Chapter 112: Three Hundred Long Spear Qi Xiao Sen (3)

【112】Three Hundred Long Spears Xiao Sen (3)

Yao Fan did not expect that he could teach artillery geniuses, but as long as he could teach them to measure the range and check the shooting ruler according to the calculation number, and then adjust the artillery attitude according to the ruler.

There is a saying about mortars in the army, saying that even if you are a recruit, as long as you fight 2oo, you will become a marksman.

Although this is a somewhat general statement, it is almost as simple as a rifle-pointing shot if the battlefield situation allows the gunner to observe the opponent through an optical sight mounted on a mortar. As long as you use the ruler in the scope to measure the distance and distance of the target, and the high and low angles, then hold the number jù to check the ruler, and adjust the posture of the mortar according to the parameters of the ruler to fire.

So in general, mortar squads like to climb hills or hills, so that it is convenient to directly visually aim, and the pen and paper of the province are waiting for a mess. In this case, the target is the best prey within 5oo meters. Of course, if you can't visually detect the enemy, then you have to rely on scouts.

Yao Fan spent three days teaching eight students basic trigonometric knowledge and basic geometry, and talked about the principles and simple operations of mortars for another day, and then went directly to the artillery practice.

During World War II, the average training time of the mortar gunners of the Soviet Red Army was only 112 hours, 9 hours of training every day, and about 12 days later on the battlefield, the instructor had no time to talk to you about half a semester of artillery theoretical knowledge, only the first morning to review the trigonometric function, and in the afternoon of the same day, he touched the cannon on the spot and began to practice.

Generally speaking, Europe and the United States like this kind of training, while China pays more attention to laying solid theories. Not to mention artillery in China, it is to learn such things as rifle shooting, and you must first explain all kinds of principles, parts and components, gun decomposition, maintenance, etc., and use theoretical lessons to exhaust all the interest and curiosity you have raised before, and then let you touch the equipment.

This is especially true in the previous period when the economy was difficult and military spending was tight, just as the United States shortened the Air Force's annual flight training time by one month because of the economic crisis.

However, theory can never replace practice, and it is easy for some people to have an accident when they get started, but an intuitive understanding is definitely more useful than saying it ten times. In particular, Yao Fan did not come from an artillery background, and his knowledge of artillery came from his own military fan hobby, second, from the training given to him by the armed police who escorted weapons not long ago, and third, from a militia tutorial issued by the Nanjing Military Region during the revolutionary era, which gave a detailed introduction to the training of bazookas and mortars.

The 20,000 practice bullets purchased by Yao Fan were enough for training, as practice bullets, they were not charged in the front, but only in the back. Training on soft soil can be recycled IV. Chapter 112 Three Hundred Long Spear Qi Xiao Sen (3)

Fifty times, that is, picking up the cartridge that was refilled with black powder.

However, Yao Fan couldn't make a replaceable cartridge for training bombs at all—don't look at it as black powder, that kind of quality is not something that can be produced by a handicraft industry, and even if he barely makes it, he can't guarantee the quality at present.

Yao Fan took the trainees, carrying mortars and artillery shells, to a small hill more than 5oo meters away from Beiling Mountain, because of the live ammunition training, these soldiers who had walked through the queue, practiced fighting, threw training grenades, and had also shot and killed bayonets were slightly nervous, but they were not afraid. After all, they have seen much more of the world than most Chinese in those days.

Yao Fan carried the bomb on his back and asked the naughty-looking soldier beside him, "Gui Ba, where are you from?" ”

"The owner, I am from Jiaoxi Niu Village."

"Who else is in the house?"

"No, as soon as my father died, my aunt drove me and my mother out."

"How long have you been wandering outside?"

"I scrape oysters to eat, and I've been floating outside for half a year."

Gui Ba tightened the barrel of the cannon in his arms and pulled out a grass from the side of the road that Yao Fan didn't know: "Dongjia, this is rice grass, pick up the skin, and the velvet inside can be eaten." ”

Gui Ba brushed the skin as he spoke, revealing the white inner stem inside: "Boss, you taste it, it's a little sweet." ”

Yao Fan looked at Gui Ba's honest smile and put the white inner stem of the rice grass of about two centimeters into his mouth: "Well, it's a little sweet, and it's a little powdery." ”

"Hehehehe, yes, owner, I didn't lie to you." Katsura smirked happily.

"When my mother was there, she often took me to the back mountain of the village, where there was a big stone taller than a person on the top of the slope, and the side was full of rice grass."

Yao Fan smiled gently: "Where is your mother now?" Do you live in Yaojiazhuang? ”

Gui Ba stared blankly at the road on the ground, and strode forward: "Hungry." ”

Yao Fan didn't say anything more.

The group finally climbed the hill, which was about thirty meters high.

Yao Fan instructed the soldiers carrying mortars and shells on their backs, explaining step by step, guiding them to assemble the mortars.

"Before the first gunner sets up the cannon, the third gunner should dig the seat board pit well, and everyone see, dig such a soil pit with a side length of 3o centimeters and a depth of 1o centimeters."

"It is with the pit that the role of a fixed mortar can be used...... Now the first gunner put the cannon we had just assembled in the pit, put the barrel on it, and stuck the hoe firmly in it...... Insert the scope into the scope mount......"

