Warlord: Red Alert Base, I challenge the whole world alone

Just as Yoshito Takagi and his team reacted to the air raid by the P-38 Lightning fighter jets and were preparing to command the troops to evacuate and conduct air defense, they saw dense black spots in the sky.

He was very familiar with this scene.

Once, behind the Andong Defense Line on the Korean Peninsula, the friendly 40th Brigade was subjected to a blanket bombing, resulting in heavy casualties.

His 39th Brigade is in better condition, but the 40th Brigade suffered heavy casualties, so it is still waiting for reinforcements in the port of Goryeo. Currently, only his 39th Brigade has arrived at the island city.

But when the familiar scene appeared in his eyes again, his heart sank to the bottom.

He knew very well how powerful these things were.

Their arrival will be everyone's nightmare.

Yoshito Takagi glanced at the port which was in chaos due to the air raid by the P-38 fighter planes.

There are still his soldiers, weapons, equipment and supplies on these ships in the port, and the number of people unloaded so far is less than that of a regiment.

"It's over!"

This was the first thought that came to his mind.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”

"Chirp!"

The P-38 Lightning heavy fighters launched a fierce air attack on the ships outside the port using the 224 kg bombs and aerial rockets they carried.

The purpose of doing this is naturally to block the port and prevent the ships inside from rushing out.

Because the ships inside are usually loaded with people.

As long as the port is blocked, they will be trapped.

This is also the reason why Gu Zhengyang sent P-38 heavy fighter jets to bomb the port.

A 224kg bomb may not be a big problem for a tough warship, but for a civilian ship without any air defense capability, it is no different from shooting a target.

As for the Fuso escort warships, they are still staying in the open sea of the port, more than 10 nautical miles away from the port.

Having completed their escort mission, they were preparing to head north to join the operation to bomb Donglai City.

"boom...."

A 224-kilogram aerial bomb accurately hit a 1000-ton merchant ship.

The high-explosive bomb exploded violently when it came into contact with the ship's deck.

The powerful force easily tore the deck apart and swept in all directions.

When the flames rushed into the cabin through the exploded hole, the high temperature instantly ignited the infantry guns and mountain artillery shells inside.

As the secondary detonation occurred, the explosion and flames immediately engulfed the entire ship.

Many crew members were evaporated before they could even react.

Soon, the ships outside the entire port were engulfed in flames, while the ships inside were trying to rush out, and the scene became extremely chaotic.

Panic is vividly reflected in this scene.

Although the Fuso army was poisoned by the Bushido spirit and was fearless of death.

But it also depends on the scene.

In land warfare, they were able to launch sudden attacks against machine guns and artillery.

But when faced with air raids, they could do nothing but watch themselves being bombed, which also magnified the fear in their hearts.

"idiot...."

Of course, some Japanese devils were furious and roared to the sky, then raised their Type 38 rifles and shot at the diving lightning fighters.

His counterattack had no effect, and he was even counterattacked by a lightning fighter. Perhaps the target of this lightning fighter was their ship itself.

"Da da da....."

Dense bullets whizzed in, causing a bloody storm on the merchant ship.

The crew members and soldiers who were hit were covered in blood and flesh.

A 12.7mm caliber bullet can't just make a bullet hole. If it hits the torso, it will basically leave a hole the size of a bowl.

If you are hit in the arms or legs, you will definitely not be able to save yourself.

This is what the term "broken limbs" describes.

The P-38 Lightning fighter group completed their mission and successfully blocked the merchant ships responsible for transportation in the port.

The rest was left to the Bomber Aviation Brigade.

They are the real protagonists.

"Boom boom boom..."

When the B-17G bomber group flew over the port, it was met with a fierce counterattack from the Fuso army's air defense forces.

However, their largest caliber anti-aircraft artillery was the 75mm Taisho 11-year type anti-aircraft gun, which was a field gun with an anti-aircraft gun mount replaced.

It was OK when it was first put into service in 22 years, but now it is completely outdated.

The Fuso Army did not lack specially developed anti-aircraft guns, but the 20th Division did not find any on the Korean Peninsula, and the advanced anti-aircraft artillery was only in service in the permanent divisions on the mainland.

The sporadic anti-aircraft fire had no effect on the B-17G bomber group.

At this moment, their altitude has increased from 3000 meters to 4500 meters.

When the lead plane aimed at the dock below where people were moving around, 224 kg M69 napalm bombs fell onto the dock like dumplings.

The 69st Bomber Aviation Brigade had three squadrons. The st Squadron and the rd Squadron at the back carried M napalm bombs, while the nd Squadron carried high-explosive bombs.

Such bombers also have their own requirements.

