The 854 opens the era of guidance!

March 28, 3 a.m., Bermuda. 【 I want: super fast update 】

In the field airfield, 72 Thor bombers with vulture patterns printed on the fuselage are neatly arranged on the tarmac, thanks to the British strategy of containing the United States before the war, the British Bermuda Islands naval base is far better than Malta, although the temporary airfield is after the war Britain and the United States came together, temporarily built by the United States, the runway is still a very simple dirt runway, but other facilities and conditions are relatively perfect.

With the aftermath of the Battle of Bermuda, the Marines captured the island with little resistance, not only taking control of the island in just two days, but also preserving all the facilities that had been urgently built here after the war between Britain and the United States.

The only regret is that almost all the fuel and ammunition here were loaded onto the British and American fleets at that time, so in order to be able to use this base, the navy had to urgently transfer several oil tankers from Panama City, but the vulture squadron still waited for a full month and received a batch of ammunition supplies.

Since entering the United States, perhaps the only thing that does not worry everyone is gasoline, because almost all of the Midwest regions of the United States occupied by the empire are oil-producing areas, and with the control of Thomas Oil Company, the two major oil companies in East Texas and the Gulf of Mexico have not even stopped production during the war.

The army and navy fleets are not worried about running out of fuel, but the problem is that the air force and navy are often short of oil, which is mainly to ensure the power output of the engines.

Tons of aviation gasoline were poured into the bombers' tanks from tankers that were temporarily used as oil depots hundreds of meters away, and the air crew had to make sure that each plane carried 16 oil drums that could hold 20 kilograms of gasoline each, in addition to helping the vultures fill their tanks.

Because the target of this bombing was 1,250 kilometers away from Bermuda, which was a little far away for Thor, he had to carry extra fuel to prevent accidents.

"Head, the Navy guys are coming."

Helian Yu, who was checking the plane with the technician, immediately turned his head to look when he heard the sound, only to see a dozen guys wearing HNA flight suits and embroidered dragon wings at the airport.

"Damn, why don't we go get them together?" A vulture thought of the clear-code telegram that was now famous in the world, and even children knew about it, and looked at the Air Force Silver Wing logo at his mouth and made a good suggestion.

If it were in a tavern or somewhere else, this suggestion might resonate with everyone, but not now, not to mention that the leader was Vice Admiral Lefei, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Naval Aviation, and no one wanted to grin just because he thought that he would definitely be eliminated from this mission after a fight.

Because everyone has been waiting for this task for a long time.

Bomb New York!

"Colonel of the Vulture Brigade of the Fourth Air Division, Helian Yu has seen the general."

"You're welcome." After Le Fei returned the salute to Helian Yu, he turned his head and pointed to the back: "There are a total of 17 people, acting with you to test and familiarize themselves with the bomb." ”

"No problem." Helian Yu immediately asked his partner to arrange a random arrangement for Long Yi, and then took Le Fei to introduce him to the vulture brigade, when more than a dozen soldiers pushed a big bomb that looked a little weird, as if it had wings, Le Fei's eyes lit up and hurriedly walked in to take a closer look.

"That's it?"

"Yes, this is the bomber-specific version of the "Little Fat" B type, as well as the smaller 800 kg main A type, which has been tested with live ammunition and installed in parallel. [ I want to: super fast update ] "When Helian Yu pointed to the bomb to introduce Lefei, he couldn't help but raise his head confidently, because at present, this 1600 kg B type can only be carried by Thor bombers. ”

Le Fei crouched and looked carefully at the large bomb that was being carefully stuffed into the belly bomb bay.

Different from the ordinary Air Force "Little Fat" heavy bomb, this aerial bomb has wide cross wings on the body, and the tail is also in shape, and the tail can be rotated from the hinged place, and there are six light-emitting canisters at the tail of the bomb body.

Although it is not the first time that Lefei has seen this special bomb, it is the first time he has seen it appear on the battlefield.

"Now we call it the one-eyed wolf."

Le Fei nodded, and changed his name from Chubby to One-Eyed Wolf, but not only changed his name, but maybe he could even use a different world to describe the modified heavy aerial bomb in front of him.

Because, this is the first guided bomb that can increase the hit rate by adjusting the position by radio after the bomb leaves the plane!

