Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 479: 4000 pounds, 18 tons of block destroyer, great power makes miracles happen

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

In a series of violent explosions and flames, none of the thirty-seven Zero fighters that came to support the Qiongya Garrison were spared.

The flying mechanical parts and flaming shrapnel instantly created a deadly no-man's land around the tarmac.

In addition to the destructive power released by the high-explosive bombs themselves, the remaining aviation fuel in this fighter plane created a wonderful drama of adding fuel to the fire and burning myself.

As for those Japanese pilots who rushed towards their respective vehicles?
Of course, they died from the frontal attack of the Mosquito tactical bomber with full firepower.

Even if some lucky ones can escape by chance, the flying metal fragments will pierce them into anthropomorphic sieves, with the main effect of treating them equally but with explosive output.

"Baga! Why did things turn out like this! Where on earth did the enemy come from?"

"If these bombers departed from the southern Henan region of the Republic of China, they would have to cross at least three provinces to reach Qiongya. How could the army idiots not notice such a long distance? Are they all blind?"

"Damn it, they didn't even have any warning effect. They are just a bunch of parasites waiting to die. No wonder they were defeated so miserably in North China!"

Watching his own flight squadron being devastated, Naval Aviation Major Daisuke Shinjo's eyes were bloodshot.

If it weren't for his old classmates and personal adjutant who tried their best to dissuade him, no one would know what idiotic and stupid things this devil would do.

There is no way around it, since the IJN in the early and middle stages of World War II took the elite route.

More than 30 experienced pilots were lost in one go, and they died on the ground in humiliation. This level of casualties, even if Yamamoto was there in person, he would still feel heartbroken for a while.

As his colleagues wailed, Mikio Masaku also put on a mask of pain.

As the head of the Qiongya Garrison Air Force, now that Dayingshan Airport is under enemy air attack, he, as the main person in charge, will definitely be held accountable by his superiors.

When he thought of his general's sinister expression, he couldn't stop breaking out in a cold sweat.

"There's no need to think about where the enemy is coming from now, it's too late."

"Ah, I originally thought that the enemy didn't have enough firepower to cover the entire apron. Now it seems that we were too naive. I never expected that the Mosquito's bomb load would be so terrifying."

"I even have reason to suspect that De Havilland with an English accent is the poor imitator."

It turned out that Mikio Masaku not only underestimated the single-strike capability of the Mosquito tactical bomber, but also overestimated the protection of the Zero fighter.

The Zero fighter, whether it is the early Type 12 or the mid-term Type 21, Type 32, and Type 22, is undoubtedly a fighter that pursues ultimate combat performance.

In order to maximize the so-called circling dogfight capability, Japan's military industry practitioners basically did not consider the fighter's protection during the design period.

The cockpit and fuselage of this aircraft are hollowed out in many places, and the bulletproof steel plates and closed fuel tanks are not even equipped with optional crisp lighters. It can't even withstand the aftermath of an aerial bomb explosion, let alone survive a frontal bombardment.

Facing a fully-fired Mosquito, even if it were replaced with flying concrete from a magic game, it would most likely be destroyed on the spot.

After a sigh, Masaku Mikio forcibly grabbed his colleague who was blinded by anger, and then quickly came up with his own backup plan.

"Shinjo-kun, calm down! Calm down! As long as there is life, there is hope. Losing dozens of Zero fighters is painful, but at least we still have a chance for revenge."

"The enemy has not yet discovered the disguised spare hangar, where there are still two Zeros and three Type 96 carrier-based fighters hidden."

"We can take off when the Eighth Route Army Air Force lets down its guard and catch them off guard. As long as we can shoot down a certain number of enemy planes and gather intelligence on the multi-purpose Mosquito fighter for our country, the two of us will be able to offset our own merits."

Thanks to Mikio Makado's rapid-fire guidance, Daisuke Shinjo's IQ gradually returned to its high point.

The old Japanese first stared at the twin-engine fighter above the airport with vicious eyes, and then ran towards the spare hangar without looking back, obviously ready for a fight to the death.

"Just follow your plan! Hurry up and follow me. I can't wait to fight!"

"Okay! I'll help you!"

······
Just as the surviving Japanese pilots were running for their lives, ready to fight to the death, eight Mosquito tactical bombers launched an attack on the oil storage area of ​​Dayingshan Airport.

The terrifying scream of the Merlin's engine made the leading Mikio Makado slow down his pace involuntarily.

The rest of the team members also subconsciously looked back. They also wanted to know where the Eighth Route Army's next target would be.

After just one glance, the old Japanese soldier revealed a mysterious smile, then continued on his way without looking back.

As if he had noticed the confusion of his old classmates, he explained to everyone while running:
"The oil depot at Dayingshan Airport was upgraded as early as March this year. In order to prevent sudden attacks by the Ugly Chinese, sufficient concrete is now poured on top of each oil tank."

