Chapter 797: Success!
Luo Xi, the direct commander of the W missile launch, also said to Guo Zhuocheng: "Chief, according to me, except for the fourth target, all the other targets will be launched again. ”
The fourth target is just a three-story school, and if three missiles passed, it would have long been in ruins, and the people inside would have fled long ago if they hadn't died, and there was really no point in launching them again. What they didn't know was that the effect of the missile bombardment was really what they thought, but the course was not: the first missile did not hit the school, but happened to hit a cement tank standing tall.
Guo Zhuocheng nodded.
As a result, the fourth round of missiles was launched again under Luo Xi's orders.
Only this time there were only three, and the targets were artillery positions and communication stations. Because of the delay caused by the debate and inquiry about the observation point just now, the launch time between the two rounds of missiles was more than three minutes longer than the previous one.
These three minutes are very short, but they are extremely valuable to the defenders of the Yulongjian ammunition depot, so that they can organize the preparation for interception more fully, and the interception fire is more perfect.
Even the fire in the valley has weakened a lot because the soldiers on the mountain threw a lot of sand and dirt, and there are not as many open fires as just now, but the smoke is much bigger.
The success of the two interceptions strengthened the confidence of the Vietnamese army. While the deputy regiment commander asked the higher authorities to continue to call on the radio and ask the superiors to send troops to try to stop the squadron from firing missiles any further, the deputy regimental commander arranged for the soldiers to prepare for the interception according to the interception situation just now, and at the same time arranged for a small number of soldiers to quickly carry the bullets.
Although the time to hit cruise missiles is short. But the consumption of bullets is staggering. In order to increase the density of the fire, automatic rifles and machine guns were fired in bursts, and everyone carried out blind fire, because when the missiles entered their field of vision, they were too fast to aim at all, and they could only shoot blindly in the direction arranged in advance, and the bullets were splashed out like running water
In order not to injure the opposing companion, the muzzle of the gun is always fired from the top down.
By the time they had chosen a better position under the command of the deputy regiment commander to prepare for firing, the fourth missile, which flew towards the artillery positions of the Vietnamese troops, had already been lowered at the artillery positions. I have to say that this time the cruise missile was too lucky, the last one just exploded in the open field. Killed and wounded several artillerymen, and sprinkled a layer of dust on the artillery. This time, however, it landed on a pile of shell boxes that had not had time to evacuate, and played an unusually strong note.
The earth trembled violently, and a mushroom cloud quickly rose into the sky.
The power of the missile explosion and the continuous explosion of the artillery shell destroyed a single life within a radius of 100 meters, and no one survived, and not a single corpse was intact. The explosion also destroyed all the artillery in this area. The barrel of one of the guns even flew into the air and smashed into the valley three hundred meters away......
Although the soldiers within 500 meters were not torn to pieces, they were scarred by the air waves or shrapnel, and some of them could not see it. Some limbs are incomplete, more are unable to move, ears, eyes, and noses are bleeding because of the huge concussion, and the dead are naturally very quiet, and those who are not dead lie on the ground humming.
The situation is much better at the communication station, which has a small floor area. The equipment is compact, and in the first three rounds of strikes it has long been in ruins, and there are no living people.
The last missile rushed down, but it just smashed a large hole in the rubble, and blew up the antennas that had no power and no signal.
If there are Chinese experts to this scene. I will definitely regret it to death, isn't this a waste of hundreds of thousands of dollars?
The missile that flew towards the Jade Dragon Stream was long overdue, and although the path was different from the three missiles fired at it before, it still had to pass through the valley before it could be fired into the warehouse gate.
Because of the fire, the door of the warehouse was still not closed, and perhaps the metal door had been burned and melted. Even if someone can withstand the fire and close the door, they can only marvel at the flowing molten metal.
When the missile appeared in the sky in the distance, the soldier in charge of the vigilance hurriedly fired into the sky as agreed to remind his companions on the top of the mountain and on the hillside: "Another missile is coming!" ”
The deputy regimental commander standing on the top of the mountain quickly moved the telescope, locked the missile that had changed direction in his field of vision, and shouted in his mouth: "The missile is coming!" Machine gun fire! Other Preparations---Forecast-"
I haven't heard the deputy head of the regiment for a long time, "Fight!" but heard his surprised and panicked "Huh-"
The soldiers around him involuntarily turned to him. Not sure what happened.
The deputy head of the regiment felt the gaze of his subordinates, and hurriedly shouted: "Fight!" ”
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
"Da Da Da ......"
Countless guns shot into the valley together, countless bullets pouring down into the valley.
The soldiers listened as they fired, hoping that the loud sound would come, but unfortunately, except for the whirring sound of the air flow and the continuous gunfire of the fire, the loud noise was not heard for a long time, and the fire from the missile volley explosion was not found.