Guidance, the name was first called by the emperor, literally interpreted as the technology of controlling and guiding an aircraft to fly to a target or a predetermined orbit.

"One-eyed wolf" is a radio-guided bomb, developed from 1912, and in early January 16 for live fire testing, in March began mass production, the Air Force has also been secretly testing it, while using the existing large number of small fat heavy bombs for modification, with the addition of wings and tails, and the addition of gyroscopes and radio receivers specially used to control gliding.

According to Helianyu's introduction, after the one-eyed wolf is dropped, the six light-emitting canisters at the tail of the missile body will quickly light up, so that the pilot can see the attitude of the bomb falling during the operation, and then the carrier aircraft will control the electromagnetic drive rudder surface installed on the tail through radio, and adjust its course to intervene until it hits the target.

Judging from the performance of a large number of actual combat tests, under the condition of good visibility, the "one-eyed wolf" dropped from a distance of five kilometers to the target and an altitude of six kilometers to a circular target with a radius of 35 meters hit more than 90 percent.

This is unthinkable, this accuracy has even reached the level of the night owl dive bomber, which has a short combat radius and is also exposed to anti-aircraft fire when diving.

There is a simple statistic, previously a Thor bomber wanted to destroy a building the size of a warehouse, and when using the same 1600 kg heavy conventional n bombs, it needed at least 4 to 6 pieces, but now two more can ensure destruction!

Not only is the efficiency significantly reduced, but the cost is also low.

The only pity is that the current radio guidance components are still too large, so they can only be used to modify small 800 kg aerial bombs, in order to simplify logistics, the Navy and Air Force currently only purchase 800 and 1600 kg A and B two models, the former is mainly used for naval aviation and the Air Force Kunpeng bomber and Storm attack aircraft, the latter is a hammer tailored for Thor.

Due to the high effectiveness of the "one-eyed wolf" series of guided bombs, after completing the preliminary tests at the beginning of 16 years, Li Mo ordered small-scale manufacturing, exercising manufacturing capabilities and making reserves at the same time, and under his promotion, about 600 sets of radio guidance components can be manufactured in China every month.

Soon after the "one-eyed wolf" was loaded into the magazine, 72 Thor bombers issued orders to complete their preparations one after another, and seeing that Lefei was also preparing to drill into his bomber, Helian Yu was startled.

"General, you are ......."

"It's okay, our navy is about to use this bomb, so I have to learn from you first." After Le Fei finished speaking, he didn't forget to ask: "By the way, how long does it take to get to New York?" ”

"At our pace, we can get to New York at about 10 a.m., when the sun comes out, and even if there is fog, it will almost disperse." Since Le Fei said this, Helian Yu couldn't refuse, so he could only secretly warn himself that this time he must fly to a stable point, not to play fancy, and not to drill into the dense air defense points like the heroes usually do.

Seventy-two Thor bombers began to rush out of the runway in the morning light, and because the sea and air forces had already mastered the air supremacy of the east coast, only eight Air Force Mustang fighters escorted the vulture group.

After all the formations took off, Helian Yu ordered to rise to an altitude of 10,000 meters, which could not only avoid detection, but also save a lot of fuel.

At this time, the vultures had already learned that General Le Fei, who sent out the "air strike, I am king", was accompanying them in the formation to carry out this bombing mission, so everyone was extra energetic.

After a three-hour flight in the large triangle formation, the eight Mustang fighters escorting the escort began to return due to range and fuel, and shortly after they left, dozens of Hornet fighters appeared on the sea.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Long Island finally appeared on the sea level.

Although March was still more cold, the fog-shrouded New York City gradually became clear after the sun rose at 10 a.m.

Although the Dragon Wing and the Silver Wing did not like each other, they were very well coordinated, and the escorting Hornet fighters quickly split up and began to descend, lowering the altitude to divert anti-aircraft fire and cover the bomber formation at high altitude to avoid the shells.

Sure enough, after the dragon wings who were the first to lower their altitude were discovered, a dense black smoke ball appeared over New York, and from a distance, it looked like the Grim Reaper was setting off black flowers.

"Where are we targeting?" Ignoring this, Le Fei leaned over to the navigator and asked as he looked at his fingers moving across the map.

