Chapter 870 Air Raid March
As the command was issued, the Grand Slam bombs, pushed by the mechanical arms, slowly slid out of the magazine and fell towards the target area below. They drew beautiful arcs in the air, like meteors across the night sky, but their destination was destruction and death.
The Grand Slam bombs accelerated their fall under the force of gravity, getting faster and faster, getting closer and closer to the ground. The huge energy they carried was completely released at this moment. When they touched the ground, the entire battlefield seemed to be shaken by this force. The explosion was deafening, and the flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the night sky like day.
Following Lin Qiang's order, the bombers of the Tianlong formation swooped down like giant eagles, dropping Grand Slam bombs accurately from an altitude of 330 meters. These behemoths, pulled by the earth's gravity, cut through the night sky at an astonishing speed, gradually approaching the speed of sound - meters per second, like black lightning, directly hitting the core of the Fuso position.
At the end of the descent, the Grand Slam bombs showed their most terrifying side. They were no longer simple falling objects, but messengers of death, with unparalleled power, tearing the surface of the earth at a sharp angle of nearly 90 degrees. The hard rock layer and concrete dome were like fragile paper in front of them and were pierced in an instant.
Under the surface, the enemy's underground fortifications were painstakingly built. Those defense facilities that were once thought to be impregnable were now like lambs to be slaughtered, with no ability to fight back. The Grand Slam bombs penetrated the foundations of the buildings with an unstoppable force, accompanied by a deafening roar, and the entire underground world seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force.
When the bombs came into contact with the solid structure underground, their energy was fully released. A violent explosion occurred instantly, accompanied by dazzling light and billowing smoke, and the underground fortifications were blown to pieces. A huge cavity was formed in the explosion, as if the earth had opened a huge mouth and swallowed everything. Those once solid walls and supporting columns disappeared at this moment, leaving only twisted metal and broken stones scattered all over the ground.
The shock wave generated by the explosion spread wantonly inside the underground fortifications, dragging all movable objects into this destructive storm. The air waves surged, the sea of fire raged, and the entire underground space was shrouded in flames and thick smoke, turning into a hell on earth. Under this sudden attack, the enemy was unable to organize an effective resistance at all, and could only wail and struggle in despair, and finally disappeared in the sea of fire and ruins.
The continuous explosion of more than 30 Grand Slam bombs brought unprecedented devastating damage to the Fuso position. The entire underground fortification was almost razed to the ground, and the enemy's command system, material reserves, and personnel deployment were all devastated.
After completing the bombing mission, Lin Qiang looked through the porthole and observed the explosion on the battlefield below with a keen eye. The flames shot up into the sky, the smoke filled the air, and the huge explosion crater was clearly visible, which indicated that the bombing mission of the Tianlong formation had achieved initial success. He quickly opened the tactical map, compared the real-time images, and evaluated the results of the battle, with a barely perceptible smile on his face.
"Report, the Griffin and Tianlong formations have completed their bombing mission and the target area has been severely damaged." The adjutant's voice sounded in the headset, interrupting Lin Qiang's thoughts.
"Very good, but the battle is not over yet." Lin Qiang responded calmly, his eyes already on the next target, "Storm Formation, prepare to turn to target area No. 3. What we are going to destroy next is Nanyun Chuichi's underground headquarters."
"Storm Formation received, we are adjusting our course, target area number three." The commander of the Storm Formation responded quickly, while commanding the bombers in the formation to change their flight trajectory and head towards the new target.
Deep inside the Fuso position, in Chuichi Nagumo's underground headquarters, the atmosphere was extremely tense. Explosions were heard from afar, one after another, like the drumbeats of death, beating everyone's heart.
Nagumo Chuichi stood in the center of the operations room, clenching his fists.
"What's the situation with the radar system?" He turned suddenly and asked the technician next to him.
"Sir, the radar system is suffering from severe interference and is almost ineffective. It is unable to accurately detect the location of enemy aircraft." The technician answered tremblingly.
Nanyun Chuichi's face darkened, but he quickly regained his composure.
He knew that every second was crucial at this moment. "Immediately withdraw some troops from the underground fortifications and head to the designated safe area." Nagumo Chuichi gave the order decisively.
"But sir, it's very dangerous outside. We..." the staff officer at the side hesitated.
"I know!" Nanyun Chuichi interrupted him, "But it's just as dangerous to stay here. We can't pin all our hopes on these concrete and steel. Once the enemy's bunker-buster bombs break through the defense, the consequences will be disastrous. Tell the troops to disperse and hide to minimize losses."
"Yes, sir!" The staff officer immediately took the order and began to convey Nagumo Chuichi's order.
At the same time, a large number of evacuated soldiers began to emerge at the entrance of the underground fortifications. They looked nervous, walked hurriedly, and dispersed in different directions. Nanyun Chuichi stood on a high place, watching this scene, with mixed feelings in his heart.
At this moment, high in the sky, Lin Qiang has led the Storm Formation and quietly approached the target area No. 3. They are carrying a new mission and are ready to give the enemy a heavy blow again. This air strike has just begun...
Just as the three bomber formations were approaching target area No. 3 like ghosts and were about to launch a new round of attacks, the observer suddenly sent an urgent report to Lin Qiang: "Sir, a large number of enemy personnel were found to be evacuating from the underground fortifications. The number is huge and it seems that they are evacuating completely."
Hearing this, Lin Qiang couldn't help but sneer. He had already expected that under such a fierce air raid, the enemy commander would definitely adopt such a strategy in order to protect himself.
But this was exactly what he wanted - to throw the enemy into confusion and fear, making it impossible for them to form an effective resistance.
"Very good, this is our chance." Lin Qiang said in a deep voice, and then quickly adjusted the tactical layout, "Prepare the Storm Formation, turn immediately, change the target to the ground enemy evacuation units, and perform the high-explosive bomb delivery mission. We must let these deserters know that no matter where they flee to, they cannot escape from our grasp."
"Storm Formation received, immediately adjust course and prepare to drop high-explosive bombs." The commander of the Storm Formation responded through the communication equipment.
As the order was issued, the 64 Stuka bombers of the Storm Formation quickly changed their flying posture and swooped down on the enemy evacuation team on the ground like a group of hungry vultures.
They passed low over the sky, the roar of their engines deafening, blending with the impending symphony of death.
"Drop bombs!" With the order from the commander of the Storm Formation, high-explosive bombs poured down from the belly of the bomber, hitting the enemy like raindrops. Explosions came one after another, flames shot up into the sky, smoke filled the air, and the entire battlefield seemed to be engulfed by a sea of fire.
The enemy troops who were evacuating were completely thrown into disarray by the sudden attack. They fled in panic, only to find themselves surrounded by death. The impact of the explosion scattered the crowd, and the sound of crying for their parents was endless, but in this chaos and despair, they were unable to organize an effective counterattack.
