Volume 1 6 Part 8 - Helpless Supporters

"Turn on the lights and get ready for battle!" the captain began to raise his voice, "Their speed is about forty to fifty units, we only have thirty units, and they will catch up soon." ”

The fuel lamps in the bridge were immediately lit, and the tense atmosphere before the battle was slightly relieved by the warm orange lights, but the increasingly intense tension soon dissipated this relief.

Now, within the entire "super-giant mothership land vehicle", people began to prepare in a hurry.

"Quick, tell me how many weapons we have not yet been repaired?" asked the captain at once, like the general next to him.

"The three main turrets in front have been repaired, and the second gun in the first turret has been damaged, and the relevant firing devices have been removed. The general immediately took out a thick notebook on the side and began to report to the captain clearly and in detail according to the situation recorded on it, "There are three main turrets in the rear, the No. 4 turret is intact, and the No. 5 and No. 6 turrets cannot be rotated, but the guns in them can all fire." ”

After listening to these reports, the captain frowned slightly: "Hmm...... Or is it like this...... Haven't fixed ...... yet."

The situation of the "Super Giant Mothership Land Vehicle" is not good now, if it is fought in a traditional battle line, then the No. 5 and No. 6 turrets, which are damaged by the rear direction machine pointing to the rear, will not be able to fire to the side.

Of course, if the rear of the super-giant vehicle is aimed at the enemy ship in order to ensure that the No. 5 and No. 6 turrets can fire, it will affect the firepower in front of the vehicle.

"What about the secondary guns?" the captain then asked the general next to him.

The general on the side turned the page of the notebook in his hand with a brush, and then followed the light of the oil lamp, looked at the notebook and replied quickly: "The secondary artillery ...... Ten secondary guns on the left side, five broken, ten secondary guns on the right, three broken. ”

"Okay, got it, let's line up for now. The captain continued, "Use the strategy I had in mind. ”

At this moment, the ship's sirens also sounded.

The captain knew that everyone on the ship was starting to get busy with the battle.

"Prepare to turn!" the captain shouted to the edge of the high space on the bridge, and shouted to the helmsmen on the lower deck of the bridge, "Turn to the left!

"Understood!

"Understood!"

Several helmsmen on the bridge revolve around a large horizontally mounted rudder that controls the power distributed by the tracks on both sides and thus the steering.

Under the rotation of the large rudder, the kinetic energy transmitted by the giant steam engine began to quickly transfer to the right track.

Under the effect of the difference in the speed of the tracks on both sides, the entire large-tonnage super giant vehicle suddenly began to drift on the sand.

On the right side of the mega vehicle, like a huge wave, a burst of yellow sand swelled!

"Right!" Seeing that the steering was already halfway through, the captain immediately ordered the helmsmen - the large rudder was heavy, the speed of rotation was preferred, and if the steering was done almost when it was almost complete, it would overturn.

"Okay, accelerate! Fourth gear!" the captain quickly sped up the mega vehicle after it had turned.

......

Inside the turret, a large number of crew members are making different preparations.

"Plug in the power, turn the turret, and the angle is seventy degrees to the right!" one of the commanders began to command according to the instructions received.

"Roger, the power is being plugged in, ready to turn the turret, angle, seventy degrees to the right!" Soon, the crew, who was operating on the side of one of the wheels, shouted in reply.

At the same time, the soldiers in the structure below the turret began to quickly prepare for the reload.

The turret is not just the outer part of the vehicle that can be rotated - the large cylindrical structure underneath the turret is rigidly connected to the turret and rotates with the rotation of the upper part of the turret.

"Okay, push the shells into the loafers!!!!," shouted one of the men in charge of carrying the shells in the structure below the turret.

"Three, two, one, push!"

"Three, two, one, push! good ......"

"Continue!Three, two, one, push!"

A number of crew members on the side of it, one after another, worked together to push the shells on the cart into the fixed structure of the lifting machine.

"Alright! Confirm safety! Start lifting!" shouted to the other commander of the personnel in charge of directing the handling of the shells, looking to the side.

"Roger, confirmed safe, start lifting!" the commander in charge of directing the operation of the aircraft repeated, loudly.

Similarly, in the structure on the lower side of the turret, dozens of crew members connected the power of the hoisting machine to the steam engine and divided the main power shaft.

Under the operation of the loafers, the shells placed horizontally began to rise upwards in the cylindrical structure under the turret.

In the upper structure of the shells, the crews waited for the shells, and once the shells were lifted above, they began the next step of preparing for the firing of the guns.

"Everyone! ready!" shouted to the crew next to him.

"Yes!"

"Understood!"

The crew around the ship, who was responsible for reloading, was already standing in the prescribed position.

"Okay! Stop! Lock!"

"The loafer is locked!" shouted the commander below who was in charge of directing the operation of the loafer.

"Roger!

"Alright, start loading!" shouted the officer in charge of the loading of the shells to the loaders.

In the midst of a cacophony, the shells were quickly loaded into the artillery.

......

The exterior of a mega vehicle.

Four turrets, having been turned to the prescribed orientation, the muzzles, towards the side of the enemy ship.

Soon, the guns on the four turrets opened fire on each other in turn amid a series of loud noises.

Heavy shells, which exploded in a continuous manner close to the enemy fleet, in a flash of light, the shock wave of the explosion raised a puff of sand and dust on the sand - like a smoke screen quickly rising!

......

The radio waves behind the white noise.

"What's new! Those enemies are moving in the direction of the fleet of native supporters. ”

"Roger, understood. ”

"It feels like a battle is going to happen soon!"

"There's nothing we can do about it, and even if we send our support now, it's too late, unfortunately......"

"Okay......"

"Perhaps, you may try to do something more while ensuring your safety, to influence the enemy from the side. ”

"It's a pity...... We can't do anything about it......"

"Okay...... Hopefully, the enemy won't find those native supporters. ”
