Chapter 59: Countermeasures

PS: Today's three watches, ask for recommendation votes, ask for red.

The results of this book are very unsatisfactory, and compared to the previous book, the results of this book are very poor. Although Somalia does not have a much more sense of substitution than the Republic of China, it is gorgeous to ensure that this book will not be less wonderful than the Republic of China. The plots that everyone wants to see, such as stepping on the long and narrow island country of the East, will also be included in this book.

Gorgeous still hopes that everyone can support Gorgeous as much as possible, so that Gorgeous can put more thought into coding words.

――――The following text――――

The total combat weight of the tank is 36 tons, the crew is 4 people, and the hull is a welded structure. The turret is a cast structure, and the top armor is butt welded together with two D-shaped steel plates, and the turret is located in the middle of the hull.

The armament is 1 rifled gun with a caliber of 100 mm, the body of the gun is 5.6 meters long, the maximum firing range is 16 km, and the effective range is 700-1200 meters. The average rate of fire was 4 rounds / min. Equipped with high and low artillery stabilizers. The gun can fire grenades, tail stabilized armor-piercing shells and tracer high-speed armor-piercing shells, etc., with an ammunition base of 34 rounds. The secondary armament was two 7.62 machine guns and a 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun with an ammunition base of 3,000 and 500 rounds, respectively.

The operation is very simple, the commander controls the conning tower, uses the periscope to search for the target, when the target is captured, the turret is mobilized to indicate the target for the gun commander, and then the gun commander carries out accurate aiming and shooting.

Thickness of front armor: upper 120mm, lower 90mm, sides 90-150mm, top 30mm.

The maximum travel speed is 50 km/h and the maximum travel is 350 km/h.

This is the data of the Bossaso government tank that Farah gave to Li Lan, which is a very detailed data, but the data of this tank is not indicated on this data.

However, this iconic 100-millimeter rifled gun reminded Li Lan of a tank that was once popular in Shijie, the T-54. Although he does not know whether Somalia once had this model or a derivative of the tank, after comparing the data of many tanks on the Internet, he can basically determine that this tank is an earlier T-54.

And it was not produced by Soviet military factories, but by three other authorized countries, because the Soviet Union did not export this tank to Somalia.

In the information, Li Lan also got a copy of the information on the armored car, but this information is even simpler, so simple that Li Lan can't tell what kind of model this armored car is. There is only very simple data, and the data is weak.

Originally, when he heard that the Bossaso government army would come up with a strong offensive method, Li Lan was worried about it for a long time, but he didn't expect it to be just some old antiques. Not to mention that the attack of the Sentinel Cannon can completely destroy the armor of the unknown armored vehicle, even this tank is just a bulky target in front of the RPG bazooka with armor-piercing shells.

However, it is the artillery that poses a huge threat to the base, especially the nearly ten 107 rocket launchers that have come to support it, which is what makes Li Lan a headache.

Although this rocket launcher originated from China, it was too simple, and there were a lot of imitations, and the whole shijie was almost overflowing. Even if Li Lan wanted to scold her mother, she couldn't find a partner.

In the past, he relied on the surprise of the sentry artillery to eliminate the artillery of the government army, but now, will the other party give him such a chance?

Against tanks and armored vehicles it was possible to use armor-piercing shells, but against enemy artillery at long distances, he had neither the air force nor the long-range artillery units to compete.

"Assistant, the weishenme base can't even produce a mortar, now it's okay, even if you give me a bunch of RPGs, what's the use." Li Lan, who had never been able to think of a countermeasure, couldn't help but shout.

"Excuse me Commander, but a ground ranged attack weapon requires intermediate clearance."

"Then what do you tell me to do now, ten twelve-mounted 107 rocket launchers, it won't take an hour to completely destroy our defenses. How to resist the enemy's attack when the time comes. ”

"All the units on the construction list, are drawn up in accordance with the scale of the commander's development. According to the formulation of the base, the commander of the junior authority, can only build these types of weapons and equipment. If the Commander is unable to protect the base with this weapon, the base would rather be destroyed with the Commander, as the Commander's abilities have completely disappointed the base.

Weapons are a part of the success or failure of a war, but another important factor that determines victory is tactics. The upgrade mission was originally a test for the commander, and the base had opened a field hospital for the commander in advance, and it was Zuihou who gave the commander extra help at one time. If the Commander can't complete the test, the Commander has only himself to blame. ”

"The base weishenme chose me, and I don't know anything about the war." Li Lan shook her head helplessly.

"Chosen at random, the Commander drew that 1 in 6 billion odds."

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." The unhelpful answer made Li Lan's mood become irritable.

