Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 958: New Air Combat

"Woo... woo... woo..." The sound of sirens echoed over the border cities of Shu, and the people of Shu raised their heads to look at the sky, and saw a group of slender planes flying over. the top of their heads.

It wasn't that the air defense sirens sounded late, but that the common people in Shu really didn't know what to do when the air defense sirens sounded.

In fact, not many modern people who lack wartime training know what they should do in the air defense alarm?
escape?Don't make trouble, except for places like the subway, there are really not many young people who know the nearest civil defense works around them.

Although many underground garages and subways in modern cities are rebuilt from anti-aircraft facilities, many of their original functions have been lost after all, and they cannot actually be used as bunkers.The Shu country in this world doesn't even have air defense facilities, it doesn't even have decent underground garages and subway stations.

Due to the technological influence of the Great Tang Empire, almost all countries in the world, the speed of urban construction is actually reversed, and they do not develop according to conventional development ideas.

What kind of anti-aircraft bunker facilities, what kind of sewer system, what kind of electricity and other things are all developed later.

In other words, everyone first builds houses, repairs factories, and builds railways.First develop the industry, and then the conditions of living and the like are all followed.

When the population increases, when the factories develop, when there are railways, airports and large buildings, then study the so-called sewers, find ways to build larger power plants, and then think about the lack of supporting facilities.

Take Fengjiang City in the Great China Empire as an example. Except for the core part of the city built by the Datang Empire engineering team, which has complete supporting facilities, the surrounding systems are actually incomplete.

The sewer needs to be repaired every year, and the power system needs to be replaced every year.Do you expect such a state of the city to find a bomb shelter?What a joke.

What's more, the world itself doesn't have any decent air defense concepts. The common people have only been afraid of the air force for seven or eight years at most. What good habits can they have?

Therefore, when the air defense siren sounded, the common people in Shu didn't know what they were going to do.Some smart and rich people drove to the suburbs, and some returned home to be with their families.

Everyone didn't know what happened, so more ordinary people still stood in the streets and alleys, staring at the enemy planes in the sky in a daze.

Above the sky, the pilots of Qin State who were carrying out the bombing mission were also very nervous looking at the densely packed buildings under their feet through the special glass window of the nose like a flower house.

This is the first time they have carried out a bombing mission to bomb a city, and it is also the first time they are preparing to drop bombs into such a huge-looking city.

"Open the bomb bay!" The bombardier shouted in the noisy plane as he saw the roofs of the houses in the city through the original sight produced by the Tang Empire.

Accompanied by his shouting and the humming sound of the engine, the belly bomb bay of the DO-17 bomber was slowly opened, and the bombs hanging upside down in the bomb bay saw the sun one after another.

"I've aimed! Start dropping the bomb!" The bomber aimed at the city under his feet with the sight on the bomb's sight, and then announced loudly.

Almost at the same time, with a sudden force on his finger on the bomb launcher, a bomb broke free from the pylon and fell into the sky, followed by a second bomb of the same kind, and then a third bomb.

The fuselage of the bomber was shaking slightly, and with the trembling of the airflow, one after another, 50 kg bombs broke away from the restraint of the plane and fell towards the ground under their feet.

This bombing method was also trained by the Qin State after learning the carpet bombing of the Tang Empire. Although their number of planes was far less than that of the Tang Empire, they did learn a similarity.

Another bomber following this bomber fuselage was also dropping bombs, and the bombers further behind were still dropping bombs.

This is the charm of carpet bombing, and it also explains the power of carpet bombing: 40 DO-17 bombers dropped bombs together, and the destructive power is indeed quite amazing.

It is true that the DO-17 bomber sold by the Datang Empire to Qin has only a pitiful 1 ton of bombs, which is pitifully less than other bombers, but this bomb load has improved a lot compared to the previous biplane bombers up.

40 DO-17 bombers can carry 40 tons of bombs. These bombs fell on the city and immediately set off a bloodbath.

The first bomb fell directly on the roof of the house, blowing a huge hole in the roof.The time-delay fuze, born in the Tang Empire, guaranteed that the bomb would not explode immediately after breaking through the roof, but would have to wait for a while.

This is done to ensure that the bomb can explode inside the building, so that it can exert its maximum power when it explodes.

A few seconds later, the bomb that fell into the house exploded suddenly, and the huge shock wave destroyed the walls around the building, and also lifted the roof of the house all at once.

