Chapter 317: The Effect Of Indirect Aim, The Company Commander Was Stunned (Please Subscribe!)
Turning back the time to a few minutes ago, in the war room, everyone was staring at the screen expectantly.
Guo Shouyi had just issued an attack order, and the troops of the demonstration battalion were moving in an orderly manner.
At the same time, the Second Battalion also responded.
Frontal combat, flanking interception.
The command of both sides at the beginning was quite satisfactory, and it can't be called unexpected.
But there was one thing that caught Liu's attention.
"Is that the tank from the demonstration battalion? Why doesn't it move?"
His eyes stayed behind the front line, on the marks of the few tanks that were not moving.
"Their task is to cover the attack, right?" The chief of staff also noticed the abnormality.
Judging from the markings on the map, this is the tank company of the demonstration battalion.
Just now Guo Shouyi's order was to let them assist the Second Company to press forward, but after the order was issued, only the infantry moved.
The tanks stayed where they were.
This kind of cover attack, without the firepower of a tank company, the effect will be greatly reduced.
"Is something wrong?" Chief of Staff Lu Li couldn't help guessing.
Hearing his words, Liu Nanru shook his head, "Probably not, Erlian's forward pressure has not stopped."
He has been paying attention to the battle situation. Although the tanks of the first company did not move in place, the second company seemed to be flat at all.
If something happened to the cover force, the Second Company would definitely respond.
At this time, Zhang Baiyuan was also staring at the screen.
He didn't participate in the discussion between the two old partners, but he was also thinking about it.
Why did the tank company in charge of covering fire not make any action for a long time?
Was it an accident?
If it was an accident, it should be reported to the command post, right?
Didn't hear it at all.
Or do they have other plans?
But the order from the command post has just been issued, isn't their primary task to execute the order?
Or, are they planning to preserve their strength and provide long-distance support?
But the distance is too far, the tank's shooting......
wrong!
"Five two three" flashed in Zhang Baiyuan's mind, and suddenly remembered something.
The last time he went to the demonstration camp to inspect the training situation and investigate the live ammunition training of the artillery, he saw the training in the demonstration camp like a joke.
Guo Shouyi was actually teaching tanks to aim and shoot.
At that time, he only thought it was nonsense, but Guo Shouyi had already agreed to it, so it was hard to stop him.
In the end, it was just that the tank company was not doing its job properly, and it didn't take it to heart.
But looking at the scene on the map now, the distance between the two sides is so far...
"Isn't it really what I thought?" Thinking of all this, Zhang Baiyuan's eyes gradually widened.
In his heart, there was a hint of expectation.
"Old Zhang, what did you say?" Liu Nanru asked suspiciously when he heard him talking to himself.
Zhang Baiyuan shook his head slowly, "It's okay."
Even though he said that, he never took his eyes off the screen.
Just at this time, a voice came from the communication channel of the second battalion's command post:
"Call the headquarters! Encountered enemy artillery fire head-on!"
This is the frontline correspondent reporting the battle situation to the rear command post.
Hearing this voice, Zhang Baiyuan's eyes froze.
His gaze turned to the side of the screen.
There are a few blue dots over there, moving in one direction at a uniform speed.
Look at the logo, that is the artillery team of the demonstration battalion.
They just finished shooting not long ago, and after forming a confrontation, they are relocating their positions and changing their firing points.
That is, they have no time to shoot at all.
Where did the bombardment come from?
In Zhang Baiyuan's mind, that guess became stronger and stronger.
But when he thought of the actual execution of this matter, he had an incredible feeling.
"Perhaps I was mistaken."
He said so, ready to continue to observe.
"Anti-aircraft counterattack!"
Li Fei's order was issued to the troops through the command post.
He let the anti-aircraft artillery counterattack, and arranged for the infantry team to fight.
It sounds like a very normal battlefield game.
But in the next second, another message was conveyed to the command post.
"Call the command post! Flank hit by enemy fire!"
As soon as the report sounded, the entire war room could not remain calm.
Isn't the interval between the front and rear blows too fast?
Niu Guowang and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to understand the successive messages.
There is no artillery to attack.
Don't they need to reload after shooting?
Moreover, one shot was from the front, and the other was from the flanks. The pause between the two shots in different directions was too short.
Liu Nanru was also very puzzled. He subconsciously turned his eyes and searched for the location of the artillery of the demonstration battalion on the map.
"Huh?" The next second, he froze.
On the map, the logo of the artillery of the demonstration battalion was moving.
This time, he was completely stunned.
"Fuck! The artillery of the demonstration battalion is still moving!"
"How is this going?"
"The artillery didn't fire at all. Where did the bombardment come from?"
Others also noticed anomalies on the map.
Because he was too surprised, Niu Guowang even swears.
Obviously the artillery is still on the move, and there is no chance to shoot at all.
