"Do you want an artillery to fight a warship?" Lena Fox at first thought Zhou Qingfeng was crazy? But after carefully asking the details, she felt that it was more appropriate to consult professional artillery personnel.
‘Aurora Legion’ is now the dominant player in the Caribbean Sea. He does not speak of talents, but fortunately, there are people from all walks of life. In particular, after the Enclave military advisory group that originally assisted the Django forces was captured, the last short board was added.
In fact, Marshall, the head of the advisory group, was an artilleryman. They used to be technical officers specializing in artillery. The head of the army asked him a strange question-how to use an artillery to hit a ‘Arleigh Burke’ class destroyer.
The artillery hits the warship? This kind of thing hasn't happened in years. There are so many wonderful things in this Aurora Legion! The last big-caliber artillery vs. warship battle dates back to World War II, which was an anecdote many years ago.
However, Marshall still uses the attitude of a professional to solve the problem of His Excellency Commander of the Legion. The first question is: How far is the engagement?
Singapore ’s Pedra Branca jammed the channel that enters and exits the Singapore Strait. The channel is only about ten kilometers wide. Pedra Branca happens to be stuck in the middle of 5 kilometers, which means that the "Lasen" will not be more than 2.5 kilometers away from Pedra Branca when it enters the strait.
"No more than 2.5 kilometers? Then you need a cannon with a large enough caliber and direct fire. In this case, what kind of mortar and howitzer is not considered, it can only be a cannon type. The warship caused enough damage, and the caliber should not be less than 100 millimeters. There were not many artillery that met the requirements. Um ..., in fact, tank guns are better. "
Marshall gave the first choice, but this was rejected by Zhou Qingfeng without hesitation. The tank is not a low-value item. He gave another request, "It must be compared with old artillery, the kind with very low value."
"Relatively old cannons?" This can pose a problem for Marshall. Cannons were almost eliminated this year. Military attacks are either airborne or large-caliber self-propelled artillery. But large-caliber self-propelled artillery is obviously not old-fashioned.
However, the Cuban Army is a relatively old army equipped with a large number of old-class weapons. Marshall really found a large caliber cannon for the Zhou Qingfeng in the arsenal to meet his requirements-the Soviet M46 130mm caliber cannon.
This is a classic artillery produced in the 1950s. It has a long range, high accuracy, great power, and a wide range of ammunition. Many countries in the world have equipped and used it. The most important thing is that the artillery of the Cuban arsenal has been stored for decades. No one touched it for more than half a century. It is absolutely old antiques and absolutely low value.
"Attacking a 'Arleigh Burke' class destroyer sailing on the sea is a very dangerous thing. Be careful even if it is unguarded. Angering this war machine with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons is extremely terrible. Things. Its revenge is carried out in seconds.
Because it is attacking at night, the first flare is required. Although the M46 is equipped with an infrared night vision device, it has been broken for decades after being stocked, and the gunner can't see anything at night.
Next, the resistance of the ‘Arleigh Burke’ destroyer will be lifted. As an anti-aircraft destroyer, it has strong anti-aircraft firepower, but its MK45 127mm naval gun attacking the ground is not a joke.
So after the flares hit the sky, the fire control radar used by the naval guns should be destroyed with anti-detonation grenades, that is, these drum kits and dish-like things on the bridge. These electronic devices are quite fragile. Basically, as long as they wipe the dots, they will be destroyed when they are touched.
As long as the radar is turned off, the entire destroyer will become blind, and the people on the ship can basically just watch you beat it. Modern destroyers do not have thick armor, so armor-piercing shells can fire at random, and they must be worn. It's best to destroy its engine room first, then do whatever you want! "
"Can the anti-aircraft firepower on the destroyer intercept artillery shells?" Zhou Qingfeng was afraid that he would finally get an artillery to pass by, and was blocked by others.
Marshall shook his head affirmatively: "Although it is an air defense destroyer," Arleigh Burke "cannot intercept artillery shells flying at high speeds at close range. The radar does not respond so fast. Don't worry about this!
After listening to Marshall's commentary, the entire attack process seems not difficult. But an M46 cannon should be equipped with a nine-man cannon. Now it is not easy to let Zhou Qingfeng do the loading, aiming, shooting, rebounding, and reloading.
"High-intensity exercises are enough, I believe I can still do the job." Zhou Qingfeng is eager to try and requires immediate learning how to shoot. A special artillery squad was formed, and the most experienced artillery in the entire Aurora Legion was transferred to teach the commander of the army.
It is also due to Zhou Qingfeng ’s ability to ‘Naturally Gifted’. The theoretical learning process is very smooth, and repeated drills will be conducted soon. After being familiar with the complete artillery shooting process, he started high-intensity live ammunition shooting.
In order to improve the actual combat capability of Zhou Qingfeng's, Lena Fox even ordered a small steamer to transform the bridge model of a ‘Arleigh Burke’ class destroyer, allowing him to conduct shooting training at different distances and in different environments.
Zhou Qingfeng practiced for about five days. With his super strength and recovery ability, he literally killed seven or eight hundred shells. Sometimes his high-intensity exercises throughout the night, his arms became red and swollen, and he had to rest for half a day during the day to recover.
It is too puzzling for your legislature to be so careless. Even if it is strictly confidential, the head of the army like Katrina still knows the strange behavior of Zhou Qingfeng's. Hunkie couldn't help but feel curious, and ran to the seaside shooting range of Zhou Qingfeng to ask, "Asshole, what secrets do you have to hide from me?"
Zhou Qingfeng was so sweaty that he was tired of gunmanship training, and he waved his hand beside the gunframe to signal the other gun crew members to leave. He said with a lazy smile: "I have known for a long time that I can't hide from you, and I have been thinking when will you come to ask me?"
There are too many strange places on Zhou Qingfeng. At least he has shown his ability of ‘As Quick as Lightning’ in front of his companions many times. The sudden firepower is absolutely abnormal. Looking at him, he seemed willing to say that Katrina was in a correct posture, waiting for him to continue.
"Will wait for me to complete this task, and then I will explain to you, okay? Including you, Butcher, and Minsk. You are all my best friends, I cannot live without you in this world. Help. "Zhou Qingfeng said.
Katrina snorted and said unpleasantly: "That means Lena Fox has known your secret for a long time?"
"Uh ... yes. Miss Fox is smarter. She was the first person to feel that I am very abnormal."
"You mean I am stupid?"
"I didn't say that."
"But you mean that."
"I'm wrong, ..."
After making many unequal treaties for Huiniu, Zhou Qingfeng returned to the real world Pedra Branca with an old antique artillery in good condition and fifty rounds of various shells.
It's almost two o'clock in the morning, the night is like ink, and the sea breeze is slow. The USS Seventh Fleet Aegis destroyer Ocean Princess is approaching fast. An unexpected battle is about to start. (To be continued.)
