Chapter 302 Purgatory(1/2)
{}The weather is clear, and white clouds of different shapes are scattered in the clear blue sky. However, under the clear sky, Shahe Airport is boiling at this time, and the roar of aircraft engines is stirring in the air. Please remember us

In the past few days, this airport located on the banks of the Shah River has attracted the attention of the world. Almost overnight, the Chinese Air Force has gained the reputation of "the best in the world." In this era of maritime power,
The appearance or disappearance of any powerful navy will attract the attention of the entire world.
There are many things that have existed and disappeared in this world, and the fleet is of course no exception. The most famous of them may be the Spanish "Invincible Fleet". It can be said that the defeat of the Armada determined the decline of this country. In this
In an era when sea power determines everything, maritime power is the foundation of a country.
The rise of every naval power is aware of the decline and failure of another naval power. Almost every naval power rises by stepping on the remains of another naval power. Among the rise of the navy, there is only one exception.
, the Americans proved to the world the rise of a naval power through the circumnavigation of the "Great White Fleet".
And now, when eight cutting-edge main warships of the First Fleet of the Imperial Navy of Japan were sunk, a naval power fell in an instant, but it did not become a naval power, but the most surprising thing is precisely here, because
The Chinese, who have no sea power worth mentioning at all, did not use any sea power. Instead, they used aircraft, a new weapon that had never shown its ferocious side in the past!
Planes can sink battleships!
While aircraft from other countries were still performing reconnaissance missions, China's aircraft had already achieved amazing results. For a time, the world's attention shifted to Lianyungang and noticed the miracle created by those "toy"-like aircraft.
While reporters were exclaiming in newspapers about the birth of "the world's aviation power", reporters from various newspapers in China came here one after another, trying to capture some news.
Among these reporters, there are also a large number of intelligence personnel from other countries, who are trying to obtain information about Chinese aircraft. For European countries in the war, they urgently need various weapons to break the current deadlock. The Chinese Air Force is targeting aircraft
The use of the aircraft has allowed the aircraft to show its amazing side. It can attack land at depth and sink warships. Both the Allies and the Allies are in urgent need of this new weapon.
However, before that, they hoped to obtain intelligence information about the aircraft. However, after arriving in Lianyungang, both intelligence personnel and journalists were disappointed to find that their actions were restricted a few kilometers away from the airport.
, a large number of armed military police not only blocked the road leading to the airport, but also used simple watchtowers to block the fields. Anyone who attempted to enter the blocked area from the fields would be shot without warning, and their explanation
It's very simple, this is war time, and they must ensure the safety of the airport.
Planes that are rarely seen by the outside world are often seen by the people near Shahe Airport. From the fields, they can see the planes parked one after another on both sides of the runway, just like in the past.
, the airport is still busy. Hundreds of children are standing beside the airport, and they are all looking at the blue-gray planes with the curious and innocent eyes of children.
For these children, their curiosity is not caused by the battleships sunk by planes. Their curiosity is just children's curiosity and yearning for the sky.
"Look, what are they hanging on the plane?"
"That's hanging a bomb!"
"No, it's different. Yesterday's bomb was black and today's bomb is silver..."
"Well, it's like a big wine bottle made of tin!"
I saw those pushing carts pushing big silver-white bottle-like objects hanging under the wings or bellies of those planes. The teenagers were arguing there. This kind of bomb was somewhat different from the bombs they had seen before.
When they saw the bombs, they were all black. They were painted with cheap quick-drying paint, but this bomb was silver-white.
The war room partitioned by wooden boards was packed with people. The pilots were standing in formation in the war room, looking at the blackboard in the war room and the captain standing next to them with excitement.
"In short, just like in the past, everything that moves within the marked range along the coastline is our target! We are all veterans. In short, just drop bombs and shoot as we did in training."
Zhu Houbin said casually to the pilots standing in front of him. At this time, his tone seemed to be announcing a general training subject as casually and indifferently. In fact, he did not need to care at all. In the air, they
What they have is an overwhelming advantage. This advantage allows them to easily carry out a simple... massacre!
The huge results and negligible losses, coupled with the enemy's inability to fight back, have already made these pilots full of confidence. They do not need explanations from their superiors at all, and they will not feel a trace of panic or fear.
In their eyes, this is just the beginning of a new day, and today, they will continue to kill the Japanese who are unable to fight back on the ground as they did yesterday.
"When you want to drop a bomb, you must master the bombing essentials and be sure to drop the bomb accurately. In addition, due to technical reasons, the SD2 bomb has been discontinued. Today we are using a new type of bomb. This bomb is the same as the multi-type bombs we used before.
There is a significant difference, so in order to improve bombing accuracy, the bomb delivery height can be appropriately reduced."
The needs on the battlefield, the military needs, are the needs of production. It is the needs on the battlefield that allow multiple types of bombs to enter the air force in just a few days, so that the air force does not even have time to adjust them.
Aimers and corresponding training can only be put into the battlefield in a hurry. In order to improve bombing accuracy, the simplest way is to lower the altitude and use simple sights to carry out low-altitude bombing.
Naturally, these pilots who have changed from "rookies" to "veterans" are no strangers to this. However, the discontinuation of the SD2 cluster bomb still made them breathe a sigh of relief. That thing is too dangerous. In fact,
The three aircraft currently lost by the Air Force were all caused by this powerful but unreliable bomb.
Seeing the sighs of relief from his subordinates, Zhu Binhou pretended not to notice, and then continued his lecture calmly; at the same time, he gestured with his hands how the formation would fly, and after gesturing the angles and timing of each team's entry into the battlefield.
After that, he looked around with relatively sharp eyes at the pretty ladies of Lan Tian sitting on the chairs in front of him.
