Chapter 109: Cluster Bombing

"Huhuhuhuhu......"

The plane's propellers began to spin slowly, then faster and faster, and soon a row of planes sprang off the runway and rose into the sky under the gaze of the people.

Then another row ...... One hundred and fifty Hammer 2 bombers and 400 Hammer 3 bombers flew into the sky one after another, and the bombers that flew into the sky flew north like a swarm of hornets with a roar.

There were loud cheers at the airport!

The bombing campaign has begun!

According to reliable information, the army hoarded a large amount of war materials at the Weifang railway station. This was the main objective of this bombing campaign, and it also bombed the military camps.

…… At Weifang Railway Station, a train has arrived again.

The train was loaded with all kinds of war materials, bullets, shells, military rations, etc., and the army moved all these materials into the warehouse next to the railway station.

Not all of the 50,000 troops who landed in China had reached Weifang, only more than 30,000 had arrived in Weifang, the others were still behind, and another 20,000 soldiers had not yet landed.

Kamio Mitsutomi had just arrived in Weifang in the morning, and he was very dissatisfied with the planes in the sky, but he had no choice but to let these reconnaissance planes of the people of China reconnoiter everywhere.

This made Mitsutomi Kamio realize that the army's planes must be able to destroy the enemy's planes and ensure that their planes can fly over the enemy to reconnoitre.

However, the current empire does not pay much attention to the development of the air force, and in the past few days the reconnaissance aircraft have been lost to only five units, and there is no useful information for the army to detect, the only thing detected is that the main army force of the people of China has reached Zhucheng, only 80 kilometers away from Weifang.

The rapid march of the Shina Army surprised Kamio Mitsutomi, but in his mind, the march was so fast, and the logistics would definitely not be able to keep up in time.

However, soon Kamio Mitsutomi received news from the spies that the East China Autonomous Government had mobilized many trucks to transport supplies.

Numerous trucks?

What is this concept?

Kamio Mitsutomi didn't know much about this, and scolded those spies, wouldn't he give a specific number? How does this make him judge?

What is certain, however, is that there may not be much of a problem with the supply of the Shina people.

While letting the troops stop in Weifang and wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops, Kamio Mitsutomi also began to send many scouts outward, and at the same time, Kamio Mitsutomi began to plan an active attack.

In his opinion, the army of the Chinese people was vulnerable.

Although judging by their few battles, it is okay, but they have only been in the army for four years, and even if they have the best equipment, they are vulnerable.

Just as Mitsutomi Kamio was looking at the map in the headquarters and discussing the attack plan with the staff officers, a small boom suddenly came from the distance.

The sound was elongated, at first like a mosquito, and then slowly grew louder so that people could hear the boom clearly.

"What's the situation?" Kamio Mitsutomi tilted his head and shouted to the guards, "Go out and have a look." ”

"Hello!"

The guard answered the call and ran out, and as soon as the guard went out, he immediately saw a group of black and pressed things in the sky, and when he picked up the binoculars, he saw that there were countless planes!

The guard was stunned, and it took a long time to remember, and he hurriedly ran back to report to Kamio Mitsutomi, "Sir, outside...... A lot, a lot of planes. ”

"Airplanes?" Kamio Mitsutomi's face changed, and he hurriedly rushed out, and when Kamio Mitsutomi rushed out, the planes in the sky could no longer be seen clearly without the help of telescopes.

The planes were a black patch, approaching with a loud roar.

What kind of plane is that?

Mitsutomi Kamio looked at the style of those planes with a telescope, and suddenly remembered a term - bomber!

This is a new thing, it was made by the East China Autonomous Political Axe, and it has only recently begun to be sold publicly, and the army originally wanted to buy a few to study and study, but did not buy them. I heard that the army is planning to buy one from Britain and come back for research, but it has not yet arrived.

The soldiers in Weifang all looked at the sky in a daze, they didn't know that danger was really coming, in their impression, the plane was just flying in the sky, and there was no attack on the people on the ground.

It's just that many people in the army wondered, why did the people of China suddenly dispatch so many planes?

Soon, the plane flew over the military camp, and just when the soldiers subconsciously wanted to dodge, a series of bombs suddenly dropped from the plane.

Bombs whistled and fell in the sky.

"Woo...... Rumble...... Rumble...... Boom ......"

The explosions continued one after another, and a series of bombs were dropped by planes flying over the military barracks, and when the planes swept over the military barracks, there was already a sea of fire below.

Many of the soldiers were killed in a hurry, and those who were not killed were so frightened that they screamed, and crawled with their hands and feet to run out of the barracks.

At this time, some of the bombers in the bomber group, about more than 200 of them, turned back, while another group of bombers flew towards the Weifang Railway Station.

The bombers that turned back to the barracks of the Yue army, looked at the situation below, and began to slowly drop bombs one by one with a bomb sight, chasing and killing the Japanese troops everywhere below.

The entire military camp was in chaos in an instant, and more than 200 bombers bombed back and forth three or four times in the chaotic Syrian army, and only returned after the bombs had been dropped.

