Chapter 211 211 Battle of Pallas

The sound of the motor rotating is even and long, and as the motor rotates, it drives the gears, a huge The seat ring is turning at a constant speed.

On this huge seat ring, inside the thick armored steel plate, the artillerymen who have been ready for a long time are staring at the semi-automatic loader to transport the shells to the front of the breech block of the artillery.

Although the first ship of the fearless class battleship, the fearless, is still in the Sea Territory of Alanhill, the remaining fearless class battleships have already been ordered to go south to reinforce the Palak Empire.

With the passage of time, a fleet of three fearless ships and seven cruisers has descended to the coastline of the Bamyhir Empire.

This may be the most powerful fleet in the world. Their chimneys are smoking thick black smoke, and the fleet battle lines formed in a row are across the sea, majestic and resolute.

The residents of Paston, the largest port of the Bamyhir Empire, were watching a battleship of a giant sailing ship leaving the port, and it was beaten by a salvo of a slender Alanhill destroyer. Fragments.

The combat operation against the Bamyhir Imperial Navy was completely over without even a single afternoon tea time.

The fleet of sailing ships that set out to meet the Alanhill Imperial Navy was wiped out within an hour, not even a single ship escaped.

The Alanhill fleet, which only took a few hours to gain control of the sea, wasted no time and drove its battleship directly to the Sea Territory near Paston.

Then, the defenders on the paston harbor battery full of air force saw the black smoke covering the heavens, shielding the sun, across the sea level in the distance.

"Is something burning at sea? It's such a big fire?" An officer put down the telescope in his hand, turned sideways, and asked the deputy standing beside him. The hazy black smoke on the sea level made him feel very uneasy.

The port of Paston has changed a lot this year. A huge fort is built here, equipped with densely packed artillery.

The largest caliber gun was developed by them, with a caliber of 300 mm. The size is huge and looks magnificent. In order to make this giant artillery turn, a very distinctive artillery mount was also made.

The designers of this world have designed an artillery reset device by themselves with their own imagination and part of the technology flowing from Alanhill. It looks similar to the artillery base of the Sino-Japanese War.

Just by looking at this mount, you can imagine what this heavy 300mm caliber cannon is. Its maximum range is about 8 kilometers, which is basically the same as the 130mm caliber artillery of the imitation Alanhill export type on other gun positions.

The other soldiers at the crenels are also looking at the black smoke that is getting closer and closer at this moment, and they don't know what kind of new weapons Alanhill has deployed this time.

Alanhill's naval battleship had visited the Bamyhir Empire before, but at that time, in order to save trouble, three auxiliary cruisers were dispatched. The idea at the time was to visit it once anyway, and bring some goods back by the way.

However, all the coastal defense soldiers of the Bamyhir Empire knew that the rumored very powerful Alanhill navy was definitely not the only battleships that did not seem to be powerful.

"Sir! I don't know either... The chimney of the Alanhill battleship I visited last time was black, maybe because... there were too many battleships, so there was more black smoke?" His own officer asked a question, and the deputy replied with some trepidation.

Even the black smoke covers the heavens, shielding the sun, how many battleships is this... After a while, there are so many battleships on the other side, can the fort hold on?

The commander of the Bamyhir Empire, who was also worried about the opponent's too many battleships, pressed the long sword on his waist and looked at the artillery set up at the crenel in front of him, constantly giving himself Cheering up, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "We have hundreds of cannons here, presumably..."

"sou!" As he spoke, a cannonball whistled past, a huge The sound of breaking wind made everyone shrink their necks involuntarily. Afterwards, the shell that swept through the entire fort position suddenly hit the mountain against which the fort was backed, and exploded on the second layer fortifications halfway up the mountain.

Because it didn't hit the main position, the shell did not cause much damage. A bunker built on the mountain and a position were thrown out, and many pieces of concrete even fell. Above the main camp.

"Who fired the guns? Where did the guns fire?" The officers of the Nabamyhir Empire looked around in horror, looking around, as if they wanted to find the enemy who was shelling their positions.

His deputy looked at the black smoke that was approaching in the distance, and swallowed subconsciously. He didn't dare to ask what was in his heart - wouldn't it be the fire of those distant enemies?

