667 Sky Death God 1
"What about the Prussian airships? These things are a bit annoying." Baron Schmidt asked.
"Let's take a look first. Anyway, we are not in a hurry to attack now. My plan is to bomb for three days first and see the results." The exercise period is one week, so don't rush, and slowly explode. Prince Ruprecht, who was the champion of the Air Force's victory theory before crossing the journey, had high expectations for the Air Force.
"By the way, how are the flight routes arranged?" the prince asked.
"The reconnaissance opportunity without weapons passes about 3 kilometers near the viewing platform, and the bomber group carrying bombs passes from 6 kilometers away. But don't worry, the color of the bomber is eye-catching enough, and it is flying in formation, so the viewing ability is definitely good." Harrel said while patting his chest.
"That's good." The prince nodded and said.
"The exercise has been about an hour since then, and there is no sign of action on both sides. The Prussian Legion began to raise observation balloons and the airship began to enter the field. There seemed to be no movement in Bavaria. However, just half an hour ago, there was a roar like thunder at the airport in Bavaria." Prince Albert was responsible for introducing the situation to all the senior officials of the Allies who were watching the game.
In fact, the prince's face-display for the Air Force was not successful. The three thousand meters were still far away for a single-engine two-seater reconnaissance aircraft. Only a small number of people saw it. Moreover, because the flight was relatively low and the background was not very good, except for a very small number of people, the small plane quickly disappeared in the woods in the hilly areas. Then, this historical moment did not even have a photo...
"The fifth area is suspected to be a heavy howitzer company, and the seventh area is confirmed to be long-range artillery. Their convoy is too large. Areas 3 and 2 should be the other party's material storage points, and two artillery units are moving along Highway 3..." The reconnaissance aircraft code-named Hawkeye 1 dutifully reported everything to the command center in the rear through telegram. Soon, Colonel Harrell completed the formulation of the attack plan.
"First kill the long-range artillery in District 7. Their threat is too great. Then there are heavy howitzers in District 5. A small team will be assigned to attack the supplies in District 2. Then when you come back, you can shoot the target that is entering Highway 3. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be over at 11 a.m. Then there will be reconnaissance aircraft responsible for counting the results." Colonel Harrell said.
"That's it. Are our temporary aircraft reserves ready?" asked Ruprecht.
"No problem. We've leveled out a piece of land, with additional gasoline reserves and simple maintenance equipment," Harrell said.
"Then start! Remember, we set a world record today!" Ruprecht said with a smile. "Blackhawks, let's attack!"
It was the first time that the Bavarian Air Force took off such a large-scale aircraft group at an airport under the conditions of actual combat. 36 K-1 Black Hawk bombers took off on the runway according to their numbers. With the roar of the engine, the propellers began to rotate rapidly. The aircraft began to accelerate slowly, and the simulated bombs hanging on the belly and wings were like the sharp claws of war eagles. Under the sunlight, bombs were shining with cold light.
Most of all bombs are gray, and some bombs have a circle of white lines near the warheads, which means that this bomb is an ordinary high-explosive bomb. A loading coefficient of up to 65% means that the charge amount of a 100kg bomb is approximately equal to more than 6 150mm heavy grenades! But this is just the most general bomb.
The anti-infantry bomb's bullet bodies are specially treated and a yellow line is used to distinguish them in the front section of the bullet body to ensure that as many fragments can be generated when the bomb explodes. At the same time, there are also a large number of steel balls inside, and the delay fuse after the bomb is thrown will be activated. This kind of bomb has strict requirements on the throwing height and aircraft speed, but its effect is also very obvious.
"The bomb will explode at a height of about 10 to 15 meters from the ground, and then form a conical death zone with a top angle of 120 degrees. The shrapnel will cover the ground with a diameter of about 60 meters, and all soft targets will be torn into pieces by thousands of shrapnel, like the scythe of the god of death, sweeping all life in the range!" Baron Schmidt once described this terrifying weapon after seeing this bomb with only 50kg air explosion.
However, the most terrifying weapon is the napalm bomb. This type of bomb marked with red is actually the cheapest, with gasoline plus stabilizer and curing agent. This constitutes the most lethal weapon of this era. This bomb, which is even nicknamed gasoline barrels, can burn thousands of square meters in just one shot. Moreover, this kind of bomb has great damage to trenches and bunkers. Splashing oil drops can easily burn soldiers in the trenches and are difficult to extinguish.
In addition to these four types of bombs, the Bavarian Air Force also equipped a special mother-child bomb. This bomb is marked with a blue sign ring and is filled with a small mine weighing only 100 grams. This mine is made into a stone-like shape. After being thrown, an irregular minefield will be formed to block the road or hinder the rescue of equipment by the opponent's personnel.
In addition to these various bombs, the K-1 Black Hawk bomber equipped with a large number of machine guns also constitutes a huge lethal force on the ground of this era. Whether it is soldiers, carriages, simple bunkers or supplies, they are very fragile under the attack of 12.7mm large-caliber machine guns and various special-seed bullets. Imagine a small team of 12 aircraft equipped with dozens of machine guns to shoot the ground like scraping the ground. The dense rain of bullets from the sky can instantly cause the fighting will of the troops on the ground to collapse!
"There is no new beginning," said the German Emperor unfairly. The artillery group of the Prussian Legion in the distance had already begun to think about opening fire in the target area, but the obvious sparse sound of artillery tells people that it was just a tentative attack. In order to ensure the concealment and suddenness of the attack of the front-line artillery group, Xiao Moltke only ordered long-range artillery to open fire. These heavy artillery with a range of 18 kilometers were the rulers of the battlefield in this era, and they never had to worry about being counter-attacked until a shadow pounced on them!
"Look at what is that?" Duke Albour Hit heard a slightly harsh buzzing sound from the air. He subconsciously raised his head and looked at it. A group of black spots appeared in the distance. It expanded rapidly as time went by.
The Bavarian Air Force finally began to move from behind the scenes to the front, and their first appearance shocked everyone! From then on, the name of the Black Death resounded throughout the world!
