Chapter 1333 Bloody Fire and Blue Sky 3
Small bombs fell from the sky like raindrops. The German bomber pilots watched in surprise as these bombs passed through the formation, and then a series of explosions came from the fleet! The explosions produced fire and smoke that spread among the fleet.
As it came forward, countless shrapnel, driven by high-energy explosives, tore apart the aluminum skin of the aircraft, shattered the frame of the aircraft, penetrated the glass and beat the pilot behind to a bloody pulp! Huge bombers were here one after another.
In this kind of blow, which can be called a fairy tale, the bomb caught fire and then fell to the ground! Some unlucky bombers were affected by the explosion of several bombs at the same time. The entire aircraft was instantly torn into pieces by the violent energy. Aviation fuel and internal bombs were destroyed
After detonating, with a loud noise, a huge mushroom cloud rose in the formation. The violent energy even affected surrounding friendly aircraft. The affected bombers were forced to disband with bullet holes all over their bodies.
!
"How are China's bombs set? Can they explode so accurately?!" Greem, who was at the back, looked at the bombers falling from time to time in front of him in shock. The Germans also have such things, but they use time bombs to control the detonation time.
The air flow is unpredictable, and the set detonation time is often inaccurate. Although it is impossible to calculate the efficiency of China's bombs this time, the efficiency of this attack is obviously much higher than that of the Germans! It took 3 minutes from the time the bombs began to fall.
In that time, Greem saw at least 5 bombers destroyed. The entire upper box formation was also blown to pieces in the waves of explosions. No matter how tough the pilot's nerves were, he could not remain shocked in the face of such an attack.
, on the front are heavily equipped interceptor planes like heavily armored knights, which also dropped such bombs with extremely accurate explosion points! Under attack from two directions, the formation of the German bomber force has already been formed
Signs of collapse.
"The test at the experimental field is really unreliable!" Just when Grimm was shocked by the power of China's "air-to-air bomb", the Chinese Air Force did not have a high evaluation of this bomb. According to the technical staff
It is said that in simulation tests, this kind of bomb can destroy a formation at once. However, this is not the case from the actual combat effect. Although it can achieve some results and disrupt the opponent's formation, it is promised to destroy a box formation.
What? The reason
It is not a problem with the new radio proximity fuses, but because the shrapnel and energy generated by the explosion after these bombs are dropped also affect the bombs dropped behind. The unlucky ones are directly destroyed by the shrapnel or shock wave or blown elsewhere, just luck.
The better thing is that the parachute at the tail of the bomb was broken. Then the bomb fell like a stone! So the result is that the first wave of bombs dropped are effective, but the subsequent ones are much worse!
Just when the self-defense firepower of the German bombers could not guarantee their own safety, the arrival of a large number of German escort aircraft changed the entire battle situation again. Facing China's desperate attack, the German Air Force decisively committed all its fighter jets. Both sides focused on the German strategic bombers.
The troops launched a life-and-death battle. The fierce scene of the entire battle is difficult to describe in words. There were at least 35 fighter jets on both sides.
About 0 aircraft! Both sides were like red-eye gamblers, putting squadrons of aircraft into the battlefield one after another! The pilots of both sides didn't even have time to make any tactical maneuvers, and they faced off against opponents who also had red-eyes. Usually, this rarely happens in air battles.
Head-on shooting situations abound in this battle! The Chinese heavy interceptors rushed towards the German bombers desperately, while the German fighter jets intercepted them without fear of death.
"The tactics I usually learned in classes and training seemed to be useless all of a sudden. I didn't like this kind of head-on hand-to-hand combat. It prevented me from using my skills and the flexibility of the aircraft. I was surrounded by densely packed aircraft.
There were enemies, and there were ours. All I could do at that time was point the nose of the plane at the nearest enemy plane and pull the trigger!" A German fighter squadron leader commented on the battle situation at that time.
Almost every minute, a fighter jet is broken into pieces by bullets fired from several directions. There are even unlucky fighter jets that are shot down by highly nervous friendly forces. Or they are hit by parts that fell from an unknown aircraft.
