1219 Air Raid

The sound of an airplane flying is very special.

How special?

It is like a layer of substantial sound waves, roaring and rushing in from a distance.

The sound that can be heard at first is actually not harsh, nor violent. It is like something trembling slightly in your ears. You can't even tell that it is the sound of an airplane flying.

As the plane gets closer, the sound, which at first doesn't strike you as disturbing, begins to show some of its power.

The sound has changed from an invisible thing to a tangible thing. It is suppressed in everyone's heart and chest, and breathing becomes difficult!

Then the sound of destruction filled the world, like huge waves and tsunamis, and people were so small in front of it!

"The sound of bombers!" Ryan knew this sound very well. When he was in Marillo, he had close contact with bombings. It was this sound that brought destruction.

It was night at this time, and he was a little strange. He didn't know much about the air force's operations, but he also knew that the most important thing about night bombing was to find the target and then bomb it.

In addition to the front line of the defense line, there are some searchlights that are constantly scanning the beach to prevent anyone from approaching there at night. There is no light outside the defense line and it is dark.

Camping and lighting up under the enemy's guns is definitely because you were lucky enough not to die during the day, and now you are looking for death again.

If there is no way to locate the enemy in the dark, how will the bomber find its target?

Ryan was a little confused. He didn't quite understand this, but he just felt it was strange instinctively.

As the sound of bombers got closer and closer, some more soldiers appeared in the base. They turned on their searchlights and looked at the sky to look for those planes, and then the piercing siren sounded!

In fact, as early as two minutes ago, the command headquarters received a call from the front line, asking whether it was necessary to launch flares to find targets for the bombers.

The command was at a loss at that time. Although they had planned the bombing plan, it was not in the middle of the night!

They planned to delay the bombing time until four o'clock in the morning. There was already visible light at four o'clock in the morning in Nagaril, and the bombers could accurately find where the opponent was camping and then bomb.

Moreover, most people were still asleep at that time, and the sudden bombing could make them wander around the camp like headless flies, and eventually turn into dust.

The command immediately called the airport to ask if there was a change in the plan. After learning that there was no plane taking off from the airport, the command immediately realized that this was probably an enemy plane!

The shrill sirens rang through the camp, and the tanks parked in the camp started to move. The machine gunner controlled the four-link cannon to adjust the angle, and began to shoot into the sky under the beam of the searchlight.

There are also several anti-aircraft guns in the base. These are just for precaution, but they were actually used unexpectedly.

Unlike those tanks, the bullets of these anti-aircraft cannons contained tracer bullets, and bullets dragging light flew into the sky as a pre-sight calibration.

Soon, a plane suddenly spun and fell to the ground. Before people had time to cheer, their ears were filled with dense screams!

Just standing on the ground, you can imagine that those bombs or shells are spinning and falling head-first towards the ground, and everyone is panicking.

Ryan shook violently, rushed towards the power station, and roared loudly, "Turn off all lighting systems quickly, quickly..."

Just like the question he was thinking about before, without guidance, night bombing would be difficult to complete.

No one could have expected that the Penteo people would take the lead in launching night bombings, and the federal people would become "accomplices" due to their carelessness.

At this time, looking down from the sky, there are dots of starlight on the ground, and there are more or less people near or not far from each light source.

This provides those pilots with a very simple and straightforward goal. They don't need to arrange for their own people to risk the enemy at night, and they don't need to guess where there are people and where there are no people.

Just drop the bomb near those light sources and that's enough!

Ryan rushed into the power station and told the soldiers his thoughts. After a brief understanding, the soldiers began to shut down the power station.

The light sources in the camp began to disappear in large areas, and then everyone began to pray in the darkness.

Explosions kept coming, everything felt like hell!

I don't know how long it took, but Ryan woke up from his coma. He opened his eyes and his mind went blank. He didn't react until more than ten seconds later.

He looked around and sat up.

The next second, severe pain came from his ankle, and he almost jumped up in pain!

An electrical cabinet fell over and fell on his leg, possibly breaking his ankle.

But there is also some good news. There is a comrade under the electrical cabinet. It seems that he is dead. His body bears more weight.

Ryan screamed and pulled his legs out from under the electrical cabinet. He climbed up and turned to look at the camp behind him.

The whole camp felt like...it was blown up to the sky and then fell down again.

At this time, no intact buildings can be found, and there are ruins and doomsday scenes everywhere.

