Chapter 535 Cluster Bombs

However, they have no choice, because they are soldiers, and since they are soldiers, it is their duty to obey orders!

So, they could only watch the people fall into the water and watch the people struggling in the water, while their ships were getting farther and farther from the shore.

Their hearts are heavy.

At this time, the Junkers-88 bombers were still flying in the sky, and their targets were the nearby French military bases!

Brest, east, thirty kilometers away, French air base.

When the sharp siren sounded, there was tension inside the French air base.

This is the second-tier air force. There are almost no well-trained air force personnel at all. It is just a logistical training base for training junior pilots. Their backward biplanes, even if they take off, will not bring what a threat.

Even so, the attack on this air base was still carried out as a priority. In the alarm on the ground, the Junkers-88 bomber had already flown over.

"Dong Dong," in the corner of the base, an anti-aircraft artillery opened fire violently!

The 20mm anti-aircraft artillery shells flew into the sky and exploded far away from the bomber, blooming black flowers in the sky.

It looks scary, but when you're a real bomber pilot, you won't be afraid of this scenario!

"Bomb!" The bombardier shouted, and with the shout, the hatch inside the belly opened, and a large bomb fell from the bomb bay.

This bomb is very different from other bombs. When it falls, it does not continue to do a flat throwing motion and falls downward, but it is rapidly rotating while it is falling. Small things fell from the ground, as if a goddess scattered flowers.

It seems that there is an indescribable sense of beauty, but the people on the ground do not feel so beautiful. This is a kind of death, a terrible death!

If your eyesight is high enough, you can see that these are small iron balls, but when they landed on the ground, a violent explosion sounded!

"Boom!" A small ball fell onto the runway, and as it landed, a loud noise appeared.

On the ground, a hole was blown out. It was not big, because the power of a small ball was not enough, but when multiple small balls exploded one after another, the entire base was instantly riddled with holes!

It does not lie in the power of a single piece, but in its number, just like an ant, although small, can eat an elephant to the point where only the skeleton is left in a short period of time!

The number is too large!

The anti-aircraft gunners were dumbfounded. They looked up at the sky, and a small ball was coming towards their gun position!

"Boom!" The small round ball actually hit their gun positions! With the explosion, a gunner screamed, and the parts below his thighs were gone!

The other gunner was already terrified. He almost rolled and crawled towards the air defense shelter behind. Although it had been in disrepair for a long time, it should be safer there!

Just when he ran a few steps, he suddenly felt his foot, and it seemed that he stepped on something under his feet!

"Boom!" An explosion sounded from under his feet, he screamed and lost consciousness.

This terrifying weapon, the first time it landed on the battlefield, showed great power!

In later generations, it was called a sub-bomb, or cluster bomb.

Cluster bombs are loaded with several to hundreds of sub-bombs, each with a ball the size of a tennis ball, in a projectile of the same size as a general bomb. After being air-dropped by an aircraft, it decomposes in the air, causing regional damage by spreading sub-bombs to a wide range of ground.

It is a face-killing weapon. The principle of this weapon determines that it is quite suitable for attacking face-shaped targets!

For example, now, when bombing the airport, even if the Junkers-88 carries a few one-ton bombs and throws them down, it is just a few big pits! Afterwards, as long as the big hole in the airport is filled, or even another place can be directly selected, the plane can take off and land.

It can be said that the momentum is huge, but the destructive power is not enough.

But now, this cluster bomb is different.

It can be scattered throughout the airport and around, and the killing area is quite large. Moreover, it has another advantage, that is, the fuze is unreliable.

Now, the bombs dropped by the Junker-88 are each loaded with 836 half-kilogram bullets. Every one explodes, which is very difficult to do.

In the Libyan base, this kind of bomb is being troubled during the development, and it is impossible to guarantee the 100% integrity rate of the fuze, which makes the researchers quite anxious.

As a result, after the report went up, General Cyric gave instructions, why should we ensure a 100% integrity rate? Since it can't be done, it can be done 80%, 60%, or even, as long as more than half of them can explode normally, that's enough!

The researchers at the time were puzzled, but Cyric knew that the true power of cluster bombs was the unexploded ones.

Those unexploded bullets are left in the opponent's base. In this way, the opponent's base is completely scrapped, and it is impossible for them to use it again. In eliminating these unexploded bullets, it will bring huge benefits to the engineers. threat.

In later generations, the use of cluster bombs was banned by international conventions, because this kind of thing is simply a dirty bomb. As long as it is used, it will cause endless troubles. In the future, these places will be useless, not even for civilian use, and no one knows where it is. Will hide bullets that don't explode.

However, now is war, what kind of weapon is easy to use, what kind of weapon is used! Looking at the future, there has been so much clamor, and the United Nations is clamoring every day. However, several big hooligans have not joined the treaty, and have not promised not to use cluster bombs.

Easy to use, low-cost weapon, why not use it?

The air force base here must be completely abolished! Although it is now only a reserve training base, it is likely that fighter jets will be rapidly deployed, which will bring great danger to the German plan!

All dangers are contained in the bud!

"Boom!" A bullet landed on a trainer. These trainers were old biplanes parked on the lawn. Now, as one was hit, the fire spread rapidly!

Three Junkers-88 bombers flew over the airport one after another. When the cluster bombs were dropped, the entire airport fell into a sea of ​​fire!
