    The night sky is clear, with few stars falling. The pale white crescent moon hangs high in the blue sky in the west. It is almost dawn.  The cool and soothing morning breeze blows through the trees of Cuba, bringing a refreshing and refreshing experience.  U.S. Army Colonel Henry stretched his waist and walked out of his residence with a yawn on his face. The bright light that came in front of him made his pupils shrink slightly.  After a while, Colonel Henry's eyes adapted to the light from the darkness.  As he glanced around, hundreds of ground crews, with the help of lights, began to carry out fueling and bomb loading operations for each aircraft at the airport before sorties; a large number of bomb-carrying carts were coming and going, and various noisy  The sound filled the entire night sky before dawn.  "Those idiots in the Air Force are always attacking tirelessly, but they don't care about the heavy work that our ground soldiers have to bear!" Colonel Henry couldn't help but spat in anger as he looked at the large number of four-engine heavy bombers parked on the runway.  Said with a spit.  Since a month ago, the San Diego Air Force Base that he is responsible for has begun to receive a large number of aviation units transferred from Miami, Havana and other places, resulting in a sharp increase in the number of fighter aircraft; to this day, the main airport where he is located  There are more than 400 fighter planes of various types stationed there, and the total number of fighter planes at the surrounding airports is close to 2,000. This undoubtedly greatly increases the work tasks of the ground staff.  Faced with the more than doubling of the total number of aircraft, the number of personnel in Colonel Henry's hands has not been increased by a corresponding proportion, which undoubtedly makes the daily work of his department suddenly become onerous.  Currently, not only are the soldiers divided into two shifts, but Colonel Henry's own rest time is also forced to be greatly reduced: although the tens of thousands of personnel under his command are not front-line soldiers.  But there are more trivial matters in this second-line position.  The breeze is blowing.  Chilling to the bone.  After Henry stood outside the hut and breathed in the morning air, the tiredness in his mind was almost gone.  He moved his slightly stiff body, turned around and walked to the office next to him: After a night of accumulation, his desk is probably filled with various documents again, right?  "Sir, the air radar has detected an abnormality. You'd better take a look for yourself!" Colonel Henry had just taken a few steps when a handsome lieutenant officer suddenly ran out of the door of the radar room and shouted to him.  "We have discovered more than two hundred targets 70 miles away in the east, flying quickly towards us. The flight altitude of these unknown objects exceeds 250,000 feet, and their speed is initially estimated to be over 4,000 miles per hour!" "  Fuck you!" Henry, who was already unhappy, became furious when he heard this, and immediately roared, "Chris, you inoculated your little Mary more than ten times a day during your vacation, and now you are mentally exhausted.  Is it completely broken? Tell me what can fly to an altitude of 250,000 feet and reach a speed of more than 4,000 miles per hour? I think it is a group of German high-speed bombers flying at an altitude of 250,000 feet and a speed of 400 miles per hour!  You no longer need to work as the radar commander, immediately pack up and disappear from the base. Sam will take over as the new radar station commander. The base will immediately sound the air defense alarm and implement the C response plan!  Reese's young officer looked anxious.  He shouted desperately: "Sir, all members of the radar station will never make 10 times the reading and calculation errors at the same time!" Henry was stunned when he heard this, and there was a faint feeling of ominousness in his heart. He immediately turned towards the radar room in front of him.  He ran quickly and arrived in front of the flickering screen in less than half a minute.  The machine hummed slightly and the light screen dimmed. Henry, who was standing in front of the screen, took a breath and couldn't help but rub his eyes with his hands.  Because he was shocked to see that the dense light spots moved forward to a terrifying extent after being scanned by the radar for a week; and at present, these objects are only more than 50 miles away from the own base on a horizontal road!  "This is a group of meteorites falling from space?" Henry's mind was filled with confusion, and after a while he spoke as if he was dreaming.  This kind of speed and flying height can only be achieved by meteorites that hit the ground.  However, how to explain the huge number of more than 200 pellets and the neat trajectory running directly towards us?  The natural probability of this phenomenon occurring is simply zero!  As for the probability of radar malfunction, it is also very slim. If a false alarm is possible on one radar, then the same display on two radars can only mean that the target area must be moving as shown on the screen.  object.  In order to avoid the failure of air defense warning due to radar failure, the current radar station obviously has more than one piece of equipment in alert operation. As far as Henry could see, the displays on the screen next to him were also the same!  Henry took a deep breath and immediately issued the order to sound the air defense alarm.  Although I still don¡¯t know whether the Germans will summon meteorites to fall from the sky like wizards, it¡¯s never wrong to be prepared in advance!  