Chapter 400: Hellbringer 3
Mobile reading
Yang Muqin looked up at the large group of infantry who were walking towards the courtyard in the distance at the door, smiled strangely, and made a gesture towards the soldiers on the wall.
The soldier quickly reported a coordinate, and then Yang Muqin repeated the coordinates through the walkie-talkie. A short time later, a dull sound of cannon fire was heard in the distance behind the village, followed by the sound of cannonballs streaking across the sky.
A cannonball streaked across the sky and landed straight at the front of the marching queue, planting its head in the snow, splashing a large patch of snow, and then the shell exploded slightly, and a puff of red smoke rose up, which was the artillery using the red smoke bomb for calibration.
The soldier on the wall held a telescope, made a rough measurement using the scale on the telescope, and then turned his head and reported, "One hundred meters forward, fifty meters to the right." โ
"One hundred meters forward, fifty meters to the right!" Yang Muqin's crisp and loud voice came from the walkie-talkie, Hong Jie put down the walkie-talkie, walked to the gun position, checked the shooting table, and took out what looked like a grenade from his pocket. The object is in the shape of a cylinder, with several levers engraved on the lower circle, each with a number, and at the top is a disc with a number of small openwork windows, each of which has a numerical scale. He first put the zero switch on, then flicked the zero lever, then put a few levers on the cylinder into position, then flicked the multiplication lever, and then shook the crank on it a few times. Then he turned the "grenade" around again and read the numbers out of the small openwork window above.
Sun Dike's distant affection Sun Shu is revealed by the moon secret sail
This thing is the hand-cranked calculator that Zhang Yuan made out of boredom, and the structure inside it is very precise, and the key is that its size is still very small. The precision gears inside are accurate to the micron, and it is impossible to process them according to the current industrial conditions, so this thing is not mass-produced, but directly made by hand. Speaking of which, the man-hours of consuming a "Senate Calculator" are even much greater than the man-hours of a reconnaissance vehicle, not to mention its small size, not light weight, and the cost is also soaring into the sky, which is already equivalent to a rhinoceros transporter, and may even be a little more. If the user is not a veteran, Zhang Yuan would not have allowed this thing to leave his side, you must know that in industrial design and manufacturing, computing is the most common work that needs to be carried out.
But it was a patriarch who came to borrow this thing, that is, Hong Jie, and Hong Jie didn't know where he heard that the Industrial Committee had a small calculator, which did not need electricity, and only needed to rotate to calculate, so he ran to Zhang Yuan, and finally succeeded in borrowing this calculator after Zhang Yuan denied it in every possible way.
This kind of calculator is more cumbersome to calculate, and it needs to be disassembled and oiled frequently, but the advantages are also very obvious. First of all, it does not need electricity, in the old world before the crossing, these calculators have long been eliminated by electronic calculators, but the only reason why electronic calculators eliminate mechanical computers is only lightweight, an electronic calculator not only needs the support of the electronic industrial system, whether it is a precision circuit board, an operation controller, a liquid crystal display, and even a small battery that provides power is not provided by the industrial system of the Senate at this stage. However, the hand-cranked calculator only needs to be calculated by the rotation of the gears, and the energy consumed can be completed only by hand-cranking; Secondly, because it is all made of metal, it is still far more reliable than the electronic calculator with a plastic case, and if it fails, it only needs to be disassembled to rearrange and combine the gears, levers and other parts inside, and it will not be permanently damaged and can only be recycled. The sturdy shell also ensures that it will not be easily damaged in the heat of battle, which is why Hong Jieyi borrowed this calculator from Zhang Yuan.
With the help of the calculator, Hong Jie took far less than half the time to calculate the value, and then he motioned to the soldier to adjust the elevation and direction angles of the gun, and after checking, motioned to the loader to reload another smoke bomb.
The smoke bomb they use is actually a hollow iron can, which is stuffed with some white phosphorus as a smoke agent and incendiary agent, this smoke bomb is actually equivalent to a white phosphorus incendiary bomb, but the amount of filling is much less than that of an incendiary bomb, and it will be consumed if it continues to burn for five or six minutes. As for the color, it is just that the incendiary is filled with a dye so that it can dye the color of the smoke at the same time as it smokes, so that it can be distinguished from other smoke screens on the battlefield.
