Chapter 115: Easy to carry, easy to launch
In the dark night, there are many squads like them.
Not all of them were pushing twelve-barreled cart-like guns, some had eight-, four-, two-barreled, or even single-barreled recommended firing devices.
What's more, Corporal Schroeder, by himself, carried a rocket, and there was nothing else, and in front of him, an Iranian youth, led him down a winding alley, towards the suburbs, and the surrounding houses were gone, and finally stopped in front of a dirt slope.
"Well, on the other side, that's the Soviets' logistics troops." The Iranian youth said to Schroeder.
Now, the moon is sparse, and you can see from a distance a few kilometers away that the logistics units of the Soviets are still busy.
In the dim light, they were supposed to be overhauling a vehicle, a field crane, lifting the engine of a tank, the lights illuminating all sides.
Well, here it is! Schroeder put down the rocket he was carrying and began to prepare.
107 mm, the caliber is the most suitable, why is that?
If it is 102 mm, then the firing range is only five kilometers, and this kind of 107 mm, the firing range reaches 8.5 kilometers, which is a fairly suitable distance, and by the time the other side reacts, the gunner has already run away.
At the same time, a shell, only 18.8 kilograms, one person exactly carries one, can withstand a long march in complex terrain.
For example, the soldiers of the mountain division can carry it over the mountains and mountains, as if walking on the ground, and they will not feel too much burden at all.
No matter how large the caliber is, the rocket will be heavier, for example, 122 mm rockets, the weight is generally 45 kg to 66 kg, and it often takes three people to load one, and it cannot be carried by a single soldier at all.
This kind of 107 rocket, in addition to being easy to carry by a single soldier, is even more terrifying, a single soldier can launch it without any launcher!
Behind the dirt slope, Schroeder placed the rocket, which must be a careful job for him, and he took out a simple caliper from his body, constantly measuring the various attitudes of the rocket, and then carefully adjusting it.
After more than twenty minutes of tossing and turning, he finally sat down next to him satisfied, glued two wires to the bottom of the shell, and looked at his watch.
"There's still half an hour, let's wait!" Schroeder whispered to the Iranian youth next to him.
The Iranian youth watched with curiosity as Schroeder finished all this, and at this time, he was quite strange, how would such a large artillery shell be fired?
At the same time as Schroeder placed a single rocket, the other personnel were also in place.
Squad leader Kahn pushed the trolley and came to a corner of the street in the city, where the view was good, you could see the opposite side, and at the same time, the retreat route was also very spacious, and after the fight, you could immediately run away.
The command of the Soviets? Who knows where?
Look at each other's radios, of course!
All headquarters must set up tents and set up several antennas outside, as long as they shine on such places, they will be sure to be correct.
The Soviets did not set up the headquarters in the rear, because they had already confirmed that there could be no artillery in the city of Qazvin, no heavy artillery, so it was enough for them to arrange the sentries to prevent the Germans from touching them in the middle of the night.
After all, the Soviet army was the one who attacked!
"Maximum range." Karn said, "Here, reload the grenades!" ”
The young men behind him stuffed the grenades they were carrying into the rocket launch tubes, and Karn was carefully adjusting the angle of his rocket launchers.
In fact, it is not easy to aim at night, especially since they, as an infantry division, are not assigned to night vision devices, and it is impossible to aim accurately.
For them, it is best to be able to take out the other party's headquarters, and if they can't, they should also scare the other party so that the other party cannot sleep peacefully!
In particular, this 12-barreled rocket artillery can carry out a covering strike, and a single explosion will definitely be a piece.
Time passed little by little, and when the hands of the watch pointed to twelve o'clock, Karn's voice roared lowly.
"Launch!"
In the darkness, the muzzle of the cannon suddenly lit up.
The first rocket was fired inside the rocket barrel, and the red-hot gas pushed the rocket forward, but the center line of the rocket did not coincide with the thrust line of the gas, but deflected at a small angle, so that the rocket was not pushed forward all the time, but was also pushed to rotate like a shell of an ordinary rifled gun, which is the turbine rotation method invented by Germany!
After one went out, the flames illuminated the entire launch tube, and at the same time, the second rocket could not wait to fly out!
Behind the dirt slope, watching his watch reach twelve o'clock, Corporal Schroeder gently put the battery he was carrying into close contact with the wire.
"Whoosh!" This sound was quite light, and the tail of the rocket was already bursting with fire, and then left the launch position that had just been built, and the Iranian youth on the side were dumbfounded.
That's it? That's too easy, right?
Schroeder laughed secretly in his heart, electric shock is a common way, and even when necessary, this kind of rocket can knock off the protective cover at the back, and directly ignite the torch and fly out.
Like a giant sky-skimming monkey, this rocket, with a flaming tail glow, flew towards the opposite side at a considerable speed.
Soviet tanks were easy to produce, sturdy and durable, and others were tolerable, such as poor service life.
The service life of the T-34 diesel engine was very short, and now, there is already a tank whose engine is on the verge of overhaul, and it is necessary to replace the piston rings, cylinder liners, in order to reuse them.
In the case of a field war, it seems that it is a little simpler to change the engine.
The maintenance company of the 44th Tank Brigade was carrying out this work, and they had to rush to repair this tank with a weak engine overnight, but when the tank was designed, it was not considered by the logistics maintenance personnel, and it was very complicated to hoist the engine.
After more than two hours, the engine was finally hoisted out, and the maintenance personnel were all covered with oil.
"Slow down, slow down." The company commander shouted, he was still very happy to see the engine finally being hoisted out, don't hit other parts of the tank, if it is broken, they still have to repair it.
He took off his hat with his hand and wanted to fan it twice, but at this moment, the corner of his eye suddenly swept something.
In the distance, a shiny thing flew quickly, dragging a graceful arc, and when it took a second to make sure that he was not hallucinating, he exclaimed, "There is an attack!" Dodge! ”
