Chapter 1899 Father and Son Go Into Battle

? A man in his fifties, wearing camouflage, with many blood stains on his body, a black face, and an impatient look. As soon as he stood in front of the crowd, he impatiently asked for an artillery observer, and spoke quickly with It's like firing a machine gun.

Artillery observers are actually artillery scouts, or artillery forward observation posts. They can be called anything, and they all mean the same thing.

If the artillery commander is the brain of the cannon, then the artillery observer is the eyes of the cannon.

For those advanced cannons, mainly those with c4i systems, the role of the artillery is to move your fingers and press the button. Calculating ballistics and observing damage effects are all left to the computer. But for cannons without computers, In other words, in the artillery before the computer age, all the work had to be done by manpower and the human brain.

There is no doubt that an advanced cannon system is very, very expensive. For countries like Russia and Ukraine, practical and cheap cannons are just fine. Especially for the Ukrainian militias, don’t even think about using computers to replace people. Brain work.

Therefore, without the observer, the cannon cannot fire accurately.

Precisely because the status of artillery observers or artillery scouts is so important, if the enemy's artillery cannot be killed, the enemy's artillery observers must be killed. Therefore, in previous battles where artillery was used on a large scale, artillery observers They are all targets that the enemy must focus on clearing out.

The characteristics of artillery observers determine that they must be deployed forward and as close as possible to the enemy. They must be able to observe the enemy's movements at all times. No matter where artillery support is needed, they can accurately guide the artillery shells to the right place as soon as possible. In this way, the situation of artillery observers It will be very dangerous and the mortality rate will be very high.

Now Gao Yang knows that all the artillery observers of the reinforcements have died. No wonder the artillery fire that was very accurate at the beginning is no longer accurate, because without the artillery observers, the artillery more than ten kilometers behind can only fire according to fixed In coordinate shooting, you don't know what's happening in front of you, and you don't know if the enemy's position has changed. It's strange that you can shoot accurately.

When he suddenly realized this, Gao Yang's eyes naturally looked at Rebrov.

For an old artillery team, the role of artillery observers is extremely important, and artillery observers are a technical branch. Although they do the work of scouts, infantry scouts cannot replace artillery observers. Now, Gao Yang can use Hand, but Rebrov is such a treasure.

After taking a look at Rebrov, Gao Yang didn't hesitate much. He immediately turned back and said loudly to the man: "I am the commander here, and I have an artillery observer."

"only one?"

The man came forward immediately,

He said loudly to Gao Yang: "Our artillery, deployed about nine kilometers away from here, has suffered enemy air attacks, but the damage was not high and it has maintained most of its combat effectiveness. Now we only lack artillery observers, so If there’s only one person in the big cannon, it’s still too few.”

Gao Yang immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie and said loudly: "I am the headquarters. If there is an artillery observer in the team, report it immediately. Repeat it again. If there is an artillery observer in the team, report it immediately. If there is not one, look for it as soon as possible. If you find it, immediately report it. Payback, over!”

Although it was a reinforcement artillery piece, it hit the same enemy, and it saved his life. There were artillery observers, and no one was willing to hide it at this time.

After giving the order on the walkie-talkie, Gao Yang immediately shouted to the man: "I'm just looking for you. Tell me, how many cannons do you have? Where are they deployed?"

The man took a step forward and pointed to the map on the table. He was stunned for a moment and said loudly: "You just use this map? We have four 2S3 type 152 self-propelled howitzers and one 2S1 type 122 self-propelled howitzer. The walking mechanism is broken. They are unable to move but there is no problem in firing. There are also six 122mm D30 towed cannons and four BM21 rocket launchers with 40 tubes, but the rockets have not been delivered after firing."

Gao Yang was surprised and happy, and said loudly: "So many cannons, great. I will try my best to help you find observers. In addition, I want to get in touch with your commander. How to contact him."

"Our commander? That's me. If you have anything to discuss with me, little brother, the artillery observer must be found quickly. It must be fast, otherwise our cannon will become a decoration and it will be detrimental to the battle situation."

Gao Yang nodded and said loudly: "I understand. Now please tell me your next plan. Can your infantry enter the city? Our troops are seriously insufficient."

"No, the infantry cannot enter the city. We have very few infantry, too few. There are less than 200 people. The rest are all artillery. If the infantry is moved away, the artillery will lose cover. Unless the enemy is driven back, Or change the front, otherwise we will not be able to enter the city, and the range of the artillery has determined the scope of our activities."

Gao Yang was thinking about what to do next, but at this moment he noticed that Grolev was staring hard at the leader of the reinforcements. After the leader of the reinforcements and Gao Yang paused their conversation, he said in a loud voice: "Do you have some water? Give me a drink." , there’s smoke coming out of my throat.”

When the leader of the reinforcements asked for water, he also noticed Grolev, who had been standing next to him. Then he was also stunned, staring at Grolev's puzzled expression, and looked Grolev up and down.

The four pairs of eyes looked at each other. Grolev seemed to have confirmed the identity of the leader. He pointed at the leader of the reinforcements with a surprised look on his face and said loudly: "Chilaev! It's you, Xin Yun's Yi Wa, haha, it’s me!”

Chilayev clapped his hands and shouted: "Yuri! You are Yuri!"

Grolev said with great excitement: "I looked just like you, and sounded similar to you, but I haven't seen you for a long time, but I don't dare to recognize you. Also, you are a helicopter pilot, why are you here. "

Chilayev said with emotion: "I didn't notice you just now, but I recognized you at a glance. You don't seem to have changed much."

The two hugged each other excitedly, patting each other, and then they separated, holding each other's arms. Chilaev said extremely excitedly: "Why are you here too? What a coincidence, what a great thing." ! Haha, where is Motolov, since you are here, is he here? "

Grolev said excitedly: "No, Motolov is engaged in smuggling now. We haven't seen each other for many years, but we still have contact. Why are you here? You have retired?"

"I have retired a long time ago! This time not only I am here, but my son is also here. I don't know if you remember, but I told you that my eldest son Rasolov commanded the artillery. He is my son. He told me that he decided to come to Ukraine, and I immediately decided to come with him, haha!" (To be continued.)
