Super Chief

Chapter 417: Rush to kill

The sighting hand did not disappoint the stone bear, nor did it disappoint the mad bull, nor did it disappoint the brothers of the more than five thousand blast bear brigade.

   The speed of mortar shells is not fast, and even the speed of sound cannot break through. This is much worse than the speed of rifle bullets and artillery shells. Therefore, people with slightly better eyes can almost see the black spot flying in a parabolic trajectory in the sky.

   The shell, which entrusted the hope of more than five thousand Burst Bear Brigade soldiers, traversed a nearly perfect parabolic trajectory in the sky, and then screamed into the stone wall of the French settlement.

   Huge explosions, fire light and thick smoke suddenly appeared behind the stone wall, followed by faintly audible screams.

   There is no doubt that although this shell did not directly hit the two artillery pieces, it definitely caused a huge loss to the French behind the stone wall.

   The sighter was obviously not satisfied with the shell, so he leaned over and started to adjust the height of the bipod supporting the barrel, and then just over ten seconds later, another screaming sound resounded through the world again.

   This shell hit the two artillery pieces almost immediately, and the power of the 400 grams of black powder burst immediately appeared in front of everyone.

The two artillery pieces weighing hundreds of kilograms were like wooden stakes hit by a mad buffalo. They suddenly rolled and fell from the top of the wall. The two-and-a-half-meter-high stone wall was also huge. The power of the explosion directly blasted a gap about three meters wide.

   Through this gap, the soldiers of the Burst Bear Brigade standing in front can almost see the situation in this settlement.

   The settlement has become a mess. Dozens of figures are running around in a panic. The screams and shouts are faintly audible, and the smoke and fire light make it look miserable.

   Obviously, the second and third cannonballs caused huge damage to this small settlement!

   If all the members of the third regiment charge at this time, it is estimated that only one charge can completely wipe this small settlement on the surface of the earth. But Crazy Bull obviously inherited the battle philosophy of Lord Guardian Shixiong, that is, as long as conditions permit, he would rather consume precious ammunition than risk his life.

  Stone Bear often instills this idea in the soldiers and officers of the Burst Bear Brigade, that human life is priceless, and nothing is more valuable than human life, even precious mortar shells or war horses! So on the battlefield, if you can consume and kill the enemy with ammunition, you should never use the lives of our soldiers to fill it!

   With the end of the battle between the Southern Expeditions of the Cree and the Eastern Expedition of the Poitan, the concept of the Supreme Commander of the Burst Bear Brigade has been deeply imprinted in the bones of the soldiers and officers of the Burst Bear Brigade.

   Therefore, even those who are as violent as the mad cow, after seeing the effect of the mortar bombing are very good, they start to command the semaphore messenger around him to give new instructions.

   The first three shells have destroyed the two most threatening artillery pieces of the French, so now the third regiment can conduct various actual combat tests on the mortars on this small settlement.

   Didn’t the first three shells fire at a distance of one kilometer? Well, let's retreat now, let this mortar squad retreat 500 meters, and fire three more shells at a distance of 1,500 meters!

Of course, at this distance, neither the stone bear nor the mad cow require the mortar squad to be able to directly smash the shells onto the head of the artillery as accurately as before. Within a range of 1,500 meters, this mortar As long as the artillery squad can accurately smash the cannonballs into the French settlements, it is done.

This mortar squad did not disappoint everyone. After a test shot at a distance of 1,500 meters, the last two shells all entered the settlement accurately and ignited again in the French settlement. Two huge torches!

   Then the mortar squad continued to retreat, retreating to a distance of two kilometers and firing again.

However, because there are already four huge "torches" in the settlement at this time, even if they are far away, the aimer can only vaguely see the location of the settlement, but there are these four huge "torches" directly Positioning, so at a distance of two kilometers, the mortar squad directly shot all three shells into the settlement.

   With the explosion of these three shells, this small settlement has completely turned into a huge "torch". A few kilometers away you can see black smoke billowing.

   The mortar squad clearly understood what their boss wanted to do, so when the order was given, they immediately continued to retreat five hundred meters and reached a position of 2,500 meters to continue shooting.

   But obviously, the hit rate at this distance was significantly lower. Five shells were fired at this position, and only three shells were able to penetrate the settlement. The remaining two shells were missed!

   But this result is already pretty good. We must know that when this 55mm mortar, also known as the 55 mortar for short, was tested, the limit effective range was about 2,600 meters. Although after adjusting the 55 mortar to the maximum range angle, the firing distance will increase a lot, but that kind of shooting is almost beyond doubt, because the accuracy of the bullet point cannot be guaranteed.

   Under the premise of ensuring shooting accuracy, the maximum effective range of the 55 mortar is about 2,600 meters.

   This mortar squad can do 5th and 3rd at a distance of 2,500 meters~lightnovelpub.net~ This is actually quite good. After all, although the other two shells did not directly hit the target, they were both very close to the target. They can be regarded as "near misses" on land...

   After shooting fourteen rounds from four different distances, the mortar squad was summoned by the flag, and the other two mortars of the third regiment appeared.

   The Burst Bear Brigade is now equipped with only twenty 55 mortars. The five regiments of the Burst Bear Brigade are equipped with three for each regiment, while five are deployed in the grenadier unit directly under the jurisdiction of the Stone Bear. Despite the great power of mortars, at this time, the decisive role on the battlefield is the large-scale grenadier.

   The two mortar squads of the third regiment are going to carry out saturation bombing at a distance of about 600 meters.

   In fact, although four of the 14 shells fired by the first mortar squad did not hit the settlement, the other nine shells all hit the French settlement. With the 12-meter kill radius of the 55 mortar shell, these nine shells have almost blown up this settlement with a diameter of only fifty meters.

But Crazy Bull is obviously not satisfied with this. The soldiers of the third regiment have surrounded the settlement in groups. The two mortars behind the soldiers fired five shots at a rapid speed, and suddenly the settlement was completely changed. A **** of flames.

   As long as they escaped from the settlement, they were shot and killed one by one by the soldiers of the Third Regiment, either with a musket or a strong bow!

   rush to kill, is the decision made by the mad cow!
