Chapter 560 (1/2)

Although the independent Corps is half the size higher than the ordinary corps, it is still half a chip behind the name of a general when compared with a single regiment.

This naturally caused the dissatisfaction of the soldiers brought out by regiment temps over the years, and even spontaneously launched a joint petition activity.

In accordance with the principle of where needs to go, the letter in the joint submission activity was not handed in at all, and he was forced down by himself.

When he arrived at the independent corps, commander dempus knew that it was not that they did not attach importance to themselves. On the contrary, it was putting a burden on him.

Artillery is an unprecedented branch of arms. The coordinated operation of artillery will be the conventional mode of operation after Yongye army leader.

Only by mastering this kind of combat mode flexibly can he become a qualified commander.

What is more convenient than being the head of the independent regiment of this branch?

Therefore, the independent Corps is more like a stepping board. How high it can jump depends on what achievements he has made here.

With this insight, commander temps naturally made every effort to study this new branch of arms. He not only tried to maximize its power, but also thought about how to fight the battle if he cooperated with infantry.

In the course of training, commander dempus will inevitably compare the mortar independent corps with the infantry artillery independent Corps.

I have a deeper understanding of the painstaking efforts of our lords and senior officials.

Compared with the latter, the requirements of mortar independent Corps on soldiers' physical quality are obviously higher than that of infantry artillery independent Corps.

Because infantry cannons are usually carried by vehicles and train a large number of horses, the manpower efficiency is too low. Even the mountain kentana barbarians with outstanding strength can not persist for long.

Mortars are different. Of course, vehicles can be used to pull horses on the flat ground, but when it comes to the mountainous swamps with complex terrain, people need to carry them. Therefore, in this corps, the proportion of mountain kentana barbarians with large population is quite high.

When he was thrown here, he obviously wanted to train him into a second sickle of death with the help of his previous severe military training methods.

”This is our artillery's first battle. It's a rare opportunity to collect all kinds of mortar combat information. How can I miss it? This is the significance of my army. If the mortar goes wrong in the battlefield, I can carry out battlefield repair.” Baker shook his head again and again in a resolute manner.

Baker is one of the two pillars of the firearm Bureau. He is different from director Tobias.

Director Tobias was born in pure technology and specialized in theoretical design. He was responsible for most of the technical things of the firearm Bureau.

Baker was born in the army. Before the independent engineering regiment was transformed into a firearm Bureau, he had been specializing in blasting technology. He had personally operated a knife and performed blasting in front of Regent Sophia. He was a front-line commander.

After the establishment of the firearm Bureau, he became a technician. However, he still focused on ammunition and actual combat testing.

After the infantry guns and mortars were put into large-scale production and side-by-side, Baker applied to lead part of the firearm bureau to form a contingent of military engineers to track and record the actual combat situation, so as to accumulate basic data for further improvement.

As the first batch of products, limited by technology and technology, there are still many problems. These problems are obviously not solved by Gunners with simple maintenance training, but also need professionals like Baker.

”The work can be handed over to other military engineers. Why should Baker do it himself? At that time, the war is likely to be very tense and urgent, and there is no time for maintenance. ” Commander dempus shook his head.

After a few months together, he was very clear about the importance of Baker to the new arms of artillery. If there was any mistake on the battlefield, he could not take the responsibility.

”I'm also an engineer. I'm no different from them. Don't worry. I know that I will protect my life as my first priority.” Baker clearly knew what captain temps was worried about.

”Lord, look...” Commander dempus could not persuade Baker, so he could only turn to his Lord for help.

After all, the other party belongs to the secondment technician, although temporarily under his own control, but it is difficult to make a mandatory order.

”Let him go. After all, he has rich experience in this field and may be able to help. Just send someone to watch him and carry him away from the battlefield when necessary. Remember, your combat range must be kept above 400 meters. You are not the only line of defense. When necessary, you are the first line of defense, not the only defense line They are the seeds of our artillery Sean finally said.

”Yes.” Commander dempus accepted his orders and said, Lord, you have to be tough.

Putting technicians on the front line is a risky move, but it will also speed up the accumulation of experience in this area.Moreover, this battle is different from ordinary combat. To some extent, it is a moving target.

After Shaun manipulated the thunder eagle to repeatedly challenge, he has roughly measured the longest attack range of the Dragon skeleton warship, which is between 350 meters and 400 meters.

The more accurate name of the type 13 mortar equipped by the independent mortar regiment should be type 13 medium-sized mortar, which is between portable and towed, with an effective range of 100 meters to 2500 meters.

Effective does not mean accuracy.

According to the current various auxiliary technical means of Yongye military leader, the maximum range of mortar precision is only 1200 meters. This is still under the cooperation of auxiliary combat technology. It would be good if it had been 600 or 700 meters before.

In the middle of the name, a medium-sized one should also be added, naturally for the purpose of distinguishing.

According to the ammunition launched and its own weight, mortars can be divided into light, medium and heavy.

According to the mobile mode, it can be divided into portable, traction and self-propelled.

At present, the firearms Bureau mainly produces light portable and medium-sized portable products.

Among them, the light portable mortar, also known as the guard level mortar, is mainly equipped to the guard and squadron level as fire support.

The medium-sized portable mortar is the battalion level mortar, which mainly provides fire support for the regiment level and the battalion level.

At the level of the mortar independent corps, traction type heavy mortar should be used as the main combat weapon according to common sense, but it is obviously not suitable for operation in the relatively complex environment of despair swamp, so we should temporarily retreat to the next place.

After five or six years of fermentation, most of the flooding in the desperate swamp has receded, and many mud bogs have dried up and become good land.

But don't expect it to become a flat plain. The rainfall here is still relatively large. Rivers, streams, lakes, ponds and blisters crisscross each other. It is still a water village pattern. Small warships like the stormboat are much better than horses.

What's worse is that the mortar used by the independent mortar regiment is mainly portable, which provides feasibility for intercepting along the river. If it is towed, it will be troublesome.

Because both sides of the Darren River are relatively soft, half sand and half soil. If it is towed, it is quite troublesome to move.

The mortar positions of the independent mortar corps were placed on the South Bank of the Darren River, which is the angle between the Donau River and the Darren river.

The main reason why they chose to put the position here is that after the interception failed, they quickly inclined to insert, and then set up a second position on the East Bank of the Danao river for a second interception.

When the black fog shrouded dragon skeletons came slowly, they laid out their artillery positions and completed the test firing for nearly half an hour.

”The target is expected to arrive in operational area No. 1 in five minutes!”

”Three minutes!”

”One minute!”

”Operational target enters operational area 1.”

”Operation plan No.1 is launched, and one team will fire flares!”

Scouting cavalry of the mortar independent corps, following the Dragon skeletons, deliver target messages to the temporary command post.

Commander dempus ordered.

With a puff, ten mortar shells blasted off at the same time.
