"Winter!" A cannon sounded. Twenty-five minutes had passed on Zhao Ye's watch.
"It's okay, above the normal level." Zhao Ye said this, and Captain Zhao's face looked uncertain.
He was not very satisfied with this result.
According to the requirements, they did not determine the target position in advance. According to past experience, in this case, if the first shot can be fired within half an hour, the technical level of this artillery observer is still good.
However, how could a pursuing artillery regiment commander think this result is good?
At this time, he was feeling very miserable. This kind of thing would test the calculation ability of the soldiers. If it was a shooting within the visual range, he was confident that his soldiers could perform at a very good level.
But for this kind of ultra-long-distance artillery attack, the commander here couldn't see the target at all, and he didn't measure the elements in advance. It really tested the calculation ability of the artillery observers.
However, the quality of the artillery is still good, and the artillery can be adjusted and loaded quickly.
"Let's conduct an experiment with the laser rangefinder! Order the observers to use the rangefinder to aim at the target." Zhao Ye just wanted to know the real time of manual measurement, and had no intention of testing the artillery regiment. So after firing again
, we are ready to start testing the equipment.
This time, the artillery regiment sent an observation team as observers, and they were followed by technicians from two joint factories. They had already taught these observers many times, but as this was their first field application, they
So he followed me.
"Erect this stand and mount the observation rack." The observer ordered the comrades around him.
This is also part of the test. They must hear the command before they can start taking the observation machine out of the box.
A soldier took off the tripod from his body, and then stabbed it hard on the ground. The soldier carrying the observation machine also took out the machine with the help of another soldier and installed it on the tripod.
Power on.
Behind the observation machine is a small screen, which is also a dot matrix LCD.
After it lights up for three or four seconds, the words "Power on normally" are displayed on it.
The observer holds the handles on both sides of the observation machine with both hands, and puts his eyes on the eyepiece. After the crosshair of the eyepiece is aligned with the target, he presses the laser switch on the handle with his fingers.
In his sight, a light spot immediately appeared. However, this light spot was invisible to others. The wavelength of this laser is no longer within the visible range of the human eye. This can only be discovered through special lenses.
An invisible light.
After confirming that the light spot was on the target, he also pressed a confirmation button with his other hand, and then took his eyes away from the eyepiece.
Looking at the small display screen again, specific data has been marked on it, including the distance from the target to him, and a series of coordinate data.
This coordinate data is calculated by this rangefinder based on the three surrounding one-eyed positioning vehicles.
After he saw the number, he didn't think much and pressed the send button directly.
The data was instantly transferred to the computer at the artillery regiment station.
"Captain, the coordinates are out!" A staff officer staring at the computer reported: "Firing parameters, high and low are 35, left 05, corrected 5 mi."
"One battalion, one battery, two guns, one test fire!" The regiment commander did not hesitate and immediately gave the order to test fire.
The staff officer immediately told the No. 2 gunner the coordinates of the bombardment over the phone.
Twenty seconds later, the No. 2 cannon fired the shell. The whole process only took two minutes.
It only took two minutes from the time the target coordinates were ordered to be measured to when the first shell was fired.
This speed was unthinkable before.
This is the power of technology.
However, we still didn’t know the distance of the target at the impact point, so everyone quietly waited for the radio report over there.
"Report, the impact point is five hundred meters away from the target!" A report of the target area sounded on the radio.
Now it is a test, and of course the shells used will not explode. But even so, Director Zhao did not let Zhao Ye and the others see the test results in the target area. They could only listen to the sound on the radio here.
"Oh, why are you so far away!" A staff officer said this subconsciously.
However, Zhao Ye was not surprised at all. There were many factors that affected the accuracy of shooting, and the error of the rangefinder was only part of these reasons.
"Order, the observers make correction measurements!" Captain Zhao did not take this to heart. He just continued to issue the order according to the previous plan.
So, at the target area, the observer continued to operate, pushed up a button on the handle, continued to put his eyes on the eyepiece, and let the laser shine on the area where the shells had just fallen.
Then it's the same operation again, locking and uploading.
Immediately afterwards, a set of data appeared on the computer here again, which was marked with the coordinates of the impact point. As the staff operating the computer operated for a while, a set of corrected data appeared on the computer again.
"Report, correct the ** secret position high and low, correct the ** secret position left."
"One battalion, one battery and two artillery pieces, keep firing."
"Winter!" Another cannon shot.
At this time, everyone was silent and waiting for the radio on the table to ring.
"Report, the impact point is twenty-five meters away from the target, twenty-five meters. You can fire a salvo, you can fire a salvo!" Listening to the excited voice on the radio, everyone was speechless for a while. Still firing a salvo, what are you doing?
The observer probably had a subconscious reaction and said it casually.
However, it doesn't matter if he speaks smoothly, Captain Zhao here was already focused, and at this time he subconsciously ordered: "The entire regiment fires in volley!"
"Yes, the entire regiment fires!" the staff officer on the side immediately shouted into the phone.
The flag bearer outside immediately shouted a salvo signal. In an instant, the entire position was filled with various commands, and then a neat "Winter"!
When the artillery here was ejected, the staff officer here remembered the observer in the target area and immediately shouted to the radio: "Be careful to avoid the artillery, be careful to avoid the artillery!"
The observer here heard the voice on the radio and immediately turned over and hid in the trench dug nearby. His movements were smooth and smooth, obviously well-trained. However, the staff on the side were not so nimble. I saw a few
The warrior was so agile, but he didn't even realize what had happened.
"Oh, come on in!" Several soldiers immediately climbed out of the trenches and pulled several people into the trenches.
Just as a few people hid in the trenches, they heard loud noises one after another in the distance.
The whole regiment fired a salvo, and most of the artillery shells were live ammunition. Training ammunition was not the mainstream of military equipment in this period. It would be good to have training ammunition for a few guns.
