Chapter 507: Rocket raid

Kenterite is a medium-sized city in Gansu. It is located in the center of southern Gansu. Although it is not large in scale, it has a prominent strategic position. Lin Rui and the others arrived in this devastated city with fifty mercenaries in several troop trucks.
The war has caused great damage. Farmland on the periphery has been destroyed and houses collapsed. The originally spacious roads in the city are already in a mess. On the roads lie many corpses that have not had time to clean up, many burning buildings and serious The broken billboard, under the gray sky, Xiao Suo was like a doomsday scene.
Members of the liberation organization and mercenaries in the city are busy building fortifications, preparing to resist the next stage of government attacks. No one paid any attention to the corpses, and in fact they had no time to deal with them.
A seriously wounded black soldier with only one eye left, curled up behind the concrete shelter on the street corner. He whispered something in the local dialect, maybe it was a prayer, maybe it was talking to himself. No one can understand, and no one knows whether he is still sane.
Lin Rui's heavy military boots stepped on the pavement covered with broken glass and collapsed buildings, and the air was full of gunpowder and burnt smell. They found the liberation organization headquarters located in the city.
There was a hustle and bustle in the headquarters, and everyone was busy nervously.
"Hey, you guys anymore?! Go to the north, we must add more roadblocks there. The government army is coming soon!" A mercenary Rui and others walked over and said, "Hey, what about you? Which team are you from?"
Lin Rui, the mercenary's Gurkha scimitar, smiled slightly, "Are you from the Gurkha team? Where is Surya? Take me to see Surya."
"Chief Surya has just gone to inspect the ambush spot on the east side, you can talk to me if you have anything to do." A black man with a weapon walked over. "I am a colonel of the armed forces of the Gansu National Liberation Organization. My name is..."
"Okay, Colonel!" Lin Rui waved his hand, "I can't remember your names. Our team is also an independent combat team, not in your combat sequence, so it is not under your command. But I need The more detailed the enemy’s intelligence, the better."
"Well, I know who you are. The commander has already told me that you are coming." The black colonel nodded. "What do you want to know?"
"We need complete information about the government forces, where are their camps, who is the commander, and the basic information of the personnel and armed forces." Jiang An black man said, "How long have you been at war with them?"
"Probably since yesterday afternoon, it has been going on for a long time. But the whole city is still under our control, and their attacking rhythm has become slower and slower. I guess it should stop until the evening. The colonel replied, "Their main direction of attack has been completely blocked by us, and it will cost a lot to attack."
When I was really talking, there was a sudden explosion in the distance, followed by a series of explosions, and the ground was shaking.
"It's not like their attack is slowing down." Lin Rui shrugged.
"Damn it, those artillery pieces again." The colonel patted the computer dust on his head, a little angry, "These guys have been bombarding us because of their own guns. Even though their accuracy is poor, but It also caused a certain amount of loss. In fact, our casualties were caused by these artillery fires in the city."
"The government army has artillery?" Lin Rui frowned.
Jason thought for a while, "It sounds like multiple rocket launchers, but it's not a large one. It's probably a 107 rocket launcher."
Usually, people will AK-47 assault rifle, RPG-7 rocket launcher and 107mm rocket launcher as the three most famous conventional weapons in the world. Although the psychological warfare department of the US military has hyped up through the media that these three weapons are "low-tech, low-cost, and low-quality personnel." But in the Vietnam War and the Iraq War, these equipment played a huge role.
From a tactical point of view, the AK-47RPG-7 and 107mm rockets have their own division of labor. For targets 300 meters away, only 107mm rockets are simple and practical, cheap and reliable weapons. Front-line US officers and soldiers who have fought 107mm rocket launchers on the battlefield are generally in awe of this simple-looking Eastern rocket launcher. The US military in Afghanistan and Iraq paid great attention to the collection of these three weapons.
In fact, the 107mm rocket launcher is a highly user-friendly boutique artillery, and various parameters have been repeatedly optimized. First of all, the rocket is designed to be 18.8 kilograms, and one person can carry one, and it can withstand long-distance marches in complex terrain. Not only is the total weight light, but it can also be quickly disassembled and combined. The weight of a single part after disassembly does not exceed 30 kg.
Adults can walk on their backs. Even if it is assembled, one person can move it.
And this rocket launcher may be the most suitable heavy weapon for guerrilla warfare and special forces in the world. The rocket launch tube is 0.9 meters long and is supported by a tripod. It weighs 23 kilograms and has a range of up to 8.5 kilometers with high accuracy and great power. A muscular special forces soldier can carry this single-barreled rocket launcher and two artillery shells to the launch point alone, attack the enemy's key targets from a long distance, and then safely withdraw.
So when they heard that the government army on the opposite side had this weapon, Lin Rui and Jiang An immediately realized that there might be a problem.
Lin Rui asked immediately, "Did they have this kind of weapon when you were fighting the government army?"
"We haven't encountered it before. We always thought they didn't have artillery like us. So we suffered a lot this time." The colonel shook his head.
"That's right, it should be from Morningstar." Lin Rui whispered to Dow Jason, "Can you judge their approximate range."
"From the range, the maximum range of the rocket launcher is 8.5 kilometers. These people should not be too far away." Jason replied.
Lin Rui nodded and said, "Since we met, we will go and pull out this tooth from Morningstar and follow me."
"Hey, wait, where are you going? Are you going to take away their gun positions?" The colonel frowned. "But we have to strengthen the fortifications and we can't get anyone to cover you."
"Boom!!!" First, there was a mess of artillery fire, and a nearby building finally couldn't bear it and fell to one side, raising a lot of dust and smoke.
Lin Rui shook his head, "I didn't say that I wanted you to cover, Colonel. Take your people to build a defensive defense. My people will take off these rocket launchers, which is considered a meeting ceremony for you.
"Hey, but...oh, damn!" The National Liberation Organization's colonel wanted to say something, Lin Rui had waved his hand and rushed forward braving the gunfire. The colonel was stunned with anger, but he was helpless.
