Chapter Seventy-Seven Delivery of 30 Long-Range Bombers

Time passed quickly, and the various projects of the arsenal were progressing smoothly, especially the long-range bomber project, which was now in full production thanks to orders from the Air Force and the Allies.

At the beginning of April, 30 long-range bombers will be delivered, of which 20 will be for the Air Force and 10 for the Allies, so this delivery ceremony will also be very grand, and many reporters will come to the First Aircraft Factory of the Eighth Route Army to report and publicize it.

Today's aircraft factory, that is colorful flags fluttering, gongs and drums noisy, so lively, those guests, as soon as they came to the delivery ceremony, were shocked by the neatly arranged thirty long-range bombers, after all, this is thirty, and they are all big guys.

There are also dozens of Fury fighters parked on the side, which are also very attractive, they are also the goods of the Allies, and this time the Allies are happy to bring dozens of advanced combat aircraft.

Therefore, there were many pilots who came to the delivery ceremony this time, and many of them were foreigners, which made the employees of the arsenal very curious.

The special planes of the Allied forces and the Air Force came, and the leaders of the Eighth Route Army and Duan Qupeng greeted them, and the two sides met quite affectionately, as if they were a family, and the reporters took pictures of this rare picture on the side.

You must know that the current Allied forces are fighting very hard, and they are very much in need of advanced aviation weapons such as Fury fighters and long-range bombers.

Next, the delivery ceremony began in a warm atmosphere, the Allied and Air Force, these new aircraft, after careful acceptance, confirmed that there were no problems, then signed the handover letter, and then naturally had to pay the final payment.

This time, the Eighth Route Army had a bumper harvest, with 30 long-range bombers alone selling for more than $10 million, and 30 Fury fighters, which amounted to more than $1 million.

This is a huge amount of money for the Eighth Route Army, and when it was originally adapted, it was only more than one million oceans, which is equivalent to one million dollars.

It's a good idea to make a lot of money now, of course, thanks to Duan Yunpeng, otherwise how could such a good thing come about.

This time to get so many advanced long-range bombers and fighters, the Allies and the Air Force have also planned a long time ago, preparing to bomb a military port of the devil, where there are many warships, this time dispatched 30 long-range bombers, and 20 Fury fighters, just to test their skills.

Of course, in order to show this, the Eighth Route Army also negotiated and sent ten long-range bombers of the aviation team to act together.

Well, in the early morning of the next day, when Dongfang was just white, the airport was busy.

The ground crews had already refueled all the planes and hung up bombs, a total of forty long-range bombers, each of which had six tons of bombs, and this time it was not full, so as not to affect the range.

Duan Yunpeng and Zhang Xia, together with two flight students, piloted a long-range bomber, and Li Yunlong was no exception, personally becoming the captain and piloting the long-range bomber to prepare for the dispatch.

One after another, combat planes rose from the runway, and soon there was a group of black and pressed big black planes in the sky, and the group composed of 60 combat planes was still very large, who would have thought that the Eighth Route Army would have such strength and be able to build so many advanced fighters and bombers.

All the pilots were very excited, including the Allied pilots, they were all old birds, but the long-range bombers they flew this time were indeed too advanced, better than what they had piloted before, and they also thought that this operation could create a miracle and blow up more Japanese military port facilities and even warships in the harbor.

You must know that the success rate of using high-altitude bombers to bomb warships is not high, because the bombs dropped by bombers have too large deviations, but as long as they are dense enough, there are always a few bombs that can hit the target, so so many bombers should be able to successfully sink a few warships.

With such a large fleet, what does it feel like to fly overhead?

Soon the fleet climbed to an altitude of 9,000 meters and flew towards the target area, this time the range was up to 700 kilometers, and it was 1,400 kilometers back and forth, so the Fury fighters were hung with auxiliary fuel tanks, so that their range could reach 2,500 kilometers, and there was enough fuel to escort them, and if there were devil fighters to intercept them, they would destroy them.

An hour and a half later, the devil's military port had already appeared in sight, this military port was very large, and from a distance, there were more than a dozen warships parked in the port.

At this time, the Japanese army also discovered the incoming aircraft group, and the anti-aircraft artillery fire was in full swing.

It's just that now the bomber group is flying at an altitude of 7,000 meters, and these anti-aircraft guns can't hit it at all.

Soon a black bomb fell down, and the Japanese military port suddenly exploded in all directions, and the flames soared into the sky, from the facilities of the military port to the warships moored.

On a destroyer, the devil's gunners ran to their battle positions, picked up anti-aircraft guns and machine guns, and began to fire at the air, but it was all in vain.

Yamamoto was a gunner, and he had just run to his gun's side when he suddenly saw a black bomb fall on his head, which frightened him and jumped into the sea.

Rumble! The huge explosion turned his naval guns into splinters and scattered in all directions, and the warship ignited a fire that looked difficult to extinguish.

Although there are a lot of devils who are struggling to put out the fire, the fire is too big, and another bomb fell from behind, and suddenly the loss of the management soldiers broke a lot.

In the sky, Duan Yunpeng watched the devil's military port turn into a sea of fire, and he was so happy in his heart, it would be cool if he blew it up once a day.

It's just that this is obviously impossible, because the demand for ammunition is too great, and the aircraft cannot withstand such a toss.

This time, 40 long-range bombers dropped a total of more than 200 tons of bombs, almost destroying this military port, and also damaging five or six warships by the way.

Now the fleet of planes that have completed the bombing mission is beginning to return home.

Those Allied pilots were really excited, such a good bomber must be equipped with more, the effect of this bombing is too good.

Just as the group of planes returned and left the military port less than ten minutes later, they encountered a group of fighters sent by the devil to intercept them.

Duan Yunpeng really looked at it, and it was estimated that there were a hundred fighters.

This time it's going to be a big battle, and now there are only twenty escorted Fury fighters on the side of the Eighth Route Army and the Allies, but the bombers also have strong self-defense capabilities, so the next battle is really hard to say.
