Chapter 340: Desperate Canada
At 8 o'clock in the evening of the 27th, it was already dark, and the two airships suddenly received an order to attack. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I had to let the ground crew load the airship with incendiary bombs and grenades, and this time to bomb two cities, in order to ensure that there was enough ammunition at that time, the captain of the airship also insisted that the cargo space must be filled.
The captain of one of the airships said: "Lao Li, why don't we divide the work and bomb a city by ourselves, which will save time." ”
The person called Lao Li said without thinking: "Okay, which city you want to go to, you can choose for yourself." ”
"That's not good, I brought it up, how can I choose? It's still up to you. ”
Lao Li thought for a while and said: "Lao Zhang, thank you, then I'll go and bomb Ottawa, I really hope to blow up the governor and prime minister of Canada, and their chief of staff and defense minister will also be killed, occupying such a large territory, just such a small population, and I am embarrassed to call the prime minister, call the governor, I am angry when I think of this." ”
"Well, I wish you the best of luck; I went to the city of Montreal and tried to destroy all their factories, hospitals, schools, and residential areas, and see what the Canadians were crazy about, and even sent some militia to the battlefield. ”
"Thank you, Lao Zhang, for coming back and inviting you for a drink."
"It's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
It wasn't until more than 9 o'clock that the staff filled the cargo space of the airship and completed the task, and the crew of the two airships were excited.
The distance from Hamilton to Ottawa and Montreal is 500 kilometers and 600 kilometers respectively, and the arrival time of the airship takes more than 4 hours and 5 hours respectively.
Both were very happy because Ottawa was the capital of Canada, and Montreal was the largest city in Canada at the time, and both felt that their mission was very sacred and important, and that no matter which city was bombed, they could leave a strong mark on their life resumes.
Being able to bomb Ottawa, Lao Li was very happy in his heart, and he was even more grateful to Lao Zhang for leaving him this opportunity.
Ottawa is the capital of Canada and the political, economic, cultural and educational center of Canada, with a population of more than 300,000.
At about 2 o'clock in the morning, the airship reached the sky over Ottawa, and the weather was dark, and only the outline of the city could be seen from an altitude of more than 3,000 meters.
There is no way, it is not clear to see the target of the bombing at all, it is still the old rule, first bomb from west to east, this time all the incendiary bombs are used, hoping that the incendiary bombs will cause a fire in the city in Ottawa, and then rely on the fire to illuminate the ground, and then look for the bombing target from the air.
With a bang, a violent explosion woke up the residents of the western part of Ottawa City, and the flames that rushed to the sky instantly lit up the land.
Lao Li adjusted the target of the bombing through the bright light of the flames.
"Bang", "Bang", "Bang"
The continuous explosions, every less than 100 meters is an explosion point, the flames on each explosion point are more than ten meters high, the whistling northwest wind blows the flames, the fire borrows the wind, causing more fires, constantly spreading to the southeast of the city.
Soon, a huge belt of fire divided the city of Ottawa into north and south.
Many Canadians were burned to death in their homes, some ran out wearing only pajamas, and some unfortunate people were contaminated with the sticky substance bursting out of the Molotov cocktail, setting fire to their bodies, no matter what method was used, they could not put out the fire on their bodies, they could only endure great pain, and were burned alive in moaning, shouting, and crying for help.
All the Canadians realized that they had been attacked by the airship of the Republic of China, but they could not do anything about it, the airship flew at an altitude of several thousand meters, and could not be attacked by any of the weapons available, so they could only be bombed passively.
Just when the citizens of Ottawa were still immersed in pain, Lao Li had already adjusted the direction of the airship, preparing to bomb from east to west again, this time he was ready to bomb from the north of the fire belt, the south of the fire belt has been shrouded in fire, even if you don't bomb, there are not many complete buildings left, and after the bombing of the north, you will go to bomb those surviving buildings, saving time and effort.
Lao Li ordered that for every five grenades, one incendiary bomb would be dropped, not only to increase the destructive power, but also to illuminate the ground so as to find the next target to be bombed.
To the east of the Rideau Canal was the Lower Town, which was the first to be bombed, with the Governor's Palace in the northeast being the first target, followed by the city hall and the National Archives, which were in ruins during the bombing.
Lao Zhang felt particularly happy about this bombing, the symbol of Canada's self-government, the Governor's Palace, was blown into ruins, but I don't know whether the Governor General of Canada was killed or burned to death.
Then the bombing of the University of Ottawa, after each building was bombed by grenades, one incendiary bomb was dropped, after the bombing the entire University of Ottawa became a ruin, the library, laboratories, etc. were all burned down, the teachers and students inside were even more casualties, and only a few people who began to escape from the campus became survivors.
Then the bombing of the Canadian Parliament building on the banks of the Ottawa River did not save the House of Representatives and Senators on both sides, and even the Library of Congress behind the building was burned.
On Wellington Avenue opposite the Capitol, there are important buildings such as the Federal Government Building, the Judiciary Building, the Supreme Court, and the Central Bank, which became the height of the bombing.
