Chapter 477: A Desperate Air Raid
PS: The war against Japan has begun, and the later plots will be even more exciting. It's time to fight Little Japan, if you have a good look, don't forget to support the Red Police, and you are grateful.
ββββThe following textββββ
Over the Bass Strait between Taiwan and the Philippines, the turbofans of each of the nearly 30 behemoths spun rapidly and made a popping sound. If anyone could stand among them, Bi would be deafened by the loud noise.
At this time, they are at an altitude of 15,000 meters, although there is no bump in the low air current, but this does not have much impact on the huge fuselage, whether it is high or not, the usual air flow will not affect a big guy like the Globemaster at all.
However, there is one more thing that has a great impact on the crew inside Globemaster. Inside each Globemaster, there is a crew of twelve people. As long as the aircraft is more than 6,000 meters, it will have a certain impact on the personnel in the aircraft. In terms of oxygen and temperature, it is completely different from low altitude.
Especially at an altitude of 15,000 meters, both oxygen and temperature are completely two extremes on the ground. Coupled with the fact that it's winter, the weather at high altitude can be said to be extreme.
In the cabin of each Globemaster, everyone sat smoothly in their seats, with helmets with oxygen masks and radios inserted in the cabin on their mouths, and a thick flight suit tightly wrapped around their bodies. And that's with the cabin heated (the heat from the engine), but for these crews, fifteen thousand kilometers. It's still cold, cold.
The sky is a cold and lonely place, especially on the ocean. If you don't look out the window, you'll think you're in a cold room that's shaking. Many aviation instruments and devices are tested on the shaking table in the freezer.
And in the cabin at this time, the crew members are telling jokes, which is the spice of the "journey", the entertainment before arriving at the destination. Through the radios between the planes, the voices of the crew members of each Globemaster are constantly circulating in the channel, one after the other.
It's a show that's unique to them. No one is going to forbid them to do so. For high-altitude bombers. Especially for bombers who carry out strategic bombing in depth, the necessary pre-war relaxation is very necessary. Telling jokes can not only relieve the emotions of the crew. It can also be used to pass the time.
But. Jokes are jokes. You can't let go of the work at hand, especially the radar and radio personnel, who have to focus most of their energy on their work. So. A lot of the time, it's the aimers and bombardiers who are talking, and sometimes singing a line or two.
"An old lady climbed over the fence to visit her neighbors despite her age. The neighbor asked her why she didn't go and hit her. She rightly said, 'I'm eighty years old, and the rest of my time is precious to me.' ββ
"A female voice came home filthy after a week of boarding. Her mother asked her why she didn't take a shower? She replied: 'The sprinkler is different from ours, it sprays three streams of water, and I don't know which one to wash first.' ββ
The old couple went to take pictures, and the photographer asked, "Uncle, do you want side light, backlight, or full light?" The uncle said shyly: "I don't care, can you leave a pair of pants for your aunt?" ββ
"The two dumplings got married, and after seeing off the guests, the groom returned to the bedroom and found a meatball lying on the bed! The groom was shocked and hurriedly asked where the bride was. Meatballs said shyly: "I hate it, you don't know people when they take off their clothes!" ββ
"The four rats bragged: A: I eat rat poison as candy every day; B: I don't step on a mouse for a day and my feet itch; C: I don't go to the street a few times a day, and I'm not steady; Ding: It's not too early, go home and pick up the cat. β
β¦β¦
They stomped their feet as they spoke.
While they were telling jokes, the voice of the leader came from the headphones: "Gentlemen, we have entered the skies over the Philippines and are still half an hour away from our destination, Clark Air Force Base. This was the end of the entertainment program, and all personnel began to enter combat mode. β
"Oh also, I can finally show my skills again, and the cold along the way will be found in Little Japan."
"Ilipai Little Japan, I really miss the scene of the bombing of Taipei, that feeling is really refreshing. Even the last time I went to India, although it felt pretty good, it didn't make me feel more comfortable than playing Japan. β
"The first battle against Japan was started by us. Then history will remember our feat, destroying the Japanese Air Force on the Philippines in one fell swoop. β
β¦β¦
When everyone entered the combat mode, they did not forget to roar on the radio for the last time.
At this time, they did not have the slightest fear of being discovered by the Japanese, because at such a height, the chance of being discovered by the Japanese was zero. Otherwise, where would they need to climb to 15,000 meters and endure the cold.
Japan's radar has not been taken seriously because it is a defensive weapon, looking at the surveillance screen, it is like looking at an electrocardiogram, there is no enemy plane coming is a line, there are enemy planes coming there are ups and downs, but it is impossible to know the location of the enemy plane, the detection distance is close, the naked eye can only detect it when it is seen quickly, there is no time to prepare, there is no altitude radar, it is regarded as scrap metal by the navy, and it is mainly guarded by observers with telescopes called God's eyes.
