Chapter 918: Light Rocket Artillery

CBД (Снайперская_Винтовка_Драгунова, Dragunov Sniper Rifle), abbreviated as SVD, is an excellent sniper weapon that has spread widely around the world.

As a semi-automatic sniper rifle with a gas conductive automatic method, the former Soviet designer Yevgeny Fedorovich Dragunov borrowed from the reliable design of the AK series rifle and developed, the gun can fire a variety of 7.62*54R ammunition, respectively, ordinary bullets and 7N1 sniper bullets, or more advanced 7N14 sniper bullets, with a fairly strong penetration ability against typical targets.

The early SVD sniper rifle was designed to fire ordinary rifle bullets, and the barrel wrap distance was 320 mm, and later in order to adapt to firing more accurate special sniper bullets, the wrapping distance was shortened to 240 mm, as a result, the SVD sniper rifle was very poor in firing ordinary bullets, and many people mistakenly thought that it was actually a precision shooting rifle - this understanding also has some truth, SVD in the Soviet Army was not assigned to a special sniper, but was often assigned to the squad and platoon level as fire support, Its own design can hardly be called a professional sniper rifle.

However, whether a rifle counts as a "sniper rifle" is a matter of opinion, and what argument could be more convincing than a solid record.

As far as the gun in Salahardin's hand is concerned, since it is a product after the 1970s, the accuracy of firing ordinary 7.62*54R bullets is lackluster, but now there is neither 7N1 nor 7N14, which Lao Maozi regards as a treasure, but fortunately, the engagement distance is only more than 200 meters. If you are in a hurry, you can use a ruler to hit it the same. Ordinary bounces can still be improvised.

On the way to the airport, I picked up a sniper rifle. Occupying the commanding heights according to Long Yun's orders, Salahardin held his breath and prepared for battle, quietly waiting for the signal for the battle to start.

In the bitter cold wind, the government soldiers on standby were patient.

Because he knew that it was not him who really made the effort at the beginning of the battle, but the second lieutenant and Said, who were preparing for a fire attack in the rear.

Everyone in the group knew that a makeshift squad of four was going to attack a small front-line airfield with at least a few dozen soldiers, and that the chances of winning with light weapons alone were almost none. They all knew how effective their meager guns would be in an offensive battle.

"Mr. 'Red Dragon', uh, since the situation in Mayadin is chaotic now, why don't we go all the way to the sneak attack like before?"

About a quarter of an hour ago, in an abandoned building less than two kilometers from the airport, in an abandoned building less than two kilometers from the airport, and several people were scrambling to build a launch position in an open field with a view in the direction of the airport.

In this raid battle that was decided on the spur of the moment. Although he was influenced by the infiltration of consciousness and obeyed Long Yunyan's words, the alert and capable intelligence officer still retained his mind after all. He felt that it was a bit risky for Long Yun to do this:

"Right now, I'm still worried about the rebel reinforcements, and once the battle starts, maybe we will be surrounded."

"Besieged? Grace ......"

As a kind reminder to the second lieutenant's intelligence officer, Long Yun raised his head and looked at Imran Alayi in front of him, and nodded to him:

"I'm also worried about this: if we do get into the airfield and attack, we will be surrounded and eliminated by the rebels. But, Mr. Ensign, we don't really need to enter the battlefield at all," Speaking of this, Long Yun handed the notepad in his hand to Saeed next to him, on which was a hastily calculated shooting Zhuyuan, he walked to the off-road vehicle with Imran Alayi, and took the shells handed by Salahardin in the car, "Well, you see:

Since we're going to attack the airfield with this thing, I mean, I didn't intend to take it in the first place. - My plan is to blow up that place and the attachment on it! ”

With his personal experience along the way, coupled with many previous experiences, Long Yun already hated the Liberal Party entrenched in the Middle East.

Now, having decided to clean up these people, he naturally chooses a more violent way of attacking.

In fact, Long Yun was very familiar with this kind of weapon that was not good-looking, almost the same as a farm tool after being covered with dust and mud, and this is the Chinese-made Type 63 107mm light rocket launcher that has been popular in low-intensity conflict areas for decades, simple, cheap, easy to use, light and flexible, and fierce.

"Type 63 rocket artillery", this kind of design idea is simple and unique, but the power is not simple at all in the world's lightest rocket artillery, two wheels support a cluster of launch canisters configuration, at first glance it looks like the slag of the soil, even the supporting gas spin steady dìng rocket looks like a cannonball, but it is famous for its low price, full combat weight, easy to disassemble and maneuver, fierce shooting firepower and sufficient ammunition power.

