Chapter 1262: AK in Artillery
"Is the target this time definitely going to be at this military station?" A Chinese officer in charge of fire support and logistics walked up to Ahmadi and asked.【,
"It should be here. We have been tracking this convoy for a long time. They are transporting neither ammunition nor fuel, nor even parts or other munitions. However, they have far more than the conventional escort force, and they move very cautiously.
I will never walk much in a day. There is almost no record of night marches.
Recorded. These abnormal behaviors attracted our attention. According to the intelligence from the 5th office, the Germans in the south seemed to have started to use new codes in the past two days, but not yet in the north. Then combined with internal intelligence or other information analysis
, this transportation team should be transporting new charade machines." Ahmadi said.
"Does the British man know about this?" the Chinese officer asked.
"I revealed some. And if we have extra ones, they want the British to take one too. In this case, it will help us retreat. Just imagine if the Germans knew that their convoy transporting cipher machines had been destroyed.
If so, what will they do? Although the British all have motor vehicles, they don’t have much fuel, and
Moreover, the distance they launch their attacks is relatively close, with the farthest mortar position only about 1,500 meters away from the target. Tanks equipped with machine guns and flat-firing artillery must enter a distance of about 500 meters from the target. And infantry even more so.
Penetrating to about 300 meters. They will definitely leave a lot of traces after this battle." Ahmadi sneered.
"You are so cunning. If you are not Chinese, I am afraid I will not cooperate with you. Otherwise, you may sell me one day. I will even help you count the money!" This Chinese officer codenamed Tianhuo
He grinned and said. "I understand what you mean. Your offensive force is pure infantry. The supporting firepower is the guys behind me. My position is 4 kilometers away, and no shell casings will be left behind."
After the battle, I have enough time to clean up the battlefield. After all, it only takes me a few minutes to complete the task. When you launch the charge, I can already retreat. When the Germans come to survey the scene the next day
, they will definitely find the British convoy. They will ignore me and your camel cavalry. Then we will take the opportunity to escape, right?" Tianhuo asked.
"Almost. If there is no problem, we will prepare. My camel team has also prepared some extra ammunition for you. You can fight one more round. Is there any problem with your communication vehicle? Our subsequent evacuation is entirely up to you.
After all, I only have infantry in my hands, and my supporting firepower and logistics rely on you and your radio." Ahmadi said seriously. "No problem. This is not the first time we have cooperated." The latter said with confidence.
The thing they want to take this time has a historical connection with China. The cipher machine known as the cryptic machine is an improved version of the cipher machine that China originally sold to Germany during World War I. This cipher machine made it possible for the Chinese to use the cipher machine throughout World War I.
Among them, the Allied Powers had nothing to do with Germany's coded telegrams. Now, when China and Germany are on the opposite side, this cipher machine has also become an obstacle that China must overcome. Although China knows its principle, it cannot
They know how to fight, but the Germans are not stupid either. They know how to change some of the internal structures of the cipher machines and add security measures. Therefore, for China, if it wants to decipher the German codes better and faster, it must
A cipher machine currently in use by the Germans. The action team of Ahmadi and Tianhuo came here just for this thing! In order to achieve this goal, China even came up with a new weapon.
"This is the fire support weapon the Army found for us? Isn't it just 12 seamless steel pipes?" Ahmadi recalled the first time he saw this weapon. It was simple, and could even be described as crude!
In a daze, he even thought that these were water pipes instead of a weapon. If there was another time traveler in this world, and if he had done some research on military affairs, then he would be able to recognize this weapon.
The weapon is known as the AK among artillery, a sharp weapon in mountain warfare. The favorite of the guerrillas. Together with the AK47 and RPG, it is also known as the 63-type 107mm rocket launcher! In Xu Jie’s plane, this weapon is the same as the AK
Like RPGs, it is used by many guerrillas. It is also the most pirated weapon. It is easy to produce and very convenient to use. Even if there is no launch tube, it can be launched with batteries and wires!
Moreover, the Type 63 rocket launcher is one of the weapons with the longest firing range among light weapons, with a maximum range of about 8km. Even the current range of this rocket launcher used by China is about 6 kilometers. Although the American 75mm light howitzer has a range of
It's a little farther and the accuracy is high.
