Chapter 225: Burning the Sea of Hellfire
The Windranger is another type of air force purchased by Falkenridge, and although it is not as destructive as the Flame Air Cavalry, it has the advantage of being agile and fast, and can handle some small-scale sweeping and escort missions.
This type of aircraft is mainly used in Havar to protect the Flame Cavalry, which can only attack ground targets, because the enemies of the Haval Empire often have weapons that can attack aircraft in the air, so the task of the Windranger is to destroy those things.
Falkenridge also purchased a small number of Windrangers, but since Stacy didn't have any flying machines, these Windrangers were only used to assist ground forces in their attacks.
At this moment, when the officer realized what was happening, he immediately dropped the communication crystal in his hand, pushed open the office door, and rushed to the end of the corridor.
As he ran desperately through the empty corridors, he shouted loudly as he had just gotten the information: "The Flaming Sky Cavalry of the Falkenridge is flying towards us!
"Hey, I'm ...... What? Need to evacuate the factory immediately and the employees? They are working, and this is probably not an easy thing to do. ”
A Stasi army commander in Norfolstad, holding a communication crystal, said to General Karl over there, "This place is full of raw materials and factories...... I can't move everything here in ten minutes, Mr. General. ”
Before he could finish what he wanted to say, the air raid sirens in the city echoed, apparently some distant guard posts spotted the Falkenridge army aircraft and sounded the alarm to alert the people in the city.
"Mr. General, you have given you too late notice...... Theoretically, we should have gotten the news thirty minutes ago, but now that the air raid sirens had gone off, I knew that the Falkenridge flying machine had arrived. ”
The junior general reluctantly continued: "If it is true, as you say, that the Falkenridge army has more than two hundred flying machines, then Norfolstad, it is now over. ”
Falkenridge's King Ves, who was actually the same as the steam chariot, was not satisfied with the backward models purchased from the Havar Empire. Therefore, in the past six months, the scholars loyal to the Tokamak faction in the Japanese Optical Society have cooperated with the military to continuously develop their own flaming air cavalry under the signal of Aelo.
Fortunately, Falkenridge's original technology accumulation was almost to the extent that it could make flying machines, but the most core technology had been controlled by the four empires before, so after Hawar opened the exit of the Flame Air Cavalry, the Falkenridge people broke through the technical barriers at the first time and successfully formed an air force.
The reason why Stasi still doesn't have flying machines is the opposite of Falkenridge: Archduke Jon's family has always looked down on flying machines, believing them to be too unreliable, so they don't pay attention to this aspect of development. This can actually be seen from Archduke Jon's preference for ground units with strong destructive and defensive power such as the Earth Dragon Knight.
In half a year, Falkenridge's result was the new flying machine that is now attacking Stasi, the Hellfire Troopers.
Although Falkenridge's new aircraft is currently only available in this model, it is not much different from the original Flame Air Cavalry in appearance, but it is slightly more streamlined and larger overall. So when these Hellfire Cavalry are overwhelming, it is difficult to feel the development of the Falkenridge Air Force.
However, Falkenridge's aviation industry is not conservative and cautious in this regard, on the contrary, it has made numerous modifications and innovations to its own designs. The soldiers on the outside may not be very clear, but just inside the Falkenridge Air Force, a total of four overhauled models have appeared.
The first is the most primitive Falkenridge Flame Air Cavalry, the first model of the most authentic Havar Empire, this kind of flying machine was only used on a large scale half a year ago, and it is no longer visible. Because under the day and night cracking of Noele and others, it was completely replaced by the more advanced Hellfire Cavalry Type 1 - the flying machine independently developed by Falkenridge and others.
The largest number of Falkenridge Air Force productions is this Hellfire Cavalry Type 1, which replaces the original expensive metal materials with many new materials, and forms a special assembly line, which is more reliable and cheaper. However, it was not yet considered the best strategic vehicle by the Falkenridge people, so after producing a small number of these vehicles, the Falkenridge army began equipping the new air force units with the more advanced Hellfire Cavalry II.
Strictly speaking, the biggest improvement of the Hellfire Trooper Type 2 is the use of the still embryonic theory of magic science, using a phlogiston engine that combines magic and technology.
This new phlogiston-based engine provides greater efficiency, allowing the Hellfire Troopers II to have faster speeds and longer ranges. Of course, there are other improvements in the Hellfire Trooper Type II, such as the appearance of simple self-defense weapons, and more sophisticated production processes.
