The night sky was clear, the stars were falling, and the pale white crescent moon hung high in the blue sky of the west, and it was almost dawn. The cool and soothing morning breeze blows through the Cuban trees, bringing a refreshing refreshment.

U.S. Army Colonel Henry stretched his long waist and walked out of his residence with a yawn on his face, and the bright light in front of him made his pupils shrink slightly. It was only after a few moments that Colonel Henry's eyes adjusted to the light from the darkness. With the help of lights, hundreds of ground crews began to carry out fuel and bomb loading operations on the various planes on the airport before the sortie; A large number of carts carrying bombs crisscrossed the country, and all kinds of noisy sounds filled the night sky before dawn.

"The idiots of the air force are always tireless, but they have no regard for the heavy work that our ground soldiers have to do with it!" Looking at the large number of four-engine heavy bombers parked on the runway, Colonel Henry couldn't help but spit hatefully and said. Since a month ago, the San Diego Air Force Base under his charge has begun to receive a large number of various aviation units transferred from Miami, Havana, and other places, and the number of guided fighters has increased dramatically. Today, there are more than 400 fighters of all kinds stationed at the main airport alone, and the total number of fighters in the surrounding sub-airports is close to 2,000, which undoubtedly greatly increases the work tasks of ground staff. In the face of this total number of aircraft, which has more than doubled, the personnel in the hands of Colonel Henry have not been increased by the corresponding proportion of +↗, which undoubtedly makes the daily work of his department suddenly heavy. At present, not only are the soldiers divided into two shifts, but even Colonel Henry's own rest time has been greatly reduced: the tens of thousands of men under his command are not front-line soldiers. But in this kind of second-tier position, there are more trivial affairs.

The breeze blows. It's cold to the bone. After Henry stood outside the hut and breathed in the morning air, the tiredness in his mind almost disappeared. He moved his slightly stiff body, turned around and walked towards the office next to him: after a night of accumulation, it is estimated that his desk is full of all kinds of papers, right?

"Sir, the anti-aircraft radar has found an anomaly, you'd better come and see for yourself!" Colonel Henry had barely taken a few steps when a handsome lieutenant officer suddenly ran out of the door of the radar room and said loudly to him. "We have spotted more than 200 targets 70 miles to the east and are rapidly heading towards us, these unidentified objects are flying at an altitude of more than 250,000 feet, and their speeds are tentatively estimated to be above 4,000 miles per hour!"

"your x!" Henry, who was already unhappy in his heart, was furious when he heard this, and immediately roared, "Chris, you have sown more than a dozen times a day on your little Mary during your vacation, and now your spirit is completely broken?" What can fly to 250,000 feet and travel at over 4,000 miles per hour? That's a group of German high-speed bombers flying at 25,000 feet and traveling at 400 miles per hour. I see that you don't have to do any more in the position of radar chief, so immediately pack up and disappear from the base. Succeeded by Sam as the new radar station commander. The base immediately sounded the air defense alarm and implemented the No. C response plan! ”

The young officer, who was called Chris, looked anxious. Regardless of Yiqiē, he said loudly: "Sir, all the members of the radar station will never have a 10-fold reading and calculation error at the same time!" Henry was stunned when he heard this, and a faint sense of foreboding appeared in his heart, and he immediately ran quickly towards the radar room in front of him, and it took less than half a minute to come to the glittering screen. The machine chirped slightly, the light curtain was faint, and Henry, who was standing in front of the screen, instantly gasped, and couldn't help but rub his eyes with both hands. Because he was amazed to see that the dense point of light had moved forward by a terrifying distance after the radar had swept it for a week; At the moment, these objects are only more than 50 miles away from their base!

"It's ...... A swarm of meteorites falling from space? Henry's mind froze, and it took a long time before he spoke, as if in a dream. This speed and flight altitude can only be achieved by an extraterrestrial meteorite that crashes to the ground. However, how to explain the huge number of more than 200 and the neat movement trajectory running straight towards oneself? The natural probability of such a phenomenon is simply equal to zero! If it is possible for one radar to have a false alarm, then the same display of two radars can only indicate that there must be objects in the target area that are as moving as they are on the screen. In order to avoid the failure of the air defense warning due to radar failure, it is obvious that there is more than one equipment in this radar station at present, and as far as Henry can see, the display on a screen next to it is also mixed!

