Chapter 82 The Terrible Long-Range Fortress
"What a bridge," Dalton said.
"In this way, it's a problem to let thousands of people walk over." Rogge said.
With this bridge, thousands of villagers can escape from here.
"I have to say, this bridge is very good." Sanji also said.
Everyone walked to the flat area opposite the bridge, and then walked back to the previous cliff.
Standing on the edge of the cliff, Rogge said to Dalton: "Okay, hurry up and tell the villagers to move."
Dalton nodded and said, "Yes, this pine forest area is actually not safe. Although the enemy is not attacking, they may have powerful long-range artillery."
Roger and Dalton hurried back to the Pinewood area.
Dalton's men quickly began the transfer of thousands of villagers.
Thousands of villagers passed the pine tree bridge and started the transfer smoothly.
Among the fortifications in the west, Jess is resting in one of the fortifications.
"Well...it's just comfortable here." Jace said as he sat on the chair and drank hot coffee.
The surrounding officers used phone bugs for various communications.
Jess asked the officers: "How's it going? Is there anything new?"
"Commander Jess, the fortifications in the north are fine." An officer said.
"Commander Jess, the fortifications in the south are fine." Another officer said.
After hearing this, Jess nodded in satisfaction.
"Obviously, these pirates and Dalton are all afraid of our fortifications." Jess said proudly.
The last time Rogge and Dalton were investigating, they were repelled by fierce firepower.
Jess was already quite sure that no one dared to charge towards the fortifications.
The fortification groups trapped the opponent like an iron wall.
An officer asked Jace: "Commander, what will happen to these enemies in the future?"
"Didn't you install the large-caliber mortars made by Drexus on the seven iron barrel peaks before? After installation, you can bomb targets in the Drum Kingdom. Of course, this also includes here." Jess said .
The officers' faces changed drastically when they heard this.
"You said you wanted to bomb this place," the officers said in surprise.
Jess said naturally: "Yes, it happened to be a weapon experiment."
"In this case, Dalton will also be wiped out." An officer said.
Jess said proudly: "Dalton and those pirates are all people who deserve to be killed by a thousand cuts. This is the best way."
"But, may I ask, Commander? When will the bombardment take place?" an officer asked.
"This, according to the current situation. It will take about half a day to install those cannons. In other words, the first shelling will start in half a day." Jess said.
After Jess finished speaking, he poured a new cup of coffee into Lei's cup and continued to taste it.
The skies over Magnetic Drum Country are still falling with goose feathers and heavy snow, and the time is gradually approaching evening.
The cold wind also picked up at night.
In the eastern canyon of the pine forest area, villagers moved from the pine tree bridge to the area on the opposite side of the canyon.
On the flat ground opposite the canyon, Rogge, Dalton and a group brought the rear and two villagers over.
"It's finally good. Now so many people can leave here." Dalton said.
Roger looked at the Pine Tree Bridge, which allowed thousands of people to pass without any problems.
"Dalton, so many people have been moved. Then where do they go? It's late now." Rogge said.
It's late now, and it's cold here, with wind and snow.
Thousands of people still don't know where to move, let's see if Dalton and the others can do anything.
"I have a way to go to the areas we know," Dalton said.
Usopp also shook his body, and said, "Hey, have you discussed it? It's really cold here."
"Well, we have almost eaten the food before. After careful calculation, we have stayed in the pine forest area for two days. Find a place to get some ingredients quickly, and I will make some delicious food for Nami and Miss Vivi." Sanji said.
"Indeed, so many people need to be resettled." Weiwei said.
"Gah!" He ran so fast that he screamed from the cold.
Sauron also felt a little sleepy, and said, "It's not bad to find a good place to sleep."
"Okay, everyone, please follow me." Dalton said.
At this time, there was an iron barrel peak nearby.
This peak is the third peak from north to south on Magnetic Drum Island.
The tops of mountains thousands of meters high are flat areas.
On this flat area are warehouses and four large forts.
The warehouse is full of munitions, and there are a large number of soldiers guarding here.
Four large forts are located at the four corners.
Hundreds of soldiers are now working quickly.
Four large forts were checked repeatedly by them.
"Inspection of No. 1 Fort is completed"
"Inspection of No. 2 Fort is completed"
"Inspection of No. 3 Fort is completed"
"Inspection of No. 4 Fort is completed"
The officers of the four forts gathered in front of the Colonel of the King's Army at the top of the mountain to report the situation.
"Well, very good." The bearded colonel nodded.
The colonel held a phone bug and said: "Report to Commander Jess. The artillery at the top of North Peak 3 is ready. Four long-range large mortars made by Lexus have been installed on the fort."
Jess's voice came from the other side of the phone bug, and the other party said proudly: "That's good, now you can shell the pine forest area as planned. Be careful, use incendiary cluster bombs."
"Yes, Commander Jess," the Colonel replied.
The two parties then ended the call.
The bearded colonel gave the order: "All the soldiers listened to the order and aimed the two forts that can attack the pine forest area, namely the No. 1 and 4 turrets, at the pine forest area. Load the alphabet incendiary shells, calibrate and fire."
"As you command, sir."
said the officers.
Then the officers of the No. 1 turret and No. 4 turret rushed to execute the order.
The colonel, two other battery officers and some adjutants reached the edge of the mountain. Watch the bombardment about to begin.
Both forts No. 1 and No. 4 are aimed at the pine forest area northwest of the mountain.
Above the three-story fort of Fort No. 1, a ten-meter-long, one-meter-diameter long-range large mortar is being calibrated.
The body of the long-range large mortar made of ten-meter-long stainless steel is painted black, and there are words made by Drexus on the body of the gun.
The bottom of the long-range large mortar is a base that can rotate 360 degrees on the shaft.
On the side of the long-range large mortar is a calibration device with an ultra-long-range telescope.
There are Lexus-trained artillery surveyors who have been there in person to make adjustments.
There is an ultra-long-range telescope on the calibration aiming device, which can be combined with the scale of the device to measure the distance.In addition to the long run, there is also a height difference.
Skilled artillery surveyors crunched the data to arrive at values for the inclination of the long-range large mortars themselves.
"The target area is 29 degrees northwest. The lateral distance is 6700 meters, and the altitude difference is 4100 meters. It is recommended to use a 75-degree slope altitude."
Artillery manning long-range large mortars quickly maneuvered the cannons into position.
Huge and murderous long-range mortars were aimed at the pine forest area.
Next four artillerymen pushed the shell loader with its runner and lifting lever to the rear of the long-range mortar.
Open the hatch at the rear of the long-range mortar, and a spherical shell with a diameter of one meter is loaded into it.
The No. 4 turret has also made numerical confirmation, adjustment and loading according to itself.
Both forts were aimed at the pine forest area of the target area.
"fire"
There were two earth-shattering shelling sounds, and two streaks of fire pierced the night sky and fell in a parabola towards the pine forest area.
