Chapter 920 Bombardment and Indiscriminate Bombardment
There were a total of 30 planes, 20 transport planes, and 10 attack planes that rushed to the harbor, and after capturing and shooting down all the enemy planes with the interceptor group in a few seconds, the captain easily ordered the group to pounce on the harbor that had been seen.
The air defense there is not in the city, there are also four corvettes, four inshore defense ships. Although their anti-aircraft firepower is not very strong, it is also a ship that requires several anti-aircraft guns and a few anti-aircraft machine guns, and the combined firepower is still very fierce.
Receiving the order, the attack planes in the flutter rushed into the harbor first, and while the enemy battleship launched an attack, the machine guns swept towards the battleship.
The flexible fuselage flipped and took off, and the bullet chains were drawn towards the battleship one by one, creating pieces of fire on the battleship, and the shells of the machine guns exploded a puff of gunpowder smoke and fragments, and fired at the anti-aircraft weapons on the battleship.
The anti-aircraft cookies on the enemy battleships were fired to their maximum output, and the roar of artillery and tom anti-aircraft machine guns roared, and strings of projectiles flew into the sky, chasing the strafing planes.
In just a few seconds, the enemy's firepower was concentrated on more than a dozen attack planes, and the projectiles flew all over the sky.
At this moment, several transport planes had already taken off and flew above the battleship, flying by three or four hundred meters away.
Before the plane swept past the stern of the ship, Uncle I on the battleship saw small parachutes falling from the sky.
The parachutes are not very large, only the size of the bathtub, and although the speed is not as fast as the bomb, it is not slow.
What is that?
All the US troops who were aiming at the sky to catch up with the planes stared in amazement at these small parachutes that landed quickly, and they didn't know what the road was. But the battleship couldn't completely get out of the way of their landing while it was moving, and they didn't know what trouble this thing would cause to the battleship.
But they can see the size, not even 200 kilograms, but like an oil drum, guess there shouldn't be too much trouble. In addition, several of them fell to the side of the battleship, and if they fell, they were designated as nautical miles.
In the tense firing, they couldn't stop the falling objects, and watched them fly above the battleship.
The falling object was still thirty or forty meters above the battleship, and suddenly, a roaring explosion sounded. Immediately after that, a ball of flames burst into the sky, just like a salute flower, and a large ball exploded, and the Martian Celestial Maiden fell towards the battleship like scattered flowers.
This is......
Everyone looked at the rain of fire falling from the sky in confusion, and subconsciously dodged. No one wants to be splashed.
But how can they hide?
The hula-la-la-fly fire fell all over the battleship in an instant, and fell on the gunners who were shooting desperately and had already shot down several enemy planes.
"What is this!!"
"Ahh My God! Help me put out this damn flame!! ”
A miserable shout immediately rang out on the battleship, and the soldiers who were splashed by the fire splashed on their bodies, whether with their hands or with their clothes. In addition to making the hands and clothes burn, the flames have burned through the clothes quickly, taking over the skin, and burning violently on the skin.
The burning pain caused the soldiers to collapse completely, howling and rolling on the deck for help. But their rolling, except for more stains with the flames burning on the deck, did not make the fire on their bodies any smaller.
In just a second or two, those guys who only burned in a few fire spots turned into fire people, and the screams were even more terrible.
Helicopters flew over the battleship. Four frigates, four inshore defense ships were on fire. Although it will not burn the battleship, there may not be a single living person left on the deck.
"Knock out the conning tower!"
The captain looked at the several attack planes that had crashed into the sea and roared.
Then, a series of machine-gun shells swooped down on the ship's tower.
Although the towers could withstand the shelling, they could not do anything about the shells coming in from the windows. Booming explosions. Shrapnel flew sideways in the turret, and the air waves were rolling, and the helmsmen inside, including the captain, were left with nothing left in the round of shooting, leaving only the broken corpses of the tower. Blood and smoke everywhere.
One tower after another was swept by helicopters, and there weren't too many ways to dodge it inside. In a matter of seconds, there was not a single captain left.
The battleship, too, lost its direction of command, but the voyage continued, although the speed was not fast, but this was the harbor, and after a few minutes, they did not hesitate to crash into the dock or the shallows, one by one burning with not violent flames, or ran aground and capsized, or the bow was damaged, and I am afraid that there was no chance to leave in a short time.