Seeing so many important buildings on the airship all turned into ruins in front of his eyes, and a raging fire was ignited, Lao Zhang's excited face turned red, and his heart was pounding, this time it was a meritorious service, and it was much more enjoyable than when he bombed Toronto.
Such a good building, all of them were bombed and burned, Lao Li was also very distressed, what a pity, it would be great if the Canadians surrendered earlier, these buildings could be used directly after occupying here; Now that it has been bombed into ruins, it will definitely be troublesome if it is cleaned up, and the Canadians are really obsessed with it, and they dare to contend with the empire, which is really tired and crooked.
"Chief of Staff, how many more bombs do we have?" Lao Li asked.
"Captain, we have a small half left, and we have used less than two-thirds of our ammunition, where else do you want to bomb? It's really enjoyable to blow up today. The chief of staff of the airship reported to Lao Li in a timely manner.
Lao Li said unhappily: "Why is there so much ammunition, it must not be brought back, it is too late to go to Quebec City now, does the chief of staff have a good goal?" ”
"Captain, we first dropped incendiary bombs this time, and there weren't many shells used in the entire southern part of Ottawa, all of which were due to the fire, if you want to say that there is no good target, there is a general target, but I don't know if the captain is willing to bomb?" said the chief of staff.
Lao Zhang asked: "Where is the bombing or not, you can tell it first." ”
"Kingston Artillery Group! Is the captain satisfied? ”
"Yes, we happened to pass by there when we went back, and if we don't blow it up, we can't take the shells home anyway, how dangerous it is." Lao Li said resolutely.
After the bombing, the whole of Ottawa became a ruined city, a dead city, and the people inside desperately fled for their lives, otherwise the spreading fire would burn everyone in the city.
And Lao Li happily embarked on the return journey with huge results, and prepared to kill the Kingston artillery group on the return trip.
Lao Zhang's airship arrived in Montreal at about 3 o'clock in the morning, and the people of the city were still asleep, not realizing that the flames of war would burn here.
The city of Montreal is located on Montreal Island and surrounding islands in the St. Lawrence River, is the economic capital of Canada, with the largest population and the most developed economy, and is the transportation center of southeastern Canada, with convenient canals, the St. Lawrence River flows through the city, and the Canadian National Railway and Pacific Railway meet here.
At this time, the city of Montreal had a population of more than 500,000 people, accounting for one-tenth of the entire population of Canada.
Montreal has more than 1,000 factories and enterprises, traditional industries such as clothing, tobacco, food, textiles, and timber occupy an important position, and the steel, machinery and other sectors are also very advanced and developed.
The education sector is one of the leading in Canada, with the University of Montreal, the country's largest French-speaking university, and McGill University, the country's oldest English-speaking university.
The first thing they saw was St. Joseph's Basilica on the top of the Royal Hill, known as the second largest domed church in the world, with a huge dome of 97 meters, second only to St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
Of course, such a conspicuous and huge target must be bombed at the first time, and bombing this kind of building is the easiest, with just a few grenades and then 1 incendiary bomb.
The violent explosion that occurred at the top of the Royal Hill and the more than ten meters of flames that rose up woke up the citizens of the entire city of Montreal, and everyone wondered, what happened?
The awakened citizens lit the lights in their homes, and these lights led Lao Zhang and them to find bombing targets.
The most prosperous place is just northeast of Montreal Island, and the city is very compact, which is convenient for Lao Zhang's bombing.
Because of the target, Lao Zhang did not use Lao Li's bombing methods, but prepared to bomb around the city first, surround the citizens of Montreal with flames, and then bomb back and forth from west to east, and then from east to west, back and forth several times, dumping all the hundreds of tons of ammunition they carried on the city, and striving to completely remove the city from the map of Canada, this is the price of their bullying of the Chinese, this is the price of their daring to go against the empire.
Lao Zhang's carpet bombing caused several times the damage to the city and the casualties caused by Lao Li's others.
An incendiary bomb was dropped every few tens of meters, causing a raging fire, letting the citizens know that they were attacked, and smart people fled for their lives, but fortunately, the St. Lawrence River was still in the freezing period this season, as long as they crossed the river and fled to the suburbs, they had a chance to live.
Lao Zhang and the others soon bombarded the city of Montreal, and the fire surrounded the city, and the citizens who did not leave the city became lambs to the slaughter.
Then Lao Zhang began to bomb the inside of the city, leaving the entire city of Montreal in flames.
According to later statistics, more than 100,000 Canadians were directly killed and burned to death in Lao Zhang's bombing, and more than 200,000 were injured, whose lives were in danger at any time.
Because hospitals and other places are burned, there is no warm clothing, no food, and no medicine, and in the cold season, people who are healthy may not be able to survive, and injury means death.
On the way back, Lao Li turned the Kingston artillery group into a sea of fire, and half of the ammunition in Ottawa City was poured in that palm-sized place, which makes people shudder just thinking about it. (To be continued.) )
