Special Years

Chapter 269: The highest firing range of mortars

Wang Dazui once again attracted everyone's attention.

He proudly described the news he had inquired from his fellow villagers in a tone similar to that of a storyteller under an overpass.

The private soldier who was tested was from the Mortar Squadron of the Second Division of the First Squadron. When it was his turn to conduct the tactical command assessment, the instructor first set a task for them - Company X was placed in the hill on the southeast side of Highland No. 1. It was intercepted by the unnamed highland enemy bunker fire point, and the attack was blocked, and an 82 mortar squad was needed for support.

Order your troops to move forward quickly along the west mountain road from the right side of No. 3 highland, and set up the cannon on the mountain on No. 2 high ground, calibrate the coordinates of the enemy's fire point on the spot to provide artillery support, cover the X platoon to launch an attack, and select the enemy's fire point.

This is a seemingly simple support mission.

It's too easy to get it done, just follow the instructor's instructions, take the artillery squad through Height 3, reach the designated location on Height 2, mount the guns, get in touch with Platoon X, get the coordinates, and then mount the guns.

Even if he considers it a step further, the instructor deliberately makes a problem, saying that the X platoon cannot provide the coordinates of the enemy's fire point, then the squad leader can go up to the No. 2 height, observe from a height and manually calculate the coordinates and then calibrate, use the gun benchmark to specify the direction, and test a shot. Correct the impact point after firing, and then fire a rapid fire within five minutes, and then dismantle the gun and transfer it.

This is not difficult.

But the cunningness of the teachers of the teaching team was absolutely unpredictable.

When the mortar team ran up the mountain road on the side of Highland No. 3, the instructor suddenly stopped.

A group of soldiers stood in the same place dumbfounded, not knowing why the general support mission suddenly stopped.

The instructor raised his hand, pointed his right palm like a knife to the right side of the unit, and said, "The situation has changed. During the movement, you found that there was a trace of the movement of the enemy squad about 1 km in front of the right, and the movement direction was the right wing of platoon X. The movement speed is extremely fast. Your communication equipment is damaged during the movement, and you cannot notify X platoon. Please take corrective action in this situation."

Then the scene was pointed there, and a mark was made on the map on the spot, and it was pointed to the private student.

Correct disposal?

The purpose of this is obvious. The enemy team is outflanking from the right side, obviously to explode the chrysanthemum of platoon X.

Once it is successfully outflanked by the detour, then the X platoon will be attacked by the enemy in the mountains, and the entire army will be annihilated if there is no trouble.

The private cadet thought for a while and gave the order to fire the gun on the spot.

But as soon as the gun was set up, it was called to stop by the instructor on the side.

"You don't understand the map or are you blind!?" He waved the map and spread it out in front of the soldiers, "From the position of the enemy squad I marked to the right side of Hill 2 within your line of sight, How many meters are there?"

"...One hundred and twenty meters..." The private was already sweating from the teacher's fright.

According to the map, the distance is correct.

"One hundred and fifty meters, how long does it take for an infantry unit to pass through?!" the instructor continued to ask.

"Forty seconds at most..." said the Private.

"How long does it take for you to set up the gun and aim, and then prepare the ammunition!?" the instructor asked again.

Sweat dripped from the soldier's forehead.

"One minute……"

"Then you're doing a shit!? Can you still see the exact location of the squad!?" The instructor roared at him like a grumpy lion: "When you set up the gun and aim it, you can only hit the air. ! Your brother army has been outflanked! It's dead!"

In this way, the teacher unceremoniously drew a big circle on the transcript.

Zero points!

"What? Do you think I'm deliberately embarrassing you!?" After the teacher finished marking, he asked the others, "What do you guys think! How to do it!?"

The other students looked at each other.

"Have you learned about the dog in the past five months!?" The teacher put the score clip and map on the ground, then walked to the 82 mortar, dismantled the cannon, and locked it. Sleeve, keep a mortar trainer round by your side.

After simply measuring the distance and the number of dense numbers with the palms and fingers, the instructor picked up the gun barrel, faced the place where the enemy team appeared just now, balanced the gun barrel with both palms left and right, aimed at the center line of the body, and pushed it outward.

After launching, a simple angle correction was made to the barrel with the knuckle of his index finger on the muzzle.

Then take a step forward with the right foot, rest the barrel on the right leg, then hold the half of the gun with the left hand, pick up the shell with the right hand, and put it from the muzzle into the barrel...

All this was done in less than twenty seconds.

"Easy shooting..."

In the team of students, someone finally called out.

"You know there is such an operation as simple shooting!?" The instructor put down the barrel and returned to the front of the queue, "Didn't your squad leader teach you simple shooting?"

"Teached..."

"Teached..."

The students lowered their heads one by one.

The instructor said: "Every infantry fighting skill in every subject, if you learn it, it will definitely be useful, otherwise why would you spend time entrusting it to you?"

The students did not dare to speak.

Easy fire, an emergency operation for the mortar squad. In short, it is the shooting operation of one person, one barrel.

The standard 82 mortar squad originally required at least 7 people to maintain the firepower supply, but the simple shooting simulates when the entire squad is dead and only one gunner is left. A task that requires the gunner to have the fastest one-man, one-gun operation with extremely high quality.

For a top gunner of an 82 mortar, the highest level is simple shooting operation. Like the marksman test of infantry, simple shooting is the highest operational requirement for mortars.

The seemingly simple operation requires great precision, which completely depends on the experience, ability, and skill of the gunner. .

Then you have to go through countless times of contact, until you are the length of your arm and the length of each finger of your index finger. After the hands are pushed out of the gun barrel, what is the angle between the gun barrel and the ground? Then use this degree to convert the shooting distance, and then use the knuckles of the fingers to correct the angle step by step, how much the muzzle slides out at the first knuckle of the index finger is lowered, and how much is the pullback, all by heart.

This is a shooting skill that has always completely tested the ability of the shooter~lightnovelpub.net~ The top infantry gunner test, this item belongs to the top test, and a skilled gunner can complete the shooting, aiming and calculation within 30 seconds , loading, and the entire process of launching.

The problem that the instructor just raised can be dealt with with simple shooting, and these gunners have not been killed, and their speed will be faster. They are fully capable of intercepting the shells before the enemy squad disappears from sight. Indirectly remind the X platoon that the attack was blocked in the col, and let them divide their troops for defense.

It's all about nimble tricks, that's the battlefield.

After listening to Wang Datong's retelling, Zhuang Yan and the others couldn't help being secretly shocked.

Unexpectedly, these teachers did not follow the routine when it comes to tactical command.

Then, when it's your turn next, what kind of completely unexpected problem will these wonderful teachers give themselves?

Thinking of this, Zhuang Yan couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
