Chapter 650: Top Weapon
On the afternoon of June 7th...
When the news of the total destruction of the Yamato fleet came back, the entire US Navy command was boiling.
On the aircraft carrier, the soldiers ran to the deck and cheered, both pilots and mechanics with smiles on their faces.
Yamato... Affectionately known to the Japanese as the Navy's proud flagship, its sheer size and powerful firepower did not save it from sinking.
Not only that, but in addition to the Yamato, the naval battle also sank two light cruisers, nine Asahata-class destroyers, and six supply transport ships, leaving only two destroyers, the Hamada and Kana, who escaped.
The number of casualties among the soldiers of the fleet was even more staggering, and the Yamato alone was present, and its losses were so great that the whole country was shocked.
The sinking of the Yamato into the sea dealt a huge blow to Japan's military and people's morale, and also meant that the Japanese navy had completely lost its war strength, and the Japanese empire was heading for extinction and disintegration.
……
At the same time, the command of the expeditionary force outside the Rangoon theater ...
Liao Mingyu, who had just sat down to smoke after dinner, also heard the sound of the system in his head...
"Ding... The Yamato fleet was destroyed, the flagship Yamato sank at 4:20 p.m. today, and in this battle, they dispatched a total of 24 F4U pirate fighters, and lost three, including one pilot killed in battle, and achieved the strategic goal and obtained two chances to extract weapons and equipment..."
Liao Mingyu immediately came to his senses, and the corners of his mouth hooked an upward range, it is very meaningful to be able to participate in this great historical event.
This news is reported by the system in real time, and the real news of the battle situation should not have come back yet, but it will not affect it, because the two lottery chances that appear in this matter are the focus.
"Draw now!!"
Liao Mingyu shouted excitedly in his heart, the cigarette in his hand said that it was not fragrant in an instant, and he concentrated on his inner world.
The erosive and intractable battle situation in Yangon has given Liao Mingyu a headache for several months, and the key is that he is reluctant to fill the life pit with the troops he has cultivated with great difficulty, which has also led to a stalemate on the battlefield until now.
The determination of the Japanese to break the kettle and sink the boat really cannot be underestimated, and the heavy artillery is covered by back and forth, flying carpet bombing, and even poison gas bombs are used.
Today, the battlefield of Yangon has long been reduced to rubble, but there are still many Japanese soldiers who have survived the ruins, and they are still a group of hungry wolves with weapons ready to fight back.
Take the battlefield in Yangon city as an example, it was attacked by the expeditionary force several times, but in the end it was still driven out by the devils.
The entire battlefield covers an area of more than 100 square kilometers, and the expeditionary force does not have an advantage in strength and cannot achieve effective control over the battlefield, so it can only maintain suppression in terms of equipment and firepower.
The Japanese also dug countless tunnels and underground fortresses under the rubble, and the frenzied fighting methods made the front-line soldiers complain, often occupying positions during the day and recaptured by the elusive enemy at night.
Moreover, the Japanese army began to accumulate a large amount of supplies, weapons and ammunition long before the arrival of the expeditionary force, which is not comparable to the idiots who fled to the islands in the Irrawaddy Delta, in order to fight a protracted war.
Just like what the dragon article said, the life of a soldier is cheap, not to mention the little devils who are not good people, don't look at the planes and cannons bombing every day, these grandsons are like rats who desperately want to survive, no matter how high the casualties are, someone will always survive.
If you don't remember the casualties, the fighting style will definitely be denied, Liao Mingyu still expects these troops in his hands to realize a bigger plan for him after the war, and it is not worth it to beat all the elites now.
The two draws that are now in place are also hard-won opportunities, and if there are weapons that can change the battlefield, then the situation will be clear.
"Ding... The first draw begins...... Congratulations to the host for obtaining the drawings and production data of the American-made C74 transport aircraft, and can establish a supporting production line at the base...
The transport aircraft can provide 125 passenger seats, a maximum load of 21 tons, a maximum flight speed of 528 km/h, a maximum range of 6,500 km, and a single cost of 20,000 points..."
Listening to the introduction of the system, Liao Mingyu slowly recalled the memories in his mind.
He remembered that this thing seemed to be equipped by the U.S. military after World War II, and it was also a heavy transport aircraft developed by Douglas, the predecessor of Boeing.
The C74, also known as the first-generation Globemaster, was unique in its excellent flight performance and carrying capacity at the time, and was several times stronger than the C47 transport aircraft used today in every respect.
Although it is a bit more expensive, this kind of strategic equipment is not something that can be bought with money, and you must know that the Douglas company of the United States is still in the stage of experimentation and first flight, and the US military itself has not yet used it, but let him try it first.
didn't say anything, Liao Mingyu immediately asked the system to arrange to open up a new production line and plant in the Heihe base, anyway, now he is not short of money, just those few mining industries can bring him a huge amount of points income every day.
"Ding... Does the host continue to extract weaponry? ”
"Of course!"
To strike while the iron was hot, Liao Mingyu chose to continue without hesitation, and as soon as he came, he drew a good thing, which made him have more expectations in his heart.
"Random weapons and equipment are being drawn...... Congratulations to the host for obtaining a BLU-82 vacuum bomb, which can be dropped by bomber delivery.
However, due to the fact that the technical indicators of this weapon are too advanced to be produced by the base for the time being, please make persistent efforts to upgrade the system base and unlock more technological functions. ”
“BLU-82? What kind of bomb is this? ”
Liao Mingyu was puzzled for a while, and the name seemed to be a new type of aerial bomb, but the specific data system was not mentioned for the first time.
"Ding... In system data recovery, BLU-82 vacuum bomb data is as follows... With a total weight of 6.5 tons and a kill radius of 200 meters, it can form a high-temperature and high-pressure explosive force field over the target, which has a good lethal effect on concrete facilities, underground fortifications and armored targets..."
"It's... Isn't this a cloudburst bomb!? ”
Liao Mingyu stood up suddenly, his face full of incredulity.
Not only because of the shock, but also because he was so focused that he burned his butt so much that he didn't even notice his fingers, and it hurt him to bared his teeth for a while.
"Junza? What's wrong? The staff officer next to him thought something was going on and hurriedly ran over to ask.
Liao Mingyu realized that he was out of shape, hurriedly waved his hand, turned around and walked out of the command headquarters, and found a relatively quiet place to continue asking questions about the system.
"Uncle System, have we drawn a cloudburst bomb??"
"Ding... The BLU-82 vacuum bomb is indeed a type of cloudburst bomb, but it should not theoretically have appeared in this era, let alone be drawn by the host, which is really strange..."
