blood of vietnam war

Chapter [-] Mortar

At first I wasn't sure if the Yue Guizi would underestimate the enemy, but when I saw the Yue Guizi adjust the mortar to the edge of the jungle and assemble it swaggeringly, I knew that the Yue Guizi underestimated us.

The Vietnamese army judged this way: a team of seven people can also approach the high ground where the enemy has been stationed by more than 100 meters, which shows that the enemy's firepower is not very strong; A target, indicating that the marksmanship is not very accurate.It is initially estimated that the enemy's firepower consists of three to four 56 and a half... As for the comrade who was killed 400 meters away, the PLA's accurate marksmanship can also hit targets more than 400 meters away, maybe it is luck.

So the Vietnamese army didn't pay attention to us at all... Mortars are the most suitable to deal with such targets hiding in civilian houses, so they adjusted the mortars without thinking much.

The reason why the Yue Guizi dared to do this was mainly because the edge of the jungle was more than 400 meters away from where we were. They knew very well that the 56 and a half of our army can only hit targets within 400 meters, but the mortar has a range of several kilometers... ...so it's a situation where they can beat us and we can't beat them.

It's just that they didn't expect that what I was holding was a sniper rifle...

At the beginning, I pointed the scope at the gunners who were adjusting the elements, but then I thought about it: All the devils have excellent military qualities, and there are too many people in an army who can shoot mortars. It seems that I killed a few gunners in this way. It doesn't seem to have much effect, they just replace a few people.

Thinking of this, I aimed my sight at the mortar that had just been assembled.

At this time, I couldn't help frowning... The difficulty comes from two aspects. One is that the Yue Guizi's mortar has a caliber of 82 mm, and the barrel is only as thick as a calf. In other words... I just want to Hitting a calf at a distance of more than 400 meters.

The other is that I am not sure if this can achieve the purpose of making the mortar useless. It is said that this American equipment is very precise. Another meaning of precision is that the internal parts are compact, and any sand or dust will cause the American equipment to fail. question.So I believe that if this mortar is equipped with American equipment, it will probably fail to fire after I shot it.However, the Vietnamese army is equipped with Soviet-style equipment...

I found out later that the structure of the mortar is actually very simple, and there are basically no internal parts, except for a thimble at the bottom of the barrel.

But at that time, I didn't care so much, and finally decided to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and it doesn't matter if I try it.

So he immediately aimed at the barrel of the mortar, held his breath and pulled the trigger...

"Bang!" There was a gunshot, followed by a "clang" metal impact, and the mortar quickly fell to the side under the impact of the bullet.

This scene couldn't help but stunned the gunners who had just assembled it. Perhaps it was hard for them to imagine who would target the mortar and hit it at a distance of 400 meters... Then they quickly thought what if If someone could hit a mortar with a single shot from this distance, it would be easy to hit them.

So in the next second, they all ran towards the jungle at the same time.

However, the performances of the three were different, one ran wildly, one sprinted on the back of a cat, and the other crawled on the ground towards the jungle.

From this, I quickly judged the difference between them. The one who was running wildly might be a recruit. This shot made him lose his composure and only wanted to run away without caring about exposing most of his body.So he was the easiest to kill, and I barely took time to aim and knock him down with one shot.

Then there is the cat waist sprint... He is the smartest and quickest reaction among the three. They are only a dozen meters away from the jungle, so it is the best choice to use a low sprint, because it will not expose too much area , and didn't leave me much time to aim and shoot.

Isn't it?Just the time I killed a Vietnamese soldier, he was almost in the jungle.

It's a pity that he was a step too slow in the end... just as he was about to hide in a tree trunk, a bullet from me knocked him to the ground just in time.

The remaining Vietnamese soldier...Although he said that his quality was good enough, he fell to the ground and crawled forward at the first time, but he was not smart enough... There was nothing wrong with crawling, the fault was that he gave me too much so long that he was only halfway up the climb after I killed two vietnamese soldiers.

You know, if he walks in a low profile like the No.2 Vietnamese army, then I can only choose one of them... Unfortunately, they did not cooperate tacitly so that I finally shot a bullet to complete the project. Completed the feat of annihilating these artillerymen.

Perhaps it was not until this time that the Vietnamese army commander realized that he was wrong: it was not a few 56 and a half or ordinary People's Liberation Army that aimed at them on the opposite high ground, but a sniper equipped with a sniper rifle.However, he had already paid a heavy price at this time, three mortarmen plus one mortar...