As a result, the Second Battalion reported two consecutive artillery strikes.
More shelling out of thin air is even more outrageous than hitting ghosts in the daylight.
In a rigorous military exercise, any situation must be realistic, and even if there is a ghost, it must be done in accordance with the Basic Law.
As a result, now, two more rounds of shelling came out of thin air, which is really weird.
"How is this possible!" Lu Li couldn't believe it.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the communication channel has already sounded, and then flew a grumpy voice:
"what is going on!"
He connected to the frontline troops and was questioning.
What I got was the company commander's aggrieved response, "We don't know, battalion commander, it's just that two rounds of shells were shot down!"
"Grass! Here we go again!"
......
The brief conversation lasted only a moment before it descended into chaos.
When the communication ended, several people in the war room looked as if they had seen a ghost.
"What's going on here!" Liu Nanru frowned, and immediately looked at the chief of staff, "Didn't you block the exercise area?"
Usually the drills will be prepared in advance, and the drill area will be blocked early.
On the day of the exercise, there will be no extra force areas in the area except for the two sides of the exercise.
But now, there are several rounds of shelling out of thin air.
The only possibility of this matter is that there are still troops in it.
But upon hearing this, Lu Li shook his head resolutely, "Impossible, how could there be other troops on our training ground.
This kind of thing is impossible even if you think about it.
The 168 brigade is all on holiday today, and they are watching and studying exercises.
And apart from the troops in the brigade, there will be no other teams.
Each brigade is stationed separately and there will be no foreign troops.
But in this case, things are even more unbelievable.
"Is the frequency of shelling... a little too fast?" Fu Bowen asked hesitantly.
There are intervals between artillery strikes, and they are not short.
Preparations are required from loading to aiming to shooting, and the interval is longer if the transfer is counted.
And now the artillery of the demonstration battalion is being transferred.
At this time, how could there be shelling?
"Could it be a false positive?" After denying Liu Nanru's words, Lu Li put forward his own guess.
Hearing this, Guowang and others nodded their heads one after another.
If external forces are excluded, the biggest possibility is false positives.
But as a team that has experienced several drills, would the Second Battalion make such a low-level mistake as a false report?
"Maybe it has nothing to do with false alarms." A voice interrupted their discussion.
It was Zhang Baiyuan with a wry smile.
Hearing his words, everyone looked over one after another.
Sensing the urgency for the answer in the eyes of Liu Nanru and Lu Li, Zhang Baiyuan said with a complicated expression: "These bombardments...may come from tanks.
His heart was also filled with shock, but at this time, he could only express his own guesses.
Indirect shooting sounds outrageous at first glance.
Even he felt that it was impossible to apply this kind of thing in actual combat.
But for the current situation, apart from indirect glances, there is really no second explanation.
"What do you mean?" Liu Nanru saw the shock in his old partner's eyes, and hurriedly asked.
The matter was too outrageous to give a short explanation, Zhang Baiyuan thought for a long time, but he could only come to the conclusion first, "The blow to the Second Battalion was not an artillery attack, but a salvo of grenades from tanks.
"How is it possible!" Lu Li was the first to question.
There is still a difference between tanks and artillery, and on the battlefield, tanks have no chance to fire salvos, and even the targets are different.
"The aiming methods of tanks and artillery are different, and the Second Battalion is not a recruit, so the form of attack can still be judged." Liu Nanru also expressed his opinion, "I don't agree with Zhang Baiyuan's statement.
He thought that Zhang Baiyuan could give a reasonable statement, but this statement was even more outrageous than the Second Battalion being hit by artillery fire.
Niu Guowang and the others also shook their heads decisively, "It must be a mistake."
"Well, there's an essential difference between a tank and a cannon.
"It should be a false alarm!"
As the combined battalion commanders, they know nothing about tanks.
Weapons with different aiming methods, how can they be confused.
Hearing what they said, Zhang Baiyuan smiled wryly and said, "Actually, at the beginning, I also thought it was unreliable, but..."
He paused and asked: "The tank itself has the function of indirect aiming. If the tank gunner is trained to learn indirect shooting, can the salvo be completed?"
When he said this, Zhang Baiyuan turned his gaze to the screen.
On the satellite map, the tanks belonging to the first company still stayed in place, seemingly without any movement.
Noticing the tank above, Liu Nanru's heart skipped a beat.
"you mean?"
He didn't believe it at first, but if this was the case, then the tanks that were not moving on the map seemed to be able to match right away.
"The last time I went to the demonstration camp to inspect the training situation, Guo Shouyi was leading the artillery training, but besides the artillery, there is another team, which is the tank gunner."
"At that time, I asked the tank gunner why he was in the artillery training ground. Guo Shouyi's answer was to learn indirect shooting."
Zhang Baiyuan explained what he saw.
When he finished his last sentence, the war room became strangely quiet.
