Chapter 4555: Shelling threat
"It's almost here, the building under the mountain is." Sausage Hui reported.
Lin Rui took a binoculars to observe, and then nodded, "Almost all the outside is a concrete structure, and there are high walls inside. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fortress."
"We have RPG rocket launchers and recoilless guns. I really want to open a hole, it's easy." Scarface whispered. "I'm just a little weird, they should have discovered us, why didn't they act? Isn't it strange to keep quiet in this situation?"
"I think so too. In fact, there are guards on the high tower on the labor camp. At this height, they should have discovered our convoy early." Sergey whispered. "Maybe they want to wait for us to move first. Boss, do you want to put the gun on the mount and give them a look."
"Since they are coming, I'll give them a cruel one. Bring that big American product here!" Lin Rui waved.
What he was talking about was the K6 mortar equipped by the US military. Because of the main equipment of the US military, many people think it is the US mortar. But in fact, this gun was produced by Israel. The official name of the Israeli military should be the Soldam K6 mortar.
This is a 120mm mortar, with a combat weight of 144.7 kg, a marching weight of 326.82 kg, and an effective range of 201-7239 meters. This gun was captured in Western Sahara. It should have been provided by the US military to the joint counter-terrorism force, but the joint counter-terrorism force was captured by terrorists.
When Lin Rui and the others made a surprise attack on the terrorist base camp, they seized it from the terrorists.
Because mercenaries generally rarely use such large-caliber heavy mortars, they usually use light mortars with a caliber below 100 mm. So this gun became a very interesting trophy, and it was not used at all in ordinary skirmishes.
This time it is not purely to show off force, but to use powerful arms to cause psychological pressure on the enemy. So Lin Rui had to take out the bulk as soon as he spoke. Several mercenaries who were responsible for gunnery heard this. They were going to have a lot of work.
"You get out of the way, you and you stay and let me fight." Kuaima personally went into battle and arranged for a few mercenaries to erect the 120mm mortar. He personally packed the main ammunition for the 120mm mortar.
In general mortars, the shell is carefully loaded from the muzzle, and then let go and let it fall along the barrel. When the bottom fire of the shell hits the firing pin at the bottom of the barrel, it will fire. However, such a 120mm mortar is usually fired by pulling due to the large muzzle shock wave, which can better protect the crew members.
The white marking on the barrel is for easy aiming. But if you want to hit accurately, you still need to have a certain amount of experience in the aimer. Since the mortar is a curved gun, its aim is very special. The left and right directions are easy to fix, mainly the distance direction. Generally, the distance division is determined according to the curved shooting characteristics of the gun, which is an angle disc, and how many meters each scale represents . Each gun is set at the factory, and it needs to be calibrated frequently.
When shooting, set and fine-tune the left and right directions, and then adjust the muzzle to this distance scale according to the target distance, even if it is aimed. Large-caliber mortars can also change the projectile of the shell to modify the firing distance. This calculation is slightly more complicated. Generally, a few shots will be launched and adjusted gradually before the final hit.
However, this time they are mainly used for deterrence, so it is not too important to fight accurately, as long as the power is huge, it can deter the opponent.
Because there is no separation from the labor camp, they used a set of observation and shooting. Simply put, they used the scope of the gun to aim at the target, and calculated the ruler according to the target distance, plus the temperature, medicine temperature, wind direction, and wind speed. , Height difference and other factors, you can shoot.
After aiming, Kuaima beckoned two mercenaries to stand on the mortar seat. The mortar relies on the huge seat plate under the barrel to transmit recoil to the ground, so that the mortar does not have a complicated anti-recoil device, and the weight will be very light. The ideal state is of course that the seat plate is in full contact with the ground, but it is obviously too clumsy to dig the seat plate pit, usually using the recoil of the first few shells to smash the seat plate into the ground.
In order to ensure that the seat plate does not shift, one or two soldiers will stand on the seat plate. When the gun is fired, the recoil will smash the seat plate into the ground. At the moment the 120mm mortar was fired, two artillerymen were shocked to fly.
This gun was not small, and it fell directly on the outer wall of the labor camp. The huge explosion caused a hole in the wall to be blown out.
"Yes, this is really a fortress. A wall that can't be destroyed by 120 mortars?" Lin Rui frowned.
"The drop point is not close enough, there is no accurate hit, the exploded shrapnel cannot directly destroy the wall, and the effect of the shock wave on the curved wall is not obvious. But with this cannon, it will be fine after a little adjustment. Now." Quickly nodded.
"Don't worry, the ammunition of the big goods is limited, so save it." Lin Rui smiled, "Look at their reaction?"
"It seems that someone has walked up the wall." Yelena held a telescope.
"Are they going to talk to us and surrender directly?" Sergey asked.
"Wait, something is wrong. These people don't seem to be guards in the labor camp. They wear uniform uniforms with numbers on the back. They are prisoners in the labor camp." Jabad, who rushed to meet Lin Rui, said loudly. Don't open fire, all the prisoners standing on the wall are labor camp prisoners."
Lin Rui observed through the telescope, and sure enough, all the prisoners standing on the opposite wall were prisoners. They all wore numbered red prison uniforms and stood on the fence of the labor camp.
At this time, the huge loudspeaker of the labor camp began to shout to Lin Rui and others, "Listen to the opposition army. I am the person in charge of this labor camp, Geral Nelson. I want you to stop the attack and leave. Here. I know why you are here, but as long as I am here, this will not happen."
"Geral Nelson. A member of the Supervisory Committee under the Secret Society, who specializes in the management of the labor camp." Jabad whispered, "He is a loyal dog of the Secret Society and killed many Anmor people. Most of them are prisoners who have been forced to labor in this camp."
"Turn the muzzle to that direction for another shot. I see how long they can survive." Lin Rui turned his head and said.
"Understood." Kuaima and several other mercenaries immediately began to fire their guns.
"Can't fight." Jabad stopped them. "We are here to rescue the Anmore soldiers trapped inside. If you continue to fire, they will slaughter the prisoners inside. They do this kind of thing, I I have seen a similar incident more than once."
