At this time, a captain in the special forces was breathing heavily. This was not a reaction to being bitten by a mosquito, but from the cold.
In such a place where mosquitoes are swarming, without professional anti-mosquito equipment, one can only rely on mud to cover the exposed parts of the body. But the weather is so cold now, and the cool mud covers the face.
You can imagine how uncomfortable it is.
The squadron leader glanced sideways and asked in a low voice: "Can you hold on? If you can't hold on, just retreat first. I can just watch here alone."
The captain was unwilling: "Captain, you can't keep an eye on me alone, not even one person is missing here. Moreover, I can't back down just because of the slightest difficulty. I can hold on. I'll adjust my breathing right away and keep my breath away."
Possible depression.”
The squadron leader looked at the time at this time: "Just wait, I believe they will come soon. Let's put the equipment in place and stay away from here."
Lin Yi looked at the mosquito-infested opposite side and turned to look at Staff Zhao: "You can call the First Company over. Don't rush when you get here. Let's start the battle here. Whether we can kill all the special forces tonight depends on the soldiers of the First Company."
Already."
Staff Officer Zhao was so cold that he had already wanted to call the First Company. Now he received instructions from Lin Yi and without hesitation, he immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and called the First Company.
The first company commander is very excited now. In fact, not only the first company commander, but also the squad platoon leader and other backbones in the company are very excited. They know that this time they are going to capture the special forces. Usually the special forces take the initiative to attack, but they did not expect that this time they would have to
Being a hunter is a job I have never done before. How can I not be excited?
Half an hour later, the First Company arrived at this area. As agreed in advance, the First Company Commander asked the troops to deploy. However, as soon as the order was issued, there was a commotion on the position. A first-class soldier was injured because he went to stroll around the grass.
There were mosquito bites all over my body, and the hygienist rushed over, but there was almost nothing they could do except give her some toilet water.
The news was fed back to the company commander, and the deputy company commander said: "If it doesn't work, just smoke the mosquitoes. This place is not suitable for deploying the artillery positions. If we insist on deploying, the mosquito issue must be solved."
This is not because the deputy company commander is being pretentious, nor is it because artillery shells cannot be fired in places with many mosquitoes. It is just because the artillery shells in a company are loaded manually. Even for self-propelled artillery, most of them are loaded manually.
This has nothing to do with lagging behind. In fact, manually loaded shells can more accurately control the amount of ammunition, and the most important step for an artillery is loading ammunition. It is not impossible to use mechanical assistance, but the failure rate will be high, especially for large-caliber shells.
If the vibration is too great, it can easily cause some mechanical failures.
This is not unreasonable. Looking at the artillery experience of many countries on the battlefield, we can conclude that manual loading must have a lower failure rate than artillery equipped with automatic loaders.
Of course, thanks to the fact that the current maximum caliber of artillery is only 155, manual loading is feasible. In the past few decades, the super-heavy artillery of 183 caliber and 240 caliber would have been too heavy to use manual loading.
slow.
But what I have to say is that there was no automatic loader at that time, and even large-caliber artillery could only be loaded manually.
In modern warfare, in addition to artillery, the larger caliber is rocket launcher, with 300-caliber being the mainstream. This loading method is also manual. Of course, there will be crane coordination, but it is still manually loaded.
Since it is manual loading, the requirements for the combat quality of the combat environment are very high. For example, here, in places where there are many mosquitoes, when you are transporting large-caliber ammunition, once you are disturbed by mosquitoes, you will easily be in danger.
Mosquito bites are one thing, but the most important aspect is that the itchy feeling after being bitten by a mosquito can be very frustrating.
Even if your usual characterization is very good, it is difficult to avoid making small mistakes. But when faced with these large-caliber ammunition, small mistakes will be huge after feedback. Maybe you can ensure that your class does not make mistakes, but you can
Are all classes guaranteed to be error-free?
Even if there is no mistake in this round, what about the next round? As long as the hidden dangers increase, then this place is not suitable. Unless there is no better choice of position, it will usually be moved.
The company commander also knew that even if he cooperated in the battle, he had to abide by the reality. Moreover, if he blindly asked the soldiers to deviate from reality and endured the bites of mosquitoes in this area, it would be easy for the special forces to see it.
They are not fools. They know the terrain well. They know that there should be more choices for artillery positions. After all, the current range of howitzers is dozens of kilometers away, and the support distance is long enough to allow them to choose more positions.
.
Of course, the location here is good, after all, the transportation is convenient, and you can run away after fighting. But since you have chosen this location, you must make changes here, otherwise it will affect the combat efficiency.
The first company commander nodded: "It's okay to smoke, but be sure to cover it with a tent. No open flames are allowed. In a place like this, once an open flame appears, it is the same as being in an exposed position."
The deputy company commander patted his chest: "Company commander, don't worry, I know I won't make a mistake on this little thing."
But when smoke was released here, it would be difficult for Lin Yi. When Staff Zhao saw the smoke rising, he was about to pick up the walkie-talkie, but was stopped by Lin Yi: "Stop talking, we can't interfere in this matter."
The smoke is just rising now, and Staff Zhao cannot observe the target point normally. If he waits for the smoke to rise, why should he stay still? Maybe the special forces on the opposite side have completed their mission, and he has not discovered their presence yet.
: "Deputy Battalion Commander Lin, do you think there is something wrong with the first company commander's head? Doesn't this make it more difficult for us and lessen the difficulty for the opponent?
If we can't find the special forces because of this smoke, then what's the point of having them here?
Of course, I know it’s uncomfortable because there are so many mosquitoes there, but I can overcome it by gritting my teeth.”
When Lin Yi heard this, he looked at Staff Zhao in surprise: "How about you go there and feel it, and then listen to what you said? The special forces are not fools. They can tell whether we did it deliberately or not at a glance.
Discovered. Let me put it this way, only by lighting this pile of cigarettes would they be able to come out. If they didn’t light this pile of cigarettes, 80% of them would not show up."
Staff Officer Zhao was also anxious just now, so he said these inappropriate words: "Deputy Battalion Commander Lin, I am also anxious, but the current visual environment has a great impact on us."
Lin Yi was not in a hurry: "There are only a few people on the opposite side, but we have a company with more than a hundred pairs of eyes. I believe that the people in the company are not just for food. Let's wait patiently."
