Fred stood on the bridge and calmly said to the soldiers beside him, who were frightened enough by the sudden appearance of German fighters: "Don't worry, no matter how many flies there are, they are just flies." ”

At this time, Fred's battleship was desperately firing anti-aircraft fire into the sky, and the dense fire of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns could be clearly heard on the bridge.

Looking out of the bridge window, the sky was already covered with small black flowers from anti-aircraft shells, and German planes were passing through these barrages – the King George V was heading west, and above them was a group of German bombers from Dutch airfields.

"Flagship," Fred's lieutenant was as calm as Fred, "and the whole fleet turned to the left. ”

"Understood, left full rudder."

The helmsman repeated the command aloud and turned the rudder rapidly, when the sound of the lookout sounded in the microphone of the bridge: "There is an explosion in the rear of the fleet!" ”

"These people are quite hard," Fred smiled at his men, "at least they hit a bomb, and they are much better than the Americans." ”

As soon as the words fell, the deck officer reported to him: "The battle queen is fully equipped and can carry out an air attack." ”

"Let the girls take it easy, our firepower is enough to deal with it."

At this time, the effect of the left full rudder was visible, and Fred could feel the slight tilt of the deck beneath his feet.

Suddenly, an explosion rang in everyone's ears, and Fred's lieutenant immediately ran to the porthole behind the bridge to observe the condition of the battleship.

"I was shot near Chimney No. 1, and there was no fire in sight."

"Let the damage management team find out the damage," said Fred, picking up the microphone for broadcasting to the whole ship, and turning on the switch of the radio system, "gentlemen, we just got shot, but the battleship itself didn't suffer much damage. ”

As soon as Fred finished speaking, he heard the sound of cannon fire outside the porthole mixed with the cheers of the soldiers, and it was clear that the sturdy armor of the British Empire's newest warship had boosted the morale of the soldiers.

Fred stroked his well-trimmed beard, his face full of pride belonging to the Royal Navy.

**

When he heard the captain's announcement, Will was pushing away the corpse that was pressed against him.

He stood up and looked around blankly, the ringing in his ears from the explosion drowning out the cheers and the sound of cannonballs, so he had no idea what the people in the gun emplacements around him were doing with their hands raised. He turned his head to look at the gun emplacement he was in, and saw that the cannon had been completely destroyed, leaving only a bare fly-by-wire gun mount. Several of the surrounding gun emplacements were also in shambles, some of which still looked intact, but the man who operated the guns had staggered to death on the gun emplacement.

Scars from shrapnel can be seen everywhere.

Even Will's groggy head was clearly aware that the anti-aircraft gun deck on the port side of the No. 1 chimney had been reimbursed.

Will was in a daze, the damage management team members wearing breathing masks and carrying oxygen cylinders rushed to the deck of the anti-aircraft gun, the team members who had just come up glanced at Will, and after confirming that he was not physically injured, they ignored him, but ran to the wounded who were still moaning on the gun position, Will just looked at them blankly to rescue the wounded, his tinnitus made all this qiē in the form of a silent movie, but this movie looked a little too realistic, even if there was no sound, it could make people feel like they were there-okay, Will is indeed in this "movie" at this time.

At this time, Will's brain began to slowly recover, and the first complete thought that came to his mind was Nelson's famous quote: "England demands that everyone do their duty." ”

"Dedication to duty." Will said, but the intense tinnitus made it impossible for him to hear himself at all.

He walked through the ranks of the damage management team who were rescuing the wounded to the artillery that appeared to be the most intact of preservation, pushed the body of the gunner who was lying motionless on the gun, and then lifted the magazines that had landed next to the gun emplacement, and stuffed them into the empty barrel one by one.

Seeing this, one of the damage management team members hesitated for a moment before coming up to Will and asking, "What can I do, Sergeant?" ”

"Electricity," Will said, pulling the lever from the gun emplacement, "I want damn electricity, or this thing will have to be turned manually." ”

He still couldn't hear himself, but the look on the look on his team let him know that he had succeeded in making the request clear. So Will climbed into the gunner's position and began to desperately turn the heavy manual turntable to let the gun turn slowly.

Fortunately, the device connected to the shooting observatory on this side was still working normally, and it was able to show Will the shooting element ordered by the war-girl who was in charge of directing the shooting, and Will slowly turned the gun in the direction indicated by the shooting element.

But as soon as he turned the gun horizontally into place, before he could adjust the pitch angle, the firing elements changed.

Will cursed loudly and continued to turn the dial, turning the gun towards its new firing position. At this time, he really envied those guys who operated single-barreled or double-mounted anti-aircraft machine guns, and they only had to fire at the enemy planes rushing towards the battleship according to their own judgment.

