At this time, the Japs on the air defense positions outside the airport came to their senses and desperately shook the rudder of the gun to turn the muzzle, but it was too late. Eight Chinese bombers were flying at low altitude to drop bombs in the large airport, and the Japs' artillery fire was unable to do anything. .
"boom!"
A fuel truck was hit by a bomb, making an earth-shattering explosion. The entire truck bounced three to four meters above the ground. The strong air flow carried flames and drowned a dozen Japanese soldiers who were 40 to 50 meters away who were fleeing for their lives. In the fire He was struggling desperately, and his screams were as shrill as a ghost.
The gasoline splashing everywhere in the air was like a doomsday flame, turning hundreds of square meters into a place of death. Several nearby fighter planes were instantly enveloped in fire, and the outer shell of the aircraft began to burn, making a crackling sound of steel cracking.
The eight bombers carried 52 50-kilogram bombs and 120 20-kilogram bombs. The crews of the eight bombers were all experienced and murderous. They were all veterans. They dropped bombs at low altitudes and hit eight out of ten. The first wave of attacks, Bombs rained down on military planes parked on both sides of the runway.
Just two minutes later, the first wave of low-altitude bomb drops ended. The shooters would drop a bomb every twenty or thirty meters. The bombers circled and turned around at low altitude in an orderly manner. The shooters opened the launchers of the second batch of bombs and prepared to launch the third bomb. Second wave of attack.
Shooting down bombers with pistols and rifles is basically something that happens in dramas. Even if it does happen in reality, it is only a one-in-a-million chance.
At this time, the shell of the bomber cannot be penetrated by pistols and rifles at all. Moreover, these eight bombers all dropped bombs at a height of one to two hundred meters at extremely fast speeds. Under such a terrifying strike force, the little Japanese near the airport runway You can only find a place to escape. This is human survival instinct.
Only when the safety of the Japanese in the distance is not endangered, can they take out their pistols and shoot, but that is already several hundred meters away, just for show.
The air raids continued fiercely. In the sea of fire, the Japanese had no power to fight back and could only follow human instinct and run away.
Under such an overwhelming blow, 80% to 90% of the Japanese were knocked to the ground by the powerful shock wave. When they stood up again, their bodies had been ignited by the ubiquitous gasoline, so they appeared in the movie, desperately fighting in the flames. Scenes of struggling and running are engulfing in fire.
Nearly two hundred fighter-bombers from Hainan Airlines and Army Airlines were parked next to each other on both sides of the long runway. Some were exploding and most were burning. Pieces of red flames shot out from the exploded fuel tanks. , billowing smoke, and may explode at any time.
The fuselage of some aircraft was leaking oil after being hit by shrapnel. It was not burning yet. The fire spread from one aircraft to another. Wherever the gasoline flowed, the fire followed. There were several runways on both sides of the entire airport. Rows of planes almost turned into dark red mushroom clouds, which looked very spectacular from the sky.
The explosion in the airport was deafening and soul-stirring. It could be heard dozens of kilometers away. People ran out of their rooms and stood on high ground. Knowing that the Japanese airport had suffered a disaster, they all beat gongs and drums and clapped their hands in welcome.
The steel of the fighter jet was burned by the fire, making a crackling sound, which made the ears of the little Japs on the air defense position outside the airport numb. Many timid people would have fled long ago if it weren't for the fact that there were supervisors with guns watching behind them. The sound of two bombs and more than 200 aircraft burning and exploding simultaneously made people feel that the end was coming.
The faces of Xu Jianghua and other eight pilots looked very ferocious under the light of the fire. The red color reached the extreme and was very scary. Their hearts were extremely happy. What they were thinking about now was to drop bombs, bombs, bombs, bombs, bombs, bombs, bombs, bombs, bombs, bombs, bombs, bombs, bombs, bombs, bombs, bombs, bombs, bombs, bombs. Bomb and kill, drop bombs in every corner of the entire airport.
This massacre was so hearty that the eight bombers were not blocked in any way and acted recklessly above the Japanese airport.
Several Japanese fighter jets that had been refueling struggled to slide towards the runway and tried to take off, but were hit by the bombers' airborne weapons. They overturned and ignited a raging fire on the runway of the airport. It was better this time to directly kill those who had The escape route of the fighter plane that had the opportunity to take off was blocked.
