Chapter 619: The Shadow of the Liberator
Wang Shizhen and his subordinate generals didn't realize this at first, but Emperor Yang of Beijing saw that they were happily washing the floor in these two cities with bombers, and none of them went to bomb the Russians' transportation lines, so he was speechless and scolded Wang Shizhen with a telegram.
Next, all the bridges, stations, tunnels and other key nodes along the two railways were bombed without exception, although the Russians had a certain amount of air defense protection, but the problem was that the number was too small, hundreds of bombers poured up together, and their anti-aircraft guns were directly submerged in the sea of aircraft, relying on the ultra-long bombing radius, the liberators who took off from Omsk even bombed Ufa.
"No, it's not scary enough, tomorrow you will blow up Ulyanovsk and Kazan too." Emperor Yang was still very dissatisfied with the courage of the bombing troops, so he personally gave orders to the front.
The next day forty liberators took off from Omsk with one and a half tons of bombs each, and under the guidance of the two navigation stations of Omsk and Pavlodar, they bombed Kazan and Ulyanovsk in two groups. Because the Russians did not expect that these two cities, which were nearly 1,500 kilometers away, would be bombed, so when these liberators flew in, the Russians on the ground were stupid and did not make any defensive moves at all. Moreover, there were no garrisons in these two cities at all, and the small Nagan revolver in the hands of those policemen was definitely meaningless, and as a result, those arrogant pilots even flew to an ultra-low altitude of one or two hundred meters to drop bombs, and in such a case, it is needless to say that the hit rate is needless to say, and the two main railway bridges on the Volga River were all blown up.
Of course, this is secondary, the important thing is that the psychological blow to Russia, and indeed to the entire Entente bloc, is enormous. Before this, the Liberator had never carried out a bombing mission with a radius of more than 1,000 kilometers, so Britain, France, Russia and other countries deduced that the combat radius of this bomber did not exceed 1,000 kilometers, although it was terrifying, but it did not have too strong impact, but this stunned everyone, you must know that Ulyanovsk is more than 1,600 kilometers away from Omsk in a straight line, where else can they not bomb such a combat radius?
This is from Omsk, what if they change places? From Istanbul, for example, they can drop bombs on Tsaritsyn, Kyiv, and even Minsk. Well, and Rome. What if they go straight from Aleppo to Budapest and then refuel in Budapest and take off again? Well, they could drop bombs directly on London, and with the fighters in the hands of the Entente, which were as fast as two hundred kilometers, there was no possibility of intercepting them at all, and the whole of Europe was shrouded in the shadow of the liberators.
"yes, why don't we stop in Budapest? Anyway, they don't have a shortage of aviation gasoline there, fast. Contact the Austrian side and get them ready. Emperor Yang also suddenly came to his senses at this time, and he found that he had complicated things, and it was okay to bomb Moscow even if it did not take off from Yekaterinburg. Budapest already had a large military airport. The Liberators who took off from Aleppo had been carrying out the task of transporting food to them, and the oil refineries in Vienna, although they could not directly produce the Liberators' fuel, fully met the requirements of the Liberators with the additives that were sent.
Let the liberators transporting food load bombs and take off from Aleppo, and it is a big deal not to install the fuse first. Then go to Budapest to overhaul and refuel, and then whether to bomb London or Moscow is completely up to your mood, anyway, even the farthest Moscow is only 1,600 kilometers. Similar to taking off from Omsk to bomb Ulyanovsk, Yang Feng's Liberator can reach a maximum range of 3,600 kilometers!
As for navigation, not to mention, his imitation Roland C navigation system can reach a maximum working distance of 2,000 kilometers, Sweden's navigation station basically covers the whole of Europe, and there is also Aleppo's navigation station partially overlapping southern Europe, these transmission towers built under the banner of radio communication, so far except for the pilots of the Chinese Army Airlines, no one knows its true purpose, in the eyes of the Entente, Yang Feng's plane can fly so far and not deviate from the course is completely his pilot is too against the sky, But they didn't know that the radio waves in the sky were pulling these bombers like lines.
Since it was a holy decree, then the next thing is simple, there are forty liberators in Aleppo, and the grain that was originally transported was thrown out of one and a half tons, and then replaced with separate bombs, and then flew to Budapest, where the ground maintenance planes were carried after unloading the food, and the bombs were mounted.
