Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 198 Accurate Shooting
"Lieutenant Colonel, I have confirmed why the Indians need a fixed position." Yu Zhendong said to Ali.

"As I said a long time ago, they don't have any double-G mode. I knew it ten years ago."

"Actually, we have already grasped such a situation, but it is never wrong to spend more time to verify the situation, especially these situations are dynamic. Maybe last month was blank, and a satellite will fill it up this month. "Yu Zhendong said with a smile.

"Hehe, you Chinese are still too careful. I know that Indians have only relied on GPS and inertial technology in the past 100 years, and the Russians and NATO's shooting meters." Ali grinned.He is the most optimistic artillery commander Yu Zhendong has ever seen in his life.In this industry where the slightest carelessness will be covered by local firepower, it seems very inadvisable to underestimate the enemy so much.Of course, maybe Ali never seriously thought that the enemy could knock him down. In general, the range of the A[-] can block most of the enemy's firepower, which is also true.

"Well, the next question is the R[-] target measurement drone. Have they used it?" Lao Yu continued to ask, looking calm.

"I remember using it a few times, and it was captured by our radar. This kind of drone needs to be ready for launch, and the time in the air is very short."

"However, this is an additional means, which is enough to correct some problems in ballistic measurement, and is very helpful for quickly solving shooting and ballistic parameters."

"If they want to shoot with the precision method, IMHO, it's impossible. It's impossible with or without the R90." Ali frivolously denied Yu Zhendong's idea, and of course Yu Zhendong knew that what he said was also true.He all knew that rockets would produce variables in 6 degrees of freedom, and it was impossible to cover everything for rapid artillery fire under normal conditions.So he nodded.

"Besides, if they launch such a target observation drone, it will definitely waste a few minutes. But at a distance of 80 to 90 kilometers, just relying on the Russian shooting table, I think they will definitely miss it." Ali shrugged nonchalantly.Yu Zhendong was a little noncommittal. He always felt that the deputy hadn't grasped the essence of this confrontation, which is who can tilt the deadly firepower on the opponent's head faster. If Ali wanted to understand this level, he shouldn't be like this Hastily underestimated the capabilities of the enemy.When he was in China, if a student said something similar to him, he would probably be scolded.

"Tell me about the characteristics of these drones. For example, the time of radar warning."

"If you want to use the anti-battery radar to counter it, give up as soon as possible. They usually launch the R90 with a lower trajectory. And this kind of rocket will follow the set route, and it is impossible for the radar to measure its real launch position. "

"Okay, so let's assume they'll fire a couple of R[-]s to get an accurate gauge of our position, which will offset the time it takes us to get into position. That way we'll still be firing at roughly the same time as them, and then..."

"And get fucked together?" Ali asked.

"Of course not all of them are like this. It also depends on the accuracy of our firepower." Lao Yu said patiently.

"However, the opponent is obviously a veteran, so we'd better not expect them to be able to miss. For example, he can at least use the Russian fire control computer, use more accurate 4D ballistic equations, and can correct some deviations through experience. "

"So what?" Ali asked blankly.

"So, we can't bet with them on who is wrong, but have to play a time difference."

"Time difference?"

"That's right, to put it simply, we must fire before our opponents, aiming at the preset position while they are still maneuvering on the road."

"With all due respect, this is not very realistic. Of course it sounds good, aim first, fire first, and then pat the ass and leave. But their route is unpredictable." Ali continued, and he found himself completely unable to understand the Chinese colonel. the meaning of.

"But their positions are fixed, and there are not many. Look here." Yu Zhendong copied a map from the side.There are no less than ten red marks painted on it with a red pen.

"If you remove the part that doesn't have enough range to threaten us," he said, gesturing with a ruler. "I noticed that all the positions that could threaten us are within [-] kilometers on the east bank of the Indus River. There are four in total. Satellite reconnaissance has found that they have only appeared in these positions in the past ten hours."

"But only if you can predict their movements?" Ali said, finding himself a little enlightened.

"I can't predict it. It must be admitted that the current reconnaissance is not equal. We can only use satellites for reconnaissance, and then transmit the information here through complex relay means. All intelligence will lag behind. For precise timing, It doesn't make much sense, and they can spy on us non-stop with drones."

"If it was yesterday, the observation post on the west bank could see the situation on the east bank of the river, but today, the infantry has given up the entire west bank area." Ali shook his head helplessly and said.He also knew that what he said was nonsense. The artillery commander on the opposite side had always been very careful, and had never made a mistake to expose the Tornado Battalion to the opponent's eyes.