Colleagues were actively searching for and treating the wounded. Maybe Ryan's roar just now was heard by people. At this time, someone pointed at him in the distance and shouted loudly, "There are wounded over there who need help!"

Soon, two colleagues with tired and dusty faces ran over. One of them asked, "Do you need a stretcher?"

Ryan shook his head, stretched his arms on the shoulders of two colleagues, and walked deeper into the place.

"How are our casualties?", he asked.

Both colleagues fell silent, obviously the situation was not good.

About half a minute later, the colleague on the left sighed, "We have counted that more than 2,000 people died in last night's air raid. The exact number will have to wait until all places are cleared."

The man said and looked at Ryan, "Are you from the power station? Who asked you to pull the switch yesterday?"

Ryan was stunned for a moment, and then jumped twice to prevent himself from being "dragged" away. "I asked them to pull the switch. Did I do something wrong?"

He was a little panicked, and he just instinctively did those things in that situation.

In his understanding of night air raids, positioning was critical.

In the past, in order to facilitate the night air raids on Marillo's warlords, they needed to fire flares of different colors over the opponent's occupied areas to identify friend or foe.

If there is no light and no target, the bomber may not be able to find the correct location.

The soldier on the left sighed with emotion, "You saved us, and the subsequent bombers missed their position. If it weren't for you, our casualties might have been even more severe!"

The man laughed twice, "You are our hero..."

Soon Ryan was sent to the medical area. The doctor took a look at his ankle and found that the problem was not serious. There were some minor bone cracks and a fractured tibia. He would not be able to walk for a short time.

Being unable to move is different from being injured in the arm or elsewhere. He must be sent back to the Federation to receive better treatment until he fully recovers.

According to statistics from the whole morning, more than 3,300 soldiers have left this world in the air strikes. As for how many people died on the front line, the data has not yet been calculated.

This piece of news was also delivered to Lynch at 10:15.

Mr. Wardrick was there too. He came early in the morning and looked very calm.

In fact, the results achieved by the tank were much higher than he expected. Judging from the positive feedback from the scene, his tank had extremely efficient killing capabilities when dealing with infantry.

And it also has excellent air defense capabilities during night air defense.

Aircraft during this period actually did not fly very fast, and their flying altitude was not high, so the core combat intention of air defense weapons was still to destroy the aircraft.

When technology advances again and aircraft speeds up, the role of anti-aircraft weapons will become to hinder rather than destroy.

Quad-link autocannon, very effective against air targets.

Whether it is used to deal with enemy infantry units or as a fast-moving air defense force, it is very suitable for the current situation.

The Ministry of National Defense sent people to his factory early in the morning, intending to purchase part of it after an on-site inspection.

According to a friend of Mr. Wardrick, the order may be more than a thousand vehicles!

When Lynch was reading the report, he did not disturb him and just sat quietly aside.

After Lynch read it, he was also very interested in the report, so Lynch threw the report to him.

After watching for a while, Mr. Wardrick's expression became solemn, "Nearly four thousand people died, one-third of the people, and a large amount of ordnance and supplies were destroyed. The losses were heavy."

He raised his head and looked at Lin Qi with a solemn expression, "Do you want to withdraw people?"

Lynch shook his head, "People will always die in war, Mr. Wardrick, don't expect a war without casualties."

"This time we were a little careless, and next time we will be even more careful."

"And compared to the federal government, our losses are not too serious. What we have to do next is to let them understand that they have provoked people they should not have provoked."

Mr. Wardrick was a little surprised, "What are you going to do?"

Lynch grinned, "Of course I'll go back with double the revenge!"

At this time, at the airport in eastern Nagaril, far away from the border, planes began to load cluster bombs. Conventional bombs should have been used for the bombing. This was not a real war.

In a sense, this is a slightly escalated "friction", and the two sides have been attacking and defending here for a period of time.

But now, it's not!

The command headquarters received the order, and except for some people who stayed behind, others were ready to rush to the battlefield at any time.

Blackstone Security Company will conduct saturation bombing of areas where the enemy may be present, at least twice!

After the bombing, the troops intervened on the battlefield and left all the Pengeo people on this land!

At the same time, another group of planes were rapidly approaching the eastern Nagaril Airport. In order to keep the Pengeo planes behind, Lynch immediately arranged for some fighter jets to go to the eastern Nagaril to intercept the opponent's aircraft. bomber.

Whether they want to continue bombing or leave, Lynch will not let them do so.
