Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Unprepared, Wu Ruofu and the attacking troops were shaken to and fro, and a few soldiers who reacted a little slower were even knocked directly down the mountain.  [.Com text] However, the various firepower points of the Japanese army that had been firing desperately just now, trying to suppress the opponent's offensive, all fell silent.

    After the violent shaking of the mountain caused by the explosion passed, we looked at the Camelback, which was filled with the sound of gunfire just now, but now seemed unusually silent, and the surface features that had been artificially modified.  Wu Ruofu wondered if the grenade thrown into the vent just hit the ammunition depot of the Japanese fortress at Camelback.  Otherwise, even a ton of explosives will not be able to achieve this effect.

    Wu Ruofu¡¯s guess was correct. It was indeed a bundle of grenades thrown into the ventilation hole that caused the explosion of the ammunition depot of the Japanese fortress at Camelback.  Although this lucky bunch of cluster grenades was thrown into the ventilation hole, it did not fall directly into the ammunition depot with oblique cover.

    But it hit an elevator transporting ammunition to the heavy artillery bunker on the top of the mountain.  For the convenience of transportation, the elevator was located just outside the door of the Japanese army's heavy artillery and ammunition storage warehouse.  When the grenades fell, the elevator, which was ready for lifting, had just been filled with 150mm grenades for the heavy artillery group on the top of the mountain.

    At this time, there was an ammunition depot that stored a large number of artillery shells of various calibers right next to the elevator. The iron gate built to effectively protect and prevent chain reactions caused by the explosion of other ammunition depots was also due to the tense war.  Too often without closing.

    This bunch of grenades detonated the heavy artillery shells that had been installed with fuses on the elevator. These detonated heavy artillery shells in turn detonated the artillery shell warehouse filled with tens of thousands of various artillery shells and fuses.  The exploding artillery shell warehouse detonated several other surrounding ammunition depots one after another.  Next there is the underground level, which contains gasoline reserves for rail cars used to transport ammunition and personnel within the fortifications.

    Because it was in a relatively closed space, tens of thousands of tons of ammunition of various calibers exploded almost simultaneously, plus the lethality and shock waves generated by hundreds of tons of gasoline explosions, causing damage to the interior of the Japanese fortress at Camelback  , almost equivalent to detonating a small atomic bomb inside a camel's hump.

    In this period of violent explosions, not only the Japanese army in Camelback Fortress was almost wiped out in this period of explosion, but even the heavy artillery bunker on the top of the mountain, which was poured with concrete with a thickness of four to five meters, was also destroyed in the shock wave caused by the explosion.  Total destruction.

    Before Wu Ruofu, who was as stunned as his subordinates at the result of his own creation, came to his senses, a series of explosions more violent than the explosions he had created were heard in the Miaoling area not far away.  The mountain that had just calmed down began to shake again because of the violent explosion.

    Seeing that half of the camel's hump had been destroyed by the man-made earthquake caused by himself, and the remaining half was in danger, it began to tremble violently again.  Looking at the strange, mushroom-like flame cloud that appeared over Miaoling after the explosion not far away, Wu Ruofu was afraid that the entire mountain would collapse in the violent tremors. Wu Ruofu ignored the fact that he was staggering again and immediately issued an order.  All personnel still on the mountainside were ordered to descend the mountain as quickly as possible.  Even the remains of the martyrs were not taken care of to be transported.

    Fortunately, this guy's reaction speed was fast, and the order was given in time, so he was not injured or killed by the artificial earthquake caused by his own people.  Just as Wu Ruofu and his troops had just rushed down the mountain, they had not yet had time to find a hidden position.  The remaining half of the already crumbling Camelback could no longer withstand the violent shaking caused by the earth, and half of the mountaintop collapsed.

    When the earth stopped shaking again, the Camel's Peak, which was originally more than 500 meters above sea level and had a wide mountain body, was still stubbornly standing on the Xingkai Lake plain. However, it could no longer see its original beautiful appearance and became a full-faced one.  Cang Yi's appearance.

    At this moment, what was displayed in front of Wu Ruofu and his men was a huge pile of rubble that was less than 350 meters high and less than half the width of the original.  Looking at the completely destroyed Camelback, Wu Ruofu was stunned and at a loss.

    The violent explosion inside the Camelback Mountain may be caused by cluster grenades thrown into the ventilation holes by the troops during the attack, which detonated the ammunition depot inside the mountain.  But what caused the violent explosion in the direction of Miaoling made Wu Ruofu somewhat confused.

    Wu Ruofu was not the only one who was shocked by the more violent explosions in the direction of Miaoling. He was commanding the battle on the 458th Highland and was staggered by two violent explosions in succession. Du Kaishan and Qin Zesheng, who almost didn't fall, were also shocked by the temple.  The huge movement in the direction of the ridge shocked me.

    If the violent explosion at Camelback can be explained by the detonation of the ammunition depot by Wu Ruofu's good luck, then in the direction of Miaoling??What is the explosion all about?  Didn't No. 1 just say there were only a few bombs?  But how could just these aerial bombs be so powerful?

