Chapter 552: Hellfire
A dense whistling sound swept over the Sasebo shipyard, followed by a shocking explosion. In the shipyard, there were dense explosions. Blood splattered in the iron sheets, and the panicked crowd panicked to get out of the shipyard.
In one trip, two trips, three successive dive attacks, nearly 100 intruder fighter-bombers dropped bombs under their wings into the shipyard, which covered an area of 50 hectares, and was soon covered in gunsmoke.
In a corner of the shipyard, several pipes have been laid out on the ground here that lead to the dock. At the end of the pipeline, which is also the main target of the Air Force this time, the underground oil depot of the Sasebo Naval Base. Three intruders with penetrating warhead bombs made this the main target.
Several one-ton bombs directly exploded the cement layer on the ground, and dozens of Japanese oil workers who could not dodge in time were directly shocked out by the shock wave of the explosion. Soaring fires erupted from the ground, splashing oil and igniting the surrounding objects. In an instant, the place was enveloped in flames.
Inside the hellish Sasebo shipyard, various robotic arms have collapsed, and ships under construction have become a pile of debris. The underground oil depot that was opened to protect it, the oil depot fire that was rising.
"Machines, start using white phosphorus incendiary bombs." Yu Zhicong, who had been hovering high in the air, saw that the shipyard below had changed beyond recognition, and ordered the big killing weapon brought by this air raid.
Immediately huge bombs were dropped, just like cluster bombs. These bombs did not explode after landing, but exploded directly in the sky.
Suddenly, in the sky, it seemed that a very wonderful fireworks display was staged. The bright white light also overshadowed the light of the day, like exploding fireworks, scattered to the ground.
In an instant, the shipyard, which was already shrouded in gunsmoke, burst into boundless flames. Whether it is the sleepers in the shipyard or the iron sheets everywhere, it is the running figure, under the white substance like the scattered flowers of the goddess. Everything was burning fast. Even water is no exception.
"Ahh "Crackling!" A variety of sounds were staged in the shipyard, and the real Grim Reaper music began to be staged.
Napalm. Its main components are cyclic acid, brown acid, gasoline. Mix it up. can produce a yellow, sticky paste similar to petroleum jelly. This paste sticks to the object and burns slowly.
This is an ideal incendiary bomb. This gelatinous gasoline can stick to any surface, such as roofs, walls, and people, and cannot be extinguished once burned.
It is insoluble in water. If a small drop accidentally falls on the back of a person's hand. Then you can only wait for it to burn out on its own. If you try to put out the fire with force, the result will be that your fingers will be scorched along with your entire hand.
White phosphorus is a colorless or light yellow, translucent waxy substance, with strong irritation, its smell is similar to garlic, the ignition point is very low, once it comes into contact with oxygen, it will burn, emitting a yellow flame and emitting a strong smoke. It can be used to burn substances that are difficult to burn with ordinary combustion materials, and it is characterized by being able to fully burn in a small space or with little air density, and the temperature of general combustion can reach more than 1000 degrees, which is enough to destroy all living organisms within an effective range.
The white phosphorus bomb is very harmful, it burns continuously after touching an object until it is extinguished, so when it comes into contact with the human body, the flesh skin will be penetrated, and then penetrate deep into the bones.
White phosphorus incendiary bombs are very powerful incendiary bombs, which are difficult to remove in time if they are on the skin, and the combustion temperature is high, which can burn all the way to the bones, and the smoke produced at the same time is extremely irritating to the eyes and nose.
White phosphorus burns the body, in fact it melts flesh into the bones. When white phosphorus explodes, clouds form that no one within a radius of 150 meters is spared.
This white phosphorus substance, which can be attached to the steel and burned, can maximize the damage to the shipyard, and even if it dodges the explosion, it cannot avoid the deformation under the high temperature burning.
Red flames soared into the sky with a wave of heat, and hellfire surged through the billowing black smoke.
The flames are imprinted in Yamamoto Asakusa's black eyes. At the same time, the scorching heat and suffocation from the smoke and fire made his head feel a little swollen, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of corpses and burning oil, and the smell of rubber paste from the soles of the soldiers' boots on the hot ground.
The derrick, which is tens of meters high, softens and collapses in the huge heat generated by the combustion of oil at the bottom, and the molten steel slowly slides down the derrick. He felt the skin on his face slowly become dry and tattered in the sun. Even the black hair was mixed with choking smoke.
The soldiers gathered around with all the fire extinguishing tools they could find, but for the endless fire, let alone the rudimentary tools in their hands, even if they collected all the fire extinguishers around, they could not extinguish the rapidly spreading fire, and there was no way to stop it.
None of them, who should have left as soon as possible, wanted to retreat, even if they saw their comrades being engulfed by the sudden string of fires from time to time, no one took the initiative to take a step back. Because in front of us is one of the hopes of the Empire, the Sasebo Naval Shipyard. This is the crystallization of the imperial industry, a quarter of the shipbuilding industry of the whole of Japan, the third powerful navy in the world, and at least a third of the capital ships, come from here. Here is the pride of the whole of Japan, how can they watch the shipyard in front of them ruined in their eyes. What's more, there is also a large amount of finished fuel stored in it.
