现在来看看教范中对夹叉与跨射是如何定义的。先来看夹叉的定义:“A BRACKET is a succession of two salvos, one over and one short, or one right and one left, with no straddles. 夹叉 又名 包夹:前后接连两群齐射,一群较远一群较近,或一群偏左一群偏右,但没有发生跨射。“
再来看看教范中对跨射的定义:
“A STRADDLE is obtained from a salvo in range (or deflection) when, excluding wild shots, a portion of the shots of that salvo fall or detonate short and other shots of the salvo beyond the target (right and left, respectively, for deflection). (In naval gunfire support this may be known as a BRACKETING SALVO.) 夹中 又名 跨射:一群齐射弹在排除不规弹后,弹着或炸点在射距上部分超过目标落在较远处;部分不及目标落在较近处(在射向上部分落在目标偏左处;部分落在目标偏右处)。(海军陆轰火力支持管这种情形叫包夹齐射。)”
这段文字很精准,但是太咬文嚼字了,夹中就是多发射弹把目标夹在中间,也就是一次齐射弹把目标前后或左右给包抄住了。其实左右包抄不常见,而前后包抄只要有各一发远近弹就构成跨射,英文术语STRADDLE原本就是跨骑的意思。请看下图:
