Chapter 104: The Last Way to Survive
The sky was completely covered with night, but the entire arsenal was brightly lit.
Under Kikwete's gaze, four dark-skinned soldiers, using a stretcher-like device, walked out of the house carrying two rockets.
"Old Quill, isn't there a launcher?"
Seeing this scene, Kikwete couldn't help but ask the old man next to him, and Old Quill hurriedly said:
"General, of course there are launchers, but because of the tight time, we just made the simplest single-launch launcher according to the manual, and the manual provides a variety of design drawings for the launcher."
"There are up to 40 rounds, which requires a lot of production time."
"Quick! Lift the launcher out! ”
Suddenly Kikwete suddenly realized, and at the same time, accompanied by the voice of old Quiel, I saw three black people carry out a metal structure with a right-angled triangular structure, the longest of which is the place where the rocket is loaded, the other side looks like it can be placed on the ground, and the last side has its own movable buckle and screw structure, which seems to be adjustable in height.
By adjusting the height of the third side, the rocket gets a different elevation angle, and then according to the ruler, a different range.
"Good, go to the proving ground!"
Kikwete nodded with satisfaction, and then with the flickering lights, everyone braved the night and came to the shooting range behind the arsenal, at this moment the target as a target was ready, and it was placed in the open space a few hundred meters away, a car that had been completely scrapped.
"General, because of the time constraints, we only produced two rockets."
"One of them is to test the power of the explosion, and the other is to test the range of the rocket, do you think it's okay?"
After everyone arrived at the test site, the elder Quill said to Kikwete, who nodded his head and said:
"Yes, let's do it! Test the power of the explosion first. ”
While Kikwete was speaking, Uncle Black over there had already fixed the launch rack to the ground, using a ground nail to fix the entire frame on the ground, so that the weight of the entire launch frame was the lightest and most convenient to transfer.
At the same time, the elder Quill introduced Kikwete and said:
"According to the instructions, such a launch rack can also be fixed in the body of a pickup truck or truck."
"In this way, the rocket can be pulled by the car to move, and if fire support is required, then stop and adjust the launch angle, and it can be launched immediately to cover the target site with fire."
"And you can also place spare rockets on the car, which can be loaded as soon as they are fired!"
Hearing Old Quiel's introduction, a light flashed in Kikwit's eyes in an instant, because he imagined that scene for a while, and suddenly felt that if he did this, his role on the battlefield could be said to be too great!
"I ordered, next stay up all night to produce ten forty-round launchers, and then attach them to trucks."
"Of course, other launchers of different sizes will also be produced."
"Rockets should also be produced as quickly as possible, do you understand?"
In the face of Kikwete's order, Old Quill nodded and hurriedly said:
"Yes! Checkmate! ”
While the two were talking, the blacks had already adjusted the angle of the launch rack and aimed at the broken car that was acting as a target five hundred meters away, while a wire extended from the tail of the rocket.
"General, please press the launch button!"
I saw that the strong man with a fragrant armpit trotted over with a roll of wire, looked at Kikwete and said with a flattering face, Kikwete was still satisfied with his hospitality this time, after all, this rocket launch was different from the previous gas tank test launch.
The gas canister is fused and ignited at close range, while the rocket is fired using electricity and is carried out behind a low wall twenty meters away.
"Good! Then I'll light the fire! ”
Kikwit nodded, and everyone retreated behind the low wall that served as cover, and Kikwitt looked down at the button in his hand, and then at the rockets standing in the distance.
"Click!"
At that moment, he pressed the launch button!
Tanzania is not a highly industrialized country, so electricity is still relatively lacking, not to mention the arsenal located in the far suburbs, the power supply can only ensure the front unloading place, and the workshop that is working, as for the test site, it will be dark here, and the rocket launcher just now is also illuminated by various flashlights, if a black man stands in such a semi-darkness, if he does not smile, he can't see anyone.
But this moment, this moment when Kikwete pressed the button!
It's dawn!
"Boom!"
With the sound of the tail flame spraying at the tail of the rocket, the light instantly illuminated the range of ten meters nearby, and with the turbulent air current, the rolling up dirt and dust, and the slight tremor of the ground, the light took off!
In the darkness, I saw a dazzling light, which was launched and taken off at an unimaginable speed, heading straight for the target a few hundred meters away!
"Poof! Poof! ”
At that moment, there was so silence behind the low wall that even Kikwete could hear the sound of his own heartbeat, but in the next second, his heartbeat seemed to have stopped for a moment!
"Boom!"
Under the gaze of all the black people, a few hundred meters away in an instant, a violent explosion occurred!
The firelight is so dazzling!
"Hahaha!"
"It worked! Our rockets succeeded! ”
"It's terrifying!"
The next second, all the black people behind the low wall stood up, and with the flashlight flashing, they couldn't help but start cheering and celebrating, but the next second!
