"Remember, you must ensure that you are at a safe distance when launching. The cost of training a gunner is much higher than that of a rocket. If there is an emergency, you can just throw away the launcher. The most important thing is the people!"
Although the launch of rp3 rockets seems to have no technical content. It is nothing more than turning on the power and igniting the rocket. However, such a simple and crude method still has certain dangers. Therefore, during the training, Shepard repeatedly gave instructions to those skilled shooters. I tried hard to emphasize this point, and the black uncles finally listened to it, so the situation like the first day of practical operation where the black uncles took a lighter and tried to get a hand on it because the rockets could not be launched never happened.
The rp3 rockets provided by South Africa are all 60-pound models. They are larger and more powerful than the 25-pound models, but the range is not much improved. Whether it is 25-pound or 60-pound, its effectiveness The range is about 1200 meters.
In addition to the range, the accuracy of rp3 is also quite impressive. The hit rate from 300 meters away is not even 1%. But it is a rocket after all. According to a certain island military expert, since the hit rate of one bomb is only It's less than one percent, so the hit rate of a hundred bullets must add up to one hundred percent!
Furthermore, Shepard didn't intend to use this thing for precise assassination work. It would be better to mount a 106 mm recoilless cannon and load a high-explosive round.
What he had to do was to fire a volley at their target from a thousand meters away from the Portuguese military camp or position, and then run away.
In the Middle East, facing the Zionist entity that occupied their own land, the Lebanese ruthlessly responded with rockets to the latter's aircraft and artillery. Those long-range rockets that flew farther and hit more accurately once once It has become a nightmare for the Zion restoration entity. After all, no one wants these rockets loaded with fragmentation warheads to land on their foreheads.
The same goes for the Portuguese army. They are far away from the country and have no support from the people in the colonies. Their morale is not high. Coupled with this kind of continuous harassment and attacks, the morale of the soldiers collapses faster. Therefore, this kind of It doesn't even matter how many casualties are caused at any time. As long as the shells fall on the ground, it is a ruthless mockery and blow to the Portuguese army.
After selecting more than a dozen shooters and carefully training for more than a month, Zabi was also prepared for the Portuguese's response to destroy his homeland.
He sent guerrillas to sneak into the traffic arteries early to investigate. After selecting the target of revenge as a small checkpoint hanging alone outside the city, he immediately began his revenge plan.
First, he sent his guerrillas to dress up as civilians, and then transported the rockets and parts bit by bit. Then he started digging tunnels near the village outside the checkpoint, and gradually approached the checkpoint. After more than a week of construction, , the guerrillas successfully dug the tunnel one thousand meters from the checkpoint.
Then, the guerrillas went out day and night, each one like a prairie dog, expanding and covering up the tunnel entrance little by little. When the hole was large enough, they began to pass through the narrow tunnel, inserting rockets and guide rails little by little. Carry to the entrance of the cave.
Then, everyone hibernated quietly in the tunnel until the sun set and the sky became dark. The inspection post withdrew the patrol team outside, and the sentry in charge also began to take a nap.
Then, the guerrillas jumped out of the hole and quickly began to assemble the launcher.
It was a disposable shelf made of wood that could be installed with twenty launch rails. However, due to quality issues, the shelf would basically be damaged after one round of launch.
The guerrillas assembled the launcher very skillfully and adjusted the shooting angle. Then they began to load the rockets onto the rails one by one. Finally, they connected the wires to the exhaust pipe at the rear of the rocket. The whole process. The guerrillas are all familiar with it. They have practiced it hundreds of times in the training camp, and many of them even have muscle memory. Even if the sky is dark and visibility is very limited, the movements do not slow down at all.
After completing all this work, they retracted into the tunnel, and then the shooter responsible for launching silently turned on the power.
Immediately, the rockets on the pylon were activated one by one, and then, driven by the propellant, they flew out of the guide rail at a set angle and rushed into the blue sky, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, and then landed on the inspection various positions of the sentry.
The Portuguese soldiers and servants at the checkpoint didn't even know what was happening. Then, explosions began to occur one after another in the camp, and the explosions were so rapid that some veterans even mistakenly thought that the air force dropped bombs on them. On the head.
The entire camp was suddenly in chaos, and the explosions disappeared as quickly as they came. In just over a minute, the entire checkpoint was quiet, with only the courtyard and buildings covered with debris and craters.
The shocked Portuguese soldiers immediately began to confirm the losses, and then they discovered that the explosion seemed to be nothing more than heavy thunder and small raindrops, because except for three unlucky servants who were scraped to death by shrapnel and a Portuguese soldier with a butt injury, there was nothing else in the camp. loss.
But they didn't dare go out to check. After all, who knew what was hidden in the darkness outside, but the commander quickly called for reinforcements.
After firing the rockets, the guerrillas moved much more swiftly than the Portuguese army. They blasted the entrance of the tunnel calmly, covering up the tunnel's entrance, then returned to the village, and then evacuated under the cover of night, waiting until the next morning. When a large group of troops sent by the Portuguese army arrived under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, the guerrillas had already reached their own stronghold 30 kilometers away and fell asleep happily.
After a careful search, the Portuguese troops who reinforced the checkpoint finally found the culprit of the explosion. Looking at the scrapped launcher and the bent and deformed guide rails, a platoon leader who led the reinforcements showed disdain. .
"What, I thought the guerrillas had some new tricks, rockets, and used them to attack us? He's not afraid of flying warheads to blow him up into the sky!"
The platoon leader didn't think there was anything wrong with the rocket attack at all. It seemed like the guerrillas had no chance to survive. It would be better to argue about why the checkpoint allowed the enemy to come within a thousand meters. This was a serious dereliction of duty. If the person in charge of the checkpoint was not his brother-in-law, he would have sent him to a military court!
The platoon leader didn't know what this rocket attack meant!
