669 Sky Death God 3
"Is one of our artillery companies finished like this? Is that right?" Xiao Moltke said with a calm face.
"The first long-range artillery company has been sentenced to be destroyed." said a staff officer next to him.
Compared to Xiao Moltke's light description, the brothers of the first long-range artillery company on the front line were moved. The black smoke rising from a distance, the vibration of the earth, and the bomb smashed a crater with a diameter of more than 20 meters. They now have a more direct experience. After all, it was the first air strike, and there was still an airplane throwing the bomb out of the bomb. A fire bomb fell less than 500 meters away from the artillery position. The bomb weighed a little too much. In addition, there was a little wind, and hundreds of kilograms of napalm were splashing, and the wind helped the fire, and a line of fire rushed towards the artillery position!
"Just one special incendiary bomb can cause half of the 75mm artillery company to lose its combat effectiveness. This is definitely a demon's weapon. The flames with napalm are scattered on the ground like raindrops, and a sea of fire will soon form." Afterwards, an officer who experienced the fire-fighting battle and burned half of his hair reported this.
"The effect is good, but it still needs to be improved. The range of napalm bombs that is not too wide when they explode, causing great waste of lethality. In fact, we can completely make the bomb into a barrel shape. Then design a horizontal hanger, press the stabilized bomb wings on both sides, and when throwing it, the bomb will roll like a stone that is drifting, and then spread the internal combustion agent evenly in a large area..." Hack concluded after returning.
At the same time, several other teams quickly found the target. Needless to say, the bomb was successfully thrown into the designated area. In a very short time, the Black Hawks in Bavaria killed a 150mm long-range artillery company, a logistics supply point, and another 210mm heavy howitzer company.
The last squad targeted a mobile Prussian mobile artillery detachment. Accompanied by a battalion of soldiers, two companies of 77mm rapid-fire guns were traction by trucks and along the newly renovated road. At this moment, the German bomber troops arrived.
During this attack, the Bavarian Air Force verified for the first time several ideas of licking the ground and bomb attacks in the face of open terrain... The first point is that when facing a large number of soft targets, the coverage area is larger and the number of small bombs is better used than large bombs. Second, long-term repeated machine gun strafing can instantly collapse the morale of an infantry, even if the bullet cannot hit the opponent.
In order to avoid damage, all the planes attacked a strip-like area parallel to the convoy. The dull air explosion of shrapnel came out from a distance. A second later, the flower of death formed by scattered steel balls and shrapnel exploded over the shrapnel. Looking from the air, the shrapnel seemed to be directly overwhelmed by a pair of huge hands. The shock waves and shrapnel generated by the explosion easily shattered everything they encountered.
The huge pressure brought by the whistling machine guns and the explosion of bombs made the soldiers who witnessed the air strike for the first time at close range at a loss. Some of them ran in the opposite direction, some were looking for cover by instinct, or simply lying on the ground and never getting up. Several vehicles trying to escape fell into mud pits or swamps next to the road in panic. The officers tried to restore order, but they failed to succeed until the crew was withdrawn. The troops were not surprisingly ruled out.
Just as the four bomber teams returned, such a small episode occurred. Several Prussian planes encountered the Black Hawk bomber of a small team that was returning. When the opponent tried to attack from the rear, they found that the Black Hawk bomber that threw away the bomb and used ordinary fuel was even faster than the fighter. Seeing the distance getting bigger and bigger, the Prussian pilot shook his head helplessly.
Richterhofen is an exception. He successfully flew to the front of the German aircraft with excellent predictions and excellent operations, and at the same time, he used his altitude advantage to start a shallow dive attack. "Close, get closer!" The future Red Baron stared at the target carefully. He chose a Black Hawk bomber on the left of the opponent's group as the target, and a simple ring sight gradually locked the opponent. "If it's actual combat, you'll be dead when you reach 200 meters." Richterhofen was ready to pull the camera button next to him as a record of falling off the opponent.
However, just as he approached 800 meters, a series of flames suddenly flew out from the side, forming a fine net of fire. This was the firepower that only more than ten machine guns could fire. The roar of the machine gun and the sound of bullets flying by from the side made the newcomer panic. When a 12.7mm bullet rotated and bit off a large wing, Richterhofen finally realized the situation and began to leave.
"Damn it, I didn't plan to hit him!" Huck was also scared and sweating. He just wanted to scare the young man. He really didn't plan to shoot the opponent down, so he chose to fire at a long distance, but the 12.7mm machine gun has excellent ballistics and a large fire density. In addition, the aircraft speed was too slow in this era and Richterhoven's luck was too bad, so an accident happened. Fortunately, the bomber team stopped quickly. In the end, the famous pilot drove the plane into a mud pit, and he also took the first lesson of air combat - never stand-alone charge with strong self-defense firepower and formation of bombers.
In the end, 35 of the 36 bombers successfully returned to the base. One of the road oil supply equipment had some problems and forced a landing in the field. It was then dismantled by a team of engineers and transported back to the base in pieces. It successfully destroyed two artillery companies, attacked a convoy, and bombed a material reserve warehouse. On the way back, he also took away three Prussian aircraft and two artillery observation balloons. It was a brilliant victory.
After returning to the base, the Black Hawk bomber formation made more than an hour of preparation. After completing the refueling and mounting the bullets, the second group of pilots immediately ran on the plane. According to today's preparation speed, it took about 2 hours to go back and forth, and it was less than 12 o'clock when we set off again. If we are lucky, we can blow it up again before dark today. Three times a day. The prince was very satisfied with the attendance rate.
So, just as Little Moltke was having lunch, the second wave of attack from the Bavarian Air Force finally came, and by chance, one of the wave bombers flew over the head of Little Moltke... Seeing the huge shadows cast on the ground moving quickly, Little Moltke was in a bad mood.
"We are ready to have a meeting, but our original plan is no longer useful!" Xiao Moltke said as he threw the spoon in his hand.
