Chapter 1110 Indiscriminate bombing
Bann's command was set up in a sparse woods, which could be seen everywhere in Angola. After pulling up the camouflage net, it was difficult to find it from the ground or the sky. When he learned that an airship was coming, Bann was curious and puzzled and raised his telescope under the camouflage net.
"Where is the airship?" Bain searched for a long time, but he couldn't see any airship in the sky.
The staff officer who came to report smiled awkwardly and said, "Based on the radar altitude measurement, there are two airships at an altitude of 6,000 meters above our heads. Our air defense weapons are simply not reachable."
Six thousand meters?
Modern fighter jets rely heavily on logistics, and few people can use them now. But as long as there are some powerful organizations, they can always get a few ordinary aircraft, among which propeller aircraft are very common.
To deal with low-altitude propeller planes, several radar-equipped anti-aircraft guns are enough to keep them back and forth. The reason why Bain is confident that he can deal with air strikes is that he has encountered similar situations many times in the past.
But Bann deliberately angered his opponent and allowed him to use drones to detect himself. As a result, the opponent did not play according to common sense? Use an airship? The airship has a large target and a slow speed, and has been behind for more than a hundred years!
In a clear sky, even with a telescope, it is difficult to find an airship at a height of 6,000 meters. However, it is easy to observe the ground at an altitude of 6,000 meters. After ensuring that you are not threatened by portable air defense missiles and small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, the airship begins to show its terrible abilities.
With an ammunition load of seven tons, this capability is second to none among fighter jets. You should know that the old H-6 only has nine tons of ammunition at most. If you want to fly a little farther, you can only carry three tons.
For this bombing, Zhou Qingfeng specially brought the old high-deflation bomb from the Rabbit Air Force. The small one was 250 kilograms and the large one was 3 tons.
Six thousand meters altitude, fixed at the right point, stabilized. Today the airflow was stable and there was no wind. The airship stopped at high altitude and almost did not move at all. The bomber dismantled from the old bomber aimed at the ground. The captain responsible for the bombing was also a novice. He had just learned to use the bomber and had no confidence.
"Let's try it first?"
The captain also had a pilot and bomb dropper around him. After discussing, everyone decided to fire a small one first. In addition to two three-ton "big fat guys" on the belly rack of the airship, there were two "little fat guys". After locking the target on the ground, the bomb dropper pressed the button and the solenoid valve was released.
A 250-kilogram high-impedance bomb was immediately dropped, and the safety in the bomb body was automatically untie. With its weight, the airflow in the air could not affect its accuracy at all, and the gravity of the earth would pull it to the position where it should go.
It will take some time to fall from a height of 6,000 meters. The bomber crew at the high altitude was waiting anxiously, and Bain on the ground became more and more impatient. Two airships were hanging above his head. Idiots could guess what the other party wanted to do!
"Are you stupid? Hurry up and notify our plane to kill these two airships." Bain waved his hands, his expression furious. To be honest, he had made great calculations, but he really didn't expect his opponent to use the airship as soon as he appeared.
The plane couldn't come right away, and now all you can do is wait. Every second at this time seemed extremely thrilling, because any movement would make people feel that a bomb fell from the sky.
After several minutes, the bomb did not come down. Bain kept asking his mobile radar car for the traces of the airship, and then he learned that the airship had already hovered at a height of 6,000 meters on his position.
"Can they just happen to be above my head?" Boss Ben was frightened by his own guess and burst into cold sweat. "Tell me quickly, how long will it take for a bomb of a six-kilometer height to reach the ground when free falls?"
The staff officer was a little stupid and said after a while: "If you don't consider the influence of resistance, the time for free fall is... Sorry, respected leader, I can't calculate it. I don't have a good physics."
Bann and his staff looked at each other, and suddenly heard a sharp whistling sound from the air. The six thousand meters of free fall gave the bomb a huge speed. The compressed air created a violent vibration. It sounded extremely sharp in my ears and made me feel panicked.
When Bain heard the whistle, he immediately lay down to the ground. Within a few seconds, a sharp shock came from the ground, followed by a thunderous sound in the air. After a long time, he raised his head and found a column of smoke coming out about a kilometer away from him, which was more than ten stories high.
"Luckily it's not above our heads." Bain patted the ashes on his body, sighing that the bomb's landing point was still far away from him. But another bomb that corrected the position also landed and exploded, which was also earth-shaking.
Generally, 155 mm caliber is a heavy artillery, but a 155 mm shell weighs only a few dozen kilograms, and only a dozen kilograms of charge, which can blow up a range of dozens of meters. This is already a devastating blow in the eyes of soldiers.
The current bomb is 250 kilograms, which is considered a small one. It will almost die within a 100-meter range after one shot.
A report from the front soon came from the radio, saying that a black servant battalion was bombed, an old-fashioned burning air bomb. Half of the people died after one shot, and the other half was either frightened or scared to death!
What to do?
A tide of inquiries came from the radio immediately. The smoke pillar a kilometer away seemed to be far away from me, but who could have thought that who would be unlucky next?
"Don't worry, such fixed-point bombings should all be within the same range. Now we all know the landing point, just avoid where to avoid it. Don't worry, wait for a while, our fighter plane will come soon."
Bain showed his leader's majesty and ordered his subordinates who had been hidden to not move. His meaning was very simple. I wouldn't move the airship. Let it explode.
But within two minutes, the mobile radar sent a report, and the airship in the sky moved for a distance. This caused panic. Everyone felt that a sword of Damocles was hanging on their heads. Even Bann was asking, "Which direction did the enemy's airship fly in?"
At a height of 6,000 meters, the crew that had just carried out the bombing were clapping their hands. They could clearly see the crowd running around after being bombed on the ground, and in the direction of the crowd's escape, they also discovered another nearby enemy gathering point.
"Fly three hundred meters eastward."
"Stabilize, shut down, set point."
"We'll vote for a 'big fat man'."
This is a cluster sub-compartment bullet weighing three tons. After the bomb is dropped, the airship suddenly rises to a height of a high due to the reduction in load. The bullet body falls and unlocks the safety. After reaching a certain height, the screw-spinning bullet begins to spill one sub-compartment after another.
At this moment, people on the ground could clearly see that there were suddenly thousands of bombs on their heads. These sub-ammunitions were small in weight and large in size, just like a large net covering the range of more than a dozen football fields.
The people on the ground screamed in horror, ran away with their heads in their arms, and drove away immediately with keen eyes and hands. Those who had no car could only hate their parents for having two legs. However, when facing carpet-like cover bombing, as long as the unprotected target within the explosion range had no ability to resist.
The bomb rain fell to the ground unstoppable, and a layer of thunder clouds immediately rose on the ground. A dense explosion sounded, which shocked Bain himself squatted down. After a while, he raised his head again and saw that the ground, which was only a few hundred meters away from him, was blown up beyond recognition.
Trees fell and soil overturned, cars were destroyed and people were killed, bullet craters were like numb, and casualties were everywhere.
