Chapter 603 I have a lot of firepower, hehe
At this time, the training of all the soldiers in the battalion was stopped, and they were all watching the comrades in the firepower company busy.
At this moment, the battalion commander felt as if he was commanding a missile unit instead of light infantry. He waved his hand and said, "Prepare to fire. Target, 2500 meters ahead, white target!"
All the soldiers in the battalion looked far away and saw that the 4*2 meter rectangular target was just a small dot in their eyes. How could they hit it?
There were many 61mm shooters in the camp, but they could only sigh in despair at this distance. Not to mention whether they could shoot accurately, the problem was that they simply couldn't reach the target.
Not to mention that they couldn't reach it, even the battalion artillery company's 75mm recoilless gun couldn't reach it with direct fire. The direct firing distance of the 75mm recoilless gun was only 400 meters, and the maximum range was 6500 meters. However, at this range, if you want to accurately hit the 4*2 target, you have to rely on the sky.
The missile shooter received the order, lay down in front of the guidance device and put his eyes close to it.
The assistant shooter was lying next to him, but he didn't use a telescope to help him observe the target. This was a demonstration. When shooting at a fixed target, there was no need to observe, as long as you got the idea.
The shooter quickly adjusted, aimed, and pressed the firing button.
“Pah~~~Woo~~~~”
With a slight sound, a stream of flame spurted out from both sides of the missile and diagonally shot out to the rear, pushing the missile forward rapidly and raising a trail of thick smoke.
When the missile takes off, the gyroscope wire hanging on the launch box pulls the gyroscope rapidly along with the movement of the missile, starting the gyroscope.
The design of this missile is so simple that there is no such thing as an electrically started gyroscope. It is started by directly pulling the wire relying on the forward force of the missile when it takes off.
The missile flew forward quickly, and in the thick smoke, a little bit of different light was faintly visible. It was the light of the infrared tracer tube. It was not very clear to the human eye, but it was very clear in the infrared goniometer controlled by the shooter. Their bands were specially matched, which was different from the engine fireworks.
In everyone's eyes, the aircraft was circling around the aiming axis a little bit during flight, but the circle was getting smaller and smaller, while also flying forward rapidly.
In the shooter's guidance device's field of view, the center of the crosshairs was firmly pressed at the very center of the target. He had a magnification function and could see much more clearly than the soldiers.
But he felt as if he had nothing to do but watch the missiles fly by, hitting fixed targets, and once the crosshairs were on the target, he didn't have to adjust them.
Even because the missile and the guidance device were separated, the vibration of the missile launch had no effect on him. After aiming, the only thing he did was to press the launch button.
As the missile flew forward, he thought to himself that this was too unchallenging and I couldn't demonstrate any technical skills at all.
After thinking about it, he cursed himself in his heart, "Pah, pah, pah, isn't it good enough to just hit the target easily? What kind of skills do you want to show? What's wrong with you?"
This means that any soldier, after simple training, can use this weapon well. It is even easier than shooting a gun. There is no telescope on the gun to help with aiming, and even when shooting, it will still shake with the person's breathing.
But the soldiers didn't know that this thing was very easy to use. They only saw that as the missile flew, it got closer and closer to the target. Finally, after more than ten seconds, it crashed into the cliff and a cloud of fireworks rose up.
"Hit it!" The battalion commander, the instructor, and several company commanders shouted together. They all had binoculars.
It was very clear through the telescope that the missile hit the target directly to the lower left of the center, deviating from the center by no more than 1 meter.
It's so accurate! Even if not every shot is so close to the center, it is still very accurate.
There were also some special soldiers who shouted along with them - the 61 fire shooters. Although each person could fire a 61 fire, they were still rocket launchers in terms of organization, but their actual equipment was no different from that of other comrades.
Why can the shooters see it clearly? No one else cares, they only know that this thing is good!
Being able to shoot so accurately at a distance of 2500 meters was unthinkable in the past, unless medium or large caliber direct-fire artillery was used. However, the weight of that thing meant that it could not be used to accompany combat well.
With this thing, our frontline fighters will be able to do more things.
In their view, whether this thing can be anti-tank or not is secondary, as there are not so many tanks on this snowy plateau. But its ability to kill with one shot from 800 kilometers away is simply a cannon in their hands.
"it is good!"
"Good fight!"
"Great, great, you are worthy of being from the firepower company!"
The soldiers applauded, which made the missile shooter feel embarrassed and felt as if he had done nothing.
He stood up with the deputy shooter and saluted the battalion commander and others.
The battalion commander patted him on the shoulder and praised him, "Well, you did a good job. You hit the target right after you got the ball so quickly. Well done!"
