The mortar is indeed not a problem, as Major Will said.
One is because we have a small number of people, and there are only 133 people in total, and the Chinese consulting group is only 140 people. Even if each two people arrange a mortar, there will be only 70 people.
Mortar.
In fact, Major Will did arrange a mortar for each of us. According to Major Will, he took this time to get familiar with the mortar. On the other hand, if the company trains to swim.
If artillery is to facilitate training other British troops, it is indeed necessary to do this... Only by doing this can it be simulated as a large number of guerrillas!
In order to free up our hands for training, Major Will specially dispatched a logistics force to provide us with supplies, so our company soon had vehicles such as cars and jeeps to transport shells.
Another reason is that the South Georgia Island where we are located is actually an ammunition depot.
As mentioned before, the British special-mix fleet uses this small island as an outpost, that is, various ammunition, firearms and supplies for replacement, a considerable number of them are temporarily stored on the island.
.
Of course, the British army is not that stupid and will store all their equipment and supplies on this island. Otherwise, if they need to use it urgently, they will have to rush to load ships from this island and then transport them to the direction of the Cabernet Island. Solve this problem.
The method is very simple, that is, the combat fleet will follow some supply ships, which are almost a transit platform... The fleet needs supply and transfer from the supply ships. In addition, some small boats will continuously transfer materials from South Georgia Island to
The supply ship is transported onto the ship, thus forming a complete logistics supply system.
Of course, these are not what we need to care about. We just need to know that South Georgia is actually the easiest and most convenient place to get weapons and ammunition at this time. No wonder Major Will didn't think about it when I said I needed a mortar.
He agreed.
Another thing you need is communication equipment... By the way, this communication equipment is still very important for guerrilla warfare. The reason is that guerrilla warfare disperses personnel, and in most cases these personnel are still invisible to each other, so if they want to be with each other, they should be together.
To be able to cooperate, you must use communication equipment to string this part together, otherwise it will be like a mess.
From this point of view, sometimes I really don’t understand how our troops coordinated when they were still the Red Army.
I think they may rely on tacit understanding between each other, correspondents who are familiar with the terrain and the cooperation of the people... For example, the people will knock down a tree in the mountain or use what frequency to shake a tree to achieve this to
Other troops convey information or orders.
I have heard a lot of stories like this when I was a child. I thought it was fun at that time, but now I understand how dangerous it is to use these transmission methods when I am on the battlefield... If something goes wrong or
Is the information not being transmitted in time? It will undoubtedly bring devastating disasters to the entire army and operations.
But this situation will not happen to us. The communication equipment of British troops was originally popularized to the first level, and this may be because of the economic downturn in the UK in this era. I think the American troops have been popularized to the squad for a long time.
It's right.
Of course, if our company wants to conduct guerrilla warfare training, it will be popularized into the squad, which is just adding more than a dozen sets of communication equipment to the army. This is a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning for Major Will.
So the training began quickly. My training requirements for the troops were to be able to hit the same target at the fastest speed in different places.
This is determined by guerrilla warfare. Just like the Vietnamese Japanese did on the battlefield, the swimming cannons scattered around the world can accurately point the muzzle to the same high ground.
The advantage of this tactic is obvious, that is, the gunners are dispersed, while the shells are concentrated.
The dispersed gunners mean that it is difficult for the enemy to suppress them... The shells are fired from all directions. Even if the enemy accurately grasps one or two of the firing positions and spreads the artillery fire at the fastest speed, it can only be wiped out very few.
Just a part of it.
Concentration of shells means a greater chance of hitting the target.
Mortars can even be said to be the hit rate of most artillery artillery. One is because of its low accuracy, and the other is because the shells have to fly for a long distance, and it is inevitable that they will be subject to air density and wind power in this process.
The direction is shifted due to the influence of such an effect.
It is precisely because of this realistic artillery battle usually covers a large area and sometimes test firing is required before covering it.
So if it is just one or two shells pointing to one target, the chance of hitting the target can be said to be slim, but if dozens of mortars hit the same target, the effect will be completely different.
We have used the same method on the battlefield in Afghanistan, and the Soviet army equipped with advanced fighter jets and armed helicopters has no choice but to do anything to us.