.The white trail formed by the exhaust gas from the aircraft engine and the red fire snake intertwined in the sky. This battle is not a test of the driver's skill but a matter of luck.
In this battle that can be called an aerial Verdun, the commanders and fighters on both sides preferred to die rather than retreat. In the constant collision between the two huge fleets, nearly a hundred fighter jets from both sides were destroyed in less than half an hour!
A month's production capacity of an aircraft manufacturer was wasted in this way.
Flow! The debris in the sky, the smoke that has not dispersed, and the occasional parachute tell the bloody story of this war, but it is not over yet. This is just the first act of a stage play called war! As the
A massive drop in the number of aircraft on both sides. The entire battlefield
It was finally a little empty. The aircraft fleets on both sides had been scattered, and each squadron leader hoped to regroup and deploy. At least a few 4-machine formations must be formed, otherwise it would be too difficult to fight with enemy aircraft above, below, left, and right.
It's dangerous. And taking advantage of this opportunity, Germany
The strategic bomber force has finally arrived over the target area! The ground bombing is about to begin! The huge formation spreads out like a carpet, and the bombers fly towards the target in a single-layer formation, and the huge magazine has been opened
, the bombardier began to look for the target.
Boom, boom, boom!! Suddenly a series of loud noises came from below. On the only way for the German bombers to enter the target area, slender anti-aircraft guns were raised, and a long string of them were highlighted under the guidance of the radar.
Fireballs and artillery shells with a muzzle velocity of more than 800 meters per second roared towards the bomber group, and dense explosions instantly appeared in the group. After the first few rounds of test firings, the opponent's attack gradually became more accurate.
Radar waves kept hitting the German bombers, and then the data was processed through the fire control room, and then transmitted to various artillery positions through wires. A company or even several companies of anti-aircraft guns fired intensively at a certain area, loading bombs.
With the help of the bombers, the firing rate of each gun position gradually reached the set rapidity. Orange fireballs formed a barrage and stopped in front of the bombers, and moved with the movement of the fleet!
In this operation, the German Air Force was originally equipped with a special ju88g electronic warfare aircraft to provide electronic suppression, but in the melee just now, the two sides fought together. Except for the strategic bomber force, they could barely maintain their formation.
.I don’t know where the remaining support aircraft are going.
Those who are lucky will hide in one place with scars all over their bodies and linger. If they are unlucky, they may have been torn into pieces by the opponent. So when the bomber force launched the bombing, the remaining electronic warfare aircraft of the Germans
It is impossible to suppress the numerous fire control radars on the ground.
A ball of flame suddenly burst out from the fuselage of a He177 bomber that was flying at a constant speed. A shell hit the direct position between the magazine and the cockpit. The nearly 10kg high-explosive warhead instantly hit the aircraft like a sharp blade.
The bomber was broken into two pieces. Then there was an explosion, and the flames spread to the whole body along the internal lines and oil passages of the aircraft body. Ten seconds later
It turned into a ball of fire. Under the guidance of radar, the artillery's air-to-air efficiency increased exponentially. Any bomber that wanted to penetrate this fire net had to pay a certain price. Under the intensive anti-aircraft firepower,
Even the Chinese fighter jets did not dare to continue to intercept. The whole sky boiled again, and the dense barrage became the last obstacle before the German bomber force bombed.
The Germans braved the last hurdle, and a huge base group appeared in front of the Germans. This is the most important aviation base in China that connects the front-line airport and the rear airport. There are not only several radiological divisions deployed here, but
Important artillery shells, the runway is surrounded by aprons, many of which are reinforced with reinforced concrete
Anti-bomber fort. Then there are oil depots, radar stations, control towers, and even repair shops and parts warehouses. Here, an aircraft can complete engine overhaul and replacement of large body parts. It is the most complete among the entire Chinese Air Force Base in Iran.
One of several bases! So this is also a thorn in the flesh that the Germans must get rid of!
"Let's start!" With Grimm's order, the anger that the German strategic bomber force had been holding back was finally released with the bombs falling from the pylons. The order to drop the bombs spread through the radio waves throughout the fleet. The leader
The bombers first flew over the airport,
Throw down the mixed high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs, and each bomb will draw a curve on the huge airport like a huge paintbrush, including most of the important units in the airport. This curve
The enclosed area will become the target of subsequent bombing!
