Chapter 439： Burning

"My God, the gods are up...what are they going to do..." Looking up at the sky, a puppet imperial soldier with a Mauser 98k rifle on the Mullen River defense line squinted his eyes and looked at the sky above his head. .

He saw a dark cloud, a whole man-made, terrible dark cloud, surging with noise, passing over his head.

It was the Ailan Hill bombers crowded together, and it was the first time he saw such a magnificent sight.

Coming from the countryside of the Puppet Empire, he has always lived quietly in a small mountain village. The centipede city that he passes by from time to time is the most spectacular sight he has ever seen.

In that not prosperous mountain village, he lived for thirty-two years, and then he was conscripted into the army and became a soldier of the puppet empire.

He still doesn't quite understand why he, who doesn't know how to magic, has always been a puppet and was a second-class citizen. He wants to act as an insignificant soldier in the war waged by magicians.

He didn't know what had happened to that invincible puppet empire. He only knew that he had been sent to the front line, nervously digging some ridiculous horizontal pits, which he heard were called trenches.

He also worked with puppet soldiers. These soldiers worked hard and didn't feel lazy like him. Everyone is working hard, as if this is all the work of the war.

Until then, he saw the soldiers across the river crossing the Mullen River in a panic, abandoning the position they should have held.

It was not until that day that he saw with his own eyes a huge black eagle flag rising above the town across the river, he knew that the war had come so close to him.

However, after all, it was only a national flag raised on the other side of the river. After all, nothing had crossed the Malun River and had not set foot on the inherent territory of the Puppet Empire.

Now, everything has changed. This puppet imperial soldier, who was once a farmer, looked up at the sky. He saw one after another Ailan Hill bomber, crossing the Marron River and over his head.

"I'm afraid there are hundreds of bombers?" A puppet empire officer put down the single-tube telescope in his hand, looked depressed at his colleagues around him, and asked.

Recently, the adjective depressed often appeared on the faces of puppet empire officers, because all they could do recently was the expression of depressed.

Watching the soldiers of Ailan Hill put their flags on the heads of cities occupied by the Puppet Empire, apart from being depressed, they didn't have any good expressions.

"Hundreds? There are at least 300 bombers." Another officer beside him shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't know where they are going to bomb, but I know it must be over there."

This officer was obviously transferred back from the front line, and had personally seen the overwhelming bombing power of the Ailan Hill bomber.

If some of these bombers were equipped with nuclear bombs, the scene would definitely be more lively.

While speaking, another huge bomber phalanx appeared on the horizon again, and it seemed that there were as many as 300 planes.

For this large-scale bombing, Ailan Hill deployed a large number of bombers from the front to perform this large-scale bombing mission.

With the bombers transferred back from the southern and western fronts, plus the large number of b-17 bombers inherent in the southwest front, Ailan Hill assembled at least 1,000 large bombers and another 1,000 attack aircraft of various types.

Covering these aircraft are another 400 advanced fighters of various types, including a small number of f-15 and f-16, and more than 200 MiG-21s, as well as some MiG-17 fighters that have not had time to retire.

"Report!" At this moment, when the headquarters of the Puppet Empire was silent, an attendant suddenly pushed in and frightened everyone. After shouting a loud report, he walked to the commander's side and reported: "The anti-aircraft artillery unit sent someone to ask... Your Master... Do you need to fire and intercept?"

Naturally, there are also 30mm anti-aircraft guns on the Malun River Defense Line. Although the number is small, there are still some.

There are even 75 mm anti-aircraft guns and 130 mm large anti-aircraft guns developed and produced by the Puppet Empire.

Why do these calibers love Lanhill so much? Because the Puppet Empire imported from the Holy Demon Empire was a processing line of this caliber, and later developed by itself, it can only use the caliber provided by Ailan Hill.

For example, the 75mm caliber anti-aircraft gun was developed from the 75mm caliber infantry gun forcibly improved. As for the performance, it can only be described in two words.

In the same way, the 130mm caliber anti-aircraft gun is actually a wonderful enhancement of the 130mm caliber howitzer, and the firing height is not very strong, only about 10,000 meters, which is very reluctant to intercept the Ailan Hill bomber.

But, again, there is always better than nothing. In order to intercept Ailan Hill’s air force, the Puppet Empire was rushing to the doctor, so how could it be possible that the weapon that was produced with great difficulty would be discarded because of its average performance?

