Chapter 427: M forty-six cannons

"You want an artillery to hit a warship?" Lena Fox felt at first Zhou Zhoufeng was crazy? But after asking the details carefully, she felt that it was more appropriate to consult professional artillery personnel.
The 'Aurora Corps' is now a hegemon in the Caribbean Sea. His Majesty does not say that there are plenty of talents, but anyway, there are manpower in all aspects. In particular, after the capture of the "Inkley" military advisory group that originally assisted Dialgo, it made up the last shortcoming.
In fact, the head of the advisory group, Marshall, was an artilleryman. He was once a professional artillery officer. The Lord Legion asked him a strange question-how to use artillery to hit an 'Arleigh Burke' destroyer.
Cannons hit warships? Such things haven't happened for years. There are so many things in this Aurora Corps! The last confrontation between large-caliber artillery and warships dates back to the Second World War period, which has been anecdotal many years ago.
However, Marshall still solves the problem of His Excellency the Legion in a professional manner. The first question to ask is: How far is the battle?
Singapore's White Reef is stuck in and out of the Singapore Strait, which is only about ten kilometers wide. White Reef is stuck in the middle of five kilometers, which means that when Lassen entered the strait, it would not be more than 2.5 kilometers from White Reef.
"No more than 2.5 kilometers? Then you need an artillery that is large enough and can shoot directly. In this case, what kind of mortar is not considered, how can it be a cannon type. It must be enough for warships. Injury, the caliber cannot be less than one hundred millimeters. There are not many artillery that meet the requirements. Well ..., actually, tank guns are better. "
Marshall gave the first choice, but this was rejected by Zhou Qingfeng without hesitation. The tank was not a low-value item. He gave another requirement, "It must be an older artillery, a less valuable one."
"An older cannon?" This gave Marshall a problem, and the cannon was almost eliminated this year. Military attacks were either launched from the air or blasted by large-caliber self-propelled artillery. But large-caliber self-propelled artillery is obviously not old-fashioned.
However, the Cuban Army is a relatively old-fashioned army, equipped with a large number of antique-grade weapons. Marshall really found Zhou Qingfeng in the arsenal for a large-caliber cannon that met his requirements-the Soviet-style m46 130-mm cannon.
This thing is a classic artillery produced in the 1950s. It has a long range, high accuracy, high power, and a rich variety of weapons. It has been equipped and used in many countries in the world. The most important thing is that this kind of artillery in the Cuban arsenal has been in existence for decades. No one has touched it for more than half a century. It is absolutely old and definitely low in value.
"It is very dangerous to attack an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer sailing on the sea, even if it is unguarded. Be wary of such a war machine with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons. Things. Its revenge is done in seconds.
Since it was attacking at night, the first flare was needed. Because the m46 has an infrared night vision device, but it has been in stock for decades and has been broken for a long time. At night, the gunner can't see anything at all.
Next, the resistance of the ‘Ali Burke’ destroyer will be lifted. As an anti-aircraft destroyer, it has a strong anti-aircraft firepower, but its mk45 127-millimeter gun against ground attack is not a joke.
Therefore, after the flares hit the sky, the fire control radar used to destroy the naval gun with the anti-explosive grenade is the same thing as the drum bag on the bridge. These electronic devices are quite fragile. Basically, as long as they are rubbed, the touch will be finished.
As long as the radar is destroyed, the entire destroyer will become blind, and the people on the ship basically can only watch you stab it. Modern destroyers do not have thick armor, so armor-piercing shells can fire at will, and must be worn. It's best to knock out its engine room first, then hit whatever you want! "
"Can the anti-aircraft fire on the destroyer intercept the shells?" Zhou Qingfeng was afraid that he might find it difficult to get an artillery and it was blocked by others.
In this regard, Marshall shook his head very surely: "Although it is an anti-aircraft destroyer, 'Arleigh Burke' cannot intercept shells flying at high speeds at close range. The radar does not respond so quickly, so don't worry!
After listening to Marshall's commentary, the whole attack process didn't seem difficult. However, an m46 cannon should be equipped with a nine-person artillery group. Now it is not easy for Zhou Qingfeng to complete the loading, aiming, firing, reloading, and reloading.
"The high-intensity exercise is enough, I believe I can still do the job." Zhou Qingfeng was eager to try and asked to learn how to fire immediately. As a result, a special artillery squad was formed, and the most experienced gunners in the entire 'Aurora Corps' were transferred to teach His Excellency the Head of the Corps.
Thanks to Zhou Qingfeng's ability to 'different talents', the theoretical learning process went smoothly, and repeated exercises were soon conducted. After becoming familiar with the complete artillery firing process, he began to fire high-intensity live ammunition.
In order to improve Zhou Qingfeng's actual combat ability, Lina Fox even ordered someone to use a small steamer to transform the bridge model of an 'Arleigh Burke' class destroyer, allowing him to conduct shooting training at different distances and in different environments.
Zhou Qingfeng practiced for about five days. With his super stamina and recovery ability, he killed seven or eight hundred artillery shells. Sometimes his high-intensity exercises all night, his arms became red and swollen, and he had to rest for half a day during the day to recover.
It is so puzzling that His Excellency the Commander of the Army is so unworkable. Even if it is strictly confidential, the head of the army like Katerina knew about Zhou Qingfeng's weird behavior. Humni really couldn't help being curious, and ran to the seaside shooting range where Zhou Qingfeng was shooting and asked, "Asshole, what secret do you have to hide from me?"
Zhou Qingfeng was sweating heavily for artillery training, and waved at the side of the turret to signal that the other members of the artillery group should leave first. He said with a lazy smile, "I already knew that I couldn't hide it from you, always wondering when you would come to ask me?"
There are too many weird places on Zhou Qingfeng. At least he has repeatedly shown his ability to be 'smart' in front of his companions. The sudden burst of firepower is absolutely abnormal. It seemed that he was willing to say that Katerina was standing upright and waiting for him to continue.
"When I complete this task, I will explain it to you ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Can you? But you, butcher, and Minsk. You are all my best friends, and I cannot live without this world. Open your help. "Zhou Qingfeng said.
Catalina snorted and said unpleasantly: "That is to say, Lena Fox has long known your secrets?"
"Uh ... yes. Miss Fox is smarter. She was the first person to notice that I was abnormal."
"You mean I'm stupid?"
"I didn't say that."
"But you mean that."
"I'm very wronged ..."
After making many unequal treaties to Hanni, Zhou Qingfeng returned to the real world of Bai Jiao with an old antique artillery and fifty rounds of various types of artillery.
It was almost two o'clock in the morning, the night was dark and the sea breeze slowly. The USS Seventh Fleet 'Lassen' destroyer Aegis destroyer protecting Princess Ocean is coming fast. An unexpected battle is about to begin. (To be continued.)