In the second round of attack, six bombers continued to attack the missed fish on both sides of the airport runway, and the other two bombers began to attack the hangars and woods on both sides.
The Chinese Air Force was fully prepared for this attack on Nanning Airport. It carried few large bombs and most of them were small bombs. Each bomber carried several incendiary bombs specifically to deal with the woods and hidden hangars in the airport.
The incendiary bombs were thrown into the woods, exploded and broke into more than 50 small incendiary bombs, which were scattered all over the woods. In an instant, black smoke rose from the treetops and shot straight into the sky, completely blocking the sight of the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower outside the airport. Fire surged under the treetops. Some pine trees were ignited and made a crackling sound. Dozens of transport planes hiding inside and the generals' special aircraft burst into flames and exploded.
Major General Tsukamoto 243 fell in a pool of blood and became a bloody man. Next to him lay seven or eight corpses with indistinguishable flesh and blood. Lieutenant Colonel Suzuki Taketoshi was the king of reconnaissance planes. Half of his head was knocked off. , the deputy captain of the Kisarazu Air Force, Major Adan Ishikawa, had his throat cut open by shrapnel, leaving only a layer of skin hanging down. The deputy captain of the Kanoya Air Force, Major Ogawa Hongretsu, had his abdomen pierced by a bullet, and his intestines were exposed and stained with mud and gasoline. Fortunately, The fire hadn't reached here yet, and he was rolling on the ground in pain, struggling before death.
After a brief panic, Major General Tsukamoto 243's guards, under Saburo Itai's reminder, dragged Tsukamoto 243 from the ground and ran towards a large pool not far away. However, they did not know that at this time The large pool had turned into a sea of death fire, with engine oil splashing everywhere in the pool. Dozens of little Japs who had hid in beforehand were burned inside, like aliens in the fire, with teeth and claws showing, their bodies blazing, and their facial features ferocious. Crying and laughing...
Saburo Itai's ears were filled with the sound of explosions and the painful screams and moans of the soldiers. He felt the pain in his thigh as if it had been cut open by a knife. When he reached out and touched it, the blood had completely soaked his pants. He knew that if the bleeding could not be stopped in time, , medical treatment, this life is on hold at the airport.
Saburo Itai didn't care about the life and death of Major General Tsukamoto 243. He reached out and pulled off a sleeve from a dead body nearby, tore it open and made a bandage, wrapped it around the root of his thigh to stop the bleeding, and limped out to escape. He felt his thigh while running. It could break at any time, staggering and falling. When he looked up, he happened to see two Type 96 warships parked apart from each other that had not been bombed. So he hurriedly struggled to run over, reached out to grab the ladder, climbed into the cabin, and Sprint with all your strength on the lawn, ready to take off powerfully.
According to the results of the daytime investigation, Zhou Zhihan flew a Spitfire and in a blink of an eye he was over the airport oil depot where the Japs were best hidden. He knew that once the oil depot exploded, its power would be comparable to that of a small nuclear bomb, not comparable to a bomb of several hundred kilograms. He He didn't dare to dive and drop a bomb, so he dropped a bomb 2,500 meters in the air. The bomb roared down and exploded more than 30 meters away from the oil depot.
The bombing failed.
Zhou Zhihan turned the nose of the plane, lowered the altitude, and was about to drop the bomb. His eyes were blinded by the flames produced by the explosions on the opposite side, so he could only fly over the oil tank, then turned around in front, carrying the bomb inside the airport. Fire, ready for the second bomb drop.
At this moment, he discovered that the returning Japanese fighter jets were still at most five minutes away from the Nanning Airport.
It turned out that Major Masao Maruyama saw flames shooting into the sky in the direction of Nanning Airport dozens of kilometers away, which gave him an ominous premonition. Knowing that something was wrong, he immediately turned on the accelerator and rushed for help.
There is no time.
The arrival of these dozen Type 97 land fighters will bring disaster to the eight bombers that are bombing at low altitudes.
Zhou Zhihan decided to dive and bomb, first blowing up the giant oil depot, and then taking off to intercept the Japanese fighter jets returning to defend.
Dive-dropping bombs to blow up the oil depot was almost a life-threatening decision.
Zhou Zhihan's mind instantly flashed back to the scene at the beginning of the Battle of Dunkirk, when the Reaper Stuka bombers bombed the huge oil storage tank of the Saint-Pol Refinery and was instantly devoured by fire.
