On the train gun position, people who listened to the roar of the cannon up close felt it the most. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoFortunately, Jack distributed anti-noise earplugs to all the artillerymen and technicians in advance, and he was finally not deafened by the sound of the cannon that day was like the earth cracking. Novices will inevitably have inconsiderate places, and there are large errors in the landing points of the two guns test-fired, which is not a big problem.

Kafta and his assistants focused on strengthening the structure of the train guns themselves, and the results lived up to their hard work, both train guns remained intact after firing, but the recoil was so strong that more than a dozen pisos were torn off to hold the gun positions, and the iron stakes that were driven deep into the ground were pulled out, and one loader was unfortunately injured.

Lieutenant Colonel Yuri Popov was an impatient man, impatiently waiting for the highland lothmon, which had cowered at the sound of the cannon, to regain the courage to pull the train cannon, and shouted and gathered more than 200 Kitland stick boys, and everyone worked together to push the train cannon slowly forward along the railroad tracks, back to its original position. The sappers re-piled the gun position, and Kafta also learned that it was not enough to reinforce the structure of the cannon itself, and led the trap warlock to reinforce the iron stakes to ensure that they would not be pulled out by the recoil generated when the cannon was fired.

Due to a number of unexpected mistakes, the train gun fell into a long silence after the test firing. Fortunately, the fortifications and batteries on the opposite Longjiao Heights could not escape, and it was not too late to continue the bombardment after adjustment.

Rudolph, who was watching the battle on the hill, was quite satisfied with the first performance of the train gun, and turned his head to Roland and said: "The overall performance is not bad, but the recoil is too great." ”

Roland recalls the "recoilless cannons" on Earth, with only vague impressions of "springs" and "hydraulics", but he has confidence in his team of trapwarlocks, and these vague impressions are enough to prompt them to develop an efficient shock absorption system.

"Not only train guns, but also other types of cannons need to install a device to reduce recoil, and it is best to make the cannon automatically reset after firing, which can greatly reduce the workload of calculating the shooting elements, which is equivalent to improving the hit rate of the shelling, and then I will talk to someone from the ordnance institute about this problem."

Rudolph nodded in agreement with his son's opinion, picked up the telescope again to observe the billowing smoke column opposite, and said to himself: "The error of the test launch is not small, you need to adjust the elevation angle." ”

"I just shot a straddle, do you want to change the small elevation angle?" Roland asked.

"On the contrary, we need to make it bigger." Rudolph had far more experience in commanding operations than his son, and patiently explained to him, "Land warfare is different from naval warfare, and mountain artillery is also different from naval artillery. ”

"Understood." Roland humbly accepted his father's advice.

On the opposite side of the Dragon Point Heights, most of the defenders were terrified, like prisoners waiting for their sentence to be announced. Knowing that the next thing that awaits him will be the death penalty, but he is lucky, hoping that the two giant cannons on the opposite side will stop the attack. Especially after the first round of test firing, the train cannon fell into a long period of mute fire, which seemed to indicate a turn for the worse.

"What the hell is going on on the other side?" Zoya held her hands on the ground and straightened up, looking suspiciously in the direction where the train cannon was, "Could it be that those two giant cannons are useless, and they will break down after one shot?" ”

Andrea didn't make a sound, reached over and grabbed the back of her neck, and pressed it down without saying anything.

Burst! Miss Medusa threw herself on the ground, gnawed on her mouth full of mud, and was about to complain, when suddenly two roars were heard from the opposite side, and the long-silent train cannon let out a terrifying roar again.

The garrison on the high ground lay down on the spot this time without Andrea's warning, and prayed to Tiamat with his hands over his ears that the terrible cannonball would pass over the top of the hill and away from him, as he had just done.

However, the revised direction of the shelling did not depend on their will, and the two shells drew a graceful parabola in the air, smashing into the dragon horn heights like eyes, and the roar of explosions that rang out one after another completely shattered their luck mentality.

One of the shells hit the battery, and the kinetic energy carried by the thousand-pound warhead was immeasurable, directly smashing the battery covered with thick armor plates, and the four soldiers hiding in the battery were killed on the spot, after which the thousand-pound shell exploded violently, leveling the remains of the battery and the granite base below, and the ground was also shoveled off a thick layer, and the air was ignited by the strong light that erupted in an instant, and the huge fireball rolled on the high ground, and the terrifying shock wave swept around, crushing all the nearby buildings within a hundred yards into powder, The soldiers hiding in the air-raid crypts were also blasted into the air by the shockwave, and then they were shattered by the whistling shrapnel.

Another shell that came at the same time did not hit the battery directly, but plunged headlong into the open space in the middle of the high ground, and the pointed shell dug deep into the soft soil under the action of its huge dead weight, and after two seconds the fuse was triggered and exploded.

The dull and suppressed sound of the explosion seemed to come from the center of the earth, and the shock wave carried through the ground faster than in the air, and caused more damage to the position itself than the more powerful cannonball in front of it, and the rock formations near the explosion point were all shattered, like viscous mud rushing and flowing, and a large amount of mud and sand turned into fountains and soared into the sky. The soldiers who were crawling in the area affected by the explosion all flew up with their hands in their hands, and the screams were torn apart by the shock wave, and the batteries and forts that were a little farther away were also destroyed by the earthquake triggered by the explosion, like broken eggs collapsing one after another, and one of the batteries was uprooted, rumbling down the hillside, until it rushed to the front of the opposing coalition position.

A ranger chasper galloped over to reconnoiter and found that the turrets, made of rock and reinforced with asphalt (natural asphalt was customary in the highlands instead of cement as a binder for building materials), had collapsed, the barrels had broken in two, and blood was seeping through the rubble. The gunners and assistants stationed at the fort were all killed, and the corpses were so fleshy and flesh that they could not be identified at all.

The chasseur wiped a cold sweat and galloped back to report the enemy to Rudolph. In fact, there was no need for him to report, the generals of the coalition army had already seen the damage caused by the train cannon in their eyes and were deeply shocked.

The brief lull lasted only two minutes, and the two "Roland's hammers" were reloaded and fired again, and the sound of the cannons echoed through the mountains of Lucia in a rhythm like a drum, and the forts and batteries on the opposite Dragon's Point Heights collapsed one by one in the sound of drums that shook the battlefield, and sank into a sea of fire.
