Soldier Assault Commander

371 The Mortars Fade Chen Wants
Shang Qiu smiled like a flower after seeing Fade Chen.

Qi Huan was stunned.

Fade Chen poked Qi Huan's lower back with his hand, Qi Huan gave a oh, and then he came to his senses, and hurried into the guest room.

Chen Fei followed in.

Shang Qiu entertained Fade Chen very warmly, and took the initiative to chat, which was quite different from how he treated Qi Huan before.

The reason for this is actually because Chen Fei had talked with her about weapon design before.

Naturally, Chen Fei's professional skills can't catch up with Shang Qiu, but he has the experience of later generations. People like Qiu, they don't lack ability, but sometimes, they lack an idea.

The reason why Shang Qiu was willing to contact Fade Chen before was only because of Li Li, and because of Li Li's favor, she had to agree, so even if she had talked with Fade Chen on the phone before, she was very strict and businesslike.

But this morning, Fade Chen's tactical display made Shang Qiu's eyes shine. In any case, an excellent man is definitely more able to impress women, but the most important point is that during the afternoon's exchange, Fade Chen and Shang Qiu visited some When it comes to weapons, Fade Chen made comments and suggestions from time to time. For example, for this kind of weapon, Fade Chen inadvertently said that this parameter should be improved. For example, that kind of weapon, he said that it should be strengthened there. It showed Fade Chen's professionalism, and made Shang Qiu's eyes brighten. After a while, she took a new look at Fade Chen. So, naturally, Shang Qiu felt that Fade Chen was friendly and very interested, and even attracted him as a colleague. She was willing to communicate, so when she met Fade Chen, she naturally gave her a good face.

"Instructor Chen, I thought about what you said during the day, but I still can't realize it?" Shang Qiu welcomed Fade Chen and Qi Huan in, sat down, and couldn't help talking about related things Come on, look like a strong woman racing against time.

"Impossible?" Fade Chen was taken aback.

He and Shang Qiu chatted by chance before, and he said that it would be great if Shang Qiu could make him a kind of mortar.

The caliber of this kind of mortar should be large, 120 mm, because this is the heavy firepower that the 101st Battalion relies on most, and once it is shot, it will cause devastating damage.

There are also many types of mortars, but what 101 needs most is battalion-level support firepower.

Troops are usually equipped with small-caliber mortars, which are too weak and have insufficient range, so they must be 120 mm, and the range must be far, at least five kilometers, so as to build a large enough security circle.

There are quite a few mortars on the market that can meet this requirement, so the requirements that Fade Chen really caused Shang Qiu a headache are the second and third points.

Second, this kind of mortar should be light, easy to install and use, and two or three people can lift it up and run all over the mountains, so that effective firepower can be formed quickly and accurately.

In addition, this kind of mortar can be disassembled and used separately, and it can also be easily installed on a pickup truck or a light assault vehicle. In this way, the 101st Battalion can form a high-mobility support firepower that can move quickly and leave after shooting. .

This is not easy to do.

The weight of a 120mm mortar is not a small number.

But the most difficult thing is the third point. Fade Chen asked Shang Qiu to make him a fool-like aiming system. Not only should it be simple, any infantry can use it after a simple training, but it must also be accurate, so that every shot is accurate. , cannot be outrageous, and the error cannot exceed the range.

In addition, it is best for this mortar to be networked with the quadrotor UAV, so that one can observe the target at high altitude, and the other can strike at a distance on the ground, easily eliminating the enemy outside the safe zone.

As soon as these three requirements were mentioned, Shang Qiu was stumped.

When Fade Chen made such a request this afternoon, Shang Qiu frowned, shaking his head repeatedly and saying it was difficult to do, but Fade Chen insisted on it again and again, asking her to think again.

But at this time, Shang Qiu still shook his head, saying that she couldn't do it, she had been thinking about it for a long time, but there was no solution.

"Instructor Chen, I suggest you install mortars!" Shang Qiu said seriously.

The situation in today's world requires more and more light rapid reaction forces.

Naturally, the quick reaction force urgently needs an artillery weapon that can be used for both indirect and direct shooting, so as to adapt to various combat missions under various conditions, and to meet the needs of fire support combat units below the army battalion.

The mortar and howitzer is a fire support weapon between light and heavy weapons. It is called "the extension of the firepower of light weapons and the supplement of firepower of heavy weapons". It has become famous in recent years and has been highly praised by the armies of various countries.

As a dual-purpose artillery, the mortar can perform both indirect aiming and direct aiming shooting, and the ability to direct aiming and shooting is a major change in the mortar, which is very suitable for the needs of modern battlefield operations. In urban warfare and mountain warfare, the mortar and howitzer will definitely play an important role.

The future development trend of the mortar is the tracked or wheeled fully enclosed turret self-propelled mortar, mainly with a caliber of 120 mm.

Today, many countries are fully launching turret-type 120mm self-propelled mortars, because the shooter's loading, aiming and launching operations are all carried out in a closed turret, which has good protection capabilities.

Self-propelled howitzers in some countries even widely adopt more advanced and complete fire control systems, whose functions are comparable to those of advanced howitzers.

So Shang Qiu suggested that 101 use mortars.

If the 101st Battalion was just an ordinary combined infantry battalion, it would naturally not be a problem.

However, the 101st Battalion needs to face a difficult task, that is, they are isolated and do not have enough transportation capacity to transport too many things in place in a short period of time. Moreover, the mission environments they face are often relatively special, so they have great influence on combat operations. Clear requirements, light weight, weapons and equipment that can be equipped on the convoy, but also can be carried by a few infantry to run all over the mountains and plains, so the mortar is definitely not suitable for 101.
Therefore, the 101 is not suitable for being equipped with a mortar and howitzer, but can only be equipped with a mortar and a rocket launcher at the same time, or a recoilless gun.

"Instructor Chen, I can't do what you want!" Shang Qiu shook his head when he saw Fade insisting, and ruthlessly refused.

Fade Chen pondered for a while, and then said: "Shanggong, please help us find a way, please! In terms of weight reduction, I suggest that you consider new alloys. As for the sight and sight system, I won't talk about this, I believe You can do it."

Before Fade Chen finished speaking, Shang Qiu resolutely refused: "Sorry, instructor Chen, I can't do it!"

Fade Chen gritted his teeth, and said with a ferocious vigor that he could not let go of the child and let go of the wolf: "Well, Shanggong, if you help me solve this problem, I will help you improve the design of the marker bomb!"
