Chapter 1405 The Flying Devil (Second update, please subscribe)
April 26, Everett.
The sea fog blowing from Puget Sound has lingered for a long time, and the villages flattened by artillery fire are faintly visible in the fog. The broken and charred trees outside the town stand like isolated wooden piles.
, the trenches full of bomb craters were filled with thick white fog, no human figures could be seen and no human voices could be heard, but from time to time, a few seabirds screamed from the distance.
Captain Li Gangqiang, commander of the third company of the 1st Battalion of the 53rd Regiment of the 13th Imperial Army, wrote in pencil in his diary:
"In the morning and fog, the battlefield is like a ghost land, with hair and bones rustling..."
After simply writing a few words, he once again looked ahead through the periscope - the sea fog gradually dissipated in the rising sun.
The scene before us was like a ghost land, with dense craters everywhere as far as the eye could see, and corpses could be seen between the craters.
In the distance is a looming fortress. Although the fortress is full of bullet marks, it still stands in the fog. This fortress is the first obstacle for the imperial army to pass towards Olympic, the capital of Washington state.
There are rolling mountains and dense forests on one side, and the sea on the other. The existence of the fortress not only blocks the steps of the infantry, but also blocks the steps of the navy.
"Bombardment!"
Suddenly, a soul-shaking roar came from the air, and the soldiers' shouts rang out from the trenches.
In the blink of an eye, the trenches of the Imperial Army were enveloped in clouds of smoke mixed with flames, gunpowder smoke, and mud. The choking smell of gunpowder smoke even made people feel suffocated.
A new day, a new battle begins under the U.S. military's shelling!
Under the fierce bombardment of the U.S. heavy artillery, the imperial army's troops and weapons deployed in the field trenches suffered considerable losses. To avoid the artillery fire, officers and soldiers retreated into anti-gun caves, but the anti-gun caves could not stop the bombardment of heavy coastal mortars.
When a ten-inch mortar shell is fired, the shell will not only penetrate the soil and enter the shell-proof hole, but the violent explosion will turn the gun-proof hole into a huge crater.
Under the fierce artillery fire, the soldiers could only endure the tremors of the earth and the deafening explosions. They also had to endure the death caused by heavy artillery.
Staring at the position caught in the artillery fire, Xu Yangzhi, the commander of the 53rd Regiment on the high ground behind, frowned, with a worried expression on his face.
"Fortress, fortress, the most important thing is the fortress. If we cannot break the fortress, our army's offensive will be affected. Once the offensive slows down, the enemy will have the opportunity to gather more troops and further prevent our army's offensive.
...Where is our airship? Where is the airship?"
Sun Zehao, the regiment chief of staff next to him, stared at the sky and said.
"Come on, they should be coming soon..."
Right here, there was a strange sound in the air.
"They're coming...right? Where's the airship?"
Looking towards the sky where the sound came from, Xu Yangzhi did not see the huge body of the airship, but saw a dozen black spots.
That is……
It's a plane!
Aircraft were an unheard-of new weapon not only for Americans, but also for most members of the Imperial Army.
When we got closer, people on the ground finally saw the planes in the sky clearly. They were small planes that looked a bit similar to gliders, but they had two layers of wings, and there was a dark string hanging under the belly of each plane.
Cylindrical object, what is that?
"What's this?"
The group of aircraft that the officers and soldiers of the 53rd Regiment saw were none other than the nine "Falcon" aircraft of the Imperial Army's 3rd Aviation Group. They were similar to the Haidong Qing fighter aircraft used by the Navy and used the same engine. However, considering its
Its mission is to carry out ground bombing, so its body structure is stronger and its bomb load is slightly lighter.
As usual, the "Falcon" fleet first flew over the US military fortress, then turned half a circle, dived over at a low angle, dropped bombs, and then pulled up.
The leader of the team, No. 103, was piloted by Lieutenant Zhu Wenli. He and Sergeant Zhang Fei, the rear seat bombardier and machine gunner, had been partners for many years. The two men were a perfect partner.
At this time, in order to observe the ground more clearly, Zhang Fei stood on the back seat and leaned out half of his body to observe the target on the ground. He soon noticed a US military mortar on the ground. He leaned down and shouted loudly.
Shouted the location of the American mortars.
After seeing the mortar, Zhu Wenli moved the control stick lightly and pushed the rudder hard with his feet. The fuselage tilted to one side and the plane began to turn. In fact, there is not much difference between flying an airplane and a glider. Zhu Wenli went to a glider school when he was in college.
team member.
"Okay, it's you!"
Unlike gliders, airplanes are powered!
After adjusting the course, Zhu Wenli piloted the plane and began to dive. The earth rushed towards him. The height became lower and lower, and the target became larger and larger. The sound of wind and the whistling of the propeller in their ears became stronger and stronger. Seeing the plane
At the moment when it was about to hit the ground, Zhu Wenli suddenly pulled the control column, and the 200-horsepower radial engine of Nanhua Power Machinery Company sprayed out thick black smoke, pulling the plane up.
At the same time, he pulled the bomb release lever, and two 50-kilogram bombs were thrown from under the wings on both sides. The bombs immediately roared towards the gun emplacement of the heavy coastal mortar.
The American gunners were so frightened by the swooping aircraft that they fell to the ground. When they heard the roar of the engines going away, before they could take a breath, they heard a sharp whistling sound in the air, and only two black spots were visible.
Falling from the sky.
"bomb!"
Before the gunners could shout, the bomb fell to the ground. In the violent explosion, the shock wave and the moment it hit, the gunners' bodies were torn apart in an instant, and the fragments of the bomb roared and flew around, and another
The bomb fell directly on a pile of sub-loaded ammunition next to the cannon. After dozens of heavy artillery shells were detonated, the violent explosion almost flattened everything around it.
"Destroy one ten-inch coastal mortar!"
Zhang Fei, who had written down the results of the battle, stood there holding on to the machine gun seat in the back seat and began to search for new prey.
At the same time, these inconspicuous small planes carrying only five bombs were hovering over the fortress, using bombs to attack the surface positions of the fortress.
"Damn it, what kind of machine is flying in the sky?"
When Tom was lying on the ground praying for God's blessing, he had only one thought in his mind - the devil!
Only the devil could build such a flying machine!
"boom!"
Suddenly there was another loud noise, an explosion like a landslide, which almost shook Tom who was lying on the ground from the ground. The ground was full of building debris. Tom who was lying on the ground even felt that his internal organs were shaken away.
into its original position.
"God, why do you punish your people like this..."
While Tom was praying, he saw a man walking around in the smoke of the explosion as if he was crazy and desperate. He even stood there and smiled stupidly.
"That guy is crazy!"
When this idea came to Tom's mind, a bomb happened to fall near the guy, blowing the guy into pieces. Tom lying on the ground was even spattered with blood, and a severed arm fell directly on his
In front of him, Tom just stared at the bloody broken arm. There was only one thought left in his mind - what kind of devil could create such a devil-like weapon...
