At first glance, these giant thermobaric bombs with white parachutes look like dandelion seeds, but they are "seeds" that bring death and destruction.
"Boom, boom...... At an altitude of about 100 meters above the ground, the bombs exploded one after another............
After an earth-shattering bang, 72 huge "mushroom clouds" rose from the Singapore Fortress, and a violent shock wave swept through everything around it with blazing heat, and all exposed objects outside the bunker were wiped out.
Giant thermobaric bombs, although powerful, are not very effective against solid targets with defense, so they target Class II targets, that is, those with a caliber of 94 mm or more, the emplacements of 6 to 8-inch guns, observation posts, and minefields......
The explosion of 72 HD-27 Type C "Supreme Treasure" giant thermobaric bombs kicked up a large amount of dust, so that the entire Singapore fortress was covered in smoke and dust, and the view was completely obscured, and the effect of the attack could not be seen clearly.
Colonel Li Jianye was not in a hurry, he continued to circle the sky with the group, how far Saigon is from Singapore, the straight-line distance is almost 1,000 kilometers. For the H-11, this distance is nothing at all, and their fuel is enough to go back here for half a day.
Originally, Li Jianye thought that he would have to wait for more than an hour or two, but at this time, a northeast wind blew, and after about half an hour, the smoke and dust were blown away, and Li Jianye hurriedly ordered his subordinates to take pictures quickly. At the same time, he himself was lying on the telescope to the ground and observing.
I saw that the Singapore fortress below was already devastated. The fortress, which had been largely intact after days of bombardment, was like a cake that had been broken by a bear child, with hundreds of terrible holes on it, which turned outward, revealing the steel bars and deformed steel plates inside. These holes were supposed to be still smoking and even burning, but the oxygen concentration in the area plummeted during the subsequent thermobaric bomb attack, and these fireworks were extinguished.
After watching it for more than ten minutes, Li Jianye said: "Well, the effect is not very ideal, only about half of the first-class targets have been destroyed, and a small number of them are partially destroyed......"
"That's right, Captain. There are only about two hundred targets in one category, let's do it again......" The captain was also watching, and he was very satisfied. One regiment's H-11 destroyed most of the Singapore fortress, which is already a good result.
Li Jianye rolled his eyes: "I want to do it again, but it's a pity that there is no guy." ”
"Huh, the flowers on the bar are gone?" the captain was shocked. It's such a fun thing.
"Yes, we came out this time to empty the inventory of the flowers on the bar, and we don't have to do it! If you want to play again, you have to wait for the manufacturer to make it. But there are still about twenty Supreme Treasures......" Li Jianye waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go back......"
"Hey, Factory 823 doesn't know how to do more, it's really ......"
The 54 bombers of the 324th Bomber Regiment circled the sky and turned back to Saigon under the escort of the J-12 "Warhawks" of the two brigades.
..................................................................
Li Jianye was not satisfied with the outcome of the attack, but the commander-in-chief of the Malayan garrison, Lieutenant General Arthur Percival, who was the defender, was about to cry.
At this time, he was standing in front of the original No. 65 gun position, where the original 18-inch heavy gun had been blown to pieces, the barrel thicker than a human was thrown to the ground more than 40 meters away, and bent into an irregular W-shape, all the equipment in the gun room had been destroyed, and many of them could no longer recognize what it was.
The walls, floors, and ceilings of the chamber were charred black, and in some places there was even vitrification, which was caused by the high temperature melting the sand and stone. Although the flame has now been extinguished, the temperature inside is still a little high.
In addition, a hole with a diameter of more than five meters was blown out of the floor in the gun chamber, and the hole was surrounded by steel bars with branches and forks, and the floor of this layer of reinforced concrete could be as thick as 1 meter, which was blown out of a big hole. The servos and ammunition lifting device below have been twisted to the point where they are not in shape.
On the contrary, the hole in the ceiling is about a meter in diameter, the wall of the hole is amazingly smooth, all of them have been burned into glass by high temperature, near the hole in the inner layer, the roof armor has cracked a lot, and the broken steel plate has turned out inward, looking like a sandworm's mouth.
The entire gun emplacement was completely destroyed, but fortunately, the arrangement of this fortress gun was different from that of the naval guns, and their ammunition depot was not directly below, but in the depths of the ground more than fifty meters away from the side, so this ground-penetrating shell did not cause the ammunition to detonate, and the situation would be even more miserable. But even so, you can see the power of the ground-penetrating bomb just now.
