Chapter 327: The Hope of Existence

Fight or not. This has become the biggest problem that Hou Dasheng is facing now. There is no possibility of division of troops to attack two places with only more than 80 people. But whether it is a frontier position or an artillery position, these are positions that must be attacked. The existence of any position may bring back the Rwandan army trying to cross the river.

What's even more troublesome is that Kagame, who contacted Hou Dasheng and the others, is becoming more and more anxious. No country has the resources and logistics for long-term combat in any of the nine countries participating in the Congo. Simply put, whether it is Rwanda, Chad, or Uganda, it is almost at its limit.

They only have the ability to launch another attack, and the rest is the stalemate between the two sides. Then they work hard to dig out the natural resources that originally belonged to Congo on the territory of Congo, otherwise they would come to Congo with guns and cannons to do what?! The losses of the war must be made up, right?!

"It's okay to start, but we need the support of artillery." The crane finally pointed to the frontier position and said in a deep voice: "We can ask the mine protection team to knock out the artillery position in Chad, which is relatively simple. But we need the support of artillery, and we must destroy a company responsible for the garrison of the other side."

Hou Dasheng pinched his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Where can I go to find artillery for you?! There are no artillery in Rwanda now, at most there are some blasters, which is pretty good."

The fat dog pursed his lips and said nothing. He also knew what Hou Dasheng said. Artillery and other technical troops have not appeared in the Rwandan army yet. At most, they have some blasting hands holding RPG combat. No matter how many other heavy firepower support troops are, they will be gone.

If there were artillery soldiers, they would not be pressed tightly by the Chadians on the other side of the river and could not move. It was because there were no artillery soldiers that their attacks and smuggling failed several times. They were blocked by the artillery fire and machine guns on the opposite side and were driven back, causing heavy losses. Kagame then thought of Hou Dasheng and his mine protection team.

Giant Wolves and the others cannot draw out now. They are now responsible for attacking the other party's logistics supply line. At the same time, they have to fight with some unknown mercenaries from time to time, and their tasks are heavier. Even if they can draw out, they will not play a big role in this frontal impact battlefield.

"The distance between the artillery position and the frontier position is about two kilometers. There is a second-line position in the middle, and the depth is not very large..." The crane looked at the standards on the map and said in a deep voice: "If we want to take it down, we must obtain heavy firepower support, and it is best to be mobile heavy firepower. Or we can quickly strike firepower..."

Hou Dasheng thought about it for a while and suddenly said softly: "107, can they get 107?! The kind of 107 produced in China!"

"107?!" The crane was puzzled for a moment, and then he suddenly woke up! 107, it is undoubtedly the most suitable to use in this area! 107 has always been called the "three artifacts of guerrilla warfare". Many people think that it is exaggerated and a bit of a flattering meaning.

More people think this is probably formed by most fabricated jokes. But in fact, whether it is easy to use or not depends on sales. During the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, our own 107 was built at that time. If it is not easy to use, the feedback from the front-line troops was not good, then we would never have created so many 10,000 doors.

According to limited statistics, the 107 that can be calculated in about two thousand years include exports, counterfeits, and second-hand ones, with a total of 200,000. From this figure, it can be seen that the popularity of this weapon is. Moreover, this kind of artillery has been in the ace troops of the Chinese Ministry until the 1980s before withdrawing from the stage of history.

In the era of mechanized artillery and rocket launchers, 107 does seem to be much behind. But one thing is to note: mechanization requires cooperation with transport vehicles. However, transportation vehicles require cooperation with road surfaces. What should I do if it is a non-plain, desert areas, and jungle areas?!

The so-called backward and advanced equipment are always relative rather than absolute. For example, crawler armored rocket launcher, is this advanced?! But how can you fight against jungle guerrilla warfare?! What about the cost?! Where is the road transportation?! You also have to send troops to protect your launching troops and vehicles.

You can launch a coverage strike on fixed positions, hills and plains. But how to fight in desert areas and jungle areas? Moreover, your enemies are not fools and they are moving people. The areas covered by your firepower are not necessarily guarding for them. They will escape!

But when they attack you, the relatively portable fire support vehicle of 107 is very useful. Accuracy doesn't matter, as long as it is covered, whether it is harassment or as a prelude to the attack, it will cause a direct blow to the enemy, and its portability and ease of operation are also one of the reasons why it is popular.

