ps: The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, if you have a good look, enjoy the monthly pass...... Tonight will be more, but it will be later!

It is absolutely wrong to say that the United States was not prepared for the air raids, at least the Empire State Building made corresponding preparations, and deployed anti-aircraft machine guns, 20mm anti-aircraft guns, and searchlights on the roof of the building -- all of which were urgently installed after being threatened by war half a month ago. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Not only does the Empire State Building have a strict security regime in place, but it also arranges National Guard soldiers to be on duty on a daily basis based on duty lists. In addition to a series of anti-aircraft facilities on the roof, the basement was also vacated underground. The problem is that although there is no shortage of equipment, there are far from enough soldiers who can operate these weapons, and the National Guard is urgently recruited, has only received the most basic operational training, and the hit rate against fixed targets in broad daylight is only 2 to 3 percent, and in the dark in the face of bombers, there is naturally no accurate head and empty cannons.

In fact, it is normal for them to miss, and the anti-aircraft fire of battleships and aircraft carriers is much more blazing than that of the Empire State Building, so they can't dodge dive bombers? After all, it is far easier for a bomber to deal with a fixed, high-rise building with a significant target than a warship that floats on the sea and is agile and maneuverable.

After discovering the Empire State Building, a formation of He-218 immediately swooped down, and 3 bombs accurately hit the building: one exploded in the upper part, and the strong vibration not only blew the windows and glass to pieces, but also drilled a large hole directly in the outer wall, and the other two exploded on the middle floor, separated by less than 3 floors from each other, and after smashing several key steel support columns, the building was crumbling, and it seemed that the wind was about to fall down if it blew again.

The three pilots who accurately hit the target happily pulled the plane up, but as soon as it was leveled, they heard Mitsuo Fuchida's angry scolding on the radio: "You group of red deer, didn't wake up or what?" You didn't blow up the Empire State Building, it was the Chrysler Building! Let you read the manual carefully, I don't know where to read! ”

The pilots and bombardiers looked closely below, and they also knew that they had found the wrong target: the Chrysler Building and the Empire State Building were not far away, and the shape was very close, but they were still slightly lower overall, and more importantly, the Chrysler Building was decorated with stainless steel metal on the top of its head, like a car radiator cap, which would glow brightly in the light. A few people shrunk their necks, didn't dare to squeak, and thought aggrievedly: There are so many high-rise buildings in New York, and it is the first time for us to come, so it is normal to find the wrong one!

"Second group!"

The second group was the German pilots, they did not find the wrong target, the three planes quickly met the aimless anti-aircraft fire on the top of the building, the first plane was the first to drop the bomb, the means are so superb that even Mitsuo Fuchida could not help but exclaim: "Excellent!" ”

I saw that the 500-kilogram high-explosive bomb first penetrated directly from the top of the Empire State Building, and under the dual action of speed and gravity, it penetrated through the partition of seven reinforced concrete floors in a row, and exploded directly inside the building. And that's not all, after the first plane finished dropping the bomb, the next two planes rushed down one after another, and also dropped the bomb on the top of the Empire State Building, and both came to bloom. Germany has a long history of using the Stuka and is more advanced and accurate than the Japanese pilots in the field of dive bombing!

Under the continuous bombardment of three bombs, the entire building looked relatively intact, but the middle and upper sides had been blown into ruins, and the 380-meter-high Empire State Building was cut off - now almost as tall as the Chrysler Building.

"Group 3!"

This time the appearance is all ju-98, although the horizontal attack aircraft bombing accuracy is a little worse, but they can't stand their high bomb load, in the hands of high-level pilots accuracy can still be guaranteed, five consecutive 800 kg aerial bombs dropped from the air, all exploded within a radius of about 50 meters from the Empire State Building, blowing up the surrounding buildings into a mess, each bomb down is like a violent earthquake, only to see more than 300 meters of high buildings will shake this way, one will shake that way, Barely standing, but fragile.

By the time of the 9th JU-98, the god of fate finally favored him: the bomb passed through the podium on the ground floor of the Empire State Building, and only exploded under the basement, and under the action of hundreds of kilograms of explosives, several of the overall load-bearing support columns were blown off, and the whole building could no longer support it, and collapsed directly from the sky, and a mushroom cloud mixed with dust, cement, bricks and steel suddenly rose from the ground! After the mushroom cloud cleared, everyone stared at the location of the Empire State Building, which had been almost razed to the ground, and was speechless for a long time.

