172 Pre-controlled fragmentation anti-personnel projectiles

Raceno said: "The enemy has already grabbed our field artillery, and I am worried that they will use our field artillery to attack us, so I decided to send troops to recapture the field artillery, and in the process, the Chinese pigs are very likely to use our field artillery to attack us, so I need someone who understands this type of field artillery as an advisor." ”

François smiled: "I see, well, I understand, don't worry, General, I will definitely find a way to minimize the damage of the field artillery attack." ”

Raceno nodded in satisfaction, then called the herald in and said, "Prepare to deliver my orders." ”

The herald replied "yes" in a loud voice, then took out a notebook from his pocket, turned to a blank page, took out a pencil, and waited for Raceno to speak, Raceno said in a deep voice: "Order the 1st Field Regiment to assemble in the small town of Stampala and seize the high ground of the town, and the 2nd Field Regiment to move to the north side of the 1st Regiment to cover the 1st Regiment." ”

The Spaniards dispatched two regiments this time, numbered the 1st Field Regiment and the 2nd Field Regiment, each with four battalions, each with 500 men and one regiment with 2,000 men.

Originally, Raceno's idea was to divide the troops into three ways, and the three roads went hand in hand, directly attacking Cavite, and at the same time sending artillery units to seize the high ground of Stampala Town, but the battle on the high ground of Stampala Town made Raceno change his initial idea, and after the ten field guns were taken away by Lin Fei's troops, Raceno decided to take the high ground of Stampala Town.

The herald wrote down Racherno's orders in a notebook, then handed the notebook and pen to Raceno, who reached out and took it, signed his name on the paper, and the herald ran out with the notebook and conveyed Racherno's orders to the various troops.

Raceno said to Pokinvis: "This time I have arranged for your regiment to attack the high ground of the town of Sampala, you should hurry back and prepare." ”

Popinworth excitedly agreed, and immediately returned to the regiment, and the Spanish 1st and 2nd Field Regiments, as soon as they received the order, changed their route and attacked the small town of Stampala, which was 7 o'clock in the morning on June 8.

On the way to the heights of the small town of Stampala, Pochinavis asked François: "Monsieur François, how far can the troops of the Chinese Empire reach us after occupying the high ground and grabbing our field artillery?" ”

François said: "About six kilometres or more. ”

Pokingworth asked, "Then should we spread out when we are six kilometers away from the small town of Stampala, so as not to be killed by the field artillery?" ”

François shook his head and said: "No need to do that, the distance of six kilometers is too far, it is difficult for them to see us, and it is not too late for us to disperse when it is about three kilometers." ”

Pokingwis nodded first, then sighed and said: "Three kilometers is too far to spread out in formation, although you are not an infantry, you must also know that spreading out the formation will bring a lot of difficulties to the command." ”

François smiled and said: "Spreading out in formation for three kilometers is actually a theoretical way not to be attacked, in practice we don't need to spread out at this distance at all, and it is not too late for us to disperse when their shells fall." ”

Pokingworth asked with some concern, "Wait for the shells to fall and then scatter the formation?" Will it be too late, what if they open fire and inflict heavy damage on us before we break up in formation? ”

François laughed out loud and said, "Colonel Pochinweis, you don't have to worry about this at all, first of all, the Chinese pigs will definitely not be able to operate our artillery, so the shells may not be accurate; Second, the firing speed of the field artillery was very slow, because after each firing the gun, the gun carriage would retreat a long distance due to recoil, and when the field gun returned to its original position, it had to be re-aimed. ”

François and Pochinwis approached the No. 1 heights as they spoke, when a staff officer came over and said: "Report to Colonel Pokinwis, our troops are only six kilometers from the heights of the small town of Stampala. ”

Seeing that the troops were within range of the field artillery, Pokingworth ordered aloud: "Inform all the troops participating in the battle, and be vigilant." ”

The order was delivered, but the Spanish soldiers did not take it seriously, because they did not believe that the field artillery could kill them from such a distance.

After a while, only four kilometers from the high ground of the small town of Sampala, at this moment, suddenly a loud explosion sounded in the distance of the queue, accompanied by fire and smoke, Pocchinis glanced at François and said: "Monsieur François, is this the Chinese pigs using our artillery?" ”

François did not answer immediately, but frowned slightly, and thought to himself, how could this explosion sound different from the explosion of our field shells?

The explosives filled in the Spanish field artillery shells were black powder, while Lin Fei's troops were loaded with trinitrotoluene, and the explosion power was different, and the sound of the explosion was naturally different, but such a subtle difference could not be heard by ordinary people, only François, who knew the shells well, could hear it.

