The smoke and dust in the sky, the earth-shattering cries and the sound of horses' hooves, occasionally mixed with the sound of gunfire and the wail of a shot.

The momentum seemed to be quite strong, reminiscent of a knight who had launched a fearless charge at the enemy's position, but Roland could not feel the divine solemnity in the sight before him, he just felt stupid.

Shock a battalion of all-firearms marines with armor and a small six-pounder gun? He couldn't find a better word than unimaginable stupidity.

In fact, they are not really stupid, as can be seen from the fact that they not only demolished the railway, but also picked up the roadbed, these guys still seriously thought about the carjacking plan. At least in this way, even if the train is prepared with steel rails, sleepers and other equipment in advance, it is not easy to refill the foundation and lay the rails while protecting the safety of the train under the rain of bullets and cavalry.

"Major, please let me lead a company to guard the road repairers. ”

Captain Berthier stepped in and spoke, and behind him Captains Bessière and Oudino also had eager expressions on their faces.

For military personnel, in addition to getting rich, only promotions and medals can make them crazy.

The situation of these people in front of them is even more special, they were originally junior officers in the army, and after the army was not satisfied, they decisively sang "There is no place to keep a master here, there is a place to keep a master", and transferred to the Marine Corps. Emerging in a series of overseas colonial expansion operations, the epaulettes were changed from sergeant epaulettes to captain's epaulettes within a few months......

For these ambitious soldiers. Nothing annoys them more than this kind of peace - at least until they earn a colonel's pension and their own overseas fiefdoms, and then it is not too late to talk about peace. Anyway, there are already so many people who have reaped the benefits of overseas expansion, and there are not a few of them.

Despite their complaints, the complaints of a few lieutenants did not have any effect on the situation, and the negotiations on naval disarmament began as scheduled, and everyone was saddened.

I don't know if it was the Mother Goddess who heard their expectations, or if the curse ritual performed every night had an effect, and they were chosen to be the glorious condolence guards, although they were uncomfortable to be commanded by a hairy boy who hadn't been in the army for a day. But it's also an opportunity to show your face. It really excites them.

Now there is such a group of people who have been brushing up their achievements, and how can this group of militants hold on? If they hadn't remembered the discipline of the army, they would have rolled up their sleeves and pounced on their subordinates with red-eyed eyes and drooling.

After looking closely through the binoculars for a while, Roland shook his head. He handed the telescope to Berthier.

"You look into the woods at 10 o'clock. ”

Berthier looked at it for a moment. Shake your head.

"There's nothing there?"

"Look closely. ”

"Oh. Looks like something, a flagpole?"

"It's a spear. ”

Roland said firmly, his eyebrows furrowed.

"They divided the troops into two parts: they were more numerous. However, the inferior assault troops were not numerous, but they were all elite assault forces. If we divide our forces rashly, the other side will choose the weaker side. ”

This is a tactic that is very suitable for cavalry, making full use of its own advantages in mobility and numbers, looking at the gap when the opponent gets off the train to repair the railroad tracks, or the infantry is lined up, and uses a rapid charge to destroy part of the opponent's living forces, waiting for the opportunity to capture the train.

"They don't even need to occupy the train directly, just break the link mechanism or the railroad tracks behind it, and we can't move. ”

"We can call for reinforcements......"

"It's too late, the nearest garrison will need at least one full day from gathering to arriving here after receiving the news, which is enough time for them to launch several strong attacks. Besides—"

Roland unconsciously glanced at the carriage door and smiled wryly.

"You hope Her Highness thinks we can't handle even a bunch of bandits?"

The faces of the three captains turned red at once, and they could not say a word.

As men, they can say no, but they absolutely can't accept being told no by women...... Not to mention that this also involves the face of the royal navy and the entire Charlemagne, so they have no way out.

"That's ...... Get the 6-pounder cannon ready to shoot and disrupt the opponent's view with the shot. After I got off the train and opened the 'barrier', Captain Bessier and Captain Oudino disembarked with your company, and Captain Berthier defended the train. ”

"But this ......"