At this time, a ship came to the front of Will's gun emplacement with magic armor, and it seemed that the warlord girl in charge of shooting noticed that the anti-aircraft gun deck on the port side of the No. 1 chimney was kneeling, so she sent the warlord over to strengthen the defense on this side.

"Can you still fight?" The Magic Armor shouted at Will with a megaphone while shooting into the sky with an anti-aircraft rapid-fire cannon.

This time Will heard.

"I need electricity!" Will loudly responded to the battle queen on the magic armor, "I can't keep up with the shooting instructions without electricity!" ”

"You hear me, give him electricity!" Warrior turned to the damage control team, and several team members ran over and began to help the team member who was checking the power lines behind Will's gun emplacement.

Will continued to spin the wheel, chanting "England needs everyone to do their duty" and "England ......" as he turned.

Finally, he turned into place.

Shooting Zhuyuan has not changed. So Will began to turn the turntable that controlled the pitch angle at the fastest speed in his life, so that the artillery mount was raised high.

Then the gun carriage jammed.

Only then did Will react, and the elevation angle given by the firing command post had exceeded the limit pitch angle of the gun mount.

He looked up at the sky.

The sunlight stabbed him in the eyes, but he could still see some black spots in the sunlight disappearing from time to time.

Zhan Ji, who was standing in front of Will, ran out of bullets from the weapon in her hand, threw the weapon into the sea casually, and pulled out the energy weapon behind her back.

A beam of light pierced the sky, and Will could clearly see orange-red flashes in the backlight.

That's right, enemy planes are diving down from the backlit direction!

Will heard a terrifying screech in the sky, and Will had heard that the Germans' dive bombers were equipped with special sounding devices, and when they dived, they emitted this kind of mournful screech.

Will could already see the silhouette of the German warrior in the backlight, and at the same time, another whistling sound that was different from the swooping and screaming of the German plane resounded in the sky.

It was too late, and the sea in front of Will bulged upward.

It was as if a mountain had suddenly risen on the sea.

The next moment, Will's entire body floated, but before he could fully experience the feeling of weightlessness, the impact of distance hit his back.

He felt like his spine was going to break, and the heart-rending pain tore at his chest so much that he couldn't feel the impact or pain as he fell to the ground from the vertical armor.

Then a large amount of seawater rained down, spilling Will's body. It took Will a long time to open his eyes, and he found that the magic armor that was originally in front of the gun emplacement, had not withstood the impact and was lying backwards on the ground, but the warlord girl driving the armor was still shooting into the air.

Not far away, two more fleeting hills rose above the sea, and a large amount of water continued to fall on the deck, reminding Will of the storm he had experienced during his training in the Atlantic Ocean last year.

By this time, Will's lower body had completely lost sensation, but his ears had completely recovered, and he heard the damage management crew, who were also staggered by the shock wave, shouting, "We have been attacked by enemy warships!" ”

"Fool, open your eyes and see clearly, where the battleship came from!"

"What the fuck is this exploding next to us!"

"I don't know, but listen, Germany has no more battleships! No! ”

"That Lin Youde is a goddamn wizard! He can conjure a battleship out of thin air! ”

Will listened to the inconsequential, alarmed words and looked up at the sky.

German fighters are still diving.

Although two Aero Magic Armor appeared between them and Will, Will could still feel the fighting spirit exuded by the Germans.

He saw two German warriors with strange twin fuselages dragging the fire dragon to the sea, but the fighters behind had no intention of turning to avoid the British warriors who were in the way.

He saw that the British magic armor ran out of bullets, and then directly used his body to crash a German fighter plane apart.

At the same time, he saw more German planes cross the line of resistance of the war girls.

He even saw huge bombs hanging in the belly of German planes.

At this time, the British magic armor finally changed its magazine and fired at the German fighters from behind.

The German was hit, but he did not change course and rushed straight in the direction of Will. Will looked through the glass of the German cockpit and saw the German pilot in the cockpit with blood on his forehead, his mouth wide open, as if shouting.

Will suddenly found himself pulling out a gun - it stands to reason that a non-commissioned officer on a warship would not carry a gun, but Will always felt that he was not a soldier without a gun.

"England demands that everyone do their duty." He shouted and pulled the trigger on the German fighter.

At this moment, the magic armor that swooped down from the sky crashed into the German fighter plane and rushed into the sea with it.

A second later, a mountain of water rose close to the side of the HMS George V.

The strong shock threw Will out, and he slammed his head into the guard of the anti-aircraft gun emplacement, unconscious.
