I read about this 5 or 6 years back on a forum, and have never been able to find more info. There is lots of knowl edge here so I wonder if anyone else has heard the story...
There was a family, not military members that travelled parallel to the front during the late war. They had free movent and typically in one location only for a few volleys.
The way they operated I can only describe as precision indirect volley fire.
The father would calculate angles of fire, time of flight, etc and use direct observation and set up a volley where his kids and wife would fire at the same time from a protected position.
They in particular would fire at barges and riverboats across wide riverbeds. They also could do this at night.
The enemy though this was mahine gun fire but was puzzled by the degree of precision.
So is this just a tall tale?
