"You didn't go to the Icestorm Peninsula, you don't know ...... over there"

"Have you been?" Zhou Yongtao was obviously a little unconvinced, and felt that Shenpu was bragging, after all, Shenpu's boastful appearance looked like bragging. ◢ with * dream ◢ small *.lā

Shen Pu was stunned for a moment before he said, "I haven't been there, but when I was conducting dressing training, I met a few officers who came back from the front line. According to them, the armored units of the Janissaries were able to sing all the way, and the army aviation, especially the bomber units, was a great meritorious. ”

"Really?"

Zhou Yongtao was obviously still not convinced, but Shenpu was so honest that he couldn't refute it.

"Molotov cocktails, and special incendiary bombs." Zhu Huasheng continued. "I tried it in Tianzhou first, and after finding that the effect was good, I used it on a large scale in the whole city and other places. According to the officers, the entire city burned down after the bombing. ”

"Burned the city to the ground!?" Zhou Yongtao's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that he looked at Zhu Huasheng.

"Everything that could be burned was burned, even the walls and roadbeds were blown up. There was an officer who had been around the city and took a few pictures and showed it to us. According to him, the bombing was carried out at night, with several hundred bombers entering in batches and dropping nearly a thousand tons of incendiary bombs in just over an hour. The fire burned all night, lighting up the entire night sky, which could be seen from tens of kilometers away. By the time the ground troops arrived, not to mention resistance, the roads outside the city were full of refugees who had fled overnight, many of whom were not even clothed. ”

"There is no way to count how many people have died. However, after occupying the whole city, the Praetorian Guard only sheltered and treated less than 3,000 refugees. According to information obtained before the war, the army guarding the city at that time consisted of 50,000 officers and soldiers, as well as about 300,000 residents. ”

Zhu Huasheng only said halfway, followed by Shenpu's supplement.

After saying that, both of them sighed, and they seemed to be in a depressed mood, or they were shocked by such a cruel way of warfare.

"Of the 350,000 people, there are only 3,000 ......" Zhou Yongtao was already dumbfounded, and he didn't even finish his words.

"If you really want to say that the Praetorian Guard was able to capture Puju quickly, it also relied on incendiary bombs. If I had to guess, at least 10,000 tons were thrown at Buju. ”

"Buju is not that big, 5,000 tons is enough. Don't forget, it's the depths of winter, and even indoors, it's tightly wrapped. If the hands and feet are not dexterous, if this fire burns, who will be able to escape? Even if you escape, when the fire is extinguished, you will starve to death if you don't freeze to death! ”

"Speaking of which, that's really miserable."

"That's right, think about it, Buju is such a big place, so many people are crowded together, especially on the pier, and the Molotov cocktail is dropped ......"

"What incendiary bombs?" At this time, Bai Zhizhan opened his mouth to ask.

Shen Pu and Zhu Huasheng were both stunned, and the two only cared about bragging and ignored the point.

"I heard that gasoline was the main ingredient, and accelerants such as aluminum powder, white phosphorus, and sulfur were added, and then somehow made into a semi-solidified state, and it was said that it was an additive. After the explosion, it will first fly in all directions before being ignited by the high temperature. According to the officers, as long as it is stained, it cannot be extinguished at all, and it is even more terrible when it encounters objects that can be burned, and it will burn even more violently when it encounters water. ”

"So ruthless!?"

"Don't say that, it's not ruthless. An officer in charge of logistics told us that an army-funded arsenal had developed more powerful incendiary bombs, but it just couldn't be mass-produced. When the production process is solved, there are more shrimp to suffer. ”

"How ruthless?"

"We've also heard that after an explosion, it can instantly consume oxygen in the vicinity, suffocating people within the explosion range."

Is this still a bomb!?

Zhou Yongtao blinked, his expression was shocked.

However, his expression has never changed, and he has always been in shock.

"What about the bombers?" The White Stop War changed the subject.

In fact, the Navy also studied incendiary bombs, but finally gave up.

The reason is also simple, the threat to battleships from incendiary bombs is not very great.

Perhaps there is still a little value in dealing with aircraft carriers, such as burning and destroying flight decks, destroying aircraft in open air and open hangars. It's just that, compared with the powerful aviation armor-piercing shells and aviation torpedoes, it is difficult for incendiary bombs to cause permanent damage to battleships.

In addition, the battleship has flammable and explosive materials on it, do you need to use incendiary bombs specifically?

In naval battles in the dreadnought era, most of the battleships that were sunk caught fire after being shot, and many were sunk by explosion.

Besides, bombing the narrow territory is the task of the army air force, and it has little to do with the navy, so there is no need to care about what bombs are used.

Relatively speaking, Bai Zhizhan was still quite interested in the army's bombers.

Probably under the influence of Li Yunxiang, Bai Zhizhan has always been very interested in heavy bombers, otherwise he would not have instigated He Pengfei to build a large aircraft.

Although heavy bombers cannot get on aircraft carriers, they are not completely useless for the Navy.

Compared with carrier-based aircraft, heavy bombers have two unparalleled advantages, ultra-long range and super bomb-carrying capacity.

From a tactical point of view, the navy will have to deal with enemy military bases on the islands, such as the impregnable fortress of Tuk.

After entering the strategic offensive stage, especially after the war with the Newland Federation, it was able to use the island as a base and advance eastward step by step.

At this time, heavy bombers will be able to come in handy.

When bombing enemy island bases, heavy bombers can depart from rear airfields and drop bombs equivalent to several, or even a dozen, carrier-based aircraft at a time. The point is that there will be no conflict with the fleet, and there will be no need for the fleet to cooperate, and it will not have an impact on the fleet's operations.

Bai Zhizhan had always hoped that the Navy would provide some funds for the development of heavy bombers.

It's a pity that it's always been just "hope".

Unlike the Army, the Navy really has no money. Just the development of carrier-based aircraft and the construction of all kinds of warships hollowed out the navy.

In addition, from the point of view of the urgency of the demand, carrier-based aircraft must also be given priority.

What's more, Shousuke also made arrangements.

All in all, in the years before the war, the Navy did not purchase heavy bombers at all, in fact, not even twin-engine medium bombers.

From the point of view at that time, even if there was a need in the future, it would be enough to buy the army's bombers directly.

Follow the example of the Narrow-Wing Navy and make a heavy torpedo machine like the Type 96 land attack?

This is obviously not possible.

It has always been the Imperial Navy that has been emulating the Imperial Navy, when will it be the turn of the Narrow Navy to be a teacher?

The key thing is that the Imperial Navy has always considered the Type 96 land attack to be a medium-sized bomber, and its performance is very bad, and it is not worth referring to at all.

If there is a need for heavy attack aircraft deployed on land airfields, such bombers as the B-25 of the Newland Federation should also be used as a standard.

As for the sea attack, carrier-based aircraft are enough, there is no such thing as bombers.

Of course, that was only before the war.

A major war has broken out and is about to enter the strategic offensive stage, and the formation of shore-based aviation units should also be considered.

Then, it is obviously wise to learn from the army, or rather, to gain the army's actual combat experience.
