Chapter 80 Psychic Array

Weiss took the first flare that he shot alone and flew towards the distant forest. When it passed the highest point of the ballistic and turned from rising to falling, it shone in the sky. In the thick fog of dawn, pale flames appeared and disappeared. In such an environment, the lookouts on the Norman warship were likely not aware of the existence of this flare. The Norman crews who evacuated from the transport ship and fled into the forest to wait for the opportunity were likely to notice the flare. Moreover, most of them thought it was launched by their warships, so they were excited...

Half a minute later, Weiss made another shot in the same way. This time he only slightly adjusted the elevation angle and shooting angle, so that the final landing point of the flare was offset. Not long after, fires and black smoke appeared in the woods in the distance. The flames and black smoke were wrapped in the thick fog, and the distance could not be distinguished at all. You should know that the coverage height of the fog is usually around 2,000 feet, or even more than 3,000 feet. The black smoke produced by combustion, even if smoke is added, can reach a height of only a few hundred feet. As for open flames, the effective observation distance is much closer than smoke.

The "human radar" has not failed. Weiss used flares to lure the fleeing Norman crew to make fire, not to search and lock their positions, but to disrupt their thinking, unable to tell where the enemy is and where the friendly forces are, so that they cannot successfully join the reinforcements. Therefore, when the Norman crew lit a fire, Weiss immediately used high-explosive bombs to bombard. A pile of fire, two rounds, "blades left and right", and fired ten shells, hitting one place of the fire extinguisher, killing two Norman crews... directly effective

The result is limited and the psychological effect is endless. Although the Norman warship in the sky has followed, it dared not get too close, and dared not land rashly without knowing it. By putting the enemy in a state of chaos and confusion, Weiss successfully won some time, but it was far from enough to overcome the difficulties. After about fifty minutes, the Norman transport ship, which had been out of the house, finally rang out the rumbling roar of machines, and the chimney that had been silent for a long time, sprayed smoke outwards.

The two tribal heroes transferred back from the back, under the on-site guidance of the "free man" under Weiss, moved a batch of shells from the ammunition depot to the woods in front of them, and divided them into two piles of large and small. The "free man" also placed explosives and timers in the two piles of shells according to Weiss' instructions.

Soon, two explosives were detonated one after another - a small pile of shells exploded first, and a large pile of bombs later than ten seconds. From a distance, it seemed like a heavy cannon fired, and then the shells fell down and made an earth-shaking explosion.

This is a simple and practical sound and light magic!

In the thick fog, on the Norman warship that was wandering, the commander and crew made a decision to infer the opponent's strength by listening to the voice and defending positions. Through a special vision, Weiss saw the Norman warship retreating in the opposite direction in a very embarrassing manner. It was not until more than half an hour later that another Norman warship appeared, and it turned around and flew back to this side.

The second Norman warship that came to rush for help was no longer an ordinary miscellaneous fish, but a cruiser with considerable strength. In the past half an hour, Weiss's "free man" brought a batch of ammunition to the woods with tribal heroes. With Weiss' instructions, the "free man" used his old tricks again and conducted another sound and light performance, which was small first and then big. This real and false, false, made the Norman even more confused.

After watching from a distance for a while, the two Norman warships operating in conjunction finally took action: the patrol ship opened the road in front, with a height of about 800 feet; the cruiser was pressing the formation in back, with a height of about 1,000 feet. They were separated by three miles from front to back, and a straight line of trajectory was interspersed at a constant speed over this mountain forest.

During this process, although Weiss was 60% sure to open fire and hit the enemy ship, he always kept his troops and let them pass through the nearby airspace. The reason for his silence was that the shells were not powerful enough to cause substantial damage to any enemy ship. Once fired, the enemy's fire reconnaissance achieved its goal. Without fire, the enemy only saw a piece of smoke everywhere in the mountains and forests, as if he had just passed a fierce battle, and he might have heard a looming mechanical roar. Out of instinct, the warship commander and their staff were concerned about whether there was a fatal threat in this thick fog. The current signs easily made them have a bad illusion: there is an enemy's attack ship hidden here!

There is no doubt that since the outbreak of this war, both the technical and tactical aspects of the battlefield and the macro-strategic levels, the biggest change is in the air. At the beginning of the war, the aviation troops of both sides of the war were almost all flying ships. In less than three years, combat aircraft with the main body following the principles of aerodynamics emerged and became aerial combat power that could influence the situation. However, in many aspects, flying ships with the Star Source Stone as the aerospace power still have characteristics that are difficult to match with. Therefore, the replacement of aircraft for flight ships is far from "will do whatever they want". Even though all large warships were once damaged, they relied on fighter jets to seize the front line system.