"What are you bombing here?" Archduke Ferdinand, who had been directing the battle in Budapest, asked the commander of the mission in confusion.
"Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty said, the goal is up to you, London or Moscow." The colonel saluted.
Archduke Ferdinand's eyes almost popped out.
"You're saying they can bomb London?" He asked in a trembling voice, and it could be seen that this guy had been waiting for this for a long time.
"There was no problem, the overhaul was complete, the pilots were well rested, and the forty Liberator bombers carrying sixty tons of bombs dropped in the city of London could fly back to Budapest immediately after that. If you are willing to bomb Rome we can take a total of 240 tons of bombs, and of course you can also change it to napalm if you wish, in any case you can draw a circle of 1,700 kilometers on the map with the Budapest airport as the center of the circle. Any city within this circumference can be bombed from the sky if you want to, the difference is that there are fewer bombs in the far zone and more bombs in the near zone. The bomber wing commander said with a smile.
"London, just bomb London." Archduke Ferdinand said viciously, and he did not know where he had so much resentment about London.
With this order of his kind, the people of London, who had dropped bombs on German airships a dozen times from the beginning of the war to the present, were considered unlucky, and that night forty Liberator bombers flew more than a thousand kilometers and dropped sixty tons of bombs on the city, and the whole world was once again stunned. However, this was only the beginning, and in the following days, the liberators who took off from Budapest became a complete nightmare for London, as long as it was not too bad weather, almost every other day these aerial behemoths would come to visit, bombs, freeze qiyou bombs in turn. In order to reduce the bombing interval of the Liberators, Archduke Ferdinand even ordered the Škoda Arsenal to manufacture heavy bombs and coagulated qiyou shells directly, so that there was no need to air them from Aleppo to Budapest. He even proudly showed off to reporters that it was his own order to bomb London, and threatened Britain not to surrender again, so he asked the liberators to throw mustard gas directly at London, completely unaware that he had formed an unforgettable hatred between his country and the British.
At his invitation, China sent twenty more liberators to Budapest, and after the arrival of these planes, Rome, the capital of Italy, which had not been affected by the war, finally tasted the destruction of miè, and sixty liberators dropped a full 360 tons of bombs on the city under the orders of Archduke Ferdinand, and the ancient city was blown to pieces.
But fortunately, Emperor Yang personally stopped the bombing of Rome, in case the bomb fell on the Vatican, it would be bad, after all, during this period of time, the Pope was actually supporting the Confederate bloc, this old guy was worried about whether the Papal States would be restored after the war, after all, the Savoy family also robbed his territory, of course, his wish was destined to be unsatisfied, Emperor Yang was still worried about staying in order to block Emperor Joseph, and then restore the Papal States Italy There will be no Italy.
In this way, the shadow of the liberator completely enveloped the whole of Europe, from England to Russia, and the peoples of all the Entente lands looked up to the sky with trembling, waiting for the judgment of death, waiting for the judgment of the modern war machine.
But at this moment, a great victory suddenly fell on their heads without warning, the Russian Black Sea Fleet completely annihilated the Ottoman fleet, and Makarov sank all four battleships of the Ottoman Empire with the loss of four battleships.
"What's going on? Four Kunlun-class battleships did not beat six Russian battleships? What did the Ottomans eat? Emperor Yang was stunned by this news, although the total destruction of the Ottoman fleet was in a sense something he was very much looking forward to, but the total destruction of the four Kunlun-class battleships had a serious impact on his business reputation, after all, these were all products of the Yang shipyard.
"Mines, Makarov should have pre-laid mines under water with submarines, and they were specially made heavy mines, creating a hidden minefield at sea, and then led the fleet to find a decisive battle with the Ottomans, as a result, he lost a battleship and fled to Sevastopol, the Ottomans chased after it stupidly, two Kunlun-class battleships were seriously injured by mines and lost their combat capability, and the next two remaining two were two against five, and they were also sunk after sinking three Russian battleships, The two seriously wounded were sunk by torpedoes fired from under water by a Russian submarine. Liu Buyun said.
"Well, we can't blame our warships for not being built well." Emperor Yang was in a much better mood at this moment, but then Yuan came to tell him the bad news, according to the spy report in the port of Sevastopol, the Russians were probably preparing for a large-scale landing operation again.
"Landing for war, where?" Emperor Yang was stunned for a moment, but then thought of what the Russians wanted to do. (To be continued......)
