Chapter 223: Hell on Earth

"Cooper, you've arrived at your target, and you're going to get a radio signal from the liaison here."

The 17 bombers were hovering over the South Sky Gate, and Anderson, the pilot in the cab, gave instructions to the radio security officer.

"Understood." Cooper immediately adjusted the signal to the corresponding channel: "Call, this is the bombing group of the 4th Air Squadron, please answer if you receive it." ”

The walkie-talkie emitted a short short-wave murmur: "... Rogerthat, I'm Front Liaison Officer McLuhan, please report back on your situation. ”

Young Cooper pressed the intercom button again and said very leisurely: "Hey, brother! It's a nice day, and according to your request, there are 6 milk pounds on the plane, so please bomb the target for us. ”

"Milk pound" is a joking name for napalm, and it is also a nightmare for the Japanese in the Pacific Theater.

"Whew... The target is on the anticline of the mountain on the west bank, do you see a huge tree? ”

Through the viewing glass, Anderson and the others soon discovered the very conspicuous tree fort on the top of the mountain.

“Oh,myGod! See, what a Big Mac. Cooper replied in surprise, apparently surprised by the size of the sacred tree.

"Please avoid this big tree as much as possible and carry out a covering bombardment of the anticline of the entire mountain, where a large number of Japanese are attacking." McLuhan's serious voice came again.

"Understood, the bombing will start in 5 minutes."

After speaking, Anderson looked at the co-pilot: "Adjust the flight altitude and prepare for bombing!" ”

The engine of the "Buzz ......" B17 let out a loud roar, and the entire flight formation flew overhead the Nantianmen, and they began to adjust their altitude and turn in the distance, flying towards the target location.

"Wesker, be on your guard." Anderson said as he picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Roger!" Wesker, who was piloting the P40, immediately replied: "Kevin, let's stay up there." ”

"Understood."

At the same time, the two twin-plane escort formations began to disperse, the group of Wesker and Kevin jumped into the sky around the cloud alert, and the other group maintained the same altitude and distance from the B17, and continued to fly with the big guy.

“Allright! Open the bomb box, girls, it's show time! Anderson shouted excitedly.

The entire crew inside the bomber is in place, the bomb compartment is slowly opened, and Cooper, who is also the bombardier, uses the famous Norton bomber sight to calibrate the trajectory.

As the king of its contemporaries, this high-precision sight has a unique trick that automatically calculates two angles, one based on the current aircraft altitude, airspeed, and the bomb's trajectory. The other is the angle between the current ground speed and heading direction of the aircraft and the target.

These two angular values are different, and the sight control autopilot constantly adjusts the route until the angle of the bomb is coinciding with the angle between the target, and the aircraft is exactly at the point of dropping. At this time, the sight automatically drops the bomb and can accurately hit the target.

The US military top brass even exaggerated that their bombers could easily hit targets from an altitude of 9,000 meters, with an error of no more than 20 meters. This has little effect on some aerial bombs with a radius of more than 50 meters.

The Japanese had long noticed the giant in the sky, but their two 20-millimeter anti-aircraft guns were helpless against the B17 hovering at an altitude of several thousand meters, and the Japanese army, lacking air defense, was doomed to be passively beaten.

12:15 p.m......

17 Aerial fortresses flew over the anticline of Nantianmen, but the Japanese troops who were still attacking did not know that a disaster had befallen them.

One by one, "milk pounds" were thrown from the belly of the B17, and a single napalm weighing 300 kilograms smashed towards the ground at a very fast speed.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

……

Although this air fortress carried only 6 "milk pounds". But the power was incomparable, and the flames that burst out swept towards the earth like six long snakes!

"Ahh

"助けて!"

"Help! Ahhh ”

……

Countless exposed Japanese soldiers were set on fire, writhing their bodies frantically and letting out a miserable howl.

Companions who were not attacked nearby still wanted to go up to the rescue, but when the burning oil fell on a person, it was impossible to shoot it off the body, and its adhesion was unimaginable.