"With such protection, even if conventional weapons hit directly, they can only scratch the oil tank."

"The Eighth Route Army's bombers attacking the oil storage area is actually a good thing for us. If they attack the concrete, they will inevitably waste a lot of high-explosive bombs, and the damage to the airport will be smaller."

The Japanese during World War II fought a war with tactics but no strategy. Compared with other major participating countries, they neither cared about their own logistics nor targeted the enemy's supply lines.

However, the above concept has changed in this timeline. Ever since Nanyun led the team to successfully attack Pearl Harbor and destroyed the docks and oil depots on the island in one fell swoop, the characters have deeply realized the importance of logistics.

Take the Qiongya Garrison as an example.

As soon as Kaneo Sunagawa received instructions from his superiors, he asked Dayingshan Airport to strengthen the existing oil storage system and even ordered the construction of an underground oil depot.

However, the construction workload of the underground oil depot is too large, so as of today, the construction team has not yet reached the target progress.

This good news immediately made Shinjo Daisuke delighted. After all, no one would not want to see a strong enemy suffer a defeat.

"well!"

"Mr. Zhenjiao, lead the way quickly. I want to launch an attack when the Eighth Route Army Air Force doubts itself! Since they dare to attack from a long distance, they will have to pay a corresponding price!"

······
On the other hand, at the same time that the Japanese were running towards the spare hangar, the bomber formation led by the combat hero Wang Tianbao had already arrived at the combat entry point.

Looking at the six 11m x 9m aviation fuel tanks below, he gave a decisive order:

"Comrades! Attack!"

"As long as we blow up those oil tanks, we can completely paralyze the enemy's aviation unit's endurance. Without fuel, it will be useless even if the enemy transfers troops from Guangdong Province."

"After the bombing, if you encounter any surviving enemy Zero fighters, do not engage in a fight! Action begins!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eight Mosquitoes changed their flying postures almost at the same time.

Everyone controlled their fighter planes and dived towards the oil storage area of ​​Dayingshan Airport at a small angle of about thirty degrees.

The reason why the comrades launched the attack at the same time was that aviation fuel is highly volatile and will produce black smoke 100% of the time once hit by a high-explosive bomb.

Under the influence of wind direction and speed, the black smoke produced by the burning will inevitably interfere with the hit rate of subsequent attacks, especially when facing smaller oil tanks.

When the fighter planes arrived at the best bombing point, eight Mosquito tactical bombers with slightly different appearances opened their bomb bay doors one after another and dropped the special bombs they carried at the Japanese oil storage area at an altitude of 1800 meters.

A real man still doesn’t look back at the explosion.

Without waiting to observe the results of the battle, the comrades began to climb in their fighter planes, formed a formation in the air and flew towards the predetermined assembly point.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After eight loud noises like thunder, a miniature mushroom cloud appeared in the southwest corner of Haikou Dayingshan Airport.

At this moment, this cloud of smoke was undoubtedly the protagonist of the entire operation. Both the dying Japanese soldiers and the 1st Marine Brigade waiting several kilometers away were attracted by it.

Seeing their own oil storage area being "hit with one shot", Mikio Makado and Daisuke Shinjo who were about to attack were both shocked.

The mushroom cloud before them even reminded them of the battleship Nagato that was sunk a few months ago.

"Nani! What happened?"

"Makaku-kun, didn't you say that the concrete on top of the oil tanks was enough to withstand a frontal attack from conventional bombs? Why did the enemy completely explode six oil tanks after only one attack?"

Each of the oil tanks at Dayingshan Airport is equipped with an independent embankment, which can play a good isolation role.

Coupled with the protection of concrete, theoretically even a 250-kilogram bomb cannot threaten the safety of the fuel.

Under normal circumstances, if you want to completely destroy the oil storage area, the best solution is to first use high-explosive bombs with triggered fuses to destroy the oil tanks.

After the fuel leaks out, the delayed-action bomb dropped together will be used to ignite the fuel.

However, the combat hero Wang Tianbao chose a completely different path, which is to use great strength to create miracles.

Faced with six fully protected oil tanks, he directly led his comrades to drop eight 4000-pound (1.8-ton) special bombs, the Block Destroyer.

This big baby has a diameter of 76 cm and a total length of 2.92 meters.

As an aerial bomb, the Block Destroyer has no risk of exploding, so its charge is directly 1.4 tons. With this amount of charge, the Conqueror and Thor would cry silently.

This is the charm of a twin-engine, high-horsepower fighter. Before it officially drops bombs, no one knows what treasure it carries.

Facing his colleague's soul-searching question, Masaku Mikio did not respond immediately. He first rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and then shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Lift off! Everyone lift off!"

"The enemy is trying to escape! Our fuel supply is limited, so we must keep the Eighth Route Army Air Force in Qiongya!" (End of this chapter)
