Chapter 223 Hell on Earth
"Cuber, you have reached the target location and immediately access the radio signal of the contact personnel here."
The B17 bomber plate was spiraling over the South Sky Gate, and the pilot Anderson in the cab issued an order to the radio maintenance officer.
"I understand." Cooper immediately adjusted the signal to the corresponding channel: "Call, this is the bombing marshal of the 4th Air Squadron. Please answer when you receive it."
"Sizi..." The intercom sent a short short-wave noise: "…Roger that, I am McLuhan, the front-line liaison officer, please report your situation."
The young Coober pressed the intercom button again and said leisurely: "Hey, brother! The weather is good today. According to your requirements, there are 6 milk pounds on the plane. Please bomb the target for us."
"Milk Pound" is the joking name for napalm bombs, and it is also the nightmare of the Japanese on the Pacific battlefield.
"Zi...the target is located on the back slope of the mountain on the west bank. Do you see an extremely huge tree?"
Through the observation mirror, Anderson and others soon discovered the very conspicuous tree fort on the top of the mountain.
"Oh, my God! I saw it, it's such a giant." Cooper replied in surprise, obviously the size of the divine tree surprised him very much.
"Please avoid this big tree as much as possible and cover the backscene of the entire mountain. A large number of Japanese are attacking below." McLuhan's serious voice came again.
"I understand, the bombing will begin in 5 minutes."
After saying that, Anderson looked at the co-pilot: "Adjust the flight altitude and prepare for bombing!"
"Buzz..." The engine of B17 made a huge roar, and the entire flight formation flew over the top of the Nantian Gate. They began to adjust the altitude in the distance and turn, flying towards the target location.
"Wisker, be careful," Anderson said with a walkie-talkie.
"Receive!" Wisk, who was driving the P40 fighter, immediately replied: "Kevin, we'll stay on it."
"clear."
At the same time, the two dual-plane escort formations began to disperse. The group of Wisk and Kevin jumped into the sky around the clouds to alert the sky, while the other group maintained the same altitude and distance as B17, and continued to fly with the big guy.
"All right! Open the bomb dropping warehouse, girls, the time for the performance is up!" Anderson shouted excitedly.
The crew members inside the entire bomber were all in their place, and the bomb drop box was slowly opened. Cooper, who was also a bomb dropper, used the famous Norton bomber sight to perform ballistic calibration.
As the king of sights of the same era, this set of high-precision sights has a unique skill. It can automatically calculate two angles. One is based on the current aircraft altitude, airspeed and bomb drop angle under the bomb trajectory. The other is the current ground speed, the angle between the aircraft's heading downward direction and the target.
These two angle values are different. The sight controls the autopilot continuously adjusts the route until the angle of the bomb drop overlaps with the target, and the aircraft is just at the bomb drop point. At this time, the sight automatically drops the bomb and can accurately hit the target.
The senior US military even exaggeratedly said that their bombers can easily hit targets from an altitude of 9,000 meters, with an error of no more than 20 meters. This basically has no impact on some aviation bombs with a killing radius of more than 50 meters.
The Japanese had long noticed the giant in the sky, but their two 20mm anti-aircraft cannons had no choice but to the B17 hovering thousands of meters above the altitude. The Japanese army lacking air defense power was destined to be passively beaten.
12:15 pm...
The B17 air fortress flew over the reverse slope of the Nantianmen, but the Japanese army still attacking did not know that a disaster had come to their heads.
"Milk Pounds" were thrown from the belly of the B17, and a single napalm bomb weighing 300 kilograms hit the ground at an extremely fast speed.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
...
Although this fortress in the air only carries 6 "milk pounds". The amazing power is unparalleled, and the bursting flames swept towards the earth like six long snakes!
"ah!"
"Suiya!"
"Help! Ahhhh!"
...
Countless Japanese soldiers exposed were lit into fire people. They twisted their bodies frantically and kept making miserable howls.
