Chapter 144: Position Details
After avoiding the patrol soldiers, Lin Dong and the others found a relatively secret corner. Ben took out the wire cutters he carried with him, and cut a one-meter-long hole by the barbed wire mesh surrounding the outside of the position. The two of them went in directly.
After waiting for a minute, Sophie's figure appeared in his sight, and Lin Dong stretched out his hand to signal.
After Sophie also came in, Ben simply covered the hole again, and then the three of them began to enter the position to investigate.
Looking at the cannons that appeared in front of him, Lin Dong was slightly surprised.
Although I have been a mercenary for a long time, this kind of scene of many gun barrels has never been seen in reality.
However, unlike Lin Dong's surprise, Sophie and Ben were not at all concerned about the artillery of the Villa government forces.
"Will they all be just artillery of this level?" Ben whispered in surprise.
Lin Dong looked at him in confusion and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
Ben grinned and said, "It's nothing. I just heard that the Villa government has been very powerful in Africa under the decades of dictatorship of Zafik. But now looking at the appearance of these artillery, it seems to be a bit unworthy of its name!"
Lin Dong looked at a cannon in front of him. It looked like it should be a 155mm Canon howitzer. Although it looked a little old, its firepower was still very strong.
Especially when the number is sufficient, the damage to the front-line army will definitely be extremely high.
As if seeing Lin Dong’s doubts, Ben explained softly: “Boss, I don’t mean that the power of these cannons is not good, but…how to say it, it’s just too backward.”
Ben took Lin Dong to a hidden corner, pointed to a row of artillery in front and said, "Boss, you see, most of these are Soviet-made D-20 (m1955) 152mm Canon howitzers, which were equipped with the Soviet Artillery Division and the Motorized Infantry Division artillery regiment in 1955, and are also equipped with many other countries.
Maybe it was a very powerful artillery at that time, but now in 2011, they should have withdrawn from the stage of history long ago.
There is also the one next to us, which is pretty good. This is the tr.f1 howitzer, a 155mm towed howitzer developed by France in 1975.
Compared with its 24 kilometers range, its range is quite good, which is 7 kilometers higher than the 17 kilometers of the d-20, and it can be regarded as the main artillery.
But now the main force on the battlefield is obviously no longer their artillery, but more powerful rocket launchers. That's why I said that their things are too behind."
This statement made Lin Dong a little suspicious. Has Zafik's army's firepower really dropped to this level?
Then how can you fight against the National People's Liberation Army on the other side?
But just when the two of them were puzzled here, Sophie's figure suddenly appeared beside them, and a calm voice came, saying, "Two, your popular science time should be over, so come with me, I think you will not have such unnecessary worries when you see these."
Sophie's words made Lin Dong and the two big men a little embarrassed, as if they were not separated from each other just now.
When stealing into enemy camps for investigation, it seems a bit out of place to do popular science knowledge.
The two followed Sophie honestly, avoided the patrol soldiers, and what appeared in front of them were vehicles covered with camouflage.
The three of them found a hidden location, and Lin Dong quietly opened the camouflage net in a corner. What he saw were neatly arranged gun barrels.
Lin Dong looked at Ben in surprise, and a name appeared in his heart at the same time.
"Multiple rocket launcher!"
Just now, the two of them said that the real killer-level weapon on the battlefield is rocket launcher, and now it appears in front of them.
After checking carefully, Ben said to Lin Dong and Sophie: "This should be a BM-21 rocket launcher, a 122mm 40-tube self-propelled rocket launcher developed by the former Soviet Union.
The guide tubes of this rocket launcher are arranged in four layers, with 10 tubes per layer. If this rocket launcher is armed with a battalion, the battalion can fire 720 rockets or chemical bombs, with a total weight of 48,000 kg, far exceeding the volley of all conventional artillery artillery in most countries.
This kind of rocket launcher has participated in many wars, such as the Afghan War, the Iran-Iraq War and the Gulf War, which can be said to have been tested for a long time.
It can be regarded as a kind of army killer weapon. It is estimated that this is the real fire support of this artillery position."
Lin Dong looked carefully and found that there are about 10 such rocket launchers here. Although the standard deviation from the battalion mentioned in this battalion was quite different, it was also a terrifying firepower.
A volley can have 400 rockets, plus those 155mm and 152mm howitzers, which are assisted by the side, can definitely play a role in changing the direction of war.
"Haha, no wonder those mercenaries had so many people before, but they could not even be able to do anything with the defense line. With such a firepower attack, those mercenaries would probably collapse in less than half an hour."
After quietly investigating the real camp and leaving behind video materials, Lin Dong and the other two began to prepare for retreat.
Of course, they cannot cause any harm to this kind of artillery position.
Moreover, there are quite a few soldiers here, absolutely more than one thousand, so it is also a joke to kill people silently. It doesn’t hurt them at all, and it’s easy to get yourself trapped. Of course, Lin Dong won’t do this.
What they have to do now is to pass back these information and the specific coordinates here. As for how to arrange them specifically, that is the above matter.
However, after Lin Dong thought that General Yunis would never miss such a good opportunity after he received the information he had sent back. He would definitely bombard this coordinates, or more directly, he would ask NATO bombers to bomb the sky.
However, no matter which method it is, it will become a hell on earth. They must go as far as they go. Lin Dong doesn't believe that the other party will slow down his plan because of his existence.
After leaving the camp, Lin Dong and the other two quickly escaped into the depths of the jungle, and Lin Dong had already notified Wall and the others to gather at the place they had determined before.
After the five people gathered, Lin Dong did not stop at all and began to move towards the edge of the basin. He needed to do other things after he left the basin and confirmed the complete safety of his and others.
