"Woo...Woo...Woo..." Continuous sirens echoed over the border cities of Shu. The people of Shu raised their heads and looked at the sky, and saw a fleet of slender planes flying over.
on top of their heads.
It's not that the air raid sirens were sounded too late, but that the civilians in Shu really didn't know what to do when the air raid sirens sounded.
In fact, not many modern people who lack wartime training know what they should do during an air raid siren?
Escape? Stop it. Except for places like the subway, there are really not many young people who know the nearest civil defense fortification around them.
Although many underground garages and subways in modern cities are converted from air defense facilities, they have eventually lost many of their original functions and can no longer serve as adequate shelters. In this world, the Shu Kingdom does not even have decent air defense facilities, let alone air defense facilities.
There are no underground garages or subway stations either.

Due to the technological influence of the Tang Empire, the speed of urban construction in almost all countries in the world is actually reversed, and they do not develop according to conventional development ideas.
Things like air raid shelter facilities, sewerage, water supply and drainage systems, electricity, etc. are all developed later.
In other words, everyone builds houses, factories, and railways first. Industry is developed first, and then conditions such as housing follow.
When the population increases, when factories develop, when there are railways, airports, and high-rise buildings, then we will study the so-called sewers, then we will think of ways to build larger power plants, and then we will think about the lack of supporting facilities.
Take Fengjiang City in the Dahua Empire as an example. Except for the core part of the city built by the Tang Empire engineering team, which has complete supporting facilities, the surrounding systems are actually incomplete.
The sewers need to be repaired every year, and the electrical system also needs to be replaced every year. Do you expect to find air-raid shelters in such a city? What a joke.
What's more, there is no decent air defense concept in this world. The people are afraid of the air force for only seven or eight years at most. What good habits can they have?
Therefore, when the air raid siren sounded, the people in Shu did not know what they were going to do. Some smart and wealthy people drove to the suburbs in their cars, while others returned home to be with their families.
around.
No one knew what happened, so more people were still standing in the streets and alleys, staring blankly at the enemy planes in the sky.
Above the sky, the Qin pilots on the bombing mission looked at the densely packed buildings under their feet through the special, greenhouse-like nose glass window, and they were also very nervous.
This was their first bombing mission to bomb a city, and it was also their first time preparing to drop bombs into such a seemingly huge city.
"Open the bomb bay!" the bombardier shouted in the noisy plane as he saw the roofs of the houses in the city through the original sight produced by the Tang Empire.
Along with his shouts and the humming sound of the engine, the DO-17 bomber's belly bomb bay slowly opened, and the bombs hanging upside down in the bomb bay saw the sunlight.
"I've taken aim! Start dropping the bomb!" The bombardier aimed the sight on the bomb's sight at the city at his feet, and then announced loudly.
Almost at the same time, he pressed his finger on the bomb launcher with a sudden force, and one bomb detached from its pylon and fell in the sky, followed closely by a second bomb of the same type, and then a third bomb.
The bomber's fuselage was shaking slightly, and as the air flow trembled little by little, one after another 50-kilogram bombs broke away from the restraints of the aircraft and fell towards the ground beneath their feet.
This bombing method was also trained by the Qin State after learning from the carpet bombing of the Tang Empire. Although their number of aircraft was far less than that of the Tang Empire, they did learn something similar.
Another bomber following this bomber was also dropping bombs, and the bomber further behind was still dropping bombs.
This is the charm of carpet bombing, and it also explains the power of carpet bombing: 40 DO-17 bombers dropped bombs together, and the destructive power was indeed astonishing.
It is true that the DO-17 bomber sold to Qin by the Tang Empire only carried a pitiful 1 ton of bombs, which was pitifully less than other bombers, but this bomb load has improved a lot compared to the previous biplane bombers.
Already.
Forty DO-17 bombers can carry 40 tons of bombs. When these bombs fell on the city, they immediately caused a bloody storm.
The first bomb hit the roof of the house directly, creating a huge hole in the roof. The delay fuse, which was born in the Tang Empire, ensured that the bomb would not explode immediately after penetrating the roof, but would wait until
A while ago.
This is done to ensure that the bomb can explode inside the building and exert maximum power when it explodes.
A few seconds later, the bomb that fell into the house suddenly exploded. The huge shock wave destroyed the walls around the building and also lifted off the roof of the house.