The huge shadow of the He177 bomber fuselage was finally cast on the airport. With the arrival of the shadow of death, there was a sickle of bombs. Because of the short distance, the German strategic bombers carried more bombs. The average was 4.5 tons.
The above! If converted into a 250kg bomb, that is 18 rounds
!More than a hundred aircraft in the entire German bomber formation successfully reached the target area. If calculated, all the ammunition combined will throw more than 600 tons of 250kg bombs with more than 2,000 rounds to the ground! If we talk about the bombing density,
If so, it would set a record in the history of German strategic bombers!
"Sure enough, no grass grows where the strategic bombing passes!" Looking at the strings of bombs falling from the sky, Grim once again felt the terrifying combat effectiveness of the strategic air force! A series of high-explosive bombs fell like seeds sown by a seeder.
On the ground, continuous explosions caused
The ground turned into a pot of boiling water. The powerful shock wave generated by the explosion tore up everything it encountered. Circular air waves carried shrapnel and fragments left by various unknown objects and spread in all directions. Viewed from the air
Go, it seems that a car has also been lifted up!
With the movement of strategic bombers, all non-reinforced targets in the airport were quickly engulfed by flames and explosions. The towers, hangars and maintenance shops that were intact a few minutes ago were reduced to ruins within a few minutes.
A few lonely stands stood there. The Strategic Air Force once again demonstrated their powerful power, turning everything they could see into a piece of scorched earth like a destructive force.
After the first round of medium-altitude horizontal bombing, the second round of low-altitude horizontal bombing began immediately. Inspired by the Chinese Strategic Air Force's attack on Schrager's troops, the Germans also began to study the tactics of low-altitude shallow dive bombing. This tactic mainly targeted
The targets are those solid targets, and these solid and valuable units are destroyed by dropping heavy bombs, such as underground oil depots, reinforced machine castles, etc.
It has to be said that the body structure of the German He177 bomber is still very strong. Although it is not required to dive bomb at 65 degrees as historically, it can still be achieved with a shallow dive of 30 degrees, and the maneuverability at medium and low altitudes is also great. It is huge.
The bomber flew to the ground like an eagle pouncing on food! And the sharp claws of this eagle were the SC1000 heavy-duty reinforced concrete armor-piercing bombs placed in the magazine!
As the bomb fell off the pylon, the huge He177 bomber also moved upward slightly. Under the influence of gravity, the bomb became faster and faster as the height decreased. The continuously accumulated kinetic energy gave this bomb extraordinary power.
The penetrating ability, boom! With a violent impact, the heavy armor-piercing projectile
The blunt warhead hit the reinforced concrete cover of the upper part of the underground oil depot hard! Then the entire projectile sank into it. Although it failed to penetrate the entire protective cover in the end, the violent explosion still opened a large hole in the upper part of the bunker. Then
, under the successive bombings, the entire oil depot was ultimately unable to bear such attacks.
Along with the bursts of violent explosions, the entire hangar collapsed, and the fuel inside that had not been transported away was swallowed up by the fire. The German bombing was very thorough, at least the targets marked in the early reconnaissance were eventually destroyed.
Destroyed by various bombs, it is no exaggeration to say that even if China tried its best to repair
, this airport will not be used before the end of the war. In this sense, the strategic goal of this wave of German attacks has been achieved! The attendance rate of the Chinese Air Force will be restricted as a result, and the originally integrated ground support system will be
This important target in the middle was destroyed and was forced to be divided into two parts: east and west!
"Is it finally over?" Looking at the airport that had turned into a sea of flames on the ground, Greem finally breathed a sigh of relief. All the strategic bombers began to climb and reorganized into a box formation. After completing the formation, they circled a circle northeast of the airport.
Circle and return home. The fuel consumption is nearly half. The speed of the bomber group after throwing away all the bombs will increase. This means that the time they stay in the enemy's airspace will be shorter. In other words, the bombers will be attacked.
There will be fewer attacks.