Tank gunner, indirect fire.
How are these two completely different systems connected?
In other words, what kind of brain circuit does Guo Shouyi have that allows tanks to go to school to aim and shoot?
What's the point of a direct-aiming tank learning indirect shooting and using it as a cannon?
In an instant, countless questions emerged in their hearts...
But when these doubts dissipated and looked at the map again, it seemed that everything could be explained.
But is such a thing really possible?
"Access to the company-level communication of the demonstration camp!"
Without further ado, Liu Nanru greeted the technician immediately.
After receiving the order, the signal soldiers in the war room immediately acted.
In combat, the communication channels of the two sides of the exercise are independent, and the battalion level cannot interfere with each other.
do
The war room also serves as the director's department, and it is very easy to access the communication.
As soon as the communication soldiers operated, the first-level communication of the demonstration battalion was quickly connected.
Under Liu Nanru's order, the channel monitoring mainly locked on the first company of tanks that were not moving in the rear.
"Access complete!"
After the communication soldier finishes his work, he will report and open the channel at the same time.
In the next second, Shi Rong's rough voice appeared in the battle room king:
"Scale 2013.4, direction 1521.0, distance 984 meters, release!"
"Scale 2013.4, direction 1391.4, distance 1300 meters, release!"
In the quiet channel, there is no communication, only he is like a clockwork machine, reporting a coordinate after a while.
And such coordinate numbers are only used by artillery in combat.
"Are you sure this is the channel of the tank company?"
"Report Chief, yes!"
Thinking that he connected to the wrong channel, Liu Nanru confirmed it again.
After getting an affirmative answer, Liu Nanru remained silent.
Coordinates, gauges, and distances are all shooting elements that are only used in artillery shooting.
And now, such an order appeared in the tank company.
It shows that what Zhang Baiyuan said has become a fact.
The demonstration camp is really using tanks as artillery.
A tank company firing continuously on the spot without being affected by the battle situation can indeed achieve such a firing frequency.
But why!
Liu Nanru really couldn't figure out why tanks should be used as artillery.
"Guo Shouyi is crazy!"
During the long silence, Lu Li let out an exclamation.
This sentence also expressed the feelings of other people.
Yeah, how crazy would it be for a tank gunner to learn to aim and use the tank as a cannon.
Isn't this just looking for something to do?
However, the effect of doing this seems to be not bad?
When they realized this, the mood of everyone could no longer be described in terms of surprise.
Especially Niu Guowang and others felt that their command philosophy had been hit.
I have studied tank combat for so long, and the basic application of battlefield tanks, are they all fake?
At this moment, Liu Nanru was already lost in thought.
He was also quite shocked, but out of a general's instinct, after calming down, he immediately thought about the advantages of doing so.
The undisturbed salvo of tanks in the rear, first of all, the biggest advantage is that it can pour firepower without any influence, and maximize the tank's rate of fire and flexibility.
But problems came accordingly.
How to ensure 0.0 accuracy for such a fast shooting?
There is one less company of tanks on the front line, how to ensure the advantage in combat?
Continuous shooting, where do the elements come from?
These are the biggest problems besides the benefits of tank indirect shooting.
Lu Li also realized this, and asked the most critical question, "The demonstration battalion lacks a company of tanks, so I'm afraid it won't be able to defeat it head-on?"
"Perhaps these are not what the demonstration camp should consider." Zhang Baiyuan responded.
When he spoke, he listened to the communication channel of the Second Battalion on the other side.
Inside, there is the chaotic report of the correspondent:
"Call the headquarters! The front is under shelling again!"
"He was shelled, and the frontal vehicle was damaged!"
"Under shelling..."
The battle situation on the front line is constantly reported to the rear.
Most of them are the words of artillery strike.
This answer seemed to be responding to Lu Li's question.
No matter how the accuracy is guaranteed, where the elements come from, and how to gain an advantage from the front, at least every round of salvo by the tank company has achieved the effect.
Under this rich victory, all problems disappeared directly.
The Second Battalion is now too busy to take care of themselves, so there is no time to suppress the demonstration camp.
The original balance of the battle of the Synthetic Battalion was broken by these rounds of volleys.
The more serious situation for the second battalion is another piece of news.
In the communication channel of the command post of the demonstration battalion, Guo Shouyi's voice sounded again: "The artillery disperses and strikes the center line!"
It turned out that during the fighting just now, the artillery of the demonstration battalion completed the transfer.
At this time, Guo Shouyi ordered the artillery to disperse the attack.
The centerline tanks of the Second Battalion that had dispersed could basically be covered by the artillery firepower.
In other words, the tank shooting has not stopped, and the artillery shooting is coming again.
Such repeated attacks, in the eyes of the soldiers of the second battalion, were continuous shelling.
Thinking of their state at this time, Zhang Baiyuan was a little dumbfounded. .
