Chapter 104 Wolf Pack Tactics
"It's m18a1, anti-infantry mine with directional anti-damage ability!"
A haze appeared in Wang Yulong's eyes, and he looked at me with some meaning, his face became more and more serious.
The predecessor of m18a1 was m18 during the Korean War
claymore. It is about 8.5 inches long, about 1.4 inches wide, about 3.2 inches high, and weighs about 3.5 pounds; and it contains about 700 steel balls and about 1.5 pounds of C-4 plastic explosives. Basically, the second-generation m18a1 is similar in appearance or structure to the first-generation m18. The only difference is that the US military has added a simple sight to the top of the m18a1 shell.
m18a1 is famous all over the world, but it really goes to the battlefield in Vietnam in 1960. The US military suffered heavy casualties in the ubiquitous jungle guerrilla warfare of Vietnamese soldiers, but it was not able to carry out large-scale encirclement and suppression wars. Therefore, it could only make a big fuss about sneak attacks and anti-sneak attacks.
In order to prevent the enemy's infiltration and sneak attacks, m18a1 began to be used in large quantities on the Vietnamese battlefield due to its excellent performance. Its appearance once made Vietnamese guerrillas dare not easily approach the US military's camps, which greatly relieved the pressure on the US military's mental and casualties, and caused great damage to the Vietnamese army. Its power is really not underestimated.
In terms of appearance, the curved and convex square shell corners are one of the characteristics of m18a1. Another feature is that it has accurate and simple sights. The main detonation method is tripping or cable control.
There are prefabricated fragment groove marks in m18a1, so when exploded, the fragments can fly out in a certain direction. In addition, the 700 steel balls hidden in it can cause great damage to the advance infantry in a very small number.
According to the US military's "Mine Field Manual" (fm23-23), the explosion kill range of m18a1 includes 50 meters ahead and spreads at a fan-shaped range of 60 degrees wide angles; while the height is 2 to 2.4 meters. The longest range of its steel ball can even reach 250 meters, including a moderate kill range of about 100 meters.
This damage is enough to make people terrify when they hear it, and the damage caused is enough to affect the enemy's attack, because you cannot lead a group of wounded soldiers to attack the enemy.
m18a1 also has very terrible stability and can still be used normally after soaking in salt water or fresh water for 2 hours.
At the same time, because it is easy to carry and has a variety of burial methods, there are three detonation methods to choose from: control mode (command detonation), no control mode (victim start mode), and delay mode. Therefore, it can not only be buried on the road surface, but also hung on tree trunks or wooden piles to make thunderbolts, and you can even remotely operate when necessary.
As the nemesis of infantry, a headache-provoking attack weapon, anyone who finds it can't help but frown. You must know that its biggest threat is not how much explosion intensity it can produce in an instant or how many enemies it can kill. What is remarkable is its powerful range of killing. It is a manufacturing machine for infantry wounded people. Its target does not exist to kill the enemy, but to create an offensive burden on the enemy.
Think about it, if we step on this kind of mine and the attack range reaches 250 meters, how many people can be injured in our entire team of ten people? How many people can avoid the attacks of nearly 700 steel balls on you? Then how will our next action be carried out? I'm afraid that one who was not shot by chance will not be enough to carry a wounded person on his body, and it's all a big deal to fight.
Of course we know what this means. The enemies here are definitely experienced experts who engage in destruction. Maybe some of them are retired soldiers of the former Vietnam War U.S. military. These guys who were shattered by the war have a certain perverted tendency. It is completely imagined that their sinister intentions in laying out such landmines here. Perhaps catching two wounded prisoners to torture them is their greatest pleasure.
"Pushing into the jungle, you would rather be slower and beware of the enemy's ambush!"
If we continue to stay on this beach, it is definitely a very unwise thing. We must quickly dive into the dense forest in front, otherwise when the weather gets better or the dawn appears every day, we will become living targets. I sent a reconnaissance order to Wang Yulong in a cold voice, and then waved hard to Peng Zheng behind me.
"We have all set marks in the direction of our progress, and we all follow my steps and move forward!"
Only Wang Yulong is waiting for us here. Chiliang and Blood Hand have sent safety signals in the jungle. It seems that although the enemy is vicious and cunning, we never expected that our army would send special forces to attack them. The difficulty coefficient in front of us at this time could not be at the point of stopping us from moving forward. As long as we enter the jungle, everything would be easy.
The vicious energy seemed to be deep in the jungle. The penetration group had just entered the jungle and was very alert. At first, they were still sneaking carefully in the jungle, afraid that there would be too many accidents like landmines. You should know that the appearance of these landmines did not warn us. If we weren't well-trained and stepped on one, it would be fun.
