489 The artillery reconnaissance radar Kamui that made the monkey cry
Bazooka!
Type 63 tracked self-propelled rocket launchers, and there are definitely quite a few of them.
When Canon saw the self-propelled rocket launcher that slipped away, he immediately stopped saying anything.
However, Alexei was a little puzzled, are these Chinese artillerymen ready to use grenade cannons with rocket artillery?
The maximum firing range of the Type 66 152 mm grenade cannon can reach more than 17 kilometers, and the minimum firing range must be four kilometers, and the use of extended-range shells will expand the striking distance to a maximum of 22 kilometers or even higher, and the maximum firing range of the Type 63 130 rocket launcher made in China is only 12 kilometers.
If used together, this will have some effect on the entire shelling.
"Director Liu, if it is mixed like this, can it bring out the maximum effect of artillery?" immediately asked Liu Yijiu next to him.
Liu Yijiu didn't answer him, but directly translated the words to Commander Yang and Chief of Staff Lu Zhibin next to him, they were experts, and Liu Yijiu didn't know why they did this.
When Commander Yang heard this question, he immediately laughed out loud and explained to them, "Because we only have one artillery sighting radar on our side, and since the production has not yet been finalized, there is one radar on the most important battlefield on the entire Eastern Front and one on the Western Front, so in order for us to be able to find out the enemy's artillery position at one time, we have mobilized a rocket artillery nearby, and the other artillery regiments will not participate in today's shelling......
"One radar, capable of two artillery regiments?" Not to mention that Alexei didn't believe it, even Canon didn't believe it.
"Yes, this radar can detect artillery positions within fifteen kilometers. As long as they fire, that is. With the radar vehicle as the starting point, the artillery positions within a range of fifteen kilometers can be inferred. Even at an artillery position fifteen kilometers away, it can be deduced from the trajectory of the shells...... "Liu Yijiu explained.
The principle of using the radar was explained to the guys at the beginning, so it was much easier to say.
Canon didn't say anything more, and time began to slowly move towards ten o'clock when the planned general offensive was launched, the artillery positions were already full of ammunition, and about a kilometer ahead, there was an artillery position of a 122-mm heavy artillery regiment.
The artillery over there is a bait to lure the monkey artillery positions into firing.
At the beginning of the Sino-Vietnamese War, the Vietnamese lost hundreds of heavy artillery pieces and hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles. Several ace divisions were wiped out and disabled.
In order to support Le Duan to continue to contain China, the Soviets again provided Vietnam with more than five divisions of armored vehicles and heavy artillery.
All of these forces were used to fight the Chinese People's Liberation Army on the border, and if it weren't for that, the Vietnamese would not have had the courage to continue to fight with their teachers.
Across the border, Vietnam's newly reequipped 203rd Division, which has become Vietnam's new Fist Brigade, has the highest honor among Vietnam's existing troops, especially the breakthrough to Phnom Penh. Destroyed the rule of the Khmer in the Khmer.
However, this division was previously crippled by the 336 heavy rocket artillery researched by the Ninth Academy.
In order to ensure combat effectiveness, Li Duan added veterans with combat experience collected from the front line to this division, and then he didn't know what to think. Turned this unit into the Hanoi garrison. The Republic used the war to train its troops and constantly mobilized domestic troops to the border, and the Vietnamese were not fools.
They also began to train elite troops.
It is hoped that in the process of training, several elite divisions that were eaten by the Chinese People's Liberation Army at the beginning will be avenged.
Right now. The troops of the 203rd Division were met just in front of the Western Front.
"So, that's an old rival? it. Last time, I didn't blow up the grandson of Hodge, the commander of the 203rd Division! Liu Yijiu said fiercely.
"No, Hodge's dead. Now the commander of the 203rd Division is the original commander of the 345th Division, Mei Ronglan, and the deputy mayor is the commander of the 321st Division, Nguyen Shaoxiong, otherwise, do you think the Vietnamese army on the opposite side will be so fierce, and we will let them in? Commander Yang said with a smile.
This is an old adversary of the PLA.
Both sides know each other very well.
"The artillery mines have reached this side, and most of the time they are mortars used to detect monkeys, so I can give them a taste today!" Lu Zhibin also smiled.
