Chapter 468: Lao Tzu Doesn't Read Much

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

……

Almost at the moment when the lieutenant holding the betel nut box took out his gun and pointed it at Liu Mang's head, several loud gunshots suddenly rang out!

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

……

Just in an instant, the two soldiers of the government army in front of Liu Mang turned their heads to look in the direction where the gunshots came from, but before they could see the reason, there was an extra bullet hole in their foreheads!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

……

Immediately afterwards, several gunshots hit the glass wall door of the supermarket, and suddenly a piece of glass shattered directly!

"Red ...... Red Turban Army! ”

All this is a long story, but it actually happened between the lightning and flint, and almost the moment these pictures happened now, the supermarket owner panicked!

Because of the position he was standing in, at this angle, he could just see the person who shot over there!

It is the source of the riots in this country!

Red Turban Army!

All the scarves around their necks are red!

"Red Turbans?"

At this moment, Liu Mang's brows suddenly wrinkled when he heard the words of the supermarket owner!

Isn't this the organization that caused riots in towns and beaches in Wolf Warrior 2!

And now I've met it myself!

"Bang bang!"

"Bang Bang"

……

Suddenly, at this moment, Liu Mang's face changed suddenly, and then his scalp was numb, and the hairs all over his body stood upside down, and at the same time, the speed of his heartbeat was also accelerated to the extreme!

Siberian Tiger Genes –

First Hidden Skill: Beast Intuition Activates Autonomously!

"Huh?"

The next moment, Liu Mang raised his eyebrows!

It's a sign that you're in danger, and it's a danger that can threaten your life!

That is to say, now, someone has already taken a weapon and aimed at himself remotely!

Or say yourself in this direction!

Fly Genes –

Compound Eye Skill On!

Then, in the next moment, Liu Mang took the initiative to turn on a genetic skill, and the picture of 360 degrees around him was directly imprinted into his eyes in the next instant!

Bat Genes –

Echolocation skill on!

At the same moment as it was opened, Liu Mang opened another genetic skill, which is the core skill of bat genes, which can accurately lock the direction from which all sounds come from!

"Bang!"

All this is a long story, almost the moment when the hooligan turns on several major genetic skills, a violent sound comes!

"Whoosh!"

With a violent sound, a piercing sound of breaking the air came again!

The next moment, within the visual range of Liu Mang's fly gene compound eye skill, a huge cannonball suddenly appeared.

In an arc-shaped posture, it falls from the sky!

Similar to bazooka shells.

But...... And not bazooka shells!

"Mortar!"

In just a moment, Liu Mang's pupils shrank suddenly, and he saw clearly at once, and judged what kind of cannonball it was.

It is a kind of artillery mortar with a short barrel, a large angle of fire, a high ballistic arc, and a seat plate to bear the recoil, mostly using muzzle loading (muzzle loading for small and medium-sized calibers, and tail loading for large calibers), and launching curved smoothbore artillery mortars with tail shells!

This is a kind of artillery with low speed, curved trajectory and curved fire at the beginning, with a short barrel, a short firing range, and light and flexible.

And the mortar can shoot at targets behind the shelter.

This is exactly the characteristics of this cannonball that fell from the sky!

Since its inception, mortars have been an effective suppression weapon to support and accompany infantry operations, and are an extremely important conventional weapon for infantry.

It is mostly used as a suppression weapon for detachments below the infantry battalion.

Its greatest ability is to kill enemies at close range or behind obstacles such as hills, to destroy light fortifications and bridges, and to use smoke and flares.

It was also used as a depth charge dropper in naval battles.

The name of the mortar comes from two aspects: one is that it is easy to operate, the trajectory is curved, it can be fired close to the target, and there is almost no shooting dead angle; Second, after the shell is loaded from the muzzle, it is forced to fire by relying on the decline of its own mass, so that the shell is fired.

Mortars are mostly small, light guns that are flexible and lightweight in use, making them suitable for accompanying infantry in covert activities. However, in the near future, there has been a trend of large-scale, self-propelled and armored

Mortar is a curved artillery that uses the seat plate to withstand the recoil to fire shells, and its characteristics:

First, the firing angle is large, the firing angle is generally 45 °-85 °, the trajectory is curved, the muzzle velocity is small, the minimum firing range is relatively close, the killing effect is good for unprotected targets, and it is suitable for shooting at targets behind shelters and targets on the anti-slope plane.

Second, it can be equipped with a variety of shells. It is mainly equipped with anti-personnel blasting shells, which are used to annihilate and suppress the enemy's living forces and technical weapons, and destroy obstacles such as barbed wire; It can also be equipped with special shells such as smoke and flares.

Third, it is small in size, light in weight and simple in structure. It is easy to operate, and when shooting, the recoil energy of the body tube is absorbed by the ground through the seat plate. When marching, the body tube and seat plate can be disassembled, so it is easy to carry.

Since its inception, it has been widely used in warfare, especially in mountain warfare and trench warfare, with small infantry units (companies, platoons, squads) to fight, and is the standard fire support weapon of infantry. Ideal for targets behind shelter.

In countries like Africa, the rebel army is particularly fond of using mortars as the main firepower output!

The world's first real mortar was created in 1904 during the Russo-Japanese War and was invented by Russian artillery captain Leonid Nikolayevich Gobiato. At that time, Tsarist Russia and Japan were engaged in a fierce battle for the Port of Arthur in China.

The Russian army occupied the fortress of Arthur Pass, and the Japanese dug trenches and approached only a few dozen meters away from the Russian position, and it was difficult for the Russian army to kill and injure the Japanese army with ordinary artillery and machine guns. So Nikolayevich tried to convert an old 47mm naval mortar gun on a gun carriage with wheels and fire a long-tail shell at a large elevation angle, which turned out to be effective in killing and wounding the Japanese troops in the trenches and repelling many Japanese attacks.

This gun uses long super-caliber mortar shells with a total mass of 11.5kg, a firing range of 50~400m, and an angle of fire of 45 °~65 °. This kind of artillery, which was born in an emergency on the battlefield, was called "lightning cannon" at the time, and it was the world's first mortar.

In the First World War, due to the development of trench warfare, countries began to pay attention to the role of mortars, and on the basis of "lightning artillery", a variety of special mortars were developed. During this period, British inventor Sir Winfred Stokes invented the Stokes trench mortar in 1915, and the modern sense of the decomposable, portable mortar was introduced.

In 1927, the Stokes-Brontë 81mm mortar developed by France adopted a buffer, which overcame the shortcomings of the rigid connection between the gun body and the gun mount, and the structure was more perfect, and it basically had the characteristics of a modern mortar.
