"The effect of our bombing of position targets is really not very good." On the slightly bumpy plane, the pilot grabbed the control stick of the plane and complained to the pilot sitting on the co-pilot.
Behind them, the navigator laughed: "It doesn't matter. We have a lot of bombs anyway, so there is no need to worry."
"Bombing Beiyuan City can easily injure civilians. Your Majesty is kind and hopes that we will target these goblins more." The co-pilot then spoke.
"The outer positions are ahead!" Looking down at the ground beneath his feet, the driver reminded the bombardier again.
The bombardier gave a thumbs up: "I'm ready! Open the bomb bay door!"
Along with his command, mechanical sounds mixed in the wind, and the belly iron plate under the flying fortress slowly opened to both sides.
The fuselage of the aircraft began to become more bumpy due to the disturbance of airflow, and the bombs hanging on the bomb racks were densely packed.
The B-17 bomber taking off from Nanye does not need an extreme range at all, so it can not be loaded with fuel and leave all the take-off weight for the mount.
A fully loaded B-17 bomber is very terrifying. It can hang more than 8 tons of bombs inside its belly. What is the concept? One B-17 bomber is worth 16 Stuka dive bombers!
But in fact it cannot be compared like this, because in terms of bomber accuracy alone, a Stuka may be higher than a B-17 bomber, and in a sense it can also save ammunition.
"Start dropping bombs!" The bombardier pressed the button, and he could feel a bomb detaching from the pylon in the bomb bay behind him.
Then came the second bomb and the third bomb. Like raindrops, these aerial bombs separated from the bomber's pylon, scattered in the wind, and then fell rapidly.
Under the desperate gaze of the Mirage soldiers, these bombs were scattered on their positions, and the shock waves caused by the explosions quickly dispersed.
The bombardier on the plane could clearly see that his bombs made ripples like raindrops falling on the lake.
Then huge explosions roiled and spread rapidly from the middle of these circles, violently devouring everything around them.
The trench that was intact just now was instantly engulfed by the rising dust, and the machine gun bunker that seemed to be extremely solid just now was torn to pieces by the explosion in an instant.
The goblin's short body was torn apart in the air waves, and the sharp wind like a knife cut through everything around it that blocked its progress.
This was the first time for the troops of the Mirage Kingdom to see a weapon like an airplane. They stared stupidly at the airplane overhead, recalling the various descriptions they had heard from the people of the Qi Kingdom.
The people of Qi told them that the plane was a terrible monster that would bring horrific death every time it appeared.
It seemed like a joke to the people of Qi who had been frightened out of their courage. They said that their industrial factories were easily razed to the ground by bombs dropped by huge aircraft.
They said that a howling aircraft would soar into the sky, destroy bunkers or artillery with precision, kill everyone around it and then fly away.
These damn Qi people also said that those planes would suddenly shoot at the ground and kill the infantry gathered together, coming and going like the wind.
Before today, the people of Mirage laughed at the people of Qi for being as timid as rats, thinking that the people of Qi had been frightened by the Tang army, and what they said were all crazy and not trustworthy at all.
But now, they saw the Tang Army's aircraft and experienced the true terror of this weapon. They even forgot to raise their rifles and tried to fire two shots into the sky to prove the bravery of their Mirage people.
The ground beneath their feet was shaking constantly, and the huge explosion cruelly tortured everyone's eardrums. Mirage Wuliang stood on the position, staring at the Tang Army planes flying over his position, unable to say a word.
He wasn't even sure if anyone would survive in that bombed position. Because now there is only the diffuse smoke of gunpowder, and the flickering light of fire hidden in the gunpowder smoke.
"Then, is that a plane?" Finally, as the supreme commander of the Mirage Kingdom here, Mirage Wuliang barely defeated his fear.
He stared at the battlefield that was constantly exploding in the distance, his eyes full of despair and trembling. He didn't even notice that when he asked questions, his voice was full of tremors.
After asking this question, Xu Wuliang waited for a long time before he realized that no one seemed to answer his question. He withdrew his gaze and looked at the second prince of Qi who accompanied him to inspect the position.
The second prince finally came to his senses and looked at Xiong Wuliang: "No, that's right, that's Tang Army, Tang Army's bomber..."
In fact, the second prince, who had seen Tang Jun's plane, was filled with shock at this moment. It was also the first time for him to see such a large-scale dispatch of Tang Army aircraft. Only now did he realize that the air raids he had encountered before were just small scenes.
