Chapter 814: Strategic Armageddon (7)
The bomb was dropped very accurately, and it actually hit the armored car directly, and with a loud "boom", the armored car was blown apart, and after the explosion, there was only a big crater with green smoke on the road, and there was not much slag left in the armored car.
On the side of the road, several little devil officers who were hurriedly evacuating saw this scene and immediately shouted miserably: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander! ”
The commander of the brigade of the little devil major general was blown into ashes in this explosion.
in the sky.
A large number of Mustang fighters repeatedly dropped bombs on the little devil's team, although the little devil's march was several kilometers long, but the number of Mustang fighters was too many, and almost at the same time, the entire team was violently bombed.
Each Mustang fighter plane hung six 150-kilogram bombs, and in just a few minutes, everyone dropped almost all their bombs, and then the Mustang fighters began to dive and strafe.
One after another Mustang fighters flew over the heads of the little devils, and the six large-caliber machine guns on each Mustang fighter jet sprayed the flames of death, and the dense bullets were fired at the little devils.
The little devils who were fleeing in all directions were knocked down by the dense bullets one after another.
A little devil Shaozuo, who was carrying his own command knife, was running away in a panic into the distance, and the little devil Shaozuo had already left the road two or three hundred meters under the cover of several little devils.
In the sky, a Mustang fighter has already found this little devil officer who fled in a hurry, this Mustang fighter roared in, and the dense bullets beat the little devil Shao Zuo who was desperately fleeing into a sieve, and several ordinary little devils next to him. It's also not dead or wounded.
Some of the little devils who were fleeing not far away, seeing this Mustang fighter so fierce, were immediately frightened, and some of them actually threw away the Type 38 rifle in their hands, screamed, and stumbled away into the distance.
Ninety-six Mustang fighters carried out a fierce attack in this area for thirty to forty minutes, and only after they had used up all their ammunition did the planes begin to return home.
on the ground.
There are big pits everywhere. There are corpses of little devils everywhere. Even scattered weapons are everywhere, and it can be seen that this field brigade has suffered heavy losses, and the casualties have already exceeded half.
Seeing the Mustang departing. Many of the escaped little devils began to come back one after another. The remnants of the little devils saw corpses all over the ground. They all looked sad, and there were also a lot of little devils who seemed to have palpitations, just now. It's just terrifying that so many planes are bombing themselves.
At dawn, a large number of Mustang fighters and dozens of "Super Flying Fortress" bombers of the Chinese army began to carry out fierce air strikes against the little devils.
There was as little as one Mustang fighter squadron, as many as two or three Mustang fighter squadrons, and as just now, even four Mustang fighter squadrons, and these planes carried out fierce bombing and air strikes against the teams that the little devils took the initiative to attack.
This was only the first round of air strikes, and after the first round, the second, third, and even fourth and fifth rounds of strikes were carried out, and a large number of fighters made frequent sorties.
Under the fierce blows of the Chinese Air Force, the Japanese army's active offensive plan was forced to be interrupted, and after many little devil teams were fatally hit, the little devils began to turn to defense, focusing on air defense.
However, the anti-aircraft weapons of the little devils are seriously insufficient, and the fierce strikes of Chinese aircraft have continued.
****
Outside Mandalay.
Outside the entire city of Mandalay, a few kilometers near and more than a dozen kilometers away, the Japanese army built a large number of defensive positions, because they knew that the Chinese army had a large number of aircraft, and these defensive positions were relatively strong.
Of course, this sturdiness is relatively speaking, and the defending Japanese troops themselves think that they are relatively strong, but it is still unknown whether they can withstand the bombing of heavy aerial bombs.
After the sky was dark, there were several reconnaissance planes in the vicinity of Mandalay that were conducting high-altitude reconnaissance, and many little devils in this area also discovered these reconnaissance planes, but the altitude of these reconnaissance planes was too high, and the antiaircraft machine guns of the little devils could not reach them at all, and the little devils could helplessly accept the fact that they were being investigated.
Around noon.
Many little devils are already preparing to eat lunch, and there are a large number of little devils on many positions outside the city, and the morale of the little devils is not high, and many little devils already know that after dawn today, a large number of Chinese planes have carried out fierce air strikes against their front-line troops.
Although it is dozens of kilometers away from the front line, the little devils stationed on the huge positions do not feel any relief and are always worried about being bombed.
At this time, not far from here, a huge group of "Super Flying Fortress" bombers is flying towards this area, which is a formation of more than 50 bombers, which looks very huge.
