Chapter 19 Not Defeated
The soldiers of the British Royal Navy, especially those with anti-aircraft guns, will definitely thank the Federation of China. As we all know, the style of anti-aircraft guns has always been the Chinese Federal Navy leading the world trend. This is especially true after the Federation of Chinese used the "Ganjiang-class warships" and Dunker's retreat in exchange for Gibraltar.
Because the Chinese Federation's warship designs are all modular structures, and even when the "Ganjiang-class" warships themselves are made, they are modular structure equipment. The double 25mm machine guns have played a great role in the air defense operations of previous naval battles. Whether it is the threat of the double 25mm guns to the aircraft or the shrapnel walls arranged by the air defense rockets in the air, they have brought safety to the entire fleet.
But for the soldiers, such anti-aircraft guns require quite a few operators. Only three people are needed, one gun and a non-commissioned officer leads two ammunition fillers. The ammunition comes from the armored ammunition deck on the lower deck. God knows how the Chinese Federation people did it. Those ammunition depots are also semi-automatic and occupy very small space.
In fact, on the warships of the Federal Defense Forces of China, one is the dispersed ammunition depot, and secondly, except for the overly large caliber main gun, all digital Hua automatic loading systems. Even the "intensive array" systems on the Federal Warships of China are fully automatic. Including the vertical missile launch devices on the "Himalaya-class" nuclear-powered battleships, they are also completed by automatic control. But it should be noted that retaining a convenient manual system will always be a major feature in the design of the Federal Warships. It is also something that sailors are often trained but never used.
It is the electronically controlled semi-automatic integrated air-proof turret equipped on the "Ganjiang-class" warships, which is the most imitated equipment by the entire European and American navies. Because when the "Ganjiang-class" warships are in the hands of the United Kingdom, they purchased the production line of this turret from the Chinese Federation. Now it has become a standard Allied air-proof turret, and even after modification, it can be loaded with sparrow-to-air missiles.
A special design in this turret is that the guns and soldiers who operate artillery have a "angel egg" system for ejection. As mentioned earlier, this system has been widely equipped by the navy and air force in Europe and the United States. For example, where inflatable rubber boats are placed on all warships in Europe and the United States, there are now rows of angel eggs. Soldiers do not have to squeeze in lifeboats. Open it directly and close the cabin door and eject it in a few seconds.
Despite this, under the Germans' desperate saturation attack, the Allied warships operating in the waters near Normandy were hit hard. Even the bullets flying everywhere in the sky made the hope of escape lower.
On the Victory heavy aircraft carrier, the initial attack of four 1-ton "Dandelion" TV-guided missiles ignited aviation gasoline. The entire battleship immediately turned into a huge brazier. The operators of the anti-aircraft turrets arranged on the side of the side were truly escaped. When the order to abandon the ship and the escape system on the battleship was fully activated, the gun soldiers pulled down the ejected safety rope while praying for their two subordinates.
Then there was the sound of the rocket's acceleration, followed by the pulling force of the survival parachute. At this time, the anti-collision airbag on the inner wall of the "Angel Egg" of the gun soldier was tightly squeezed and could not move at all. Near his nose, a small tube was releasing fresh compressed air so that he would not suffocate. The situation was not bad at this time. But before the gun soldier could recover from the pulling force caused by the lifting and the release of the life parachute, a terrible sound came.
"Peng...Peng..."
That was the time when the 25mm shell exploded, and the "angel egg" hit by the debris shot from the radio near-explosion shells sounded.
"God, don't break through the shell. Otherwise, it will fall into the sea..."
The gun officer knew that the sinking of several large ships had made the anti-aircraft gunners on all the Allied warships look like crazy. They would fire at all the floating things in the sky without distinguishing themselves from each other. Although the comforting female voice in the "Angel Egg" was still saying something softly, the nervous gasping gun soldiers could not listen at all.
