Chapter 1354 Missing Half a Meter
The cable was blown off about eight meters long. Corrich took it from the port of the fort. There was still blood on his fingers. At this time, he didn't care about bandaging. Trembling, continue to connect the circuit.
It took him three minutes to connect the cables, then he pulled electrical tape from his pocket and carefully wrapped the connectors.
"boom!"
At this moment, the thunderous sound came again. This huge roar instantly made the surrounding earth shake again. This is the second round of the enemy's salvo!
There was a buzzing sound in his ears, and Corrich felt liquid flowing out of his ears. This is the power of large-caliber naval guns. The huge explosion sound and the airflow of the shock wave, even he was affected in this crater. arrive.
Corrich knew that there was a problem with his ears, and he couldn't care less. The only thing that made him feel at ease was that the craters here made him not worry about being hit by fragments, let alone getting hit.
No two shells will fall into the same crater. This is the experience of battlefield veterans, and it is also a mathematical statistical law. Every time a shot is fired, tiny variables will cause the deviation of the ballistic trajectory. The same, the second shell will not hit the crater of the first.
Experienced veterans on the battlefield will hide in the crater, which is safer.
After taking one side, it was time to take the other, Corrich cautiously.
At this time, the generator is still working, that is to say, the input terminal that was blown up here still has voltage, and their naval guns use a 250-volt DC system. There are two All the wires are live.
For a professional electrician, live work is a basic skill. As long as you master the principle of the circuit, you can be safe and sound.
(Many years ago, when Huadong Zhixiong was still a junior high school student, the fluorescent lamp in the class was broken. I saw that the electrician of the school directly connected the wire, and the wire was catching fire and sparking, so they twisted the wire together by hand. That's called a dash.)
Pulling the thick cable, Corrich pulled it here, and as it got closer, Corrich's heart became more and more heavy, not good!
Sure enough, when he pulled the cable to the end, it was half a meter away from the blown input end here!
not long enough!
If he didn't get attacked by the plane when he came, the cable he brought was long enough, but the soldier carrying the cable was killed and a section of the cable was blown off. Now it's not long enough!
How to do?
With an electrician's knife in his hand, Corrich dug hard on the ground, and finally dug out a single piece of damaged wire. Just after the cable was blown, most of it was blown away and melted. Only This section just fell back into the pit and was covered by soil again.
Connect the black wire first, then the red wire.
Corrich connected this line. At this time, there was no loop formed, and it was the negative pole. It was originally grounded, and there was no voltage with the ground, so there was no scruples in connecting it.
It will be connected soon, but there is still a section of more than half a meter on the positive side!
How to do?
Keep looking!
Corrich continued to dig in the nearby pit with an electric knife, hoping to find it as soon as possible. He knew that time was running out.
Inside the fort.
"What's the matter? It's been so long and it hasn't been connected yet?" Georgie stomped anxiously on his gun emplacement. Although the lookout post on his side saw that a few of the outgoing ones were hit, they were not able to connect. Seeing Corrich crawling into the crater, who knew that after so long, it still didn't connect?
"Report, Balaclava Bay West Coast Observatory found a fleet that is approaching us, including a battleship, target data..."
At this moment, Georgi got the news that he was looking forward to and caught him off guard.
Finally found the enemy's fleet, now, it's the turn of the fort on your side!
"Attention, load high-speed armor-piercing bullets, full charge, and adjust the shooting according to the shooting table. Quick! Move me!" Georgie shouted loudly.
One of the great advantages of coastal defense artillery is that the firing table can be formulated in advance. As long as the target position is known, the shooting elements, the elevation angle, the azimuth angle, and the charging method can be directly found from the firing table.
Now, they're going to fire!
only…
"Quick, move!" On the No. 30 fort, there are two triple-mounted 305mm coastal defense guns, less than 500 meters apart. At this time, the artillery in the two coastal defense guns are moving rapidly. on.
The gunner turned the wheel, and the huge turret moved slowly, little by little.
Originally, they needed to be powered by electricity, but the power supply of the battery was only to power them and turn on the exhaust fan, otherwise, when the cannons were fired, the gunpowder smoke would kill them.
By hand, the rotation of the thousand-ton turret is quite slow.
The loading of the shells was even slower. The hoist was manually shaken, and the shells and propellants were slowly lifted from the ammunition store below. Their arms were sore, and the shells were still moving at the speed of a turtle.
"boom!"
The second salvo of the Germans began again, and the whole fort was shaken. One soldier was unsteady, his body leaned back, and suddenly he lost his center of gravity.
"Ah..." he screamed, falling towards the shaft below.
No one had time to pull him, no one even cared about him, and now, the battle is about to begin!
"The observation station on the west bank of Balaclava Bay, have you observed the firing of their naval guns?" Georgie continued to shout.
"Report, the other party is not shooting, they are stopping, now is a good opportunity to hit them, please fire immediately!"
If the power is still there, they are now ready to fire, and now, not even half of the mission is done!
"Quick, give me all my strength! It's time to avenge our fleet!" Georgi shouted loudly.
The enemy fleet that is shooting at oneself, in another direction, ignore them now, since the enemy has been observed, it must be destroyed!
"Report, turret No. 1 is loaded."
"Turret No. 2 is loaded."
"Fire!" Georgi shouted loudly. "Long live the Soviets and the Black Sea Fleet!"
"Boom!" The 305mm coastal defense gun fired, and a huge flame emerged from the muzzle, roasting the surrounding bushes for camouflage, but those bushes did not burn, they were made of steel completed.
In front of the two turrets, huge fireballs were raised, and the counterattack of the Black Sea Fleet had finally arrived!
At the same time, the fiery fireball almost floated over the crater. Corrich stopped and continued to look for the cable. He knew what he had to do.
