Volume 1 5 points Volume 15 - Shelling Preparation

"Okay! Blow the whistle and give them some morale blows!" said the captain, and the corners of his mouth could not help but raise the corners of his mouth - he was very confident in this battle.

"Understood!"

After the captain finished speaking, a soldier on the side immediately walked quickly to a half-human-high wrench, holding the wrench tightly with both hands.

Then, under the soldier's vigorous pulling, a deep whistle sounded almost simultaneously from the outside of the vehicle and along the structure of the vehicle to the bridge.

......

On this "super-large land battleship" there were four large turrets - two in the front and two in the rear, each with three guns.

At the same time, on each side of this "super-large land battleship" there were three small turrets, on each of which were two light guns.

Now, inside most of the turrets of this "super-large land battleship", the soldiers are busy.

Let's see the "bustle" in one of the turrets ahead.

The structure located inside the turret is the rear half of the huge gun, as well as the steering machine and the high and low machine.

Huge mechanical parts, in the midst of a sound of operation, are moving.

Under the adjustment of a large group of soldiers, the direction machine of this gun, together with the turret shell and armor, slowly rotated together.

Now, the position of the artillery is not the direction of the current enemy "medium land battleship" - this is the desired position when waiting for the next fire, and the heavy turret rotates slowly, and it is generally necessary to turn to the position in advance.

"Prepare ......" one soldier shouted to the soldiers who were operating the steering machine, looking at the device that indicated the angle of rotation of the turret, "stop!"

At the sound of an order, the turret rotated.

After the fine-tuning, it is time to adjust the pitch angle of the gun.

According to the custom of the "Steam-Mechanical Power Alliance", the triple guns installed on this turret will be slightly staggered at a certain angle in the middle, and the three guns will be slightly zigzag for shelling.

The triple guns on this turret do not set the same elevation angle, which naturally makes sense - first, staggering a certain elevation angle can improve the tolerance rate for deviations caused by the estimation of the elevation angle (of course, the firing dispersion of the gun itself can also provide a part of the error tolerance); second, if the triple guns fire at the same time, the adjacent shells that quickly fly out of the breech may have a certain impact on each other's trajectory due to the Bernoulli principle of fluid mechanics (the ship and the ship will draw together when they sail close to each other).

Now, the soldiers here, ready to shoot, retreated to the side of the artillery, a relatively safe area.

They just waited for the order to open fire, and then they fired these three huge cannons!

......

The firing order was not given from the bridge - the captain on the bridge was only responsible for giving the attack order, and the firing order was initiated from the artillery survey tower.

The two turrets in front of this "super-large land battleship", using a survey tower, are located on the turrets above the rear side.

The measuring towers of the two turrets in the rear are located on the turrets above the front side.

In addition, on each side of the vehicle, a measuring tower is installed - this measuring tower is responsible for directing the light artillery on the side to fire.

The command to be launched, and at the same time passed through the flag.

Above the turret, there was an armored observation tower, and the soldiers above it, were responsible for observing the information of the flag on the measuring tower, which was then quickly communicated to the soldiers inside the turret.

Now, the soldier was on the lookout, watching the tower.

Soon, the soldiers on the survey tower raised the flag.

"Fire!" shouted the soldier in charge of observation.

Soon, these large-caliber guns will be fired in a salvo, and with artillery fire, they will be stacked with overwhelming momentum!
