This ancient castle built by the Spaniards looks a bit majestic in the sun. The marks left by Bonifashow and his revolutionaries have long been lost in the moss of the years, and they are probably ghosts floating in the night.
It can also remind people of the tragedies that happened here.
This is true. There have been constant reports of hauntings in this castle over the years. Considering the five thousand girls who were eaten by them, it is not surprising that there are ghosts and the like. Fortunately, regardless of the former Governor Kuropat
Both Jin and the current governor Sukhomlinov sneered at these things, especially Kuropatkin. It was a joke for a guy like him who was burdened with the blood debt of hundreds of thousands of Japanese to care about these things.
"You know? Your joke is very funny, dear Nastasya. To use a Chinese adjective, Manila can be said to be impregnable. This is a fortress that despairs all attackers, a real steel fortress. We have countless
We have reinforced concrete fortresses and large-caliber artillery. We also have a powerful fleet in Manila Bay. The sea is full of mines. What do the Chinese use to attack? Are they flying from the sky?"
On the lawn inside the castle, the Russian Governor-General in the Philippines, Suhomlinov, hugged his newly acquired lover and said with a smile while walking.
It's a pity that the Chinese didn't give him any face. Just when Nastasya looked at him with admiration, this old guy who was almost sixty this year, a confidant of Nicholas II, and a Russian army general, suddenly became confused.
The ground raised his head. In the clear blue sky, with the somewhat dazzling sunshine on the background, something seemed to be vaguely emerging. The breeze brought the same vague buzzing sound, as if there were swarms of bees flying, and this
The sound becomes clearer and clearer until...
"Air raid. Air raid, sound the air defense siren!" The old guy suddenly pushed the beautiful girl in his arms away and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Countless silver war eagles were flying out of the dazzling sunshine, as if coming from some illusory space. In the castle on the ground, the shrill air defense siren suddenly sounded, and the Russians who were enjoying the afternoon leisurely suddenly
The boy was stunned, and then he became confused like a flock of ducks that broke into a wild dog.
Fortunately, this castle still had some air defense capabilities. Soon several Chinese-made 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine guns mounted on the towers sprayed flames, but unfortunately their opponents were not bulky airships.
Eighty Eagle fighter-bombers took off from an aircraft carrier two hundred kilometers away. As soon as they saw the anti-aircraft machine guns on the ground firing, they immediately swooped down. The 12.7mm machine guns mounted on both wings also sprayed out flames, instantly hitting the ground below.
Everyone fell on their backs. Then, taking advantage of the Russians being disrupted, the first batch of bombing fighter planes passed over the castle at high speed. At the same time, more than twenty 50-kilogram-class aerial bombs fell into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, they exploded one by one into balls of fire.
Rising below, countless building fragments flew into the sky.
The poor Governor was lying in a relatively strong fortress, watching the enemy raging above his head. He didn't have a fighter jet in his hands. Because originally he didn't need such a thing here. Of course, even if he had it, he couldn't change his destiny.
.
"Didn't you say that it was impossible for the Chinese to attack?" Nastasya, who had just taken a mouthful of mud, complained in a very uninterested manner, with an expression that was really pitiful.
"Get out!" His Excellency the Governor roared and kicked her aside.
With the first air raid on Manila, Yang Feng's long-awaited Luzon Campaign officially kicked off. Just as the first batch of Eagle fighter-bombers took off from the two aircraft carriers Dingyuan and Zhenyuan in the Governor's Palace,
Shortly after Fort Santiago dropped 20 tons of bombs, forty Thunder heavy bombers took off from Panay Island and dropped hundreds of tons of bombs and solidification bombs on other major Russian military camps, warehouses and other important targets in Manila.
qi decoy bomb.
Before these aerial beasts could return home, the second batch of sixty Eagle fighter-bombers that took off from the aircraft carrier had already arrived. From this day on, which the Russians will remember, in the next more than a month, unless there is a violent storm,
Bad weather. Otherwise, these aerial beasts that take off from the sea and land respectively will arrive every day. Those Thunder bombers are better, because they can only bomb once because of the distance, but the Eagle Fighting Falcon that takes off from an aircraft carrier a hundred kilometers away
The bombers didn't care about the time limit at all. They could fly over and drop deadly bombs at any time as long as they were willing. In the end, they didn't even bother to form a group to come over. A single plane dared to just come over and drop bombs on any target like a game.
Poor Sukhomlinov no longer dared to continue performing his duties on the ground, so he had to move his governor's office to the basement, to the cellar where Bonifa Show used to keep those two-legged sheep. Unfortunately, with the
In the later period, the bombs carried by the Eagle aircraft became heavier and heavier, and even the cellar was unsafe. The Governor had to have someone dig another layer down in the cellar for himself.