As they sailed straight to their destinations, the group had scattered and rained down on several small tugboats that were making a U-turn on the Texas, and the rain of bullets in the harbor smashed several tugboats like tore toys.
These small tugboats could not withstand the strafing of Vulcan cannons and machine guns, and in a short moment, they were smashed to pieces, and the Texas lost power and drifted with the waves at the exit of the dry dock.
After completing the mission, a group of 30 planes with only 24 planes left roared up and pounced on the anti-aircraft positions of anti-aircraft machine guns and light machine guns, spitting tongues of fire and pouring out their anger to the fullest. One by one, incendiary bombs fell on the position, and with a roar, the place was turned into a sea of fire.
In the harbor, thick smoke billowed and fires burned everywhere, causing everyone to flee in all directions, and no one thought about boarding the ship and leaving.
They saw the battleship on fire, the battleship ran aground and capsized, and the battleship lost control and rushed headlong into the dock. They all realized that the harbor was the target of the enemy's care, and they had no need to worry about leaving.
Outside the port, the battleship group received the news of the air attack, and the Enterprise urgently took off attack aircraft to intercept and assist. But by the time they flew to the harbor, it was too late, and it was out of control.
They rose into the air in formation and began to search for enemy aircraft, conduct air battles.
By the time they reached the skies over the harbor, one large and two small airfields had already been attacked with destruction.
The helicopter attack planes lowered their noses, and the machine guns sprayed flames and swept over the planes taking off, directly blowing them up, causing thick smoke to billowing from the airfield and flames to the sky.
This was not the most terrifying, as the attack planes flew by to attract fire, destroying the planes on the runway, one incendiary bomb after another fell in the air. Those tarmacs and hangars were targeted, but fuel depots and ammunition depots were not bombed.
With a loud bang, the airport was immediately engulfed by a sea of fire falling from the sky, and in a short moment, the fire enveloped the airport.
The American troops, who had never seen the power of incendiary bombs, howled all over the place, and they rolled. Desperately beating the flames on his body, but only his hands were burning fiercely.
The napalm mixed with white phosphorus burned violently, and it also had an extremely strong burning ability, burning their bones in a short time, and taking their lives in a scream.
The hangars were burned through by the flames, igniting the planes parked inside, and within five minutes of the flames, the entire airport was engulfed by Huihai, and even the runway was burning with piles of flames.
Plane. Those who did not take off were unable to taxi because of the wreckage everywhere on the runway, and the soldiers desperately shot into the sky, but they could not catch up with the rushing planes, and watched the airport fall into flames.
Those ground workers dragged the water pipe to the burning flame, but as soon as the water column sprayed, the flame burst out with more violent burning force, and with the flow of water, the flame was carried to other places. Ignited some flammable objects at a distance.
There were no bombs falling in the sky, but the falling petrol bombs were even more terrifying. Those artillery positions. Anti-aircraft artillery positions, anti-aircraft machine-gun positions, at almost the same time, turned into a sea of fire. And the anti-aircraft artillery, the front and rear combined, only shot down a dozen planes, in exchange for the whole of Havana in flames.
Dozens of planes hastily took off at the airport to face helicopters that had never been seen before. They were all hovered by helicopters and strafed. Where did they know that the head-on evasion would make them die faster, closing the distance, and biting the opponent's tail tactics would not work for any other purpose at all.
No matter how they flipped and flew, they just turned the nose of the plane, and the bullets rained down and followed and strafed. Until they blow up their planes.
From time to time, a white cloud falls in the sky, and the pilot, who has time to parachute, will have time to watch how the other side fights. They were dumbfounded one by one, such an aircraft is not a little stronger than their current attack aircraft, it is too flexible.
When the air battle on this side ended, and when the airfield and air defense facilities were attacked, the carrier-based planes also rushed to the skies over Havana, and immediately encountered the overturned enemy planes, and the air battle broke out again.
They are also not adapted to this way of air combat, maneuvering, climbing, are ineffective for helicopters, and even more useless for those transport planes, the other side does not even move the nose, and the Vulcan cannon on the side door will kill them.
