Chapter 208: Bombing Mission
PS: The first of the four watches
Vandenberg, the commander-in-chief of the Air Force of the Ninth Air Force, was originally going to let the fleet of F84 Thunderbolt fighters carry out this risky bombing mission, but in consideration of the excellent performance of the F4 Phantom at high altitude and high speed, Commander-in-Chief Vandenberg specially ordered five F4 Phantom fighters of the Belgian Air Force to take off from the US military airfield in Hokkaido, forming a herringbone fleet formation and flying in the direction near the 38th parallel.
In autumn, the skies over the Korean Peninsula became exceptionally clear and cloudless, and all the conditions in the airspace ahead were unobstructed in the pilot's field of vision. As the captain of the fleet for this bombing mission, Nan Su was naturally very attentive. On the Korean battlefield, the most terrible thing was not the anti-aircraft artillery of the Zhi-Yuan Army, but the F15 fighters of the Soviets.
The fleet is numbered Halo, and the five ghosts are Halo 1 to Halo 5. Nan Suo glanced at the F4 ghost fighter codenamed Halo Three, and said on the walkie-talkie, "Halo Three, you are too close to Halo Three, evacuate a little, if there is a fight at that time, someone else will throw a series of aerial cannons over, and the first one to hang will be the two of you." ”
When the pilot of the Halo III heard Vinanso's words, he was unconvinced and jokingly replied on the radio, "That's not good, if something happens, someone else will be with me to see God." ”
"Shut up, Frauss. I want to live a few more years, and I won't stop you from being so anxious to serve God, but don't put me in it. Hearing this unfortunate answer, the pilot piloting the Halo 2 laughed and scolded the pilot who said this unlucky word, and the atmosphere in the fleet was peaceful at this time. It's as if it's just a few old friends catching up in the bar, instead of preparing to go to the tragic front line.
Dimension? Nan Suo looked at the dashboard to confirm that he was already near the 38th parallel, and he kindly reminded the group of guys who had not yet changed their mentality, "Gentlemen, be quiet, give me wide eyes." We're almost near the 38th parallel, so don't forget to teach each other a lesson with the most advanced air-to-air missiles in your hands. Give me all alive, wait for whoever shoots down the least enemy plane, and who will drink! ”
"Okay." Everyone replied in unison.
Actually? Nansok was skeptical about the bombing mission, and Commander-in-Chief Vandenberg told V. Vandenberg. This time, Nansuo was to destroy the infiltration operation of the Volunteer Army near the 38th parallel and relieve the pressure on the US troops stationed there. But just the day before the bombing, Vi? Nan Suo met the South African pilot who had been on his mission, and he was told that he would be personally supervised by a key North Korean figure on the front line, and that the impatient Commander-in-Chief Vandenberg would carry out this risky bombing plan in the controlled area of the MiG corridor. The speed of the F84 is not good, and in a complex environment, once a small fleet is surrounded, it will be completely annihilated. But the supersonic flight of the F4 Phantom can just meet the requirements of the plan. General Vandenberg also told him to minimize contact combat with the MiG-15 before dropping bombs on the designated area.
In any case, this operation is destined to be extremely dangerous, and Wei? Nansoo now has to rely on 20mm guns on the plane and two AIM-4 Falcon missiles, which were put into the war ahead of schedule. The bomb will indiscriminately scorch the ground beneath your feet, just for the high-ranking person in the intelligence who is only possible.
"Drop the bomb, guys." Dimension? Nan Soo pressed the button, and the bomb rack on the belly of the plane suddenly loosened, and the F4 ghost, who sacrificed firepower in order to carry the bomb as much as possible, seemed to be possessed by a bomber at this moment. The specially modified bomb carrier to carry the U.S. lazy dog bomb was aimed at a small hill that could serve as the front headquarters of the North Korean army, and fell freely into the area.
