy, and the enemy is counterattacking with all its strength and launching a counterattack."

    "Counter-charge? They still dare to launch a counter-charge against us?" The armed commander of the secret society almost jumped, "Isn't it just one company?"

    "It doesn't look like it. Moreover, there are a large number of enemy hidden fire points on our flanks and rear. It is estimated that they have been suppressing and not firing before. Now our people are under the strangulation of crossfire from three sides. Our two squadrons  They can no longer withstand the pressure and are already requesting reinforcements. If there are no reinforcements, they are requesting a temporary withdrawal to avoid increasing losses." Secret Society militants reported.

    "We can't withdraw. If we withdraw, all our previous efforts will be in vain, and we have to compete with them for time. Once we withdraw, it will take a while to seize the frontier. In this way, the Canavian Army may  Return timely reinforcements!" The armed commander of the secret society muttered, "Send people to support the temporarily tight areas, let them rely on the existing conditions to stabilize first, and then try to organize an attack.

    "Understood!" the armed personnel of the secret society stood at attention.

    At this time, all the hidden heavy firepower of the Canavian Army in the front area had been fired, as if thousands of huge thunders suddenly sounded.  The rain of bullets from heavy machine guns brought with them the unique and frightening sound of rockets whizzing through the air, like red and hot fire arrows.  The mortars that had destroyed the enemy's artillery also retracted and focused on the infantry armed by the secret society, setting off patches of fire in this small firefighting area.  In the blink of an eye, the steel balls flying all over the sky set off another wave of death towards the enemy fire position with suffocating heat!
