Rumble!

The bomb that fell from the sky accurately hit the roof of the staff building of the North China Front Headquarters,

Then it runs through like a sharp knife through tofu.

After a few seconds of silence,

A violent explosion swept from the bottom of the staff building of the North China Front Headquarters.

The earth shook, the windows shattered, the doors cracked, and the smoke and dust of the flames poured out of the doors and windows, and in an instant, it covered the entire Devil Headquarters.

As well as all the buildings that envelop the surrounding area for hundreds of meters.

Crash!

Before the smoke dissipated, there was a violent collapse sound, and the entire building of the staff officer of the North China Command of the Devil collapsed in an instant, and the violent smoke and dust rolled away again.

Smoke and dust piled up.

Face the ground-penetrating bullets.

Even the first generation of ground-penetrating bombs.

With a weight of three tons, it can only drill through six meters of reinforced concrete, and it is also low-grade civilian cement, and the charge is only 500 kilograms of Octojin explosives.

Performance indicators of the first generation of ground-penetrating bombs.

But it's not something that this old building, built in the twenties, can resist.

As the smoke clears,

The entire staff building of the North China Front Headquarters has collapsed into ruins.

Fragments of the wreckage of the building, in a radial shape, spread out in all directions.

Other buildings in the surrounding headquarters were damaged, the glass was broken, the doors and windows were shattered, and not only the devil guards in the staff building, but also the surrounding devil guards were also killed and injured.

Chief of Staff Watanabe, who was already cool, did not mention it.

In the command and war room next door.

Shaking off the dust on his body, ignoring the safety warnings and reminders of his subordinates, Tada Jun looked at the evacuated Eighth Route Army plane in the sky, his eyes were blank.

Why do bombs turn?

What kind of advanced technology is this?

After being stunned for a while, Tada Jun smiled bitterly.

Who would have thought that a bomb dropped at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters would be able to turn around and automatically drill towards the target?

Who can prevent this?

In the future, will any fortress of the empire be a bubble in the face of such bombs?

And!

"Is it so powerful?"

Looking down at the completely collapsed staff building, a drop of cold sweat slipped down on Tadajun's back.

The six-story headquarters staff building, which was made of reinforced concrete and was stronger than the Songhu Sixing Warehouse, completely collapsed with just one bomb.

This shows that the bomb exploded directly at the foundation.

What a bomb.

After penetrating six layers of reinforced concrete slabs, the power of the explosion can also blow up the entire building?

"Can the Empire really win?"

At this moment, Tada Jun is even more desperate about his future.

He originally thought that he would stay in the Imperial Army Reserve for the rest of his life, and if he was lucky, he would be able to mix up his identity in an idle position, but if he was unlucky, he would be removed from his post and even investigated, and finally ended up infamy.

After all, it is the top of the military, and unless he takes the initiative to make a mistake, there will be no substantial punishment.

But now it seems...

This ending may be because he thinks too much.

Once the empire fails, the cage tactics he pursued as the commander of the North China Front will inevitably be liquidated afterwards.

And when the time comes, I am afraid that the main force to liquidate him will be this Tubalu in North China.

"Hey..."

Tada Jun sighed faintly and looked up at the sky again.

At this time, the Empire's latest Zero fighter was already approaching the enemy's transport aircraft.

···

"The empire is getting better!"

The moment the Zero fighter appeared at the Beiping airfield, Shibata Kiya, an army technician who came from the mainland and a radio expert directly under the Imperial Japanese military, was happy.

As a technician,

Multiple Project Leaders,

Shibata Ken understands the divisions within the empire better than others.

divisions of the Navy and Army,

Not only did it cause huge internal contradictions, but it even greatly weakened the power of the empire.

The two sides are like mortal enemies.

The navy has developed an advanced aircraft, but it is not allowed to be used by the army, and even the technology is not shared, and the army does not use the navy's technology and aircraft, so it has to develop and research one on its own.

Even the accessories don't need the navy's, you have to call yourself a set.

That

The weapons within the locust army, even if they are of the same generation, are rarely common to each other.

It runs counter to the current international mainstream technology route.

But recently, things have taken a turn for the better.

Although the empire has repeatedly failed militarily in the Republic of China and lost a lot of territory in North China, it has miraculously achieved positive gains in terms of interests.

For three years, the empire invested less resources and money in North China than it did in North China.

The empire succeeded in its strategy of fighting for war.

Moreover, the benefits are higher than anyone can imagine.

As far as he knows, September has not yet ended, and with the current trend, the estimated surplus of funds obtained from the Republic of China is as high as $10 million.

Equivalent to 40 million Imperial Coins.

It's a surplus.

Equivalent to a company's net profit.

If we continue to calculate based on the current data, it will be a total of nearly 500 million imperial coins.

And to know!

For the whole of this year, the military budget is no more than 7 billion imperial dollars.