It wasn't long before I was convinced that the mortar was useless, and it was the only mortar the Viet Cong had with it, because no mortars were seen in the ensuing battle, and That mortar that I broke...the Viet Cong didn't even bother to carry it back.

Thinking about it later, it was mostly the bullet I hit the mortar that dented or deformed the mortar barrel a bit.You must know that the penetrating power of sniper rifle bullets is still very large, and the distance between the mortar and the shell must be very close. The barrel is almost just enough to allow the shell to slip in and be ignited by the thimble in a relatively closed space. The primer of the shell (there is an embedded propellant at the end of the mortar shell, commonly known as "prime") fires the shell... So, as long as the barrel is slightly deformed, the shell will not be able to fit in, and it may even be damaged due to sliding. It doesn't slide smoothly to the bottom but can't hit the primer...

In short, the initial underestimation of the Vietnamese army made it very easy for me to deal with an effective weapon against us-mortars.

This scene made Bu Chen, who was watching, shouted "Beautiful fight!", and the female soldiers hiding in the second line also cheered... At first, I wondered how they would know me when they were all behind me. When I was shooting, I turned around and found that they were poking their heads out of my roof to watch the battle!

The Vietnamese army, on the other hand, used machine guns and submachine guns to sweep at our army's positions in a panic... It's just conceivable that their shooting with no targets at all can't pose any threat to us at all.

Perhaps it was to boost morale, or to vent the resentment in their hearts, the Vietnamese army quickly launched a charge.

This time it was a platoon that came up... Like other Vietnamese troops, most of them were holding AK47s, and there were three rocket launchers among them, and a few light machine guns erected in the jungle served as cover for firepower.

Obviously, under the cover of firepower and troops, the Vietnamese army wanted to let those rocket launchers rush into the range and shoot at the houses where we were.

Seeing the posture of the Vietnamese army made me feel a little relieved, because from this, I knew that the commander of the Vietnamese army was not a brilliant commander, otherwise...he would not be so impatient. Misjudgment of the battlefield situation.

First of all, they underestimated the enemy before, and now only one platoon is arranged to charge with a bazooka.

You know... in the case of our army's insufficient firepower, especially when the two of us only have a slow-firing 56 and a half and a sniper rifle (our army has an ak47 in the second line, but the Vietnamese army does not know this ), then they should swarm up...to give full play to their large number of advantages in view of the lack of firepower of our army?If this is the case, maybe they can attack the high ground we are stationed in one charge.

But they didn't do it, what's the use of bazookas?Only half of our room is exposed to the outside, and they are still launching from the bottom up. Because of the angle problem and the wind deflection problem of the rocket, the probability of them hitting us should be said to be very small.

What good is a platoon of troops?He wouldn't think that if seven people can rush to a distance of more than 100 meters, then thirty or so people can attack our army's position!

But when I think about it, the one in my hands dare not neglect or underestimate the enemy, after all, this carelessness will cost us all our lives.

So I turned around and ran back... While making moves to make those female soldiers retract their heads to hide, I got out from the back door and walked around to the pre-arranged sniper position on the top of the mountain.This is the advantage of the position we set up... We can change positions freely, and because most of the places are on the reverse slope, there is no need to worry about the bullets of the Vietnamese army when transferring positions.

Because of the large number of enemies, I did not dare to be negligent. When I reached the sniper position, I raised my gun and knocked down two Vietnamese soldiers. Then, when the Vietnamese machine gunner turned his attention to me, I quickly changed positions and poked my head out. Went for a few shots...

At this time, Xiao Chen also came out, and followed me in a similar way, changing positions from time to time and shooting at the Vietnamese army... Xiao Chen seemed to have entered the fighting state at this time, so he played quite well, and after a while We knocked down four or five, plus those who fell under me... the Vietnamese army had only rushed 200 meters and almost lay down halfway.

At this time, the Vietnamese army's bazooka shooter opened fire, and with a few screams of "Jiujiu", several rockets shot down with tail smoke... But as I expected before, these rockets were either shot by the top of the mountain. The salient of the position was blocked, or it flew over our roofs, and it did not pose a threat to us.

However, the Vietnamese army still rushed upwards, machine guns and submachine guns crazily fired at us, and bullets poured towards the top of the hill, firmly pressing down on our sniper positions.

That's when I knew they were creating another opportunity to throw a grenade at a distance of 50 meters. (To be continued.)
