Chapter 322 Iron Rain Falling from the Sky (First Update, Please Subscribe)
rain!
Rain falling from the sky!
There was almost no sound, just a silent rain!
But the rain still makes some noise!
When Piddy looked up, attracted by the subtle sound, he saw a black dot that went straight into his head.
"puff!"
Only then was there a slight sound. After his head was pierced by the silent "raindrops", Piddy collapsed to the ground, and the lunch box in his hand fell to the ground.
The process was silent, and he didn't even have time to make a sound or scream before he fell down.
And at that moment, he was not the only one who fell down, many others also fell down. Along with the falling raindrops, there were "puff! puff!..." sounds all around, and it seemed that a small storm was blowing in the military camp, and the storm rolled in red "dust".
red!
It's the red color of blood splattering!
Blood drops of varying sizes gathered in the air to form mist and rain.
At the same time, screams rang out in the military camp.
"Pee Dee...Ah!"
With almost no warning, the "raindrops" hit Duke's shoulder and then went through his crotch. Before he could even figure out what was going on, he felt all the strength drained from his whole body.
The moment he screamed and fell, his eyes widened and the confusion in his eyes turned into boundless fear.
In front of his eyes, people who were eating fell down one after another, and in the space between people, streaks of dust several inches high were raised from time to time.
In the dust, he saw a dart falling from the sky and piercing the ground. The next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and lost consciousness...
What's going on?
No one knew that the seemingly lively military camp was filled with screams. Amid the continuous sounds of "Puff! Puff!", one person after another fell down. Some of them were hit on the head by darts, with their brains and blood splattering everywhere, or their bodies were pierced by darts. When they fell to the ground, they had no time to struggle before several darts pierced their bodies.
"What's going on?"
Everyone's heart was filled with doubts. They had no idea what was going on. They just knew it was raining!
It's raining steel!
If it were a Chinese person, he would definitely be surprised as knives were falling from the sky.
How could knives rain from the sky?
No one could tell these Argentine soldiers the answer, but what was certain was that these knives fell from the sky and reaped people's lives wantonly.
"Oh God, please save me..."
Officers and soldiers alike, although they did not know what was happening, they knew that a disaster was imminent. They quickly fell to the ground, hugged their heads, and prayed that the steel rain from the sky would not fall on their heads.
But when they lay down, they became bigger targets. The steel rain, which at most made a slight "whoosh" sound, would penetrate their bodies or limbs the moment it fell. For a moment, the barracks were filled with the screams of the Argentines.
But in just the blink of an eye, this sudden steel rain brought unprecedented death and fear to the military camp.
People are afraid not only because of death, but also because of ignorance.
Where does the deadly steel rain come from?
Nobody knows!
But "rain" falls from the sky!
"It's just like hail. Whoever it hits dies..."
When Major Dulong thought of the hail, his eyes suddenly lit up. So he gritted his teeth and ran to the carriage without hesitation, and got under the carriage. Now he was finally safe!
"Damn it! Quick, quick, get under the carriage..."
Major Dulong, who was lying under the carriage, shouted loudly as he watched his men falling one after another.
The camp in front of him had turned into a hellish scene. The steel rain from the sky had beaten the soldiers into a bloody mess, and the blood had dyed the entire ground red. Several surviving soldiers were dragging their injured bodies, wailing, and desperately crawling towards him.
However, he had only climbed a few steps when he was hit by a rain of steel and fell to the ground.
"puff!"
Suddenly, Major Dulong felt a black shadow passing by his eyes and then hit the wheel.
What's this?
What came into view was a steel sheet about four or five centimeters long, the front half of which was sunken into the wooden wheel, and the back half of the steel sheet had a cold metallic luster...
What is this?
While the Argentine soldiers on the ground were enduring the baptism of the "rain of death", at an altitude of 1,200 meters, the cabin of the hovering airship seemed a bit lively.
"No. 11, No. 12, throw..."
Following the shouts of the airship soldiers, two heavy boxes were opened at the same time. The moment the boxes were opened, thousands of steel nails were released.
This steel nail is only 10 cm long and about 7 mm in diameter. The front half is an ordinary round nail, and the back half is a flattened steel sheet. It looks like an improved version of a large nail, but the front tip and the tail are steel sheets forged directly on the nail rod, allowing it to pierce the ground smoothly in accordance with the principles of aerodynamics after being released.
This aerial dart is a new weapon developed by the airship unit itself after many air-to-ground bombing tests. Although the FT3 airship can carry nearly 3 tons of bombs, the deterrent effect of three tons of bombs is very limited in terms of ground attacks.
The effect after dropping dozens of bombs was very mediocre, after all, the accuracy was limited.
In order to enhance the attack power of the airship, the airship soldiers came up with various methods, such as using Gatling machine guns to attack the ground, dropping small bombs weighing several kilograms, and using quantity to make up for accuracy.
But even a small bomb weighing 2 kilograms is very heavy!
What about darts?
So they directly used 4-inch iron nails to modify the aviation dart. Although it weighs only 20 grams, has a simple structure and rough workmanship, its destructive power is equivalent to that of a bullet after being thrown from a height of one thousand meters, and it can easily pierce a soldier's body.
This type of dart is installed in a container can, which is installed in the airship cabin with its mouth facing downward. The airship soldier has a pull rope, which can open the container can and release the dart. The coverage area and coverage density of the dart will vary depending on the size of the container can and the flight altitude of the aircraft.
They once conducted experiments with flocks of sheep. During the test, an airship carried hundreds of thousands of darts, and the darts thrown by them could cover a large area. The darts rained down like rain, penetrated the sheep's bodies, and easily penetrated into the ground. Thousands of the test sheep were killed on the spot.
This was the first time it was used in actual combat. Even the airship soldiers in the air did not know how miserable the situation on the ground was. The Argentine soldiers who were happily gathered together to enjoy lunch were stunned by the sudden steel rain.
There was no sound after the dart was dropped. One could only hear the "swoosh" or "puff" sound of the dart hitting an object when it landed. Only a very few lucky ones managed to hide under the carriage, but most soldiers just let it fall from the sky in the open space without any shelter. In the end, the desperate soldiers could only lie flat on the ground, leaving everything to fate...
But lying on the ground like this would only increase their area and the chance of being hit. After all, the larger the area, the easier it would be to be hit...
