Chapter 1299: Lightning Rush
Cage Mountain, outside Thorn Town.
"Ahh
Braving the wind and snow to walk into the storeroom, Goode sneezed hard. He put the heavy bullet box in his hand next to the plane and sat down, "I hate winter...... It always reminds me of the days of exile in the past. ”
"Nobody likes the Evil Moon, but I have to say that this temperature is not even on the edge of winter. Finjin pursed his lips and unwrapped the wooden box he had carried, "You should be glad that we are not far from the sea, and the effect of the evil moon is not so obvious - before Your Majesty becomes the Lord of the West, everyone sleeps and does not know if they will survive until tomorrow." Not to mention exile, even if you hide in the house, you may be crushed by the snow and eventually suffocate in the snowdrift. ”
"Uh...... Is the Winterless Evil Moon so terrifying?"
"That's right, and this situation was not completely resolved until His Majesty brought in the concrete house, otherwise why do you think His Majesty Roland would name the new king "Neverwinter"?" Finjin shrugged, took out the drums wrapped in the box, and placed them in the cabins one by one.
The Skyfire was equipped with a total of two machine guns, one in the nose and one in the middle of the fuselage. Although they are all newly-produced general-purpose machine guns, the way they feed ammunition is very different. The nose of the gun is half-buried in the aircraft and is fed by a chain, so the cartridge box is also made of metal, which needs to be disassembled as a whole when reloading.
The machine gun used by the reseat shooter is fixed on a rotatable gun carriage, and the operation method is exactly the same as that of the Mark 1 of the Musket Battalion, except that the ammunition feed is changed into a saddle drum with a capacity of 100 rounds, which can be manually replaced directly in the air after the shot.
Therefore, in order to ensure that the ammunition is fully loaded every time the mission is carried out, no matter how many shots are fired after landing, the ammunition needs to be re-prepared. Although this step can be left to the ground crew, Goode prefers to do it himself – as long as he can touch the plane more, even for a moment, he doesn't want to miss the opportunity.
At this time, a warm cry sounded outside the warehouse.
There is no doubt that another student must have passed the assessment and landed the plane on the runway unharmed.
Even though it was snowing lightly, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess did not stop training.
Even busier than ever.
In addition to teaching the new trainees how to fly, His Highness will take them to patrol the northwest region of the Wolf's Heart twice a day, and in the evenings there will be theoretical classes and problem discussions, and they will hardly stop for a moment.
Under her influence, everyone seems to be breathing a sigh of relief, and the training effect is even better than in Wudong, at least this week, no training plane has crashed.
After loading the new ammunition box into the nose storage room with his partner, Goode walked to the window and sighed softly.
"Why, homesick?" asked Finkin.
He shook his head, "I'm just a little worried......"
"Worried about the war or worried about my sister from afar?" Finjin smiled evilly, "I remember her name was Rachel, right?"
"I'm worried about being replaced!" Goode glared at the other man angrily.
"Why?"
"There are only four planes capable of fighting at the moment, and one of them is the Unicorn of His Highness Tilly, which means that we must be in the top three of all qualified to be eligible to fly the Skyfire. Goode turned his head and looked at the lively training ground and whispered, "Originally, our advantage was actual combat experience, but now we haven't even seen the shadow of the devil, so as long as one or two geniuses come out of the newcomers, I'm afraid we will have to lean back." ”
Probably didn't expect him to be worried about this, and his partner was stunned for a while before he said helplessly, "Hey, you're thinking too much, even if it's a live target, that's also experience-haven't you heard Your Highness say, these thousands of bullets are put in the musket camp, but you have to practice for a month or two!"
"But neither of us did a good job shooting, did we?"
"This ......," Finkin, momentarily dumbfounded.
Although the Sky Riders hadn't actually met the enemy on patrol so far, the plane's machine guns had already fired several times - Tilly didn't have them bring the ammunition back intact, but would find a target on the way back to dump the bullets, as if it were a live-fire exercise, sometimes a balloon released casually, sometimes a large tree on the top of a mountain.
As a result, Goode discovered that his talent for shooting was far inferior to that of flying. At the same time, he also heard that there were many talented people in the new batch of recruits, and one of them, who seemed to be named Manfred, was recognized by the instructor in just a few days.
So his worries weren't just a fool's guess.
It's a pity that you can still find time to practice repeatedly on the simulation table to master the operation skills, and the shooting is completely fed by bullets.
"Woo————————————————————"
Suddenly, a sharp siren sounded over the airport!
Goode and Finjin looked at each other, and their expressions couldn't help but change.
As soon as the alarm sounds, all training sessions must be stopped, the runway is emptied, and the air riders must assemble at the airport command post as soon as possible.
In more than a week of garrisoning Thorn Town, this is the first time that such an emergency call has appeared.
Without the slightest hesitation, the two of them pulled out their legs and ran towards the command post at the same time.
......
Soon, more than 30 people gathered in the makeshift war room.
"Just a minute ago, I received news from the Iron Axe that a devil squad had appeared two hundred kilometers north of Stormroar. "The message was delivered through animal messengers, and the secret message said that a group of fleeing refugees had been found nearby - this is probably the purpose of the devil." Relying on the defenders of Stormroar Castle alone, it would take more than two days to march alone, and it may be too late to arrive. ”
"And this is the battlefield where the Sky Knight is most suited, except for the Skyfire, no one can fight such a long distance in two or three hours. Even the enemy could not have imagined that one day this sky would no longer be the exclusive domain of the devil! Now listen to my orders, the Sky Knight Squad, and set off immediately!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" said everyone in unison.
Goode couldn't help but clench his fists, he finally waited for a chance to fight!
Back in the warehouse, the ground crew had completed preparations for takeoff.
He climbed into the cab in three steps and two steps, expertly opened the oil and circuit valves, and rotated the start handle – pulled by the electric motor, the nose puffed out puffs of black smoke and completed the first cycle with a thudding thud.
Once the cycle begins, the piston machine continues to run at high speed.
Goode put on the windshield and pressed the lever forward amid the wave and shouts of the crowd.
Half an hour later, four biplanes roared across the runway and flew north to the north in the face of the snowflakes.