It turned out that the Tang Army had never put the main attack direction on his side from the beginning to the end. It turned out that his dead third brother and his eldest brother, whom he had always laughed at for being incompetent, had been fighting with such terrifying power...
Of course he didn't know that as the war progressed, the Tang Army's air power was actually growing.
The Tang Army now has nearly a thousand aircraft, and most of them are Stukas and flying fortresses capable of ground attack.
The Tang Army can now dispatch more than 500 aircraft at a time to attack ground targets, which is already a quite terrifying level.
You know, even in World War II, dispatching 500 aircraft at one time was considered a pretty good level. The Tang army was able to achieve this level thanks to the fact that the enemy did not have decent air defense capabilities.
A whole fleet of B-17 Flying Fortress bombers flew over the battlefield and dropped countless aerial bombs. These bombs covered the Mirage Army's positions like a carpet. This was also the first time the Mirage Army experienced what carpet bombing was. .
But this was just an appetizer prepared by the Tang army for the Mirage troops. In fact, before the Mirage army had finished admiring the magnificence of the strategic bombers, they began to experience the terror of the tactical bombers.
The Flying Fortress left the battlefield after dropping its bombs. Before the smoke cleared, groups of Stuka dive bombers began their performances.
Sure enough, Mirage Wuliang heard a heartbreaking howl. He didn't bother to look at the fire and smoke on the battlefield, but immediately raised his head and looked at the vast sky.
He saw a small black dot suddenly turn and begin to rush towards the ground, and then the terrifying sound that made people's hearts beat began to play.
"Woo... buzz... buzz..." The irritating sound seemed to have no end. Mirage Wuliang even immediately hoped that the sound would stop.
Regrettably, things did not develop according to his ideas. The sound did not stop for a moment until the small black dot in the sky turned into a plane. The sound finally made everyone break through their defenses and start crying for their fathers and mothers. He started howling and didn't stop!
Seeing that the plane that seemed to be about to hit the ground dropped a huge aerial bomb, and then suddenly pulled up at the extreme height, and flew away at an extremely fast speed, Ming Wuliang finally understood what the people of Qi were thinking about. The adjective for airplane is so accurate.
There was no exaggeration at all, and he was even somewhat restrained for the sake of face. It turns out that the planes of these Tang people are really so powerful, and it turns out that those Qi people are not really cowards.
Just when he thought of this, the 500-kilogram aerial bomb finally landed. The moment it touched the earth, the power of destroying heaven and earth was released violently.
Unlike the 100 kilogram or even 50 kilogram aerial bombs dropped by B-17 bombers, the 500 kilogram aerial bombs carried by the Stuka have even more terrifying damage capabilities.
With just one near-miss, a bunker and nearby trenches were basically completely destroyed. Those fortifications that consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, even at the expense of civilian lives, were instantly reduced to nothing.
The explosion of this bomb shook the earth, and the force of the explosion could be clearly felt even from places hundreds of meters away.
But before these mirage people began to collapse, the second identical aerial bomb was dropped, and the same thing happened again, and the ground beneath their feet shook again.
The miserable howling in the sky continued, like the sound coming from hell. Every time such a sound sounded, the Mirage soldiers could only pray in their hearts, praying that the other party did not aim at where they were.
"Then, that...general, general! I, I'm not here, I'm standing here..." The second prince was trembling as he prepared to leave. He didn't want to risk his life in this place.
Before Xiong Wuliang could say anything, he took the Qi guards around him and ran away. Mirage Wuliang glanced at the other party and knew that he couldn't keep the puppet, so he had no choice but to let him run away.
"General! You, please take cover, too." The Mirage adjutant beside him suggested worriedly as he looked at the Stuka dive bombers swooping down in the sky.
Before, he didn't think that Tang Jun's new gadgets flying in the sky were very powerful, but after seeing them today, he realized the seriousness of the problem.
Only by seeing this terrifying attack method with your own eyes can you understand why Qi's army collapsed thousands of miles away.
"Ugh..." Just when he put forward his suggestion, the devil's howl in the sky started again.
All the surrounding Mirage soldiers raised their heads. Only by personal experience can one understand what it feels like when the devil's voice is directed towards them!
Now they knew what the sound sounded like from far to near, facing them. That is the cry of despair, that is the god of death calling to them!
In the next second, an aerial bomb detached from the strut under the belly of the Stuka and rapidly grew in size in Mirage Wuliang's hole.
