Chapter 1123 Launch

This Exocet rocket launcher is an inertial guided weapon, and whether it can hit a target tens of kilometers away can only rely on the accuracy of the ballistic calculation before launch. What's more, Yang Mingzhi noticed that a light wind began to blow today, this wind is very weak, but it has existed for a long time in a force from north to south, and the rocket artillery will also deviate from direction during a long flight.

He did some final calculations and also checked the angle of the launcher.

"Lavrendi!"

"Here!"

"Now you make one last bit of change to the launcher, which shifts the direction of the launch by two degrees to the north."

"Yes! However, the commander ......"

"There is no need to question it, I'm afraid that the wind will blow the rocket artillery away!"

Just as they were adjusting the launcher, Yang Mingzhi also checked the rockets to be launched. He crouched down, stroking the winged rockets as if he were a baby.

In terms of workmanship, the arsenal is produced in the current harsh environment, and its workmanship is quite rough. If the rockets were produced in the regular arsenals of the Soviet Union, they would have been very aesthetically pleasing, at least in appearance, regardless of their performance.

These bombs are all made by hammering the iron sheet into a cylinder and then heat welding it in the blacksmith village, and the metal performance is also relatively poor, and its carbon content is relatively high, so it is barely used to make rocket artillery.

Even if such a weapon will be put into actual combat for the first time, Yang Mingzhi will not be completely confident until he really obtains the results.

He sighed: "Hey! I really don't know if you guys will be able to fly to Chernihiv! ”

At this moment, Lavrenty will report: "Report to the commander, the final commissioning of the launcher is complete, will we launch it?!" ”

"Okay! It's finally time to do this! ”

Yang Mingzhi shook his body and looked at the rising sun: "It's now, it's time for us to fight against the sun!" Lavrendi, inform your people, the irrelevant ones retreat from the launch site! ”

"Yes! So, what about you?! ”

"Me?" Yang Mingzhi smiled, "Of course I'm here at the launch site in person, and I want to watch all the weapons I shoot fly into the sky!" ”

The body of the projectile had been placed on the chute, a rather primitive bolt-type ignition mechanism, and the long rope was also held in the hands of the two soldiers.

The fighters suddenly dug two large pits one and a half meters deep, and the fighters in charge of lighting the fire squatted here. For no other reason, the scorching storm and smoke set off by the launch of the "Exocet" were much stronger than that of the "Catfish". The brave warrior, with his gas mask on, gripped the firing rope tighter and tighter, and he poked his head out, waiting for the right hand raised by the commander himself, not far away, to fall.

Yang Mingzhi took a deep breath and looked at his watch, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

He finally made up his mind, and his right hand fell suddenly.

There was a soldier next to both launchers, and they completed the final ignition, and the expected huge amount of smoke quickly buried the launchers. Only the two fire dragons soared into the air with their long white tails!

They flew into the sky, and the onlookers erupted in an astonishing roar. Yang Mingzhi had a smile on his face, in this situation, the rocket artillery he built was like a surface-to-air missile, compared with the higher-combat rockets of later generations, the smoke of the "Flying Fish" was amazing, and the white tail was even more amazing.

After all, they are flying into the sky, and it is not surprising that black powder and ammonium nitrate are pressed into a dense solid, and this "solid rocket" has great flight efficiency. A huge amount of gas is ejected from the tail nozzle, and a large amount of dust immediately reacts with the moist air and turns into a cloud. The wingtips of the wings on both sides of the missile body also broke the balance of air, and it pulled up two thin clouds of smoke.

The two white dragons went straight to the direction of Chernihiv, and no one doubted whether the launch direction was correct, and what restricted the accuracy of the rocket was now basically only whether the amount of fuel was completely up to standard when it was filled with fuel.

Yang Mingzhi no longer has the luxury of expecting so much, so he rushes the gorgeous flight of the rocket, what do you have to question?

The majesty blew some of the smoke away, and he also ordered a soldier lying not far from the launch site: "Hurry up and reload!" Load the third and fourth pieces! We're going to launch as efficiently as possible! ”

The soldiers carried the new "catfish" to the launch rack, and they were surprised to find that the steel slide was still warm, and even some parts actually showed traces of ablation.

They immediately reported the situation to the commander.

Yang Mingzhi was a little surprised: "It's not good, the improvised launch frame is really too simple!" The soldiers were all waiting for his decision, Yang Mingzhi gritted his teeth and ordered: "Don't pay attention to these small problems, just launch these ten rockets, and our final mission will be completed!" ”

In this way, the warriors also did their bidding, and the "Flying Fish" loaded the slide again, and soon, two more white dragons took off into the air......

On the other hand, the commander of the German division, Hendrysen, deep in the city of Chernihiv, knew nothing about the danger that was coming.

No, he should have been worried a long time ago, but the warnings of those captives were only a kind of deceitful curse for the time being.

On the morning of 22 May, the hanging of the group of "rats" caught in the early hours of the morning was to be officially carried out. According to the usual practice of the German army, they usually carried out executions between 8 and 10 a.m., and this time the execution was delayed, for the simple reason that Hendryson had overslept and his men were embarrassed to disturb his sweet dreams suddenly.

Thus, the captured partisans of the Soviet army's underground resistance group were pulled by iron trucks to the gallows in the city square at seven o'clock in the morning, while the German division commander, who supervised the execution, did not arrive.

The torturers' previous words seemed to say that there would be sabotage from the Soviets today, and that Hendryson could respond to all changes, and his men reacted somewhat. They estimated that there were still some "rats" who had not yet been caught, and that they were likely to rob the court during the execution.

This seems to be a very plausible assumption, as a large number of citizens will be ordered to watch the execution, and there will be saboteurs who have not yet been caught.

The Chernihiv puppet security police, and the officers and men of the police regiment, part of the officers and soldiers of the 634th Division, entered the city streets in large numbers, and erected improvised machine-gun fortresses at several intersections, and half-track armored vehicles also entered the city.

And the city square where the hangings were carried out, where the Germans deployed their most powerful forces. Even the roofs of many buildings were occupied by machine gunners.

More than 50,000 citizens were ordered to watch the execution.

In the past, there were not many onlookers at the execution of the partisans, and there was a lot of talk about the reason why the Germans forced a large number of citizens to participate in this bloody event, because the entire city of resistance was almost wiped out by the early morning action! At least that's what the Germans thought.

In terms of emotion, the Ukrainians, who are in the majority in the cities, do not like Stalin, and they do not want the rough notifications of the Axis powers! Even if they want to secede from the Soviet Union, they want to truly create a Ukrainian-dominated state. This, obviously, is impossible.

Since the occupation of the city, they have witnessed a large number of executions in this city square. Many people who are innocent are convicted of being guerrillas or supporters of guerrillas. The strong military pressure has made the city residents dare not speak out, and they live in fear all day long, and they do not see the future at all.

At this moment, 50,000 people were driven to the square by German guns and armored vehicles, and they all looked at the soldiers around them who were loaded with guns, and even noticed that machine guns were set up on the roof.
