The Japanese military camps on the ground, the field fortifications for the attack, the cars, and the tents behind the tanks all flashed out in the silver moonlight.
Almost at the same time, Zhang Sixing, who was flying across the sky, untied the rope buckle holding the bomb.
At this moment, his height is about 500 meters, and the person on the ground still looks like an eagle hovering in the sky.
The ongoing shelling and bullet fire on the ground made almost everyone focus on saving their lives at night like this.
The bomb fell from the sky, but it did not hit the ground. The fuse-index ignited the charge, causing it to make a small explosion in the sky.
However, the round bomb first threw out a parachute amid such explosions, and then it suddenly sprayed out small rockets in the night sky, and then the projectile, which looked like a big bomb, suddenly spun.
Some small duck-egg-shaped things were thrown out by it under the moon.
Not only that, after those duck-egg-shaped things were thrown out, small tongues of flame emitted from their tails.
Like a firefly in the sky, riding on a flying monkey.
That's right, it's the simplest paper-wrapped gunpowder flying monkey, pushing those duck-egg-shaped submunitions to fly out.
The "duck eggs" like flowing fireflies trailing tiny tongues of flame formed a large strange shadow in the sky, and were finally pushed to the ground by gravity.
When it fell, due to its shape, the big end must be upwards. And the small end was slightly damaged because of a pistol cartridge case.
When it landed, the bottom nail was hit hard, and the gunpowder tablets with glass powder added to the primer part were ignited, and then the gunpowder in the cartridge case was ignited.
The rapid burning heat of the gunpowder finally ignited the few explosives in the "duck egg". The explosive exploded loudly like the largest firecracker.
The sticky asphalt mixed with saltpeter powder, white phosphorus, gasoline and other additives is sprayed out.
Then dots of flames quickly appeared on the ground. White phosphorus and saltpeter made the gasoline burn faster. The sticky asphalt was destined to be inextinguishable with water.
This kind of incendiary bomb is a variant of the clay hand grenade. It weighs only three hundred grams. So the big bomb weighing two hundred kilograms actually contains six hundred of these incendiary bombs.
The explosions on the ground kept ringing like exploding beans. This made Chennault, the second gliding over, stare in disbelief at the circular flame about a centimeter in diameter on the ground.
The coquettish flame danced on the night earth like a beauty releasing endless power. Chennault could not imagine how people within a hundred meters in diameter would be burned by such a flame.
In fact, it doesn't matter how it is burned. During the experiment, such a flame will burn everything that can be burned within the range, and the burning time will be more than fifteen minutes.
In such a fire scene, there would be no oxygen for fifteen minutes, and even a mouse would be suffocated to death if he spoke harsh words.
After all, this was 1937, and the clusters of incendiary eggs that the Americans burned down Tokyo in 1945 had not yet disappeared.
There is no need for Americans to study this time. If Zhang Sixing is needed, a lot of it can be produced in Argentina. Especially if it is used on the battlefield of the Pacific War, it will be a wonderful thing.
As the delta wing controlled by Chennault passed by, another bomb was thrown. Chennault deliberately deviated a little, creating another fire field, another fire field with a diameter of 100 meters that only slightly overlapped with the previous fire field.
Almost at the same time that Zhang Sixing launched his attack, Jiang Qiyan led his team of five delta wings and passed by a group of neatly erected tents.
Five circular flame areas with a diameter of one hundred meters completely covered the entire tent area.
As for the field fortifications, car convoys, tanks and artillery positions on the front line that were used as the starting point for the attack, several other groups took advantage of the sky-high fire to illuminate the battlefield and released clusters of burning eggs, turning them into a large sea of fire.
On the ground, even among the Chinese defenders stationed in defense fortifications, no one would look up to the sky unless they were commanders who knew the truth.
Especially since there was a fierce exchange of fire just a few minutes ago, none of the soldiers had time to admire the fashionable and relatively round moon.
But they were not senior officers stationed on the homeland defense line. Especially since this silent air strike was of an experimental nature, the location chosen was someone they had dealt with before, and the 88th Division was in front of them.
After the battlefield on the homeland defense line began, Sun Yuanliang truly felt the power of those home-made weapons.
Of course, the front lines that should be lost will still be lost, and it is impossible to completely stop the Japanese attack, but the casualties caused to the Japanese army will increase significantly. In particular, the countless homemade grenades played a great role in defensive operations.
Although the charge of that thing is only half of the Gong grenade, the prefabricated fragments actually increase the lethality.
Especially those prefabricated iron bean-shaped metal fragments. When smelting, any metal will be thrown into it. There are copper bullet cases, cast iron, lead, whatever metals can be found, the villagers who make them will add them one by one.
As a result, those prefabricated fragments often crack, break, and even become toxic when entering the human body.
The four grenade bags that the front-line soldiers originally hung on their back waists were not as heavy as the original grenades when they were filled with eight. Facing the Japanese attack, the front-line soldiers' favorite thing was to throw grenades in rows.
The most important thing about this thing is that it is cheap and affordable.
Of course, the most exciting thing is the earthenware grenades thrown from the gasoline barrel cannon. Dozens of them are thrown and they explode into a large area.
Unfortunately, the Japanese had air superiority and artillery superiority, especially the Japanese grenade launchers which reacted extremely quickly. After initially suffering the loss of the gasoline barrel cannon, whenever a gasoline barrel cannon was discovered, they would either wait for artillery fire or the aircraft would dive to drop the bombs.
As a result, it’s hard to find the cylindrical gasoline barrels on the front lines these days.
Then... I received a request from Zhang Sixing Parachute School asking for assistance in the experiment.
Seeing the sudden fire in front of the homeland defense line, Sun Yuanliang couldn't believe it and muttered in his heart:
That guy actually did the silent bombing. If he was so capable, he should have bombed the Japanese airport.
At the command post far behind, Sun Yuanliang, commander of the 72nd Army, looked at the battlefield through binoculars.
Of course, his beautiful vision could not be realized. At this time, the main force of Japanese aircraft on the battlefield was still the naval aviation parked on the beach. It was a bit unrealistic to expect gliders to attack the aircraft carrier.
Looking at the fire on the Japanese front, Sun Yuanliang continued to think while admiring:
I hope this silent bombing will not be discovered by the Japanese so early.
Unfortunately, this is just a good wish. In the houses in the villages near the national defense line, there are people wearing peasant costumes looking up at the sky.
And from the residence with the door open, a heavy smell of blood could be heard.
The moonlight shines on the kang, and the bodies of a family are lying in a mess.
"Those...those are eagles. Did the Chinese actually think of training birds to attack the ground?"
