Rise from the sword

Chapter 593
"It should be here!"

"We are now ten kilometers away from Balikpapan!"

Above the clouds, at an altitude of 7000 meters, in the navigation cabin of a giant ten-shot bomber.

Through the data given by the inertial navigator, Tang Ge calculated the data to obtain the current course and speed, and then marked the route and speed on the map, and finally determined the coordinates of the aircraft at this time.

It is still ten kilometers away from Balikpapan.

"I need to observe the reference to finalize."

Afterwards, Tang Ge continued to shout:
"There should be a river down here."

As he spoke, he took out a map and a stack of aerial photos.

The map is a large-scale map, on which the mountains and rivers around Balikpapan are marked in detail. Although it is a black and white line map, it is so detailed that you can even see the overall shape of the mountains and rivers.

That stack of aerial photos is also an aerial map of Balikpapan at an altitude of 5000 meters.

This is the item used to finalize the location.

"Descent altitude."

Airport Liu Ming shouted in the channel:

"Descent below the clouds."

The pilot pressed down immediately, and the plane finally pierced through the clouds. Looking around through the observer, Tang Ge first saw the iconic mountain 21 kilometers away on the left, and the curved river beside the mountain.

Exactly as shown on the map and photos.

"OK, we are now above Balikpapan, and the heading is offset by 21 kilometers to the right."

Tang Ge shouted excitedly in the channel.

"This thing is so fucking advanced!"

After the report, Tang Ge muttered habitually.

As one of the dozen or so overseas Chinese pilots who returned with Huang Quan, Tang Ge is also a veteran aviation fan. After graduating from French university, he once worked in a foreign airline.

Because he is an overseas Chinese, even if he has excellent flying skills, he will not be able to get the opportunity to fly a commercial aircraft. It is impossible for foreign airlines to let a yellow-skinned person fly the plane, which will cause complaints from passengers and even refund the ticket.

No way, he can only become a navigator.

It is precisely because of his experience in navigating airliners many times that Tang Ge has a deep understanding of how advanced the inertial navigator in front of him is.

Inertial navigators are nothing new.

To put it bluntly, this thing is a gyroscope and an accelerometer. It stabilizes itself through high-speed rotation. During the flight of the aircraft, the gyroscope will continue to give the current heading angle and speed of the aircraft. Draw the route of the aircraft to calculate the current position of the aircraft.

It has been around for decades.

But Tang Ge learned from chatting with military pilot friends that even the inertial navigator on military aircraft is basically just a decoration.

Back then, the guy on DC3 had an error of hundreds of kilometers per thousand kilometers, which was outrageous. At that time, navigation relied more on ground markers or ground navigation lighthouses.

However, the inertial navigator in front of me has an offset of only 4000 kilometers from Heyuan County to Balikpapan for more than [-] kilometers.

Although there are several radio navigation points established by the headquarters during the voyage, the bomber has actually adjusted its course, and his navigation has also undergone data correction, but it is outrageous enough.

Of course, the success of navigation has something to do with accurate maps.

"Ready to bomb."

The captain's order brought Tang Ge back to his thoughts, and after recording the new navigation data, he turned his gaze to the ground again.

What appeared in front of his eyes was a huge oil field and drilling platforms. At this time, the plane began to gradually lower the altitude, and those drilling flats became clearer in Tang Ge's vision.

Suddenly, the plane shook violently.

Tang Ge didn't panic. He knew that it was the bomber that opened the magazine and dropped the bomb.

Sure enough, a heavy bomb appeared in his line of sight, and the red light on the tail made this bomb particularly conspicuous.

"Aim at key nodes."

In the channel, the captain's voice sounded.

Balikpapan belongs to the oilfield area, and there are many drilling platforms, which are relatively scattered. These drilling platforms, unless large-scale carpet bombing, are difficult to be effective.

But at present, there is simply not enough manpower to carry out this task.

Therefore, key positions must be bombed.

"Yes."

At the position of the observation pod at the rear of the belly, the pilot turned on the special optical viewer, fixed his eyes on the falling bomb, and flicked the radio remote control with his fingers.

With the assistance of a special optical observer, they accurately tracked and locked the falling bomb, and more accurately judged the bomb's falling speed, falling direction, and pitch angle.

Although this new type of bomb has speedbrakes, which can reduce the landing speed and provide enough time for guidance, in order to avoid the influence of clouds, the height of the bomb is only [-] kilometers at this time. Once the guidance is wrong, the bomb may deviate from the target, and there is no Chance to boot again.

Because of the distance, the voyage of more than 4000 kilometers was in Taiyuan, and the bomber only carried ten 1.5-ton bombs and some small bombs. They had eight targets this time, and he had only two chances of failure.

Fortunately, the weather is beautiful today.

There was no wind and the sun was just right.

·····
below.

Balikpapan.

"airplane?"

Six star-shaped piston propellers, four turbojets, and ten engines made a huge roar that resounded throughout the Balikpapan oilfield area, and many devil oil workers looked up.

In the clear sky, everyone clearly saw the huge plane.

"so big."

"What plane is this?"

A captain of the devil who was also in charge of guarding in Balikpapan walked out of his headquarters and looked at the planes in the sky with a puzzled expression.

Beside him, a group of devil soldiers, as well as devil workers working in all oil fields and refineries, also stopped their work and looked up at the plane in the sky, curious and puzzled.

At this moment, these devils have no sense of crisis at all.

This is normal.

Balikpapan is located in the southeast corner of Borneo, in a remote location, far away from the battlefield. After the devils took over, it has never encountered any large-scale attacks. As for small-scale attacks, it has never stopped.

Guerrillas are everywhere.

But I have to say that the guerrillas here are really crotchless. Even with the private support from Europe and the United States, they hardly pose any threat to the little devil.

