Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Xiao Yingwu heard the name "The General Armament Department is directly under the 101st Unit" and couldn't help asking: "The General Armament Department is directly under the 101st Unit? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Yang Hai said with a smile: "It's the newly established unit of Lin Shuai. There are many units directly under the General Armament Department. We are one of them. We are responsible for researching the use of new equipment and exploring tactics. These units are still kept secret, so It's not surprising that Mr. Xiao doesn't know."

Xiao Yingwu smiled and said: "Since it is kept secret from the outside world, I will not inquire about it. Captain Yang, you should introduce your video reconnaissance bomb to us."

Yang Hai pointed to the truck behind him, and said, "Let's go over there and have a look." Then he brought Xiao Yingwu to the side of the truck and entered through the rear hatch of the truck. Xiao Yingwu saw a door in front of him. Something like a cannon, I couldn't help asking: "Are you still equipped with artillery?"

Yang Hai said with a smile: "This artillery is used to launch video reconnaissance bombs. Our video reconnaissance bombs don't have motors, so they need to be driven by external force."

Xiao Yingwu nodded, Yang Hai opened the bomb bay on the side, pointed to the shells inside and said, "The red shells on a white background are video reconnaissance shells, the cameras are on both sides of the shells, and there are accelerometers and speedometers inside the shells." , can automatically determine the position of the video reconnaissance bomb; there is also a communication module in the reconnaissance bomb, which can transmit the image back to the data processing terminal on another vehicle."

Xiao Yingwu nodded and said, "Let's use it as soon as possible."

Yang Hai nodded, called a few soldiers, pushed the launcher off the truck, and came to the launch position. Xiao Yingwu took out the map and marked out the area to be reconnaissance on it. Yang Hai led several people to discuss it. After a while, he opened something like a cover behind the scout bomb, and pressed the button inside.

Xiao Yingwu asked, "What are you doing?"

Yang Hai said: "Set the flight mode for the area to be reconnaissance. This kind of reconnaissance bomb needs to open a parachute to stay in the air over the area to be reconnaissance. We are setting the timing for it to open the parachute."

Xiao Yingwu nodded. At this time, Yang Hai and the others finished setting the flight mode, and handed the shells to the launcher. The launcher adjusted the muzzle while Yang Hai and the others were setting the flight mode. After firing the bomb, open the breech breech, put the video reconnaissance bomb in first, and then put in the launch cartridge. After everything is ready, press the launch button, only a muffled "boom" is heard, and the shell is shot out.

The shell immediately flew towards the area to be reconnaissance. The caliber of the launcher was quite large, reaching 250mm. The barrel of the cannon could be loaded with a large amount of propellant. When it reached the sky above the reconnaissance area, the parachute bounced open, allowing the video reconnaissance bomb to stay in mid-air.

The camera on the reconnaissance bomb was turned on immediately, looked at everything on the ground, and sent the observed images back to the data terminal, so Yang Hai called Xiao Yingwu, pointed to the computer screen and said: "Look, this is the area to be reconnaissance. The image, because the shells are always moving, the image will shake a little, but the image is still very clear, it seems that there is no artillery position that Lin Shuai wanted."

Xiao Yingwu took a closer look. There were only patches of jungle in the picture, and there was no open space, so there could be no artillery firing positions. Xiao Yingwu said: "It seems that there is no such thing in this area, let's shoot another one."

Immediately, Yang Hai issued an order to the launcher, and another video reconnaissance bomb flew into the sky and flew towards the area to be reconnaissance. After a while, another image came back. Yang Hai pointed to the image and said, "There is a situation!"

Xiao Yingwu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Did you find the enemy's artillery position? Where is it?"

While zooming in on the image, Yang Hai said, "It should not be an artillery position, but an artificial building." The image quickly zoomed in, and a fortress-like thing appeared in front of everyone. Xiao Yingwu said, "I think this thing should be Enemy observation post."

Yang Hai nodded. At this moment, the image displayed by the first scout bomb suddenly stopped. Xiao Yingwu asked, "Why didn't the image stop?"

Yang Hai said: "It's impossible for a cannonball to fly in the sky forever, and the image will stop after landing."

Xiao Yingwu asked: "What if the enemy finds out after landing?"

Yang Hai said with a smile: "It would be interesting if the video reconnaissance bomb was discovered by the little devil. Our video reconnaissance bomb has a self-destruct module, which will activate after landing and explode an hour later. Although it can't kill anyone, it can kill one hand, it is more than enough to blow a foot off."

Xiao Yingwu nodded. After a while, the second scout bomb also landed, but the Japanese artillery position was still not found. Xiao Yingwu asked, "What is the range that this scout bomb can observe?"

Yang Hai said: "The flight altitude of this scout bomb is 50 meters, and the field of view is 150 degrees, so the distance it can see is about 500 meters."

Xiao Yingwu frowned, and said, "Only 500 meters? It's too small. The place where the Japanese army may set up artillery positions is more than ten kilometers away. Can you expand the observation area?"

Yang Hai said: "It is also very simple to expand the observation area, as long as the flight altitude is increased, but the image of the flight altitude will not be clear after the increase."

Xiao Yingwu asked: "Can the unclear image distinguish the enemy's artillery positions?"

Yang Hai shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about this, it depends on the camouflage of the enemy's artillery positions."

Xiao Yingwu nodded, and Yang Hai continued: "Don't worry, our reconnaissance bombs are cheap, and the cost of firing a hundred rounds at a time is not as much as your armored division's exercise."

Xiao Yingwu smiled, and Yang Hai asked the launcher to fire a series of scout rounds, but he still couldn't find the Japanese artillery positions. Xiao Yingwu couldn't help but frown, and said: "It seems that there are no Japanese artillery in the jungle." The position is now."

Yang Hai nodded, and said helplessly: "It seems that there are really none. No matter how sophisticated the Japanese army's camouflage technology is, it is impossible to hide the artillery firing positions at a viewing distance of 50 meters!"

Xiao Yingwu let out a long sigh, and said to himself naturally: "Where is the artillery firing position of the Japanese army?"

Yang Hai said: "Let's ask Commander Lin, he might be able to figure out where the artillery positions of the Japanese army are."

Xiao Yingwu then contacted Lin Yuan and said, "Shuai Lin, after our reconnaissance, we found no Japanese artillery positions in the jungle below the mountain."

Lin Yuan said, "Well, it's within my expectation."

Xiao Yingwu asked: "Shuai Lin, from your point of view, you have already thought of the location of the Japanese army's position?"

Lin Yuan said: "I carefully looked at the topographic map of Mount Hamgyong, and found that the artillery positions of the Japanese army are probably behind the mountain you are facing."

Xiao Yingwu asked blankly: "What do you mean?"

Lin Yuan said: "The mountains you are facing do not actually have Japanese artillery positions. The real artillery positions are in the mountains behind these mountains. The shells directly passed the mountains in front and landed on our troops."

Xiao Yingwu said in surprise: "If this is the case, it will be very difficult for us to find them. Is there any way for Lin Shuai to find out the exact location of the Japanese artillery positions?"
