Chapter 163: Artillery Battle (2)
It can even be said that because the speed of the artillery sighting radar is fast enough, we have already completed the detection, calculation, communication, adjustment of Zhu Yuan, and fired the first batch of shells against the Vietnamese artillery before they have landed on our positions.
To put it simply, the shells that hit us have not yet landed, and the shells that our troops hit the artillery positions of the Vietnamese army have already opened fire.
And there is still a world of difference in the accuracy of this enemy shell......
The artillery shells fired at us by the Vietnamese troops were judged by their artillery observers on the basis of smoke and had not been corrected, but in fact, the target they hit was the artillery position where our troops opened fire for the first time, and the artillery on it had been transferred in time, and no matter whether the Vietnamese artillery shells were accurate or not, they would not pose a threat to our artillery.
Of course, if you don't hit it accurately and you happen to hit the artillery I'm retreating, that's a different story.
And the shells of our troops to the Vietnamese army...... It was completely different, these shells were fired according to the exact number jΓΉ, the error did not exceed forty meters (the accuracy of the Simberlin gunsight radar), and even the shells after the first launch could be corrected in time.
So there is no need to say much about the outcome of this artillery battle...... After a burst of artillery fire, the artillery positions of the Vietnamese devils were all silent.
Of course, because the artillery that hit each other this time was all howitzers with a range of several tens of kilometers, and the explosion points that hit the direction of the Vietnamese army were still very scattered, the front-line troops of our army could not observe whether these shells accurately hit the artillery positions of the Vietnamese army.
This is also a sad thing about artillery, after firing the artillery, not only can they not appreciate their masterpieces, but they don't even know whether they have hit the target.
But we can still judge from two points.
One is the observation of an artillery observer from a high place...... The judgment that can be made at this point is not very accurate. Because even if the artillery observers could see in the telescope, all they could see were a few flames that exploded in the Vietnamese positions. No one knows if there are Vietnamese howitzers and artillery in this flame.
The other is that it is more intuitive. That is, the artillery of the Vietnamese army stopped abruptly...... That's pretty much proof that we're getting it right.
This time this was the case, and the artillery in the direction of the Vietnamese army suddenly fell silent. This is obviously the role played by our artillery fire, otherwise the four artillery positions of the Vietnamese army in different positions would not have been so neatly silent.
So the fighters again burst into cheers.
In fact, now that we have artillery sighting radar, we have another way to determine whether these shells hit the target or not. In subsequent detection, if the previous enemy artillery position is detected in a short period of time, then it means that there is a deviation, otherwise it means that it has been destroyed.
At first we thought the battle was almost over, but it wasn't what we thought it would be......
"Battalion commander!" Just when there was silence in the air. Chen Weihua asked me, "Do you want to change positions?" β
This is the British approach, and the reason why they do this is that the artillery aiming radar emits electromagnetic waves to detect the target, and if the other side also has a monitoring device, it is easy to find its source from these electromagnetic waves, that is, to detect the location of the artillery aiming radar and attack it.
But we don't have to worry about this, because the Vietnamese army at this time did not have these equipment at all, and even they did not know that we had artillery sighting radar, or at this time, they were successfully confused by us and thought that our army's advanced telescopes were working.
Later I learned that the telescope trick actually worked, and the reason why it worked is funny. It's not because we let out the wind...... Originally, we thought it would be enough to let out a little noise in the army, just like we knew before. There are also many Vietnamese agents in the army, so it is easy to get this news to the ears of the Vietnamese army.
But what we didn't expect is that the current units of our army are different from those of the 79th self-defense and counterattack war against Vietnam, and the current troops have gone through several operations, several small-scale disarmaments and identity verification, and the Vietnamese army agents here have basically been wiped out.
Plus the fighters on the front line are well aware of it...... Leaking this news will directly affect the life and death of their front-line troops, so even if they know a little bit of news, they don't say a word, even if they don't say a word about their comrades hiding in cat's ear holes.
As a result, the news that we deliberately released reached the ears of the Vietnamese army one step later.
It is said that the commander of the Vietnamese army became suspicious when he saw that our artillery could shoot so accurately, and as a result, he wondered if it was the Chinese soldiers who reinforced the artillery scouts on such and such a high ground.
Actually, there is nothing surprising about this...... This is because the Vietnamese army and our army have always used artillery observers to climb high and look into the distance as the "eyes" of artillery, and even often fight for a commanding height.
In fact, not to mention the devils, even the artillery of our army, such as Wu Dengxiong, the commander of the artillery battalion, who has fought for more than ten years, said that he did not believe anything when he heard that there was such a thing as an artillery sighting radar.
So now for this phenomenon, that is, why the Chinese artillery is suddenly so powerful...... The Vietnamese commander, who did not have any idea of artillery aiming radar, would of course wonder if there was something different about the Chinese artillery scouts on such and such a high ground.
He guessed that it was just right, and then the spies of the Vietnamese army mixed with civilians took various targeted measures, such as tapping the phone, or making inquiries, etc., and finally learned two news: one is that the PLA has a new type of telescope, and the other is that a new code name called "Sky Eye" appeared on the phone.
The Vietnamese commander linked all these things together and soon "suddenly realized" it...... The Chinese military now possessed a new type of telescope codenamed "Sky Eye," and it was this telescope that played an extraordinary role in artillery warfare.
When I heard the news from our army's intelligence officers, I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, but I didn't expect that the soldiers arbitrarily gave the artillery sighting radar the nickname "Sky Eye", which is also applicable to telescopes.
These are all later words, and at this point I was thinking about whether to transfer the artillery sight radar...... Although this point is not necessary for now, for the sake of safety, it is better to standardize it from the beginning, otherwise we will suffer if the Vietnamese army has relevant detection equipment one day.
However, at this moment, a large number of cannonballs suddenly sounded in the sky. (To be continued......)