Go to the map, look left and look again. Because the sentry cannon had a great effect before, Li Lan couldn't help but focus on the sentry cannon on the city wall.

Half-ringing, he seemed to suddenly remember something, looked at the farthest end of the map, picked up the telescope on the side, strode to the elevator, and went straight to the top floor.

Before the telescope was used, a high hillside was faintly visible in the distance to the south. When Li Lan picked up the binoculars and looked at them, the general situation of the hillside fell into his eyes.

This small hill is located directly south of the base, spanning nearly two kilometers from east to west, about ten kilometers from the base, and nearly 100 meters high.

According to the rules of base building units, as long as they are within the map of the base, they can be built. Nearly half of the mountain is covered by the base's map, and it's only a kilometer or two away from where the government forces are. And it is still condescending, with a wide view and a very good terrain.

A very perfect set of tactical ideas instantly appeared in Li Lan's mind, and suddenly, the gloom dissipated.

Immediately returning to the console, Li Lan couldn't wait to ask, "Assistant, can I build a sentry cannon on that hill to the south?" ”

"Anything that is within the map of the base can be built."

"Okay, I've figured it out." Li Lan's face was overjoyed, and he immediately sat down on the console.

There are still nearly 10,000 base funds this morning, and another 7,500 base funds have come in at noon, and at present, he can build three sentry cannons in six hours, plus the 7,500 base funds that will be credited later, after six o'clock in the evening, he can build five sentry guns. Of course, each sentry cannon takes two hours.

Now that the idea has been decided, Li Lan must begin to think about where these sentry cannons should be built. The position is critical, it must be able to form a straight line on the enemy's artillery position, and there must be no blind spots for shooting, otherwise he will lose a lot.

However, the heavy weapons of the government army have not yet arrived, and the departure at dusk, coupled with the presence of tanks, will take at least eight hours to get here.

In order to prevent the government reinforcements from arriving and launching an attack after only a short period of rest, Li Lan had to build the sentry cannon within these eight hours. The most crucial part of this is to confirm where the government army will place the rocket artillery brought by the reinforcements.

The government army, which has already suffered a loss, will not give him the opportunity to be as good as before, and the other side will definitely put the rocket artillery on the firing corner of its own sentry gun.

And now there is another problem, if the enemy changes the direction of the attack! Although the southern city wall seems to be about to collapse, the sentry cannon on the city wall is full of deterrence, if the enemy chooses the east and west city walls as a breakthrough, then Li Lan needs to redeploy the sentry cannon.

"Ahmet, what is the enemy doing now?" Picking up the walkie-talkie, Li Lan asked Ahmed, who was on the city wall.

"Since the failure of the afternoon attack, the enemy has cowered and is now out of range of the sentry guns. Moreover, the enemy seems to be carrying out earthwork work at a moment's notice, and it is estimated that he is building an artillery position, and the specific situation needs to be further clarified. ”

At this moment, on the city wall, Ahmed replied while holding a telescope in one hand and a walkie-talkie in the other.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, outside the city walls, a large number of government troops gathered, and the dust was flying in the middle, and bags of sand were piled up.

"Are you sure?" Li Lan said.

"The enemy is numerous, and it is not very clear to see." Ahmad reluctantly said that he had been observing for a long time, but had never found anything.

"I'll see for myself."

After a short time, Li Lan came to the city wall, and in order to be able to see more clearly, he stood directly on the sentry cannon and picked up the binoculars.

In the line of sight, many government soldiers gathered together, behind these government troops, kicking up fine dust, and from time to time government soldiers carried sandbags from the crowd and stood in front of the crowd.

There are more than a dozen places in sight, as if it were a party.

The sky had become very dark, and what Li Lan could see was getting more and more blurry, and soon, he had to switch his telescope to night vision mode.

Half an hour passed, Li Lan watched motionless for half an hour, and just as he was about to give up, the government troops on the opposite side seemed to have suddenly reached dinner time, and the crowd around them dispersed a lot. That's when he saw the back of the crowd.

A big pit, although it can't be the same as the real situation presented under normal light under night vision, Li Lan can also quickly see that the other party is digging a pit, and it is also digging an ambush pit similar to a tank, and behind the pit, there is a slope that can be driven into it by tanks or vehicles.

"They are building artillery positions." Ahmed on the side also saw the situation clearly, "In the comparison of the military strength of the two sides, there is only one explanation for the enemy's painstaking construction of this kind of semi-fortification, and that is to build artillery for its own artillery, so that our sentinel artillery cannot attack." ”

Regarding Ahmed's analysis, Li Lan nodded sympathetically, the corners of his mouth curled, and said, "They will regret it." ”