But after walking for a while, I don’t know if it’s too safe for the enemy. They never thought about doing all-round defense or other factors. Apart from the fact that they set up thunder on the beach, we entered the jungle without finding any abnormalities. We were like a group of hunters who integrated into the night. Apart from shocking some wild animals, there was no bird at all.
Maybe we didn't choose the main road to enter the forest, but chose a route with no trace of people at all. You should know that this Devil Island is really not small, and it is still easy to defend one part, but if you say you want to arm the entire island, you don't know how much manpower and material resources are needed. It is definitely not something that only more than 30 powerful people on this island can do.
Thinking of this, the infiltration team certainly accelerated the infiltration without hesitation. After all, we are all frozen in the wind and rain. If we cannot find the camping location quickly, it will definitely not be too pleasant, let alone the wounded people here?
Carrying an unusual sacred mission, I led all the team members to follow closely behind the infiltration group, because our arrival, the shadows flashed in the jungle as if they were carrying fear and uneasiness. The beasts that were aroused by us might remind the arrival of the enemy invaders, but the night and bad weather minimized the danger of being discovered.
“I found a suitable hidden place, maybe it could be our temporary base!”
It seems that we are lucky. The demons ahead are extremely fast. He is good at sneaking and quickly found a suitable station. Not long after Wang Yulong left me, he appeared in front of me again. After moving forward less than two kilometers, we have found a better station. We can finally avoid the violent storm.
This is a cave. It seems that there may have lived in several large beasts in it before, but now there is a cave as big as a football deep in the bottom of the cave. At this time, a python has been occupied. Our uninvited person may disturb the python's cultivation, but we are not short of food now, so we are not interested in it. But if it wants to provoke us, it will be blamed for its bad luck. We will never show mercy. I hope we can be a pair of neighbors with it that do not disturb each other.
The team members all sat down, but once we looked at the surroundings, we felt a sense of sadness. This isolated island surrounded by the sea was ten kilometers in size. The sound of roaring waves and the unrestrained wind made the tree skills sway. The primitive jungle that had not passed too much damage occasionally flies away. We have no reason not to believe that in this isolated jungle, there is a surprising similarity with our previous internal assessment. Is it said that our internal assessment based on the terrain here as a replica?
This question is considered, but the requirement for certification is also a matter after completing the task. What is even more terrifying is that although it is extremely similar to the content of the internal assessment, we only know the approximate location of the enemy, but we do not know how many enemies there exist, nor do we know what difficulties we will face in the future. This time it is no longer an exercise. We must engage in real guns and live ammunition battles. We must deal with the possible casualties during this period.
"How to arrange the next action?"
After I signaled everyone to rest on the spot, the main task of the team members was to wring out the wet clothes on their bodies. Although we were afraid of being exposed because of the existence of the enemy, we could not ignite the fire, but with this cave to hide from the wind and rain, we could also reduce the cold air on our bodies. After everyone sat down, the password, Peng Zheng and Wang Yulong surrounded him, and Wang Yulong, who had already taken off his upper body naked, showed his strong muscles and twisted his wet clothes to ask me about the next task.
"Let's rest here tonight, and then act during the day tomorrow!"
I frowned and looked at the bad weather. We who had just arrived at Demon Island only had very limited information about this 10-kilometer island and had no idea about the deployment of the enemy's troops. It was impossible to attack them tonight.
"but……"
I paused, looked at Wang Yulong and said, "Your Yongtuo team may have to work hard. Tonight, you must find out the specific location of the enemy's port and find out the situation of the guards. If the reconnaissance will go smoothly tomorrow, I want to launch an attack tomorrow night. The first thing we have to do is to control the enemy's port and blow up the yacht. No. 1 has any chance to escape."
Number One is synonymous with us to arrest prisoners. Every soldier in our team's photo has imprinted him into his mind. Although we don't understand why this middle-aged man who looks gentle and kind and energetic is so greedy. You must know where he is enough to make him have enough food and clothing for the rest of his life, but he voluntarily becomes a slave to money and eventually becomes an enemy of the motherland and becomes the target we must eliminate. But as long as we see the amazing number of 300 million yuan, we know that even if we kill him a hundred times, it is enough. You must know that this is fucking equivalent to the entire Stegosaurus Brigade, so the soldiers' wages for hundreds of years will it be the hard-earned money of the people?
Since there are still some international disputes in the sea area where we are, we cannot alarm other countries on the basis of maintaining external stability of our country. According to the booking plan, our operation will be three days to resolve all enemies. In fact, we still have time. On this large island with a radius of ten kilometers, it takes some time to find the enemy, but it is more convenient for us who have only ten people to hide. As long as we don’t want to take the initiative, it is not easy for the enemy to discover us.
