Chapter 575: The Roar of the Ciric Organ (Gal. 10)
If you've ever been an artilleryman, you'll know about shooting meters.
If an artillery wants to hit the target, it needs to take into account many factors, such as shooting test data and meteorological metadata, the selection of ballistic models, the selection of thrust data, and the identification method and accuracy of the projectile drag coefficient.
To make an ordinary artilleryman, taking into account so many factors, it is impossible.
Therefore, the units that develop artillery will measure their artillery in advance, sort out some measurement data, and then use the rigid body six-free ballistic model to compile and calculate the firing table, so that a firing table is compiled.
The shooting table is the treasure of artillery, and you can find your own shooting elements by comparing the current data with the data on the shooting table.
In later generations, computerization has been realized, as long as all kinds of data are input into the fire control computer, it can quickly calculate the emission elements, the calculation is quite accurate, and even the factor of the earth's rotation is taken into account.
However, this era is not good, even the weight of the rocket artillery that has been compiled has some bullet coefficients, so that the shooting of rocket artillery will bring a certain error.
Therefore, if you want to hit the target better, in addition to relying on the calculations of the senior staff officers of the artillery regiment, you must also conduct a test firing.
These rocket launchers mounted on the tracked chassis have been mechanized adjusted, and with the determination of the firing elements, the organ-like device of the rocket launcher slowly rotates and adjusts to the exact position.
"Attention, a test firing, ask the division headquarters to confirm the impact point." The regimental commander of the artillery regiment shouted.
A test shot!
"Whoosh!"
Rocket artillery relies on its own power to fly out of the launch tube, not like ordinary cannons, relying on the thrust of the propellant, so the launch of rocket artillery is not as earth-shaking as ordinary cannons.
With the command, the operator pressed the button, and the rocket launcher was fired normally, and the rocket at the tail ignited, pushing the entire missile body, and with a whoosh, it jumped out of the launch tube, just like the monkey.
At the same time, there was a fire in the rear of the launch tube, and there was smoke in front of it, and the launch of this one alone obscured the entire launch vehicle.
Drawing a graceful trajectory, the rocket flew towards the target, ten kilometers away, on the beach off the coast of Calais!
Rockets fly quickly in the air, and the power of rockets is not as fast as artillery shells, so many people can catch them with the naked eye.
In the armored troops here, Dietrich stood on his tank, watched the rocket fly with a telescope, and then splashed down 300 meters in front of his position, killing several British soldiers who were arranging on the opposite side, and immediately became very angry.
"The bearing is normal, the distance is one kilometer off!" Dietrich shouted: "Tell the commander of the artillery regiment that if they can't fight accurately, when this battle is over, give me a salvo, a salvo, a salvo at once!" ”
The strong sea breeze is constantly blowing to this side, and their shooting angle is too small, and the effect of the wind makes them have a range deviation of one kilometer, which is simply an unforgivable mistake!
Dietrich was furious.
"Look, what's that?" Montgomery had already stripped off all his clothes by this time, yes, he had stripped them all naked, and even the grass-green briefs inside had fallen off and gone into the water, which was a burden.
He was gulping down a glass of wine from a small flask he had with him, which warmed up his body and increased his strength.
On his side, a soldier was also hurriedly undressing, but when he saw the explosion of a rocket behind him, he immediately shouted.
When he saw that it was a rocket, Montgomery's face suddenly changed: "Quick, everyone, get into the water immediately!" ”
At this time, Montgomery had already thought of something.
Get into the water, get in the water!
Montgomery took the lead, throwing down his flask and running towards the sea.
Stepping on the sea water, although it is summer, but after all, it is still morning, the sea water is very cold, his hairy little legs step into the water, he feels the coolness, under this condition, swimming is not a good choice.
However, they had no choice, and when the Germans' armored forces arrived, they either fled or died, and there was no possibility of resistance at all, because that would be to die.
Historically, hundreds of thousands of Anglo-French troops were all fighting under the armored forces of the Germans, and there was no possibility of counterattacking at all, let alone now, the armored forces of the Germans were even stronger.
Montgomery guessed correctly.
The distance deviates by one kilometer! This made the artillery commander blush, and he immediately recalculated the firing elements, raised the elevation angle of the launch tube, and then gave a new order.
All bazookas, shoot together!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" The 40-tube multiple rocket launcher began to be launched at a rate of one second, and the rockets flew out of the launch tube with a tongue of fire, and the second one next to each other followed suit.
It's quite a grand spectacle, and everyone who sees it feels strength and confidence, and it's a brutal magnificence.
At the back of the launch tube, flames continued to burst out, and the thick smoke covered all the launch vehicles, and soon, the entire launch position was nowhere to be seen, and only rockets could be seen coming out of the smoke.
If artillery is the god of war, then MLRS is definitely Zeus among the gods! In a short period of time, a large amount of ammunition is poured out to completely cover the opponent's position, this is the duty of MLRS, and it is also the most terrifying thing for the opponent!
One rocket after another, piercing the sky, forming a huge formation, flying in the direction of the beach!
If you have experienced an ancient war, this scene is like a phalanx of bows and arrows in an ancient war, shooting a large number of arrows together, this is the roar of the Ciric organ!
In the later history of World War II, the German troops were quite afraid of the Katyusha, and now, the German version of the Katyusha, for the first time on the battlefield, was put into use on a large scale, which made Montgomery's memory fresh and the entire British army changed color.
"Quick, quick, quick!" At this time, Montgomery had already run forward more than twenty meters in the seawater, his body had already floated in the seawater, and he was swimming rapidly, and at the same time, in the interval between swimming, he looked back and looked at the terrible scene like the end of the world.
When the opponent's first rocket came, he expected that the opponent's rocket was not to hit the covering troops behind his own side, but to wipe out all the soldiers who planned to retreat to the beach!