"Bang! Yes! ”
With a muffled thud and a scream.
I saw a black man fall backwards to the ground in response, accompanied by a solid plop.
Suddenly, all the blacks who were cheering and celebrating behind the low wall were dumbfounded!
"Damn! It can't be shrapnel, right? ”
"Quick, see if he's still alive!"
Accompanied by Kikwete's voice, several flashlights swept over, and the strong man squatted down to check it, then stood up and said to Kikwete with a smile:
"I didn't die, I just fainted after being smashed."
"It's unimaginably powerful!"
"The explosion can actually throw this thing hundreds of meters away?"
"It's horrible!"
As the strong man spoke, the other black man had already picked up from the darkness what had just smashed the black man, and it was a steering wheel!
Kikwete, who was standing there in an instant, couldn't cry or laugh directly!
Kikwete still knows his subordinates very well, sometimes they are simple and impulsive, they want to celebrate when they are excited, cry when they are sad, and call their mother, just now the explosion just appeared, someone stood up, if it is on the battlefield, this is the way to die!
"Alright, put him here to rest and conduct the second round of range experiments!"
Then, with Kikwete's voice, the blacks left the low wall and began to get busy again.
Old Quill checked the launcher fixed on the ground, and after making sure that there was no problem, he began to adjust the inclination of the launcher, while several other blacks carried a second rocket and loaded it onto the launcher.
After a few moments, the launch pad was adjusted, and Kikwete waved his hand and said:
"After entering the bunker! Ready to launch! ”
In an instant, the blacks ran behind the low wall, and the next second they heard a scream!
"Ahh Damn it! ”
"What is this? Squish"
"Huh? Be careful! ”
Obviously, the black man who was stunned just now was placed behind a low wall, but the person who rushed over directly trampled him under his feet, and the people who had fainted were all trampled directly and screamed.
Kikwete could only sigh and walk behind the low wall.
"Launch!"
Accompanied by Kikwete's self-talking voice, he pressed the button in his hand at the same time, and the dazzling fire appeared again in an instant, but this time it was different from the last time, the last time it was almost level flight, and this time the fire rushed directly into the sky!
Seeing this scene, Kikwete breathed a sigh of relief, and with the cheers that rang out again at the scene, he said to the strong man:
"Prepare the car, let's go and have a look!"
"Old Quill, how many kilometers have you adjusted your range?"
After all, although the area of the arsenal is not small, the length and width of the test site are only about one kilometer, and the flight distance of the rocket has exceeded at least ten kilometers.
At this moment.
Hearing Kikwete's voice, the strong man hesitated, although his brain was relatively straight, but this night, Kikwete was going to leave the heavily surrounded arsenal, in fact, he didn't particularly agree, in case he encountered any rogue weapons, then the person in charge of security would be finished!
And old Quill said without thinking:
"Fifteen kilometers!"
"This is also the maximum effective range indicated in the manual."
"Although you can shoot farther, according to the description in the manual, the dispersion and accuracy are completely uncontrollable."
For this answer, Kikwete is still very satisfied, such a large caliber can be launched at such a distance, which is enough for the current Tanzania, and even for those rebels, it can form a sufficient range suppression.
After all, they are equipped with a small number of 107-caliber rocket artillery for heavy firepower, and the maximum range is only 8.5 kilometers!
"Very good, let's go!"
Kikyu said with a little pause, and the strong man hesitated:
"General, it's better for you to stay in the arsenal."
"I'm going to see the results?"
In response to this statement, Kikwete waved his hand and said:
"If I send you to see it, the last message you brought back to me is nothing more than words very strong, very powerful, very terrifying, and so on."
"It's impossible to tell from the inside how powerful it is."
"Besides, at present, the surrounding area is completely under our control, and there is no other armed force at all, at most it is just a bit of a beast, nothing to fear."
"Let's go!"
In the face of Kikwete's persistence, the strong man couldn't refute it, and a moment later a convoy set off!
Although it was only a short distance of fifteen kilometers, because of the darkness of the night and the fact that it took nearly forty minutes to drive in the wilderness, everyone finally found the explosion point!
"Shhh
The explosion point is located in a grass area, and at this moment, within the nearest 30 meters around the explosion point, the grass turf has been lifted up, and a large crater with a depth of at least two meters and a diameter of six or seven meters has been blown out of the ground in the middle!
"Amazing power! Hahaha! ”
At that moment, Kikwete couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed out loud in the darkness, while the other blacks were also hahaha, echoing in the thick of the night, scaring the frightened animals to run farther away.
"Prepare to go back to Dodoma and bring me a sample without a charge!"
Finally Kikwete commanded, and Old Quill nodded and said:
"Yes!"
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Kikwete finally returned to the Ministry of Defense with the sample.
Today's headquarters is already the general command of the Tanzanian National Insurgency War, and it will not be quiet even at night, and there are countless people working, communicating and directing the battles on the front line, and mobilizing troops.
