Chapter 98: artillery attack

?

87_87165 "60mm mortar?" Yelena asked in surprise.

Lin Rui nodded and said, "I paid attention to observe, those guys in blue-gray military uniforms are the main force of this siege operation, and they are mainly concentrated in a few areas. If we can make good use of this gun, we can cause damage to them. No small casualties. And once these people retreat, the rebels will not be able to stop Zhao Jianfei and them."

"There is still a question, how are you going to use this gun? We only need to shoot a few shells and we will be discovered." Yelena said helplessly.

Lin Rui nodded and said, "So we need to go to that house. I noticed that the roof of that house has been blown down by more than half. We can place the guns there, surrounded by residual walls to cover, and forced The sound of the cannon firing is not very loud, the sound of the landing explosion is loud. And the gun is a warp gun, and we are very difficult to find there. However, I need an observer to report to me the distance and bearing."

"And you know that our snipers all have small rangefinders, and measuring distance and wind speed is our strength." Yelena suddenly smiled, "Although a gun cannot form a barrage attack, but if the projectile is accurate enough, it will It can do a lot of damage to the infantry group. Maybe this method really works."

Lin Rui nodded and said, "I went to set up earlier this time. You support Ivan and then go in. We can't leave him outside." After speaking, Lin Rui kicked open the door of the nearby building, carrying The mortar went in and was erected on the ruins on the second floor, and Yelena helped Ivan to hide there.

The building is on the edge of the town, unobtrusive, and mostly in ruins. The roof has been completely destroyed, leaving only four broken walls. A corner of the floor also collapsed, and the exposed steel bars were bent upwards. Lin Rui picked a relatively stable position and completed the mortar erection. And Yelena hid near the balcony with a telescope and a rangefinder to report the enemy data he observed.

Since its inception, the mortar has been an effective suppressing weapon to support and accompany infantry in combat, and is an extremely important conventional weapon for infantry. Although it has a history of a hundred years, it is not unreasonable to quietly occupy a place in the army's equipment amid the competition of various high-tech weapons in modern warfare.

Don't look at the small size of this gun, but according to the standard configuration, a gun needs four gunners and a gunner. In other countries, there is an additional ammunition operator. However, when the combat attrition is serious, a single person can also complete the operation of a single gun. Because this cannon is far simpler to operate than a normal cannon.

Lin Rui quickly completed the installation of the mortar and nodded to Yelena.

Yelena quickly determined which direction the enemy had the most firepower based on her observations of the enemy, locked it as the key direction, adjusted the data in that direction to the quadrant she was used to, and set the corresponding firing angle. And returned all the shooting Yuan to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui quickly completed the adjustment of the mortar based on these shooting elements. Then a shell was put into the barrel. This gun is provided with a firing pin chamber at the bottom center of the firing pin gun tail, and a firing pin is installed in the firing pin chamber. The mortar shell slid in from the mouth of the barrel and hit its primer, completing the firing. "Boom!" A loud sound of firing was indeed low-key amid the dense gunfire and explosions on the battlefield. But the explosion of the shell landing is not low-key at all.

The artillery shell landed and blossomed in the concentrated area of ​​the armed personnel wearing blue-gray military uniforms. A huge explosion was heard, and the killing radius spread to the nearby ten meters. Those armed men in blue-gray military uniforms didn't realize what was going on at all, and they were instantly bombed. The shells used by Lin Rui are high-explosive ammunition with high explosive power. For infantry without armor protection, the lethality is huge.

Those militants in blue-gray military uniforms encountered a sudden blow, and they were a little stunned for a while, and fired a few shots indiscriminately in the smoke from the explosion. They had no idea that a mortar was on the roof of the building in the distance, shooting at them. I thought it was a grenade fired by the mercenaries in the encirclement. So a few people were killed by the bombing, and after a while of panic, they reunited again.

Yelena calculated the distance and direction as shooting Zhu Yuan through observation again and reported it to Lin Rui again. With a cannonball test, Lin Rui felt much smoother. Anyway, some of them are cannonballs. Just slightly correct the angle of the quadrant, aim at a position and just hit it. The maximum theoretical rate of fire of this Chinese-made 60mm mortar can reach 30 rounds per minute, with an average of one shell per second.

In fact, of course Lin Rui couldn't do this. This must be done by a skilled mortar team and the coordination of multiple gunners. One-man guns, certainly not so fast. However, he is not slow. Without much correction of orientation, firing twenty shells a minute is like playing.