If you insist on patting with your hands, the fire on your body will not only not be extinguished, but will get bigger and bigger, which is definitely a very torturous process.

Those who were injected with napalm had to endure the burning of their skin in an extremely painful process before they died, and they were very conscious before they realized that they were dead.

Now the entire anticline has fallen into a sea of fire, hundreds of Japanese soldiers have been burned to the ground in an instant, and this place has become a hell on earth!

The Japanese soldiers at the center of the explosion were lucky, at least they didn't suffer much before they went to see Amaterasu. And those little devils who were splashed with oil can understand what it means to live rather than die, including the team wearing chemical protection suits and preparing to attack Tree Fort.

The Japanese soldiers, who were constantly struggling, even threw oil on the others, causing more casualties. And those who are contaminated with the flame can only wait for the flame to extinguish itself unless they cut off the burning part.

This kind of pain and suffering that has been attached to the bones is difficult to describe in words, and only the person concerned can feel the horror in it.

There are also large areas of woods and shrubs on the reverse slope, which are excellent combustion, and the whole hillside is like a forest fire, billowing smoke into the sky

Screams, curses, and indecisiveness, the little devil can only wash away his sins in this scorching flame.

The entire Fifth Brigade was largely lost, and even the captain of the Brigade was left dead in the explosion of the petrol bomb. Even the two positions located halfway up the anticline have been affected to a certain extent.

……

“Goodjob! Huh! Anderson on the plane let out a screech like a western cowboy and whipped his hands.

"Haha! I'd love to see these East Asian monkeys dancing in the flames. ”

Looking at their masterpiece, all the crew cheered loudly and excitedly, and there was nothing happier for them than a perfect bomb drop.

Just when the B17 began to bombard, the Sichuan Corps, together with all the artillery of the Yu Division, opened fire on the Japanese frontal defense line!

“wo! Look at this, is the artillery of our friendly forces already so strong? ”

Through the observation glass, Cooper saw that the Japanese positions below had turned into a sea of shells, and countless bullet impact points covered half of the Nantianmen, as if even the earth was trembling.

The power of the salvo of dozens of artillery pieces of various types can be imagined, and the explosion shook the heavens and the earth. Dense shells rained down on the Japanese army's second and third defense lines, blasting the land into honeycomb coal.

There is no longer a little devil in sight on the position, and no one will hide in the trenches and die with this terrible shell, which is because he thinks his life is too long. Takeuchi gave the order early, and everyone went into the underground passage to hide from the shells.

Although on the surface, the Japanese army has been completely suppressed and its advantages have been lost. But they were like the hateful mountain rats, hiding in these rat holes unharmed, and even such a horrific bombardment could not completely wipe them out.

What about the Chinese people's cannons? Takeuchi knew very well that as long as he could shrink, he would be able to withstand a limited number of casualties.

No matter what, this war has to continue, and each other is holding back a ruthless energy, and it is bound to seize every opportunity to break each other into pieces.

Chen Jize took advantage of this artillery bombardment to quickly lead his troops to approach the mid-mountain rocks, the Sichuan Army cleared various hidden forts and roads in front, and Zhang Lixian led Yu Shi to quickly establish a defensive line and build a position.

There are still a lot of Japanese scouts in the middle of the mountain, and these crazy guys have also caused some losses to the Sichuan-Yu coalition army.

They hid in half-buried gasoline drums, shooting at the onrushing soldiers, or committing suicide attacks with grenades in their hands.

The best way to deal with these maniacs is to cover them with firepower, just like the Yankees in the Pacific Theater, whether you are a group or a group hiding in a corner, first shoot indiscriminately with machine guns and submachine guns, and then make up for a rocket.

The Japanese scouts only blocked for a moment, and in the face of Chen Jize's powerful firepower, any trickery defense was useless.

The shelling was almost over, and the Sichuan-Yu coalition forces occupied the mid-mountain rocks as fast as they could, and were cleaning up the exposed tunnels, and flamethrowers were the best cleaning agent.
