When I was learning coordinate observation, I always had a question in my mind... When the Second Company was fighting on the front line, Marx and his artillery observers used the "test-fire" method, but the precise measurement we are learning now seems to be
There is no need for a test fire at all. As long as the distance and elevation are calculated correctly, a large piece of cannon will not be wrong if it is covered by it.
After asking Battalion Commander Wu, he realized that sometimes there is no way to measure accurately on the battlefield, such as when the fog is heavy and the rain is heavy... At this time, the visibility is only a few dozen meters, and the steering wheel cannot be seen through, so there is no way to do it at all.
If you aim at the target, you cannot measure the angle and distance. For example, when there are no known orientation objects around you... the specific coordinates determined by the observer are all in known orientation objects such as towers and peaks with known coordinates.
On the basis of the high ground, plus the distance between the direction object and the target is determined. If there is no known direction object, the specific coordinates cannot be determined.
At this time, you have to use visual inspection...
The so-called visual method is to poke a point on the map based on the ability and experience of the graph, measure the coordinates and elevation (there are circles of Gaussian contours on the military map, and the contours are used to represent the elevation), and then
Try to make a few shots and adjust slowly, just like Marx and the others did before.
Of course, this method is also used in emergency situations, such as suddenly discovering a large number of enemy cars in the wild, and tanks pass... Because the tanks are fast, there is no need to urgently measure the coordinates. When the coordinates are measured, the enemy cars will be early.
Then he drove away.
Therefore, the advantage of this method is that it is fast speed, and the disadvantage is that the error is large. If it is not accurate, it will warn the enemy... For example, if the test shot of one shot is far away, the second shot is corrected and it is not accurate. At this time, the enemy would have known that they were the enemy artillery soldiers before they knew they were killed by the opponent's artillery.
The observer is targeted and will react soon.
When the soldiers knew that there was still this method, they couldn't help but wailed...
"Battery Commander!" Liang Lianbing shouted: "I'll say this method long ago. We don't have to work so hard to calculate the coordinates, right?"
Battalion Commander Wu answered this question for me: "Do you think the artillery shells are fired casually? Every time the artillery fires, it has to risk his life being suppressed by the enemy's artillery! So if there is no precise coordinate or emergency situation, it is generally not necessary.
Visual inspection method!”
"That's it!" I echoed next to me, "Do you think ** is playing every family... you can fight whatever you want?"
"What's more!" Battalion Commander Wu added: "If you don't learn to calculate coordinates, how can you poke a point on the map? Even if you poke a point, how can you correct the offset? If you poke a street, you can do it.
He pointed to Hanoi!"
The soldier laughed out loud, and Xu Guochun joked, "The relationship is good, I will fight directly to Hanoi!"
I ignored the soldiers' foolish cheers and asked again: "How can the enemy artillery find the target and suppress my artillery?"
"The method is the same!" Battalion Commander Wu replied: "Both sides of the enemy and us have set up artillery observation stations on the high ground. When the other side is in a hurry, there will inevitably be fire and smoke, especially at night to see more clearly.
The heights were connected with the steering wheel to aim at the flames and smoke at the same time, and the coordinates and elevations were quickly calculated!"
"Oh!" I suddenly realized when I heard this. No wonder the artillery often left after firing a few shots. Otherwise, I had to prepare more artillery fire to counter-suppress the enemy artillery.
Later I realized that the artillery battle was not just that... Because the artillery observation station was like the eyes of the enemy's long-range artillery fire, the enemy and us often had to send scouts to fight each other before large-scale attacks or battles.
Artillery Observation Center was removed.
Of course, the artillery observers on both sides of the enemy will also be prepared, so this is another bloody battle of fighting for each other... No wonder the war of this era cares so much about occupying the commanding heights. As the saying goes, stand high and see far, and master it.
The commanding heights mean that long-range artillery fire can hit the enemy's hinterland more accurately.
However, all of this was blocked after our army introduced the artillery radar... In this era, we and the Americans were in the monthly period, so the Americans were happy to join forces to successfully purchase two from Sweden.
The artillery radar does not need to set up an observation station on the high ground. It uses radar to track the enemy's shells, and then quickly and accurately calculate the opponent's artillery position.
And that speed is so fast... It is said that as soon as the enemy's first shell was released, the artillery radar had calculated and sent the data to our artillery positions, so the enemy's shells had not yet exploded to our position... Our army's shells
Under the command of the artillery radar, he was already firing out towards the enemy artillery positions.
It can be imagined that one shot will naturally be accurate, and the Vietnamese artillery was not even too late to run, which made the Vietnamese artillery completely suppressed and beaten... almost as soon as the artillery was fired, it was finished.
Of course, the introduction of this thing happened a few years later. I remember it seemed to be in 1983... This is also the reason why the Laoshan Battle started in 1984. You must know that our army's equipment had been fully updated at that time, and the infantry had Type 81.
