As an overseas territory of Britain, Gibraltar is appointed by the royal family as governor and garrison commander to be responsible for foreign affairs, defense and public security.
The explosion woke up brigadier general Eddie Walter, governor of Gibraltar.
When he got up from bed, before he could put on his boots, the door had been pushed open: "general, general, not good!"
Of course not. If you listen to the outside voice, you can know that your side is under attack. Brigadier general Eddie said, "order, all the soldiers to gather and prepare for the counter attack. Is it the Spanish?"
Gibraltar was originally taken by Britain from Spain by force. Therefore, there is no doubt that the enemy of Gibraltar is almost the Spanish. Now, in the judgment of brigadier general Eddie, the explosion should belong to the Spanish bombing. Next, will the Spanish attack?
In short, we should show the courage of the Royal Army and resolutely defeat the enemy!
Brigadier general Eddie certainly knows how important this is.
But then, he fell into the ice cave.
"It's not the Spanish, it's the French, it's the French fleet, coming!"
French? How is that possible? Are the French crazy?
Hastily put on his boots and walked out of his room. Before he went to the headquarters, he saw a scene that he would never forget.
Shell after shell, in the sky across the sea in the distance, constantly shining, that is the fire when the naval gun fired!
It was as if death had come.
"Boom!" A huge shell hit the power station in the north of the city. In an instant, thick smoke came out of the power station. Huge flames filled the sky and illuminated the darkness before dawn.
The boiler of the power station was blown up! The burning things even flew to the sky and became a gorgeous fireworks. This scene actually has a sad beauty.
With the explosion, power was cut off throughout Gibraltar.
"Come on, start the emergency generator set immediately, come on!" He shouted loudly, wearing his military cap and running towards the headquarters. At this time, he needs to take command and deal with this terrible battle!
In the whole rock mountain, they built a lot of fortifications, many of which are inside the mountain. These fortifications need a huge blower to continuously blow in fresh air. Otherwise, the soldiers in the fortifications inside the mountain will be suffocated because of lack of oxygen.
Usually, it depends on the power provided by the power plant. In case of such an emergency, it must rely on the generator to supply power.
At the foot of the rock mountain, there is a high-power generator, which uses a large marine diesel engine as power. The power provided is enough for all the fortifications in the mountain, even making bread in an electric oven.
When the other side's shelling began, this side was awakened, and several soldiers were in a hurry to start.
For large engines, the starting mode is special. It's a delusion to shake the handle manually. The electric motor doesn't have so much driving force. It can only rely on compressed air.
Yes, large diesel engines are almost started with compressed air.
Turn on the switch to inject compressed air into each cylinder, push the piston in sequence, and the whole engine will run. Then you can inject diesel and start it successfully.
A soldier pushed the switch, but found a huge diesel engine. There was no sign of rotation at all. When he looked at the instrument above by the light of the explosion, he immediately cursed: "Damn, there is no pressure on the compressed gas cylinder!"
Compressed air is needed to start. Now, there is no air pressure in the huge quadruple cylinder. It was still full yesterday!
Without compressed air, the generator cannot be started, the generator cannot be started, the wind cannot be blown, and the soldiers in the fortification face the risk of suffocation.
Although there are vents, it is far from enough.
What should I do?
Brigadier general Eddie ignored so much. After giving the order to turn on the standby generator, he immediately turned his attention elsewhere.
Take off the torpedo!
As an important port, they have an airport runway here. In the north, on one side of the port, they have a runway of more than 1000 kilometers, which is enough to take off and land large aircraft.
Now, they have at least one squadron of swordfish attack aircraft here. Immediately let the swordfish take off and attack the French fleet!
In addition, although there are no large ships in the port, the largest is the destroyer with a displacement of thousands of tons, and we can't rest! Get out now!
His orders were conveyed, but it was not so easy to execute them.
French, it's a sneak attack.
Sneak attack means that the enemy is not prepared. The French navy has suffered a loss. Now it's the British's turn.
If it is a battle ready, the swordfish can take off in a few minutes, but now, absolutely not!
Gasoline is volatile. Therefore, at ordinary times, aircraft are filled with fuel before take-off. At the same time, it is even more so to mount weapons and ammunition. According to different targets, different ammunition can be mounted. Torpedo or bomb, torpedo, submarine or surface ship, large warship or small warship need to be determined before take-off.
Now, at a critical juncture, the British naval airmen are indeed well-trained, and they have begun to prepare when general Eddie's orders arrive.
The tanker started to the side of the aircraft. The thick fuel pipe was plugged into the fuel tank of the aircraft. The fuel pump rumbled to add fuel to the aircraft.
At the same time, the ground service was also in a hurry, pushing out the torpedo and preparing to mount it. After all, they already knew that the shelling came from the sea, and it must be the enemy's warship.
The pilot also came to help the ground crew mount it together.
But they are still too late!
A unique sound with higher and higher frequency attracted everyone's attention. When they looked up, they were surprised to see the shell flying with a beautiful arc.
No, fire on your side!
Gibraltar's area is not large, and its strategic objectives are very clear. The fire in the power plant lit up the neighborhood.
The French Navy's main ship Brittany has 10 340mm naval guns. Now, the four naval guns on the bow have aimed at the runway and fired their own shells.
"Boom!" The 340mm high explosive bomb exploded about 200 meters near the runway. In the huge explosion, the whole ground shook like a magnitude 7 earthquake!