But François didn't express his doubts, he just said "um", and then said, "Yes, it's time to disperse." ”

François's words had not yet fallen, when he suddenly heard the whistle of a cannonball breaking through the air in the distance, and before everyone could react, only a loud "boom" was heard, a shell exploded on the edge of the queue, a cloud of black smoke rose into the air, and a dozen Spanish soldiers fell to the ground screaming.

The explosion of the shell did not reach the ears of the Spanish soldiers, and a series of explosions came in, and the flames and smoke instantly covered the entire ranks.

It turned out that when the Spaniards were marching to the No. 1 Heights, Zhao Menggang personally led the howitzer regiment to the heights, and they carried ten HP-2 howitzers, aimed at the Spaniards and fired shells.

The shells fired this time are all anti-personnel shells, the official name is "LSS-75-1", where "L" stands for "grenade", "SS" stands for "anti-personnel grenade", "LSS" stands for "anti-personnel grenade", "75" represents the caliber of the shell, "1" represents the first model, and if there is an improved model in the future, it will be named "2", "3" and so on.

The body of the "LSS-75-1" shell is made of fragile cast iron, and after the shell explodes, the shell will shatter into countless shrapnel, which are propelled by the gas produced by the explosion at a speed of more than 100 meters per second, and the human body in front of it is like a tissue paper under a red-hot soldering iron.

The shells of the HP-1 mortars equipped by Lin Fei's troops also have anti-personnel shells, and the official name of these anti-personnel shells is "PSS-60-1", which once gave great damage to the Spanish troops in the battle of Wuduan City.

Although the "PSS-60-1" has great lethality, it is much inferior to the "LSS-75-1", not only because of the small caliber, but also because of the "pre-control fragmentation" technology used on the "LSS-75-1".

There are three levels of anti-personnel munitions, the most basic is ordinary anti-personnel munitions, the more advanced ones use the "pre-control fragmentation" technology, and the most advanced ones use the "prefabricated fragmentation technology".

In the pre-control fragmentation projectile, the cast iron of the warhead is processed with a turning tool in advance to create some cracks, and when the shell explodes, the body of the projectile is broken from these cracks, and the number of anti-personnel fragments produced by this technology is several times that of ordinary anti-personnel bullets, so the lethality of "LSS-75-1" is much greater than that of "PSS-60-1".

Therefore, on today's battlefield, every time a shell falls and explodes, countless pieces of destruction will be shot at the Spanish soldiers, and the scattered shmel will beat the Spanish soldiers to the ground.

Pokinwis shouted at the top of his voice, "Spread out... But it was too late, and before the Spanish soldiers could disperse, the shells covered the queue, and the explosion stopped for only two minutes, because the queue was covered with a thick layer of black smoke, and the artillery in the distance could not see the target.

The explosion subsided, the screams of the Spanish soldiers rang out, and Pokinworth looked up, and the tragic situation in front of him made him tremble, and the ground was full of dead Spanish soldiers' bodies, which could no longer be called "corpses" at this time, because few bodies were intact, either missing arms or legs.

The body was covered with blood, scattered puddles of internal organs and broken bones with flesh soaked in pools of blood, the wounded soldiers also lay in pools of blood screaming, and the few uninjured Spanish soldiers knelt on the side and vomited incessantly, even vomiting bile......

Porkingwis did not notice any pain in his body, but he looked down at his body, and found that nothing was missing, so he got up and cried out: "Monsieur François, Monsieur François, where are you?" ”

"I'm here." A weak voice came from under the two corpses, and Polkinwis hurriedly stepped forward, pushed away the two mutilated corpses, and pulled François out, only to see a huge cut in François's thigh, yellow fat and red muscles were exposed, and Bai Sensen's leg bones could be faintly seen.

Pokinwis hurriedly shouted: "Medic, medics, medics?" Where is it? ”

A soldier crawled over and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Pokinweis, the medic is there...", and after saying that, he pointed his hand into the distance, and Pokinwis suddenly saw a headless corpse, and there was a scattered medicine box hanging from the side of the corpse.

Pokingiis had no choice but to reluctantly pick up François and walk behind with a few soldiers to join the troops behind, Pokinvis said to François as he walked: "Monsieur François, your field artillery is too fast... At least a hundred shells fell on top of our heads during that shelling just now..."

François gritted his teeth and said viciously: "The artillery that fired shells at us is definitely not our field artillery..."
