091 Chapter 91 Explosion on the Anticline (Revised)

General Xiaohong said: "Aren't the M120-type 120-mm mortars of country M the active equipment of their own troops? How can you just sell it to others? I heard that its range is only about 7,000 meters, can it fly over mountains and land on the base on the anticline 7,000 meters away? ”

"I heard that they have improved extended-range shells with a range of more than 9000 meters, so there should be no problem," said the chief of staff.

Hearing this, General Xiao Hong felt that the problem was serious, if the Wild Wolf Army had such an artifact, it would blast a few rounds at the base every day, or in a few days, the base would be razed to the ground. Although personnel can hide in bomb shelters, they always have to eat and sleep in the house during the perennial war. In addition, if it is really the M120 type 120 mm mortar of the M country, it means that the M country is also involved, and the matter will be more complicated. Thinking of this, he couldn't hold back any longer, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, follow me to the observation room at the top of the mountain!" ”

The chief of staff hurriedly said: "General, you can't go out now, the two shells just now are likely to be test firing to correct the trajectory, and then it may be a large-scale shelling, and it is very dangerous to go out now!" ”

General Xiaohong shook his head and said: "It is impossible to bombard on a large scale, and one or two shells, even if they miss, can be said to be stray bullets." But what if the massive shelling hits the post of the border guards of country Z not far ahead? The government army knows very well that once country Z resumes its support for us, East Africa will change, and country A will lose half of its country! ”

The chief of staff said: "That being said, you are our military god and the morale of the officers and men of the whole army, and there is no room for the slightest mistake." ”

General Xiao Hong gave him a blank look and said, "Am I so valuable?" What are we afraid of when we go up the traffic trench? Learn and follow me! With a wave of his hand, two guards took the lead in running out to check the situation on the traffic trench. The mercenary alliance can withstand the fierce attack of the wild wolf army in the land of Ziyan, and it is inseparable from the military god of General Xiaohong.

Sure enough, as General Xiaohong expected, there was no shelling along the way, and they went up smoothly along the traffic trench to the foot of the mountain, which was still more than 100 meters away from the top of the mountain, and then entered a tunnel fortification. There were dozens of soldiers on duty in the fortifications, and when they saw General Xiaohong coming in, they all stood up and saluted. General Xiaohong returned the salute to the soldiers and greeted them at the same time. The chief of staff called the platoon commander, and under the leadership of the platoon commander, they zigzagged forward in the tunnel fortifications for another five or six minutes, and had already passed through the mountain and came to the observation post in the front position of the mountain.

General Xiaohong came to observe under the artillery scope, under this mountain is a ravine dozens of kilometers long, the ravine is thousands of meters away from the top of the mountain, the mercenary alliance is defending according to the danger, if country A and the wild wolf army attack strongly, the loss of thousands of people will not be able to attack the top of the mountain. Across the ravine, there is a mountain beam more than 2,000 meters high, and the top of the mountain beam is an important position of the Wild Wolf Army, and it is also three or four kilometers away from the frontal position of the mercenary alliance.

Due to the lack of long-range weapons in the mercenary alliance, the wolf army set up rows and rows of barracks on the top of the mountain, and the white walls and blue tiles were very conspicuous. About 200 meters to the left of the barracks, there is a gray tile yard, this yard is huge, the open space in the middle is more than 3,000 square meters, in the middle of the open space, diagonally lined up with four Yugoslav M48 76MM mountain howitzers, the maximum range of this gun is 8750M, the grenade projectile weighs 6.2KG, the maximum rate of fire is 25 rounds / min, it is a suppressive weapon for the frontal position of the mercenary alliance. General Xiao Hong saw that his teeth were itching, and he had long hated these four cannons, but unfortunately he did not have the right equipment to destroy them.

After searching for a long time, no new mortar positions were found, so what weapons did the enemy use to shell the base on the antislope? General Xiaohong fell into deep thought.

At this moment, in a hidden wolf army position on the hill 3 kilometers opposite General Xiao Hong, there is also a soldier holding a telescope observing the position of the mercenary alliance on General Xiao Hong's side. The soldier was about 40 years old, with bronzed skin, a muscular physique, and a sparse stubble that was somewhat gray. He was Colonel Horn Ling, the commander of the military division of Galen. Yesterday, the commander of the Northern Military District, Major General Ondan, told him that samples of two M120 120-mm mortars purchased from country M had arrived, and asked him to personally test the effectiveness of these two mortars and, if the results were good, to prepare for bulk procurement of mountain troops to be equipped in East Africa. In the mountains of East Africa, there are shooting dead spots and anti-slope positions everywhere, and the role of mortars is not ordinary.