At the same time as the Empire State Building collapsed, the battle for the Brooklyn Bridge was in its final stages.

After finding and clarifying the target, Shigeharu Murata, the king of lightning strikes, personally led six attack planes loaded with torpedoes to pounce away, and at this time New York City was already in chaos, all anti-aircraft firepower and searchlights were shaking indiscriminately in the air, and no one noticed that there were six planes in a column less than 40 meters high on the East River galloping forward.

The first plane soon entered the standard range of 700 meters from the bridge pier, and the results of many days of hard training on Socotra Island finally came to fruition, and the bombardier in the back seat immediately pressed the launch switch, and a 450mm aviation torpedo fell into the water, splashing waves more than ten meters high, and the pilot only felt that the whole plane was light, and began to climb high and break away before he had time to check the results.

In the process of climbing high, the torpedo, which had fallen more than 10 meters under the water in one breath, began to float, and then rushed forward desperately under the impetus of the thermal combustion chamber -- in order to ensure the effect, the torpedo was generally set to a depth of more than 6 meters. More than 20 seconds later, the torpedo accurately hit the pier, and after the loud "boom", it stirred up a column of rushing water, and Murata Shigeharu saw very clearly, not only the steel cable used to fix the main body of the bridge shook violently, but even the bridge body also faintly drifted.

A taxi speeding across the bridge nearly hit the railing due to the shaking of the bridge deck.

"Oh God...... What the hell is going on! The driver instinctively stopped the car, pointed out the window, the scene of the collapse of the Empire State Building, and exclaimed.

The sleepy engineer in the back seat woke up from his sleep, jumped out of the car, put up the pergola with his hand to observe the scene outside, and looked back at the red-colored harbor area, where he went to work, glad he had escaped.

didn't have time to sigh more, he jumped in the car, patted the driver's seat back and shouted: "Quick, run!" Otherwise we're all going to die here! ”

The driver immediately started with floor oil, and the roar of the engine could not drown out the distant explosion - after the collapse of the Empire State Building, the target of the Axis cluster fire was changed to Rockefeller Center, where 250-, 500-, and 800-kilogram aerial bombs and incendiary bombs were flying indiscriminately.

As they were speeding away, the second torpedo hit the bridge pier again, this time the eruption of water column was higher, rushing directly to the bridge deck, the taxi not only felt a shaking underground, but also felt a large cloud of water crackling and spraying on the roof of the car, and the two were so frightened that they were desperately fleeing.

Articles 3, 4 and 5...... In just 2 minutes, all 5 planes attacked, except for the fourth torpedo that did not hit the bridge pier and finally blew up, the rest were all hit, everyone could see clearly, the whole Brooklyn bridge was shaking desperately, but it just didn't fall.

Now only Murata Shigeharu still had a torpedo, and he had circled in the air several times, trying to find a way to kill with one blow, and there was no better option - he was not a bridge engineer after all, and he still had a torpedo.

"Sir, what should I do? Will this work? The bombardier asked anxiously.

Murata gritted his teeth and said: "This bridge is so famous, the Americans must have built it strongly, it doesn't matter, let's try again." ”

I saw him further lower the altitude, lowered the plane to a height of only 20 meters, and rushed towards the pier, 700 meters, 600 meters, 500 meters, until 300 meters, and did not give the order to launch a torpedo.

The rest of the crew was completely stunned: just now all the planes flew at the pier in the center of the river and fired torpedoes, why did the commander's plane fly at another pier? Is he going to attack in a different way? Moreover, why don't you throw torpedoes so closely, even if you can explode at that time, there will be no impact effect, sir?

After a while, they finally understood that the commander was going to use an unbelievable offensive method - it was very dangerous to do so, but since he was called the lightning strike king, Murata Shigeharu naturally had a different special ability and grasp.

Everyone held their breath and watched when there were still about 200 meters away from the pier on the other side, Shigeharu Murata controlled the plane to slowly deflect the wings, the lowest was less than 15 meters from the water surface, and the height of the restabilized plane was only more than 20 meters, and now he flew towards the diagonal line of the pier he had just attacked, and the angle between the two was about 60 degrees. After receiving the task, Murata Shigeharu carefully read the data: the two piers have a clear span of 486 meters, and flying and throwing torpedoes at the current diagonal line can still ensure that the torpedoes have a range of more than 400 meters.

"Ready!"

"Launch!" The bombardier waited for Shigeharu Murata's order.

The last torpedo pulled out a white line and flew towards the other side of the pier. (To be continued.) )