Cold sweat brushed down Captain Bertier's cheeks and fell to the ground, not because this plan was not feasible, even if he let an old Qiu Ba like him judge, Roland's proposal was the most realistic and successful plan at present. But this ancestor is the future heir of the consortium, if anything happens, none of them can escape, and they will all be pulled to the coffin.

The three captains shouted in their hearts, "It's a long life!", and they didn't even bother to wipe the cold sweat on their heads, and did everything they could to dissuade Roland from carrying out his crazy plan.

"This ...... Major, you see that it is enough to make a barrage with a 6-pounder cannon, and you don't have to risk it yourself......"

"That's right, our men are highly trained soldiers and will be able to complete the formation in no time. ”

"You're a commander, and if you get hurt or something, it will affect the morale of the troops. ”

Surrounded by three big men in the middle, with a posture that almost burst into tears, Roland couldn't help but laugh, but also felt a trace of pity for these people.

Obviously, they were frightened by the terrible rumors about Li Lin, and they had to be so cautious for the sake of their own lives and the lives of their families.

Poor little people.

Despite understanding and sympathy for their plight, Roland was not going to follow these stupid proposals and let the soldiers die in vain, and just as he was about to open his mouth to retort, the intercom line in the car rang next to him, and after glancing at the captains, Roland picked up the microphone.

"Hello?"

"How. Are you surrounded by a group of uncles and tell you not to run around?"

Nona's evil smile came from the microphone, and Roland was not surprised by her speech as if she was there, and asked with a wry smile:

"So, do you have anything to build?"

"I won't discuss the details, anyway, the trouble now is the sneaky guy hiding in the woods, right? If you defeat them, the impasse in front of you can be broken in one go. ”

"Hey...... You shouldn't ......?"

"Roland can't move freely now, can he? Leave it to me, anyway, we were sent to deal with this kind of emergency, let your men start acting in 15 minutes. ”

A moment after the unscrupulous proclamation passed. Roland spoke again.

"Please. Don't go overboard. ”

"Understood. ”

Hanging up the microphone and turning to look at the adults with inexplicable faces, the young man sighed and announced:

"Gentlemen. Please prepare. After 15 minutes, the impact was launched. ”

＃＃＃＃＃＃＃＃＃

At the end of the train, when yellow gas is spewed out from the black carriage. The bandits were all stunned, and immediately realized that the puff of smoke had been cast to cover the train's escape after hearing the sound of machinery running and wheels running on the tracks. Followed by. Without hesitation, they rushed into the smoke.

In less than a minute, they escaped at a faster pace, covering their eyes and throats, tears and snot almost running down their faces. Seeing the painful appearance of their companions, the remaining robbers also gave up their plans to pursue the carriage that had escaped alone.

First, they couldn't catch up, and second, even if they went to ask for help, it would take two days to come and go, and the train had already been taken down before that. As for fighting back or something...... What can you do in a mere car?

The robbers did not intend to waste their precious strength for a carriage, and they continued their previous game of harassment, attacking repeatedly like a pack of wolves, draining each other's energy and body, waiting for the flaw to appear.

Judging by the military principle of "concentration of forces", their judgment cannot be called wrong, but in fact, it is a fatal mistake.

Of course, from the very beginning of the decision to hijack this train, they were already on a point of no return, and now this mistake has only accelerated this process......

The brakes creaked, and the black carriage stopped, and after rounding a large arc, it now climbed a gentle slope, a full 2 kilometers from the train and the thieves, and the periscope could see the dust and smoke from the galloping horses.

"Disguise!"

After confirming that the surrounding situation was safe, Nona gave a loud order, and the top of the carriage quickly slid to the left and right, and the camouflage plates around it were then lowered, and two majestic chariot turrets were exposed, and 10 spherical machine gun holes popped out of the four walls of the carriage at the same time.

At first glance, a person familiar with the Wehrmacht's armored vehicles would think that it was a Leopard chariot turret painted with tricolor fragments, but if he looked closely, he would see that it was not at all.