The monkey has Soviet equipment, and the original 203 Division is obviously an integration of the elite of the 345 Division and the 321 Division, such an opponent is interesting to fight.
On the other side of the position, Mei Ronglan set the command position very forward, often disguised as the headquarters of his regiment or even lower levels. After the retreat from the PLA, the massive shelling on both sides stopped.
The Soviets supported the heavy artillery equipment of five artillery regiments, which made them want to take revenge early.
They were basically destroyed by the artillery of the People's Liberation Army, and now that they have the strength of two artillery regiments in their hands, they naturally do not want to retaliate.
"Lao Mei, the People's Liberation Army will launch a general attack on the front positions today, how are our artillery preparations?" Ruan Shaoxiong also didn't know why the secretary would let Mei Ronglan serve as the commander of the 203rd Division, and he was only a deputy division commander.
"Comrade Ruan Shaoxiong, General Secretary Li has asked the two of us to serve as the chief and deputy commanders of the 203rd Division, and you know the intention better than me. We have to find the artillery regiments of the People's Liberation Army and kill their artillery regiments before we can support the front line! Mei Ronglan naturally knew what Ruan Shaoxiong meant by this.
"The Soviets themselves don't have artillery radars for us, and it is not easy to find out their artillery positions!" Ruan Shaoxiong was very dissatisfied. His armored troops and heavy artillery regiment were killed by the People's Liberation Army before they made contributions, and it was precisely because of this that he was crushed by Mei Ronglan.
"Don't worry, you can get your wish today, as long as the other party dares to expose their artillery positions today!" Mei Ronglan almost gritted her teeth and said.
Yesterday, they had already received news that the People's Liberation Army on the opposite side would launch a counteroffensive against the Laoshan position today.
The Chinese artillery is strong, and the infantry combat effectiveness is not high, and often after encountering obstacles, it will call the artillery in the rear for fire support.
At ten o'clock in the morning. The PLA Lao Son front-line positions once again concentrated more than 100 guns of various caliber of more than 80 mm to shell the entire Vietnamese positions for half an hour, consuming thousands of shells. The heavy artillery of the two regiments of the Vietnamese army did not fight back at all, and even the mortars on their front line did not return fire. Most of the fighters took refuge in specially dug cat holes in the trenches.
The screeching sound of a cannonball piercing the air. The terrible explosions and splashes of dirt after landing shocked the Iranians and Pakistanis who watched through binoculars.
Chinese artillery, this is not something they can compare.
The intensity of the shelling was such that the entire hill was plowed over and over again.
The splashes of dirt and the flickering light of the fire told the spectators where the shells had landed and where the explosions were.
"Commander Yang, just with such intensive shelling. How easy it is to fight! Why hasn't your heavy artillery regiment fired so far? Seeing that the surrounding artillery with serious expressions and solemn expressions were calmly staring at the battlefield in the distance, and these cannons had not yet begun to roar.
Canon is a little unsure.
According to his understanding, before the start of the battle, all the heavy artillery had to desperately tilt the ammunition towards the enemy's artillery position, and it was better to plow the entire position, so that the infantry would be much easier to attack.
"Because these heavy artillery pieces are a feast for the enemy." Commander Yang said mysteriously.
Between words. The infantry of the PLA has already begun to attack, and the gunfire has begun to become dense.
Seeing the tongue of fire spewing from the Vietnamese army's position, Canon couldn't help but be stunned!
Under such a fierce artillery fire, the opponent was able to organize such a fierce counterattack.
countries in the Middle East. Because of the terrain, it is basically difficult to see such a tragic war.
"Let the 122-mm artillery requisition in front of you start preparing for fire support to the front line." Seeing that the time was about the same, the offensive of the troops attacking towards the hill was blocked. Commander Yang ordered to the messenger beside him.
Soon, the artillery positions in front of this artillery position where they were began to roar again at the positions of the front line.
And on the opposite hill, Mei Ronglan began to have a smile on her face.
"Order the 438 regiment to counterattack. Priority is given to the opponent's heavy artillery positions, and the positions of the 479th Regiment are on standby! "See this scene. Mei Ronglan immediately gave an order. He was just waiting for the other side's hidden artillery positions to be exposed.
