Chapter 436: The Despair of the Southern Soldiers
After the Stuka dive bombers were ready, they began their deadly mission. The most distinctive features of this bomber are its unique double-curved wings like a seagull, its sturdy and stable landing gear, and its terrifying low scream.
This whistling sound is not only a signal of the approach of the bomber, but also a psychological oppression and deterrence to the enemy soldiers. On the right side of the Stuka's canopy, there is a special angle display installed. With this device, the pilot can accurately adjust the angle and height of the dive to ensure accurate strikes on the target.
"Prepare to drop 250 kg heavy armor-piercing shells to carry out a devastating precision strike on the enemy's concrete fortresses!" The Stuka bombers began to accelerate and dive towards the enemy's positions. They were like a group of ferocious falcons, carrying the breath of death, challenging those solid concrete fortresses.
As the bombers approached the target, they began to adjust the angle of their bombings. Heavy armor-piercing bombs weighing 250 kilograms were ejected from the bomb bays, streaking across the sky like meteors and falling towards the dome and outer walls of the fortress. Every bomb that landed was accompanied by a deafening explosion, and flames and thick smoke rose into the sky, dyeing the surrounding sky orange-red.
The effect of the explosion was devastating. The concrete fortress was blasted with heavy armor-piercing shells, and the walls and dome were blown to pieces, with debris flying everywhere. The soldiers inside the fortress were engulfed by the shock wave of the explosion, and some of them died before they could even scream.
Under the superb driving skills of the pilots of the 1st and 2nd Bomber Squadrons, an unprecedented "air death wheel" tactic was staged in the air. Sixty Stuka bombers formed a tight formation, forming a huge circle, circling over the enemy positions and continuously launching fierce bombardment on the enemy's concrete fortresses.
Every dive and pull-up of the bomber was accompanied by the heavy sound of bombs being dropped and the deafening sound of explosions. These sounds intertwined together to form the most shocking melody on the battlefield. The continuous bombing for 20 minutes made the entire enemy position seem to be engulfed in a sea of fire.
Under the heavy bombing of aerial bombs, the sturdy concrete fortresses collapsed like paper and turned into ruins.
As the bombing progressed, the enemy positions began to sink in large areas. The originally flat land became charred and covered with fragments of the fortress and shell craters. The smoke was filled with smoke, and the billowing smoke rose into the sky, covering the sky, giving people a feeling of doomsday. This bombing not only caused huge casualties and destruction to the enemy, but also brought a strong visual impact and psychological shock to everyone who paid attention to the battlefield situation.
The precise strikes and devastating bombing by the Stuka bombers, coupled with the pilots' clever use of tactics, inflicted an unprecedented blow on the enemy positions.
The successful implementation of this "air death wheel" tactic not only demonstrated the bravery and superb skills of the pilots, but also laid a solid foundation for victory on the battlefield.
Looking at the concrete fortress on the enemy's position below, which had been mostly destroyed, Li Haman issued a new order again: "Bomb the air-raid shelter at the end of the enemy's trench position and replace the Earth-Diving Dragon No. 1 earth-penetrating bomb. I want to make these rats hiding in the caves taste the taste of despair!"
Under Li Hamman's order, the two bomber squadrons shifted their targets. The so-called Dundilong No. 1 bunker-buster bomb was a new type of aerial bunker-buster bomb developed by the Northern Xinjiang Military Science and Technology Research Institute. The reason why the bunker-buster bomb can drill deep into the ground is due to its powerful kinetic energy.
The kinetic energy of an object is greatly affected by its speed. If two objects of a certain mass collide at a relatively high relative speed, they will have a huge destructive force. If the two colliding objects do not have a strong enough shell to support them, they will be deformed and destroyed because they cannot withstand the external force.
If one of the objects has a solid outer shell that can protect its internal structure from damage during the collision, then this object will not be damaged and may exert a strong squeezing force on the other object and penetrate into the interior of the object being collided.
The bunker buster uses this principle to drill deep into the ground. The depth of the bunker buster is closely related to its weight, the shape of the head, the angle and speed of the impact target.
The shell of a bunker buster is usually made of high-strength materials, and a heat-resistant layer is applied on the inner and outer surfaces of the shell. In this way, when the high-speed bunker buster reaches the ground, its shell will not be broken, and the bunker buster will continue to drill downwards along the direction of the sharp warhead relying on its own huge kinetic energy.
The so-called delayed fuse of a bunker-buster bomb is, in simple terms, a device that detonates the warhead. The fuse of a bunker-buster bomb can ensure that the bunker-buster bomb is in a safe state at ordinary times and will not explode. When it drills into a certain depth underground, it can work according to specific instructions to detonate the warhead in time and produce an explosion.
Each of the jet-black, metallic-gloss Dundilong-25 earth-penetrating bombs weighs about kilograms, is roughly shaped like an adult's thigh, and is centimeters long. These bombs were dropped accurately on the ground, and each one contained enormous destructive power.
The warhead of Dundilong No. 1 was carefully made of high-strength steel. This special material allowed it to quickly penetrate the soft soil as easily as cutting into tofu dregs the moment it hit the ground. The bomb quickly drilled into the ground, penetrated the rammed earth layer above the enemy's air-raid shelter, and finally fell inside the air-raid shelter, which was about 300 square meters in area.
The moment it fell into the air-raid shelter, the bomb exploded, causing a violent explosion. The entire air-raid shelter was blown to the point of collapse, cracks appeared on the walls, and dirt and rocks flew everywhere.
At this time, every air-raid shelter in the Southern Government's position was densely packed with thousands of soldiers. In such a dense situation with enemy soldiers, the sudden explosion of ten kilograms of high explosives would cause tremendous destructive power that can be imagined.
At the center of the explosion, the soldiers were engulfed by the shock wave, and many of them died before they could even scream. And those soldiers who were a little further away from the center of the explosion were also surrounded by the flames and smoke produced by the explosion. They ran around, trying to escape this place of death.
The entire southern government position fell into chaos and panic. The soldiers lost their former order and discipline and fled everywhere, trying to find a safe shelter. However, facing such a fierce bombing, they seemed to have nowhere to escape.
Thousands of soldiers were killed by continuous bombings of bunker-penetrating bombs. The tops of the air-raid shelters were constantly penetrated, and explosions were heard one after another. Those soldiers who had escaped by chance were also seriously injured and covered with scars. In the end, the collapse of the air-raid shelters buried them completely. Their deaths were full of pain and despair. It was like a purgatory on earth, which was unbearable to watch.
The air-raid shelter was full of broken limbs, blood and flesh flying everywhere, and it was a mess. The emotions of the Southern government soldiers completely collapsed at this moment. They could no longer bear such casualties and losses. A large number of surviving soldiers crawled out of the air-raid shelter, holding up white flags, kneeling in the trenches, their eyes full of despair and helplessness.
This air raid and bombing made the soldiers of the Southern Government deeply realize that the war between the Northern Frontier and the Southern Government was an extremely unequal contest. They felt the dimensionality reduction attack of the advanced civilization on the backward country, and they were powerless to turn the tide.
