Chapter 269: Mortar Highest Shooting Realm
Wang Dazui once again gained everyone's attention.
He triumphantly described the news he had inquired from his countrymen in a tone akin to that of a storyteller under a flyover.
When it was his turn to conduct the tactical command assessment, the instructor first set a task for them - the X platoon of the company was intercepted by the enemy bunker fire point on the unnamed high ground in the col on the southeast side of the No. 1 Heights, and the attack was blocked, and a 82 mortar squad was needed to support it.
Order your unit to advance quickly along the west side of the mountain road from the right side of Heights 3, set up artillery on the hill located on Heights 2, mark the coordinates of the enemy's firepower points on the spot for artillery support, cover the attack of Platoon X, and pull out the enemy's firepower points.
This is a deceptively simple support mission.
It's too easy to get it done, do as the instructor said, take the artillery squad through the No. 3 heights, arrive at the designated location on the No. 2 heights, set up the guns, get in touch with the X platoon, get the coordinates, and then set up the guns to shoot.
Even if you think about it a little deeper, the instructor deliberately made a problem, saying that the X platoon could not provide the coordinates of the enemy's fire point, then the squad leader could go up to the No. 2 high ground, manually calculate the coordinates and calibrate after condescending observation, use the gun pole to designate the direction, correct the impact point after the test firing of one shot, and then make a rapid fire within five minutes, and then dismantle and transfer the gun.
It's not that hard.
However, the trickiness of the instructors of the teaching brigade was absolutely unexpected.
When the mortar squad ran up the mountain road on the side of Heights 3, the instructor suddenly shouted to stop.
A group of soldiers stood stupidly in place, bewildered, not understanding why their normal support mission suddenly stopped.
The instructor raised his hand, pointed his right palm like a knife to the right side of the unit, and said: "The situation has changed, you have noticed that there is a trace of the movement of the enemy detachment about 1 kilometer from the right front, and the direction of movement is the right flank of the X platoon, and the movement speed is extremely fast. Your communications equipment is damaged during the movement and you can't notify Platoon X. In this case, please take the right action. ”
Then the scene pointed to that side, and made a mark on the map on the spot, pointing out to the private cadet.
Dispose of it correctly?
The purpose of this is obvious, the enemy squad is outflanking from the right side, and it is obvious that it is going to explode the chrysanthemum of Platoon X.
Once the roundabout outflanking is successful, then the X Platoon will be attacked in the middle of the col, and the whole army will be wiped out if it is not good.
The private cadet thought about it and gave the order to fire the guns on the spot.
But as soon as the cannon was erected, it was shouted to stop by the instructor on the side.
"Do you not know how to read a map or are you blind!?" He waved the map and spread it out in front of the privates, "How many meters are there in your line of sight from the position of the enemy detachment I marked to the right side of Heights 2?" ”
“…… One hundred and twenty meters ......" the private was already sweating with fright from the instructor.
According to the map of the land, the distance is correct.
"One hundred and fifty meters, how much time does it take for an infantry detachment to pass through?!" The instructor continued to ask.
"Forty ......seconds at most," the private said.
"How long does it take you to set up your guns and aim, and then prepare your ammunition!?" The instructor asked again.
The sweat from the private's forehead came down.
"One point...... Zhong ......"
"And you're still spanking a fart!? Can you still see the exact location of the squad!? The instructor roared at him like a raging lion: "When you set up your cannon and take aim, you can only shoot the air!" Your brother's army has been outflanked! It's dead! ”
In this way, the instructor unceremoniously drew a large circle on the transcript.
Zero points!
"What? Do you think I'm deliberately embarrassing you!? After the instructor finished grading, he asked the others: "You say! How to do it!? ”
The other students looked at each other.
"In the past five months, have you learned from dogs!?" Unceremoniously, the instructor put the scorecard and map on the ground, then walked over to the 82 mortar, dismantled the cannon, locked the sleeve, and placed a mortar trainer shell beside him.
After simply measuring the distance and the number of dense positions with the palms and fingers, the instructor picked up the barrel, faced the place where the enemy squad appeared just now, grabbed the barrel with the balance of the palms of both hands left and right, aimed at the center line of the body, and pushed outward.
After the launch, with the knuckle of his own index finger placed on the muzzle, a simple angle correction was made to the barrel.
Then take a step forward with your right foot, rest the barrel on your right leg, then hold the upper part of the gun with your left hand, take the shell with your right hand and place it into the chamber from the muzzle......
All of this was done in less than twenty seconds.
"Easy Shot ......"
In the ranks of the cadets, someone finally shouted.
"Do you know there's such an operation as an easy shot!?" The instructor put down the barrel and returned to the front of the queue, "Didn't your squad leader teach you how to shoot easily?" ”
"Taught ......"
"Taught ......"
One by one, the students lowered their heads.
The instructor said: "Every subject and every infantry combat skill, if you learn it, it will definitely be useful, otherwise why spend time giving it to you?" ”
The students did not dare to say anything.
Easy shooting, this is an emergency operation of the PLA mortar squad. In short, the firing operation of one person, one barrel.
The standard 82 mortar squad was supposed to require at least 7 people to maintain the fire supply, but the simple shooting is a simulation of the extremely high-quality and fastest one-man single-gun operation method adopted when the entire squad is dead and only one gunner is left in an emergency encounter with the enemy or receives a request for fire support from a superior.
A top gunner of an 82 mortar, the highest level is easy shooting operation, and the same as the infantry marksman assessment, easy shooting is the highest operational requirements for mortars.
The seemingly simple operation requires great precision, and this accuracy completely depends on the gunner's own experience, ability, and skill, which can be used to visually measure distances, and to be able to calculate the number of dense positions with just a pen, fingers, and palms.
Then you have to go through countless contacts over and over again, up to the length of your arm, the length of each finger of your index finger. After the hands are pushed out of the barrel, how many degrees does the barrel and the ground appear? Then through this degree to calculate the shooting distance, and then use the knuckle of the finger to correct the angle one by one, how much the muzzle of the gun is lowered in the first knuckle of the index finger, how many degrees the pullback is, all by heart.
This is a shooting skill that has always completely tested the ability of the shooter.
PLA's top infantry gunner assessment, this one belongs to the top assessment, and a skilled gunner can complete the entire process of pushing, aiming, calculating, loading, and firing within 30 seconds.
The problem that the instructor just made can be dealt with simple shooting, and these gunners are not yet killed, so they will be faster, and they are fully capable of intercepting shells before the enemy detachment disappears from sight, so that they can be frightened at the same time, and can also indirectly remind the X platoon in the col that is blocked from attacking, and let them divide their forces and deploy their defenses.
Everything is a flexible technique, this is the battlefield.
After listening to Wang Datong's retelling, Zhuang Yan and the others couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
I didn't expect these instructors to be so unconventional in terms of tactical command.
So, when it's their turn next, what kind of completely unexpected problems will these strange teachers give themselves?
Thinking of this, Zhuang Yan couldn't help but be a little nervous.
