d. 1he enemy's exclusive use of barroBe.type fire l.l.I:lder CAn
conditions on this mission is puzzling, It is entirely that
thie reported oorrage.type fire is actually continuously pointed tire
that appears to be barrage or predicted concentrntion type as 0 result
of the anomyls adjustment of fire, Ae an illustration: OUr own AlA
diroctors require 10_20 seconds to 'smooth out' ond og31n produee
accurate firing datn ofter Q spot elevntion or oZll1uth correct_
ion is put in it. Durins this deloy period fire is cenerally erratic
and imlccurate. Assuming that the JI1P director has the saoe li.I!J.ii_
otions as our orin (to the best avsilnhle inforcotion it hoa), it 1s
quite possible thot tne enemy hr.s of this tact ODd is
dolibar.oi61Y withholdinG tor 3ci'vc:cl sc.:,::,I'.d.s =-!ter cc.cl1
of fire. The ClppoorOnco of the burst p.-IHern in tile sky sueh a
method of fire adjustment could very conceivobly r9sa:lble nase
firo in only one such adjustlllBnt wera llCde or predicto:l concentr:1ticna
if two or more such adjustments were mode. The only plausible ezpla_
notion for tho (In6MY adopting such tactics \lould be to conserve
onmunition, or to re1'use to tlxptml &!I:Iunition on tirins data, the
inacouracy ot whioh was reasonably assured.