"Now the second gunner knelt down on one knee facing the target on the left side of the barrel, removed the muzzle cap, and raised the high and low machine...... Work with the gunner to adjust the high and low bubbles and tilt bubbles on the scope to ...... horizontal"

"Now let's follow what we learned before, let's play one simply, and the target is the piece on the mountain in front of us Chapter 112 Three Hundred Long Spear Qi Xiao Sen (3)

Region. Yao Fan pointed with his hand and chose a simple target for himself.

Yao Fan was afraid of embarrassment, so he took the shell for a long time to make sure it was correct, so he took the shell, pulled out the transport safety pin, took off the safety cap, put the shell into the tube, and the shell smoothly sank into the barrel, "dang" a cannon sounded, and the anti-personnel grenade of charge No. 1O was shot out by the upright gun body at a 45-degree angle, hitting the target on the mortar position on the slope of Beiling Mountain 3oo meters away.

A loud noise startled Yao Fan himself, only to see gunpowder smoke rising from the opposite mountainside, a flash of fire in the white mist, and a splash of earth and stones.

"Comrades, this is the power of artillery shells, when you go to the battlefield in the future, your artillery will be the tomahawk that determines the victory and defeat, and wherever you shell, the enemy will be defeated!"

"Boss, this cannon is too powerful! You don't need to hit each other to hit it, it's really what you said about fighting cattle across the mountain! Artillery cadet Gui Ba gently stroked the dark green barrel of the Type 87 82, as if he was touching a beautiful big girl.

"Okay, now let's train with practice shells, and everyone will start to look up the firing table and adjust the gun for aiming according to the parameters I reported." Yao Fan did not delay for a moment, and began to teach while everyone was excited, in order to deepen his memory.

……………………

"Mortar training is the most taboo to repeat reloading, sometimes one has not gone out, and you stuff it in, that is, the artillery destroys people and kills, and the entire artillery squad will die!" After explaining the basics of direct aiming and instructing the soldiers to test fire a practice bullet by themselves, Yao Fan began to explain the most important lesson, in his opinion, the most dangerous thing about mortars is repeated reloading.

Historically, when the Soviet army fought against the German army, because the Soviet army required mortars to provide high-intensity fire support, the Soviet mortars frequently made mistakes in the noisy battlefield environment, and a large number of repeated ammunition accidents occurred, and there were more than 100 accidents in the nine months of the war, and on average, there was a tragedy of a bombing because of repeated ammunition every three days.

At first, the Reds did not know that this was a misoperation, thinking that the Germans had shells that hit the Red Army mortar positions directly, but later more and more surviving gunners reported that the cause of the accident was caused by repeated reloading, and the truth was revealed. The thought that there were still tens of thousands of mortars fighting on the front line, the Soviet army went crazy. It was not until the mechanical muzzle safety was designed and the barrel was installed that the root cause of the problem was solved.

Yao Fan changed his gentle temperament and warned the students sharply: "Everyone must pay attention! Be calm and composed on the battlefield! Otherwise, you will make a mistake alone! It will affect everyone to die together! ”

The reason why he was so worried was also because he had considered that the electromagnetic anti-reloading insurance installed externally installed by modern mortars was too high-end for this era, and Yao Fan was afraid that in case of black technology outflowing, it would cause unnecessary trouble, so he did not purchase it. He felt that with the intensity of the war in the 19th century, it should not scare the soldiers into reloading.

But he didn't have Chapter 112 Three Hundred Long Spear Qi Xiao Sen (3)

The Northwest Industry is required to install the kind of mechanical muzzle safety device of the Soviet Union during the war, which will affect the accuracy and range of the mortar due to the change of the mortar structure in the installation, and only Russia is still using it in the world, while the West uses photoelectric sensors, and China uses electromagnetic sensors, all of which are trying to avoid changing the artillery structure.

"Don't think that you can't make such a low-level mistake, the fierceness of the battle is beyond your imagination! When you are tired, nervous, tired and hungry, habitual actions will kill you! Once the first shell has a dumb fire, you habitually stuff the second shell in your hand, and the two shells will kill the whole class! ”

Yao Fan was almost emphasizing this point in his loudest voice.

"In the future, if you hit too many shells, some people may slack off, this is a hidden danger, don't think that the shells won't get stuck! Failure of the primer and dampness of the gunpowder often cause a dumb fire! If there is water or even mud in the barrel, it will also jam the shell, and if you stuff it at this time, it is equivalent to suicide! ”

"The second gunner must put his hand on the bottom of the barrel, and if he can't feel the vibration of the shot, he will never allow the third gunner to reload! Stop it now. ”

"The third gunner does not have the second gunner's command to release the bomb, and he is never allowed to fill the shell!"

Yao Fan's mouth was dry, his eyes looked at each soldier deadly, and when he saw them nodding frequently, he felt a little calmer.

"Now let's learn the right way to unmount."

Yao Fan ordered the fighters to lift the back of the mortar, and he stood on the side of the muzzle and wrapped the muzzle with both hands.

"See? The back is lifted up to allow the shell to slide out on its own, and the comrade in charge of receiving the shell holds it and pulls it out, and then puts it at a safe distance. ”