In Alanhill's fleet, in a turret on the flagship Fearless, the gunner put down the phone, looked at his men helplessly, and said, "Gentlemen! The first gun is a little higher! Rest the parameters! Adjust the parameters by 0.2 degrees, and try firing the No. 2 gun again!"

Following his shout, the gunner who adjusted the elevation angle of the gun turned the handle in front of him twice, The barrel on the turret moved slightly downward. After correcting the firing parameters, the gunner pressed the firing button, and the No. 2 artillery sat back in an instant, and then began to slowly reset forward.

The deafening explosions were inaudible to the artillerymen. They all wore earphones to prevent ear damage, and armored steel plates blocked the muzzle of the loudest guns, so the sound was not too loud. .

But they can still hear the faint sound of cannons, and they can still intuitively feel that they are controlling the terrifying power of the largest war machine built in human history.

A huge shell roared out from the No. 2 barrel of the turret, followed by thick black smoke from the raised muzzle. With a loud noise, the gun barrel quickly retreated a bit, and then fully returned to its original position.

The shell crossed a distance of at least 13 kilometers, hit the heavy city wall of the fort, and then exploded violently. The explosion blew up all the nearby equipment and personnel, and blew up several 130mm caliber coastal defense guns directly into parts.

The remaining turrets of the battleship Conquer, who received the hit information, all began to roar before the coastal defense garrisons of the Bamyhir Empire could react.

The 8 305mm caliber artillery pieces are not decorations. They are all modern artillery with extremely high precision made by Alanhill. The projectiles fired have the same ballistic performance, and the target is immobile and huge in size. The turret, so the hit accuracy is quite high.

Just the 6 follow-up shells fired by a battleship of the HMS Conqueror made the entire Paston Harbor fort shrouded in flames. Hundreds of cannons on the fort didn't even have time to fight back, and they were all drowned in the explosion.

The artillery shells stored in the fort do not know which shells were detonated, and the sound of explosions continued. The wolves of the fort defenders rushed to the hogs and scattered like birds and beasts.

Frightened by an explosion, how could they still have the heart to fight these giant ships of Alanhill? With the second round salvo of the HMS Conqueror, this modern artillery fort, which cost a lot of money to build, has completely become history.

At the same time, in the terrified eyes of the citizens of Paston, and in the rumbling sound of explosions on the battery in the distance, the hero of the Alanhill Empire, the fearless ship, followed behind the victory ship. Along with a group of cruisers, they straddled the perimeter of the port.

Those sturdy artillery pieces, with their dark muzzles, pointed to the city of Paston, which had prospered because of trade and industry.

Putting down the telescope in his hand, Admiral Kasagami, the deputy commander of the Alanhill Navy, who was standing on the bridge in command of the fleet, glanced at the adjutant beside him with a cruel smile, and said softly. The command: "Fire!"

His adjutant turned and looked towards the captain of the battleship Hero, and repeated the commander's order loudly: "Fire!"

"Fire! !" The captain put his hands behind his back, raised his chin and gave the order to fire. On the battleship, which had been ready for a long time, the eight cannons roared together.

Because the distance is very close, so there is no need to even aim. The huge momentum of the artillery salvo is unforgettable for everyone. The object collapsed and burned in the explosion of the shell.

Although compared to the Air Force and the Army, Alanhill's Navy lags far behind both in terms of quantity and quality.

But this does not hinder its strength. After all, compared to the army and the air force, Alanhill's naval forces face weaker enemies. Therefore, when the coal-burning naval battleship appeared in the Sea Territory of the Baamehir Empire, there was only one word to describe the fighting situation of this squadron - crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.

Amid a sea of fire, Alanhill's marines looted the city and then sped away in desperate cries. With the terrifying speed of the entire fleet, they went all the way south, ready to attack another port city, Briburn.

Amid the rumbling cannons of the three fearless ships, the counterattack on the southern front of the Allied countries officially began. The main force of the 5th Army under the command of General Coria invaded the Jesno Empire. Because the enemy was too weak, the 5th Army crossed the wide Proutes River on the same day.

Two days later, Kasagami's fleet arrived at Briburn, where the defenders had been informed in advance, and there was no resistance at all. They just moved the valuables, and left the city port dockyard to vent their anger on Alanhill's southward fleet..."

One update today, and another update tomorrow...