Previously, the mortars of the army of country A were backward, and their performance was almost the same as that of the mortars of the local armed forces, and they had almost no advantage, and the error of the landing point was very large, and they flew across the national border without paying attention, so they did not dare to use them in ordinary times. Major General Ondan of the Northern Military Region of the Wolf Legion got Army M to agree to sell a batch of M120 120mm mortars in active service to the Wolf Army through Colonel King's door. This kind of mortar only began to be equipped with the M Army in the 90s, and later after the test of many wars, it has been continuously improved, it not only has a long range, but also has great power, and after cooperating with the information-based artillery aiming system, it is almost like a precision-guided bomb. From the point of view of technical parameters, it would be best if the digitally transformed M120 was used to bombard the Ziyan base on the anticline. Because it is curved and equipped with a volley explosion proximity fuse, it makes it impossible for enemies hiding behind mountains and behind walls to hide, which is simply a tailor-made artifact for mountain warfare. Therefore, General Ang Dan took advantage of this time that the people of country M asked him to help investigate the foreign girls, and got a batch through Colonel Kim.

Ten minutes or so ago, when two 120 mortar PAO shells roared over the opposite peak, and two explosions were heard behind the mountain, Colonel Jiaoling's heart had been hanging in the air. First, I am worried that the error of the landing point of these two shells is too large, and if it crosses the border and flies into country Z, it will be a big problem. Second, I am worried about the power of this kind of shell, the charge is less than six kilograms, how much lethality can it have?

At this moment, the staff officer next to him pointed to the laptop and said: "Commander, come and see, the people of country M have sent over the battle damage assessment pictures taken by the satellite." After speaking, he couldn't help muttering to himself: M Guoyan is amazing, and in only ten minutes, he took high-definition pictures of the battle damage.

Colonel Jiao Ling walked over to his laptop, and two pictures were displayed on the computer screen, one on the left was a satellite image of Ziyan Base an hour ago, and the other on the right was a real-time battle damage assessment picture taken by a satellite that had just been transmitted. The resolution of the image is at least five times clearer than what you would normally see in Google Maps. A little comparison can be found that the sentry at the west gate of the Ziyan base is gone, and the underground is in shambles. More than 10 meters behind the sentry post, a house of about 100 square meters collapsed, and the roof of this house was not known where the bomb had gone, revealing a large number of boxes in the house. The horn made the colonel nod with satisfaction, such an artillery effect is not much different from precision-guided bombs, M Guoyan is powerful, how did they do it? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but become interested in these two mortars, waved my right hand, and said to the guard: "Let's go, let's go to the mortar position and have a look." ”

They walked out of their positions, across the courtyard, and towards the other side of the hill. It turned out that their mortar position was also built on an anticline, no wonder General Xiaohong searched in the telescope for a long time and did not find it.

Not far from the mortar position, Colonel Jiaoling saw a bamboo pole as thick as three people with a bowl as thick as a bowl, and a set of equipment was tied to it, one of which was a long-handled rice spoon-like antenna that was constantly rotating, and the bottom of the long-handled rice spoon was connected to a small iron pot-shaped satellite antenna, and the base of this antenna was a boxy black metal box the size of a brick. But there are no wires connected to the ground, so I don't know what to do with them.

At this time, the personnel on the mortar position not far away had already discovered the arrival of the colonel Jiaoling, and a soldier greeted him, stood up and saluted, saying: "Report to the colonel, all the personnel of the first artillery squad are learning the operation method of the new equipment from the advisers of country M."

Colonel Jiaoling nodded and said, "What is that rotating antenna on your bamboo pole for?" ”

The soldier reported: "It is a comprehensive measuring instrument of the artillery aiming system, which can accurately determine the wind direction, wind speed, temperature and pressure and other related data, and connect it to the computer host of the artillery aiming system, it can obtain accurate gun aiming angle, ang angle and charge and other data, which can greatly improve the hit rate."

Colonel Jiaoling nodded again, it still makes sense to transform according to this kind of technology. Then he asked, "Since you want to connect to the computer host, why don't you see a data cable?" ”

The soldier said: "Because the integrated measuring instrument is not far from the computer host, it uses a wireless Bluetooth connection. ”

Colonel Jiaoling scratched the back of his head and said: "It seems that I am really old, I thought that Bluetooth was just a function of mobile phones, but I didn't expect it to be able to be used on a cannon."

At this time, the adviser of the M Army, who was next to guide the operation of the Wild Wolf Army, also came over and proudly said to Colonel Jiaoling: "Hey, Mr. Colonel, you have also seen the photo of the shelling effect, right?" Are you still happy with the results? ”？

Colonel Jiaoling said: "Mr. Advisor, these two cannons are really a bit level, and your disciples are also very good, and you have taught our soldiers this afternoon!" ”

“NO,NO,NO!” The consultant said three NOs in a row. Stretched out his right index finger and shook it and said: "The Chinese have an old saying: you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." How can you master it all in one afternoon? This is our instructor who did a demonstration of artillery bombardment, and today we only taught them the basic operation, and then we had to let them test fire in actual combat on their own to know if they had mastered it. ”

Colonel Jiao Ling said: "That's right, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and it's not early now, so don't try firing again today, how about coming back tomorrow?" ”

The advisor nodded and said, "That's fine, just take advantage of the free time tonight to make up for your soldiers' theoretical knowledge." ”