Henry took a deep breath and immediately gave the order to sound the air defense siren. Although I still don't know if the Germans will summon meteors to descend from the sky like wizards, it is always a good idea to be prepared in advance! The cacophony of sirens sounded in the pre-dawn night sky, and the entire aviation base was boiling in an instant: the ground crew was busy stopping the bomber's refueling and reloading, pushing it into the camouflage booths on both sides of the runway, and the small and light fighter was sent onto the runway, and the propeller in the front of the nose soon neighed and spun as the pilot jumped in. In less than two minutes, the first P-47 took off under the guidance of a searchlight and flew into the sky, where the light was already faintly visible; Anti-aircraft artillery units on the ground were also in place, their guns held high, ready to strike at the invading enemy. In order to cope with the Luftwaffe's bombing of various airfields in Santiago, the US air force was undoubtedly fully prepared to intercept them.

This time, however, the situation was very different from any previous Luftwaffe air raid. Less than a few US fighter planes had taken off from the runway when the US officers and men on the ground heard an unprecedented piercing scream; Moments later, there was an earth-shattering explosion. Clusters of wild red light like sunrise Fusang burst out one after another on the earth, illuminating the entire night sky with a gorgeous golden red!

Although a considerable number of missiles deviated several kilometers away due to errors, more than half of the missiles still successfully landed in the range of the airport; The V3 missile is loaded with 1.2 tons of high explosives in the warhead, and the explosion power after its landing can only be described as shocking. The cascading flames exploded in anger, rolling in an unstoppable hustle and bustle around them; As far as the light wave reached, the cement boulders were all like shredded paper, and they turned into thousands of carbon grains and shot into the sky. Some V3 missiles carry napalm warheads, which are not as earth-shattering as when a large number of explosives explode, but the actual damage they cause is more than that in many areas. Burning violently, they emit thousands of degrees of heat, which is very difficult to extinguish with a conventional water hose that lowers the temperature of the ignition point, and as long as the amount is sufficient, they can even melt steel into a puddle of molten iron!

Because the speed of the missiles was so fast, the time left for the US ground crews to react and clear the scene was less than one-tenth of that under normal circumstances, a large number of special hoses that carried fuel for the bombers were still lying on the ground like countless long snakes, and ammunition trucks loaded with tons of bombs were all over the runway of the airport. When these divine punishments fell from the sky, the peaceful vicinity of the airport suddenly became the Shura Hell engulfed in the boundless sea of fire. The blast and wind and the spray of gelatinous gasoline ignited the oil pipelines and high-explosive bombs scattered around the runway, and the flames burned as if they had fallen on the dry pasture, engulfing the bombers that had not yet been pushed away. The bomber that had already loaded the bomb was directly reduced to fragments in the detonation of the internal bomb, and the plane that had not yet been loaded into the bomb also turned into a phoenix under the influence of the flames, and finally became a pile of charred skeletons in the rising flames. The red light gushed out, the fire burned the sky, and in the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred fighters were swept away; The thunderous tremors of the incessant explosion of ammunition rumbled like a heavy hammer on the hearts of the US officers and men, making them feel chills and horrors.

In the face of this sudden and devastating blow, a large number of American soldiers were completely confused, and they did not know what to do, while scolding the incompetence of the radar unit, and at the same time fleeing in the direction of the fire. The beams of light formed by the searchlights searched back and forth in the air over and over again, but there was no trace of any of the expected enemy planes. Finally, a golden pillar of light locked onto the trail of an airplane, and hundreds of anti-aircraft guns that poured out their anger from nowhere immediately smashed it to pieces with continuous dense fire, causing cheers from the American gunners; However, when they later examined the wreckage, they found that it was their own P-47 fighter. It turned out that after hearing the air defense siren, the pilot resolutely chose to attack at the first time with a strong sense of responsibility, but what he did not expect was that he did not see an incoming enemy plane, but died in the hands of his own air defense artillery. The most tragic and ironic situation in life is nothing more than this!

Looking at the roaring and rolling flames near the runway, Colonel Henry, who was standing in the radar room, was stunned; However, the young lieutenant next to him, Radar Chief, was the first to come back to his senses and loudly urged him to give orders to extinguish the fire and rescue equipment. Colonel Henry, who had finally recovered his normal mind, began to broadcast his instructions over and over again with the still-intact radio system, and order at the airport was gradually restored. However, his heart was cold, and this aviation base, which was home to a large number of warplanes, had now been hit ten times more catastrophic than the previous Luftwaffe bombing.