Immediately afterwards, the second bomb also exploded, directly setting off a cloud of black smoke on the street.The civilians of the Shu Kingdom who were watching the excitement were overturned by the shock wave. The people who were shot around were crying and howling, and the people standing around immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

A third bomb exploded not far away, followed by a fourth and a fifth.Seeing these bombs extending to another block, the people in Shu finally realized that the war seemed to have really broken out.

"Help! Someone's dead!" A woman finally couldn't help screaming when she saw the corpses lying all over beside the bomb crater not far away.

Frankly speaking, as a medium-range bomber that can only carry one bomb and has weak self-protection capabilities, the performance of the DO-17 bomber is actually not very good.

The bombs it dropped were small, and if large enough, carried few, which severely limited its combat effectiveness.

However, when the people of Shu saw modern bombing for the first time, they were indeed frightened.

For the first time, they saw an enemy from the sky, and at the same time, they were also desperate to find that the city they were in was so vulnerable to attack.

Originally, they thought that their city was more than 200 kilometers away from the border, which was an absolutely safe place.Even if war broke out, they would still have time to flee to the mainland.

It is a pity that now, the reality hit them hard: even if it is more than 200 kilometers away from the border, the enemy's planes can still launch bombings on the same day, turning the city into ruins.

"Come on! Put out the fire!" Not far away, as the bomb exploded and the wall collapsed, and the wooden house burned, someone yelled in fear.

Because there are many wooden buildings, fire has always been the most feared disaster for the common people in Shu.Because once a fire breaks out, it is likely to spread to the entire block and cause huge losses to people.

Above the sky, the Shu Kingdom purchased technology from the Tang Empire, assembled and produced the C200 fighter jets, which are called Type 200 fighter jets in the Shu Kingdom, and are circling.

Its main performance is about the same as the Hurricane Fighter, and it is indeed worse than the Butcher, but there is no huge generation difference.

The pilots of the Shu Kingdom flying more than a dozen of these planes have already rushed to the battlefield. They saw that the city of their own country is being attacked, and a thick black smoke has risen from the inside of the city.

"Lean in! Lean in! Cut from the edge! Bite the opponent!" The leading commander of the Shu Air Force issued an order through the walkie-talkie.

Accompanied by the whistling sound of engines, these Shu fighters began to cut into the battlefield, and a fighter instantly bit a slender flying pencil that had just completed its bombing mission.

"Thuk Thuk Thuk!" The Type 200 fighter was only equipped with two 12.7 mm caliber aviation machine guns. Its firepower was relatively weak, and it was actually quite difficult to attack bombers.

However, the defense performance of the DO-17 bomber itself is very rubbish, and the thin skin and filling are very fragile, so the two sides are evenly matched on another level.

The pilot of the Shu State grabbed the Qin State's bomber, and opened fire at a very close range against the tracer bullets fired by the defensive machine gun of the opponent's aircraft, sweeping out a row of bullets.

"Go to hell!" In the small cockpit, the pilot of the Shu country forced out a curse from between his teeth. Along with his curse, the tracer bullets he fired pierced a row of holes in the opponent's fuselage.

A bullet hit the engine of the Flying Pencil DO-17 bomber, and then thick smoke overflowed from the hatch of the engine. The altitude of the hit Flying Pencil began to drop uncontrollably.

At this time, the other two Type 200 fighter jets also found their attack target. They chased after the flying pencil one after another, and fired rows of tracer bombs until the flying pencil was emitting thick smoke. until it starts to fall.

The two bombers were shot down in the blink of an eye, and Qin's air force escort fighter force was in a hurry.They were involved in the battlefield and began to fight with the enemy planes of the Shu Kingdom.

For a while, the engines roared in the sky above the battlefield, and the planes of their own country and the enemy's planes were seen fighting on the ground. The people of Shu finally couldn't restrain their emotions, and raised their arms and cheered loudly.

"Enemy plane! Enemy plane!" In the melee airspace, the commander of the Shu Kingdom reminded his comrades while avoiding the Qin State fighter jets chasing and killing him: "Be careful of the enemy's escort fighter jets!"

"Sir, hold on! Hold on! I'm biting him! Circling! Circling!" In the headset, the voice of the friendly army was hurried and nervous.

"Pay attention to the altitude! Pay attention to the altitude! Be careful of fuel consumption! Don't love to fight!" On the other side, the fighter pilots of Qin State were also nervously manipulating their planes.In the earphones, there was an equally busy and excited shout.
