Chapter 1477 New York Nightmare (First update, please subscribe)
Those who are good at attacking move above the nine heavens, and those who are good at defending hide under the nine earths.
In fact, this sentence in Sun Tzu's Art of War reveals the future development direction of war. Let's not talk about how Sun Wu saw through the secret thousands of years ago. But since the emergence of airships, people have found that the situation of war has been fundamentally changed.
War has become terrible, even horrible, because of the emergence of airships. In the past, there was a distinction between the front and the rear in war, but the emergence of airships has changed everything. In the new war mode, there is no distinction between the front and the rear, and even no distinction between soldiers and civilians. War has shown its most brutal and naked side - death and terror!
However, although people can imagine the changes that the emergence of airships will bring to warfare, and even imagine the impact that they will have on urban bombing, imagination is always imagination...
At least before this day, no one knew what consequences the bombing would bring.
After taking off from Cuba, nearly two hundred airships flew at an altitude of 6,000 meters for the next ten hours. Although it was daytime, no one would notice their existence in the vast ocean. Even if there were occasional merchant ships flying under the huge airship formation, they would not notice their existence.
After all, the formation was flying too high, and even the sound of the engines was blocked by the sound of waves on the sea.
From early morning to noon, from noon to evening.
As the sun sets and the sea and sky are dyed red by the sunset, the airship formation begins to adjust its course over the ocean east of New York. In more than two hours, they will arrive over New York.
Cheng Kunpeng asked loudly when the coastline came into view.
"Navigator, calculate the bearing!"
The navigator quickly calculated the position of the airship using the longitude table and sextant, and then shouted loudly.
"We are still 100 kilometers away from New York, which is just southwest of us!"
"very good!"
Cheng Kunpeng shouted.
"Bombardier, pay attention to the landmarks!"
Although dusk had already fallen, bombardier Sun Hao was still searching carefully for landmarks. What did New York look like at this time?
It's brightly lit!
New York is a city that never sleeps!
As a prosperous metropolis, this place is a bit similar to Nanhua. Electric lights have long been popularized in thousands of households, and the bright neon lights on the bustling commercial streets are shining brightly.
Red, green, yellow, all the lights come together to make New York a bright pearl in the darkness.
You don't even need to look for it deliberately, just look for the brightest light in the darkness.
In the darkness, New York stands out.
Finally, the criss-crossing streets of New York appeared in Sun Hao's sight. He put his eyes on the bombing sight, slowly adjusted the parameters with his right hand, and half-pressed the bomb button with his left hand.
Staring at the city on the ground, for a moment he even saw pedestrians and vehicles walking on the streets, but of course it was just an illusion.
The temperature in the air was very low, and although his fingers were almost frozen, Sun Hao still twisted the knob a little bit. Feeling his fingers were a little stiff, he moved them a little, and then opened the red safety cover of the bomb button.
At this moment, a special landmark comes into view: the Statue of Liberty - in the dark night, the Statue of Liberty illuminated by searchlights is so eye-catching. This is the first calibration point!
After aiming at the calibration point, the second calibration point, which was the bombing position, soon appeared in his sight. As the target was pressed into the middle of the crosshairs of the sight, Sun Hao began to count down.
Despite the low temperature, sweat still flowed from his forehead, melting the white frost on his eyebrows.
"Enter the target...3...2,1...drop the bomb!"
The moment the voice fell, Zhiwei pressed the bomb button hard!
"Chiu..."
As the bombs whizzed down, the streets of New York were still very busy. The war may have affected the lives of many people, but in New York, most people still drank and danced as usual. For many men, now was the time to hook up with women.
On this seemingly ordinary night, people on the ground were slow to realize what was happening in the sky. Even when the bombs dropped by the bomber planes were falling and the bombs were whistling from the sky, cheerful music was still echoing in many dance halls in New York, and men and women were still dancing and drinking there without restraint.
The bombs dropped by the lead airship were not light bombs. In fact, according to military calculations, when bombing a city, the damage caused by bombs below 100 kilograms to reinforced concrete buildings is very limited. Therefore, the lead airship dropped 500-kilogram high-explosive bombs. The violent explosion of the heavy high-explosive bomb can not only destroy the building, but the smoke cloud it raises during the explosion can also serve as an indicator of the target. The group of airships following behind will use this as an indicator to drop bombs in turn.
The bombs that were free-falling in the air roared down to the ground, tearing through the darkness at an extremely fast speed. They landed on a building next to the street with a bang. In an instant, a huge shock wave mixed with countless steel fragments swept across the earth like a whirlwind, knocking over a large number of passers-by on the street. In the violent explosion, the building collapsed with a bang. At the moment of collapse, not only the pedestrians on the road were buried alive, but also the people in the building. At the same time as the building collapsed, billowing smoke and dust filled the entire street. Before people could react, several more bombs fell on both sides of the street. In the violent explosion, the ground seemed to be shaking.
What's going on?
In the violent explosion, the people of New York did not react for a while. By the time they reacted, more bombs continued to fall from the sky.
“Chirp…Chirp…”
Amid the whistling of bombs, violent explosions turned tall buildings into ruins. In the smoke that covered the sky, people on the streets screamed in fear and ran wildly, but they had no idea where to run.
Only a very small number of people know to run towards open areas like Central Park. Of course, some people also run towards the subway station. Compared to other places, the subway station may be the best choice.
The people who had been reveling there before were now crying and shouting in fear. It was easy for people to be knocked to the ground by others while running. The women who were pursued by the men a few minutes ago became an ignored burden in the crowd. When they were knocked down, the women cried and struggled to stand up, but were knocked down again by the running crowd. Then countless legs stepped directly on them, and their delicate bodies were constantly trampled and soon became motionless.
Trampled people could be seen lying on the ground everywhere on the streets. They were groaning in pain, struggling, crying and begging for help, but at this time, no one would rescue them.
After all, bombs continued to fall around them, and in the dark grey smoke clouds rising high, buildings collapsed in violent explosions...
