Chapter 363: The Bomb Left Behind
The bombs were dropped with precision, and the pilots in the air, who always remembered that their mission was to destroy the airfield, tried not to care about other ground fire interference. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The air raiders had already learned from Paul's reconnaissance that the airfield was not built on a flat area, but a clearing in the forest, at the end of which even partly extended into a pond.
When the air raid was real, many pilots saw clearly that this was simply a small airport. However, this clearing is indeed very abrupt in the vast forest (the other clearings are relatively small), and it must be useful for the Soviets to open up such a large clearing.
Adler noticed the frequent bullets fired in the forest, which were difficult to cause significant damage to an aircraft such as Stuka. He said to the commander: "My wingman and I have finished dropping bombs, now let's shoot at the forest!" ”
The request was granted immediately.
Before departure, the group commander said that it was necessary to pay attention to the area near the enemy's airfield. Since the enemy has chosen to drive, then return a tooth for a tooth.
Fighter jets were already firing at the forest with impunity, bullets crashing through the snow-covered pine trees and slamming into the ground like hailstones. Of course, this "hail" is a bullet with a speed of up to 1000 m / s.
All the dive bombers that completed the bomb dropping were also involved in the mass strafing.
The bombs exploded one after another, and the airfield shells turned into huge craters. The soil was lifted into the air, and debris and earth and rocks fell frequently. This, combined with the continuous strafing of German aircraft, created a huge chaos around the airfield.
Just before the attack began, there were at least a thousand people entrenched near the airfield. These are all soldiers, and they continue to carry all kinds of miscellaneous items like ants.
In the past few days, the vast number of villagers and many comrades-in-arms have been evacuated to deeper forests, and the secluded life is not comfortable. Many people complained, and even complained, that the Germans would not come to the air raids at all.
It is this sentiment that has spread to those who are still carrying out the work. Even though the division commanders and deputy division commanders came to inspect, everyone still looked a little slack.
Now all those who despise the enemy will pay a terrible price for it.
Speaking of which, it was very difficult to deal with the guerrillas hiding in the forest with air strikes, so much so that in the Vietnam War, the US military used defoliant frantically, so that the vast forest withered and the guerrillas had nowhere to hide. Or use high-tech weapons such as coagulated ******, thermobaric bombs, and cloudburst bombs.
It's a pity that the German army's current technology has not yet been cultivated to that level. In the case of the 1942 Stukka, which had not yet been fitted with aerial guns, they could only fight with 7.9 mm machine guns after dropping bombs.
Bullets poured into the forest, and many people were unlucky enough to be shot.
In the rain of bullets, the best way is to hide under the big tree, and Yang Mingzhi and the majority of soldiers did this. But the explosion continued to sweep around, and the snow on the pine trees was shaken off. Yang Mingzhi was unfortunate enough to be buried by the snow, which was really unexpected!
"It's a cheat! The German devils can't kill me, I can be suffocated by the snow. In the excitement, Yang Mingzhi frantically picked up the snow, which can be regarded as showing a head......
The German air raids were finally coming to an end, the bombs were all dropped, and the airfield was covered in dust. The blown soil and debris formed a cloud of mushrooms, and the morning sun shone on it, creating a bronze-colored cloud of dust.
A large amount of debris fell, the nearby snow was gradually dyed black, and a small piece of wood also smashed on the top of Yang Mingzhi's head, thanks to which he was wearing a hat.
Gradually, the German planes flew away, and they returned with victory. The dust gradually settled, and Yang Mingzhi, with the help of the soldiers, climbed out of the snowdrift.
Now, in front of him is a scene full of devastation, standing on the edge of the crater, he can feel the horror of the explosion just now.
Yang Mingzhi was stunned, his eyes widened, and he sighed: "These craters are like being attacked by a meteorite!" This airport is in ruins! ”
Why? Because, the crater in front of Yang Mingzhi has a diameter of at least twenty meters, and the depth is even more terrifying, and it must be seven or eight meters by visual inspection.
Because the soil in this area is soft and moist, the bomb can sink deep into the ground, and it explodes violently, causing more damage than pure dry land.
Most of the people were not injured in the attack. After the air raids ended, people returned to the airport one after another, witnessing the devastation in all aspects.
The runway of the airport has become uneven, and all the surrounding buildings have been destroyed by impact, and they are simply in a state of shattering. And what about the hangar? It was gone, and on its original site were four blackened, heavily smoky craters.
Yevlov was greatly shocked by the series of explosions just now. For several months, as a division commander, he had never witnessed such a tragic explosion.
When Yang Mingzhi saw him again, he saw that this person's hands were trembling.
