Chapter 872: The Real Braised Oven Roast Duck
As the situation on the battlefield gradually became clear, Lin Qiang sat in the command cabin, his eyes sharp, staring closely at every dynamic change on the tactical display screen.
Although the ground forces were in chaos, the real threat - the underground fortifications where Chuichi Nagumo was located - had not been completely destroyed.
"Storm Formation, continue to clear ground targets and make sure no one slips through the net." Lin Qiang's steady and powerful voice was clearly conveyed to every pilot of the Storm Formation through the communication equipment.
Upon hearing this, the pilots of the Storm Formation immediately adjusted their flight attitude and continued to carry out precise strikes on the enemy on the ground. They took advantage of the superior performance of the Stuka bombers, constantly changing tactics and formations, and using tactics such as dive bombing and death circles to carry out rounds of bombing on densely populated areas of enemy forces.
Explosions rang out one after another, flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire battlefield as if it were daytime.
At the same time, Lin Qiang turned his attention to the area where the underground fortifications were located. "Tianlong and Griffin formations, prepare to turn, target the underground fortifications, and carry out precision strike missions."
The pilots of the Tianlong and Griffin formations responded quickly. They adjusted their flight routes and approached the area where the underground fortifications were located.
Unlike the Storm formation, they carry earth-penetrating bombs specifically designed to penetrate underground structures. These bombs are designed with advanced technology and can penetrate tens of meters or even deeper underground, causing devastating blows to hidden underground targets.
"Attention all formations, the coordinates have been locked, prepare to drop the bunker-buster bomb." Lin Qiang issued the last command on the communication equipment.
Lin Qiang stared at the tactical display screen and quickly adjusted the communication channel. He issued the final order to the Griffin Formation: "Griffin Formation, prepare to drop the goblet bomb. Target - the dome of the underground fortification. Make sure it collapses with one strike!"
"Griffin formation received, the goblet bomb is ready, waiting for the best time to drop it." The formation leader responded calmly.
Following Lin Qiang's order, the Griffin formation's bomber group quickly adjusted to the optimal bombing height and angle.
"Three, two, one, release!" The leader counted down on the communication channel. With his order, dozens of goblet bombs were released one by one, drawing perfect arcs in the air, like steel behemoths falling from the sky, carrying destructive power, and heading straight for the dome of the underground fortifications.
The goblet bombs hit the ground almost at the same time, and a huge impact force exploded instantly. The dome of the entire underground fortification seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand. Rubble and dust flew all over the sky, exposing the originally safe underground space.
With the precise delivery of the goblet bombs, the entire underground fortifications seemed to have experienced an unprecedented disaster. These specially made heavy bombs, with their unique penetrating power and explosive power, caused a devastating blow to the dome of the underground fortifications.
When the first goblet bomb touched the ground, a powerful impact force spread rapidly along the ground, instantly tearing the solid structure of the dome. With a deafening roar, the surface of the dome began to crack and collapse, and huge stones and rubble were thrown into the air by the blast, and then fell down one after another, covering the surrounding area in dust and smoke.
Then, subsequent goblet bombs followed one after another, and they fell on the dome as densely as raindrops, and each explosion further aggravated the collapse of the fortifications. The cracks on the dome expanded rapidly, and finally formed a series of shocking cracks, like the huge mouth of a giant beast, swallowing everything.
Under the shock wave of the explosion, the supporting structure inside the underground fortifications was also severely damaged. The walls and pillars made of reinforced concrete broke and collapsed one after another, and the entire structure of the fortifications became shaky. The command center, ammunition depot, medical facilities and other important areas originally hidden underground were now completely exposed to the enemy's sight and became an unobstructed target of attack.
Even more serious was that the explosion of the goblet bomb also triggered a chain reaction inside the underground fortifications. Some warehouses that originally stored flammable and explosive items caught fire in the explosion, and the fire quickly spread to the entire fortifications, pushing the already chaotic situation to an even more dangerous edge. With flames soaring into the sky and thick smoke billowing, the entire underground fortifications seemed to have turned into a living hell.
"Tianlong formation, pay attention to receive new instructions. Adjust the route immediately and prepare to drop the Grand Slam bombs, aiming directly at the core area of the underground fortifications. Make sure to completely destroy their combat capability." Lin Qiang's voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of every pilot in the Tianlong formation through the communication equipment. His tone was full of unquestionable determination and desire for victory.
"The Tianlong formation received the message and is adjusting its route to prepare for dropping the Grand Slam bomb." The formation leader responded quickly, his tone revealing his emphasis on the mission and his respect for Lin Qiang's order.
As the order was issued, the Lancaster bombers of the Tianlong formation quickly adjusted their flight posture. Like giant black eagles, they drew graceful arcs in the blue sky and headed straight for the core area of the underground fortifications. These bombers carried heavy Grand Slam bombs, each of which was enough to shake the earth and cause a devastating blow to the target.
"Attention all crews, reach the optimal bombing altitude and begin calibrating the bombing coordinates." The formation leader issued the order again, his voice echoing in the communication channel, reminding every pilot to stay highly focused and vigilant.
Under the precise command of the formation leader, the Lancaster bomber group entered the bombing position one by one. Inside the cabin, the pilots stared at the sights, their fingers tightly gripped the bombing button, ready to release the deadly weapon at any time.
"Three, two, one, drop the bombs!" Following the order from the formation leader, the Grand Slam bombs were dropped one by one like the angry Thor's hammer. They drew beautiful parabolas in the air, and with the smile of death, they headed straight for the core area of the underground fortifications.
The explosion sounded again, this time more violent than any previous one. The explosive force of the Grand Slam bomb instantly tore the ground apart, blowing the core area of the underground fortifications beyond recognition. Flames shot up into the sky, dust flew, and the entire area seemed to have been hit by a huge meteorite, falling into chaos and destruction.
In the underground fortifications, with the continuous explosion of the Grand Slam bombs, the originally dark and depressing space instantly turned into a hell on earth. The shock wave was like an invisible giant hand, tearing everything apart wantonly, dragging the defenseless Fuso soldiers into an inescapable disaster.
Some soldiers were blown away by the shock wave, their bodies like kites with broken strings, drawing desperate arcs in the air, and finally falling heavily on the distant wall or the cold ground, their lives uncertain. Blood gushed out from their wounds, dyeing everything around them red.
More soldiers were unfortunately buried by the collapsed concrete. Some of them might still be trying to find a way to escape, but the ruthless concrete rushed in like a tide and instantly submerged them. Their shouts and struggles were quickly blocked by the heavy concrete, leaving only a dead silence.
The soldiers in the core area of the fortifications suffered unimaginable misery. The explosive force of the Grand Slam bombs almost completely blew them into pieces, and flesh and bones were scattered in the flames of the explosion, turning into the most miserable scene on the battlefield. Their lives came to an abrupt end at that moment, and they did not even have time to experience pain and fear.
In addition, many soldiers died in the sea of fire. The fire caused by the explosion quickly spread throughout the entire fortification, and the raging flames devoured all combustibles. The soldiers trapped in the fire could only let out heart-wrenching wails, but could not escape this purgatory-like torture. Their skin was scorched by the flames, and their clothes turned to ashes in the flames, and finally turned into a veritable "roast duck in a braised oven", the miserable state of which was unbearable to watch.