When I talked about this, Major Will couldn't help but nodded frequently and sighed: "If the Argentine troops could do this, then our troops would be unable to move on the island of Horse!"
What Major Will said is indeed reasonable. You should know that the British troops are quite mechanized, which means that the British army is very dependent on roads. If the Argentine troops would also do this... that is, to urge them.
The gunners were scattered on various high grounds of the Cambridge Island and locked on the Cambridge Island roads, waiting for the British army to pass through these highways, and then these British men would feel good.
By then, I think even if the British army has fully grasped the sea control power, air control will be useless, because it will take a long time for the fighter to clear these swimming targets one by one. However, the UK has not had too long supply lines and is too expensive.
The war must end in a short period of time.
"There's a problem here!" Major Will said: "These mortars cannot carry so much ammunition with you and transfer quickly, after all, mortar shells are not light!"
Major Will's words are indeed good. Even a 60mm caliber mortar shell weighs more than eight pounds per round. How many mortars and shells can a squad bring? They can't use cars or
Jeep transport is undoubtedly a good target for enemy helicopters or fighter jets.
However, this is not a problem for me at all.
"Major Will forgot a little!" I said, "Don't you snipers often bury your ammunition in advance at a certain sniper point?"
"Oh, I get it!" Major Will nodded and said, "You mean, mortars can be buried in a certain place in the same way!"
"Yes!" I said: "That is to say, they don't need to carry shells at all, and they can even carry automatic rifles on their bodies to defend themselves. In addition, they can split the mortars to a few people's backs. Quick maneuvering is not a problem at all.
!”
From this point of view, the British troops did not have much experience in guerrilla warfare, or they were more conservative in their thinking, otherwise they would not have asked this question.
It is only my personal opinion that the British are more conservative in their thinking.
That's what I think, British and Americans are actually the same race. It can even be said that most Americans are immigrants from the UK. They are a group of adventure and pioneering British people who go to the United States to open up their territory.
Finally, the United States came into being after the ** War.
Then the British who stayed in the UK were those who did not have the courage or the passion to create a new world in America.
Of course, what is being said here does not mean that there are no cases in it.
From this perspective, it is no wonder that the United States stubbornly replaced Britain, the former empire.
For example, in modern military, tanks around the world are developing smoothbore guns, but Britain stubbornly uses rifled guns, which eventually leads them to a chicken-like trap:
Let's continue to develop rifled guns. Not only does it cost a lot, but it can't make it as long as the smoothbore gun. After the tail wing is stable and the armor is popped out, the performance of the smoothbore gun in all aspects is better than the rifled gun. If you don't develop rifled guns
That not only means giving up all research experience of rifled guns, but the previous R&D expenses will undoubtedly be waived, and the development of smoothbore guns will start from scratch...
It is worth mentioning that the Arjun tank developed by India, a second-hand man, still follows its sect leader, that is, it still uses rifled cannons.
After a while of silence, Major Will frowned and said, "If this happens to happen on the island of Marx, I mean if... what should we do?"
Major Will asked this well, because the British army did this not to practice guerrilla warfare, but to deal with guerrilla warfare.
"Major still remembers the blitzkrieg used by Germany during World War II!" I said.
"Of course I remember!" Major Will replied, "You mean... to use blitzkrieg against guerrilla warfare?"
"Absolutely!" I said: "The reason why the German armored troops can advance quickly is that before the armored troops, an elite unit occupied strategic areas or commanding heights along the way with the cooperation of the air force, that is, inserting into the enemy's line first
Only in this way can the main force advance smoothly.
In fact, the Soviets used this method to ensure the safety of their logistics supply lines on the battlefield in Afghanistan, which caused great difficulties in our guerrilla warfare!”
"Oh!" Major Will nodded, "We can do this!"
Of course I believe that the British army can do this, because the British army is not all rookies this time, there is also a well-trained special forces. I even know that this one was the one who took South Georgia with zero casualties.
force.
Of course, the British army does not need to use this force to take down South Georgia, which also reflects the cautious or lack of confidence in the British.
And all of this is not what I care about, and I still care about five words...Argentine submarine! (To be continued, please search Piaotianyi, novels are better, updated and faster!
