Chapter 533: Cluster Bombs
Almighty Cultivation Supreme
However, they have no choice, because they are soldiers, and since they are soldiers, they have to make it their duty to obey orders!
As a result, they could only watch the people fall into the water, watch the people struggle in the water, while their ships are getting farther and farther from the shore.
Their hearts are heavy.
At this time, the Junkers-88 bombers were still flying in the sky, and their targets were various nearby French military bases!
Brest, east, thirty kilometers, French air base.
When the sharp sirens sounded, there was tension inside the French air base.
This is the second-line air force, and there are almost no well-trained air force personnel at all, just a logistics training base, which is used to train junior pilots, and their backward biplanes, even if they take off, will not pose any threat.
Even so, the strike on this air base was still carried out as a priority, and in the alert on the ground, the Junkers-88 bomber had already flown over the sky.
"Knock knock," in one corner of the base, an anti-aircraft gun, opened fire fiercely!
The 20-mm anti-aircraft artillery shell flew into the sky, and when it was still far away from the bomber, it exploded, and black flowers bloomed in the sky.
It may seem scary, but when you actually become a bomber pilot, you won't be afraid of this kind of scene!
"Bomb dropping!" The bombardier shouted, and with the shouting, the hatch inside the belly opened, and a large bomb fell from the bomb bay.
This bomb is very different from other bombs, when it falls, it does not continue to do a flat throwing motion and fall downward, but in the fall, it is rotating rapidly, while rotating, it keeps dropping small things, as if it is a goddess scattering flowers.
It seems that there is an indescribable sense of beauty, but the people on the ground don't feel how beautiful it is, this is a kind of death coming, a terrible death coming!
If your eyesight is high enough, you can see that they are small iron balls, but the moment they landed on the ground, a violent explosion sounded!
"Boom!" A small ball fell onto the runway, and as it landed, there was a loud bang.
On the ground, a hole was blown out, it was not big, because the power of a small ball was not enough, but when multiple small balls exploded one after another, the entire base was instantly full of holes!
It is not in the power of a single one, but in its number, just like an ant that is small, but it can eat an elephant to the skeleton in a short period of time!
That's a lot!
The anti-aircraft gunners were dumbfounded, they looked up at the sky, a small round ball, coming towards their gun position!
"Boom!" It's not even, this little round ball actually hit their gun position! With the explosion, one of the gunners screamed, and his parts below the thighs were gone!
The other gunner, already frightened, almost crawled towards the anti-aircraft bunker behind, although it had long been in disrepair, it should be safer there!
Just as he was running a few steps, he suddenly felt a clatter, and under the soles of his feet, it seemed as if he had stepped on something!
"Boom!" An explosion came from under his feet, and he screamed and lost consciousness.
This terrible weapon, the first time it landed on the battlefield, it showed great power!
In later generations, it was called submunitions, or cluster bombs.
Cluster bombs are bombs that are the same size as ordinary bombs, and contain several to hundreds of submunitions, each of which is about the size of a tennis ball. After being dropped by the aircraft, it decomposes in the air and causes regional damage by dispersing submunitions to a wide area of the ground.
It is a face-killing weapon, and the principle of this weapon determines that it is quite suitable for attacking face-shaped targets!
For example, now, bombing the airfield, even if the Junkers-88 carries a few one-ton bombs, throw them down, that is, blow up a few big craters! Afterwards, as long as the big pothole in the airport is filled, you can even directly choose another place to take off and land the plane.
It can be said that the momentum is huge, but the destructive power is not enough.
But now, this cluster bomb is different.
It can be spread throughout the airport and around it, the damage area is quite large, and it has another advantage, which is that the fuse is unreliable.
Now, the bombs dropped by the Junkers-88 are each loaded with 836 half-kilogram bullets, sub-bombs, the whole big bomb is called the mother bomb, and the small bombs inside are called bullets, so many small bombs, it is difficult to make sure that each one explodes.
In the Libyan base, this kind of bomb is in the process of development, and it is impossible to guarantee the 100 percent integrity rate of the fuse, which makes the scientific researchers quite anxious.
As a result, after the report was reported, General Ciric gave instructions, why should we ensure a 100% intact rate? Since it can't be done, then it can be 80 percent, 60 percent, or even, as long as more than half of them can explode normally, that's enough!
At that time, the scientific researchers were puzzled, but Ciric knew that the unexploded was the real power of the cluster bomb.
Those unexploded bullets are left in the opponent's base, so that the opponent's base will be completely scrapped, and it is impossible for them to use it again, and in the elimination of these unexploded bullets, it will bring a huge threat to the sappers.
In later generations, cluster bombs were banned by international conventions, because this kind of thing is simply a dirty bomb, as long as it is used, there will be endless troubles, and in the future, these places will not be used, even civilian use, no one knows where there will be bullets that have not exploded.
However, now it is war, and whatever weapon is useful, use whatever weapon is good! Looking at later generations, there has been so much clamour, and the United Nations is clamoring every day, but the hooligans have not joined the treaty and have not promised not to apply cluster bombs.
Easy to use, low-cost weapons, why not use?
The air base here must be completely abolished! Although it is now only a backup training base, it is likely that the fighters will be rapidly deployed, which will pose a great danger to the German plan!
Nip all dangers in the bud!
"Boom!" A bullet, which fell on a trainer plane, all old biplanes, was parked on the lawn, and now, with one being hit, the fire, quickly spreading!
Three Junkers-88 bombers flew over the airport in turn, and when the cluster bombs were dropped, the entire airport was plunged into a sea of fire!
