Chapter 163 RPG (please collect, recommend, and vote monthly)
Fatami and others still haven't used mortars. The uncertainty is too great. There are no particularly good gunners here. If they fail to hit the first shot and hit their brothers directly on the head, they are here to save people. It's not like I'm here to silence them, but the rockets can do enough.
Murtagh brought five RPG-7s, 15 rounds of rocket launchers, and several RPG-26s, which were enough even for attacking fortresses. He called four more experienced men and asked them to operate the rocket launchers and try not to Inadvertent damage to the target.
These mercenaries are also experienced veterans who know what they need to do. The death of their companions does not make them flinch. After all, the high bounty is there.
With limited time, the four mercenaries, under the cover of machine guns, moved within the direct shooting range of the RPG-7, divided into two groups and fired four consecutive rockets towards the hiding place of Price and others.
The full name of RPG is Rocket Propelled Grenade rocket-propelled grenade launcher. It originated from the German Iron Fist recoilless rifle in World War II. It received great development in the Soviet Union during the Cold War. This is a huge family of anti-tank rocket launchers, the most outstanding representative of which is RPG. -7 type, together with AK47 and 107 rocket launcher, are known as the three major artifacts of guerrilla warfare. They all say that there is nothing that RPG cannot solve. If there is, then let's try it again.
The maximum range is 920 meters and the effective range is 200-500 meters. Depending on the type of rocket, PG-7V and PG-7VL can reach an effective range of 500 meters, while the effective range of the PG-7VR tandem combat bar and thermobaric warhead is only 200 meters, and the OG-7V personnel killing warhead is 350 meters.
Of course, not everyone can hit the target within the effective range. This requires considerable experience. A windage correction can stump most people. Compared with bullets, rockets are much slower in terms of muzzle velocity and flight speed. , the initial velocity is only 120m/s, so it is more sensitive to the interference of wind, especially cross wind.
After the rocket is ejected from the chamber, there is a stage of powered flight propelled by the rocket engine, so the trajectory is more complicated under crosswind conditions. After the rocket is ejected from the chamber, it will deflect downwind under the influence of the crosswind, and at the same time, the tail torque of the rocket will increase. Under the influence, the warhead will point in the windward direction.
When the rocket engine starts working, the rocket will start to accelerate along the new axis, forming a windward deflection; when the rocket fuel is exhausted and the engine stops working, the rocket will again produce a downwind deflection under the influence of wind, so in fact The flight trajectory of the rocket is an "S" shape.
Therefore, when using the RPG-7, when encountering crosswinds under certain circumstances, instead of being able to correct in the windward direction, you have to correct further in the downwind direction, not to mention that most targets are not stationary, but moving. , so in order to ensure the hit rate, we will find ways to get close to the target and launch it within 300 meters.
This makes using RPG-7 a relatively crazy job. You have to brave the hail of bullets on the battlefield, fight so close, and mentally calculate the enemy's movement speed and wind direction vector in a very short period of time. It is really difficult to shoot quickly and quickly with a ruler. According to some veterans' descriptions, in the 1990s, in a training class A infantry division, in the 40-fire assessment, under the eyes of the military district boss, only one-third of the shooters met the standard.
The four mercenaries were divided into two groups, with one shooter and one shooter each. One was responsible for shooting and the other was responsible for loading rockets. They were crawling almost 400 meters away from the crashed plane because there was no shelter further forward and they had already entered the opponent's side. Sniper range.
Fortunately, the target is a large fixed object. From this distance, they can definitely hit the target accurately.
Price and others had already seen the mercenaries armed with large weapons and knew that it was time to fight.
"Thorpe, come out quickly." Price shouted at Thorpe who was shooting from a lying position, and ran towards the outside of the cabin. Before he could finish speaking, two rockets hit the tail of the plane. , making the tail that was originally destroyed by anti-aircraft missiles even more damaged.
The only weapons that can be used at this distance are armor-piercing bullets, which means they need to be suppressed at a distance of more than 300 meters. Otherwise, with a TBG-7V from the thermobaric warhead, all of them will basically be wiped out. .
Of course, even the most common armor-piercing projectiles, the penetration ability of 600mm homogeneous steel cannot be blocked by the aircraft fuselage. No matter how good the MH-53J's fuselage protection is, it cannot reach the level of a tank. Secondly, The two rockets from the round accurately hit the middle of the fuselage. If Thorpe hadn't reacted quickly, the metal jet produced by the explosion would have definitely killed him.
After Thorp killed an RPG secondary shooter, he rolled sideways and almost crawled out of the hatch. It was Gates who pulled him hard to avoid being hurt by the aftermath of the explosion. It hit him, but even so, a piece of flying metal fragments still flew past his calf.
The sharp metal easily cut open his camouflage military pants, leaving a wound more than ten centimeters long on his calf.
“shit”, the instant severe pain made this tough soldier say a series of swear words.
Gates helped Thorp to a big rock and asked him to sit down. He quickly tore open his trouser legs and helped him check the wound on one side. "You're lucky, it's not too deep.", looking at Hu Hu Bao. The **** wound, while Gates put a tourniquet on him, he was still in the mood to joke with him.
“How is he?” Price asked loudly while suppressing the mercenary on the opposite side.
“I’m fine,” Thorpe yelled before Gates could answer.
The snipers here have been temporarily disabled, and the attack on the opposite side has become more fierce and cunning. They only have this chance. A dozen smoke grenades were fired with grenade launchers, and almost two hundred smoke grenades landed near Price. A large amount of smoke instantly rose from the meter's position.
The opponent's purpose was already very obvious. They used smoke bombs to obscure their vision and launched a sudden attack. Unable to see clearly, Price and others could only disperse their manpower and guard all directions.
"Where's the machine gunner? Get in position." Price changed the magazine and searched among the crowd. The two machine gunners knew that their mission time had come, and rushed into the most dangerous position, the cabin, without any hesitation. .
Quickly pushed the GAU-2B machine gun to the position of the hatch. It had not been used before, just to wait for the last moment.
At this time, even George Blake joined the battle with an M4A1. Whether he could survive would depend on these two or three minutes.
There was a roar of cars, and the mercenaries adopted the most direct method. They used their own pickup trucks to quickly approach, and then used their numerical advantage to kill their opponents in the shortest time.
Do you think I should use soap or soap?
