Chapter 145: Position Details

Avoiding the patrol soldiers, Lin Dong and the two found a relatively hidden corner, Ben took out the bolt cutter he carried with him, and cut a large hole one meter long and wide by the barbed wire fence around the periphery of the position, and the two of them went directly into it.

After waiting for a minute, Sophie's figure appeared in the field of vision, and Lin Dong stretched out his hand to signal.

When Sophie came in as well, Ben once again made a simple cover for the hole, and the three of them began to enter the position to investigate.

Looking at the cannons that appeared in front of him, Lin Dong's heart was slightly surprised.

Although I have been a mercenary for a short time, I have never seen this kind of scene with a lot of cannon barrels in reality.

However, unlike Lin Dong's surprise, at this time, Sophie and Ben did not pay any attention to these artillery pieces of the Villa government army.

"Won't it all be just this level of artillery?" Ben whispered in surprise.

Lin Dong looked at him with some puzzlement, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong, is there something wrong?" ”

Ben grinned and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I've always heard that the Villa government has been under Zafiq's dictatorship for decades, and the military strength is also very strong in the whole of Africa, but now looking at the appearance of these artillery, it seems that it is a bit unworthy of the name!" ”

Lin Dong looked at a cannon in front of him, and it looked like a 155mm cannon howitzer, although it looked a little old, but the firepower was still very powerful.

Especially when there are enough of them, the damage to the troops on the front line is absolutely off the charts.

As if seeing Lin Dong's doubts, Ben explained softly: "Boss, I don't mean to say that the power of these cannons is not good, but ...... How to put it, it's just too backward. ”

Ben took Lin Dong to a hidden corner, pointed to a row of artillery in front of him and said: "Boss, you see, most of these are Soviet-made D-20 (M1955) 152mm cannon howitzers, which were equipped with the artillery regiments of the Soviet Army Artillery Division and Motorized Rifle Division in 1955, and also equipped with many other countries.

Perhaps it was a very powerful artillery piece at that time, but now in 2011, they should have long since been withdrawn from the stage of history.

And the one next to us, this one is okay, this is the TR.F1 howitzer, which is a 155mm towed howitzer that France began to develop in 1975.

In comparison, its range of 24 km is not bad, and the distance is 7 km higher than the 17 km of the D-20, which can be regarded as the main artillery.

But now the main force on the battlefield is obviously not their artillery, but more powerful rocket artillery. That's why I'm saying that they're a little bit behind in these things. ”

Ben's words made Lin Dong a little suspicious, could it be that Zafiq's army firepower had really fallen to such a point?

Then how can you fight with those National Liberation Army on the other side?

But just when the two of them were puzzled here, Sophie's figure suddenly appeared beside them, and a calm voice came, saying: "Both, your popular science time should be over, then come with me, if you want to see this, you shouldn't have such unnecessary worries." ”

Sophie's words made Lin Dong's two old men a little embarrassed, and it seemed that what the two of them said just now was a little indiscriminate.

In this kind of sneaking into the enemy camp to investigate, it seems a bit out of place to do popular science knowledge.

The two honestly followed Sophie, dodging the patrolling soldiers, and what appeared in front of them were vehicles covered in camouflage.

The three of them found a hidden position, and Lin Dong quietly lifted the camouflage net into a corner, and what he saw was a neatly arranged cannon barrel.

Lin Dong glanced at Ben with some surprise, and a name appeared in his heart at the same time.

"MLRS!"

Just now, the two of them said that the real killer-level weapon on the battlefield is rocket artillery, and now it appeared in front of their eyes.

After taking a closer look, Ben said to Lin Dong and Sophie: "This should be the BM-21 rocket launcher, which is a 122 mm 40-tube self-propelled rocket launcher developed by the former Soviet Union.

The guide tubes of this rocket launcher are arranged in 4 layers, each with 10 tubes. If this kind of rocket artillery is armed with a battalion, then the salvo of the whole battalion can fire 720 rockets or chemical bombs, with a total weight of 48,000 kilograms, far more than the amount of a salvo fired by all conventional artillery of most national army divisions.

This kind of rocket artillery has participated in many wars, such as the Afghanistan War, the Iran-Iraq War and the Gulf War, etc., and it can be said that it has been tested for a long time.

It can be regarded as a kind of army mass killing weapon, and it is estimated that this is the real firepower pillar of this artillery position. ”

Lin Dong took a closer look, there are probably no less than 10 of these rocket launchers here, although it is much worse than the standard of a battalion mentioned here, but this is also a terrifying firepower.

A salvo of 400 rockets, plus those 155 mm and 152 mm plus howitzers and howitzers on the side, can definitely play a role in changing the course of the war.

"Hehe, no wonder those mercenaries had so many people before that they couldn't even play a role in the defense line, with this level of firepower, those mercenaries are estimated to collapse in less than half an hour."

After quietly scouting the real camp and leaving the video data, Lin Dong and the three began to prepare to retreat.

This kind of artillery position, of course, with them, can not do any harm here.

And there are quite a few soldiers here, definitely more than a thousand, so it's a joke to want to kill people silently, it doesn't hurt them at all, and it's easy to trap yourself in, of course Lin Dong won't do this kind of thing.

All they have to do now is to send back these materials and the specific coordinates here, and as for how to arrange them, that's a matter from above.

However, after Lin Dong thought that General Younis got the information he sent back, he would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity, and he would definitely bomb this coordinate indiscriminately, or more directly, ask NATO bombers to bomb the sky.

But no matter which method is used, this place will become a hell on earth, and they will definitely have to run as far as they can, Lin Dong doesn't believe that the other party will slow down his plans because of his existence.

After leaving the camp, Lin Dong and the three of them quickly fled towards the depths of the jungle, and Lin Dong had already informed Wall and the two of them to gather in the previously determined place.

After the five people gathered, Lin Dong did not stop at all, and directly began to move towards the edge of the basin, he needed to go out of the basin by himself and make sure that he and the others were completely safe before going to do other things.
