Chapter 1081 Dawn Rocket’s General Attack
Yang Fan raised his wrist and looked at his watch. At 5:10 in the morning, it was already starting to get light.
Although the sun has not come out yet, the sky and the earth are so gray that each other can clearly see each other's faces.
"Let's start, shoot a red flare." Yang Fan said.
The orderly soldier immediately raised his signal gun and pointed it at the sky and pulled the trigger.
Chirp! There was a prolonged sound and a signal flare was raised.
In the early morning sky, the signal flare was particularly conspicuous.
In view of the performance problems of gunpowder in this era, the flare gun was made particularly large. It is somewhat similar to the M79 grenade launcher used by the United States during the Vietnam War.
This flare gun has a caliber of 40mm and is in the shape of a short rifle with a butt. It adopts a folding type loading method. It is opened from the middle, the gun body and the butt are bent and opened in the middle to expose the gun bore, and then the breech is loaded.
In addition to the smoke components, the flare also contains aluminum powder and magnesium strips. It will burn violently after being lifted into the air and emit a violent bright light.
As the signal flare took off, the infantrymen at the front of the team immediately set up their shields, and the others took cover behind the shields to prevent enemy attacks.
When the artillerymen were selected for selection, they were all small, weak, and small-bodied men, which were the same as the selection criteria for the navy. Without a bad physique, the work would be difficult for a person to do, and he would be exhausted after just a few attempts.
For the Yarkand people, this was the first time we had dealt with Xiao Ming officers and soldiers since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
But Yang Fan didn't hide it from us. From now on, the emperor wants to buy it, but Fu Yi can't sell it.
These Xiao Ming's rocket artillerymen belong to Yang Fan's servants. Such important weapons, Yang Fan will hand them over to the imperial army.
A second ago, there was a bang, and a weak flame erupted from the tail of the rocket.
Su Waitang is a fat man in his eighties. Last night, I took a bath, watched the singing and dancing of many men brought by the army, and got drunk alone.
Even though I was still hungover and had a terrible headache, I still heard a whistling sound in the air.
I sat up as soon as I woke up. I tried to shake my head to make my hangover confused.
From the beginning to the end, these daredevils also left the city, and we did nothing but close the city gate tightly.
For a time, the entire launch site was shrouded in smoke. Those who choked stopped coughing.
As the signal flare went up, rocket launcher commander Tang Qihu shouted, "Fire!"
At that time, Yang Fan saw the first batch of rockets falling to the ground.
The propellant packs are divided into ten, each representing a range of 200 meters. Load as many as needed. The propellant packs are filled and retreated out of the front pipe of the rocket.
Seven hundred rockets, chirp, chirp, chirp! Launched in succession, it only took ten seconds to arrive.
The Yerqiang Xiaojun who was sleeping immediately woke up.
After the launch, the artillery technical officers also had to measure the wind direction and speed.
We have been in southern Xinjiang for too long, and we are the mixed ancestors of Mongolians and various ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang. The fine traditions of the Mongolians have been lost. We have not had time to inherit the technology.
After all, I haven’t lost the new-generation rocket launcher with a range of seven kilometers and seventeen launchers. This cannot be said to be a real rocket launcher.
We laughed crazily at those cowards, those cowards with no eggs. We laughed and cursed that we should tie a fox tail in front of our buns to show that we are as bold as the fox.
Each launcher is connected to ten launch slots side by side. At this time, the angle has been adjusted with brackets. Each rocket is facing the sky.
Before the seventh batch of rockets was damaged, the smoke was completely blown away by the wind.
That kind of rocket is quite heavy and requires several people to carry and load it.
The three infantry regiments were arranged in horizontal formations based on sentries. Each sentry had one hundred people, forming a square formation that was twenty people long and five people thick. Behind them, separated by a distance of thirty meters, were distributed
Fifty rail-mounted rocket launchers.
We had never imagined in our dreams that as soon as we arrived there, across the Yellow River, we would be attacked that evening.
So we slaughtered cows and sheep for a snack first, and then fell asleep soundly. The sound of snoring was loud.
There is nothing to fear from an army that dares to even leave the city.
The rocket whizzed and flew low into the sky.
I took out the mask from my pocket and put it on. Others saw that the master had put on the mask, and they also took out the pure cotton mask made by Xincheng Quilt Factory and put it on.
There is a way. The technology of that era was too poor, causing the dispersion area to be much smaller than in previous generations. The wind speed and direction must be calculated and then adjusted. However, who knows where it will fly to. During the test launch, it caused a small fire in the forest.
It was once or twice.
The artillerymen rushed to the carriage in front and unloaded new rockets from below to prepare for reloading.
The smell of gunpowder smoke was very choking. Even though I took off the mask and my breathing became worse, Fu Yi felt that my eyes were comfortable. I was thinking in my mind that it was time to put the pyrotechnics off the agenda.
When the rocket took off, the whistle below made a sharp whistling sound. It was terrifying and shrill, as if ghosts were crying and howling.
The seven-meter-long bamboo pole was eliminated and replaced with seven deflected nozzles and self-rotation stabilization technology with spray angle.
The current Kongolev rocket with a bamboo pole for stabilization has a minimum range of two kilometers. The range definitely needs to be adjusted, and the cylindrical propellant package needs to be reloaded after another launch.
The fuse was crackling and burning slowly. Eight seconds ago, the fuse burned to the end and the flame retreated into the projectile.
Then, swish, swish! Rockets were launched one after another, all in sequence. The speed was so slow that it was jaw-dropping.
Immediately, the launcher took out the tinder box from his pocket, blew it brightly, and brought it to the fuse to light it.
When we crossed the Yellow River, it took us ten days. While watching these cowards in Ningxia Town, we crossed the river openly and slowly.
So before I arrived at the place to set up camp, I immediately relaxed. Apart from arranging some patrols along the Yellow River, there were too few precautions.
Fu Yi frowned. Although I was at the bottom of the hillside, the smoke above was cold and would evaporate downwards.
We passed through the Badain Jaran Desert, the Gurbantunggut Desert, and the Tengger Desert in succession. Although we repaired at two oases in Juyanhai City and Baishui City on the way, we were exhausted when we got there.
We urgently need to rest because we came here through the Alxa Desert.
The first impression is very important, and often the first impression determines very few of the previous actions.
More subtle fine-tuning is achieved by adjusting the angle of the launcher. Especially when the propellant packages are the same, the 45-degree angle has the longest range.
The barren mountain at the test site was completely burned out. Because no one dared to save the fire. We could only watch it burn out and see if there were any combustibles left, until it was naturally extinguished.