Under the continuous attacks of the Chinese Air Force, especially the continuous attacks of heavy aerial bombs, the shipyard has been unrecognizable, and the ships under construction inside were destroyed at the first time, along with the shipbuilders inside, and even the underground oil storage room of the port next to it, the protective layer on the ground was also blown up, and a large amount of fuel oil caught fire and burned. More than a dozen oil depots were completely destroyed, and the flames of the burning oil depots erupted dozens of meters and shot straight into the sky, as if the burning arm was touching the indifferent gods.
Asakusa Yamamoto also heard the sound of a fire burning, like the roar of an extinct beast trying to return to the world.
The oil raindrops that fall from time to time make the already uncomfortable place even more difficult to stop. But no one cares about this, they only have the fire to fight and put out the fire. In the distance, the giant hanger of the shipyard that had been blown off snaked in a provocative curve, and the smooth fracture section of the rail waist was exposed to the hot air.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion occurred not far from him, and Yamamoto Asakusa saw the side face of a young Imperial officer through the air that had been broken into waves by the sudden heat wave, which seemed familiar, as if "but in the next moment, the sprayed pieces of minced meat splashed all over the right half of his body."
Removing a piece of mucous membrane stuck to his face, Asakusa Yamamoto searched for the officer's figure. At this moment, one of the soldiers next to him screamed and jumped to shake off an eyeball hanging from his chest. He made his way through the chaotic and scorching ranks, and when the officer turned his head, he saw the other man's face, not the man he had imagined.
Damn it. We're messing with a giant!
Maybe it was the sudden explosion that scared the big guys. In the firefighting team. There was a constant stream of curses.
"Hurry up and put out the fire, call more people, and be sure to stop the fire." When the old Shangguan who spoke wiped the oil and blood from his forehead, he complained hatefully.
"Tokyo has gone completely crazy! Why. Why should we provoke China. The shipyards that the empire had built over the decades were finished. Why be an opponent with a madman like Zhonghua. Two shipyard workers who were "called" to extinguish the fire looked at the hellish scene in front of them, and one of them couldn't help crying. Heart-rending yelled at the soldiers around him.
He didn't complain that the soldiers had called him over, even if he had been able to escape from here. But seeing everything in front of him, he had no intention of leaving here. He has been working in this shipyard for half his life, and he can't leave here.
"Don't say that, Lai Tianjun, if we don't fight the Chinese, the Chinese will come and beat us, the newspapers have spread all over the newspapers, the Chinese have divided Asia into several large parts, they occupy the whole of Asia, and then they will rob us of our wealth, our land, and destroy our civilization." Another person next to him hurriedly pulled his excited friend over, his face full of oil stains, and showed an apologetic wry smile to the imperial soldiers beside him.
"Shit! All bullshit! You bastards who only know how to fight all day long, bastards! The man didn't listen to the persuasion, but suddenly pulled a young man next to him, grabbed the other party's collar with both hands, and kept roaring. When he saw the Sasebo shipyard covered in fire in front of him, he was a little crazy.
"Baga pressed the road and pulled him away. Hurry up and put out the fire. The officer who was caught by the collar looked at the middle-aged man who was pulled away, and there was no anger in his heart. He knew the man in front of him, and he also knew that he was an old master of the shipyard. He didn't blame it, maybe the middle-aged man was right, Japan really shouldn't provoke China.
………
Asakusa Yamamoto saw all this in his eyes, he didn't say anything, looking at the Chinese fighter planes that were still raging in the sky, countless thoughts flashed in his heart. Did the empire really make the wrong decision?
"Pray! Let's pray! After this war, we will still have all the corpses, and we will become a stepping stone for China to be wiped out by them. ”
"Chinese fighters are coming."
A panicked shout suddenly interrupted Yamamoto Asakusamoto's thoughts, and he looked into the air, only to see that two of the Chinese fighters in the air had already pounced on them. These Chinese fighters, painted in sky blue, did not fly very high. The hum of the jet engine drowned out all the sound for a while. Between a few breaths, Asakusa Yamamoto even saw the pilot in the cockpit of the Chinese fighter, which was already very close.
It's big, it's really big. This was the first time that Asakusa Yamamoto had seen a Chinese fighter so closely, and his first impression was that it was huge. He didn't know how to distinguish them for a while, because these Chinese planes, which were similar in shape to fighters, had the size of bombers.
"Hurry up and hide!" A terrible roar beside him made Yamamoto Asakusa wake up.
Instinct made him lie down quickly on the wet ground, which was the seawater pump, which was sprayed in the fire after pumping water to extinguish the fire.
Only the buzzing sound overhead, and before many of the Japanese who were extinguishing the fire could react, the deadly strafing sound of the aviation machine guns and the sound of hitting the iron plate like a bell began to echo around the shipyard, mixed with the screams of the soldiers who had not had time to dodge.
At this time, there was little to hide around the shipyard except for a few low piles of iron sheets. In the next second, there was a sound of machine gun fire in the air, and Yamamoto Asakusa, who was lying in the mud puddle at the first time of the air raid, saw light flashing under the nose of those Chinese fighters, and rows of smoke columns rose on the ground, and in the smoke columns, the brothers who kept running were torn to pieces by bullets, and even broke their bodies in two, and their upper bodies fell to the ground. The lower half of the body was also dragged by inertia and "ran" two steps before falling.
When the plane carried out a machine-gun attack, the Japanese soldiers who were originally extinguishing the fire ran to the nearest low-lying point of the iron sheet to hide, and all the fire-fighting actions had stopped, and those who could still walk were lying on the muddy low-lying ground.
