"What's going on? Prime Minister... Prime Minister!" Xiang Shaolong chased him to the door and asked loudly, "What's going on?" Looking at Xiao Letian's back in the distance, Master Long knew that it must be something very bizarre and unbelievable, and it must be unexpected. Otherwise, Xiao Letian's character would never have such a weird expression. bikuw
"What kind of weird thing is this? I'm so curious..." Just as he was talking, the adjutant behind him suddenly shouted for instructions, "Report to the commander-in-chief! The artillery position has completed preparations for firing. Please take off the last hot air balloon!"
Mr. Long raised his hand and looked at his watch and nodded, "Agree! Tell the Air Force observation post to wear more warm clothes, bring more fuel, and bring more high-calorie food. Maybe they will have to spend a cold and sleepless night at high altitude tonight." It’s night!”
"Before the sun sets, the hot air balloon and artillery positions must make many parameter adjustments for blind firing..."
"It's sir!" The adjutant took the order and left.
Xiao Letian's military management philosophy has always valued firepower. The artillery of the Army has always been the king of firepower output in war. He believes that he cannot forget this big killer.
However, limited by the road traffic and logistical supply capabilities of this era, field artillery did not dare to have a caliber that was too large. One was that it was difficult to transport, and the other was that ammunition supply was also troublesome.
In the case where the caliber cannot be increased without limit, the only way to improve the efficiency of artillery firepower output is to focus on both accuracy and all-weather aspects.
If you are fighting in the plains during the day, you may not feel the power of the Chinese artillery. You think it is basically the average level in Europe.
But if you are fighting in complex mountainous areas, hilly areas or even in the field, you will know how powerful the Chinese artillery is.
The third Doraemon rose into the sky. This time, there were three observation sentries rotating in the observation basket. Each one was wrapped in three layers of thick leather clothing. The top one was fox skin underwear, and the middle one was wolf skin. Lined with a bearskin coat on the outside, and even the head was covered with an exquisite mink fur hat, covering all the facial features except for a pair of eyes.
No wonder other branches of the military affectionately call the air force the beast in disguise. Just pluck out the skin of an animal and send it to the capital to sell it for thousands of taels of silver.
The flames were blazing in the furnace, and the hot air was blown into the interior of the balloon. The huge buoyancy dragged the hanging basket up to the sky. There were three long fixed cables, tied to the foundations of the three stone houses. No matter how strong the wind was in the sky, Don't be afraid of blowing it away.
The fuel is coke, which is pure fuel after carbonization of top-grade anthracite. It is light, high-calorie and has no smoke. The corner is filled with various spirits, chocolate, jerky, cheese, rock candy and other high-calorie foods. , whether you can survive tonight depends on these foods.
The balloon is gradually rising, everything on the earth is gradually getting smaller, and God's perspective begins to appear in front of the observing sentry.
"Open the map, locate the artillery position...the flag bearer signal, and prepare the artillery position for debugging!"
At an altitude of fifty meters, the balloon was restrained by three taut cables, and everyone adjusted the air pressure to maintain the hot air balloon at this altitude.
The ground and sky communicate entirely by naval flags at the moment, and at night there is a series of light signals conveying information. This is the eye of artillery flying in the sky.
"Five degrees west of true north...the firing angle is thirty...standard high-explosive artillery shells...three artillery bursts..." a semaphore came from the hot air balloon. In the artillery position below, the three cannons were loaded and adjusted at angles in accordance with the requirements of the observing sentries. , boom boom boom is three shots.
Three clouds of gunpowder smoke suddenly exploded at the edge of the distant forest. The observation sentries on the balloon nodded and drew an area on the map. "This is area A1, five degrees west of due north, and an elevation angle of thirty..."
"The following is a shooting experiment in the A-2 area, five degrees east by north...the elevation angle is forty-five..."
The artillery position has three batteries of artillery shells. These three guns are not randomly selected, but a high-performance artillery is selected for coordinate marking at the three nodes in the middle of the head and tail.
Soon the A2 area was also marked on the map... Everything they were doing now was completely prepared for night battles. Although it was not easy to detect a cavalry sneak attack in the dark night, at an altitude of fifty meters, the sentries could rely on their height advantage. Use dim starlight and moonlight to detect your enemy's motives.
What's more, once the frontline army detects any change, it will instantly fire off bright fireworks as illumination bombs. As long as the sentry on the balloon detects the enemy's position, it can quickly locate it on the map and then feed the signal back to the artillery position at its feet.
When the enemy appears in area A, the artillery does not need to observe with the naked eye. It only needs to adjust the direction of the muzzle and shooting angle according to the coordinate points marked in advance, and then load and shoot. In this way, the artillery seems to have eyes in the dark, reacting quickly and striking accurately.
This program seems to be very simple in principle, but what is difficult is the cooperation between high-quality soldiers and friendly forces. These observation sentries do not have to rush to the front line to fight the enemy desperately, but they can still get higher rewards than the front-line soldiers. Military pay, and promotion faster.
why is that? And why are none of the soldiers who fought tooth and nail in hand-to-hand combat unconvinced? In fact, the key lies in the two words knowledge.
It is absolutely impossible to become an artillery observation post or an air force soldier without a diploma issued by a Ryukyu university. At the very least, you must be proficient in algebra, calculus, English, German, etc. Without these basic knowledge, you cannot get this porcelain. live.
The work on target coordinates was tense and orderly. Gradually, the entire battlefield was gridded on the artillery map. A1, A2, B1, C3... each area was marked with the direction, angle, elevation and other data required for shooting. , the radius of fifteen miles around the Vladivostok defense line has become a bombing area with no blind spots.
"The coordinates of the Dingwu area... three consecutive shots!"
Boom boom boom, the monotonous sound of artillery came to mind again. Smoke suddenly rose from a dense forest in the northeast of the battlefield, but no one expected that the bombing actually hit big fish, and hundreds of Cossacks rushed out of the woods. cavalry.
"There are enemy troops! The enemy is lurking in the northeast... Adjust the shooting angle, fire three times in D-4 area... and then immediately adjust to area C-5, and then adjust to C-2 area after three consecutive shots..."
Without any hesitation, the artillery officer on the ground immediately gave the order. There was no need to look at the battlefield at all. The soldiers just mechanically adjusted the artillery according to the parameters. After a while, more than 40 artillery pieces began to roar, and the crowd of attacking cavalry suddenly screamed in agony.
This was a group of vanguard units that sneaked into the northeast, belonging to Fumanov's Second Army. There were two companies in total. Originally, they were hiding in the woods waiting for the rear troops to gather. Unexpectedly, they were beaten three times. gun.
