Weiss temporarily resolved the "internal conflict" with one hand and temptation with the other. Next, it was time to seriously deal with the "external threat". If there was no accident, the Norman transport ship should have arrived at Tasser at the moment according to the original route and speed. The Normans may not be surprised if they were half an hour late, but for more than half an hour, any commander of a name would be alert. Once they contacted Warrens, they would know the departure time of the transport ship. With this simple straight line, there may be only two types of missing contact: serious failures

, or encountering enemy attacks. No matter which one, you must quickly send search and rescue forces. Flying ships are of course the most efficient, but the mountains and forests are filled with thick fog. If they do not get reliable guidance, even if they fly past this place, it will be difficult to find the wreckage of the falling transport ship. However, many Norman crew members have escaped before. Without knowing the details of the opponent, they will not organize counterattacks with their own strength. But once they hear the movement of the flying ship, they will definitely try every means to attract the attention of friendly forces and then lead them here to regain the wreckage of the transport ship.

After clarifying their ideas, Weiss immediately thought of a countermeasure: When the main force of the guerrilla advance team arrives and then transfers the materials with them, it will take one day at the earliest. How can we win this day under the enemy's nose? With their existing manpower and composition, it is unrealistic to take the initiative to attack and hunt down the Norman crew fleeing into the mountains and forests. Perhaps we can take the initiative to attack and hunt down the Norman crew fleeing into the mountains and forests. Perhaps we can take the initiative to attack and lure the enemy's flying ships down and hurt them severely, so that they dare not come down to associate with the fleeing Norman soldiers, or try every means to convey a terrible message to the enemy - the Federal Army sent strong combat cruisers to lure the light ships of the Norman army with thick fog, so the Normans had to mobilize large warships to come, which must take a certain amount of time...

Fortunately, with the tribal hero who reached an employment relationship, Weiss' plan could be implemented. The only combat power under his command helped to find a list of goods on the transport ship. He quickly searched, including steel bars, steel plates, steel castings, cement, wires, drying Yunmai, canned wheat cakes, canned sauce meat, etc., none of which can be used to overturn Norman ships. As a military transport ship, its arsenal only stores a few firearms and ammunition, and defensive weapons also include rapid-fire guns and machine guns installed in various battle positions on the side of the side - the largest caliber, that is, the secondary gun level of the patrol ship, is just fine to use to drive out enemy fighters. Even if you have the lead, you will have a chance to beat the opponent down, not to mention that there are not even enough gunners at present... What's wrong?

Time passed by minute by minute, Weiss clearly realized that under such conditions, he could not expect a grand victory. He made up his mind and let the heroes of the tribe move boxes of food in the cargo hold to the nearby woods to hide it. He brought his rifle and cleared the woods in a radius of five miles. As he expected, the survivors who fled from the transport ships did not leave, and some of them hid in the woods, covering the night sky, vegetation and this thick fog, waiting for an opportunity to act. Driven by the desire to survive, Weiss could not care whether the enemy was unarmed. As long as he refused to leave, he would be the target of his hunt. If he heard the sound of gunfire, he would not pursue him.

More than an hour later, Weiss made a big circle and returned to the transport ship. Although there was only one guerrilla advance soldier in the battle, the tribal heroes who had gained freedom of movement did not scatter or slackened work, but instead worked hard. Compared with the loading and unloading workers at the Warrens Air Transfer Station, their individual efficiency was naturally no less than that of manpower. However, manpower was manpower after all, and it was incomparable to mechanical transportation. At the current speed, even if the decay of the utility after a large amount of physical energy was not taken into account, it would take at least five or six hours to move all the food.

Five or six hours...

Weiss entered the transport ship and inspected the injuries of the injured one by one. The transport ship was equipped with a medical room and was equipped with basic medical equipment and medicines. Ordinary trauma can be properly treated and can recover after a period of rest. Among the four wounded soldiers, two were bombed by bullets. One lost his right arm and the other was scrapped on the spot. Although they were sutured and hemostasised on time, they saved their lives, but there was basically no hope of returning to the team.

On the bridge, the wounded man with a broken leg grinned and said to Weiss: "Sir, you just went to hunt raccoon hunting!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his cheeks twitched unnaturally, and a few drops of cold sweat slid down his sideburns. In the Ulster Free Federation, raccoons are a small animal common in the wilderness woods. They are as cautious as cats, quick-witted and rarely attack people on their own initiative. However, they are one of the most popular game and are also the trophy for hunters to show off their shooting skills.