As one of the most inhumane World War II bombs in the US military, the lazy dog bomb does not use the high-temperature shock wave generated by the explosion to kill, but can disperse cluster warheads with aircraft at the fastest speed to bomb the target area. The warhead with a flying tail does not contain explosives. It is a solid steel cast structure, which mainly uses the huge impact force generated by the explosion in the air to disperse the cluster flight warhead to kill and injure the opponent in a large area. In short, on the ground within the radius of the Lazy Dog Bomb, there will be almost no survivors. The dead are also painful. After all, it's a sieve.
The lazy dog bomb suddenly exploded when it descended to a certain height, and V? Through the transparent cabin cover, Nanso could see countless bullet-sized warheads, flying towards the ground like a black rain of death. The astonishing impact of the original explosion combined with the free-fall movement, these little deaths falling from the sky are tantamount to bullets raining down from the sky.
The warhead smashed into the ground, kicking up a cloud of gray-yellow dust over a large area, like churning muddy water, which lasted for a long time. Moreover, the bare tree trunks on the hillside collapsed in an instant, and he could even imagine the scarred branches while sitting in the cockpit of the plane.
"Luckily I wasn't down there, it was so bad to be hit." The first time to use a U.S. military weapon to a U.S. military? Nanso's heart shook violently, and he was even sure that no one would ever be able to stand up the hill below as he stared at the tragic scene. Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will be full of holes, and they will not be able to penetrate it anymore.
But dimensional? Nanso's bomb was just the first wave, Halo 3 followed up and dropped the incendiary baptism of gasoline bombs on the hillside, the power of the petrol bomb was not as amazing as the lazy dog bomb, but Halo 3 dropped the bomb on the north side of the hillside, and the only way to evacuate instantly turned into a raging sea of fire, and the trees crackled in the scorching flames.
Numbers two, four, and five were followed by a steady stream of bullets that turned the hillside and its nearby forests into a blazing inferno, the taiga engulfed by the furious sea of fire, and the area beneath the plane a dazzling golden yellow, even more dazzling than the sunlight hanging over their heads.
"Mission accomplished, let's go back, Captain. Presumably, this group of North Korean bastards was also burned into roast pigs. After completing the task, the team members who were in a good mood joked. He didn't care if the soldiers below were screaming and struggling in the fire, anyway, the war is so cruel, if you don't kill him, maybe one of your comrades will fall under his bullets. He who has the heart of Mary is always a victim of war.
"Let's go back and treat the captain." Another member of the team cheered, and the others agreed. Everyone began to turn around and sail back in a happy mood, leaving this place of fear of right and wrong. However, just as the five Halo planes were leaving, the nearby royal highness's Wei ? Nan Suo noticed that the small red dot on the radar board flashed showing that an unidentified aerial vehicle was approaching, and he looked up a few times and saw that there was an enemy plane approaching him at ten o'clock. The Soviet MiG-15 silver-gray livery almost fooled his eyes.
The MiG-15 dragged a long trail cloud, and as he approached the F4 Ghost, the on-board machine gun erupted a series of tongues of fire that made the crews on the scene look abruptly changed in a strong way.
"There are enemy planes, disperse, fast." Dimension? Nan Soo nervously ordered his teammates to disperse, otherwise a row of five planes would be in his pocket. The two outermost planes of the extremely tall herringbone fleet flew in the direction of the left and right respectively, and the second Halo F4 ghost also tracked sideways in the left and right directions.
The Soviet plane, which was the size of a mosquito in its field of vision, was getting bigger and bigger. Nansuo also saw the number of other planes clearly, a total of two MiG-15 fighters, three less than his own fleet, and actually dared to provoke him.
Dimension? Nanso remembered the data that His Highness Albert had given his generals about the MiG-15 being inferior to the F4 Ghost, and he was just as prepared to do so, and the fact that the ship capsized in the gutter should not appear in Belgium's first air war. Even if you block your life, you have to stop its steps.
Not just one-dimensional? Nanso, the pilots of the three enemy planes on the opposite side also thought so, but Vi? Nansoo doesn't know yet. Opposite the MiG-15, one of them was named Kramarenko, the ace pilot of the Korean battlefield. And the other person is the Soviet Union's World War II air ace hero who made all the American pilots talk about the tiger.