Mitsutomi Kamio's headquarters was also bombed, and a bomb was accurately dropped on the roof, but Mitsutomi Kamio ran just in time, and he ran away as soon as he realized that it was a bomber.

A poor group of staff officers of the 16th Division were directly killed by this bomb, and some of them survived and became seriously injured.

On the other side, a group of bombers flew to the Weifang Railway Station, and the pilots took out photos to compare, and immediately found the target, and one bomber after another rushed over.

The bomb was dropped from the plane again.

These bombers did not fly too low, because they knew that this was a warehouse, and there was a high probability that there were munitions in it.

Sure enough, after a bomber dropped a barrage of bombs on the warehouse below, a dense explosion suddenly sounded below.

Cracking sound...... Boom Boom Boom Boom ...... The shells and bullets in the warehouse were detonated one after another, causing a series of explosions below, stray bullets and shrapnel flying everywhere below, and each explosion shook the eardrums.

The bombers dropped numerous bombs, turning the entire Weifang railway station into ruins and all the surrounding buildings collapsed.

The raging fire was burning, and the supplies of the army were almost completely blown up. There are Chinese in the railway station, there is no doubt about it, but this is war, there is no choice, although cruel, but the result is glorious.

The bomber formation was mixed with some reconnaissance planes, and some war correspondents on it, who recorded the entire process of the air raid and took many photos.

When the planes of the East China Air Force departed, the army came to their senses and began to rescue their wounded and supplies.

As far as the eye can see, everything is in ruins.

The barracks and warehouses had been bombed into a mess, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly rose in Kamio Mitsutomi's heart. Suddenly, it was bombed like this by the Chinese people, and when it was known by visual inspection, the 16th Division suffered heavy losses.

…… In Lianyungang, bomber formations returned one after another.

Xia Jun has already set off for Zhucheng with the headquarters, and the airfield in Zhucheng has been repaired very quickly, after all, the weight of the aircraft in this year is not large, and it can take off and land safely on the grass, while the Heavy Hammer 3 bomber has slight requirements for the airfield.

Halfway through, a call came to the command car.

Xia Jun picked up the phone, and the voice of Zheng Chengtao, deputy commander of the Air Force, came from the other end of the phone; "Report to the principal, the bombing was successful."

Zheng Chengtao was the first batch of students to enter the Air Force Academy to study, because his performance was the most outstanding, and because the Air Force had no foundation, he became the deputy commander of the Air Force, and Xia Jun was the commander-in-chief.

"Very good, let the bomber formation transfer to Zhucheng!" Xia Jun said with a smile.

"Yes."

…… Half a day later, Xia Jun came to Zhucheng, and a large number of video tapes were sent over, along with freshly washed color photos.

The staff showed the tape over and over again, and the bombing process was very short, but in this short period of 10 minutes, the bomber formation dropped 885 tons of bombs.

These bombs blew up the barracks and destroyed all the warehouses around the railway station.

All the personnel of the staff were shocked, the massive bombing by the Air Force was absolutely shocking, and it was the first time they had seen the tremendous effects of such a large-scale bombing.

"How many people have to die here?" Those staff officers were talking.

"I think I'll have to die in the thousands!"

"Five thousand minimal."

"I think there are eight thousand!"

While they were discussing this issue, Xia Jun was also discussing this issue with Tana, who watched the tape and said, "Maybe more than 70% of the people will die!" They all seemed to have been engulfed in bombs. ”

"Hell knows how many of them died, let's have a toast!" Xia Jun put his arm around Tana and toasted with her.

"Chairman, I think we should take the opportunity to attack, and we will definitely be able to achieve major results." Chen Xuanyu came to Xia Jun's side and suggested to him.

"Hmmm! You come up with a detailed plan. Xia Jun said to Chen Xuanyu.

As the commander-in-chief, he naturally doesn't need to think too much about how to fight, let the staff officers below provide the combat plan, and he can approve it, which tests his judgment ability.

…… A contingent of more than 100 Chinese and foreign reporters and military observers had been waiting outside for a long time, and they had heard that the East China Air Force had carried out a large-scale bombing campaign against Yueben, but the results had not yet been announced.

After they waited for more than an hour, Xia Jun appeared in front of them.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Xia Jun appeared in front of everyone with a bright smile on his face, he held a large stack of photos in his hand, walked to the table and said, "I have good news to announce, this news may be bad news for Yu Ben." ”

Big news!

The reporters immediately mentioned the spirit of twelve, and the camera shot at Xia Jun for a while.

"What I want to announce is that our East China Air Force carried out a large-scale bombing campaign against Yueben before, and we blew up the war materials that the Yue army had hoarded in Weifang, as well as a large number of soldiers." Xia Jun announced loudly, then took out the photo in his hand and said, "This is the photo taken at the scene, I will have someone provide it to you later." Next, you can ask questions if you have questions. ”

"May I ask the chairman, how many soldiers have we killed in the bombing?" A reporter from a domestic newspaper couldn't wait to ask, Xia Jun smiled and said: "We don't know how many people were killed for the time being, but it is conservatively estimated that at least 5,000 soldiers were killed, and there may be more injuries." ”