The hard part was the gang of militants in blue-gray uniforms below. Before they could figure out what the situation was, they were attacked by a savage mortar attack. Suddenly there were explosions. Their relatively tight encirclement and simple fortifications were completely destroyed in one round of mortar fire. Most of the militants wearing blue-gray military uniforms began to realize that it was not the mercenaries in the encirclement attacking them.

But who else can these mercenaries be? This town is completely under the control of the rebel armed forces. If anyone else tried to rescue these mercenaries, they should have discovered it long ago. And looking at the ferocity of this firepower, it is likely to be artillery support. The thought of these militants made their scalps go numb. The reason why they dared to be here to help the rebels and the mercenaries of the Morningstar Company. The biggest reliance is that the other party's communication server has been invaded, causing the other party's communication to be completely paralyzed.

Has their communication been restored? If so, they are likely to use a communications system to call in air support from helicopters. The reason why Morningstar has become the uncrowned king in the African mercenary world is precisely because of their advanced communication command and air superiority. If that's the case, things are a little off.

Lin Rui's trouble made not only the rebels and the armed men in blue-gray uniforms panic. Even Danny, Zhao Jianfei, the action commander, and others were a little puzzled. This group of armed forces had played well, and they were tightening the encirclement step by step. But I don't know why, explosions occurred suddenly and continuously, and they all happened in the most densely populated places. This caused heavy losses to the armed men in these blue-gray uniforms.

Lin Rui's mortar attack just now killed and injured many people. Moreover, due to the shock and smoke generated by the explosion, the armed personnel in blue-gray military uniforms were extremely nervous, and even accidental injuries occurred in the chaos with the armed personnel of the rebels. Both sides needlessly sacrificed several lives.

Lin Rui looked up at Yelena and said, "Why didn't you report it?"

"The smoke cover is so heavy that I can't see clearly. However, the shots you fired just now were accurate and hard. They exploded directly in the crowd. I think their losses should not be small." Yelena leaned against the wall. He sighed and said, "I must admit, I have never seen such insidious and cunning mortar tactics."

At this moment, there was a loud electric current coming from Lin Rui's earphones, and his spirit was immediately lifted, maybe the communication was restored. He immediately connected to the communication and said loudly, "Hello, I'm Lin Rui. This is the fixed channel of the UFO team. Are you the boss of Zhao? I can't hear it clearly!"

"Lin Rui, how are you? Where are you now?" Zhao Jianfei's voice was still a little vague, but he could barely hear it clearly. Sure enough, the communication was restored, but I don't know if it was someone from the technical department who fixed the system, or if it was an interval between another system restart. For fear that the communication would be interrupted again, Lin Rui did not hesitate, and immediately reported the situation on his side. "My situation here is not very good, Ivan and Yelena are both injured."

"Report your location!" Zhao Jianfei said loudly, "But we can't save you now, we are still surrounded."

"It's no longer the case. Seeing the entire encirclement, where are there continuous explosions?" Lin Ru said solemnly, "I will fire a few more shots, and in a few minutes, there will be a gap. You guys You can break through from there!"

"Fire? Wait, are you responsible for those continuous explosions just now?" Zhao Jianfei asked in surprise.

Lin Rui nodded and said, "I don't have time to explain more now, you just need to remember that after two minutes, concentrate all your strengths to rush to that position. As long as you break through that point, the entire encirclement will be completely broken. As long as those The guys in the blue-gray military uniforms are retreating, and the other rebels can't stop you at all. Not much to say, I have to hurry up."

Yelena nodded to Lin Rui at the window and said ~www.readwn.com~ Those mysterious militants seem to be a little suspicious, should we continue? "

"Even if we are suspicious, we still have to fight. We won't expose it for a while. If they slow down, it will become difficult to fight again." Lin Rui shook his head, "Besides, Zhao Jianfei and I have already made an appointment. Time. As long as I hit that area hard enough to destroy most of the resistance. Then within two minutes he'll start breaking out from that direction."

"They are ready to break through?" Yelena said in surprise.

"Within two minutes, so we have to speed up." Lin Rui nodded, "Get ready to give me the direction!"

Yelena took a deep breath and continued to report to Lin Rui the calculated shooting of Zhu Yuan. Lin Rui completed the adjustment of the mortar for the last time, and it was another round of disregarding bursts. One after another mortar shells were drawn in large arcs of parabolas, constantly hitting the heads of the militants. The militants were so beaten that they couldn't lift their heads, and for the first time began to retreat.

When they found that they had retreated, the black rebels were even more straightforward, turning around and running away with their guns in their hands. .