"Your Excellency, according to the preliminary statistics of losses just now, 70 percent of our heavy artillery of 12 inches and above has been lost, 60 percent of our anti-aircraft artillery has been lost, ammunition depots No. 4 and No. 6 have been destroyed, and command posts No. 1, No. 3, and No. 7 have been destroyed......," said the chief of staff, Major General Louis Heath, holding a long list of losses, with a pale face.
“...... 13,472 were killed and 27,652 wounded. Some of them are too badly injured to last long......" Rear Admiral Heath said depressedly, "...... Among them, Major General Henry Bennett, commander of the 8th Division of the Australian Army, Brigadier General Walma, commander of the 3rd Marat Brigade, were killed, and Brigadier General Ahmed of the Pakistani Brigade was seriously wounded......"
At this time, several surviving high-ranking generals were present, and the casualties of the soldiers had little to do with them, and they sighed at most when they heard it. However, the casualties of several division commanders and brigade commanders made them feel sad that rabbits were dead and foxes were sad, and things were injured.
Hearing this, everyone swallowed with difficulty. If they want to say that they have also seen the world, and can become generals, which one is not a half-born horse? But the air raid just now really frightened them, and this is a horror that they have never encountered in their lives. Many of them had participated in the First World War, but the air raids at the time of the First World War were as gentle as fog compared to the previous ones.
Lieutenant General Percival secretly broke out in a cold sweat, and he couldn't help but be glad that he was inspecting the hospital during the air raid just now, and he didn't stay at Command Post No. 1, otherwise he would definitely be a scum now. The No. 1 command post was blown up by a pole flower, and dozens of officers and soldiers inside were completely wiped out, and even the bodies could not be found. Yes, there was not even blood, just a dark shadow of a few figures on the wall. There is no way, under 2 tons of high-efficiency explosives, there are really no bones left.
"Oh God...... These Chinese bombs are terrible!" Lieutenant General Percival looked around and couldn't help but sigh with a pale face.
After experiencing the air raid just now, he had no confidence to hold on for more than half a year.
Seeing the tragic situation of the fortress, the generals were also shocked when they looked at each other.
Major General Henry Winter of the Ninth Division of the Australian Army said: "Your Excellency, we cannot resist such a super bomb, this is completely beyond our common sense...... I don't think it's a shame to surrender to the Chinese now. It's not that we're not doing our best, it's that there's nothing we can do. ”
"Yes, the morale of the soldiers is very low, and the chaplain can't be appeased. They even said it was a punishment from God...... "Brigadier General George Dietmer, commander of the 1st New Zealand Brigade," also helped.
At the beginning of these two, the generals spoke one after another. The meaning is almost the same, that is: "Surrender, we can't bear the ......." It's not that our army is not strong, it's just that the Chinese army has a Gundam ......
Well, it's not that they're really afraid of death, it's that this is not their territory. These troops are either from Australia and New Zealand, or from the Indian subcontinent, and Malaya is out of business. And then there is the feeling that this way of dying is too embarrassing.
While the Commonwealth is debating the next step, the relevant Chinese authorities are analyzing and summarizing the last attack. At the same time, the next attack is also being prepared. And this time the attack came so quickly, in the Commonwealth, before the generals could discuss the result, it was already coming.
..............................................................................
In the darkness and silence of space, the Leibe-1 space station spreads its pair of wide solar panels, like a space eagle soaring through the universe. It is now in a low-Earth orbit 1,000 kilometers above Earth, and the plasma propulsion series at its tail spews out a blue flame tail, sending it flying at a speed of 7 kilometers per second towards its destination.
Leibu-1 is a small space station completed in March last year, it is much smaller than Tiangong-1, and its volume is less than one-twentieth of Tiangong-1. Because it has relatively few functions and is only responsible for military tasks. To be precise, it was an experimental orbital bombing system.
That's right, orbital bombing systems!
He was not a pacifist, and he developed the sky not only for scientific research, but also for farming, and military use was also a very important factor. He wants to firmly control the earth!
The orbital bombing system is a sub-project of the "Star Wars Project", and Minebu-1 is one of the achievements of these years, strictly speaking, this thing should be called an attack military satellite, or an orbital bomber.
Of course, it's a bit bigger than an in-atmosphere bomber. Its main body is like the Chinese character "mountain", and the vertical columns on both sides are 100 meters long and eight to ten meters in diameter. The middle one is a 120-meter-long column. The diameter of the root and middle part is eight meters, and then it is gradually reduced, and when it reaches the front ten meters, the diameter is only four meters.
Soon, Leibe-1 was already over Singapore, and the 36 position-controlled plasma vents around it were punctuated with blue flame tails, slowing it down, stopping, and synchronizing it with the Earth's rotation, and aiming the middle one, the launcher, at the Singapore Fortress 1,000 kilometers below......