The piercing siren immediately sounded in the pre-dawn night sky, and the entire aviation base instantlyThe moment seemed to be boiling: the ground crew hurriedly stopped refueling and loading the bomber, and pushed it into the camouflage shelters on both sides of the runway. The small and light fighter was sent to the runway, and the propeller on the front of the nose quickly moved as the pilot jumped.  It whined and spun.  In less than two minutes, the first P-47 took off under the guidance of the searchlight and flew towards the dimly lit sky; the ground anti-aircraft artillery troops were also in place, with their muzzles raised high, ready to hit the invading enemy at any time.  .  In response to the German Air Force's bombing of San Diego airports, the U.S. Air Force was undoubtedly fully prepared to intercept.  However, this time, the situation was completely different from any previous air raid by the Luftwaffe.  Less than a few U.S. fighter jets had taken off from the runway, the U.S. officers and soldiers on the ground heard an unprecedented piercing scream; a moment later, there was an earth-shaking huge explosion.  Group after group of wild red lights, like hibiscus at sunrise, exploded on the ground one after another, illuminating the entire night sky with a brilliant golden red!  Although a considerable number of missiles deviated several kilometers away due to errors, more than half of the missiles still successfully landed within the scope of the airport; and the V3 missile has a warhead equipped with 12 tons of explosive power, and its explosion power after landing is only  It can be described as shocking.  The cascades of fire exploded violently, roaring towards the surroundings with an unstoppable force; wherever the light wave touched, the cement boulders were all like crushed paper, turning into thousands of carbon particles and shooting into the sky.  The warheads carried by some V3 missiles are napalm bombs. Although these things do not have the shocking momentum of a large number of explosions, the actual damage they cause is even worse in many fields.  They burn violently and release thousands of degrees of high temperature. It is difficult to extinguish them using conventional water hoses that reduce the fire point temperature. As long as the weight is enough, they can even melt steel into a pool of molten iron!  Because the missile flies so fast, the time left for US military ground crews to respond and clear the site is less than one-tenth of normal conditions. A large number of special hoses that transport fuel to bombers are still winding like countless long snakes.  were lying on the ground, and ammunition transport trucks loaded with tons of bombs were scattered around the airport's runway.  When these divine punishments fell from the sky, the originally peaceful airport area suddenly turned into a Shura hell engulfed in a boundless sea of ??fire.  After the explosion, the roaring fire waves and the flying colloidal gasoline ignited the oil pipelines and high-explosive bombs all around the runway. The raging flames instantly started a prairie fire like falling on a dry grassland.  The nearby bombers that had not been pushed far were also swallowed up.  The bomber that had already been loaded with bombs was directly transformed into fragments in the sky by the explosion of the bomb inside. The aircraft that had not yet been loaded with bombs also turned into a phoenix under the influence of the flames, and finally became a pile of charred corpses in the rising flames.  skeleton.  Red light spewed out, fire burned the sky, and in the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred fighter planes were swept into it; thunderous thunder and earthquakes as ammunition continued to explode, rumbling like heavy hammers and drums, hitting the hearts of the American officers and soldiers, making them feel  Frightened and frightened.  Faced with this sudden and devastating blow, a large number of U.S. soldiers were completely confused. Not knowing what was going on, they cursed the incompetence of the radar unit and fled in panic away from the fire scene.  The beam of light formed by the searchlight searched back and forth in the sky over and over again, but there was no trace of any expected enemy aircraft.  Finally, a golden beam of light locked the trace of an aircraft. Hundreds of anti-aircraft guns that poured out their fury from nowhere immediately smashed it into pieces with continuous intensive firepower, which attracted cheers from the US gunners; however, when they  When the wreckage was inspected, it was discovered that it was a domestic P-47 fighter jet.  It turned out that after hearing the air defense siren, the pilot had a strong sense of responsibility and resolutely chose to attack at the first opportunity. However, what he never expected was that he died without seeing an incoming enemy plane.  In the hands of their own anti-aircraft fire.  There is no more tragic and ironic situation in life than this!  Looking at the roaring flames near the airport runway, Colonel Henry stood in the radar room dumbfounded; but the young lieutenant radar chief next to him was the first to come to his senses and loudly urged him to issue orders for fire extinguishing and rescue equipment.  Colonel Henry, who finally regained his normal mind, began to broadcast his instructions over and over again using the still intact public address system, and order at the airport was gradually restored.  However, his heart felt cold. This aviation base, which gathered a large number of fighter planes, had now suffered a catastrophic blow that was ten times more severe than the previous Luftwaffe bombing.  (To be continued) PS: Thanks to book friends Pigeon, matilllda for their monthly ticket support, and Golden Crab, zhouyu1976 for their rewards~~~
