Chapter 665: Tomahawk Cruise Missile Bombardment

The Soviet-made SS-1 surface-to-missile (i.e., the Scud missile) has an attack range of about 190 miles.

If you want to have a longer range, you can tie two 'Scud' missiles together by welding, as was the case in Iraq later, and then you can increase the range of Scud missiles to more than 300 kilometers.

However, the disadvantage is that the accuracy of the attack is very low, so Chen Yanlong's temporary deployment of the Scud missile launch position in the port of Ceuta ordered Rommel and the missile launch group to only use one Scud missile after another to attack.

When the first round of German air raids began, the first wave of German attacks was to bomb airfields in the English Channel.

Under the huge air raid, the British airfield that was caught off guard was bombed with blazing flames, and one after another British Spitfire planes were also blown up in an instant and turned into blazing scrap metal, burning on the airfield.

Even those British planes that were able to take off in time and were ready to fight back were destroyed one by one by the German Air Force, which had superior quantity and quality, and shot down in the air, spilling blood all over the sky.

At the same time, the German SB2C dive bomber group and the Boeing B-52 long-range bomber group were also indiscriminately bombing the British defenses throughout the English Channel; In particular, the Germans also used concrete burst bombs to blow some particularly strong fortifications and pillboxes into rubble, or even raze them to the ground.

"Our air force has already started attacking, should we also launch missile attacks?"

When the first wave of German sorties dropped almost 2,000 tons of bombs, a launcher at the Scud bomb launch base was questioning their commander, Colonel Carlisle.

"Wait for Marshal Rommel's order to launch, and he will inform us when the attack will be launched!"

The commander, Colonel Carlisle, nodded lightly as he observed the bombardment in the English Channel.

"Boom! Rumble ......"

At this moment, one after another Tomahawk cruise missiles were launched from the Boeing B-52 long-range bomber group at lightning speed, roaring and bombing into the important military facilities, barracks, headquarters, logistics supply depots, and grain storage sites of the British army in the English Channel.

The sound of explosions continued to rise and fall, constantly reaping the lives of one British soldier after another, including the engineering teams and civilian workers who had been hired to build fortifications here.

Of course, the most powerful bombing was the British army's army station, logistics supply area, and grain storage place; As well as a wide range of military facilities.

Even some of the ships that had just arrived to support the operation were killed by the Tomahawk cruise missiles launched by the Germans, sinking into the sea and feeding the fish.

In the early 70s of the 20th century, because of the rapid development of high-tech such as microelectronics, small aero engines, and stealth technology, the General Dynamics Company of the United States developed a strike weapon in depth outside the defense zone in 1972, that is, the "Tomahawk" cruise missile applied to sea-based, air-based and land-based versions.

The Air Force version of the Tomahawk cruise missiles are: AGM-109H (attacking ground airfields) and AGM-109K (attacking sea ship targets).

As for the navy-type Tomahawk cruise missiles, they are: AGM-109I (attacking ships, ground targets), AGM-109J (attacking ground targets), AGM-109L (attacking sea/ground fortified targets).

Chen Yanlong secretly exchanged 2,000 of these "Tomahawk" cruise missiles with his smartphone, which were used to specifically attack the aircraft carrier fleet in the English Channel, as well as buildings that are particularly difficult to blow up in the English Channel.

However, the current attack is only aimed at the British and American aircraft carrier fleets that come to support, and the main missile attack firepower in the English Channel still has to be handed over to the Scud missiles for attack.

Although a vehicle-mounted Scud launch base is temporarily deployed, it is still capable of launching attacks within a few days.

"This is the most advanced missile of our Führer? Their destructive power is terrifying! It seems to be faster and more powerful than these Scud missiles that we are going to launch! ”

Looking at the explosive power of the "Tomahawk" cruise missiles that were rapidly attacking the small fleet of British troops and the main military facilities in the English Channel, they were simply shocked to the extreme, and they were very envious of the navy and aviation forces for obtaining such powerful missiles for use in combat.

"Yes! Luckily, we still have Bushao Scud missiles, if we can not only attack with the original V1 and V2 missiles; I'm afraid we're really too far behind, and we don't have much accuracy! ”

In this regard, the commander, Colonel Carlisle, also gazed at the powerful "Tomahawk" cruise missiles with envy and nodded in agreement.

"Report sir! Marshal Rommel called, so that we could carry out a bombing attack right away! ”

"Please, sir, give the order!"

It was these missile communicators who hurried to Colonel Carlisle to make a report.

"Good!"

"All the Scuds, and the crews are ready to launch the Scud missiles!"

"We must ensure accuracy, and we must bomb more British military targets!"

The commander, Colonel Carlisle, immediately gave the order.

With his radio command, all the missile groups were immediately ready to launch Scud missiles to attack the target they had locked onto.

"Launch!"

As soon as all the missile launch groups had their targets locked and their firing calculations were calculated, the commander, Colonel Carlisle, gave the order to fire.

As soon as the order was given, one Scud missile launcher after another was launched, blasting at the target they had locked.

The ground equipment of the Scud missile mainly consists of a three-purpose vehicle for transporting vertical launches, with a chassis of MAz-543LTM, a length of 12 meters, a width of almost 3 meters, and a height of 2 meters......

In addition, there are a large number of ground survey vehicles, command vehicles, power supply vehicles, propellant filling vehicles, test vehicles, fire trucks, etc.

The main offensive role of those Scud-B missiles that had just been launched by the German army was to attack the British army's airfields, missile launch sites, command centers, military facilities, troop concentration areas, and transportation hubs.

However, the launch procedure of these Scud missiles takes as little as 45 minutes from predicting the position, erection, filling, inspection, withdrawal of the vehicle to ignition and launch.

Moreover, before the war, it even took up to 1-2 hours, so when the German army deployed these Scud missile launchers, it was a few hours in advance, or even a day.

When the first wave of German Scud missiles bombarded the British garrison, the entire English Channel was overwhelmed by the sound of explosions and a monstrous sea of fire.

The entire English Channel was enveloped in billowing smoke and the terrifying sound of explosions, a hellish spectacle......
