Latest website: Those who are good at attacking move above the Nine Heavens, and those who are good at defending are hiding under the Nine Earths.
In fact, this sentence in Sun Tzu's Art of War points out the future development direction of war. Let's not talk about how Sun Wu discerned the secrets of heaven thousands of years ago. But since the emergence of airships, people have discovered that the situation of war is fundamentally different.
been changed.
War has become scary, even terrifying, because of the emergence of airships. In the past, there was a distinction between the front and the rear in wars, but the emergence of airships has changed everything. In the new war mode, there is no distinction between the front and the rear, or even no more.
The difference between soldiers and civilians. War shows its most brutal and naked side - death and terror!
However, although people can imagine how the emergence of airships will change warfare, and even imagine the impact they will have on urban bombing, imagination is still imagination...
At least until this day, no one knew what the consequences of the bombing would be.
After taking off from Cuba, in the next dozen hours, nearly two hundred airships kept flying at an altitude of 6,000 meters. Although it was daytime, no one would notice them in the vast sea.
Since there were occasional merchant ships flying under the huge airship formation, they did not notice their existence.
After all, the formation was flying at such a high altitude that even the sound of the engines was obscured by the sound of waves on the sea.
From early morning to noon, from noon to evening.
As the sun sets and the sea and sky are dyed red by the setting sun, the airship formation begins to adjust its course in the ocean east of New York. In more than two hours, they will arrive over New York.
When the coastline came into view, Cheng Kunpeng asked loudly.
"Navigator, calculate bearing!"
Soon the navigator used the longitude and sextant to calculate the direction of the airship, and then shouted loudly.
"We are still 100 kilometers away from New York, which is to the southwest of us!"
"very good!"
Cheng Kunpeng shouted.
"Bombardier, pay attention to the landmarks!"
Although dusk has fallen at this time, bombardier Sun Hao is still searching for landmarks carefully. What does New York look like at this time?
It's all brightly lit!
New York is a city that never sleeps!
As a prosperous metropolis, it is somewhat similar to Nanhua. Electric lights have long been spread to thousands of households, and the bright neon lights on the bustling commercial streets are shining with dazzling brilliance.
Red, green, and yellow lights all come together to make New York a bright pearl in the darkness.
You don't even need to search deliberately, you just need to look for the brightest light in the dark.
In the darkness, New York stands out.
Finally, the criss-crossing streets of New York appeared in Sun Hao's sight. He put his eyes on the bomb sight, slowly adjusted the parameters with his right hand, and half pressed the bomb release button with his left hand.
Staring at the city on the ground, for a moment, he even saw pedestrians and vehicles walking on the street. Of course, this was just an illusion.
The temperature at high altitude was very low. Although his fingers were almost frozen, Sun Hao still felt like he was twisting the knob a little bit. Feeling that his fingers were a little stiff, he moved a little bit, and then opened the red safety cover of the bomb release button.
.
At this moment, a special landmark came into view: the Statue of Liberty. In the dark night, the Statue of Liberty, lit by searchlights, was so eye-catching. This was the first calibration point!
After aligning the calibration point, soon the second calibration point, which was the bomb release position, appeared in his sight. When the target was pressed little by little into the middle of the crosshairs of the sight, Sun Hao began.
reciprocal.
Although the temperature was very low, sweat still flowed from his forehead and melted the white frost on his eyebrows.
"Enter target...3...2,1...drop bombs!"
The moment the voice fell, Zhiwei pressed the bomb release button hard!
"Chirp..."
When the bombs were whizzing down, the streets of New York were still very lively. The war may have affected the lives of many people, but in New York, the vast majority of people still drank and danced, even for
For many men, now is the time for them to hook up with women.
On this seemingly ordinary night, people on the ground were only belatedly aware of everything in the sky. Even when the bombs dropped by the bombers fell, the roar of bombs falling from the sky still echoed in many dance halls in New York.
To the cheerful music, men and women were still dancing and drinking wine unscrupulously.
The bombs dropped by the pilot airship were not light bombs. In fact, according to military calculations, when bombing cities, the damage caused by bombs weighing less than 100 kilograms to reinforced concrete structures is very limited. Therefore, the bombs dropped by the pilot airship were 500 kilograms.
The violent explosion of kilogram-level high-explosive aerial bombs and heavy-duty high-explosive aerial bombs can not only destroy buildings, but the smoke clouds raised when they explode can also serve as indicators of targets. The airship groups following them will use this
Instructions for dropping bombs in sequence.
The free-falling bomb roared towards the ground, tearing through the darkness at an extremely fast speed. It crashed onto a building next to the street, and instantly a huge shock wave mixed with countless steel fragments swept across the ground like a whirlwind.
, overturned a large number of passers-by on the street. In the violent explosion, the building collapsed. At the moment of collapse, not only the pedestrians on the road were buried alive, but also the people in the building. When the building fell,
, billowing smoke and dust filled the entire street. Before people could react, several more bombs fell on both sides of the street. The ground seemed to be shaking in the violent explosion.
How is this going?
In the violent explosion, people in New York did not react for a while. When they did, more bombs continued to fall from the sky.
"Chirp...chirp..."
Amidst the whistling sound of bombs, the violent explosions turned high-rise buildings into ruins. In the smoke and dust that covered the sky, people on the streets screamed in terror and ran wildly, but they didn't do anything at all.
Know where to go and run.
Only a very small number of people know how to run to an open area like Central Park. Of course, there are also some people who run to the subway station. Compared to other places, the subway station may be the best choice.
The people who were reveling there before were crying in terror. People were easily knocked to the ground by others while running. The woman who was pursued by the men a few minutes ago was ignored by the crowd.
When they were knocked down, the women cried and struggled to stand up, but were knocked down again by the running crowd. Then countless legs stepped directly on them, and their delicate bodies were stepped on continuously. Soon,
There was no movement.
You can see trampled people lying on the ground everywhere on the street. They are moaning in pain, struggling, crying, and begging for help. But at this time, no one will rescue them at all.
After all, around them, bombs continued to fall behind, and in the black and gray smoke clouds rising high, buildings collapsed in violent explosions...
