Chapter 2817 Welcome to Flame Mountain
There is nothing wrong with setting up the extremely fragile and vital reserve ammunition depot underground. It is the right approach.
The tall and solid G-type air defense tower is enough to protect the ammunition depot located directly below. In theory, as long as the air defense tower itself is not penetrated, any aerial bombs that attempt to attack from the top will not be able to hurt the ammunition depot at all.
Because it is located underground and protected by a solid and thick concrete wall, not only can it be completely immune to attacks from the top, but it is also basically wishful thinking to penetrate the surface at an oblique angle and bombard the ammunition depot.
However, this is only relative to conventional weapons. The problem is that the "Red Stalingrad" is not a conventional weapon at all.
The 800mm concrete destructive bomb with amazing destructive power was directly shot into the air defense tower from the base under the huge gravity acceleration.
The seemingly indestructible outer wall of the air defense tower has only a limited weakening effect on this meteorite-like attack, and has no blocking effect at all.
After penetrating the outer wall of the air defense tower without any suspense, the projectile, whose kinetic energy impact has not been exhausted and whose time-delay fuse has not been triggered, continues to move forward along the predetermined ballistic route.
The seemingly thick concrete covering layer covering the bottom ammunition depot appears so pale and fragile in the face of the kinetic energy impact that is enough to penetrate the outer wall of the air defense tower.
When the concrete covering layer is ruthlessly penetrated, the ammunition depot that continues to go down along the ammunition lifting shaft no longer has any effective defense to rely on.
The most vulnerable core node is completely exposed in front of the violently bombarded projectile, and all the results are doomed at this moment.
When the time-delay fuse successfully triggers the projectile warhead charge to cause an explosion, the huge amount of 128mm shells stored in the ammunition depot, which is not full, but at least has enough surplus, as well as various types of 37mm, 20mm and other types of shells, are also detonated and exploded.
It is also worth mentioning that Comrade Lao Ma guessed one thing, a very important thing.
In the lower ammunition reserve depot under this air defense tower, there are indeed some other things besides ammunition.
As the ultimate creation of the G-type air defense tower with the largest volume, strongest combat power, most complete comprehensive facilities and all kinds of emergency equipment, it has the ability to be self-contained and fight independently in extremely harsh battlefield environments.
This requires not only the G-type air defense tower to have complete supporting facilities and emergency equipment, but also sufficient reserve materials, including various types of ammunition, food, drinking water, medical supplies, etc.
It is even more necessary for the G-type air defense tower, a "super power consumer", to have a considerable degree of self-sustaining power supply capacity. Even if the power supply system in Berlin is cut off and destroyed, it can still continue to fight until the power system is restored, so that the whole tower will not be completely shut down once the power is cut off.
After all, you can't expect the Germans to "generate electricity with love" in the case of power outages to drive the tower's bullet hoists, elevators, lighting, communications, and the many anti-aircraft gun groups and giant searchlights on the top of the tower, right?
Therefore, it is necessary for the air defense tower to have enough power supply for self-use and to maintain it for a period of time when the external power supply is completely cut off.
Otherwise, the enemy can completely paralyze the air defense tower by destroying the external power system first, and then use heavy bombers carrying super-heavy bombs to eliminate the problem at a fixed point.
Although the Germans do come up with some incomprehensible designs in many cases.
But they are at least a camp with a long history of battles and rich practical experience, and they still have military doctrine logic and basic design considerations. It is impossible for such a painstakingly built ultimate creation to be destroyed in the end because there is no electricity available and it becomes a pure target without defense.
The final result of this is that the Germans have set up standby generators for each section of the G-type air defense tower that can operate independently and even call for power across regions.
Even if the whole of Berlin is out of power, the G-type air defense tower will not be out of power, at least not temporarily.
In a really bad situation, the G-type air defense tower can even temporarily transfer the power from the lower floor to the top floor for combat use. After the battle is over, the power supply will be transferred to the lighting and medical facilities on the middle floor to ensure the power consumption for basic life and medical treatment.
It sounds grand and is simply the ultimate fortress for the doomsday survival maniacs of this era, and the most ideal paradise refuge.
But the problem is that the generator is not a void generator. If you want the generator sets in various areas of the tower to operate normally, you have to reserve fuel for these generators in advance.
Fuel is even more dangerous than ammunition. At least the shells have a fuse, and it is not so easy to explode after the fuse is removed, but oil does not. This is a fierce thing that can be ignited and exploded at a touch. Not to mention World War II, even in the high-tech era of the 21st century.
Therefore, the safety level of the reserve fuel must not be low. If necessary, it should even be higher than the safety level of the ammunition reserve. Even if it cannot be higher, it must be at least the same level.
Where is the safest place in the relatively limited space of the air defense tower?
There is no need to look for it or think too much. The safest place is only one - the underground storage warehouse directly below the bottom of the air defense tower.
So this can also be said to be a relatively helpless move. Storing ammunition and fuel together is the only way.
What else are you going to do? Set up the fuel depot in the open air on the top of the air defense tower to avoid crowding the internal space? Is your brain okay?
The benefits are real, that is, the safety factor of the fuel depot has reached the ultimate highest level under the G-type air defense tower, an independent combat unit, and it can't be higher.
But the result is also real, that is, the live broadcast of the "Ruins Flame Mountain" seen by Malashenko.
The behavior of you Germans who were forced to store ammunition and fuel together directly led to the horrifying scene of the ground cracking and gushing out of the Berlin Zoo, and it was also the direct cause of the void fire dragon in the air defense tower rushing straight into the sky. The ammunition depot explosion alone could not cause such a large-scale "active volcanic eruption".
It was also because the incompletely burned fuel was splashed on the surface in large quantities and continued to burn under the action of open flames that the "Ruins Flame Mountain" was finally completely formed, becoming a "spectacular wonder" that had never appeared in the city of Berlin in the existing history.
"What to do next? The target has been achieved."
The Rocket Assault Battalion Commander, who did not know the complete combat plan, asked out of curiosity, and Malashenko, who answered him, only smiled indifferently with a mysterious expression on his face.
"Of course, let all the Nazis in the city know what earth-shattering things we just did."
