Red Alert: Calamity Era
Chapter 634: Cannon
The words were paused, as Vader watched, Via continued: "Due to long periods of non-use, the shore defense guns in the fort are old antiques decades ago, and the stored ammunition is also in the group. In the case of the enemy’s fleet, it’s better to keep this shore defense gun and use it when the enemy starts to land on the island, so that it can perform some defense on the second line of defense. Fire support, although there is only one, but it is not much to talk about!"
Speaking of this, Via was quite angry.
The long period of peace made the defenders who had been stationed in the fort only enjoy peace and enjoyment, and did not seek to make progress. They used the shore defense artillery in the fort to fry fish.
Because at a certain time of the year, the blue whiskers that are active in the deep sea leave the deep sea to lay their eggs in the shallow water areas along the coast, and Turner Island is a place where the blue whiskers must pass through. Silk fish is a good delicacy. The meat is tender and delicious. It is a rare delicacy.
Therefore, every time a school of blue whiskers appeared, the defenders in the fort would have shore defense artillery to fry fish to satisfy the desire to speak.
What makes Via most angry is that this obvious violation of law and discipline has become a routine.
When taking over the fortress, when he learned of this practice and confronted Via’s questioning, the centurion who was stationed at the fortress was very upright and confident, saying that it was a welfare for the soldiers stationed on Turner Island. Over the years, this has always been the case, not only for him, but also for the previous centurions.
From a certain point, although this is a trivial matter, garrisoning on Turner Island is indeed a chore. It is excusable for the officers to obtain some benefits for their men. But on the other hand, it also shows that the military system of Bentley has already Fallen, decayed.
If you don't even act as officers, how can you talk about ordinary soldiers?
"It can only be so!"
Even so, Vader looked rather helpless.
The enemy recklessly bombed Turner Island, but they did not have any effective counter-attack methods, which made Vader feel very uncomfortable.
Via felt the helpless tone in Vader's words.
Regarding his younger brother’s discouragement, Via could only comfort him: "This is war. In the case of unequal weapons, the one behind can only be beaten. This battle will last for a long, long time. You have to learn to adapt."
Vader nodded.
He is already doing this, adapting to the unequal gap between the weapons of both sides.
----
The battle started, and Turner Island was isolated and helpless under the siege of the First Army Fleet.
As the gateway to Marani Bay, the importance of Turner Island in this war is self-evident. Both the Bentley and the First Army are bound to win.
The First Army is attacking Turner Island, and Bentley is not idle.
In the sea of woods along the coastline northeast of Turner Island, an army belonging to the city of Marani is moving.
The terrain of Bentley is rugged and mountainous. If there is no road, it will be difficult to walk in the forest.
Fortunately, there is a road that traverses the forest along the coastline. With this road, Digor is leading his subordinates closer to the destination.
The sea of woods is boundless, and the mountains overlap. In a green sea of woods, a white trace winds around the mountains and reaches the sea of woods along the coastline. Then it moves straight forward until the end of the line of sight.
The white traces are a road, a two-lane road. The road is more than 20 meters wide and is made of concrete. It looks quite solid. The ground is very flat and the signs of wear are obvious. This shows that this road is in regular use. .
At this time, an army was marching on the winding road under the mountains. The black figure formed a long dragon. In the marching team, there were soldiers wearing gray military coats and rumbling war machines.
Among the war machinery, there is an assault vehicle used by communist officers. The assault vehicle is gray, with undulating and rounded bodies, like a beetle. It looks very skinny. The body is large and has The six wheels are on the road, almost occupying the entire one-way street, and the length is probably no less than ten meters.
There are also two heavy machine guns on the roof, and soldiers operating the heavy machine guns can be seen in the egg-shaped glass shell.
In addition to assault vehicles, there are also "guards" shaking on the road, acting like humans.
Every step of the huge mechanical foot on the ground, there will be a "zheng" stepping sound. When the sound of "zheng" footsteps are all over, the marching team is full of metal texture.
At a glance, among the black and overwhelming dragons, there are a lot of guards, and the long line looks from beginning to end, and the number of guards is probably no fewer than dozens.
In the middle of the team, a larger war machine is roaring.
It has eighteen huge wheels, a cab with sharp corners, slanted armor, and irregular cuboid containers.
It has a length of 20 meters and a height of no less than 4 meters. Its power seems to be very strong. When driving, the roar of "rumbling" came from the power room, and billowing white smoke came out of the exhaust pipe. .
This is a Bentley military transport vehicle, which is best at transporting heavy objects between cities in dangerous forests.
Heavy armor can withstand the threat of polluting beasts in the forests on both sides of the road. In Bentley, the transportation of materials between cities depends on this type of military transport vehicle.
In the marching team, there are more than a dozen military transport vehicles. Their huge metal body and the "rumbling" power room make the marching team look particularly eye-catching in the forest, the "rumbling" roar , Can be heard from far away.
Behind each military transport vehicle, a four-wheeled towed cannon is dragged. The cannon is mighty, has a bloated body, and a long and thick barrel, with a caliber of no less than 150 mm.
This is the latest cannon developed by Bentley. It has a caliber of 175 mm and a maximum range of 27 kilometers. It is named "Ruoli" Type A cannon.
To commemorate the main person in charge of developing it, it was named "Ruoli", and "A" represents the most famous graphic designer "A" in Bentley.
