"Oh my God, Gods above me...what are they going to do..." Looking up at the sky, on the Mullen River defense line, a puppet imperial soldier carrying a Mauser 98k rifle squinted at the sky above his head.
.
He saw a dark cloud, a whole man-made, terrifying dark cloud, passing over his head with a surging noise.
It was a densely packed group of Airan Hill bombers. It was the first time he had seen such a spectacular sight.
Coming from the countryside of the Puppet Empire, he has always lived quietly in a small mountain village. The Centipede City he passes by from time to time is the most spectacular sight he has ever seen.
He lived in that not-so-prosperous mountain village for thirty-two years, and then he was forcibly conscripted into the army and became a soldier of the puppet empire.
He still doesn't quite understand why he, who has no magic and has always been a puppet and a second-class citizen, has to act as an insignificant soldier in the war waged by the magicians.
He didn't know what happened to the invincible puppet empire. He only knew that he was sent to the front line and nervously dug some ridiculous long horizontal pits, which he heard were called trenches.
Working with him are puppet soldiers. These soldiers work hard and are not lazy like him. Everyone is working hard as if this is all the work of the war.
Until, he saw the soldiers on the other side of the river crossing the Mullen River in a panic, abandoning the position they were supposed to hold.
It wasn't until that day when he saw with his own eyes a huge black eagle flag rising over the town across the river that he realized that the war was already so close to him.
However, after all, it was just a flag raised on the other side of the river. After all, nothing had crossed the Malen River and set foot on the inherent territory of the puppet empire.
Now, everything has changed. This puppet imperial soldier who was once a farmer looked up at the sky. He saw one after another bombers from Eiland Hill, crossing the Mullen River and over his head.
"Isn't there hundreds of bombers?" An officer from the puppet empire put down the single-tube telescope in his hand, looked at his colleagues next to him depressedly, and asked.
Recently, the adjective "depressed" often appears on the faces of puppet imperial officers, because the only expression they can do these days is depressed.
Seeing with their own eyes the soldiers of Elanthir planted the flag on the top of the city occupied by the puppet empire. Apart from being depressed, they didn't have any good expressions.
"Hundreds? There are at least 300 bombers." Another officer beside him shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't know where they are going to bomb, but I know it will be over there."
This officer was obviously transferred back from the front line and had witnessed with his own eyes the overwhelming bombing power of the Airan Hill bombers.
If some of these bombers were carrying nuclear bombs, the scene would definitely be even more lively.
While he was talking, another huge phalanx of bombers appeared on the horizon. There seemed to be as many as 300 bombers.
For this large-scale bombing, Eiland Hill dispatched a large number of bombers from the front line to carry out this large-scale bombing mission.
The bombers transferred back from the southern and western fronts, plus the large number of B-17 bombers inherent in the southwest front, Ireland Hill has assembled a total of at least 1,000 large bombers, as well as another 1,000 attack aircraft of various types.
Covering these aircraft are another 400 advanced fighter jets of various types, including a small number of F-15s and F-16s, more than 200 MiG-21s, and some MiG-17 fighter jets that have not yet had time to retire.
"Report!" At this time, when there was silence in the puppet empire's headquarters, an attendant suddenly pushed in the door, startling everyone. After shouting a report, he walked to the commander's side and spoke.
Hui reported: "The anti-aircraft artillery unit sent someone to ask... Your Majesty the Magister... Do you need to fire to intercept?"
Naturally, there are 30mm anti-aircraft guns on the Mullen River defense line. Although the number is small, there are still some.
There are even some 75 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns and 130 mm caliber large anti-aircraft guns developed and produced by the puppet empire itself.
Why are these calibers so lovable? Because the Puppet Empire imported processing production lines of this caliber from the Holy Demon Empire. Those developed by themselves in the future can only use the calibers provided by these lofts.
For example, the 75mm caliber anti-aircraft gun was forcibly improved and developed from the 75mm caliber infantry gun - as for its performance, it can only be described in two words: haha.
Similarly, the 130mm caliber anti-aircraft gun is actually a strange enhancement of the 130mm caliber howitzer. The shooting height is not very powerful, only about 10,000 meters, and it is very difficult to intercept the bombers of Alan Hill.
But, as the saying goes, something is always better than nothing. The puppet empire had to resort to medical treatment in an emergency in order to intercept the Air Force troops of Elanthir. How could the weapons they finally produced be discarded because their performance was mediocre?