In contrast, the US radar can detect 200 kilometers away, and the radar detection altitude is 3,000 to 6,000. However, Japan has not begun to pay attention to the role of radar, but it has fallen far behind in time. At least for now, Japan's radar technology cannot reach the world level, let alone be used in actual combat.
And China's bombers can generally reach more than 10,000 meters, and even Britain, which has the most advanced radar technology in addition to China's radar, has no way to detect it.
If the Djinn bomber came to the Philippines, he might have suffered battle damage, because he could not reach an altitude of 15,000 meters and could not attack at a very high altitude. Japan's anti-aircraft guns on the ground can also reach 12,000 to 13,000 kilometers. But it is absolutely impossible to threaten the altitude of 15,000 meters.
Even if these bombers are discovered by Japanese God Eye observers on the ground, Japan will have no way to take these bombers. Not to mention that the Zero has no way to climb to such a high altitude, even the Warhawk-2 type aircraft sold by China to Japan cannot climb 10,000 meters.
At least within a year, there is no need to worry about the safety of the Globemaster, because at this time, apart from China, there is no effective air defense weapon in the world that can hit 15,000 kilometers. Perhaps, when there was a breakthrough in the missile project researched by the United States, an anti-aircraft gun with a killing range of 15,000 meters was invented, otherwise every Globemaster could swagger into the airspace of the enemy country.
Of course, if the bomb is dropped directly at an altitude of 15,000 meters, the accuracy cannot be guaranteed at all. Unless a guided bomb is used, the hit rate depends entirely on character.
However, the target of their mission this time was an airport, and at an altitude of 15,000 meters, they could not aim at a target the size of a car, but they were still a little sure of aiming at a target the size of a house. Not to mention a huge airfield, or carpet bombing, the requirements for accurate hits are even lower.
Therefore, they did not need to reduce the altitude at all, and they could directly drop all the bombs in the magazine at an altitude of 15,000 meters to Clark Air Force Base. It doesn't matter if some of the bombs miss, they brought enough bombs this time.
Seven or eight hundred tons of aerial bombs were enough to destroy Japan's largest air base in the Philippines several times. In particular, the extremely destructive aerial bomb, the one-and-a-half-ton ground-penetrating aerial bomb equipped with the penetrating warhead, is enough to blow a huge crater with a diameter of nearly 50 meters on the ground.
If such a bomb causes damage in many places in the airfield, then this air base will be abandoned. At least for a short time, by the time they repair, perhaps the Chinese landing force has already occupied this place.
Twenty-five minutes passed, and just five minutes away from Clark Air Force Base, Japanese observers on the ground also spotted the uninvited guests. With the sound of piercing sirens, Japanese planes stationed at Clark Air Base in the Philippines began to take off.
The Japanese Air Force, which used to conduct routine training every day, took the lead in flying bombers in the sky, but the result made them desperate. Even the most advanced Zero Type has a maximum ceiling of 10,000 meters. And above them, the huge bomber was still the size of a small bird.
Nearly 100 Japanese fighters could only helplessly hover over the air base, watching the Globemaster flying over the base and dropping deadly bombs.
The dense whistling sound stimulated everyone's scalp tingling. The Japanese ground crews and pilots at the airbase began to flee in despair. From a bird's-eye view, the spacious airbase looks like a hot pot, and the Japanese are the ants on the hot pot.
Fear had taken over all that of the Japanese, and the Japanese fighters who had already begun to glide were desperately trying to get into the air before the bombs arrived, and the throttle and joystick were about to be broken by the Japanese pilots.
The scalp-numbing whistling sound was quickly replaced by a violent explosion, and just three seconds later, Clark Air Force Base was in a sea of fire. Staying on the runway, the Japanese fighters preparing to take off were either directly blown up or directly swept away by the shock wave of the heavy bomb.
Light bombs, heavy bombs, super heavy bombs, one after another bombs continued to fall on the foundation of this air force, rolling up countless flames of death, and the lethality formed by fragments turned this place into a complete hell. The shock wave and the rising smoke brought the breath of death.
Even the destructive power caused by a Globemaster can be called the king of destruction, and the powerful 28-ton carrying capacity gives it this well-deserved title.
The Japanese fighters who took to the skies could only watch the airfield, which had just been peaceful, turn into a sea of corpses and blood, and they could do nothing about it. However, this is not the end of the matter, in the western sky, dozens of Warhawk-3s are whistling with tail flames. (To be continued.) )