The bomber stepped forward with a smoke bomb in his hand, handed it to the loader in front of him with both hands, and the loader took it with both hands, and the deputy gunner next to him pulled the bolt to check that there was no debris inside, and then signaled for loading.
The caliber of this shell is not the 90 mm commonly used by the Senate artillery in the past, but the 75 mm used, and the whole gun is not as stupid and thick as the previous 1629 smoothbore guns, but much more sophisticated, the barrel of this gun is very short, only about 0.6 meters, the wheels used were originally steel wheels, but because they will fight in the north, they have been replaced with wooden wide wheels to reduce the pressure on the ground, and the original steel wheels have been installed under the gun body as a bracket, This is done in order to reduce the displacement that occurs when firing the gun, so that the aiming time of the gun can be reduced when firing again, and the gun itself also uses spring cushioning, which can greatly reduce the recoil of the gun when firing.
This kind of artillery is the 1630 type infantry gun newly developed by Lin Shenhe's weapons factory, this kind of artillery has a caliber of 75 millimeters, the total combat weight is only about 220 kilograms, and the total length is not more than 3 meters. This kind of artillery has a short barrel and low chamber pressure, and the firing distance is not too far, but it is still unique in this time and space, and can basically cover all targets from 100 meters to 3,000 meters.
"Fire!" Hong Jie checked the data again, and then gave the order, and then the shooter pulled the ignition rope sharply, and the muzzle of the gun suddenly flashed a long tongue of fire, and at the same time, the gun body sat back sharply, making a shocking roar.
Screams rang out in the air again, and the Spy Officers on the wall stared wide-eyed, staring at the slowly approaching rebels in the distance. "Poofโ" A large cloud of snow suddenly burst into the crowd in the distance, mixed with blood splatters, followed by a puff of smoke.
"This is the position, three shotguns fired rapidly." Yang Muqin looked at the situation in the distance with a telescope and excitedly shouted into the walkie-talkie, "Quick!" โ
"Shotgun! Three rapid fires! Begin! Hong Jie hurriedly shouted at the gunners. There wasn't just one cannon in front of him, his artillery company had brought three infantry guns this time. At this time, the three infantry guns were arranged in a zigzag position in the artillery position, and in the distance they were a company of Foreign Legion soldiers half-crouching and half-kneeling in the snow, and the Foreign Legion's task was to protect the safety of these artillery pieces, and if the enemy rushed over, they would be completely dispersed.
Immediately after that, the three guns roared almost at the same time, and the smoke from the guns suddenly rose, and the artillerymen's hands covering their ears quickly loosened, and the shellers brought the shells in their arms, and the loaders threw aside the brass shells that were still smoking at their feet, took the shells with both hands, and stuffed them into the chambers of the guns from the open bolts. Then the gunner forcefully closed the bolt, pulled the ignition cord hard, and then repeated the operation. Within twenty-five seconds, three rapid fires per cannon were completed, and the artillerymen stood up straight, picked up the shell casings scattered on the ground and threw them at the cartridge casing collection site, and then opened the gun latch to inspect and clean the shells.
The array of the rebel army is quite neat at the moment, and the experience of so many battles tells them that the dense array is the truth, and the opponent's weapons, even if they are artillery, have limited lethality. As long as the number of people piled up far exceeds the number of people that the opponent can eliminate before the two sides go hand-to-hand, they will basically not lose, in other words, whichever side has more people will be easy to win. The two shells that fell from the sky just now, one fell about two hundred paces in front of them, and it did not kill them at all, and provoked them to laugh at it, but the next shot fell into the crowd, causing two deaths and more than ten injuries in the crowded infantry, and then the smoke made the soldiers breathless, causing some soldiers to have symptoms of poisoning, and began to appear unsteady standing and coughing.