Therefore, whether it is for the sake of economy or the performance is sufficient, the Puppet Empire is equipped with many types of anti-aircraft guns.

As for whether these anti-aircraft guns can achieve a good interception effect, it is the benevolent who sees the benevolent and the wise.

At this moment, there are 15 130 mm anti-aircraft guns, 29 75 mm anti-aircraft guns, and more than 1,100 30 mm anti-aircraft guns on the Malun River defense line.

These anti-aircraft guns formed 32 anti-aircraft gun positions, distributed on the Mullen River Defense Line, and were responsible for protecting this defense line from being destroyed by the Air Force of Ailan Hill.

But how much effect these anti-aircraft guns can play, everyone who has seen the Puppet Empire commander of the Airenhill Air Force knows in their hearts, but they don't want to put it through.

"Interception? What interception! Tell them not to fire and provoke! In case these planes drop bombs, the Mullen River defense line will be over!" The puppet empire commander exasperated in anger.

After hearing the scolding, the attendant was taken aback, then suddenly nodded, turned around immediately, and passed the command's order.

When Ailan Hill's bomber troops crossed the Mullen River defense line, like an eagle flying across the grassland, everything was silent, and no one dared to make a sound.

Various Ailan Hill bombers and attack planes flew in formation in the sky, and then each flew to the bombing targets that had been repeatedly confirmed on satellite maps.

These targets are jungle farmland, as well as roads and traffic nodes, including villages and small towns.

Because the cities of the Puppet Empire were in a mobile state, Ailan Hill's air force did not give its troops an order to attack large cities and towns during this round of bombing.

However, they also prepared a big gift for each other. Among the bomber forces, 100 b-52 bombers were equipped with new Tomahawk cruise missiles. Some of these missiles were also equipped with nuclear warheads.

These bombers are scattered in various attack teams, and as long as they find a moving puppet empire city, they can launch cruise missiles to attack.

Anyway, the coverage area of ​​this bombing is wide enough, and there will always be some large cities of the puppet empire, even if these cities are moving, it is difficult to escape the attack of Tomahawk cruise missiles.

As long as a nuclear bomb hits, a large city is estimated to suffer heavy losses, and a medium-sized city is estimated to be completely destroyed-anyway, Ailan Hill can afford it, but the puppet empire can't.

After all, Ailan Hill is the offensive party. They are the creators of losses. They don't worry about failure, and as long as they succeed once, the puppet empire will be over.

A few minutes later, on the first batch of B-17 bombers that approached the target, the bombardier's eyes were removed from the sight, and he reported loudly to his captain: "I have seen the forest! You can start dropping bombs! You can start dropping bombs!"

"Open the bomb bay! Open the bomb bay!" Inside the radio, voices one after another confirmed.

Then, the belly doors of these bulky bombers began to slowly open amid the noise of mechanical friction.

Immediately afterwards, most of the relatively backward incendiary bombs hung in the bomb bay were exposed to the turbulent airflow.

"Drop the bomb!" "Drop the bomb!" In the radio, shouts one after another one after another, one after another incendiary bombs just broke away from the bomber, and under the action of gravity, dived towards the target underfoot.

An incendiary bomb fell from the sky and slammed straight into the dense woods. The incendiary agent inside splashed out, spreading and burning with the fire.

The trees were then ignited, and the dead leaves that had not decayed completely last year also began to burn. With white phosphorus and other combustion-supporting agents, everything became restless, and the fire rose into the sky in the jungle.

The low-level monsters rushed out of their lair in panic, looking at an uncontrollable fire next to them in horror. They fled in all directions, but couldn't escape the attacks of incendiary bombs falling from the sky.

Many beasts and beasts were directly ignited by incendiary bombs, and a few advanced beasts were also embarrassed. They rushed into the lake water, but found that as the temperature increased, the water in these small lakes had a tendency to boil.

Before the bombers in the sky could completely fly by, the thick black smoke was already rolling in the jungle, and the original face was no longer visible.

And further away, another huge bomber formation also began to drop the same bomb against another piece of wood.

Countless giant trees turned into coke in the flames, lit animals ran away in the jungle, and countless birds avoided the burning of the fire. On this day, most of the puppet empire's land was burning.

And all this is just the prelude to the Air Force attack on this day. Behind, there are various surprises they prepared for the puppet empire.
