Text Chapter 99 The power of new bombs

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. However, the firepower points of the Japanese army, which had been firing desperately just now, trying to suppress the opponent's offensive, were all blocked.  It got quiet.

    After the violent shaking of the mountain caused by the explosion passed, Wu Ruofu wondered whether it was the one that was thrown into the vent just now, looking at the camel's hump that was filled with the sound of gunfire just now but now seemed unusually silent, and the surface features that had been artificially modified.  When the grenade fell, it happened to hit the ammunition depot of the Japanese fortress at Camelback. Otherwise, even a ton of explosives would not have had this effect.

    Wu Ruofu's guess was correct. It was indeed a bundle of grenades thrown into the vent that caused the explosion of the ammunition depot of the Japanese fortress at Camelback. This lucky bunch of grenades did not fall directly on anyone after being thrown into the vent.  In the ammunition depot covered by an oblique angle.

    However, 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 ammunition storage. When the grenade fell, the elevator  The elevator that has been prepared for lifting has just been loaded with 150mm grenades to supplement 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 detonated the artillery shell warehouse filled with tens of thousands of various artillery shells and fuses. The exploding artillery shell warehouse detonated the surrounding shells one after another.  Several other ammunition depots, followed by an underground level, contained 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 by the results he had created, woke up, a series of explosions more violent than the explosions he created were heard in the Miaoling area not far away. He had just calmed down.  The mountain shook again because of the violent explosion.

    Seeing that the man-made earthquake he had caused, half of Camelback's Hump was gone and the remaining half was in danger, and it began to tremble violently again. Then look at the strange mushroom that appeared in the sky above Miaoling after the explosion not far away.  After the same flame cloud, Wu Ruofu was afraid that the entire mountain would collapse in the violent trembling. Regardless of being shaken again and staggering, Wu Ruofu immediately gave an order to all the people who were still on the mountainside to descend the mountain as quickly as possible, and even  Not even the bodies of the martyrs were rushed down for transportation.

    Fortunately, this guy reacted quickly and gave the order in time, so he was not injured or killed by the man-made earthquake caused by his own people. Wu Ruofu had just rushed down the mountain with his troops and had not 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 mountain top 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 only 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.  At a loss.

    The violent explosion inside the Luotuofeng mountain may have been caused by the troops throwing cluster grenades into the ventilation holes during the attack, which detonated the ammunition depot inside the mountain. But what caused the violent explosion in the direction of Miaoling was something Wu Ruofu couldn't figure out.  mind.

    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 what exactly is the explosion in the direction of Miaoling??What's the matter? Number 1 just said there are only a few bombs, but how can these a few 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.  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 first batch of air-fuel bombs in the world, there were also  The world's first glide bomb.

    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 an aluminum wing taken from a downed Japanese aircraft, the first-generation unguided glide bomb 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 operational requirements. The bombers first drop an improved ordinary bomb weighing one ton on the Japanese permanent fortifications to penetrate the top of the Japanese concealed part, opening the way for subsequent fuel-air bombs, and then  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, only fifteen and thirty bombs were produced respectively. Therefore, the bombing of the Japanese permanent fortification group in the Miaoling area was  , only two C-46 transport planes carried two super ordinary anti-personnel bombs, and two DO 17 bombers carried four fuel-air bombs.

    Although the number is small, these super-era bombs have exerted 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 Miaoling area to the maximum extent.  The permanent fortification group.

    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. This treatment was compared to those who only enjoyed it.  For the comrades of the 11th Division on the Baoqing battlefield, it must be said that it was an extremely glorious thing to entertain them with air-fueled artillery shells with much less lethality.

    Under conditions that were considered to be 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 they still hit the target accurately.  Miaoling is the mountain where the Japanese fortress is located.

    Although many accessories have been installed to improve accuracy, they are ordinary bombs without guidance after all. One of the two super bombs missed the target and landed on the other side of the mountain. The Japanese troops were only deployed on the other side.  The military warehouse in the hilltop was razed 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 fortification was completely destroyed, and it was this bomb that hit the only one that 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.
