Two Hundred and Eleventh Battle of Pallas

The sound of the motor rotating is even and long. As the motor rotates to drive the gear, a huge seat ring is rotating 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 of the artillery.

Although the first ship of the Dreadnought-class battleships was still in the waters of Ireland Hill, the remaining Dreadnought-class battleships had already been ordered to go south to reinforce the Palak Empire.

As time passed, the fleet of three dreadnoughts and seven cruisers had 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 giant sailing battleship leaving the port, which was smashed to pieces by a salvo of a slender Alan Hill destroyer.

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

The fleet of sailboats that went to sea to face the Imperial Navy of Ireland was wiped out within an hour, and not even a single ship escaped.

The Alan Hill fleet, which took only a few hours to gain control of the sea, did not waste any time and drove its battleship directly to the waters near Paston.

Then, the defenders on the paston port battery full of air force saw the black smoke covering the sky and the sea level in the distance.

"Is something burning at sea? There is 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 in the past year. A huge fort is built here, and it is equipped with dense artillery.

The largest caliber gun was developed by themselves, caliber 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 out of Ireland Hill. It looks similar to the artillery base of the Sino-Japanese War.

Just looking at this gun 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 Ireland Hill export type on other artillery positions.

The soldiers at the other crenels were also curiously looking at the black smoke that was getting closer and closer at this moment.

Alan Hill's naval battleships 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 in their hearts that the Alan Hill Navy, which was rumored to be very powerful, was definitely not the only warships that did not seem to be powerful.

"Sir! I don't know either... There was black smoke in the chimney of the Alan Hill battleship that I visited last time. Maybe it was because... there were too many battleships on the other side, so there was more black smoke?" , the deputy replied with some trepidation.

Even the black smoke obscures the sky, how many warships are these... After a while, there are so many warships on the other side, can the fort hold on?

The commander of the Bamyhir Empire, who was also worried that the opponent had too many warships, pressed the long sword on his waist, looked at the artillery set up at the crenel in front of him, kept cheering himself up, and barely squeezed out a sentence Said: "We have hundreds of cannons here, presumably..."

"Whoosh!" Just as he was speaking, a cannonball whizzed past his head, and the huge 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 of fortifications halfway up the mountain.

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

"Who fired the gun? Where did the gun fired?" The officers of the Bamyhir 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 subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He didn't dare to ask what was in his heart - wouldn't it be the fire of those distant enemies?

In Alan Hill's fleet, in a turret on the flagship Dreadnought Conquer, the gunner put down the phone, looked at his men helplessly, and said, "Gentlemen! The gun just now was too high. A little bit! Adjust 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, and the gun 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 they heard was not too loud.

But they could still hear the faint sound of guns, and they could still intuitively feel the terrifying power of the largest war machine built in human history under their control.

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, slammed into the thick 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.

Before the coastal defense turrets of the Bamyhir Empire could respond, the remaining turrets of the battleship Conquer, who had received the hit information, all began to roar.

The 8 305mm caliber artillery pieces are not decorations. They are all modern artillery with extremely high precision manufactured by Alan Hill. The projectiles fired have the same ballistic performance, and the target is an immobile and huge fort, so it hits the target. The 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 battery did not know which shell was detonated, and the sound of explosions continued. The wolves of the fort defenders rushed to the hogs and scattered like birds and beasts.

They were scared to pieces by a round of explosions, how could they still have the heart to fight these giant ships of Alan Hill? With the second round of salvos of the battleship Conquest, this modern artillery battery, which was built at a huge cost, 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 Dreadnought Hero of the Ireland Hill Empire followed behind the Dreadnought Victory, with a group of cruisers. , across the perimeter of the port.

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

Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Admiral Kasagami, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Alan Hill Navy who was standing on the bridge in command of the fleet, glanced at the adjutant beside him with a cruel smile, and ordered softly: " Fire!"

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

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

Because the distance is very close, there is no need to even aim. The huge momentum of the artillery salvo is unforgettable for everyone. The citizens cried and shuddered and collapsed under these cannons. The buildings in the city collapsed and burned in the explosion of the artillery shells. .

Although compared with the Air Force and the Army, the navy of Ireland Hill is seriously behind in terms of quantity and quality.

But this does not hinder its strength. After all, compared with the army and the air force, the navy of Ailan Hill faces weaker enemies. Therefore, when the naval warships that were still burning coal appeared in the waters of the Bamyhir Empire, there was only one word to describe the fighting situation of this squadron-destruction.

In a sea of ​​flames, the marines of Ireland Hill looted the city, and then sped away in desperate cries. With the terrifying speed of the entire fleet, they went all the way south, preparing to attack Briburn, another port city.

Amid the rumbling cannons of the three dreadnoughts, 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 in Briburn, where the defenders were informed in advance and did not resist at all. They just moved the valuables and left the city port dockyard to vent the anger of the southern fleet of Ireland Hill...