By the time they found the tongues of fire on the side, it was too late to dodge, and they were hit and crashed, or they burst into the sky with fireworks, scattering debris and disappearing into the sky.
The air battle was not tragic at all, and the US pilots who did not understand the situation were already destroyed and killed by the time they understood. Several air battles ended slowly, in just a few minutes, the two sides completed the kill in a staggered manner, and there was no chance to chase and dodge at all.
Although the fighters are not advanced, they can face the helicopters that are flexible and have fierce firepower, and they do not have an advantage in speed, and they are attacked one after another in the face of tactics they do not understand.
Zheng Guifei's air raid didn't even last twenty minutes, and there was a sea of fire everywhere, and the figures running all over the street were gone, and they all hid in their homes and in positions that they thought were safe. They were not willing to flee, they saw the horror of the killing gods, the fragments of corpses on the streets, and the mud all over the ground, all left behind by the killing gods as they passed by.
The living people quickly decomposed in front of their eyes, and without even the sound of screaming, the puff turned into a blood mist.
At sea, when Havana was in chaos, the guns of the battleships were raised one after another, according to the coordinates set before, waiting for the enemy to attack the edge of Havana, so as to implement artillery coverage.
In the face of the air attack, they dispatched dozens of carrier-based planes to do their best, but the flying water reconnaissance planes did not return, and their air defense could not reach the city, so they could only support the forward positions with artillery fire.
There were only eight attack planes parked on the deck of the Enterprise, and the rest were bombers. They could only watch dryly, but they could not stop the other party's air raids.
After the bombing of important targets was completed, the helicopters began to strafe one after another. The attack planes returned home first due to fuel problems, while the transport planes took on the task of destroying the last ones.
Seeing the continuous shipyards, the pilots itched one by one. But they could not drop petrol bombs, they were ordered not to bomb air defense positions, artillery positions, targets that were unexpected by battleships, but only strafing.
Inside the harbor, the flames on the battleship had basically been extinguished, and had not spread to the cabins, and although the white phosphorus deck was pitted, it did not burn these iron guys.
Unfortunately, none of them were able to leave. The two inshore defense ships that crashed into the dock were no longer able to pull out the damaged bow with their own strength, and the other four frigates and two inshore defense keys that rushed to the shoal, only two inshore defense ships did not capsize, just so high and high, standing crooked on the shallows, and the remaining four frigates had a slender silver hull and capsized in the shallows.
As the flames gradually extinguished, the crew fled the ship and climbed ashore in the mud, but they did not know where to flee for their lives.
The flames everywhere in Havana, the killing god was still raging in the air, and when they saw people with guns or wearing military uniforms, they were all torn apart by bullets, but they were very safe here.
They took refuge in the bushes on the shore and watched the smoke fill the harbor while waiting for the air raids to end.
At this time, Dong Ku had already led the team to infiltrate Havana, he and Zuo Boyang were in a group, with twenty soldiers of the Guards Company, No. 5 with a group of thirty people, No. 7 with a group of thirty people, and No. 8 with the same thirty people, they sneaked into several mansions, cleaned up the people inside, and waited for the attack to come.
Dong Ku quickly contacted the Huya warriors lurking here to learn about the situation after the air raid. When he learned that the Texas could not leave the harbor and that eight warships had run aground, he smiled with satisfaction.
These few battleships were left behind, and his strength was enough to support them. Especially the Texas, which is also a battleship, albeit a little older.
Knowing about the situation in Havana, Dong Ku asked about the situation of the airborne there. At this time, the ten airboats have completed the task of unloading, and under the supervision of the helicopter, they take off and float towards the clouds, and it is expected that in ten minutes, they can return to Mongolia.
The artillery, all unloaded, with a sufficient number of shells and anti-aircraft guns, but there was a lack of trucks to tow the artillery, but for the time being, these guns did not need to be transported in a hurry, they were erected on the gravel-paved positions, and if Havana did not take them, they did not have to leave.
Artillery pieces were erected in the sugar cane fields, and shells were brought closer to the front. Radar, also began to be debugged, fire control did not, but did not delay the application of radar.
As long as they roar, Bibao will destroy the American warships on the sea, even if they don't need to control the fire with 100 cannons, it is enough to destroy the warship group at sea. (To be continued......)
