The training site for pistol shooting was arranged in the castle vestibule.

All witches selected for the investigation team, including Schilvey, received a revolver.

Roland spent two days to familiarize everyone with and master the gun posture, and the training entered the live-fire shooting link.The main content is divided into ten meters of shooting and five meters of fast shooting, in order to cope with the two situations of readiness and attack.

When the gunman practiced, the witches behaved differently, and when they shot, they showed their filling.

Especially when the deafening gunshots rang out, the first thing most people did was to plug their ears and see the nightingale straight.

Except for Anna.

She was motionless with her gun in both hands, pulling the trigger continuously, completely regardless of gunfire and smoke.Regardless of the head, this action alone is done cleanly.

Is Anna also very talented in other ways besides learning?Roland was secretly surprised, but as a large-caliber revolver, even if the use of black gunpowder bullets, there is a strong back seat, why her arm can not move in continuous shooting?

He walked curiously behind each other, and saw two black fires clinging to the handle and holding them firmly in the air, while Anna was only making a virtual grip, and did not touch the pistol at all.She patted her on the shoulder, she pulled the black fire as earplugs from her ear, and the expression of "come and praise me", "How, I shot the target!"

Roland couldn't cry and laughed, so he had to announce loudly: "No one can use ability to assist in practice!". .

“Oh, why?”

"If you encounter an enemy with a stone of divine punishment, don't you be flogged," Roland sighed, reaching out to help Anna with his ears.

“Hmm!”Her dansy eyes were full of laughter, and she put the gun again to aim after changing the bullet.

“Come, Max, I need to close my ears,” the lightning clamored enviously.

“Coo?”The latter refers to the gun in his hand.

"You can't shoot a bird when you're a bird," said the little girl, "and you'll stop me first, and I'll help you block it later."

“Coo!”

Other witches in the castle were also attracted by the continuous gunfire, and gradually gathered in the vestibule of the castle, and many people also showed a eager look.In the end, almost everyone came up to experience the operation method of hot weapons.

Roland felt excited to see a group of colorful women playing with the weapons in her hands with interest.

He still remembers the first time he met every witch.

Anna used to be as thin as a bamboo pole, her eyes were lifeless, and her face was always an expression.

There is always a cloud between the nightinge's eyebrows, and the smile has nothing to do with emotions, or it is to cover up their emotions, and the sad smile is often hung in the corner of the mouth;

And Wendy's unconceived fatigue after soft talk, the leaves will be lonely in the future when the fate and confusion, like a cat full of warning Lily;

And lightning, mystery moons, hummingbirds, books, and so on...

After experiencing oppression, framing and hunting, it is a blessing to survive, and as for where you will go, there is no time to think.Now they are very different from the past.

The witches allude a unique charm, their eyes gleaming with a nimble light, and the future is no longer lost to them - in addition to being able to live, they have the power to pursue other things, some things as beautiful as life.

And whenever I saw the gratitude and trust of the witches and their eyes, Roland felt full of strength.

...

After lunch, it was his turn to throw high-altitude throwing exercises for the Autumn Offensive, and the witches involved in the drills were reduced by more than half, leaving only Anna, Wendy, and Lightning.

This is also the minimum number of people needed to complete the airstrikes.

The setting of the attack at the beginning of the second autumn was the result of Roland's deliberate deliberation, and if the time was too short, he could not be fully prepared; too late, I am afraid that it would not be able to deter the sending of troops by Fico - as long as he insisted on launching a large-scale attack on the West and feeding the drugs to the civilians who had been recruited, the air strike would not have the desired effect.

So the autumn offensive must be launched before he has fully completed the call-up.

In order to fulfill his "promise", Roland planned to drop a 250-kilogram bomb directly above the palace of Fort Gray.The bomb, which is equivalent to the weight of five nightingues, will be dropped from an altitude of two kilometers, running directly through the dome of the palace, and detonated inside the palace.

As the hot air balloon slowly lifts off, the huge hanging basket carries a solid simulated bomb to the sky - because Roland is also riding in the hanging basket, the solid iron bomb is small, about four nightingale weights.However, its shape and future combat aerial bombs are exactly the same, using a thick and thin trunked shell with a stable tail and a reducer umbrella at the end, which can ensure that it is always perpendicular to the ground when it falls, and controls its maximum drop speed.

The throwing basket was also specially modified, and an iron bracket was erected to make the bomb stand vertically in the middle of the hanging basket, and half of the bottom of the hanging basket was found.As long as the valve is pulled up and the hook claw mechanism is loosened, the bomb will break away from the hanging basket and fall down.

With the rising height, the border town soon left only a piece of nail size, and the Red Water River turned into a silver glittering ribbon.

"It's the first time I've stood so high," Wendy looked out through the window, "and I felt the whole west become narrow."

"Because it's very small," Roland said with a chuckle, "look at the wild land to the north, where we should go later."

“Are you going to go up again?I can’t see the target point,” the lightning shouted outside the hanging basket.

"Almost that," he nodded to Anna, and then made a gesture of preparation to the little girl.

Although it is impossible to judge how far away from the ground is, more than a thousand meters should be there - at this altitude to launch an attack can be described as absolutely safe, and the enemy can not observe the movement of the hot air balloon.

However, the air-dropping distance of more than 1,000 meters means that the hit is completely dependent on fate, and in order to hit the target accurately, the bomb must have a guidance system.

And the little girl lightning will take on this task.

“Shoot,” Roland ordered.

Wendy pulled the valve, dropped the bomb, and the air suddenly poured into the hanging basket.Anna sealed the throw hole and tightened the fixed bracket—all of which had been practiced repeatedly on land, and the two seemed to be very tacitly matched.

“Can she hit her target?”Wendy lay down at the window and asked.

“We’ll have to wait until we get down to know the answer,” Roland shrugged.

During the fall of the bomb, the lightning will fall with it at the same speed, and apply a horizontal thrust to it, so that the bomb can freely change the trajectory, so that it can become a missile with guidance ability.When it is approaching the target, the lightning pulls the tail end mechanism, so that the reducer umbrella and the bullet separated, the bomb will get enough momentum within the last few hundred meters, until it runs through the court roof.

In this way, a sufficiently high drop distance becomes a guarantee for precise control of the landing point.

The rest is just practicing this process.(Unfinished.)