Although Weiss had not experienced the pain of breaking his legs personally, he also knew what kind of torture and torture it was. He squatted down and looked straight at the other party with comforting eyes: "Kill two, and the rest escaped."

"Think about them running fast!" said the wounded man with broken legs hatefully. Running has become a luxury for him.

"These people are not worth worrying about. What is really troublesome is the reinforcements that the enemy may arrive at any time." Weiss said, climbing from the vertical ladder outside the bridge to the broken signal station. This is the highest point of the transport ship and the commanding height of ten miles. He looked into the distance and could find more than a dozen enemy crew members in the woods outside the range. Only a few were moving quickly, and most of them stayed somewhere without moving. If there were no foreign aid, these stinky fish and shrimp were insignificant. Once the Norman warship arrived, these guys would definitely find ways to contact. When driving the enemy in the woods, Weiss discovered that two Norman crew members had collected piles of dry branches, and it seemed that they were planning to click up to provide ground guidance for the aviation troops at the right time.

As his eyes moved up, Weiss' expression on his face stopped.

What is coming will always come!

Judging from the outline and combat reading of the warship, the Norman warship that appears in the special field of vision is a second-level patrol ship, and can be said to be the weakest among combat ships. Although this character of "the king asked me to patrol the mountains" does not have the terrible deterrence of cruisers or even assault ships, or battleships, for Weiss and his remaining soldiers, it is still an existence that can subvert everything!

After exiting the special vision, the world in front of Weiss was still dark. It was dawn at this time, and the night was fading away. The thick morning fog continued to obscure the sight, but the visual distance had gradually increased from nearly zero at night to three or five feet. After a while, it might reach ten or twenty feet... The limitation of visual distance made the enemy's air and ground personnel unable to detect the other party early, and there might even be a situation where the Norman warship flew past several miles away and the ground personnel could not detect it.

Yes, confuse the enemy's audio-visual!

Weiss called the only warrior who could move freely from the bridge to the deck and gave him the opportunity. After a while, he found Brother Beard and another tribal hero and took them to the boiler compartment of the transport ship to see if he could reignite a boiler.

Then Weiss came to the side gun position below the bow, where the two largest caliber guns on the ship were equipped with one left and one right. Weiss had previously inspected them. They were Norman army-style 16pir (compared to 80mm) caliber ship rapid-fire guns, with a horizontal range of about 35,000-40,000 feet and an air range of about 20,000-25,000 feet; using hydraulic buffers, without mechanical auxiliary loading machines, the combat rate is estimated to be 6-8 rounds per minute. This time, he made a more detailed observation from the combat angle: both guns are equipped with simple gun shields, which can provide the gunner with limited protection; there are four types of spare ammunition in the battle position, from the warhead shape.

In terms of the shape and type of bullet marks, they are high-explosive bombs, flares, shrunks, incendiary bombs, and no armor-piercing bombs. Afterwards, Weiss quickly counted the shells in the ammunition depot. In this small ammunition depot, there were only 60 high-explosive bombs, 24 flares, 60 shrunks, and 36 incendiary bombs, all in three rounds per box of wooden ammunition boxes. This reserve is of course incomparable to combat ships - it is obvious that the Normans did not consider the need for transport ships to be involved in ship-to-ship fire exchange. High-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs are used to deal with ground targets, while shrunks are used to deal with enemy fighters, and flares are considered for night combat.

During the process of counting ammunition, Weiss's combat ideas became clearer. When the counting ammunition was completed, he rolled up his sleeves and moved out 4 boxes of high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs, and spread them to the two gun positions. In addition, conventional bullets can be used, 15 high-explosive bombs, 15 incendiary bombs, 2 flares, and 4 shrapnel bullets on each side.

After the preparation of the missile, Weiss spent a little more time to familiarize himself with the operation of this Norman naval gun. Through his experience in Lorraine's guerrilla warfare, he was familiar with the various conventional weapons of the Norman army, which had reached a level comparable to that of the Federal Army. After such preparation, he observed the direction of the enemy warships again and found that the enemy ship was on an S-type route in the air. Although this slowed down the propulsion speed, he could maximize the reconnaissance surface.

There was still no obvious movement in the lower cabin. Weiss personally went to the boiler cabin. The boiler was just lit at this moment. The emergency fire sprinklers wet the coal outside, and several coal bins were also soaked in water. The heroes of the tribe had to pull the dried coal from the farther coal bin to use it, which delayed a lot of time. Add fuel, ignite, and reignite the boiler. It will take some time before enough steam can be generated to promote the operation of the steam engine, and then there will be a mechanical roar.

Just wait like this?

Of course not!