"It's a stock exchange, General." Even though Le Fei was sitting next to him, the navigator rubbed his hands together excitedly after saying his goal.

His action made Le Fei laugh dumbly, no wonder people were so excited, if he grabbed the goal of bombing the famous New York Stock Exchange, he would probably laugh when he slept.

"Three minutes left, get ready to drop the bomb."

At the same time as Helianyu's voice sounded, the bomb dropper and controller immediately drilled into the bomb magazine to unlock the safety, and then climbed to the observation window under the nose of the aircraft, while sticking to the glass, firmly grasping the wireless remote control that controlled the guided bomb with one hand.

"General, sit down, I'm going to descend in height!"

After Helian Yu glanced at Le Fei, he controlled the air bomber to descend rapidly, and at the same time, because the bomb bay door had been opened, the plane was violently turbulent after being hit by the air current.

Although it has been bombed many times by the dragon wings, the anti-aircraft fire in New York is still relatively intensive, but most of them are temporary machine guns, and the number of rapid-fire guns is still insufficient.

Under the navigator's reminder, Lefei saw the New York Stock Exchange building standing on Wall Street, all made of granite.

Looking down at the sky, the vast exchange building is like a strong castle, from Lefei's point of view, the main 250/500 kg bombs currently equipped by HNA are calculated, and it is difficult to shake this big guy without throwing down seventeen or eighteen bombs.

"Untie the insurance."

"Wind speed."

"Azimuth 110, distance 5 km, bomb drop."

The clear command stopped abruptly with the next sentence, and Le Fei hurriedly put his face against the window and looked out.

In order to make Le Fei see more clearly, Helian Yu deliberately tilted the fuselage, so that he could clearly see that the "one-eyed wolf" that had just left the magazine was swooping towards the target.

Thanks to the six luminous canisters at the tail, Lefei, who was holding the telescope, could track the bomb very clearly, only to see that the tail and wings of the bomb were adjusted and deflected from time to time under the control of radio commands, controlling the trajectory and angle of the bomb.

When the "one-eyed wolf", which weighs 16 tons itself, falls from a height of 6,000 meters, the speed can reach more than 1,000 kilometers per hour, and it only takes about 20 seconds to touch the ground.

However, these 20 seconds are extremely critical for the controller, who must not only be able to clearly distinguish whether the trajectory is flying towards the target, but also need to control the bomb continuously in order to ensure accuracy.

The 16x Zeiss telescope imported from Germany before the war can ensure that Lefei can see every detail clearly.

When the number in the navigator's mouth arrived at 22, a scene that would never be forgotten was revealed.

Le Fei only saw that under the control of the bombardier, the 1,600-kilogram "one-eyed wolf" radio-guided bomb accurately passed from the top of the New York Stock Exchange, and the hard armor-piercing warhead ensured that the bomb penetrated the roof of the building, and at the same time, hundreds of kilograms of standard n** in the bomb were sent inside.

A violent explosion occurred inside the New York Stock Exchange, and at the same time as the air waves and fire blew all the glass and decorations away, a huge mushroom cloud suddenly lifted off the roof and rushed out.

Everyone saw that the building, located at 11 Wall Street in New York City, opened in 1903, was known as the world's largest stock exchange before the war, and became a symbol of wealth and freedom in the United States.

Le Fei nodded with satisfaction, not satisfied with the closed New York Stock Exchange, but with an intuitive understanding of the accuracy and effectiveness of the "one-eyed wolf" radio-guided bomb.

With 72 Thor bombs dropping one after another, the whole of New York was shrouded in a terrible cloud of explosions, flames flowed between every building in New York, and by the time the fire truck roared to the important Wall Street, it was almost in ruins!

The group left an indelible wound on New York and began to return home, at which point Lefei saw the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty, which is still scorched and blackened, leaving only half of it.

The fleet from Hawaii has already arrived in Panama, a total of 3,500 800-kilogram Type A "One-Eyed Wolf" radio-guided bombs, 4,000 500-kilogram special thermite incendiary bombs, plus another 6,000 250 and 500 kilogram incendiary and armor-piercing high-explosive bombs, what kind of trauma will be caused to Britain?!

Importantly, when these bombs are dropped, it also indicates that the world will enter the era of guidance!