In fact, at the beginning, the devils were still worried about being bombed by the U.S. Army and long-range bombardment by the navy, so they deployed some air defense weapons and fighter jets, but this never happened. All aircraft and anti-aircraft guns here are evacuated.

The only thing left is a few 20mm anti-aircraft guns. With the devil's technology, the maximum shooting height of the 20mm anti-aircraft guns is only more than 800 meters, and they cannot reach bombers with a height of more than three kilometers.

Even because of the long-term comfort, even the air defense warning system exists in name only.

In this case, the reaction of the devils is also reasonable.

But then, the faces of the ghost soldiers and the workers changed drastically, because they saw that the huge plane had opened the belly magazine, and then dropped a huge bomb from it, and they all ran away in a hurry.

"Enemy bombing."

"hidden."

"All enter the air-raid shelter."

The devil's captain didn't panic, and still gave orders in an orderly manner.

Although the anti-aircraft weapons and fighter jets were withdrawn, the air-raid shelter left by the original construction is still there, and the air-raid drills that have been trained many times before have not passed for a long time. Soon, the devil soldiers and workers rushed to the air-raid shelter. Inside.

It makes sense for Captain Devil not to panic.

As the commander, he is very clear that the Balikpapan Oilfield is a huge complex, with nearly a hundred drilling wells, large and small. The key is only a few large drilling wells. The oil extracted from these drilling wells is transported to several refineries through pipelines .

Unless the enemy can accurately bomb the refinery, or drill the well, they can't do much damage to the oil field.

As an old devil with rich combat experience, the captain knew very well that due to the terrain, this kind of mission was difficult to complete even for a dive bomber, let alone such a large bomber.

If only a few small wells, or small pipelines are damaged, they can be repaired in a very short time.

This old devil is so bold that he even dared to stand outside directly, holding up his binoculars to look at the bomber in the sky, with a sneer on his lips—although he didn't know who the plane belonged to, but he wanted to rely on a plane Bomb the Balikpapan oil fields.

whimsical.

"Ok?"

"The bomb fell so slowly."

"And this bomb should have a high yield."

At this time, the devil also noticed something unusual. He keenly discovered that the bomb in the sky was much slower than the bomb he had seen before, and it was very huge.

Even, it seems... is moving?

"what happened?"

The devil captain frowned directly.

He felt a little bad, of course, only a little bad.

Unless the empire is particularly unlucky, unless the enemy is so lucky that the explosion hits the oil pipeline node and triggers a fire, a large drilling rig, or an oil refinery, the impact on the oil field is minimal.

He continued to stare at the rapidly falling bomb.

"Not right."

The devil's captain suddenly realized the problem:
"This bomb seems to be aiming at itself?"

But the speed of the bomb falling is so fast, even with the speed brake, it only takes more than 40 seconds to land at a height of [-] kilometers. Before the devil captain had time to think, the first bomb had already accurately hit the ground refinery.

boom!
A violent explosion sounded, and half a ton of RDX exploded into a huge fireball, centered on the point where the bomb fell, and the pipelines and oil pipes of the refinery were blown apart.

Immediately afterwards, there was a pillar of fire that shot up suddenly.

The high-pressure and high-temperature shock wave generated by the explosion instantly ignited the oil in the refinery, as well as various fuel oils in stock, and the rising flames were more than [-] meters high.

Although the refinery in Balikpapan can only do simple refining, the quality of the oil here is not bad, and heavy oil, diesel, and gasoline can be extracted with only simple equipment.

The order from China has caused the Southeast Asian oil fields to produce gasoline and diesel in large quantities, so the refineries here have stored a large amount of gasoline and diesel.

Especially the gasoline, which triggered a chain explosion.

"idiot."

This scene made the captain of the devil brigade tear up:

"how can that be?"

At a height of several kilometers, a bomb precisely hit the hidden oil refinery at the foot of the mountain.

How can this be?

How can this be?

In the shock and bewilderment of the old devil, the second bomb had already escaped from the magazine.

····
air.

"Nice job."

In the crew channel, the captain's cheers and orders sounded:

"Continue, target, this bombing target, the pipeline node on the left."

"Yes."

The first hit made the guide's morale and confidence doubled.

at the same time.

Like Balikpapan, in Palembang and several major oil fields in Sumatra, a giant bomber also dropped heavy bombs, precisely hitting oil refineries, oil depots, and large drilling platforms.

The devils, who lost their vigilance and even had no high-altitude air defense capabilities at all, could only watch themselves bombing.

After dropping all ten bombs, the three bombers even walked around at low altitude and dropped a small incendiary bomb weighing more than one ton and ten kilograms in the magazine at a distance of one kilometer.

Without special guidance, although these small bombs were poor in accuracy, they could not withstand the large number. The number of more than 100 bombs still caused many ignition points and damaged many small drilling platforms.

When the nearby Devils navy plane arrived, the three bombers had already ascended to the sky. Under the dumbfounded sight of the Devils pilot, the fuel throttle was fully opened, and they escaped from the pursuit of the Devils plane at a speed of more than 700 kilometers per hour.

A few hours later, damage reports were sent to surrounding Japanese commanders.

Stationed in Southeast Asia is the Navy.

Seeing the loss of 90.00% of the oil refining capacity, 50.00% of the drilling capacity, and the damage to multiple pipelines that would take at least half a year to repair, the commander of the Devils Navy stationed there immediately spit out old blood.

The navy has finally survived until now, and it has survived the oil in Southeast Asia, thinking that it will not be controlled by the army's heavy oil. Before it had time to be happy for a few days, it was completely destroyed by bombing.

A few hours later, this loss report also appeared in front of Senior Private Tojo.