With only a small preset position, a single salvo of the gun could fire twelve rockets at a target area as far as 8.5 kilometers, and it was also easy to reload by manpower.

In the hands of Long Yun and others, the 107 rocket, which weighs less than 20 kilograms, can be easily carried by one person, compared with the BM-21 "Hail" rocket launcher with a caliber of 122 millimeters, which is also widely used in the Middle East, but the supporting rockets with a longer range weigh more than 50 kilograms, and it often takes three people to complete the loading.

In the city of Mayadin, they got 107 rocket launchers and dozens of matching ammunition, and Second Lieutenant Alayi, who was ready for a rapid attack, stood by the rocket launchers full of ammunition with Said.

According to Mr. "Red Dragon", the two of them only had to wait for their time in this deserted abandoned building, and then fire, reload, and fire, and rain all the rockets onto the airfield less than two kilometers away.

As for the task of blocking the external communication of the airport and avoiding the traces of their group, it was completed by Long Yun and Salahardin, and when all the ammunition was exhausted, the two groups immediately retreated from their positions, taking advantage of the hazy night to go all the way south through the front line in the fierce battle.

The firepower is ready, the sniper team is in position, and the next thing is to wait for the moment when the attack is launched.

With the help of a low wall to shield himself from the cold wind and hide his figure in the blurred shadows of the westerly sun, Long Yun, who raised his wrist to look at his watch, saw that the attack was about to start, he took out the walkie-talkie from his arms and put it aside, and unloaded a FN_FAL automatic rifle that was slung diagonally on his back.

Leaning on a small truncated wall with both hands, he peeked into the airport area through the small optical sight temporarily installed on the FAL receiver, and several camouflage-painted and dusty fighters could be seen in the field of view twice magnified; When looking at the situation of the airport, he also made a little difference, Long Yun felt that those fighters with air intake and tail sweep should be attack aircraft such as Su-20/22, it seems that this is indeed just a dilapidated airport, and the parking is all obsolete goods waiting to be returned.

At the moment of the battle, putting aside speculation such as the model of the fighter for the time being, Long Yun tried to adapt to the aiming environment on this trophy, and then decided to remove it and use the anvil-hole mechanical sight of the FN-FAL itself instead.

Abandoning the scope in favor of a crosshair anvil, which is not usually done by soldiers engaged at a distance of more than 200 meters, and there are not many people who can calmly use mechanical sights at such a distance; However, as a pilot, Long Yun's eyesight is far beyond ordinary people, although his shooting skills are not superb, but he can use his good eyesight and the openness of mechanical sights to obtain a wider field of vision, which is convenient for observing the movements of the battlefield panorama.

FN_FAL the anvil sight on the rifle, the two gears are set at 150 meters and 250 meters respectively, and the 7.62* 51_NATO bullets used have stronger penetration, and the accuracy of the gun itself is also very good, which is just a long-range weapon for this raid battle.

Unlike the dirty SVD in Salahadin's hand, the FN_FAL that Long Yun is holding is obviously from the hands of veterans, and the weapon maintenance is quite good, just because the gun itself is from a Commonwealth country like India, and the burst fire mode has been canceled at all.

Such a limitation of firepower has no effect on shooting the enemy from a distance, and Long Yun in this battle is not a sniper, but a temporary cameo commander.

Seeing that time was passing by and rockets were about to appear in the distance, looking up at the gray-yellow sky covered by sand and dust, and barely able to see the sun slanting to the west, Long Yun noticed a trace of a fighter plane looming in the sky; Above the sandstorm-ravaged land, it seems that there is a battle on the clouds, thinking of the suspected falling "ghost" seen on the road before, the young man can't help but squint his eyes, trying to see the situation through the wind and sand, this place is not far from the place where the plane crashed just now, is it an air battle that has not been fought until now?

From the time they set out to the present, the group of the special operations team has braved the dust in the sky, and they have no idea about the situation around them or the situation in the sky; Looking at the sky now, Long Yun was only out of curiosity, under the cover of the yellow sand, he could only vaguely see the traces of fighter planes in the sky, as for the origin and movement of these planes, he couldn't see it at all.

At this moment, the moment of the raid finally came, and the second lieutenant in the rear fire position immediately gave the order to open fire.

He was looking up at the dusty sky near the airport, and in an instant, black dots dragging smoke and dust appeared in his sight, and the characteristic whistling of rockets drifted into Long Yun's ear drums, and he immediately recovered from watching and prepared to shoot. (To be continued......)
