Chapter 204

The horizon of the looking glass is dark. All the towns, buildings, docks, ships... Are hidden in the midnight black, and the boundary between the sea and the sky can not be distinguished.

"The cloudy sky, the towns under the city... Well, I didn't find them so suitable before."

Lorraine muttered, put down his sight glass, waved and called for acharin, who arranged the deck artillery.

"Are the firepower all set?"

"The upper guns on the starboard side have been strengthened to the port side, with a total of 10 18 pound guns and 12 12 12 pound guns. But the counterweight on the ship is insufficient. Considering the center of gravity, I suggest removing the bow and stern guns or reducing the upper guns to 8."

"Just remove the stern gun," Lorraine thought for a moment. "You can adjust the bottom cabin to ensure the center of gravity without the need of loose bullets and chain bullets."

"In this way, the maneuverability of the ship can not be guaranteed," acharin worried.

"Ensure that the mobile warfare capability can be restored within an hour, and fortunately, the firepower configuration of the horseshoe will not be changed, so that she can be the final defense line of the golden deer."

"I see." acharin should drink and run to give orders. After a while, he turned back. "Captain, even if the time is tight, it's too difficult for the commander to make a battle plan and achieve the battle goal overnight."

Lorraine tilted his head and said expressionless, "how long do you want?"

"The family glory is watching the wind outside the bay. So far, no signal has returned, which shows that the Defense Fleet has not responded to the battle. In that case, wouldn't it be better to prepare for one more day?"

"This kind of delay is meaningless." Lorraine closed his eyes. "Le Robel won't run. Today and tomorrow, the situation on the wharf won't change much, which means that we can choose so many methods of operation, and it's the same to delay until tomorrow."

"But the visibility tonight..."

"You can start with extended shooting. Once the town burns up, the visibility will be guaranteed."

Lorraine reached out and felt the sea breeze.

"Acharin, it's getting cold. There will probably be rain tomorrow. The shelling should be as early as possible."

"I know that rainfall will affect the spread of the fire." acharin sighed, "but as a Frenchman, this plan is really unpleasant..."

……

Haina dressed in a pure black smock, like an elf in the night sky, jumped down from the wall and landed silently.

Following her, Noah, pierce and the carefully selected golden deer stormtroopers showed their bodies from the night.

Haina raised her hand and made a silent gesture.

"Noah, time."

"1:06 a.m."

"There should be time..."

Haina took a deep breath, closed her eyes and began to compare the pictures observed at dusk.

The wall just turned over should belong to a private warehouse near the bay. Where the line of sight is accessible, the roof, wall and other details are right.

Fifty meters further south along the warehouse is Fort 1 marked by Lorraine, and then 320 meters later is Fort 2 deeper into the bay.

These two forts are relics of Martinique's early development. At that time, they were designed to resist rampant pirates. Therefore, the dilemma of shooting at a large angle with ship guns was considered early.

The spherical semi enclosed covering is 270 degrees wide. The whole body is built of bluestone and covered with cork. The shape looks like the observatory dome of later generations, which is extraordinary for coastal defense.

With the firepower of the golden deer, it is impossible to break through the composite retaining wall of this level. In order to successfully realize the shelling of the wharf, it is the only choice to send an assault team to sneak into the trembling Le Robel and dismantle the fort from the land.

So from midnight, Haina took the selected combatants ashore in a small boat 40 kilometers south of the town, walked along the coast for five hours, bypassed three tight lines composed of militia, and successfully arrived near the fort.

"Confirm the location." Haina opened her eyes. "Noah, according to Lorraine's plan, I'll take ten people to Fort 2. You and pierce will take the remaining 30 people to destroy Fort 1."

Noah touched her clever white ears and nodded solemnly: "sister Haina, are there too few people there? I heard that those guns are very old, and each one weighs more than three tons."

"I'm not good at cooperating with sailors. There are too many people to waste." Haina shook her head. "Between the two forts is the temporary barracks of the militia. It is estimated that more than 200 people are stationed, so try not to use guns before the destruction is completed. Once there is a noise, it will be very difficult."

"I know."

"That's it. Give me fifteen minutes to exercise and the attack will begin in fifteen minutes."

"OK."

In this way, unlike the pre war conference, the pre war conference ended so neatly.

Haina led the ten capable team members assigned to her to fly to the No. 2 battery in the dark, and what Lorraine said before departure was constantly reflected in her mind.

"Haina, in fact, you and Noah are not suitable to command the Stormtrooper team. Pierce may be able in another five years, but he is only an excellent shooter at this stage."

"But there's no way. This time I have to stay on the ship to deal with the accident. Bell wants to command the lucky horseshoe to protect the golden deer. Acharin has to control the whole artillery line. Wang Ye and Karen have been left in New Orleans by me. Only you two have both combat power and prestige on the ship..."

"In short, be careful. Don't force yourself. Give up decisively when it's time to give up. Your actions are not so important."

"Remember, it's just two forts that should be sent to the museum. Even if it's not finished, I'm sure to blow up the whole wharf."

"If you are 100% sure, you can rest assured..."

Don't worry

Don't worry!

Haina suddenly stopped, and the team members behind her couldn't brake. They rolled around with their big mouths covered. Although they were embarrassed, they didn't make any strange noise.

"Hide yourself," she said to a rolling gourd. "If someone accidentally leaks and hides before I kill all the people in the fort... Kill yourself, that's the simplest way to die."

Rolling gourds bared their teeth and nodded again and again. They felt Haina's murderous eyes, hurriedly climbed up, searched for secrets and tired their bodies.

When no one could be seen anywhere, Haina leaned down and took off her wide blouse, then took off her tight boots, carefully folded them into a shadowless corner, then fell on her four feet and jumped onto the smooth and towering turret like a cat.

Hidden in the dark, the stormtroopers stared at the inhuman scene. The slender Haina jumped on the dome, her limbs wide open and her upper body leaned forward.

Her elbows and knees were kept at great angles, her neck was raised high, and her eyes were straight ahead.

But her body clearly did not touch the arc-shaped stone wall. Her chest, abdomen, thigh and chin maintained a subtle angle with the arc surface. She stuck her body to the nearly vertical surface only with the curved fingertips and toes.

In just a moment, sweat seeped out of her forehead.

She gasped and breathed longer and longer.

Obviously not good at lying to his companions

How clumsy

In short, I won't let you down

Me, Noah, pierce

Even the head of the Lord will be taken from you where the tip of your sword points.

Don't worry, Lorraine.