According to the weather forecast information, tomorrow will be cloudy and rainy during the day, and there will be a worse storm than tonight at night. From then on, it should be a good weather with clear sky and cloudlessness. According to the original plan, an attack will be launched the night after tomorrow. However, after looking at the terrain here, I felt that when we defeated the more with less, the worse the weather should be the better for us.
"Are you planning to attack the enemy tomorrow night?"
The password is very smart. From the time I asked Wang Yulong to explore the location of the enemy's port in the wind and rain, he sensitively thought of this problem.
"I have this plan. In such a terrain, winning in chaos may be a better way. After all, we don't have to eliminate all the enemies here. Our main goal is No. 1!"
I nodded thoughtfully, and looked at the password in a negotiated tone and said, "But I think all this depends on the result of our reconnaissance. We must understand all the enemy's troops and the location of No. 1 before taking action. Either don't take action, and once you do it, you will defeat them all with lightning-thinking ability!"
"I suggest you, maybe I think we can use m18a1 in front of the enemy's beach!"
Password stared at the beach of the outer plane with bright eyes, and then said expressionlessly: "I thought that if such landmines were buried around the enemy's camp, it would be of great help to us discover the enemy's movements. Perhaps this explosion could also allow Shazai to attack the enemy more purposefully."
Needless to say, as a sniper, Sha Zai must have stared at the No. 1 target and guarded the main attacker of the fish who hit the highway and clicked to kill the net. He dared not say how many enemies he could find in the dark night, but if these mines were guarding the surroundings of the enemy camp, I think he would be willing to clear them at a fixed point. The password plan can not only cause a lot of lethality, but also put the enemy in the open for us to rag freely.
"Well, the idea of password coincides with me! Before the attack tomorrow night, we should go back to the beach to get some landmines and help us attack!"
I stated in advance that I did not mean to seize the password. In fact, when I walked on this Devil Island, I thought about the situation where the enemy was large and I was few, so I had already thought about it. I nodded and affirmed the password, and then smiled and confidently expressed my final thought:
"Because I want to use the wolf pack tactics and completely eliminate them in half a night!"
"War individual soldiers, occupy favorable terrain, and win indiscriminately?"
The password eyes lit up, and this guy's mind was very useful. He immediately understood. Judging from his expression, he was very proud of my plan, which made me feel a little proud. You know, maybe he and I are not the best friends, but tactically, I and him are the best mutual aid partners. With his approval, I know that there is not much feasibility.
However, Wang Yulong and Peng Zheng heard the same words as us and didn't understand them very well. Their confused eyes had to let me carefully explain the action plan of the wolf pack tactics.
"Tigers are afraid of wolves." The bloodthirsty wolf pack made all the giants in nature shudder. Under their repeated siege, even the king of beasts could not survive.
The reason why Nazi Germany's naval general Dunitz was called "Wolf Head" during World War II was because he pioneered the "wolf pack tactics for naval battles.
", which made the Nazi German Navy rampant in the early days of World War II. "Wolf Pack Tactics" and Guderian's "Breakout" were called the two major "magic weapons" of the Nazi German army's navy and land.
The first target of the Dunitz "Wolf Pack Tactics" hunt was the "Athena" passenger ship. In September 1938, the British "Athena" passenger ship was leisurely sailing on the Atlantic Ocean. The passengers on the ship were immersed in a calm and comfortable journey. Suddenly, they heard a few loud noises and felt a strong shock. In an instant, oil smoke on the passenger ship rolled in. The sea water poured into the cabin. A few minutes later, the "Athena" passenger ship began to sink and finally died at the bottom of the sea. In the following years, the large fleets of the allies' transport ships had the same experience, and the culprit was the German Navy.
"Wolf Pack Tactics".
The essence of the "wolf pack tactic" is to concentrate the joint efforts of weak ships to destroy heavy ships. During the operation, several ships are usually sent to hunt at sea, usually attack at night, and a "wolf head" ship is to command.
The general approach of "pack of wolves" is that when a target is discovered, each ship will pass through the gap or flank of the opponent's frigate, avoid its firepower strike barrier, and approach the target. During the day, each ship occupy favorable attack positions in all directions, hide underwater, and suddenly rise out of the water at night, and fire torpedoes at the target at the same time. "Wolf Pack Tactics" is therefore named.
Because we have a small number of people and a large number of enemies, in order to ensure that our team members should be as little as possible to get hurt in battle, my goal is to try to annihilate the enemy's living forces as much as possible, and separate hidden actions to eliminate one enemy and change another place. Such an attack is definitely the only way to fight in the dark.
