The sound of the motor rotating is even and long. As the motor rotates and drives the gear, a huge seat ring is rotating at a constant speed.
On this huge seat ring, inside the thick armored steel plate, the artillerymen who had already been prepared were watching the semi-automatic loader transport the shells to the front of the gun's breech block.
Although the lead ship of the Dreadnought-class battleship, the Dreadnought, is still in the waters of Elanthir, the remaining Dreadnought-class battleships have already been ordered to go south to reinforce the Palak Empire.
As time went by, a fleet of three dreadnoughts and seven cruisers had moved south to the coastline of the Barmesil Empire.
This may be the most powerful fleet in the world. Their chimneys are emitting thick black smoke, and the fleet battle line formed in a row stretches across the sea, majestic and resolute.
The residents of Paston, the largest port in the Balmesil Empire, were watching a giant sailing warship leaving the port being shattered into pieces by a salvo fired by a slender Elansil destroyer.
The combat operation against the Balmesil Imperial Navy was completely over without even having time for afternoon tea.
The sailing fleet that went out to sea to fight against the Airansil Empire Navy was completely wiped out within an hour, and not even a single ship escaped.
It only took a few hours for the Airan Hill fleet to gain control of the sea. It wasted no time and directly sailed its warships to the waters near Paston.
Then, the defenders on the Paston Harbor Fort, which was full of air force, saw black smoke covering the sky and stretching across the sea level in the distance.
"Is something burning at sea? There was such a big fire?" An officer put down the telescope in his hand, turned sideways, and asked the deputy standing next to him. Those fuzzy black smoke on the sea level,
It made him feel very uneasy.
Paston Port has undergone great changes over the past year. A huge fort has been built here, and it is equipped with densely packed artillery.
The largest-caliber artillery was developed by them themselves, with a caliber of 300 mm. It is huge and looks spectacular. In order to allow this giant artillery to rotate, a unique artillery mount was also made.
The designers of this world relied on their own imagination and some of the technology flowing out of Eiland Hill to design an artillery reset device. It looked similar to the artillery base during the Sino-Japanese War of 1884-1891.
Just by looking at this gun mount, you can imagine what this heavy 300 mm caliber cannon is. Its maximum range is about 8 kilometers, which is basically the same as the imitation Irish export models on other gun positions.
There are about as few 130mm caliber guns.
The other soldiers at the crenels were also curiously looking at the black smoke that was getting closer and closer at this moment, and they were worried about what kind of new weapons Eiland Hill had deployed this time.
The naval warships of Ailansil had visited the Balmesil Empire before, but at that time, in order to "save trouble", they sent three auxiliary cruisers. The idea at the time was that it would be a one-time visit anyway, and they would bring some goods back with them.
However, all the coastal defense soldiers of the Balmesil Empire know in their hearts that the rumored to be very powerful Airansil Navy is definitely not just a few warships that do not look powerful.
"Sir! I don't know... There was black smoke in the chimney of the Airan Hill battleship that I visited last time. Maybe it's because... there are too many battleships on the other side, so there is more black smoke, right?" was asked by his own commander.
, the deputy replied with some fear.
Even the black smoke covers the sky. How many warships are there... When a fight breaks out, the opponent has so many warships. Can the fort hold on?
The commander of the Balmeshir Empire, who was also worried about the opponent's too many warships, pressed the long sword on his waist, looked at the cannons set up at the crenels in front of him, kept cheering himself up, and barely squeezed out a sentence
Said: "We have hundreds of cannons here, I guess..."
"Whoosh!" Just as he was speaking, a cannonball whizzed past his head, and the huge sound of breaking wind made everyone shrink their necks involuntarily. Then, the cannonball that passed over the entire fort position suddenly hit
It reached the mountain behind the fort and exploded on the second-story fortification halfway up the mountain.
Because it did not hit the main position, the shell did not cause much damage. A bunker built on the mountain and a piece of the position were blown away, and many concrete fragments even fell on the main position.
"Who fired the cannon? Where did the cannon fire?" The officers of the Bamehir Empire turned around in panic, looking around, as if they wanted to find the enemy who was shelling their position.
His deputy looked at the approaching black smoke in the distance and swallowed subconsciously. He didn't dare to ask what he was thinking. Could it be that the distant enemies opened fire?