He would rather be hung under a life umbrella now and look at the shells and bullets flying towards him. Especially those on various ships, those "wall-mounted" machine gun sailors who have only been fired in remote-controlled model targets, must be more nervous at this moment than the gunners of anti-aircraft guns. Look at the way they fired with machine guns, which makes people sometimes want to kick them.
"Oh my God... land quickly... hurry up..."
Listening to the dense shells and the sound of bullets, the gun officer almost started to shout. In this relatively safe angel bullet, he felt that it had been as long as a century. Although he had fresh air to breathe, and although the sweet female voice was trying to comfort him, the fear in his heart almost broke down the gun soldiers.
Finally, with a dull sound of entering the sea, the "Angel Egg" fell on the sea surface. This was not safe, because the sea water poured into the cabin of the "Angel Egg". However, the gun soldiers could still feel that the water stopped rising only when it reached his waist, which puzzled him. However, the sweet voice came to solve his confusion. Because the place where the sea water flooded, there were small electrodes, which activated another recording.
"Our shell has been penetrated and water has begun to enter. I will always pay attention to this matter, but I have to remind you to prepare your life jacket. Also, please try to check the damage at the highest point of the shell immediately, and block it if possible. We guarantee that as long as the water in the cabin is less than half, you will be safe. But if possible, please try to quickly prevent water leakage. There are round vertebral rubber plugs in the bag at the top of the cabin... If the hole is too big, we may lose a lot of food, and there are several stainless steel tanks on the bulkhead..."
The recording program in "Angel Egg" is definitely the most advanced. It can relieve the fear in the hearts of the escapees and provide him with comfort and various suggestions. Several rubber plugs and a large roll of sturdy tape can almost plug any loopholes. Moreover, there are small sealed chambers separated by multiple grids between the double shells of "Angel Egg" and the surface is also filled with helium. This can ensure that even if half of the water is filled, the "Angel Egg" can still float on the water surface. And even if the whole water is filled, you can still empty a few cans containing food and tighten the lid and put it on the original clip before the water is filled, so it can still float on the sea surface. As for food, you have to use the hook and bait on the "Angel Egg".
When the leak finally stopped, the gunman breathed a sigh of relief and shouted loudly.
"Thank God, thank the Federation of China, and everyone who designed and made the Angel Egg!"

When the gun soldier calmed down again and could see the entire waters near Normandy, his tears could no longer be stopped. In the sky, the German missiles were still flying over, and the desperate German army almost used up half of the inventory of the entire Western Front during these hours of attack. The other half belonged to Ernst Utd's headquarters management. If he was also managed by the commander of Albert Kesseling, he would definitely launch them all without hesitation.
"Nothing else, as long as the Allied Navy can be severely damaged, it will be worth it even if the Atlantic barrier is lost!"
From the "Eggs of the Sky" floating on the sea, the guns and cannon soldiers could see that there were burning warships everywhere on the sea. The missiles in the sky were still flying over, and dazzling artillery fire was still flashing on the coast, and heavy explosions came from time to time. However, when the Allied fleets were unable to take care of themselves, they did not care about the troops on the shore, so they had to let their Great German artillery fire suffer.
Although the battle situation is absolutely not optimistic at this moment, the guns and guns officers also saw that all the Allied air-to-air weapons were constantly spraying flames into the sky. Double-equipped 37mm anti-aircraft guns, 25mm rapid-fire machine guns and those 12.7mm machine guns. Under the desperate attack of the Germans, they had done their best. And looking at the intensity of the firepower on the warship, the guns and guns officers showed some relief on their faces.
"We are not defeated, no, at least not yet!"
When he cried out in his heart, he had already begun to try to move his "angel egg". Because he was not injured and was frightened, he was a useful person when he went to any warship. Even if he was using a "wall-mounted machine gun", he was still an excellent gun officer.
The fleet of the Allied Marines was hit hardest in that night, so it is not necessary to say that it was severely damaged.