"Yes, these are the facts."

"You want to try your luck?" Ali asked tentatively.He found that he seemed to have fallen from the edge of enlightenment, as if he had fallen into a cloud.

"Of course not." Yu Zhendong blinked mysteriously.

"I see, you want to fire on all four positions?"

"That's right. That's what I thought."

Ali didn't dare to interrupt any more, and could only wait for the Chinese colonel to speak.

"From the satellite photos I have measured, the width of these artillery positions is about [-] kilometers. If we divide all [-] vehicles into [-] groups, the firepower density is obviously very reluctant, which requires very accurate ballistic elements and Distribute the calculations of various elements, so..."

"Please wait, Colonel," Ali interrupted Yu Zhendong. He suddenly found that there seemed to be a big mistake in this Chinese expert he admired.

"How can we link space and time? I mean, we don't know how long their bazookas are on the road, and we don't have drones that can follow them all the time."

"Do you think this is a problem?" Yu Zhendong asked rhetorically.This made Ali a little dizzy.

"Could it be a stopwatch?" He asked unnaturally.Of course, he couldn't believe that Yu Zhendong would rely on speculation to fight back. It might be possible for him, but this person is full of shooting accuracy, and it seems that he wouldn't suddenly retreat so hard in the end.

Yu Zhendong couldn't help laughing.

"Of course it's not time calculation. Their routes are elusive, but all positions are fixed. So the problem can be simplified. How can we guarantee the timing of the attack?"

"Yeah. I just don't understand that."

"That's why I asked you before, if they will use the R[-] target observation drone."

"How about that?"

"Simply put, after they enter the reserve position, they will definitely launch an R[-] unmanned aerial vehicle to conduct a more accurate measurement of us, that is to say, establish a straight line relationship between the position and the target, otherwise the rocket launcher will have no impact on any long-range missile over [-] kilometers away." Attacks would be meaningless."

Ali nodded, this time he found that he still hadn't touched the door.

"If they launch with a low trajectory, our radar will detect them about 50 seconds after the drone is launched. Of course, if they use simple inertial guidance, it will be difficult for our artillery radar to measure their launch position."

"So we're taking this opportunity to fire on every position?"

"That's right, we should still have time to retreat when their survey drones appear over our heads."

"I understand a little bit. But there is another problem. They are standing still for a long time now. If we stop rashly, they can shoot immediately."

"So, we have to get them maneuvering on our schedule."

"So when will we do it?" Ali asked eagerly.

"Before we do it, we have to mobilize the enemy first, but since we can't do it alone, we have to let Quetta's air force frighten them first."

At the same time, the Indian Tornado Artillery Battalion [-] kilometers away has been monitoring distant targets.Drones and weather detection balloons are constantly shooting into the sky, targets and weather data are continuously transmitted to the headquarters, and there are many signs that the enemy is about to stop.If they do not open fire again, the main armored forces of the Army Group will all cross the Indus River.

But the command vehicle suddenly received a transfer order. The [-] huge car bodies immediately began to turn in place in an orderly manner, and exited the position one by one according to the route.This is a well-skilled unit, and there was no trace of panic during the entire mobilization process.

The commander of this artillery battalion was not a lieutenant colonel as usual.It was 7-year-old Colonel Amoria.In fact, the colonel and battalion commander's status in the heart of Commander Abia is even higher than that of the major generals and division commanders of several infantry divisions below the White Tiger Division. The firepower of the Tornado Battalion is also sufficient to support this status, and this unit can play a role at any time , without expanding.

Amoria, who is determined to command, knows exactly what kind of opponent he is facing. It is a second-rate product that takes [-] minutes from deployment to launch.If it wasn't for relying on the advantage of those A[-]s in range, he would have killed him long ago, and it is absolutely impossible to survive until today.He didn't understand why Commander Spanga would always keep his troops in motion and rarely give him missions.Perhaps the frontal enemies were too scattered and there were no targets worth attacking, or perhaps the commander was indeed a little too cautious.As the infantry advanced, a large number of enemy targets were exposed within his range, but the headquarters still asked him to keep an eye on the A[-] Battalion, which neither fought nor fled. Of course, he could gladly accept such a task, but it was an ordinary task. Ground mobilization virtually detracts from combat effectiveness.

"Report, the enemy plane is approaching, and the superior asked us to move carefully."

"What kind of enemy plane?"

"JH-7 taking off from Quetta."