"General Kagame, can you get 107 now? Yes, it's the kind of 107 produced in China." Hou Dasheng quickly picked up the phone and contacted Kagame on the other side: "Four vehicles, I want as much ammunition as I have! Also, I suggest you can prepare this weapon on the other side. I believe it will play a great role in your attack!"

Hou Dasheng knocked his head and sighed at his negligence. As a Chinese, it was shameful that he did not consider the weapons of China! How did the Chinese troops start?! Guerrilla warfare! At this point, the Chinese troops and the troops of other countries have different experiences.

The smart Chinese can personally experience the saying "actual combat effectiveness is higher than anything else" in many frequent guerrilla wars. Therefore, for a long time, you will see various weapons and equipment, with inexplicable rusticity.

However, this kind of weapon that looks extremely rustic can often inexplicably exerts huge power. For example, the early conscience-free cannons, powerful explosive packs, grenades in the border areas, and various landmines that make the enemy so painful. Hair thunders, chain thunders, thunders in thunders... There is even no iron shell to make the charge empty with stones and make stone thunders. Of course, according to the current saying, those can be called thunders.

During many battles, the Chinese troops developed an instinct to consider the actual combat effect first. They were happy to get new weapons, but after they got the new weapons, they first dismantled them, and then sent them to the troops. Waiting for feedback and summary after the troops were summarized, the final version must be adapted to China's own version of weapons.

For example, the 107 was first made based on the Soviet 130 rocket launcher. Like its predecessors, it initially needed cars to volley as vehicles to exert firepower coverage. But soon, we discovered that it was not suitable for problems such as mountain warfare and jungle warfare.

Therefore, the development of new rocket launchers was put on the agenda. Soon, it was detachable and transported by jeep. The ammunition could be carried by infantry to the front line position, and the firepower covered by fire was developed. Compared with its predecessors, it seemed lighter and more suitable for combat in a variety of areas and under terrain.

It can be transported by manpower, which has played a huge role. This has made many vehicles unable to enter the area and has become its position. A piece of ammunition of less than 20 kilograms makes it more convenient to transport. Camel horses can be taken, and people in the mountains can carry them. It can even be fired separately from the vehicle.

Of course, what is more important is: this thing is cheap! The market price of a 107 12-bar rocket launcher is less than 30,000 US dollars, while the price of a rocket is only about 900 US dollars. Bulk purchases can be even lower.

A complete 6-door 12-barrel 107 rocket launcher company can complete a salvo in 9 seconds. After 20 seconds of flight, the 72 rockets will be launched to bombard the enemy's positions within 5 to 20 kilometers at a frequency of 8 rounds per second. This is equivalent to the fire density and strike effect of a 122 howitzer battalion or four 6-door 100mm mortar company that performs rapid fire.

But how much is the price of a 122 howitzer?! 400,000 US dollars! You also have to train, equip gunners and pull vehicles. The shells are not cheap, and one shot is more than 300 US dollars. According to the general calculation method of 6 to 8 guns as a battalion, a 122 howitzer battalion will cost 20 to 3 million US dollars to buy a cannon.

Therefore, no matter how you calculate it, the 107 is more suitable for the African battlefield from cost-effectiveness to operation or firepower advantages than artillery.

"We have no relationship with China..." Kagame quickly called Hou Dasheng, and he said helplessly: "And, where can I find so many 107 rocket launchers at the moment?!"

When Hou Dasheng heard this, he was immediately overwhelmed. Without firepower support, he could not call him at all! In desperation, Hou Dasheng could only call Giant Wolf, hoping that he could think of a solution.

"107... This one can be found, but it is estimated that the price is not cheap." The giant wolf pondered for a while and said to Hou Dasheng: "This money is quite a lot."

Hou Dasheng spread his hands and said, "Then we have to make trouble too! Otherwise, this battle will definitely not be able to continue. I have only over 80 people crossing the river now. If I want to deal with an artillery position, I have to deal with a frontier position. Without artillery fire support, how can I fight?! Even with artillery fire support, I am very mysterious..."

"I'll go to Kagame's camp now, and I'll organize this attack." The giant wolf was silent for a while and said, "Since you want to play a big game, we might as well cooperate to fight. I'll find a way to get 107 questions. Give me a week!"

What can Hou Dasheng say?! He could only nod, and there is no other way to do it now except to wait.
Chapter completed!
