Chapter 239 Precision Shooting
When the harsh alarm sounded suddenly, panic began to spread throughout the island.
Although wars are frequent in the seas of the New World, it is extremely rare to try to capture a fortress garrisoned by heavy naval forces. At least most of the residents of Fas Island have experienced such a thing for the first time... In other words, panic is inevitable and normal.
Most people do not need such strong spirit and adaptability, nor do they need to master the ability to deal with such extreme situations. They are neither naval soldiers nor pirates.
Within a few minutes after receiving the reminder of Aokiji, Mo Fei had returned to the position he should be.
"A little mistake..."
After coming here, Mo Fei couldn't help but sigh in his heart again. Simply put, although his accusation was commanding artillery, he looked around and there was no artillery in his field of vision - because as a commander, he was in neither a fortress nor a turret, but a shooting command room on the upper level of the naval fortress.
Here we probably can’t even smell gunpowder, and we probably can’t feel the atmosphere of artillery fire on the front line. Most of the work we need to do is to measure distances, command artillery bombardment, and convey orders... well, most of it is “working on paper”.
However, because they are about to face the attack of the large fleet, most people here except Mo Fei are nervous and the atmosphere is very serious.
In theory, Mo Fei would be the first naval officer to fight Zefa, although he was only exchanging fire from a long distance.
After sitting behind an office desk for a while, Mo Fei stood up and walked to the specially reinforced window, looking out at the sea with a thin mist outside the port.
The sea in the new world is rarely so quiet.
On the side of his position, there were several optical measuring instruments with complex structures. Several naval officers were staring at them with great tension, staring at a location farther away than Mo Fei could see.
Mo Fei glanced at that side and thought to himself, can you really see far? If the distance that can be accurately observed by a linear mapping instrument exceeds the range of a large-caliber artillery, have you considered the feeling of surface curvature?
However, just as he was thinking so wildly, he heard the person next to him say loudly:
"Major General, discover the traces of the Neo Navy fleet! Among them, 5 large surface warships, more than 10 small and medium-sized ships, with a course of 135, and the target is directly aimed at our port.
The speed is very fast, and it is expected to enter the range of the fortress gun within 1 hour."
What should come is still here. After thinking about it, Mo Fei issued a very important but not really a big so-called order, "Report to Marshal Porusalino; defend according to the plan."
The Navy's General Staff had already made a defensive plan. If there was no unexpected emergency situation, Mo Fei would not need to intervene in the command work. As for information reporting to the superiors... I don't know that Kizaru is good at seeing and hearing domineering. If he is good at seeing and hearing, he might have discovered the enemy's attack before this.
So here, Mo Fei actually plays an important role of "pendants", and its importance is not much different from Bartolomeo who has been looking around.
Soon, Mo Fei issued an order to "dispose by himself". Anyway, no one expected that artillery could play a decisive role in such high-end combat, and at most it would only play a role in clearing the field.
During the arrival of the Neo Navy, the shooting command room was constantly measuring, and real-time data was provided to various artillery fortresses according to changes in the other party's navigation conditions.
Whether busy or orderly, the combat qualities of the elite navy are still commendable.
After a while, the officer who had been staring at the sea suddenly straightened his body, and then he reported to Mo Feihui, "Major General, the enemy ship has arrived at the predetermined attack position."
"Shooting." Mo Fei issued the order he should have issued at the expected time. No, it should be said that anyone should have issued the same order at this time, so he seemed a little listless as he read the script.
"yes!"
The officer saluted Mo Fei, and then as he conveyed the corresponding order, sporadic sounds of cannons came from the fortress... Only a few of them opened fire.
Because this is a land-based shore defense fortress cannon, and the enemy attacks from the established route, the accuracy of the shells is very high. After sporadic firing, the landing point of the shells has already clamped the Zefa fleet, forming a cross-fire.
"There is no problem with the preset data, Major General, you can launch the shelling."
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Mo Fei finally got excited. He first took the phone bug handed over by the other party to connect the fortress cannon fortresses. Then, in the idea of war, he straightened his body, put his hands behind his back, then cleared his throat, and issued a major order with a strong voice that was deliberately disguised:
“open fire!!!”
Open fire with all your might.
Mo Fei's order was so full of momentum that the people around him were extremely glad that there was no gun barrel here, otherwise they would have to worry that they would be stuffed into the gun bolt and fired out by the commander.
No matter how full the emotions contained in Mo Fei's voice and whether this emotion was necessary, in short, after his order was issued, countless huge sounds made at the same time in the huge fortress and then overlapped and turned into a heavier roar. At the same time, the fortress itself seemed to tremble and shaking.
A short silence, followed by a series of roars.
In Mo Fei's sight, countless black dots crossed the sky at a speed that was neither fast nor slow, and then fell into the air in the extreme distance. On the sea surface and in the fleet, they turned into orange-red artificial storms.
The continuous roar of artillery caused a huge sound like a natural disaster, which made Mo Fei, as the commander, feel a strange sense of satisfaction from the bottom of his heart. The tilt of ammunition brought inexplicable pleasure. It can only be said that the firepower of the fortress on the island is relatively sufficient.
The enemy fleet that was bombarded launched defense while counterattacking, but it was obvious that Fas Island was still outside the range of the naval guns, and the shells fired from the naval guns fell weakly outside the port.
There is no doubt that in the current artillery battle, the navy showed its absolute suppression. However, Mo Fei knew that although his side was fighting very lively, it was difficult to cause substantial damage to the enemy, and it could only be regarded as a unique fireworks performance.
While thinking about this, Mo Fei turned around and prepared to instruct his subordinates to continue to suppress the local fleet, and then he would leave here himself to deal with the soon-to-be landing battle.
However, the moment he turned his head, a huge explosion sounded enough to suppress all the sounds around him suddenly came from the sea in the distance. A large cluster of crimson fire suddenly expanded, and a large amount of sea water was thrown away. The huge smoke and thick steam rushed straight into the sky with the fierce flames, instantly dispersing the still clouds directly above.
An enemy ship turned into flying wood pieces in the explosion, and the other ship next to it was blown into two pieces by a violent shock wave because it was too close. Half of them were suddenly lifted away, and they flew like a hammer ball, smashing against the sea.
It crossed a very long distance and directly hit the port of Fas Island. After destroying a row of buildings on the port shore, it stopped its rushing force, and then the rolling smoke ignited...
The war seemed to have spread ahead.
At this time, the fortress only carried out two or three volleys.
The artillery is so powerful? Mo Fei was completely stunned, but then two words appeared in his mind - "Explosion rock, dying."
Then he couldn't help but cover his forehead and let out a sigh as if he had crossed the dimension plane:
Chapter completed!
