Chapter 341 Thunder God's Stick (First update, please subscribe)
The rising sun casts golden rays of light on the earth. The morning on the grassland is very quiet. On the endless grassland, the long stretches of barbed wire and trenches built of black soil are like wounds on the grassland, leaving black spots on the lush green land.
Near the trenches, bomb craters of varying sizes appeared, dotted the grassland like pockmarks.
Near the trenches, one could even see some corpses, and the air was filled with the stench of dead bodies; these were the Argentines who had died in the shelling.
Although the shelling claimed many lives, fortunately, the heavy artillery of the South Chinese people seemed to have disappeared, and the witch's screams had not been heard for several days.
This is a good thing!
At least everyone doesn’t have to have nightmares anymore!
In the trenches, soldiers holding guns ate a simple breakfast - boiled oatmeal paste. As in the past, this breakfast was the simplest hot breakfast that soldiers could enjoy on the battlefield.
In addition to oatmeal, each soldier had two pieces of bread for breakfast.
"ah!"
After a simple breakfast, an Argentine soldier stood up and stretched as usual. After a night of sleeping on the wooden planks covered with wheat grass, he inevitably felt a little sore all over. After stretching, he stood on the shooting platform as usual and looked out of the fortification through the slits of the shooting holes. What came into view was just the grassland that was no different from the past.
Just for this grassland, countless people died.
But who will own the grassland in the end? It certainly won't belong to him. The landlords have already divided up the grassland. How can it be the turn of ordinary people like them?
Just as this thought came to his mind, he heard a little noise.
"Hey, Italian, what's that noise you hear?"
"Sound? What sound?"
"You listen?"
The Italian guy pricked up his ears, listening silently to the sound coming from the air.
What is that sound?
The sound seemed to really come from the sky, but how was this possible?
"It seems like there really was some sound? It seems like... it came from the sky?"
"Heaven, how..."
The next moment, everyone was stunned, because the sound really came from the sky.
“Buzz, buzz…”
The dull sound came slowly from far away. The sudden sound startled everyone. They all raised their heads and looked in the direction where the sound came from. The next moment, everyone - whether officers or soldiers, felt a chill on their backs. Some timid guys felt their crotch loosen and they actually wet their pants!
"airship!"
Although the distance was far, they could still see airships in the sky. More than a dozen spindle-shaped airships were flying in the air.
"Nail, nail..."
In just a moment, all the rumors about the airship and the nails came to their minds.
What a rumor there!
It's absolutely true!
Just when the war broke out, they were baptized by a rain of steel, which claimed the lives of many people.
Since then, the airship has become a nightmare for all of them. But this is the first time they have heard the voice of the devil. In the past, they have only vaguely seen his appearance.
"Quick, get into the bunker, everyone, quick..."
Without any hesitation, the officers pushed the soldiers into the shelters on the side like crazy. Those shelters were not very sturdy, just a layer of wooden boards or arm-thick logs covered with a layer of soil half a meter thick. Although it was very simple, it kept the soldiers away from the threat of "flying nails", provided them with a place to shelter from the wind and rain on the battlefield, and even helped them avoid some artillery fire.
Now that the airships throwing "nails" are coming, what are you waiting for? Of course you hide!
They threw away their lunch boxes recklessly and even their rifles were thrown to the ground. At this time, both the soldiers and officers ran into the bunkers in panic and sat there praying that everything would end as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, as long as we stay here, their nails will be useless!"
Amonto stood at the entrance of the fortification, took out the wooden board of the ammunition box with a smile, and made a bet with everyone.
"I'll bet you a peso it can take a dart!"
For these Argentines hiding in the bunkers, past experience told them that as long as they hid in them, there would definitely be no problems.
While the Argentines were hiding in the bunker next to the trench and making bets in a relaxed tone, Wang Xinyue and others on the airship were eagerly observing the situation on the ground through binoculars, their hearts already in their throats - 500 meters!
It is precisely because they fly at a low altitude that people on the ground can not only see clearly, but also hear the sound of the airship's engine when it is flying.
In order to ensure the accuracy of bombing, their current flying altitude is only 500 meters. Although this altitude is the limit of rifle shooting, what if, what if they can hit the target?
God bless you!
Things like God, Buddha, Guanyin, even God, Heavenly Father, and the Virgin Mary were also being chanted in their hearts. After all, everyone knew what would happen if the airship was hit.
In fact, there was no result. The airship has multiple airbags. Even if a few airbags were broken, there would only be a few bullet holes, which would not have a big impact. It would just slowly land on the ground.
Of course, the premise is that there is no fire...
"Oh, Holy Mother Mary..."
Finally, when he saw the empty trenches through the telescope, Wang Xinyue couldn't help but shout loudly.
"They are all hiding, hiding..."
What did they hate the most?
If the Argentines hide in their fortifications, the aerial darts will become useless.
But what about now?
It was just right for those people to hide in the shelters... To the bombs, those shelters were no different from paper ones.
"Prepare!"
Following an order, the bombardier in the bomb bay nervously loosened the canvas belt that secured the bomb. From the open bomb port, cool wind blew into the cabin and onto the faces of the soldiers, who were observing the ground through the bomb port.
The target was getting closer and closer. At an altitude of 500 meters, they could not only see the trenches on the ground, but also the field fortress centered on the city of Trenklauken. It was an earthen bastion-type fortress. Although it looked very simple, it was combined with trenches, artillery batteries, barbed wire and other fortifications to form a defensive fortification that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"No wonder we need such a big thing..."
The monkey patted the giant bomb beside him, pursed his lips, stared at the fortress on the ground, and talked to himself.
"I will beat you to a pulp in a moment..."
As he finished speaking, the captain's voice came from the front of the boat.
"bomb!"
"bomb!"
At the command, the bolt that was holding the bomb was loosened, and the bomb immediately rolled down the slope to the bombing window, and then fell directly down. At the moment the bomb fell, the airship even began to rise suddenly. After getting rid of the "burden" weighing 2,500 kilograms, the airship naturally rose.
Standing at the door of the shelter, Amonto listened to the "buzzing" sound in the air that sounded a bit depressing and even terrifying. However, because of this, he finally saw the airship that had brought them countless deaths and fears.
"This is the airship!"
Looking at the huge spindle-like creature in the sky, Amonto's limited imagination couldn't figure out how it flew into the sky.
"That's the airship!"
People who poked their heads out of the shelter looked at it with amazement and admiration. Even though it brought death and fear, it did not prevent people from looking at it with admiration.
"Be careful, don't..."
Suddenly, in full view of the people, something was thrown out from its belly.
"What is that?"
"stick?"
The nearly four-meter-long bomb fell from the sky like a giant stick.
As soon as the "stick" fell, it made a "hissing" sound, which was the sound of the bomb's tail edge cutting through the air when it rubbed and vibrated with the air.
The whistling bombs brought with them an unprecedented pressure. The sound even made people on the ground tremble with fear. Those hiding in the shelters were all puzzled.
"What's that noise?"
People's doubts did not last long. The next moment, they finally felt a tremor. In the violent explosion, the ground was shaking...