The soldier kept shooting and stared at the valley with his eyes wide open, wondering in his heart: "Why is it still not loud?" ”
The deputy commander, like his subordinates, stared nervously below, and his heart was about to jump to his throat. Unfortunately, there was nothing inside, for the whole valley was covered in smoke, and nothing could be seen at all, except for the occasional wisp of fire.
The reason why he snorted in surprise just now was because his telescope had lost sight of the missile the moment it caught it, as it burrowed into the billowing smoke.
No one expected this to happen, and the smoke turned out to be a hiding place for missiles.
Because he didn't know where the missile had gone, the deputy regiment commander couldn't help but think nervously for a moment, and then gave the order to shoot, but he couldn't be sure if it could hit.
Just when the deputy head of the regiment was at a loss, he heard an explosion coming from the entrance of the cave, and his heart could not help but rejoice, but then his face turned pale, because he found that the sound came from the cave.
Yes, the fourth missile luckily rushed into the cave with the help of smoke cover.
Its flight is programmed to fly, it moves forward by inertial navigation, it doesn't need light at all, there is fog in the air or not, there is no difference, it flies forward the same.
Although the defenders on the hillside and the top of the hill formed a tighter fire, it was a pity that they started a few seconds earlier, and by the time the cruise missiles got into the fire, most of the rifle bullets had already been fired, and only a few rifles and a few machine guns were left roaring.
It was not until it encountered a large stone in the hole that was used to distinguish the entry and exit lanes that he was forced to stop. The hard warhead plunged into the stone and then exploded. The blast of air, shrapnel, and rubble killed or blew away all the soldiers who were still fighting the fire in the cave, and blew the flames into the depths of the cave.
When the officer in the depths of the cave arrived at this scene, he couldn't help but rejoice: although the missile explosion killed the soldiers who were fighting the fire there, it prevented it from continuing to fly in, which was really a great blessing in misfortune.
However, the next scene made the officer's heart feel cold: although the cruise missiles that rushed in at high speed were small in size, they rushed in with a large amount of hot gas from outside the cave, and the cave entrance was like a hurricane, bringing in the flames, thick smoke, gasoline that had not yet burned out, and especially the high-temperature gas, and rushed into the depths of the cave, and soon the flammable materials in the cave began to burn rapidly......
"Is it to fight a fire or to run for your life?" Everyone in the cave is facing a problem, one by one the officers in the cave.
Not only was the officer in the cave pale and stunned, but the deputy regiment commander on the top of the mountain was also in a cold sweat, his strands trembled, and there were words in his mouth: "What should I do?" What to do? ”
Just when the Vietnamese troops in Yulongjian were in panic, Guo Zhuocheng and his colleagues received a message from the observers: they felt the vibration of the shells of the Vietnamese artillery positions when they were detonated! To the mushroom cloud over the artillery position!
Then, the Provincial Earthquake Bureau sent a message that they had not received any signs of an earthquake in the Sino-Vietnamese border area.
Guo Zhuocheng immediately made a decision and immediately ordered: "Send out the last missile!" Target Jade Dragon Stream Ammunition Depot! ”
An expert who had just come in asked in surprise, "Consultant Guo, it's still fighting, it's all in ruins?" ”|
Guo Zhuocheng ordered sharply: "Launch immediately!" ”
Luo Xi also quickly understood, and immediately shouted: "Target ammunition depot, launch!" ”
Fortunately, the last missile had already entered the target parameters, so with Luo Xi's order, the last missile erupted, flying out of the launch canister in the eyes of everyone, pointing straight at the sky.
After the last missile flew out of everyone's sight, Guo Zhuocheng said to the questioning expert: "Because the first four missiles did not destroy this arsenal!" ”
"Ah, why? It's not ......," the expert looked at Guo Zhuocheng in confusion.
Qian Xuesen explained for Guo Zhuocheng: "You didn't know that you weren't here just now, but the explosion of the artillery shells in the artillery position just now caused a tremor of the earth, which made our army observers ten kilometers away feel it. However, the Yulongjian arsenal did not tremble, not to mention that our soldiers did not feel it, and even the test bench of the Yunnan Provincial Earthquake Bureau did not test it. Moreover, we did not see the mushroom cloud formed by the explosion of a large number of ammunition, so Consultant Guo believes that this ammunition depot has not really detonated yet. As for the smoke and fire that rose there, we don't know, maybe because it happened to detonate the fuel tanker trucks of the Vietnamese army, or because it caused a forest fire. ”
This expert sighed and admired Guo Zhuocheng very much.
Everyone looked up to the south, in the direction the missiles had left. Although nothing came to them, only the smoke left by the missiles, everyone still stayed for a long time.
A few minutes later, the observer at the border called: "Report! I found that there is a mushroom cloud rising in the direction of the Jade Dragon Stream! We felt a slight tremor in the earth! ”