Immediately afterwards, the second bomb also exploded, setting off a cloud of black smoke directly on the street. The civilians of the Shu Kingdom who were watching the excitement were suddenly overturned by the shock wave. The people who were shot around were crying and howling, and the people standing around were stupid.
The people immediately became like birds and beasts and dispersed.
The third bomb exploded not far away, followed by the fourth and fifth. Seeing these bombs extending to another block, the people of Shu finally realized that a war seemed to have really broken out.
"Help! He's dead!" A woman couldn't help but screamed as she looked at the corpses lying scattered beside the crater not far away.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Frankly speaking, as a medium-range bomber that can only carry one bomb and has weak self-protection capabilities, the performance of the DO-17 bomber is actually not
How about it.
The bombs it drops are very small, and if they are large enough, they can carry only a small number, which severely limits its combat effectiveness.
However, when the people of Shu experienced modern bombing for the first time, they were indeed frightened.
It was the first time they saw an enemy from the sky, and it was also the first time they desperately discovered that the city they were in was so vulnerable to attack.
Originally, they thought that their city, which was more than 200 kilometers away from the border, was an absolutely safe place. Even if a war broke out, they would have no time to flee to the mainland.
Unfortunately, reality has slapped them in the face: even if they are more than 200 kilometers away from the border, enemy planes can still launch bombings on the same day and turn the city into ruins.
"Come here! Put out the fire!" Not far away, as the bomb exploded and the walls collapsed and the wooden houses burned, someone shouted in fear.
Because there are many wooden buildings, fire has always been the most feared disaster for civilians in Shu. Because once a fire breaks out, it is likely to spread to the entire neighborhood, causing huge losses to people.
In the sky, the Shu Kingdom purchased technology from the Tang Empire and assembled and produced the C200 fighter jet, which is called the 200 type fighter jet in the Shu Kingdom. It was circling.
Its main performance is about the same as that of the Hurricane fighter. It is indeed worse than the Butcher, but there is no huge generation difference.
Shu pilots flying more than a dozen such planes had already rushed to the battlefield. They saw that their country's city was being attacked, and a thick black smoke was rising inside the city.
"Lean over! Come over! Cut from the edge! Bite the opponent!" A commander of the Shu Air Force led by him issued an order through the walkie-talkie.
With a roar of engines, these Shu fighter jets began to cut into the battlefield, and one fighter jet instantly bit into a slender flying pencil that had just completed its bombing mission.
"Thud, thud, thud!" The Type 200 fighter jet is only equipped with two 12.7 mm caliber aviation machine guns. Its firepower is relatively weak, and it is actually quite difficult to attack bombers.
However, the defensive performance of the DO-17 bomber itself is very rubbish, and its thin skin and large stuffing are very fragile, so the two sides are equally matched on another level.
The Shu pilot bit the Qin bomber and opened fire at a very close distance against the tracer bullets fired from the enemy's aircraft's defensive machine guns, sweeping out a row of bullets.
"Go to hell!" In the small cockpit, the Shu pilot uttered a curse through his teeth. Along with his curse, the tracer bullets he fired pierced a row of holes in the opponent's fuselage.
A bullet hit the engine of the Flying Pencil DO-17 bomber, and then thick smoke overflowed from the engine hatch. The height of the hit Flying Pencil began to drop uncontrollably.
At this time, the other two Type 200 fighter jets also found their attack targets. They chased the flying pencil one after another, firing rows of tracer bullets until the flying pencil was emitting thick smoke.
until it starts to fall.
In the blink of an eye, two bombers were shot down, and the Qin Air Force's escort fighter force became anxious. They got involved in the battlefield and began to fight with the Shu enemy planes.
For a moment, the engines roared in the sky above the battlefield, and on the ground they watched the battle between their own country's planes and the enemy's planes. The people of Shu finally couldn't restrain their emotions and raised their arms and cheered loudly.
"Enemy plane! Enemy plane!" In the airspace of the melee, the Shu commander reminded his comrades while avoiding the Qin fighter planes that were chasing him: "Be careful of the enemy's escort fighter planes!"
"Sir, hold on! Hold on! I'm biting him! Circle! Circle!" In the earphones, the friendly voice sounded urgent and nervous.
"Pay attention to the altitude! Pay attention to the altitude! Be careful about fuel consumption! Stop fighting!" On the other side, Qin's fighter pilots were also nervously operating their planes. In the headphones, there were equally busy and excited shouts.