    Looking at the stunned expressions of the two people, Yang Zhen smiled, but did not tell them what kind of bombs were transported on the planes that had just flown over their heads not long ago, and why there were such huge bombs.  Lethality and destruction?  For Yang Zhen, the fewer people who know about this new weapon, the better.

    In fact, among the bombs dropped by those planes, there was not just one new type of bomb as Yang Zhen said.  To be precise, there should be two types.  In addition to the world's first air-fuel bombs, there were also the world's first glide bombs.

    Because although due to the load of the aircraft, the bomb tonnage carried by two of the bombers temporarily modified from C-46 transport aircraft was not comparable to the super bombs such as Goblet and Grand Slam in later generations.

    But as the world¡¯s first rocket engine equipped with a one-two-two rocket launcher, and aluminum wings taken from a downed Japanese aircraft.  The first-generation unguided glide bomb, which weighs a full ton, should also be regarded as a new type of bomb.

    In order to destroy the large number of permanent fortification groups and fortress groups built by the Japanese army in Eastern Manchuria, Yang Zhen had already ordered the arsenal to develop the air-fuel artillery shells based on the imported Soviet-made bomb production lines and the information provided by him as early as after the trial production of air-fuel artillery shells was completed.  And the production of so-called super bombs, which are ordinary bombs weighing about one ton and air-fuel bombs weighing about 700 kilograms.

    And in order to increase the penetration, bombing distance and accuracy of these bombs, although the problem of radio guidance of these bombs has been unable to be solved, Yang Zhen specially installed two 122 rocket launcher engines on the bombs.

    These bombs, which have an odd appearance and seem a bit top-heavy, and have amazing armor-piercing capabilities based on their own weight, have been equipped with a one-two-two rocket launcher engine, and their penetration into permanent fortifications has reached the level of that of the US military in the 1950s.  standard.  There is no difficulty at all in dealing with the permanent fortifications in the fortresses built by the Japanese army.

    These two types of bombs must be used in conjunction with each other according to combat requirements.  The bombers first dropped an improved ordinary bomb weighing one ton on the Japanese permanent fortifications, penetrating the top of the Japanese concealed part, opening the way for subsequent fuel-air bombs.  Ordinary bombers would then drop fuel-air bombs to achieve maximum lethality against the Japanese permanent fortification groups and the Japanese troops inside.

    "Only due to the complex craftsmanship of these bombs, coupled with the shortage of raw materials, and due to the size of the bomb load and the number of aircraft.  A total of only fifteen and thirty pieces respectively were produced.  Therefore, for the bombing of the Japanese permanent preparation fortification group in the Miaoling area, only two C-46 transport aircraft carried two super ordinary anti-personnel bombs.  In addition, two DO-17 bombers carried four fuel-air bombs.

    Although the number is small, these super-era bombs exert huge destructive power.  After adding projectile wings and booster rocket engines, these heavy bombs have actually become semi-earth-penetrating bombs.

    ¡°The additional delay fuse used in the torpedo purchased from Jiangbei and the more than 300 kilograms of explosive charge in the bomb actually mean that as long as it hits, there is almost no need to use a fuel-air bomb to fill the leak.

    However, in order to deal with the destruction of most of the semi-permanent fortification groups and the damage to the personnel inside the fortress, Yang Zhen decided to use super bombs and fuel-air bombs in conjunction with each other.  To completely destroy the Japanese army's permanent fortification group in the Miaoling area to the greatest extent possible.

    The internal garrison of the Japanese fortress in the Miaoling area not only had the honor of being the first people in the world to enjoy the hospitality of gliding bombs, but also had the honor of being the first experimenters of fuel-air bombs.  Compared to their comrades in the 11th Division on the Baoqing battlefield who only enjoyed air-fueled artillery shells with much less lethality, this treatment could not but be said to be an extremely honorable thing.

    Under conditions that were considered good, even though they had only undergone a simple tactical drill, two C-46 transport planes dropped one of the two super bombs named after Wanda Mountain, and it still hit the target accurately.  Miaoling is the mountain where the Japanese fortress is located.

    Although it has been equipped with many accessories that improve accuracy, it is still an ordinary bomb without guidance.  One of the two super bombs missed and landed on the other side of the hill, only leveling the Japanese military warehouse deployed on the other hill to the ground.

    But the other one was prepared to hit a permanent fortification on the mountainside, and relied on its own penetration power and the two rocket boosters on the missile body to penetrate the entire mountain that had been hollowed out by the Japanese army.  The bottom layer of the mountain fortifications was completely destroyed.  It was this only bomb that hit, which played a decisive role in the subsequent tactical development.Although the huge destructive power of this bomb, which almost penetrated the entire mountain fortifications of the Japanese army, failed to completely destroy the Miaoling fortifications, it blew up all its underlying fortifications and opened a large hole where it penetrated.  skylight.

    Although only two of the four subsequent fuel-air bombs equipped with drag parachutes were thrown into this skylight, it was the huge power generated by these two air-fuel bombs after the detonation bombs dropped by the subsequent detonation that gave the Japanese army Miaoling Fortress.  poses the deadliest threat.
