The smoke that filled the battlefield gradually dissipated, and fierce battles began around the fortress of Belakaser and the Norman battleship "Divacayo", which was anchored near the fortress. Officers and men from the 1st and 11th Divisions of the Federal Army, under the cover of smoke, managed to approach the Norman battleship, not only annihilating the Norman marines around the battleship, but also waiting for an opportunity to seize two boarding hatches.

On the starboard side of the Norman battleship, three Federation soldiers moved sideways against the outer wall of the Norman battleship like three geckos. If you look closely, you can see that they do not have gecko stunts, but use rivets on armored steel plates, like rock sheep, to exert their limb balance to an extreme.

Flying eaves and walking on the wall is not as easy as imagined, but it is not a net to be satisfied.

Moving more than ten feet laterally, Weiss saw the gun emplacements adjacent to the hatch.

The weapons on flying battleships usually have three configurations: one is mounted on a fully enclosed turret that can rotate in all directions or close to all directions, which is represented by the main gun; One is mounted on a profile turret that can cover the side hemisphere, such as a broadside secondary gun; There is also an open gun emplacement, equipped with a gun shield or a semi-enclosed turret, and the secondary guns and small-caliber rapid-fire guns are mostly of this configuration.

The gun emplacements in front of Weiss belong to this third type.

Two Norman gunners had stepped on the rivet and lost their lives instead of sneaking up on the Federals who had captured the hatches, and the remaining gunners abandoned this overly difficult method and turned to dealing with the Federalists who were still on the ground. In the gun emplacements, officers are directing the soldiers, the soldiers are carrying ammunition, they are manipulating the artillery, and they are attacking the Union soldiers below the battleship with pistols and rifles......

Slowly and carefully freed one hand, Weiss took out the spinach bullet that had been found on the Norman soldier's body, bit the buckle with his teeth, and threw it at the Norman gun emplacement in an extremely awkward position, a movement that almost caused him to fall - it was eight or nine meters above the ground, and if he did, he might not have to worry for his life, nor would he have broken his bones, but he would have to go back to his comrades who were fighting at the hatch of the ship, and to return to this thrilling road, and he would have to go through the hardships again, and even fall under the bullets of the enemy.

The pinefish bullets were thrown into the gun position impartially, and some gunners sensed that the situation was not good, but it was too late. After a bang, Weiss looked again and there was no activity on the gun emplacement. Of the seven or eight gunners, some were directly thrown down by the explosion, some were killed on the spot, and two were only alive.

Weiss continued to move laterally, and finally jumped lightly onto the gun position. He drew his pistol and leaned against the hatch leading to the interior of the battleship, waiting with the patience of a cheetah, while the two Union soldiers who had climbed the wall with him also picked up the Norman guns and pointed them at the hatch.

After a few moments, the Norman soldiers ran out one after another, and Weiss and his two helpers shot them one by one without hesitation, more easily than slaughtering livestock.

Weiss reloaded his pistol bullets and squinted through the hatch. The passage inside the cabin is wide enough for two people to walk side by side, but it is crooked, deep and complex. He tiptoed inside, came to the corner, saw groups of Norman soldiers running in the direction of the bow, heard the chaotic gunfire coming from the front, and the shouts of the Normans, and when he squinted, he saw more than a dozen Normans crowded in the passage ahead, apparently preparing to rush up and retake the boarding hatch from the Union soldiers.

Three or two people, lightly armed and simple, bypassed the outside of the battleship in the way of gecko climbing the wall, and the sneak attack could still be successful, and the strong attack had no chance at all, and most people still needed to pass through the passage inside the battleship. Weiss pulled out the last of the pineapple bombs he had found from the Normans, pulled the buckle, held it for two seconds, and threw it silently, quickly pulling back and back. As soon as the explosion sounded, he drew his two guns, motioned for the two Federation soldiers to follow, and then lowered his head and bent his waist, and quickly moved towards the bow of the ship with broken steps, and walked around two corners in succession, and when he saw the dead and wounded Norman crews, he immediately raised his hand to shoot at those who still had combat effectiveness, and shouted: "Joao, we have come around!" Attack, attack, attack! ”

Captain Hartbauer's voice was heard in front of him: "Dragon! Hold on! Here we go! Federal Army, Attack! ”

Suddenly, a group of Union soldiers with bayonets rushed into the ship's passage.

There was a long way to go, and Weiss had no intention of celebrating the meeting with his companions, but arranged: "Occupy this passage, set up a defensive position on the spot, and collect the weapons and ammunition of these Normans!" There are two people in front, and to the left is the secondary artillery battle position, where there are some weapons and ammunition. ”

"What about your plan? Walk along the passage to the stern? Hartbauer asked.

Before Weiss could reply, footsteps could be heard in the passage, followed by a Union soldier whispering, "The Normans are coming!" ”

Shots rang out, first Norman rifles, then Grumman rifles, and that's not all, the two sides competed to use spinball bullets, and in a relatively closed space, the power of explosives was multiplied, and if you were not careful, you would be blown into slag. The two sides exchanged fire on each side based on the terrain and separated by a relatively straight passage, and if either side wanted to force a breakthrough, it had to be filled with firepower and manpower.

