Need tiny bit of help with German

This is for purposes of a computer game...

A German warship commander has guns trained on a spot which an unsuspecting target ship is sailing into. I want him to give an order like

Quote:

"On my count... four, three, two, one, FIRE!"


Closest I'd know to try would be something like "Auf meinem Zahl, Vier, Drei, Zwei, Einz, FEUER"

but in real life that can't be right. Any help would be appreciated.

We don't really translate "on my count" to "auf mein zaehlen" as it doesn't
make too much sense in German. A better statement would be:

Auf mein Kommando: Vier, Drei, Zwei, Eins, FEUER!!!!
