Steel Steam and Flame

Chapter 488: White Waves (16)

The majors continued to stay inside the airship, heading deeper.

The wreckage of the airship fell sideways, and the huge bullet holes in the steel body were almost directly facing the ground. Over the years, with the passage of time, and with the help of those ancient trees to entangle the roots, it was firmly covered with a layer of solid soil, and more details were completely buried.

After a preliminary survey of the wreck not long ago, the major found what was called opportunity. Standard military airships, most of their predecessors evolved from warships traveling on the water. The early designs almost all followed the concept of various types of warships. Except for the lift device and the huge steam furnace as the power source, the shadow of the surface warship can be found in all aspects. This concept is retained in every generation of airships. As a long oval airship, the length will vary greatly due to the difference in use. Military airships have a long hull ratio, which is also to open more gun barrels.

"About five hundred and fifty meters." The major stopped at this moment, and they climbed inside the airship. The airship that fell sideways has a floor-to-floor structure. If you want to go to the next space, you can only look for the broken doors and stairs like a rock climbing. This kind of work can only be done by them, and ordinary soldiers no longer have such abundant physical strength.

They illuminate the surroundings with flashlights, looking for dense tree roots that hang down, and then find bullet holes formed by breakdown in the armor layer.

According to the major, they were lucky. Because of the length of the airship and the location when it fell, they can pass through the interior of the airship wreckage to reach the enemy. As long as the next luck can be better, and the bullet holes that were pierced by the shells are just right, then they only need to be careful to pierce the solid dirt on the bullet holes to have the possibility of lurking around the enemy.

Always looking for such an opportunity, the major and captains have roughly figured out the enemy's situation. The strength is naturally inferior to myself. But whether strength is comparable is one thing, and whether or not they can kill the opponent is another matter. The individual's combat power has not reached its peak, or it has not transitioned to a stage. Even in the face of the intertwined firepower web of ordinary people, they still only have to hide with their heads. Ordinary firearms are still like this, other such as the most common artillery, the power of explosion is also they cannot bear.

They need to be close to the enemy, or need to cut in from a dead point in the enemy's firepower network, so that they can be proud of their strength. When fighting head-on, their advantage will be reduced several times, and the final actual effect is not much higher than those of experienced veterans.

The wreckage of this airship seemed to have given the major an opportunity. Because the bullet holes in the ammunition warehouse were not the main reason for the airship falling, it can be known that there must be other bullet holes on the wreckage.

"The development of the imperial industry stopped more than a hundred years ago. Since then, there have been almost no major changes in design or manufacturing models. This is also a military standard battleship airship, not a special type. , The general structure has related book introductions, some basic data and structure, I mostly remember." The major said, "It can help us a lot to find those bullet holes."

The rays of several bright flashlights swayed in the dark, and they investigated the surrounding situation in turn. The black here is dead, and even a little warm air can bring nothing. The light that cannot be captured here also becomes a white object.

"According to the information brought down on the 16th, we should be the enemy's main team above us." The beam pointed upwards, and there happened to be large clusters of tree roots hanging down there. A bullet hole was opened there, and a large piece of tree roots were knotted , As if woven by a dexterous hand, just blocked the bullet hole, and the soil couldn't fall.

"I don't know where the specific position is in the enemy team?" The major looked at the faces of several lieutenants around him, "It is a dangerous position, but the opportunity is also the greatest. Although many people in the main unit are with you The injury, the reaction and sensitivity are not there, but if you are not careful, it is still dangerous."

"There are two bullet holes not far from each other on the upper third floor. One of them has been exploded, and a lot of rocks have accumulated. But after cleaning up, you should be able to force Nai to go out alone." A captain recalled. If the enemy team does not change significantly, the flanks surrounded by the two sides will slowly unfold in the way we guessed. The two bullet holes are located on the edge of the enemy team, which is a suitable entry point. No other places are needed. Considered, it is not very suitable as an offensive position."

"There won't be a lot of time, here is very close to Xuefeng. The enemies behind you will be here soon. Hurry up and start working." The major nodded after hearing the captain's words, and said in a calm voice, "Testing strength The time has come. When cleaning the roots and soil on the cannonball holes, you must control your strength and move as lightly as possible. Although the enemy stays in strong winds and blizzards, the feeling of movement under the ground will not be very sensitive, but be careful. No errors."

"There are not many opportunities, just this time." The major checked the time. "Before 11:30, no matter how the progress is, please gather here. Of course I hope everyone has completed the task and rushed over in advance." At this time, the atmosphere also eased a little, and the several captains separated and went to the bullet hole they were responsible for.

The major stayed in place, climbed up from the roots and took out a tactical knife to cut the roots little by little. The depth of each cut is just right, and the strong roots of the tree become like cakes under the major's knife and strength, soft, without any obvious resistance.

The meticulous operation, the sound produced can be ignored, most of the vibration is absorbed in the process of transmission, and the enemies squatting on it are completely unaware of what is happening under their feet. Both sides are doing what they planned in time, looking at peace.

"Captain, there is a message from the major, let's get ready to start." The correspondent said to the captain who was waiting in the ammunition warehouse with the intermittent tapping sound from the wreckage of the airship, knowing the message of the major.

"Got it." The captain was closing his eyes at the moment, leaning against a dozen neatly arranged cannonballs to rest. He stood up at this moment and gave an order to wake up all the resting people around ~ www.ltnovel.com~ to check the equipment, get on the ground, and prepare for battle. "

"The poison gas canister will be released a little later after the sound of the gunshot. At that time, more enemies will tear off their masks." Said to another captain who remained here.

Everyone quietly left the ammunition warehouse, bowed their bodies and walked in the snow-covered passage with no defensive power, found behind the ancient tree that had been reserved, set up their guns, and waited for the signal to fire.

"Everyone, check the time. The other side is attacking on time at 11:40. Our side will be two minutes late, and then cut into the enemy team from the bullet hole." The major looked at the captains who had gathered at the scheduled time. Remind to check your equipment.

"That's the plan. I hope everyone will be taken care of." The major said, and then after thinking about it, he sighed, and his body drooped down a bit, as if exhausted.

"It's not a compulsory order. If we are destined to have no chance after ten minutes, you can leave by yourself. You can judge the situation by yourself." The major said, "It may be easier to understand that you are running away. You are still young, just no matter what. I can’t get into the army. But with your strength, it’s too simple to survive in the Empire, and tranquilizers are not difficult. You all know that in the dark world of the Empire, it’s easy to get traded on the black market. Good luck! "
