Chapter 1478: The Fire Cyclone in New York (Second update, please subscribe)

What was the most deadly thing in the bombing of a city?

It was not the fragments of high-explosive bombs and the destruction of cities.

But a fire!

After all, the damage caused by bomb fragments is only momentary. Even if a house collapses, it will only knock down one building.

But the fire is different!

The burning fire would burn everything. Whether in Buenos Aires or Rio de Janeiro, the Imperial Floating Forces had used incendiary bombs to raze parts of the city to the ground.

And this time, in New York, incendiary bombs were also the first choice for bombing.

When the incendiary bombs fell, the friction between the tail fin and the air made a "chirp...chirp..." sound, and they fell to the ground one by one from an altitude of 6,000 meters. Unlike ordinary bombs, these incendiary bombs filled with napalm, at the moment of landing, were accompanied by a not-too-violent explosion. A fire dragon hundreds of meters long rose into the sky, and the flying napalm blocks were like tongues of fire spewed out by a fire dragon, flying between the streets and buildings. The scattered oil blocks were like meteors that ignited everything around them, further expanding the area of ​​burning.

The people running on the streets were also hit by the flying napalm blocks. The burning oil blocks instantly ignited their bodies. For a moment, the streets were filled with miserable screams.

The napalm that fell on people was like lard, not only sticky but also extremely resistant to burning. Those who had the napalm on their bodies would uncontrollably slap the napalm on their bodies in intense pain, but the more they slapped, the more the fire burned, and their hands also started to burn. Some people even had their entire bodies on fire.

But in just a moment, the streets of New York were filled with burning firemen, and thousands of firemen were screaming and wailing in the flames.

What is Hell?

In the past people had imagined what hell looked like, but now, amidst the miserable wails of the people and the flames rising into the sky, the burning men struggling and running in the flames clearly tell the world what hell is.

“Hell, hell…”

A priest roared in despair, he never thought that one day he would witness such a tragic scene. In front of his eyes, the fire burned more and more fiercely. In the red sea of ​​fire, people were stumbling and running in the sea of ​​fire, and then fell heavily into the sea of ​​fire and turned into part of the flames. People's fat and bodies became fuel in the fire.

Behind him, the majestic church was burning in flames, and finally collapsed under the high temperature of thousands of degrees...

At this moment, what the priest witnessed was hell, the true manifestation of hell on earth.

Thousands of tons of incendiary bombs continued to fall from the sky, and they ignited almost everything on the ground. Although there were many tall buildings in New York, more than half of the city's buildings were still made of wood, wooden buildings, wooden houses, and even brick and stone buildings had wooden floors and even the floor slabs were made of wood. As for cloth curtains, not to mention, they were all flammable materials that would catch fire as soon as they came into contact with fire.

The incendiary bombs ignited almost everything that could be ignited. In the raging flames, the wind blowing from the sea made the fire even more intense. The sea breeze passed through the neat streets of New York. For a moment, New York City seemed to have become a bellows. Its neatly planned streets became wind ducts. The wind helped the fire, turning the entire Lower Manhattan into a sea of ​​fire. Driven by the wind, the fire burned more and more vigorously. The strong wind blew the flames, causing the fire to spread along the streets like a fire dragon.

Driven by the wind, the fire spread rapidly. The wooden houses and the furniture in them were excellent fuel for the fire. When the fire dragon devoured them, they gathered together under the influence of the wind and burned a more vigorous fire.

In just one or two hours, New York City was completely engulfed in flames. At this time, the bombing continued, and the sound of explosions and the flames that soared into the sky mixed together, turning the entire city into hell.

The streets were filled with people screaming for help in panic. Amid the raging fires, the firefighters were still desperately trying to put out the fires. The firefighters fighting the flames were still very diligent in using fire hoses. However, the most effective weapons were the two fireboats on the Hudson River. With the help of the fire hoses sprayed by the fireboats, the fire near the port area was under control to some extent.

But in more areas, many firefighters were finally forced to give up trying to put out the fire. After all, the fire burned more and more fiercely, and the raging fire formed hot air waves that blended with the cold air blowing from the sea, forming strong convection winds. This convection wind was extremely strong. Not only was the wind speed at level 7 or 8, but the wind temperature was also very high, reaching hundreds or even thousands of degrees. The high temperature turned the streets of New York City into air fryers, and the hot air ignited almost everything. At the same time, many people running in it were like falling into a hot air oven. As their clothes were ignited, their skin and flesh quickly cracked, and then grease burst out. People and wood all spontaneously combusted in such high temperature hot air!

Because of the high wind speed, many 50 kg incendiary bombs were blown far away when they fell. After they exploded on the ground, the burning napalm was blown away by the hot wind into thousands of tiny fire snakes. These fire snakes seemed insignificant, but they could ignite everything they passed. They were raging everywhere in New York City, making the fire burn more and more vigorously.

Soon, the city completely disappeared, and what appeared before people was a raging sea of ​​fire!

The sea of ​​fire almost devoured everything. The city that once never slept, at this moment, truly became a city that never sleeps, like a huge torch, burning fiercely. Everything here was burning - high-rise buildings, houses and people.

The hot wind in the sea of ​​fire and the cold wind blowing from the surrounding areas intersected and collided in the sky above the city. Their collision eventually turned into a deadly heat cyclone, which was the most deadly storm. When the heat cyclone was formed, the wind speed had exceeded level ten. The rising flames formed a vertical vortex. A giant fire dragon suddenly rose from the ground and soared into the sky. The deadly fire cyclone almost swallowed up everything. This fire dragon of more than a thousand meters was dancing in the sky above New York under the influence of the wind.

In the flames, seemingly majestic high-rise buildings collapsed one after another. The steel bars of those reinforced concrete buildings melted and softened under the extremely high temperature, and the majestic buildings fell down.

In the next few hours, the burning city seemed to be trampled by a giant. One tall building after another collapsed in the flames like fragile toys.

This was actually a good thing, at least with the collapse of the building, the flames in that area were much smaller. However, for New York, such "help" was simply not worth mentioning. New York continued to burn that night, and even after the bombing ended, the flames showed no signs of stopping. It was not until the next morning that the violent fire whirlwind stopped, but the fire still enveloped New York.