The air-powered federal army still made considerable investment in the quality and quantity of flight ships, and designed and built new types of ships such as high-speed attack ships, air defense frigates, aircraft carriers, and high-speed transport ships based on strategic and tactical needs. Among them, the number of high-speed attack ships is not large, the tonnage is not large, and the number of appearances is limited. However, almost every time you break into the Norman army controlled area, you have to make waves and make trouble. In clear weather, the Norman army focuses on guarding against cluster bombing of Federal Army fighter jets in its airspace, while in poor weather such as strong winds, rains and fog, the Norman people focus on guarding against long-distance raids of Federal Army attack ships.

High speed, strong firepower, high fire rate, strong survival... In order to combine these four key performances, the Federal Army has used a variety of new technologies on the new high-speed attack ships, forming a unique structural feature. If a frontal challenge is held fairly and justly, it will be difficult for this kind of attack ship to defeat the Norman cruiser, but if it is an encounter or a chaotic battle, the winning rate between the two sides is basically 55. The key is which side can take the lead. In this thick fog, even if the Normans fight against the Federal Army attack ship two-on-one, if they lose the first move, they will likely lose the battle. This is the fundamental reason for their extreme caution!

After a while, the two Norman warships returned. This time they still chose to intersperse in a straight line, with speed and spacing not changing, but the cutting angle and height were changed. Before they got closer, Weiss fired three incendiary bombs into the downwind mountain forest, creating new fire sources and thick smoke.

They ventured and interspersed in the thick fog twice, but they never understood the enemy's situation. The Normans who had lost battles recently must be very angry. They wandered in the distance for a moment, tentatively using small and medium caliber naval guns to shoot firepower into the depths of the thick fog. The shells roared into the mountains and forests, and the shells fell near and far away, far away, far away from this transport ship that could not take off again.

Seeing the tribal heroes outside the transport ship lying on the ground, Weiss poked his head out of the cannon position and shouted loudly in Ulster: "There is no danger, continue to transport!"

Some of them could understand Ulster, and the shells were indeed located far away, so they climbed up one after another.

"No problem! Keep moving!" Weiss continued to call.

When the tribe's heroes started to carry wooden boxes of food again, Weiss focused on the two Norman warships. He blew for about a quarter of an hour and fired more than a hundred shells. They began to try new tactics: the patrol ship reduced its flight speed by half, reduced its flight altitude to three to four hundred feet, and re-engaged the S-shaped route, while the cruiser continued to maintain a flight altitude of more than a thousand feet, and built a large circle in the vast fog with its original speed.

Seeing this, Weiss couldn't help but clench his fists - not because of worries, but because of an excited sense of tension. The enemies were killed by themselves in an unknown situation, if not by chance, or because of top tactical strategies. He closely monitored the direction of the two enemy ships, continued to perform corresponding ballistic calculations, and thought in reverse from the perspective of the enemy ship commander. Fortunately, the enemy's patrol ship was advancing slowly, and the cruiser was mechanically circling, giving him enough patience and determination to find the right opportunity and entry point.

Before we knew it, a long time had passed. Weiss's "free man" came back and reported: "Sir, almost 70% of the designated materials have been transported, and it is expected to be completed in another two hours."

In Weiss's opinion, there is no essential difference between two hours or three hours. When ensuring the safety of the main force of the guerrilla advance team, there is no need to force all or most of them to be transported - at this time, 70, 80, or 90% of the food can be transported out, which is already a good result.

"It's just right!" Weiss asked the soldier to the gun position and told him how to fire the cannon. After loading the shells and adjusting the shooting angle, he ran to the gun position on the other side, loading and adjusting. It took a few seconds to check the side in his mind and shouted from the air: "Listen to my orders... open fire!"

The "free man" immediately pulled the cannon rope, and Weiss deliberately slapped the rope one later. Two high-explosive bombs broke out of the chamber. They first rose, and after 9-10 seconds of flight, they reached the highest point of the trajectory. At this time, the flight status of the shells tended to level, and then the shells began to fall - when one or two of them hit the Norman cruiser, the explosion form and the traces left behind would mislead the enemy: the shells were fired from similar or higher altitudes.