Therefore, whether it is for reasons of economy or because the performance is sufficient, the Puppet Empire is equipped with many types of anti-aircraft guns.
As for whether these anti-aircraft guns can achieve a good interception effect, that is a matter of opinion.
At this moment, there are 15 130 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns, 29 75 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns, and more than 1,100 30 mm caliber high and flat dual-purpose guns on the Mullen River defense line.
These anti-aircraft guns formed 32 anti-aircraft gun positions, distributed on the Mullen River defense line, and were responsible for protecting this line of defense from being destroyed by Eiland Hill's air force.
But how effective these anti-aircraft guns can be, all the puppet empire commanders who have seen the Airland Hill Air Force know in their minds, but they are not willing to say it out loud.
"Interception? What interception? Tell them not to open fire and provoke! If these planes drop bombs, the Mullen River defense line will be over!" The puppet empire commander yelled angrily.
The attendant was stunned when he heard the scolding, then nodded in realization, and immediately turned around and went out to convey the order from the headquarters.
When Eiland Hill's bomber force crossed the Mullen River defense line, like an eagle flying across the grassland, everything was silent and no one dared to make a sound.
Various Ailanshir bomber and attack aircraft units flew in formation in the sky, and then each flew towards the bombing target that had been repeatedly confirmed through satellite maps.
These targets are jungle farmland, as well as roads and transportation nodes, including villages and small towns.
Because the cities in the puppet empire are all on the move, during this round of bombing, Airan Hill's air force did not give its own troops an order to attack large towns.
However, they also prepared a big gift for each other. Among the bomber forces, 100 B-52 bombers are equipped with new Tomahawk cruise missiles, and some of these missiles are equipped with nuclear warheads.
These bombers are dispersed among various attack groups and can launch cruise missiles to attack as long as they find moving puppet imperial cities.
Anyway, the coverage area of this bombing is wide enough, and there will always be some large cities in the puppet empire. Even if these cities are moving, they will not be able to escape the attack of Tomahawk cruise missiles.
As long as one nuclear bomb hits, a large city will probably suffer heavy losses, and a medium-sized city will be completely destroyed. Anyway, Elan Hill can afford it, but the Puppet Empire cannot.
After all, Eiland Hill is the attacking party, they are the cause of losses, they are not worried about failure, and as long as they succeed once, the puppet empire will be doomed.
A few minutes later, on the first batch of B-17 bombers approaching the attack target, the bombardier removed his eyes from the sight and loudly reported to his captain: "I can see the forest! You can start dropping bombs!"
You can start dropping bombs!”
"Open the bomb bay! Open the bomb bay!" On the radio, one voice after another confirmed.
Then, the belly hatches of these huge bombers began to slowly open amidst the noise of mechanical friction.
Immediately afterwards, the incendiary bombs hanging in the bomb bay, most of which were relatively backward, were exposed to the turbulent airflow.
"Drop the bomb!" "Drop the bomb!" shouted one after another on the radio. One after another, the incendiary bombs separated from the bomber and dived towards the target under their feet under the influence of gravity.
An incendiary bomb fell from the sky and smashed directly into the dense woods. The incendiary agent inside splashed out and spread and burned together with the fire.
The trees were then ignited, and the dead leaves that had not rotted away last year also began to burn. Along with white phosphorus and other accelerants, everything became restless, and fires shot into the sky in the jungle.
The low-level monsters rushed out of their lairs in panic, looking at the uncontrollable fires one after another in horror. They fled in all directions, but could not escape the attacks of incendiary bombs that kept falling from the sky.
Many beasts and Warcraft were directly ignited by incendiary bombs, and a few high-level Warcraft were also in a state of panic. They rushed into the lake, only to find that as the temperature increased, the water in these small lakes had a tendency to boil.
Before the bombers in the sky had completely flown over, thick black smoke billowed out of this jungle, making it impossible to see its original appearance.
Farther away, another huge bomber formation also began to drop the same bombs on another forest.
Countless giant trees were turned into charcoal in the flames, ignited animals fled in all directions in the jungle, and countless birds fled from the scorching fire. On this day, most of the puppet empire's land was burning.
And all of this is just the prelude to the attack by the Airan Hill Air Force on this day. Later, there are various surprises they have prepared for the puppet empire.