The companions who were not attacked nearby wanted to go up to rescue them, but it was impossible to take them off when the burning oil fell on people, and their adhesion was unimaginable.
If you have to pat it with your hands, the fire on your body will not only not go out, but will become bigger and bigger. This is definitely a very tormenting process.
People who spray napalm bombs first have to endure their skin being burned in an extremely painful process before they die. They are very awake before they die.
Now the entire backscene has fallen into a sea of fire, hundreds of Japanese soldiers were instantly burned to an end, and this place has become a hell on earth!
The Japanese soldiers at the center of the explosion were lucky. At least they went to see Amaterasu without much pain. Only those Japanese who were splashed with oil could understand what life was worse than death, including the team wearing chemical defense suits to attack the Tree Fort.
These Japanese soldiers who were struggling even threw the oil onto others, causing more casualties. Those who were stained with the flames could only wait for the flames to go out unless they cut off the burning area.
This kind of pain and torture that is deeply rooted in the bone is hard to describe in words, and only the parties involved can feel the horror.
There are also large areas of woods and shrubs on the back slope, which are even better ignition-enhancing materials. The entire hillside is like a forest fire, with thick smoke rushing into the sky.
Screams and curses are not determined by the ears. The Japanese can only wash away all their sins in this scorching flame.
The entire Fifth Brigade was basically completely lost, and even the captain had no bones in the explosion of the gasoline bomb. Even the two positions located on the backside of the mountain were affected to a certain extent.
...
"Good job! Hey ha!" Anderson on the plane let out a scream like a western cowboy, and his hand was whipping.
"Haha! I really want to see how these East Asian monkeys dance in the flames."
Looking at his masterpiece, all the crew cheered excitedly, and there was nothing happier for them than a perfect bomb drop.
Just as the B17 bombing began, the Sichuan Army and all the artillery of the Yu Division opened fire on the front line of the Japanese army!
"wo! Look at this, is the artillery power of our friendly forces so strong?"
Through the observation mirror, Cooper saw that the Japanese position below had turned into an ocean of artillery shells. Countless bounce points covered half of the South Gate, as if even the earth was trembling.
The power of dozens of various artillery fires can be imagined, and the explosion sounded trembling. The dense shells fell on the Japanese army's second and third defense lines like raindrops, blasting the land into honeycomb coal.
There was no Japanese on the position anymore. No one would hide in the trenches and hold on to the terrible shells. It was because he thought he was too long. Takeuchi issued an order early, and everyone entered the underground passage to avoid the attack of shells.
Although on the surface, the Japanese army has been completely suppressed and have lost all their advantages. But they are like the hateful mountain rats, hiding in these rat caves safely. Even such a terrifying shelling cannot completely eliminate them.
So what if the Chinese cannons were so good? Takeuchi knew very well that as long as he could shrink, he could withstand limited casualties.
No matter what, the war has to continue. We are holding our strength to each other and we must seize every opportunity to tear each other apart.
Chen Jize used this shelling to quickly lead the team to approach Banshanshi. The Sichuan Army cleared the various castles and corridors in front, while Zhang Lixian led the Yu army to quickly establish a line of defense and build a position.
There are still many Japanese scouts in Banshan Stone, and these crazy guys have also caused some losses to the Sichuan-Yu coalition forces.
They hid in gasoline barrels buried half in the soil, and suddenly shot at the soldiers rushing over, or were carrying out suicide attacks with open-loop grenades in their hands.
The best way to deal with these lunatics is to cover firepower, just like the Americans on the Pacific battlefield. No matter whether you are one or a group of people hiding in the corner, first use a machine gun and submachine gun to shoot randomly, and then add a rocket.
The Japanese scouts only blocked them for a moment. In the face of Chen Jize and his strong firepower, any tricks and defenses were useless.
The shelling was almost over, and the Sichuan-Yu coalition forces occupied the half-mountain stone as fast as possible and were cleaning the exposed tunnels. The flamethrower was the best cleaner.