The reason why the profits are so high is not only because of the huge income of silver dollars, but also because of the huge amount of materials pouring out of the Taiyue Mountains, which has revitalized the economy of North China.

And the empire, as the de facto controller of North China, naturally received most of the benefits.

Even because of these supplies, the empire can carry out reckless plundering and grab more profits.

In fact, with the abundance of supplies in North China, according to the estimation of Major General Suzuki Fanji of the Economic Division, it is estimated that by December, the empire will be able to receive more than 20 million US dollars per month.

Next year, it is expected to earn a billion Imperial Coins.

Such huge interests, and foreseeably higher in the future, will naturally attract the covetousness of the Navy.

But North China was the home of the empire.

In order to get a piece of the pie, the navy will naturally regress appropriately, which makes the army obtain the technology of the Zero fighter.

It's just...

Look at the Zero fighter in front of you, who is pursuing the enemy bomber at high speed.

Shibata Ken's heart flashed badly.

The enemy's technology is more advanced than he could have imagined.

To this day, Shibata Ken has difficulty understanding how the enemy did it, jumping fifty times per second.

How do components not be burned by volatile voltages?

What kind of process can make such delicate components, what kind of control system, can be precisely controlled, 50 frequency hops per second?

And to achieve precise binding?

Based on his understanding of radio technology, Shibata probably guessed how the enemy bomb turned and hit the staff building where the chief of staff was located.

Radio-guided bombs.

The perfect bomb he envisioned.

Achieve maximum combat effectiveness at the lowest cost.

Each aerial bomb hit its target with precision, and only in this way could the Empire defeat the United States with an industrial and economic power far inferior to that of the United States.

But limited by insufficient technology, unstable signal, high latency and other factors, he can only bury this idea in his heart.

Now I actually see the finished product here on Tuba Road.

So!

In terms of radio technology, such an advanced earth road, aircraft technology is also very advanced, the imperial fighters, can they catch up?

Shibata looked at the sky tightly.

···

"Yaga!"

Seeing the violent explosion at the headquarters position on the ground, and the smoke of gunpowder rolled up more than 100 meters high, the devil pilots of the three Zero fighters suddenly turned red.

The three devil pilots suddenly pushed the throttle push lever violently,

I was eager to push the push rod into the fuel tank, and got a fully fueled engine, which pulled the plane of the Zero to a sharp speed.

But now the height is three thousand five hundred meters.

At this altitude, even with the maximum throttle output, the Zero can only achieve a speed of 520 kilometers per hour.

It's September '40.

Neither the Allied nor the German series of high-altitude high-speed fighters were in service.

At this time, the speed of 520 kilometers per hour and 3,500 meters per hour was not bad.

However, in the face of the Yun-6, which could fly at an altitude of 3,500 meters and a speed of 570 kilometers per hour, the devil could only watch as the planes of the Eighth Route Army flew farther and farther, and finally disappeared from the field of vision of the locusts army.

Even, because of the long-term squeezing of the engine, the engine with poor reliability was overloaded, causing the engine to malfunction, directly bursting the cylinder, and thick gunpowder smoke came out of the nose, and then the entire plane dived straight to the ground.

What's more interesting is.

The sudden and violent dive caused a large overload, and the devil pilot did not resist and fainted directly.

Although he soon woke up,

But it's too late.

Rumble!

The Devil's latest Zero fighter jet and his pilot crashed to the ground together, turning into a pile of wreckage in the fierce flames.

The other two devil planes also hurriedly reduced their speed to avoid a crash.

···

"Yaga!"

"How is this possible?"

"How is this possible?"

on the ground.

The commander of the Devil Army Aviation Brigade, who was paying attention to this battle all the time, Gana Shun was watching this scene, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and cold sweat fell like raindrops.

There was a hysterical howl in his mouth.

The Empire's newest Zero fighter.

The fastest and most maneuverable fighter.

At an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, it was impossible to catch up with the enemy's twin-engine bombers?

How is this possible?

"Yaga!"

In the end, looking at the enemy bombers flying away, Garner Shunzheng could only slam the telescope in his hand, and then scolded:

'Imperial Tech's bunch of shit!'

"Rubbish!"

The surrounding flight staff officers and other devil pilots also lowered their heads and didn't say a word.

The fighter planes were at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, unable to catch up with the enemy's twin-engine large transport planes, and this technological gap made all the devil pilots, ground crews, and army aviation staff officers rush to despair.

This means that

Unless it's an ambush.

Otherwise, as long as the enemy finds the Imperial fighters, they can easily escape, and the Imperial fighters have no way.

"The Imperial Zero fighter engine has a thousand horsepower."

"How powerful are their engines?"

A devil staff officer asked incredulously.

No one answered him.

The huge technological gap makes all the devils desperate.

"The Empire needs new planes!"

After a long time, Garner spat out a sentence that saved some morale a little:

"I'll report back to the mainland." (End of chapter)