"How is it? Do you have confidence?"
"have!"
The pilots immediately responded loudly and excitedly, do they need to be mobilized? No!
"Now, according to the original order - set off!"
The pilots who had been impatient for a long time immediately rushed out of the war room like a gust of wind after hearing the order, and each rushed to their beloved fighter planes. The ground crew, who had already been prepared for the attack, rushed out when they saw the pilots.
Come over and immediately set up the aircraft's ladder; after the ground crew in the cockpit jammed the throttle, they jumped onto the wing.
However, most of the pilots did not use the stairs to get on the plane. Instead, they used the momentum of running to jump directly onto the wing, and then jumped into the cockpit. In the high-intensity sorties in the past few days, they had long learned how to
Save time in preparation for attack.
Minutes later, a series of planes were lined up on the runway, ready to take off.
"take off!"
As the flight control tower issued the order to take off, two green flares were shot into the air, and the signal soldiers continued to draw circles with their flags. The fighter jets, which had been neatly arranged on the runway, began to take off one after another.
The engine rumbled; the plane began to glide slowly, and when the plane carrying the bomb suddenly took off, the next plane followed closely and flew into the sky. When one plane after another took off from the airport, it
As they rushed towards the sky with the roar, they watched the formation of fighter jets in the northern sky getting bigger and bigger, while the teenagers around the airport kept shouting into the air.
"Kill all the Japanese devils!"
"Kill them..."
Amidst the shouts of the teenagers, the air force that completed the air formation quickly flew towards the north.
"China plane!"
As soon as the lookout soldiers in the front trenches noticed the black spots appearing in the sky, they immediately sounded the alarm. For a moment, bugles and whistles suddenly enveloped the sky above the battlefield.
The Japanese officers and soldiers in the trenches immediately hid in the trenches, trying to keep their bodies close to the trenches to avoid damage caused by bombing, while more people hid in shelters; as a modern army
, perhaps they have not yet mastered how to shoot down aircraft in the air, but they have learned how to protect themselves on the battlefield and avoid being bombed from the air. In fact, compared to bombing from the air, what they are more afraid of is more accurate.
All day long yesterday, Chinese artillery used hydrogen balloons to fire bombardments. The damage caused by the bombardment was even greater than that of aerial bombardment.
"The effect of the air strike is still a bit poor!"
In the forward observation post, Wu Peifu used his binoculars to look at the empty Japanese trenches. Who said the Japanese didn't know how to defend themselves? They built the trenches in a very orderly manner, and their response was quick.
Yesterday, they didn't know how to avoid air strikes, but today they have learned how to protect themselves in air strikes. In fact, it is no different from avoiding artillery bombardments. The biggest feature of air strikes is to pick out nests for bombing, but if the enemies on the ground hide,
The plane will lose its target.
The biggest shortcoming of the air raid was that it was too sudden. From the time the plane was discovered to the time the bomb was dropped, the Japanese army had at least a few minutes of warning time. If it was an artillery strike, they only had a few seconds.
"It came suddenly with a cannon!"
While Wu Peifu was muttering in his heart, he saw that the planes had already begun to dive. They did not drop bombs in the first circle, obviously they did not find the target.
"Hey, the laying hen is in trouble today!"
"No, you can't see the shadow, and you're still making a fool of yourself!"
Just as the CSKA officers and soldiers in the trenches were whispering to each other in disappointment, they saw one of the planes swooping down again unwillingly. When it was still tens of meters away from the ground, a silver-white bomb was dropped under the belly of the plane.
It was dropped. If someone in the Japanese trenches looked up into the air, they could clearly see the suddenly dropped bomb body rolling in the air and "flying" towards the trenches.
"Tum..."
Suddenly there was a tiny explosion, and a huge flame rose up from the Japanese trenches. The flames billowed up into a ball of black smoke and rolled along the trenches, stretching for a full hundred meters. The fiery red billowing black smoke.
The flames rolled like fire in the trench.
A few hundred meters away, the originally disappointed CSKA officers and soldiers were stunned by the fire dragon in front of them. They had witnessed the bombing of the aviation team more than once, but they had never seen such a scene.
Just as the fire dragon rose in the trench, a miserable scream came from the trench; although the long flame snake stretched for hundreds of meters, it dispersed with a burst of thick black smoke, and
Just as the black smoke was about to dissipate, the officers and soldiers of the Central Army in the opposite trench were surprised to see something twisting and struggling in the black smoke.
"ah……"
Heartbreaking screams came from the trenches, and then hundreds of fireballs struggled to get out of the trenches. Those fireballs were twisting in the trenches, and they were people!
When the firemen who were screaming heart-wrenchingly struggled in the trenches, fireballs of different sizes were thrown out from their bodies as they struggled. Through the telescope, Wu Peifu was surprised to see some attempts to
When the Japanese soldiers who were putting out the fire and rescuing people were hit by the fire block, they slapped the fire block on their bodies, but it caused a larger fire ball. First, the hands that slapped the fire block burned, and the flames quickly spread across their bodies.
Come on.
At the same time, the planes in the sky immediately swooped down after one attempt, dropping silvery-white bombs one after another over the trenches. For a time, the front line of the Japanese army was almost completely enveloped in a sea of scorching fire; the sea of fire came so quickly
It went away quickly. When the sea of fire dispersed, hundreds of thousands of fireballs were still struggling in or in the trenches. Although the firemen's heart-rending screams were heard by the officers and soldiers of the CSKA,
But they were still so frightened by the scene in front of them that their scalps were numb and their whole bodies were shaking.
At this time, there were continuous firemen and soldiers without fire escaping from the trenches. The firemen were struggling aimlessly. They kept screaming in pain, and their limbs struggled and twisted with the burning bodies.
To be continued...