The size of the "Super Flying Fortress" is much larger than that of the Mustang fighters, and the more than 50 bombers together look very spectacular, and it is simply a large area that covers the sky and the sun.
These planes are gradually lowering their altitude and approaching the little devil's defensive positions outside Mandalay, and the goal of these bombers is to bomb these defensive positions.
It was a large defensive position, relying on the undulating terrain, and this area of three or four kilometers long and more than a kilometer deep was built by the Japanese army with a large number of fortifications.
Trenches, pillboxes everywhere, some pillboxes are still cement pillboxes, as well as a large number of anti-artillery holes, and the positions are full of little devils.
Seeing a large group of bombers approaching, more than a dozen two-pack 25mm cannons deployed at this position opened fire in advance, although these "Super Flying Fortress" bombers were far from being within the range of these anti-aircraft guns.
in the sky.
These dozens of bombers flew at an altitude of at least six or seven thousand meters, and there was still a certain distance from this defensive position.
"Comrades! The anti-aircraft weapon of the little devil is a 25 mm cannon, pay attention to the height of the bomb. ”
A voice came from the radio system, and the crew of each bomber knew that in the face of the 25mm cannon of the little devil, as long as the bombing altitude was greater than 5000 meters, it was fine.
This anti-aircraft gun of the Japanese army is a Type 96 60 times diameter 25 mm caliber anti-aircraft gun, triple assembly, the muzzle velocity of the gun is 900 m / s, the maximum firing range is 6800 m, the maximum firing height is 5000 m, and the rate of fire is 220 rounds / min. Many fighters are already familiar with this 25 mm caliber anti-aircraft machine gun.
The flight altitude of the "Super Flying Fortress" bomber formation dropped a little, from 6 to 7,000 meters to more than 5,000 meters.
Soon, one after another aerial bombs weighing 200 kilograms roared and threw themselves at the defensive positions of the little devils, and a violent explosion sounded.
Many little devils who were cowering in the trenches, as well as some little devils in the bunkers, were killed one after another, and even the cement bunkers built by the little devils could not bear in front of the 200-kilogram heavy aerial bombs. One such bunker after another was blown to pieces.
The Japanese army considered itself a very strong fortification, and in the face of these bombshells, everything was a floating cloud, and they were destroyed one by one.
Even the strong cement bunkers were destroyed, not to mention the trenches, and when a bomb went down, the long trenches were gone, and the little devils hiding in this trench were also killed.
Seeing that the bombs of the Chinese army were so powerful, many little devils immediately panicked and went to the nearest anti-artillery hole cannon in order to avoid the bombing.
The anti-artillery shelters everywhere are crowded with little devils, these anti-artillery shelters are different from the air-raid shelters, they are far from being as deep as the air-raid shelters, they do not go deep into the ground at all, and they may be able to resist the bombardment of heavy artillery of 105 mm caliber, but in the face of these 200-kilogram bombshells, they are still not strong enough and difficult to resist.
These anti-artillery holes are generally about ten meters deep, and some are only about a few meters deep, and are generally reinforced and supported by thick wood, and there are few anti-artillery holes with cement structures.
There are not many anti-artillery holes in the cement structure, and they are generally used by some high-ranking Japanese officers or as a headquarters.
At this time, a little devil Dazuo officer, several Zhongzuo and Shaozuo, were hiding in a cement anti-artillery hole more than ten meters deep, which was also a wing headquarters, and there were even several radio stations in the anti-artillery hole, and there were tables.
The little devil Dazuo hiding in this anti-artillery hole had a very ugly face, I don't know if it was because the explosion outside was too violent and unbearable, or because his troops were too dead and wounded to look ugly.
The ugly little devil Dazuo, through the hole, looked at the huge explosion outside, the mud was flying, one huge pit after another, a large number of little devil stumps and broken arms, a large number of weapons and equipment, with the air waves scattered and flying, the little devil Dazuo's face was a little ugly.
"Boom" explosion sounded at the entrance of the cave, half of the hole was blown up, the little devil in the cave was almost stunned, and several little devils near the entrance of the cave were even more shocked to death.
There was a loud "boom" again, and the little devil in the cave felt that the entire anti-artillery hole was shaking, and the cement and soil on the top of the cave fell down with brushes, and many little devils in the cave were horrified to find that their own anti-artillery hole was blown up and cracked.
Just now, a 200-kilogram bomb exploded on the top of this anti-artillery hole, and all the earth several meters thick on the top of the anti-artillery hole was lifted, revealing a large crater and also revealing the top of the cement, as long as another bomb exploded on it, this anti-artillery hole would be 100 percent blown up.
