Chapter 417

The sightseer did not disappoint the stone bear, nor the mad bull, nor the brothers of more than 5000 explosive bear brigades.

The speed of mortar shells is not fast, even the speed of sound can not break through, which is much worse than the speed of rifle bullets and artillery shells. Therefore, people with slightly better eyes can almost see the black spot flying in a parabolic trajectory in the sky.

The shell, which held the hope of more than 5000 soldiers of the explosive bear brigade, crossed a nearly perfect parabolic trajectory in the sky, and then with a sharp whistling, it plunged into the stone wall of the French settlement.

A huge explosion, fire and smoke suddenly appeared behind the stone wall, followed by a faint cry.

There is no doubt that although the shell did not directly hit the two guns, it absolutely caused huge losses to the French behind the stone wall.

The sightseer was obviously not satisfied with the shell, so he bent down and began to adjust the high and low machine on the tripod supporting the gun barrel. Then just ten seconds later, another shrill sound resounded again.

The shell almost hit the two guns head-on, and the power of 400 grams of black powder suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

The two guns, weighing several hundred kilograms, were like wooden piles hit by wild oxen. They immediately tumbled down from the wall. The stone wall, two and a half meters high, was also directly blasted by the huge explosion power. It was about three meters wide.

Through this gap, the soldiers of the explosive bear brigade standing in front can almost see the situation in this settlement.

The residential area has become a mess. Dozens of people are running around in a panic. The voice of cry and cry can be heard faintly. The smoke and fire make it look miserable.

Obviously, the second shell and the third shell caused great damage to this small settlement!

If all the members of the third regiment charge at this time, it is estimated that only one charge will be needed to completely erase this small settlement from the surface of the earth. Kuang Niu obviously inherited the idea of the guardian stone bear, that is, as long as conditions permit, he would rather consume precious ammunition than risk his life.

Stone bear often instills the idea to the soldiers and officers of explosive bear brigade that human life is priceless. No matter what, it is not as valuable as human life, even precious mortar shells or war horses! Therefore, on the battlefield, those who can consume and kill the enemy with ammunition should never use the lives of our soldiers to fill in!

With the end of the Crusades of CRI and Powhatan, the idea of the supreme commander of the explosive bear brigade has been deeply engraved in the bones of the soldiers and officers of the explosive bear brigade.

As a result, even people like crazy cattle, after seeing that the mortar bombing was effective, began to command the flag messenger around them and began to give new instructions.

The first three shells have already knocked out the two most threatening guns of the French, so now the third regiment can carry out all kinds of actual combat tests on mortars in this small settlement.

Wasn't the first three shells fired at a distance of one kilometer? Well, let's move back now. Let's move the mortar team back 500 meters and fire three more shells at a distance of 15 meters!

Of course, in this distance, no matter the stone bear or the mad cow, they no longer require the mortar team to be able to directly hit the artillery on the top of the head as precisely as they did just now. Within 1500 meters, the mortar team can only hit the artillery accurately into the French settlement, and it will be a great success.

The mortar class didn't disappoint the public either. After firing a positioning test at a distance of 1500 meters, the last two shells all hit the settlement accurately, lighting two huge torches in the French settlement again!

Then the mortar crew continued to retreat, retreated to a distance of two thousand meters and fired again.

However, because there are already four huge "torches" in the settlement at this time, even if it is far away, the sighting hand can only vaguely see the location of the settlement, but there are these four huge "torches" for direct positioning, so at a distance of 2000 meters, the mortar team directly fired all three shells into the settlement.

With the explosion of these three shells, this small settlement has completely become a huge "Torch". You can see black smoke billowing from a few kilometers away.

Obviously, the mortar team understood what their boss wanted to do, so as soon as the order was given, they immediately continued to retreat 500 meters and came to the position of 2500 meters to continue shooting.

However, it is obvious that the hit rate at this distance is obviously lower. Five shells were fired at this position, only three shells can enter the settlement, and the remaining two shells are missed!

But it's already pretty good. You know, when the original 55mm mortar, which is also called 55mm mortar for short, was tested, the ultimate effective range was about 2600m. Although the firing distance will increase a lot after adjusting the 55 mortar to the maximum range angle, there is almost no doubt about that kind of firing, because the accuracy of the impact point cannot be guaranteed.

On the premise of ensuring shooting accuracy, the maximum effective range of 55 mortar is about 2600 meters.

This mortar class can do three in five at a distance of 2500 meters, which is actually quite good. After all, although the other two shells did not directly hit the target, they were very close to the target, which can be regarded as "near miss" on land

After 14 rounds were fired from four different distances, the mortar squad was summoned back by the flag, and the other two mortars of the third regiment came on the scene.

At present, the explosive bear brigade is only equipped with 20 55 mortars. Each of the five regiments under the explosive bear brigade is equipped with three mortars, while the catapult unit directly under the jurisdiction of Shi Xiong is equipped with five mortars. Although mortar is powerful, at this time, the decisive role in the battlefield is the large-scale catapult.

The two mortar squads of the third regiment are to carry out saturation bombing at a distance of about 600 meters.

In fact, four of the 14 shells fired by the first mortar class did not hit the settlement, but the other nine shells all hit the French settlement. With the killing radius of 55 mortar shells as high as 12 meters, these nine shells have almost blasted this residential area with a diameter of only 50 meters.

But kuangniu is obviously not satisfied with this. The soldiers of the third regiment have surrounded the residential area. The two mortars behind the soldiers fired five rounds of rapid fire, which immediately turned the residential area into a fiery hell.

And as long as the people who escaped from the settlements, without exception, were shot by the soldiers of the third regiment one by one with muskets or strong bows!

It's the decision made by mad cow to kill everything!
