"60mm mortar?" Yelena said in amazement. Music-Text-

Lin Rui nodded and said, "I paid attention to it, those guys wearing blue-gray military uniforms are the main force of this encirclement operation, and they are mainly concentrated in a few areas. If we can make good use of this cannon, we can inflict a lot of casualties on them. And once these people retreat, those rebel forces will not be able to stop Zhao Jianfei and them. ”

"There's still a question, what are you going to do with this cannon? We'll just need to shoot a few shells and we'll be found. Yelena said helplessly.

Lin Rui nodded and said, "So we need to go inside that house, and I noticed that the roof of that house has been blown up by more than half." We can put the cannon there, surrounded by a residual fence, and the mortar fire is not very loud, but the sound of the landing explosion is loud. And this cannon is a curved gun, and it is very difficult for us to find it there. However, I need an observer to give me the distance bearing. ”

"And you know we snipers all carry small rangefinders, and measuring distance and wind speed is our forte. Yelena suddenly smiled and said, "Although a cannon can't form a barrage attack, if the shell landing point is accurate enough, it can also cause a lot of damage to the cluster infantry." Maybe it's really possible. ”

Lin Rui nodded and said, "I went over to set it up a long time ago, you helped Ivan to go in later, we can't leave him outside." After speaking, Lin Rui kicked open the door of the nearby building, carried the mortar in, and set it up on the ruins of the second floor, and Yelena helped Ivan to hide there.

The building, on the edge of town, is unobtrusive and mostly in ruins. The roof had been completely destroyed, leaving only four broken walls. The floor slab also collapsed into a corner, and the exposed steel bars bent upward. Lin Rui picked a relatively stable position and completed the mortar erection. Yelena, on the other hand, hid near the balcony and used a telescope and a rangefinder to report the number of enemy troops she had observed.

Since its inception, mortars have always been an effective suppression weapon to support and accompany infantry operations, and they are an extremely important conventional weapon for infantry. Although it has a history of 100 years, it is not for nothing that it quietly occupies a place in the army's equipment in the midst of the competition of various high-tech weapons in modern warfare.

Don't look at the small size of this cannon, but according to the standard configuration, one cannon requires four gunners and one gun commander. In other countries, an additional ammunition operator is arranged. However, when the combat attrition is strict, a single person can also complete the operation of a single cannon. Because this cannon is far easier to operate than ordinary cannons.

Lin Rui quickly finished setting up the mortar and nodded to Yelena.

Yelena quickly determines which direction has the most enemy firepower based on her observations, locks it to the key direction, adjusts the number jù in that direction to the quadrant she is used to, and sets the corresponding angle of fire. and returned all the shooting yuan to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui quickly completed the adjustment of the mortar according to these shooting elements. Then a shell was put into the barrel. This type of gun is provided with a firing pin chamber at the center of the bottom of the firing pin gun tail, and a firing pin chamber is installed. The mortar shell slid through the mouth of the barrel and hit its primer, completing the firing. "Tom!" was a small firing sound, which was indeed low-key amid the dense gunfire and explosions of the battlefield. But the explosion of the shell on the ground was not low-key at all.

The shell landed and exploded in the area where the armed men in blue-gray uniforms were concentrated, and there was a huge explosion that spread to a radius of ten meters in the vicinity. Those armed men in blue-gray military uniforms did not notice what was going on at all, and they were immediately blown up. The shells used by Lin Rui are anti-personnel high-explosive munitions, and the explosive power is very strong. For infantry without armor protection, the lethality is enormous.

The militants in the blue-gray uniforms were stunned for a moment when they were hit by a sudden blow, and fired a few shots indiscriminately in the smoke from the explosion. Little did they know that a mortar was being fired at them on the roof of a building in the distance. I thought it was a grenade fired by the mercenaries in the encirclement. So a few people were killed by the explosion, and after a period of panic, they regrouped.

Yelena made another observation, calculated the distance and direction into shooting Zhu Yuan, and returned it to Lin Rui again. With a cannonball to test his hand, Lin Rui felt much smoother. Anyway, some are shells, so if you adjust the quadrant angle a little, you can just aim at a position. This Chinese-made 60-mm mortar has a maximum theoretical rate of fire of 30 rounds per minute, with an average of one shell per two seconds.

In fact, of course, Lin Rui can't do this, this must be a skilled mortar squad, and multiple gunners can only work together to complete it. Single-handedly, it definitely can't be so fast. However, his hand speed is not slow. Without much correction of bearing, firing twenty shells a minute is like playing.