"This is modern warfare. If you dominate the sky, you dominate everything. No matter the ocean or the earth, they are at a natural disadvantage in the face of attacks from the sky. From now on, whenever possible, every battle we have is best to start with an air strike, or even start with an air strike.
Aerial strikes will determine the winner." On the Dingyuan aircraft carrier, Emperor Yang, who came specifically to guide the operation in person, looked at the flight deck in front of him. The planes returning to land and hurriedly reloading to prepare for taking off again were attacking the people beside him.
Help the generals.
"Next, don't just bomb ground targets. Equip these aircraft with 250 kilogram-class aerial bombs with delayed fuses to blow up Russian warships!" His Majesty the Emperor continued.
Naturally, the generals did not dare to neglect the imperial edict. A group of sixty Eagle fighter-bombers were quickly loaded with 250 kilograms of aerial bombs and flew to the Russian port in Cavite.
The Russian battleships Peresvet and Oslibia are old-fashioned diesel-powered battleships. Facing the huge Chinese fleet outside, which can crush them with just one of them, they can only hide in the military port and hide under mines.
and the coastal defense artillery protection circle act as floating fortresses to provide fire support for the coastal defense forces when the Chinese launch a landing operation. But unfortunately, facing enemies from the sky, their two protective nets are useless
, those huge caliber coastal defense guns cannot shoot into the sky.
"Prepare to drop bombs, brothers, we must sink the Russian battleships. His Majesty the Emperor is waiting for news of our victory." Colonel He Hui, the flight leader in charge of this operation on an Eagle fighter-bomber in the sky, faced
The radio shouted, and then there was a burst of agreement from the radio. He pushed the joystick with satisfaction, and the plane under his seat immediately roared and dived towards the battleship Peresvet.
His target did not have any anti-aircraft weapons. In fact, not to mention this old-fashioned battleship at this time, even the latest battleships were not equipped with anti-aircraft weapons. Except for the last attack on the British landing fleet by a German airship, people at this time simply
I have never imagined such a thing as an aircraft attacking the sea. Even if the British are studying the modification of the Furious as an aircraft carrier, it is mainly for reconnaissance. At this time, those small planes carrying a small bomb of tens of kilograms are flying on the vast sea.
Blowing up a fast-moving warship is like a joke.
But today the Russians know this is no joke.
He Hui, who was diving at high speed, aimed at the deck behind the forward main gun at a height of only a few hundred meters away from the battleship Peresvet and dropped the only bomb he carried. Then, like a predatory seabird, He Hui
It was suddenly pulled up in an instant, and the bomb fell rapidly with inertia with a roar that broke through the air.
The Russian soldiers on the deck of the Peresvet, who were firing rifles into the sky, screamed in panic and fled in panic as the roaring sound got closer and closer. Almost in the blink of an eye, they heard a bang, which was equivalent to
The bomb with the weight of a 305mm shell instantly broke through the horizontal armor with a thickness of only a few tens of millimeters and landed inside the Peresvet. Then the delay fuse was turned to the end, and hundreds of kilograms of antimony and antimony equipment inside were
The explosive detonated instantly, and the huge explosion was as powerful as a monster in myths and legends, with countless steel fragments arching up from below. Even the twin 305 turrets of the front main gun were directly blown away.
The burning fire quickly spread inside the Peresvet.
At this moment, two other Eagle fighter-bombers dived down from the sky almost at the same time. One of them even dived to a height of less than a hundred meters before dropping a bomb, and then almost grazed the battleship's mast. It was so close.
Of course, there would be no error in the distance of the bomb. The 250-kilogram aerial bomb smashed through the horizontal armor and landed directly in the main engine cabin. With the deafening explosion, four 7,000-horsepower diesel engines were simultaneously blown into pieces.
scrap metal.
By this time, the Peresvet was actually finished, but the planes in the sky still did not let go of it. Emperor Yang said that it should be bombed and sunk, so it must be bombed and sunk.
Just as the Peresvet was being attacked by dozens of aircraft, the fate of the Oslibia next to it was no different. Thirty Eagle fighter-bombers came into battle one after another, dropping bombs one after another.
The second bomb dropped on the battleship anchored at the dock opened a large hole in its stern deck, and the explosion deep inside even broke the drive shaft.
The two poor battleships held their berths for less than fifteen minutes in total. Finally, they were ravaged by sixty Eagle fighter-bombers, and finally sank into the pier with humiliating sorrow, while Manila opposite them
, countless Russians silently watched the whole process from being attacked to sinking. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