"Pedal Pedal Pedal T
At this moment, Kikwete, who returned to the Ministry of Defense, walked briskly in the aisle with an unconcealable joy on his face, even the footsteps sounded a little cheerful.
Behind him, on the other hand, was his personal guard, who was now carrying a rocket on his shoulder, hurrying along.
"Let's go! Excuse me! ”
The experience of the duo attracted a lot of staff who came and went, and even many of the staff sitting in the office were dumbfounded, and at the same time, the rockets that were more than two meters long were quite difficult to walk and turn around in the corridor, and Kikwete's personal guards could only keep greeting and apologizing, after all, as soon as he turned around, the rockets might be directly called to other people's faces.
Finally, Kikwete stood at the door of the General's office, and the room was brightly lit.
"Tuk Tuk!"
"Please come in!"
With Kikwete's knock on the door, the general's business sounded inside, Kikwete pushed open the door and walked in, and also held the door very intimately to prevent it from closing automatically, so as to prepare for the entry of the rockets behind.
At this moment, there are also many people in the general's office, and the general is checking something with a staff member, originally he thought that it was just an ordinary staff member who knocked on the door, and he didn't look up to look.
But after a second, he seemed to feel something, as the room seemed to be quiet for a moment.
At that moment, he subconsciously looked up, and then was directly stunned!
I saw Kikwete standing not far away, his face full of joy and excitement, and the guards behind him were holding a rocket, and the tip of the rocket was about to poke the chandelier above!
"Huh? This is the mysterious product that Wang Ye gave us? ”
"Rockets! At the Canton Fair, the kind of dual-purpose rockets for agriculture and firefighting? ”
"Tsk! This caliber, I'm afraid, has already reached one hundred and twenty mm? ”
"But there's no charge in there, right? If it is charged, if it suddenly goes off fire, then it is estimated that our entire building will be reduced to rubble. ”
"Those rebels, I guess they're going to die laughing, right?"
I saw that the general who was originally sitting stood up and walked over, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion and said, I could see that his mood instantly became very good, otherwise he wouldn't be joking.
"You're right, it's terrifying, we've tested it."
"And the effective range can reach an astonishing fifteen kilometers!"
Hearing this number, the old general frowned instantly, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, and then he patted Kikwete on the shoulder and said:
"Well done, Kikwete, worthy of my fancy person, and lived up to my expectations!"
"It is the most correct choice for me to let you go to Huaxia for further study and study."
"Order the arsenal to produce rockets and gas canisters with all its might, and with the range suppression of rockets, I think it's time to start a vigorous counterattack!"
"Also, contact that good brother of yours and go ahead and buy the product!"
Kikwete, who was in an agitated mood at the moment, nodded heavily, and then respectfully saluted and said:
"Yes! Your Excellency, General! ”
Kikwete then left the General's office, and the General looked at the rocket that had to stand in the corner because there was no place to display it, and a battle plan suddenly appeared in his mind.
Meanwhile.
Just when the Ministry of Defense of Tanzania was formulating a counterattack plan and the arsenal was staying up late for production, more than 200 kilometers away, in the northern part of Tanzania, I saw that this mountainous area was densely packed with garrisons, full of iron and blood and the smell of gunsmoke.
Further north, in the meager moonlight, you can see the traces of explosions, craters, corpses and blood that have not had time to be cleaned up.
"Commander, if you really can't do it, let's surrender!"
"The losses are too heavy, there are more and more deserters, otherwise we will all die!"
"And as long as we surrender, they will definitely accept it, and you will definitely be the commander of the legion at that time"
In the headquarters, there were only two people at the moment, and it was the commander of the Northern Army of Tanzania who was sitting, and it was an officer under him who was speaking, and this officer was still hanging his arm at the moment, and it was obvious that he had been shot.
However, before the officer's voice could fall, the regimental commander who was sitting upright roared angrily:
"Shut up, are you going to betray the country?"
"Like the enemy, betraying our great Tanzania?"
"Or have you already colluded with the enemy?"
"Damn it!"
As soon as these words came out, the officer panicked in an instant, and hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"Nope! Absolutely nothing! I didn't! ”
However, before he could continue to explain anything, with the movement of the legion commander waving his hand, the soldiers who rushed in directly escorted him down, and at the same time covered his mouth, leaving only the sound of whining, and no other sound at all.
Inside the tent, the regimental commander sighed, if he could surrender, he had surrendered three days ago, but the problem was, he couldn't surrender, at least he couldn't!
Because in the past, he and General Lokaha had many contradictions, and the trouble was very unpleasant, if he surrendered, even if he would not be liquidated during the war, and wait for the war to turn out, he would be a dead end!
Therefore, while there is still military power in hand, it is better to resist to the end!
That's how there is a way to live!