The misery was the group of militants in blue-gray uniforms below, who were subjected to mortar attacks before they could figure out what the situation was. All of a sudden, explosions rang out. Their relatively tight encirclement and improvised fortifications were completely destroyed by a burst of mortar fire. Most of the militants in blue-gray uniforms began to realize that it was not the mercenaries in the encirclement who were attacking them.

The town was completely under the control of the rebels, and if anyone else tried to rescue them, they would have discovered it long ago. And looking at this fierce Cheng dù, it is likely to be artillery support. The thought of these militants makes my scalp tingle, the reason why they dare to be here, to help these rebels fight against the mercenaries of Morningstar. The biggest reliance is that the other party's communication server was hacked, and the other party's communication was completely paralyzed.

Could it be that their communications have been restored? If so, they would probably use the communication system to bring in helicopter air support. The reason why Morningstar has become the uncrowned king of the African mercenary world is precisely because of their advanced communication command and air superiority. If that's the case, things are a little bit less easy.

Lin Rui's trouble, not only the rebels and the armed personnel in the blue-gray military uniform were panicked. Even the operation commanders Danny and Zhao Jianfei and others were a little puzzled. This gang of armed forces was originally fighting well, and they were tightening the encirclement step by step. But I don't know why, suddenly there were explosions in succession, and they all happened in the most densely populated places. This caused heavy losses to these armed men in blue-gray uniforms.

Lin Rui's round of mortar attacks just now killed and injured many people. Moreover, due to the shock and smoke from the explosion, the armed personnel in blue-gray military uniforms were extremely nervous, and even accidentally injured the armed personnel of the rebels in the confusion. Both sides have needlessly sacrificed several lives.

Lin Rui looked up at Yelena and said, "Why didn't you report it?"

"The smoke was so heavy that I couldn't even see clearly. However, your shots just now were accurate and ruthless. Exploding directly in the crowd, I think their losses should be not small. Yelena leaned against the wall and breathed a sigh of relief, "I must admit that I have never seen such insidious and cunning mortar tactics. ”

At this moment, there was a noisy electric sound from Lin Rui's headphones, and his spirit immediately perked up, probably because the communication had been restored. He immediately connected the communication and said loudly, "Hey, I'm Lin Rui." This is the regular channel of the UFO team, are you Boss Zhao? I can't hear clearly!"

"Lin Rui, how are you, where are you now?" Zhao Jianfei's voice was still a little vague, but he could barely hear it clearly. Sure enough, the communication was restored, but I don't know if it was someone from the technical department who repaired the system, or if it was another intermittent system restart. Afraid that the communication would be interrupted again, Lin Rui did not dare to hesitate and immediately reported the situation on his side. "I'm not in a good situation here, Ivan and Yelena are injured. ”

"Report your location!" Zhao Jianfei said loudly, "But we can't save you now, we are still surrounded." ”

"Not anymore. Seeing the entire encirclement, where are there continuous explosions?" Lin Ru said in a deep voice, "I will fire a few more shots, and in a few minutes, I will make a gap there." You can break through there!"

"Wait, you did those continuous explosions just now?" Zhao Jianfei said with some surprise.

Lin Rui nodded, "I don't have time to explain more now, you just need to remember that after two minutes, you will concentrate all your strength and rush to that position." As long as that point is broken, the entire encirclement will completely collapse. As long as those guys in blue-gray uniforms retreat, the rest of the rebels won't be able to stop you. Without further ado, I'll have to hurry. ”

Yelena nodded to Lin Rui at the window and said, "Those mysterious militants seem to be a little suspicious, shall we continue?"

"Even if you are suspicious, we will fight the same, and we will not expose it for a while. And if they slow down, it will become very difficult to fight. Lin Rui shook his head, "Besides, Zhao Jianfei and I have already made an appointment." As long as I give that area enough blows to destroy most of the resistance. Then he will start to break through from that direction in two minutes. ”

"They're ready to break out?" Yelena said in surprise.

"Within two minutes, so we have to pick things up. Lin Rui nodded, "Prepare to report my position!"

Yelena took a deep breath and continued to report the calculated shooting yuan to Lin Rui, Lin Rui completed the last mortar adjustment, and it was another round of reckless continuous fire. Mortar shells cut a parabola in a wide arc, constantly smashing on the heads of the militants. The militants were completely beaten and could not hold their heads up, and for the first time began to retreat.

And when they found that they had retreated, the black rebels simply turned around and ran away with their guns in their hands
