Chapter 3567: Recoil

After Lin Rui and others occupied the nearby high ground, the enemy's mortar position could be seen, and the information of the detected target was immediately reported to the people of the Canavian Army.
"Receive the target bearing 9-7, distance 874, firing angle correction 11 close position, wind speed 2, humidity 3, can shoot at any time." A soldier of the Canavian Army turned to Crazy Horse.
"Sure it is the position of the enemy's mortar?" Crazy Horse asked in a low voice.
"I have confirmed that our people have reached the hillside. Mr. Rick asked us to destroy the enemy mortars, and then let all the hidden firepower points fire, and coordinated with the guerrillas and the Orumi resistance organization to launch a counter Charge and retake the previous positions." The Canavian soldier replied wirelessly.
"Okay, fire immediately, 10 hurried shots." Crazy Horse nodded. Rapid fire refers to firing a specified number of shells in the shortest time at the maximum rate of fire. During the rapid firing period, if the firing yuan is not corrected, the shell will be fired. This method mainly provides sufficient firepower in a short time. The disadvantage is that the shooting accuracy is not enough. Crazy Horse was born in the U.S. military, and Americans have always had a lot of money and respected firepower first. After locking the target, it was just a shot of artillery.
The secret society militants suddenly heard a sharp sound drawn from the air in the dense shots of beans in front, and they were suddenly confused when they heard the sound. Then there was a loud noise from the position-"Boom! Boom!" Accompanied by a few bursts of explosions, the mortar positions and related personnel erected on the steep were bombed one after another, and human body fragments were mixed in the splashing earth and rock. , Bursting with red juice like a cracked watermelon. Suddenly, red light flashed, shrapnel and flying debris of mud, sand, earth and rocks splashed around.
Mortars are very old. They existed during the First World War, but they have not been eliminated to this day. Even the strong US military uses them every year. Because its value lies mainly in its unique ballistic performance, which can hit targets that other artillery can't hit. Cannons and howitzers have relatively large dead zones because of their relatively low trajectories, while mortar shells go straight up and down into a high parabola, so the dead zones are very small.
Not only because of the high-throw ballistics, the mortar has an irreplaceable purpose, being able to hit the target behind the shelter, but also because its shells fall almost straight, the fragments scattering effect is better than that of cannon and howitzer shells.
The grenades fired by cannons and howitzers have a cylindrical shape with a spindle head, and they land diagonally when they land. Due to the shape of the projectile, there are more fragments on the side of the projectile body, and fewer fragments on the front and rear, so the fragmentation area is roughly a horizontally wide and longitudinally narrow rectangle. In addition, the grenade of the cannon and howitzer landed obliquely, and some fragments were bound to be blown into the soil and did not work.
The fragmentation kill world of a mortar is very different from that of a rear-mounted gun. We all know that the trajectory of a mortar is a high parabola, and the shell falls almost straight when it hits the ground, so its fragmentation area is similar to a circle. And because the mortar shells fall almost straight, unlike rear-loaded shells, some fragments will be exploded into the soil for waste, and its shrapnel can be evenly spread around. Therefore, the fragmentation area of ​​the mortar shell is approximately circular.
Landing on the opponent's mortar position, which was also unprotected, was really blooming on all sides, and it exploded. It also suffers from the fact that the mortars in the Canavian Army are all 60mm caliber. This 60mm light mortar is just a little guy. It is not too powerful, and is more powerful than grenades and grenades. It cannot deal with armored targets, nor can it destroy solid fortifications, and can only create a very shallow pit on the hard concrete road.
But the effect is good when it is used to hit people. A shell has a killing range of at least 15-20 meters. It is shot quickly in a short period of time, and there are splashing steel and fragments everywhere. The artillery positions armed by the secret society were also temporarily arranged, and there was no time to build any mortar shelters.
Lin Rui observed with a telescope on the side of the hillside while shook his head in a low voice, "It would be great if it had a 120-caliber heavy mortar. The firepower alone could smash them."
The shells drew a graceful arc in the sky, from the top of the enemy's head like a patter of rain, smashed toward the enemy who rushed up-"Boom!" There was another shining red light, which was a burst of misery. Huh, wailing; another burst of flesh and blood. The mortars armed by the secret society are in chaos, really chaos.
Because large-caliber mortars are more difficult to transfer than machine guns, and the area of ​​personnel exposed during operation is larger, they are actually more dangerous than machine guns. The mortar position is also the key target of the opponent's reconnaissance phase, and the key target of the opponent's fire preparation phase. Once one's own position is breached, the mortar position is immediately a high-risk area. The secret society armed forces immediately realized when they encountered the shelling, this is the position exposed.
The secret service commander's face was blue. "The assault team was killed by the opponent, and they took advantage of the high ground and provided accurate shooting data to their artillery. Damn, what is the source of these people? Pass my order. ..."
Before he finished speaking, someone came in immediately to report, "Our front position was attacked by hidden fire from the enemy, and the enemy is fighting back with all its strength and launching a counter-charge."
"Counter-charge? They dare to launch a counter-charge against us?" The armed commander of the secret society almost jumped, "Isn't it just a company?"
"It doesn't look like it. Moreover, we have a large number of hidden firepower points of the enemy on our flanks and sides. It is estimated that they have been pressing and not firing before. Now our people are strangling by three-sided cross fire. Our two squadrons Can't withstand the pressure and are already requesting reinforcements. If there is no reinforcements, they are requesting a temporary withdrawal to avoid aggravation of losses." The secret agency militants reported.
"We can’t withdraw. If we withdraw, all our previous efforts will be wasted, and we have to fight for time with them. Once we withdraw, it will take a while to capture the frontier. In this way, the Canavian Army will be able to Come back in time!" The secret society armed commander groaned, "Send people to support the temporarily tight area, let them rely on the existing conditions to stabilize first, and then try to organize an offensive.
"Understood!" The armed personnel of the secret society stood up.
At this time, all the hidden heavy firepower in the front area of ​​the Canavian Army had opened fire, as if a huge thunder suddenly sounded. The rain of heavy machine guns and rockets volleyed through the air with a unique and frightening roar and piercing sound, like a red and hot fire arrow. The mortars that wiped out the enemy's artillery also shrank back, focusing on the infantry armed by the secret society, setting off a flare in this small area of ​​crossfire. In the blink of an eye, the steel splashing in the sky once again set off another wave of death frenzy toward the enemy's fire position with suffocating heat!