Assault rifles, machine guns, sniper rifles, tanks and armored transport vehicles have also been improved, and artillery has also had artillery aiming radar... That is when the new equipment is being tested and taught a lesson to the Vietnamese Japanese.
But before this, we seemed to be able to fight according to the same old method.
"Battery Commander!" At this time, a correspondent saluted in front of me: "Commander Zhang asked you to go!"
"Um!" I nodded and waved to Xiao Chen, the driver who was smoking not far away. Xiao Chen hurriedly threw away the cigarette, jumped into the jeep, started, drove the car over.
This is the advantage of being a battalion commander. The entire battalion, including the staff officer, has five jeeps... But this is also because Commander Zhang is generous, or it can be said that our synthetic battalion is special. An ordinary battalion can be equipped with a jeep.
All are pretty good.
After jumping into the car and thinking about it, he ordered the guard: "Go and call Zhang Wenshu too!"
"Yes!" The guard responded. Of course he knew that Zhang Wenshu was referring to Zhang Fan.
After a while, Zhang Fan stood in front of me and shouted a report.
"Get in the car!" I said.
"Yes!" Zhang Fan asked nothing.
She is still a soldier in front of outsiders... She should not be called a soldier, and the documents are considered a cadre, but my orders must be implemented unswervingly.
So sometimes I think...If one day I order Zhang Fan to lie down at **... I don't know if she will execute the order, or whether she is willing to execute the order.
As I thought about it, I reacted again, and I couldn't help but curse and never dared to think wrongly again.
From this point of view... this is another disadvantage of fitting a jeep. You can no longer touch Zhang Fan like you did when you used to ride a car, right?
Soon, Zhang Fan, who was sitting beside me, knew what I meant to bring her, because this was the one that drove towards Commander Zhang’s residence, so how could Zhang Fan not know this road?
Soon the jeep stopped in front of Commander Zhang's residence with a sound of brakes. Zhang Fan jumped out of the car excitedly, regardless of the driver Xiao Chen and the guard being behind us, and took my hand and walked towards the door, asking as he walked.
: "My dad asked you to come? Why did you come?"
"I don't know either!" I said, "It's better for me to bring you with me. You haven't come back these days, so I want to meet **'s mother!"
Zhang Fan nodded. Because she was in a hurry to train, she did not go home for a while.
Looking at Zhang Fan's face full of happiness, I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart... Alas! This girl is so easy to satisfy. I'm just doing a favor.
But I soon realized that I had expressed my wrong feelings... When Commander Zhang saw Zhang Fan, he looked a little surprised, and then he found an excuse to send Zhang Fan away. It was obvious that Commander Zhang had something to do to me.
So I knew... I shouldn't take Zhang Fan with me next time.
"Come on... sit down!" Commander Zhang pointed to the rattan chair in front of me, handed me another cigarette, and asked, "How are you doing in training recently?"
"The progress is OK!" I said: "I found some problems and solved some problems, and it still needs to be strengthened! Especially the individual tactics of the first company..."
"Yes!" Commander Zhang nodded: "Don't hurry to train, you can take your time, there is still time now!"
Then I handed me a weapon picture... I saw that it was a submachine gun that looked similar to 56 rush (56 rush and wooden support 81 bar are not much different in appearance), and even this picture is still retained
Folding military batons...
"Isn't this a Type 56 submachine gun?" I was pretending to be confused. I knew in my heart that since Commander Zhang would show it to me, it would definitely not be a 56 rusher.
Sure enough, Commander Zhang said: "This is not a 56 rush, but a new submachine gun we want to build! That is what you said last time... a gun that combines the advantages of 56 and 56 rush. But it has not yet been finalized.
...The upper class is arguing about this gun now. You have fought and know what kind of guns you need on the battlefield, so I want to hear your thoughts!"
This is so easy to deal with... I have the Bayi Band in my head, right?
But I still pretended to look at the picture and said, "The bullet is best to be universal to Type 56..."
"Well! Why?" What I said made Commander Zhang's eyes lit up.
"Because our army has a great demand for ammunition!" I said: "If bullets and Type 56 rifles are not common, it means that we have to produce another type of ammunition. On the one hand, it is a waste of a large number of stocks of Type 56 ammunition.
On the other hand, there will be no contact with ammunition again!”
"Yes!" Commander Zhang nodded: "There is no problem at this, the result of our discussion is the same as what you said."
"The bayonet is changed to a detachable and strong!" I said: "There are very few bayonets that can be used in modern warfare. The folding military bayonet is because the gun tip is too heavy, and the other is that it cannot be used as a dagger. On the battlefield, it must be
It would be very inconvenient to pick up a can or assassinate something!”
Commander Zhang nodded again without saying a word...
In fact, I know that the military sect can be detached and strong, which may be a common sense for modern people to take for granted, but in this era, a considerable number of people insist on folding in order to maintain the tradition of "bayonets are popular".
The military batons still argued over this. (To be continued.)