The first wave used napalm bombs to bomb, using fire attacks to kill as many Fuso people as possible while providing target points for the following troops.

The second wave of high-explosive bombs can use their shock waves to expand the fire.

The third wave of napalm bombs is used to finish off the enemy.

The M69 napalm bomb landed on the ground, the TNT block inside detonated, and a large amount of gelatinous gasoline filling flew around, and then an explosion occurred.

In an instant, the bombed area was engulfed in flames, and the flames, with a temperature of up to 1000 degrees Celsius, engulfed everything around it.

The engulfed crowd was engulfed in flames before they could even scream.

Even if he is not at the center of the fire explosion, as long as his body is touched by the flying gasoline, death will basically be the only thing that awaits him.

Because the characteristic of napalm is that it can stick to the target and burn for a long time. Nothing can extinguish it, and it will continue to burn even if it floats in water.

As the incendiary bombs dropped by the lead aircraft provided targets for the following aircraft, one B-17G bomber after another dropped the napalm bombs they carried.

Suddenly, the sky was filled with densely packed M69 napalm bombs falling in parabolic trajectories.

The entire area in the middle of the dock was engulfed in flames rising into the sky.

The Japanese soldiers in this area let out miserable howls and screams in the flames. Their screams were like ghosts crying, and were extremely miserable.

Some of the napalm bombs did not fall on the dock, but fell into the harbor.

Immediately, several merchant ships carrying personnel were engulfed in flames.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

The Fuso soldiers who were still on the deck were instantly turned into a mass of fire after being stuck in the napalm, and almost no one escaped.

Shrill screams came out of their mouths.

The pain of the flames burning their skin continued to stimulate their nerves until they lost consciousness and were burned to death.

Although the Fuso soldiers staying in the cabin were spared from being burned, the high temperature and toxic gases could still cause casualties to them.

The high temperature of 1000 degrees Celsius can completely burn through the deck and penetrate into the cabin below the deck, so hiding in the cabin is not a good idea.

Only those Fuso soldiers who jumped into the water early had a greater chance of survival.

But that's just a little more hopeful.

Even if napalm bombs fall into water, they will still float on the surface and burn.

So it will still stick to the water unless it is submerged in water for a long time.

As 93 B-17G bombers completed their bombing runs, the entire port was practically engulfed in flames.

Countless Fuso soldiers turned into burning men in the flames.

A second wave of 30 bombers arrived overhead.

The burning area below was the target of their bombs.

Dense high-explosive bombs fell, and in the violent explosion, the shock wave did not extinguish the fire below, but instead expanded the fire and even formed a fire tornado.

More Fuso troops were engulfed in it.

Of course, there were also many people killed or injured in the explosion.

After the 30 bombers left, the third wave of B17 bombers carrying napalm bombs arrived.

More than 100 tons of napalm bombs were dropped again, and this time the covered area was larger. It was no longer limited to the central area of the dock, but both sides were within the throwing range.

Those Fuso people who escaped from the central area did not escape the disaster.

Brigade commander Yoshito Takagi, who had already escaped under the escort of his personnel, stared blankly at the port where flames were rising into the sky, with the raging flames reflected in his eyes.

His eyes were dull and no one knew what he was thinking.

Perhaps he has lost all hope at this moment.

Because under such a large-scale bombing, his 39th Brigade must have been in great danger.

Half an hour later, the second batch of 93 B-17G bombers arrived over the island city port.

Although this place was already in ruins, napalm bombs and high-explosive bombs were still being dropped intensively.

The Red Alert base doesn't have much else, but it has plenty of aerial bombs, and these are not the most powerful ones.

If it weren't for the convenience of using this port later, Jiang Hua wouldn't mind letting them have a taste of the goblet and the Grand Slam.

One is 5 tons and the other is 10 tons, both are specially used to deal with strong fortifications.

The price in the base is not very expensive, he can definitely afford it.

None of the 279 B-17G heavy bombers in three batches were damaged, and the bombing was completed in more than four hours.

The entire island city port was littered with ruins and various debris.

According to post-war statistics, the entire 39th Brigade, with 4700 people, suffered more than casualties in the bombing.

Although the wave of bombers did not take away the entire 39th Brigade, it also made them lose their combat effectiveness.

I am afraid that these soldiers will also be greatly traumatized when they return to the battlefield.

The Fuso Navy's Second Task Force, located in the outer sea area, also stopped moving north. Except for the aircraft carrier Hosho, the rest of the warships headed towards the island city.

Among them were two old Fuso-class battleships.

Their purpose was to rescue the survivors and to drop the Marines they were carrying.

Originally, this Marine Corps was intended to attempt to land in Donglai City, but now it seems the plan has to be canceled.

The island city is their key landing area and must not be lost.
