Chapter 241: Heavy bombing by bombers, burning down the camp
Over the coalition camp, a group of bombers dropped bombs at an altitude of more than 6000 meters.
As the door of the ammunition depot opened, bombs fell like raindrops, dropping straight towards the camp below with sharp whistling sounds.
In an instant, the earth was engulfed in the flames of countless explosions.
Mixed in with the rain of bombs were napalm and white phosphorus incendiary bombs.
In terms of cruelty, these two bombs are not much different.
When the napalm bomb approaches the ground, an air explosion occurs, and balls of gelatinous napalm fly around like flowers scattered by fairies under the impact of the explosion.
Then a burst of explosion spread out from the center of the explosion.
The people who were enveloped were almost instantly engulfed by high-temperature flames of thousands of degrees Celsius and were directly carbonized in the explosion. They could only feel brief pain during this process.
This way of dying is actually very gentle.
Some scattered colloidal gasoline splashed onto people and burned. This process was the most cruel and painful.
John Soldier Baldwin is experiencing this very moment.
Just now he was running away at full speed.
Every time he looked up at the fleet of planes that covered the sky like dark clouds, fear began to surge in his heart.
When he saw a group of people running wildly in front of him, his instinct drove him to run towards the crowd, as if he would feel safer this way.
Then he saw a black dot land in front of the crowd.
A dazzling and scorching fireball rose from the front of the crowd and swept through them at lightning speed.
At this time, he also felt a rolling heat wave sweeping towards him.
In a moment, blisters appeared on his exposed skin, and after a while, the burning pain spread throughout his body.
He couldn't help but let out a painful howl like a wild beast.
Then two pieces of burning gelatinous objects fell on his thighs, and he felt a continuous and severe pain in his thighs.
He endured the pain and frantically slapped the fireball that fell on his thigh with his right hand.
However, when his palm made contact, the napalm-covered palm also began to burn.
And while he was slapping, some scattered napalm fell on the other leg.
Soon, a fierce flame ignited all over the man's body.
"Ah ah ah ah..."
He rolled on the ground in pain.
However, the more he rolled, the more napalm stuck to his body, and the larger the burning area became.
When the pain he felt exceeded the threshold, he lost consciousness forever.
He was burned to death.
John Baldwin was just one of thousands now in the Union camp.
This is also one of the most painful ways to die.
Many people even watched their previously lively comrades turn into fire and die in agony before their eyes.
Fear was infinitely magnified in their hearts.
However, no matter how they fled, they could not escape the range of the bombing.
The fastest runner in the camp is the white elephant.
Their reaction speed and running speed are much faster than John's people.
Each of them looks like their parents have lost two legs.
But they just ran, everyone was running.
The most abstract thing is that they are running around like headless flies. What's worse is that now some white elephants have run into the Fuso camp, directly disrupting the Fuso camp again.
Then the two brothers, White Elephant and Fuso, were burned together in the napalm bombs and white phosphorus bombs dropped by the bomber group.
White phosphorus bombs and napalm bombs have similar effects.
However, its lethality is still weaker than that of napalm bombs.
As the bomber groups continued to bomb deeper, the explosions swept across the coalition camp, which stretched for dozens of kilometers, in just over ten minutes.
Flames shot up into the sky, thick smoke billowed into the sky, and the explosion site was all ruins and a sea of fire.
Their camp was like a fragile building block that was easily overturned, torn apart, destroyed, and then burned to ashes.
However, the bombs dropped by the bombers seemed endless, just like the bombers themselves.
Although the B-45 and B-66 are both tactical bombers, in terms of bomb load, these two bombers are already considered heavy bombers for the West.
The B-66 with the smallest bomb load has a payload of 4.8 tons, and the B-45 is even more exaggerated, with a maximum bomb load of nearly 10 tons.
On average, each fighter jet has a bomb load of 7 tons, and the total bomb load of these more than 1000 tactical bombers is as high as more than 7800 tons.
The B-17, also a heavy bomber, has a bomb load of only 8 tons and a maximum take-off weight similar to that of the B-66.
Thousands of B-17 bombers bombed hundreds of square kilometers.
An average of 65 tons of bombs fell per square kilometer.
And they are not ordinary high-explosive bombs, but also special bombs such as napalm bombs and white phosphorus bombs that can cause large-scale casualties to personnel.
From these figures, you can intuitively feel how dense the bombing was.
The bombing came in waves, as if to wipe out all 300,000 people in the camp from the land.
The entire barracks was like hell on earth, with pungent and highly toxic smoke filling the entire camp.
The smoke emitted by napalm and white phosphorus bombs when they burn is highly toxic.