We are obsessed with being the "first". We were able to hit the target so accurately with the first shot, and in such a short time after receiving the new equipment. Regardless of the reason, Comrade Shooter deserves praise.
The shooter smiled sheepishly and said, "Captain, you don't know, this thing is very easy to use. I guess any soldier who goes up there now can achieve this result after a few tries."
"Ah? This thing is so easy to use?" The battalion commander and the instructor were both surprised. They were busy and naturally did not look like professional shooters, so they had already read the instruction manual.
They thought that this thing was a person staring at the target through a telescope and then pressing a button to control the flight direction of the missile.
They guessed right, it was supposed to be like this, but unfortunately someone was cheating.
The shooter explained the guidance method of the missile, and the battalion commander became excited and wanted to try it out.
The instructor looked at his expression. Having worked together for a long time, he knew what he was thinking. He smiled and said, "Come on, load one for our battalion commander and let him try it out. If he doesn't understand the performance of new weapons, it will be difficult to command and deploy."
After hearing this, the company commanders and instructors' eyes lit up. Well, we have to give orders too, hehe.
The shooter moved another missile storage and launch box and began loading it.
Three minutes later, the battalion commander looked very satisfied as he heard his comrades' laughter of "hit the target".
During these three minutes, reloading took several dozen seconds, and flying took more than ten seconds. The remaining two minutes were the teaching time between the shooter and the battalion commander. It was so exciting! You can shoot accurately in just a few minutes!
It didn't seem very satisfying. Firstly, the operation was too simple and there was no sense of accomplishment. Secondly, the target was a fake and it was not very satisfying.
"This thing is so easy to use, and it can shoot so accurately, it's incredible."
"I want to learn too!"
"I also want!"
"I don't need to grab it. I'm a rocket launcher operator, and that's what I should learn, hehe..."
"How did you know you hit him? It was so far away. Your eyesight isn't that good, is it?"
"Hehe, you don't know, do you? I have a secret weapon, a disposable scope left over from the launch of the Type 61 firearm. It can barely be used as a telescope, hahaha..."
"Is there such a method? I'll make one after I finish training..."
"..."
Amidst everyone's laughter, the battalion commander raised his head and looked towards the border line in the distance.
In that direction, some dark buildings were looming.
The battalion commander was counting the weapons in his hands, including battalion cannons, company cannons, and now even the infantry had a bunch of cannons of different sizes.
The firepower of the 61 gun became even stronger, and from the gun-mounted grenades, 61 fire to the Red Sword 61, he found that the firepower of his infantry had reached the extreme he could imagine.
"Hehe~~~~" He sneered a few times towards the border, turned around, and watched the soldiers training enthusiastically with a smile on his face.
-
In the meeting room of the National Defense Working Committee, a group of people filled the room, waiting for the main characters of the meeting to arrive.
After so many days, all these busy people were finally gathered together, just because Gao Zhendong said without any context, "I have something good."
Even the commission's chief engineer thought more. He understood that radar and radio were of the same origin. Not only did he call in people who worked on radar, he even invited comrades who worked on radio communications in the army.
There's no harm in listening, right?
These comrades were basically familiar with each other. To be frank, there were not many leaders in this field in the country at that time.
Before the meeting started, everyone was greeting each other. It is actually quite difficult to meet each other these days.
By the way, let's discuss why we were called together this time.
"You do not know?"
"How would I know? I was only notified that there were new radar-related findings, so I was called in for a meeting."
"Me too……"
"Me too……"
"It seems that everyone is about the same. Just wait and you will know soon."
"Hey, how's your ground clutter removal technology going?"
"Hahaha, if you talk about this, I'm really excited. The effect is good, but the speed is a bit slow. It can't be used in practice for the time being."
"Are you so happy about the slow speed?"
"Don't you know this? We didn't even have the chance to slow down before. We knew nothing at all..."
"Yes, you have finally found a treasure."
"That's right, so as soon as I heard the Defense Work Committee called for a meeting, I came, hehe..."
"Is there any connection?"
"The Buddha said, it cannot be said, it cannot be said..."
"..."
At this time, a young man walked in. When the comrades present saw him, many of them stood up and greeted him.
"Mr. Gao, you are here too?"
"You are here to attend the meeting as well. It seems like something big is going to happen today."
"Hello, Mr. Gao."
"Mr. Gao, you've come just in time. I have a technical question that I'd like to ask you after the meeting."
"..."
Quite a number of people knew him. To be frank, the radar experts summoned by the Air Force to fight the U-2 and all the comrades working on radar had a high degree of overlap.
There are also people working on anti-artillery radars among them.
Gao Zhendong sat down and responded happily, "So many people are here, that's great."