But up to now, these are far from threatening the more than 1,000 rebel troops, even if they lost their leadership due to the shooting of accurate shooters before, but they are still walking ahead of the general inertia, anyway, it doesn't matter if there are officers or not, as long as they rush up and kill these people and recapture the scorpion block Tuoyangkun, the good days in the future will come, so the pace of these soldiers has not only not decreased, but has increased, and some have even begun to run because there is no officer restraint.
The sound of shells piercing through the air was heard again, and the soldiers, not knowing where they were coming from, looked up into the air, and some of them tripped and fell to the ground without paying attention to their feet, causing a burst of laughter. As the sound got closer and closer, they finally began to be a little frightened, knowing that if they were hit by a cannonball, it would not be a happy experience after all, and there would be no more if they hit it.
However, they didn't have to worry about being hit by the shells, the first wave of three shells did not fall to the ground, but exploded in the air at a distance of more than ten meters from the ground, and the cork butt pushed one hundred and eighty round metal shotguns to the ground to the dense crowd, and suddenly the ground was like being hit by a violent hail, and the head and face were baptized by a wave of metal storm.
In the middle of the array, almost everyone in the dense area of bullet rain has been injured or killed, only one or two people are still standing there in a daze, not knowing what happened, their bodies are covered with blood, and some of their clothes have a few bullet holes pierced, they have completely lost their fighting spirit at this moment, just standing there stupidly at a loss.
Hou Yuan is far from hating Moyang Fang's back skills
The rebels who were slowly advancing suddenly stopped, their heads looked at this side, no one knew what was going on here, and at the same time, there was another howling sound in the air, this time a few soldiers with lively minds learned the lesson of their comrades with blood, and ran backwards with their heads in their hands, and the soldiers who were also smart quickly squatted down and raised their shields, covering their heads with their heads. "Bang bang bang" With the sound of three air explosions, three shotguns exploded above them, due to the recoil of the previous shot caused the rear recoil of the cannon to be displaced for a certain distance, so the shells that were fired now are no longer the previous position, there is a relative offset from the previous position, and these deviations are fatal for the group of rebels on the ground.
The crowd gathering area that had not been strafed by the shotgun before now began to enjoy the previous treatment, the shotgun smashed down from the air with a bang, and the crowd on the ground fell to the ground layer by layer like a swarm of ants encountering boiling water, some people were hit so that their heads exploded directly, and the red and white things splashed everywhere, and more people were directly hit by the shotgun from a high place to the body, and the shotgun was densely strafed, and many people were directly beaten into a hornet's nest, lying on the ground motionless.
At this moment, the special reconnaissance team has long since stopped shooting, for them, not to mention the average accuracy of precision rifles at this distance, it is difficult to achieve one shot, even one shot and two shots cannot be compared with the surface killing of shotguns. Everyone has long reached a consensus in their hearts that instead of grabbing people's heads to choose targets from a large group of enemies who are not far from death, it is better to honestly help the artillery to shoot at school, and the effect will be greater and more effective.
Shi Lidong's closed eyes only opened at this moment, and in front of him was a hellish situation, the snow was full of corpses, the wounded were rolling on the ground like stabbed pigs and wailing, blood was flowing everywhere, dyeing all around him bright red, he felt empty in his head and didn't know what to do, and his rapid breathing inhaled the thick smell of blood and the cold and biting air into his lungs, so that he could confirm that he was still alive. Don't look at him, he followed Wang Ziyong from Shaanxi, but because he often did not dare to charge on the battlefield, he was often regarded as a deserter, but he became the overlord of the deserters in the battles again and again, and every time he was ranked in the first column, he could come back alive without any injuries. Today he is probably destined to be the same fate, he turned around here in a daze, there were several soldiers around him still squatting on the ground holding shields, he stepped forward and pulled a handful of mouths and said, "Hurry up!" Brother, maybe it's coming again! โ
But the soldier did not get up but fell sideways to the side, and at this moment Shi Lidong found that the shield in his hand was full of thin holes, and the soldier had already been beaten like a hornet's nest and died no longer to die.