"Really, the division commander seems to be frightened. Half a year ago, we experienced such heavy losses, I thought you had experienced those, and this time you will not be afraid again. ”
Yevlov was still trembling, and he tried to make his words clear. "Of course I'm not afraid, but my will is hard to control because of my physical reaction."
In fact, in the situation just now, the division commander was too close to the scene of the explosion, so that the shock wave of the explosion and the shaking of the earth made his whole body tremble and numb.
The two division commanders and deputy commanders were in charge, and a large number of soldiers were in charge, and their nervousness was gradually calmed.
Some brave soldiers, began to enter the crater for inspection. Suddenly, several people found out about the new situation, and they hurried back to report it.
"Report to the division commander, we found a bomb that did not explode!"
"Huh?!" Yang Mingzhi and Yevlov were taken aback.
Surprised, Yang Mingzhi immediately ordered: "Where is that bomb?" What kind of structure is that bomb? ”
The soldier described, and no one emphasized, that the bomb had a small fan at the end.
"It turned out to be an aerial bomb of this structure, with a penetrating energy supply." Yang Mingzhi's mind instantly came up with countermeasures. "Soldier, you lead the way. Armed with the necessary tools, we set off. ”
The soldier immediately stood up and saluted, his gun on his back, pointing in the direction of the bomb, ready to be this guide.
Yevlov grabbed Yang Mingzhi, who was about to leave, and said nervously: "Berekov, what are you going to do?" That bomb, it's dangerous. ”
"Defuse the bomb, of course? How? Are you terrified? ”
"How can you not be afraid! Are you crazy? Bombs can explode at any moment. You can't take the risk! ”
"The danger is of course. But the bomb will not explode! You have to trust me! If it had exploded, it would have exploded a long time ago. All I have to do is go and tear it down! Comrade division commander, there must be a hundred kilograms of high-energy explosives in there, don't you want it? ”
For some reason, the current Yang Mingzhi has a lot of courage in his body. If the star fruit is here now, or Natasha, the girls will definitely try their best to dissuade him, so he probably will give up going into battle in person. Now, no one is going to stop him, who else is this dangerous thing?
"Since I have come to this era, how can I easily return to the West? Besides, there are more bombs left over from World War II, many of which are left over into the 21st century. The bomb must have gotten stuck in the mud and the fuse was broken. Yang Mingzhi thought so, and as an example, he quickly gathered some brave soldiers to go with him.
When it comes to aerial bombs, Yang Mingzhi is well aware of their structure. As long as the tail fuse is removed, all problems will be gone. Because *** is a kind of explosive that is not too sensitive, it cannot be detonated by general collision friction.
The bold Yang Mingzhi followed the guidance of the soldiers and quickly arrived at the location of the bomb. Between it is like a pillar, inserted in the mud floor at the end of the airport. This is a runway created a few months ago, when soldiers cut down trees and threw them into a pond and filled them with soil because the airfield was not long enough. The soil was so soft that the bomb was stuck in the mud.
Around this iron lump, Yang Mingzhi knew that it had the possibility of soil explosion. If it really blows up, God knows if it's completely finished, or is it a new era?
Yang Mingzhi still has some tools in his hand, which were originally wrench pliers for repairing airplanes, and the tools have not yet been transported, and now they are just used to defuse bombs.
"Just remove this little fan!" Yang Mingzhi didn't have any distractions in his heart, he held the tool in his hand, unscrewed a few screws of the delayed fuse, and forcibly pulled out the fan and its bearing, which were used as the fuse insurance, and even pulled out the firing pin.
This work is very careful, and Yang Mingzhi is meticulous, so much so that a lot of sweat has condensed on his forehead on this cold day.
With the completion of the key part, the bearing was thrown to the ground, and Yang Mingzhi breathed a long sigh of relief at the crowd of onlookers. "Comrades, this bomb won't explode, you go and inform the division commander, prepare some sacks, we have to collect explosives!"
In the end, Yang Mingzhi personally dismantled the entire fuse, and he lay down at the mouth of the pitch-black hole and smelled that the inside of the bomb cavity was really neat and tidy explosives! 100 kilograms of explosives is enough to reload 200 RPGs, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. "If only they threw a few more duds!"
Yang Mingzhi was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, the air raid came as he wished, and I am afraid that the enemy will not come to trouble again for a period of time. Even, Balzen, who was already in a state of trial, their elite death squads, were able to take out the enemy's airfield. This group of Germans, who had just finished bombing, would even taste the bitter fruits a few days later.
Their airfield will also be blown upside down, and all the "eagles" lying on their stomachs will die on the ground.
We'll see! (To be continued.) )