In a turret on the flagship of the Dreadnought Ship Conquest, in the fleet of Eiland Hill, the gunner put down the phone, looked at his men helplessly, and said: "Gentlemen! The shot just now was too high.
A little bit! Adjust the rest parameters! Lower it by 0.2 degrees and try firing No. 2 gun again!"
Following his shout, the gunner who was adjusting the elevation of the gun turned the handle in front of him twice, and the barrel on the turret moved slightly downward. After correcting the firing parameters, the gunner pressed the firing button.
, the No. 2 artillery sat back for a moment, and then began to slowly reset forward.
The deafening explosions were inaudible to the artillerymen. They all wore earphones to prevent ear damage, and there was an armored steel plate blocking the noisiest muzzle, so the sound they heard was not too loud.
But they could still hear the faint sound of artillery, and they could still intuitively feel the terrifying power of the largest war machine built in human history that they were controlling.
A huge artillery shell roared out from the No. 2 barrel of the turret, and the raised muzzle spurted out thick black smoke. With the huge sound, the barrel quickly moved back.
, and then fully restored to its original position.
The shell crossed a distance of at least 13 kilometers, hit the thick fort wall, and then exploded violently. The explosion blew away all nearby equipment and personnel, and directly blew up several 130 mm caliber coastal defense guns.
It has become a part state.
Before the coastal defense garrisons of the Barmeshir Empire could react, the remaining turrets of the battleship Conquest, which had received the hit information, began to roar.
The eight 305mm caliber artillery pieces are not just decorations. They are modern artillery pieces with extremely high precision manufactured by Eiland Hill. The shells fired have consistent ballistic properties and the targets are immobile and huge turrets, so they hit the target.
The accuracy is quite high.
Just six follow-up shells fired by a battleship from the battleship Conquest caused the entire Port Paston fort to be shrouded in flames. The hundreds of cannons on the fort were all submerged before they could even fire back a single shot.
In the explosion.
The artillery shells stored in the fort were detonated by unknown shells, and the sound of explosions was continuous. The fort defenders ran like wild animals and scattered like birds and beasts.
After being frightened to death by the explosion, how could they still think about fighting these giant ships of Elanshir? With the second salvo of the battleship Conqueror, this modern fort that had been built at a huge cost was completely destroyed.
has become history.
At the same time, under the horrified eyes of the citizens of Paston, and amid the rumbling explosions from the fort in the distance, the Irish Dreadnought Hero, the Hero, followed the Victory Dreadnought, leading a group of cruisers.
, lying across the periphery of the port.
The thick cannons and the black muzzles pointed at the urban area of Paston, which had prospered due to trade and industry.
Putting down the telescope in his hand, Admiral Kasagami, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Airanhill Navy who stood on the bridge and commanded the fleet, had a cruel smile on his face. He glanced at the adjutant beside him and ordered softly: "
Fire!"
His adjutant turned to look at the captain of the battleship Hero and loudly repeated the commander's order: "Fire!"
"Fire!" The captain gave the order to fire with his hands behind his back and his chin raised. On the battleship that had been prepared for a long time, the eight cannons roared together.
Because the distance was already very close, there was no need to even aim. The huge sound of the artillery salvo was unforgettable for everyone. The citizens cried and trembled and collapsed under these cannons. The buildings in the city collapsed and burned in the explosion of the artillery shells.
.
Although compared to the air force and army, Eiland Hill's navy was seriously lagging behind both in terms of quantity and quality.
But this does not hinder its strength. After all, compared to the army and air force, the enemy faced by Ailanshir's naval force is weaker. Therefore, when the naval warships that are still burning coal appear in the waters of the Balmesil Empire,
At that time, there was only one word to describe the devastating fighting situation of this squadron.
In a sea of fire, Eilandhir's marines plundered the entire city, and then flew away with desperate cries. With the terrifying speed of the entire fleet, they went all the way south, preparing to attack another
Port city Briburn.
Amid the rumbling cannons of the three dreadnoughts, the counterattack on the southern front of the Allied countries also officially began. The main force of the 5th Army commanded by General Coria invaded the Jesno Empire. Because the enemy was too weak, the 5th Army was defeated that day.
Crossed the broad Plauts River.
Two days later, Kasagami's fleet arrived at Briburn. The defenders there received the news in advance and did not resist at all. They just moved away the valuables and then left the city port dock for Elansi.
Your fleet going south vents its anger...——
Just one update today, and another update tomorrow...