However, after producing more than fifty Hellfire Trooper II on their own, the Falkenridges once again improved their Air Force main combat unit, this time in terms of bombsights and the structural materials of the aircraft.
The latest Hellfire Trooper III has a lighter fuselage so it is faster, and the new bomb targeting equipment makes the high-altitude bombardment more accurate, so the Hellfire Trooper III has produced more than 100 aircraft this month, becoming the main player in this attack.
If you count the original Flame Cavalry, the total number of attack vehicles owned by the Falkenridge Air Force is more than three hundred, and because of the strict quality control and the hard work of the Falkenridge Air Force ground crew, these aircraft maintain an impressive attendance rate.
And this time, the Falkenridge army concentrated all the Hellfire cavalry they deployed, just to turn the city of Norfolstad into ruins!
"Bomb dropping!"
With one order after another, the Hellfire Cavalry troops, who had lowered their altitude, began to drop hanging high-explosive bombs from the open bomb bays, which were responsible for destroying as many of Stasi's heavy buildings as possible and destroying those fortified houses.
A second batch of 100 aircraft was followed by incendiary bombs that set the collapsed houses on fire, burning the wooden structures inside and everything else that could be burned. This arrangement was intended to intensify the effect of the bombing and completely destroy this important transportation hub in Stasi.
From the moment the first bomb was dropped on the streets of Norfosta, all the Stasi officers here knew that Nolstosta was finished.
Five months ago, the anti-aircraft weapons here had been requisitioned to the front lines in all other directions by the fearsome senior commanders of the Air Force, and it was only recently that there was barely a measly measly anti-aircraft force here.
In the words of McCarthy and Archduke Jon, air defense should be based on the fact that frontal defense can hold back the enemy, otherwise if the front line is lost, what is the use of so many anti-aircraft guns?
The earth shook with the explosion of the Falkenridge Army's bombs, the windows clicked as they shook, cries and cries for help everywhere, buildings collapsed one by one over time, and the dust kicked up began to obscure the sky.
Barely intercepted, and with little interference from the anti-aircraft guns, Falkenridge's Hellfire Cavalry acted as if they were putting on a show, dropping the ammunition they were carrying at what seemed to be their most valuable target, and comparing the map they quickly found valuable areas, where the arsenals gathered were clearly visible in the scopes of these Flame Sky Cavalry.
"Click!" Gently pressing the bomb drop button under his finger, one huge bomb after another broke free from the constraints of the aircraft due to gravity, and they swayed and adjusted their posture in the air current, and flew irregularly along the parabola towards their target.
The Hellfire Troopers were followed by a second and third, flying machines that were also dropping their bombs at their targets, and the ground began to pour out exploding flowers, one after the other, as if they were painting on a huge canvas.
"Hold up! Hold your speed! Maximize the accuracy of your bombardment, gentlemen! We are the farthest force Falkenridge has ever reached in Stasi, and we can cheer and celebrate when we return!"
The commander squeezed the air communication device in his hand and reminded with some joy. He was answered by more Falkenridge army aircraft dropping more bombs, raining down on the entire Norfolstad.
In the factory area, the shock wave from the explosion shattered the glass on both sides of the tall building, and the steel welded roof broke apart due to the shock and began to collapse along the wall, burying the machinery inside and the workers who had no time to dodge.
In the lush factory area, many workers ran along the forest to a safe place, and from time to time there were smoke from explosions rising from their side, and flying shrapnel took away countless lives. Pieces of iron and steel balls flew everywhere and were embedded in the trunks of the trees, like throwing knives stuck in the cracks of the masonry, and some of them were still stained with blood, which looked eerie.
Unfortunately, the Hellfire Troopers overhead had no intention of going far at all, most of the flying machines had not yet flown over the city, and everything showed that the suffering had just begun, and the nightmare was just the beginning of a big show.
Everyone ran in despair, hiding in the surrounding buildings, but that only delayed death a little.
Falkenridge's plan is to turn the whole city into flames!
Now, the second group of Falkenridge's Hellfire Cavalry began to pour the incendiary bombs they carried, and the fire immediately spread through the streets of the city, and the smoke that had been ignited by the explosion turned into a red fire at this moment, devouring everything that could be burned.
Broken wardrobes, clothes curtains and even desks and sheets in collapsed houses, there were so many things in the city that could be burned, so the Molotov cocktails dropped by the Hellfire Troopers ignited too many things to make the name worthy of its name.