"Division commander, let the 479th Regiment also enter the battle, don't give the Chinese a chance to fight back!" Ruan Shaoxiong felt that Mei Ronglan was too conservative.
"Do you think the Chinese are at this level? They are a decoy given, our 152 guns must wait until their other artillery positions fire! They didn't move in the initial shelling, just to attract our heavy artillery regiment! Mei Ronglan gritted her teeth and said, she can't care about despising Ruan Shaoxiong at this time.
After all, Nguyen Shao Hung once led a mechanized armored division, not a mechanized infantry division.
This is the real reason why he became the commander of the 203rd Division.
On a hill about 12 kilometers away from Liu Yijiu and others, after receiving Mei Ronglan's order, he began to adjust the elevation angle of the gun barrel according to the firing parameters given by the Soviet artillery adviser next to him, and prepared to open fire.
"Mr. Canon, let's go to the radar car next to us and watch." It's finally about to start, Liu Yijiu said to the Iranians around him who were still shocked. "Now it's time for our artillery radar performance."
Canon glanced at Liu Yijiu in surprise, didn't say anything, and silently followed Liu Yijiu towards the ugly radar car.
And the radar is now turned on, and the huge antenna behind it has begun to turn wildly.
The whirring wind made Canon and the others always worry that this antenna would not be thrown out and hit them.
The Chinese's stuff seems to be completely less reassuring than the equipment of many countries in Europe and the United States.
"What's on this?" Canon was a little surprised when he saw a lot of dotted lines on the monitors from the open door.
"Trajectory of shells. If you look at the situation on the front line, you can see that when the Vietnamese artillery has just fired one or two shells, their artillery will stop, because our artillery has accurately hit their artillery! Huang Qingyu, who was next to the command car, said with a smile on his face.
In front of him is a big donor.
"Is it so amazing?" Canon clearly didn't believe it.
"If there is such a miracle, you will be able to see it later, and soon, our heavy artillery will roar!"
Liu Yijiu smiled very loudly.
"Whew!"
"Whew! Shout! ”
Three shells in a row fell on the perimeter of the artillery position that was used as a decoy in front.
The Vietnamese calculated the position of the artillery positions in front and began to test fire in this direction.
"On the opposite side is the Vietnamese 122-mm artillery, the position is 107,306, the distance is 12.38 kilometers, and the elevation angle is 37 ° 13......" A PLA soldier with a headset in the car immediately reported a series of shooting Zhu Yuan into the microphone on his lips......
"Fire!" The red flag in the hands of Xie Cheng, the commander of the 486th regiment, waved fiercely, and at the same time these parameters sounded throughout the artillery position.
Canon didn't understand this, but he could see that all the guns began to raise their muzzles high under the operation of the PLA soldiers, and at the same time, the muzzles of the guns turned in the direction of the right.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!" The same three test firings.
The soldier who shouted in the car shouted again, "Correct, right deviation 1°02′, elevation angle minus 26′......"
All the cannons, at the same time, moved slightly again.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Three more test shots.
"The landing point is perfect, it can be saturated with bombing!" The warrior inside shouted into the microphone again.
At this moment, Canon and the others, who were standing next to the artillery reconnaissance radar, felt that the ground began to tremble, and the recoil of the 152-mm grenade cannon was definitely not small.
"The other party finally opened fire, let the 479th regiment open fire!" When Mei Ronglan heard the report of her subordinates, she immediately laughed.
After fighting the People's Liberation Army for such a long time, he has already figured out the habits of his opponents very clearly.
However, what he didn't expect was that the artillery on their side, three test shots, before the correction was completed, the opponent's heavy artillery began to desperately tilt the ammunition towards the two artillery positions, and every shell fell in the middle of their artillery positions......
At the headquarters, he was several kilometers away from the two artillery positions, and he could not see this situation at all.
"The enemy's 2nd artillery position was found, 152 guns, position 205, 309, distance 14.86 km, elevation angle 32 ° 57, direction 7 ° ......" The fighters in front of the computer screen reported again.
On the monitor in front of him, two red dots appeared, and two dotted lines crossed from the red dots to the green dots that represented them.
The dotted lines above the two dots represent two different parabolas...... (To be continued......)