The soldiers ran around in fear. When they inhaled the poisonous smoke into their lungs, they fainted in pain, and some died without knowing it.
When the bomber groups began to leave, another large group of planes appeared above the camp.
Hundreds of Tu-16 medium bombers flew at an altitude of 8000 meters.
Before the remaining soldiers in the camp could catch their breath, bombs fell again like flowers scattered from the sky.
The doomsday scene once again befell them.
After the Tu-16 medium bomber left the scene, the heavyweight B-52 strategic bomber finally entered the scene.
More than 300 B-52 bombers flew in a safe airspace of 300 meters at a speed of about 9000 kilometers per hour.
When their magazines were opened, bombs fell continuously like messengers of death, creating huge craters in the camp.
Dirt, gravel and blood from limbs splattered into the air.
The raging fire spread rapidly throughout the camp again.
The largest Fuso camp received special attention from these B-52 strategic bombers, and most of the bombers dropped bombs on the Fuso camp.
The Fuso camp was also ravaged three times by the bombing. The entire camp was littered with corpses, like purgatory.
General Charles of the Allied Forces and General Miyamoto Yoshiaki of the Fuso Army both managed to escape death.
When the bombing was about to begin, the two of them, escorted by guards, grabbed a military vehicle and rushed out of the camp.
Under the muzzles of the guards' submachine guns, they fought their way out of the camp.
Then the two men turned around and looked at the camp engulfed in flames, their eyes gradually becoming numb.
At this moment they could do nothing but watch their own soldiers being swallowed by the explosion.
At this moment, Army General Charles also deeply felt the power of the Renaissance Army Air Force.
Why are the Fuso people and the Southern Alliance so afraid of the bombing of the Restoration Army Air Force?
The bombing lasted for a full three hours.
The bombing did not stop until the three connected echelons of bomber groups had left.
"Evacuate the surviving soldiers and wounded in the barracks as quickly as possible, and leave the bodies alone for now.
Let them retreat to the urban area of Yangcheng as quickly as possible."
In order to prevent the Restoration Army from bombing again, Army General Charles gave a decisive order.
Only by retreating to Guangzhou can they avoid the bombing of the Fuxing Army.
Because the Renaissance Army would never be so cruel as to bomb its own city.
However, at this time a new piece of bad news came.
A large number of landing ships of the Restoration Army appeared in the Jianggang waters.
Hundreds of landing ships are heading towards the outside of Yangcheng.
After completing the landing operation, the navy completed the replenishment at the port of Shanghu.
Then he took the landing ship all the way south and arrived at Jianggang, where he waited.
After the Renaissance Army Air Force determined the time of action, the landing ships set off in the early morning.
The Air Force's bombing of coalition camps was not just for the sake of bombing.
Covering the navy's landing operations is also one of the goals of the air force.
At this moment, the coalition camp had just been bombed, and hundreds of thousands of troops were almost burned to the ground.
Even if the soldiers in the camp could survive, they would have lost their combat effectiveness.
And at this time, Army General Charles had already backed down.
Because this war can no longer be fought.
They had just emerged when they were bombarded so fiercely by the Restoration Army.
The troops they dispatched this time were not enough to withstand the bombing of the Fuxing Army.
Another crucial point is that they can no longer stop the Fuxing Army from landing in Yangcheng Bay.
It was said that there were 30 coalition troops in the rear, which was very safe, so the main forces of the Southern Alliance Army were all transferred to the front line to resist the attack of the Renaissance Army first, and they would arrive later.
So now the entire Yangcheng is wide open, directly open to the landing forces of the Fuxing Army Navy.
Even though they were bombed so badly, the Fusion Army began to land again.
How is this played?
Even if Napoleon were resurrected, this war could no longer be fought.
So Army General Charles didn't even take a clear count of the personnel and just fled towards Jianggang with his men.
When he ran away, he gave the position of commander of the coalition forces to Fuso Army General Miyamoto Yoshiaki, which made Miyamoto Yoshiaki look a bit stupid.
What should I do next?
Miyamoto Kyoaki doesn't know either.
Because of this bombing, their Fuso camp received special attention.
The troops were disorganized, and it would take time just to gather these chaotic soldiers. Add to that the reorganization, and it would take several days to complete.
And now the landing fleet of the Restoration Army has arrived at Jianggang. How can he fight?
Wu Zhichang was also confused.
He placed all his hopes on the coalition forces.
Then the coalition forces were just about to set off from Guangzhou to the front line when they suffered such a large-scale bombing.
This explosion directly shattered all of Wu Zhichang's hopes.
He knew that the Southern Alliance was completely finished, and his hope of seizing control of the two ridges was gone.
