Chapter 1210: The Burning City
"Boom!" Before the bomb hit the ground, in the air, the first explosion began.
This explosion made many people strange, this kind of bomb actually exploded in the air?
The people who were hiding in the water couldn't help but open their eyes at this time, and even had the audacity to poke their heads out and look at the explosion in the sky, there didn't seem to be too much fire, and some just centered on the explosion area, and quickly formed a foggy cloud, which was rapidly expanding, expanding, and soon, it covered a large area of Petersburg land.
This made the people in the river suddenly frightened, and they no longer dared to open their eyes, hold their breath, and wait for that terrible moment to come.
"Boom!" The second explosion was 10,000 times more powerful than the explosion just now!
As this huge explosion sounded, the air mass that had just spread out was immediately ignited! Within a radius of 200 meters, all of them were firelight!
At the center of the explosion, above the flames, a black mushroom cloud rose up, and the temperature in the center of the flames was 2,500 degrees!
The huge fireball expanded rapidly at a speed of 2,000 to 2,500 meters per second, and wherever it went, the air flow was rapidly stirred up, forming a high-temperature and high-pressure air current.
Under the powerful shock wave, no building, no strong fortification, could survive, and the whole city, like a castle made of sand, collapsed with a bang.
There are survivors, but not many.
When German bombs were dropped, they were aimed at one island after another, and the unique composition of the city of St. Petersburg was almost centered on one island at a time.
But after all, it was thrown from a height of 10,000 meters, and no matter how high the accuracy of the sight was, there would be accidents.
For example, the bomb dropped from the 76th bomber deviated more than 800 meters from the target, and the center of the explosion was on the edge of the island, where it met the river.
When the explosion occurred, a huge air flow blew into the river, and in an instant, the river water was like a stone thrown down, and the water splashed to both sides.
In the splash, the water encountered high temperatures and was vaporized one after another, and the citizens who were hiding in the water were also lifted into the air along with the current, and in the air, their bodies were directly vaporized by the huge high temperature.
Bombs continued to fall from the sky, and when more than 200 bombers flew by, there was only a burning city left below, and the black smoke floating above the city actually rose more than 6,000 meters before it was blown away by the air currents in the sky.
Below, it is already purgatory on earth.
Faced with this scene, the pilots of the bomber unit did not feel anything, this is the end of opposing the Empire.
Yes, there were civilians inside, but yesterday they had been notified that they had enough time to leave the city, but they didn't.
Since they have not left, they are no longer civilians, and each and every one of them will be transformed into warriors at any time.
In history, Petersburg held out for several years, starting from the German offensive and continuing to the Soviet counteroffensive, the city of Petersburg has not fallen, hundreds of thousands of residents in the city have taken guns to the battlefield, and every citizen will be a soldier.
This is a war to the death, in which the kindness of a woman is the least desirable.
We must not be merciful, to make every Russian tremble with fear! We need to trample under the feet of the meaningless laws of the old world, the Judeo-Christian traditions of the old world. We don't need Russia, we don't need either hostile Russia or friendly Russia, we just need a land of the East. In order for the Russians to collapse completely, we must make Petersburg come to naught, turn to dust, and disappear from the face of the earth.
By this time, the group had begun to return home, and on the radio, Axett remembered Shirek's passionate speech, and couldn't help but be excited, and repeated these words again.
"Now that we've completed this mission, let's cheer for the Empire's victory!" Exeter heard a cheer on his radio.
Petersburg, has disappeared from the face of the earth.
The cracked mud and stones, many of which fell into the water, blocked the shipping route, and when the people behind went in to clean up, they found that the Germans had completely razed Petersburg, and even Petersburg was easily accessible, and it was possible to shuttle back and forth between the islands without building bridges, and the river had been filled in.
Wolf's Lair.
The bombing of Petersburg, everything went well, and when it came back to the wolf's den, everyone was excited.
"Führer Ciric, we have finally made Petersburg disappear from the face of the earth." Schellner said: "This is a major blow to the Soviets, and the Soviets will not give up." ”
Petersburg, the cradle of the October Revolution, and now, the cradle is gone, how will the Soviets retaliate?
"Then the Soviets have to be capable." Keitel said with a smile: "Now, we have made a major breakthrough in the northern route, our middle route, which has divided and surrounded the Belarusian corps, will soon be able to solve them, and the southern route, we are also advancing towards Kyiv, in short, we are ending the war this year according to the original plan and fighting to Moscow." ”
At such a time, how else can the Soviets fight back? None of them are capable of protecting themselves.
"We are still mainly engaged in conventional warfare." "If the Soviets jump over the wall and want to adopt new tactics, then we can follow them to the end, and we have what the Soviets have, and we have what the Soviets don't," Shirek said. ”
Now, what countermeasures did the Soviets have? At best, they would have come up with some biological and chemical weapons, and if the Soviets really dared to drop these weapons on the battlefield, then Germany would not be stingy.
During the First World War, poison gas was used in large quantities on the battlefield, but the final result proved that it was a kind of torture for both warring parties, so no matter how brutal the Second World War was fought, the belligerents never used this lose-lose style of play again.
Now, Ciric is not very worried that the Soviets will do this, and if they throw in biological weapons, they will also do, and they have more means than the Soviets.
The Soviets had no long-range bombing capabilities, no other means of delivery, and if the Soviets dared to use it on the battlefield, then Shirek would not mind dropping the bomber directly on Moscow with poison gas.
Therefore, as long as Stalin had brains, he should not use this style of play.
As for the way in which Germany destroyed Petersburg, if the Soviets were capable, they would have concocted it in the same way, and if the Soviets were not capable, then it would be different.
Thermobaric bombs are a weapon of mass destruction and a strategic weapon of Germany, so Germany did not use this weapon everywhere, on the one hand, to reduce casualties, and on the other hand, to attack the enemy's confidence, it is impossible to use it in every battle.