But guerrilla warfare is all about quick battles. In addition, artillery strikes are often most effective in the first round, so for a guerrilla team, the actual combat effect of this kind of rocket launcher is much stronger than other weapons of the same period. In addition, in
In terms of maintenance, besides shells, rocket launchers are all
A launch tube is even simpler than a mortar. Generally speaking, there will be no problems. As for maneuverability, the advantages of the Type 63 rocket launcher are even greater. A 12-tube launcher can be placed on a half-ton level rocket launcher.
On the jeep, it can also be disassembled and installed on a single launch tube and
It is in a twin launch tube. Moreover, the weight of a shell is less than 20kg, and it can be carried by personnel when necessary. Moreover, the length and center of gravity of the shell are very suitable for carrying on the back, so this time in order to solve the problem of the amount of ammunition carried, Ahmad
Dee also specially used camels to transport some cannonballs.
"Start." James said after glancing at the luminous watch. A minute later, the muffled sound of an 82mm mortar being fired came from behind. And James' armored vehicle team also began to use 57mm artillery and machine guns to fire hundreds of rounds.
Target meters away, in just a few seconds, the British Rangers team opened fire at the pre-selected target.
Countless tracer bullets were flying in the air, and illumination bombs falling from the sky turned an area into daylight from time to time. The Germans seemed to be crippled in the first wave of attacks. When the British thought that the opponent's firepower had been suppressed, the British infantry
A charge was launched. The armored vehicle also slowly drove out from the dark night, firing while sweeping the firepower points along the way.
Suddenly, the dull roar of artillery came from a distance. Within a few seconds, a series of artillery shells fell on the attacking crowd. Looking from the dark night, James could see several vague figures standing on the half-track vehicle.
Operate a huge artillery! "This is a trap! The opponent actually deployed a medium-caliber anti-aircraft gun here."
Blank artillery!" In an instant, James fell into an ice cave. The distance between the two sides was only a few hundred meters. Being hit by an 88mm anti-aircraft gun at such a close distance would be fatal to both infantry and armored vehicles. The position
Huge fireballs shot up from time to time, and flying shrapnel killed British people wantonly.
"Without the British attracting firepower, I'm afraid it would be really difficult for us to get things." The sudden heavy firepower not only stunned the British, but also scared Ahmadi and others into a cold sweat. But the Germans
Finally, we have played all our trump cards first. This depot is not big and there should be no other heavy weapons. As a red signal flare rises into the sky, the 107mm rocket launcher finally shows its power!
"Just when we fell into despair, a flash of light suddenly appeared in the southeast direction. Dark red flames illuminated the sky. The flash lasted for a very short time, maybe just a few seconds. I thought it was an illusion at first, but soon
, dark red light spots rose into the sky and then fell towards the German military station, followed by deafening explosions from the night
The fierce attack instantly suppressed the German firepower. I never thought that the opponent's guerrillas would have such a weapon, and the amount of firepower projected in a moment actually caught up with a light howitzer battalion!" James
Later, he recalled that it was not until a few years later that the British knew that such a powerful weapon was actually made up of just a few pipes.
The accuracy of rocket launchers is not very good, not even as good as mortars. But the victory lies in the large number of salvos. In less than half a minute, four 12-tube rocket launchers fired 48 rounds. The intensive bombardment almost
The entire base was enveloped. The hail of bullets destroyed trucks, tore apart the stubborn resisters, overturned heavy artillery pieces, and set fire to tents and buildings. In less than a minute, the whole base was destroyed.
The entire German army depot became a mess. Then, the gunners began to reload for a few minutes. When the Germans recovered from the first wave of fire, the remaining people began to come out of the bunkers and rush towards the direction again.
When the weapons were fired, the second round of attacks came again! According to the Germans after the war, they seemed to have been attacked by a howitzer regiment. They called this terrifying weapon Skyfire.
Under the attack of more than 100 rockets, this military station with only 300 soldiers and less than 100 German troops guarding it finally completely collapsed. The remaining battle was uneventful, and the entire base was blown into the moon's surface. There were not many remaining.
The German officers and soldiers were completely stunned by this mysterious weapon. Although
Although the Germans were also working on rocket launchers, they did not field them at this time. Most officers and soldiers did not know about this weapon. They did not expect that rocket launchers could shoot so far and reload so fast. When the British and Ahmadi
After the troops rushed into the military station, the battle situation could be described as one-sided.
"Is this the thing?" Ahmadi opened a box with a crowbar, and something similar to a typewriter caught his attention. A technical officer on the side tested it and nodded after connecting the battery. "
Okay, take away a few of them, and if the British are interested, leave some for them and let’s leave quickly, maybe the Germans are heading this way now,” Ahmadi said.