So Weiss said to Hartbauer: "I will take the men outside, enter from the next gun emplacement, go around behind the enemy, and attack the stern of the ship one by one. ”

At this moment, a federal lieutenant and several soldiers came running from the boarding hatch, this person was a company deputy of the 1st Battalion of the 193rd Regiment - the reason why Weiss left an impression on him was because when he followed Colonel Butage to inspect the training of various units, Butich specially introduced that he was behind the gate, and he led the commando team to attack the opponent's ammunition depot in the previous spring meeting, and received a first-class meritorious service award.

"Hey, Lieutenant Ralph, it's great to see you!" Hartbauer said, "There's a need for a powerful assault like you here!" ”

Lieutenant Ralph was a strong man with quick skills, and he shook hands with Hartbauer and Weiss one by one: "I just heard that two staff officers from the division headquarters were charging ahead of us, and this really makes me feel ashamed!" Ooh! A dozen of you actually killed more than 30 Norman soldiers, I can't imagine it! Incredible! ”

Hartbauer responded: "Thanks to our Acting Captain Clumber Haysen!" We were stuck in the hatch before, but it was he who climbed from the outside of the battleship to the Norman gun emplacement with two soldiers, killed the gunners there, and attacked from behind the enemy, and this is the result you see. ”

"We're going to do it next!" Weiss quickly answered, "You attack from the front, and I take a detour from the outside!" ”

Lieutenant Ralph looked at Weiss with wide eyes, he probably didn't expect that this acting captain, who was neither tall enough nor strong enough, not only had a hand in military staff, but also had no ambiguity in killing the enemy when he went into battle.

The explosion hit so violently that Weiss and his men had to bow their heads, and although no one was injured, it was difficult to withstand the repeated attacks of the Normans. Weiss rubbed his aching ears and reloaded the empty pistol magazine with ammunition as he said to Hartbauer and Ralph, "Without further ado, I'll go, and I'll have to find a way to get me two more pineapple bullets." ”

"I've got it!" Ralph pulled out two Federal-style jackball bullets from behind his waist, then two from his military backpack, and gave Weiss four standard semi-automatic pistol magazines.

He is worthy of being a professional assaulter, and the ammunition is so abundant......

Due to the need to "climb the rock and climb the wall", Weiss could not imitate the ammunition in front of him, and if he hung four spinball bullets on the back of his waist, the weight would affect the balance, so as long as he had two bullets, the four magazines were put into the waist side bullet bag and boot barrel respectively.

"Wait...... Keyes! Ralph summoned a soldier and said to Weiss, "My brother is good at climbing, pistol shooting, and hand-to-hand combat, let him come with you!" ”

Weiss looked at it for a moment, and the Union soldier that Lieutenant Ralph had spoken of was not very tall, but he had long arms and big hands, and he had a strong physique, like a strong ape, and his face was calm and his eyes were shining, and he was indeed a rare good helper.

"We had to crawl through the outside of the battleship, and the only thing we could do was rivets on the steel plates." Weiss briefed the soldier, known as "Keys," in succinct language.

The other party nodded and said calmly: "No problem!" ”

Without further ado, Weiss returned to the broadside gun position they had previously captured with his new helpers, and from there, continued to climb towards the stern. The thick rivets and bolts provide a point of focus for them to traverse the outer wall of the almost vertical battleship, and the ground clearance is only about ten meters, and there is no need to worry too much without safety ropes.

As time passed, the battlefield smoke created by the Federation Army gradually dissipated, and under the flickering artillery fire and the light of the flares, the natural cover provided by the night was limited, but under the favor of Lady Luck, Weiss once again came to a position where he could throw pinefish shells into the enemy's gun position without being detected - distance is not a problem, the key is the angle, due to the comprehensive consideration of various factors such as flying airflow, bulletproof and explosion-proof, and artillery firing range, the open gun emplacements of Norman battleships are all contracted, Standing flush with the broadside, where only the barrel can be seen and not the gun mount, throwing a bomb at an adjacent gun emplacement or boarding hatch is tantamount to shooting at a zero angle.

It's not that it's impossible, it's that the odds are too low.

Weiss successfully threw a spinax, but when it landed on the gun position, a shrewd Norman gunner spotted the deadly explosive and quickly flew up and kicked it out. Weiss immediately took out the second spinball bullet, pulled the buckle and waited three seconds before throwing it. The bomb flew towards the gun position and exploded in the air before hitting the ground, and with a slight force and the impact of the explosion, Weiss lost his balance and began to fall backwards. At the critical moment, a powerful palm pushed from behind, allowing Weiss to stick back to the outer wall of the battleship.

Weiss let out a long breath, carefully climbed to the gun position that had been "washed" by the spinach bullets, drew his gun and fired angrily at a Norman soldier who was covered in blood but still trying to resist, and then turned around and gratefully stretched out his hand to the "ape" Keith who had just helped him.