Thicker, longer barrels, "pig-nosed" gun shields, large hexagonal tail cabin welded turrets - these are not the designs that have appeared on the turrets of Leopard fighting vehicles.

This is indeed not the turret of the Leopard chariot, but it has a strong kinship with the Leopard.

The next-generation E-50.Ausf.M test turret is its official name, and test pilots, including Nona, use the nickname "Lohengrin" to refer to the turret of this high-performance vehicle.

For a long time, the vehicle designers of the Defense Forces have always had an obsession with high-powered chariot guns, on the one hand, due to the population problem, the armies of other factions can always form a numerical advantage over the elven army, so the Defense Force must rely on superior equipment and use the quality advantage to offset the numerical advantage of the opponent. On the other hand, in order to make the council grandfathers more generous in allocating their budgets, it is also necessary for them to fool around with some "toys" that are even very advanced on the drawings, and attract more R&D funds for more promising but financially constrained projects.

For these wonderfully complex reasons, the tank designers, including Dr. Henschel and Dr. Porcher, never really gave up on working on heavy armored vehicles with high-powered tank guns, despite the fact that the consul himself stated that "the army will not be equipped with armored combat vehicles of the 50-ton class" and that "the current focus is on the improvement and increased producibility of existing models". Instead, in the name of "pre-research of the next-generation vehicle project", the research of related plans was privately promoted.

To the delight of the doctors, in addition to the Tiger 88 gun and the Leopard 75 gun, there are also many high-powered guns on the shelves of the Wehrmacht for them to choose from, including the 100 times diameter 75mm tank gun originally scheduled to be mounted on the Leopard (151mm penetration depth when fired at 1000 meters, and 191mm penetration depth for tungsten carbide core armor-piercing shells fired at the same distance), and the 68 times diameter 105mm tank gun used by the Tiger P (181mm penetration depth at 1000 meters distance) There are also "tubular artifacts" such as 55 times the diameter 128mm chariot cannon and the more terrifying 150mm and 170mm chariot cannons that can be worn by dragons without magic protection at a distance of 2500 meters. With a sufficient budget, they quickly tossed a bunch of "dinosaurs" ranging from 75 to 188 tons......

However, the "Lohengrin" is not the product of linear thinking, as the turret of the "next-generation main tank" E-50, it is equipped with a 71 times diameter 88mm improved tank gun, which has eliminated the muzzle brake and replaced the mechanical one-way gun stabilizer with an electro-hydraulic two-way gun stabilizer, and is equipped with a semi-automatic loader and a simple ballistic calculator. On the premise of sufficient firepower, Tongguò increased the rate of fire and accuracy to achieve an increase in combat effectiveness, and at the same time, enough space was reserved for upgrading in the future with a 68x diameter 105mm tank gun. It is worth mentioning that the roof of this turret also reserves a place for the launcher of the X-7 wire-guided winged rocket, so that if necessary, it can be "as fast as it can be saved" to intensify firepower.

Guided weapons are not needed to deal with a couple of robbers, the modified 88 gun is enough.

"High-explosive grenade, reloading complete!"

"The wind is northeast, and the wind speed is 5.8 meters per second!"

"Ballistic calculations complete! Elevation angle fixed!"

"The brake device is locked, and the hydraulic buffer device is not abnormal!"

The muzzle of the black hole pointed to the woods in the distance, and the modified turret took advantage of the spacious space of the armed compartment to increase the elevation angle to be used as a field gun, and now that all the preparations were completed, Nona looked at the pocket watch quietly.

The second hand overlaps with the number 12, and the command bursts from the girl's abdominal dantian.

"Lohengrin, 1, 2, launch-!!"

At the sound of Nona's command, the chariot cannon erupted with fire, the huge recoil shook the entire carriage, and the two grenades tore through the atmosphere, drawing a perfect parabola in the sky, and then smashed into the grove 3 kilometers away, exploding in the middle of the train thieves.

At the same time as the two fireballs flashed, the Marines rushed off the train and pounced on the bewildered gangsters with bayonets in the air. (To be continued......)
