Chapter 896 Iron Rain and Blood Rain (3rd update, please subscribe)
Since the Civil War, the way of war has been changing. Mortars and machine guns have replaced infantry lines, but what is the real change?
airship!
In the 1870s and 1880s, no matter how you describe it, it is not an exaggeration. In that era, airships were the most powerful weapons in the world!
And it all began...on October 11, 1876.
It was on this day that the Ming Dynasty's airship force appeared on this land in an epoch-making way. For the Brazilians in the military camp, they didn't even have any reaction when the airship was in the air.
The white soldiers were either bragging or chatting in the corridor or playing cards. They were not aware of any danger at all. Even the air defense observers on the watchtower did not notice anything unusual in the sky.
sound!
Before the airship arrives, there must first be sound.
But what about now?
The airships arrived quietly, and when they dropped from the sky, people on the ground even thought that "the sky was falling"!
The sky has indeed fallen!
When the 72 airships of the Fifth Floating Force descended rapidly through exhaust as if falling, it was like the sky was falling, and they fell straight into the training camp. When they began to "fall", the people on the ground did not react at all.
At an altitude of less than one thousand meters, as the bombardier pressed the button, the bombs carried in the cabin fell like raindrops. Before falling, the pull rings on the bomb heads were torn off by the fixed cloth strips under the action of gravity. The bombs whizzed down from the sky, and after a few seconds, the bombs exploded in the air. In an instant, the bombs scattered like raindrops.
After six years of development, the simple cluster bombs have become increasingly mature. The timed fuse will explode the bomb box at a height of about 100 meters from the ground. The cylindrical bombs weighing only one kilogram may seem small, but they are extremely powerful. The prefabricated fragments carved into the steel shell will produce thousands of 10 mm diamond-shaped fragments.
Everything happened in an instant. Before the nearly 50,000 soldiers in the barracks could react, hundreds of cluster bombs whizzed in. While they were still confused and puzzled, the bombs exploded in the air. Nearly 100,000 small bombs came like a rainstorm, almost covering the entire training ground.
“Damn it…”
It was only then that the people on the ground realized what had happened, but it was too late. Before they could even escape, violent explosions rang out like machine gun fire.
At the moment of landing, tens of thousands of bombs exploded within a few seconds. Compared with ordinary aerial bombs, its explosion was far from earth-shattering, but at the moment of the explosion, tens of thousands of acres of training camp were completely enveloped in a sea of fire. The smoke from the explosion instantly swallowed up the sky and the earth, and in the violent explosion, countless diamond-shaped fragments whizzed in and knocked everything around to the ground.
The huge groups of soldiers on the training ground were enveloped in a sea of fire. They were blown into the sky and their bodies were torn to pieces by shrapnel. The simple straw huts were shattered and set on fire. The wooden houses were also destroyed in the explosion. The sudden air strike also destroyed the arsenal. Compared with the explosion of the bomb, the explosion of the arsenal seemed to be louder, but at this time, no one cared about anything anymore.
it's all over!
The war ended at this moment!
For Bryan, MacArthur and others on the airship, they just stood there, staring at the ground in amazement. They witnessed the destruction with their own eyes!
This was destruction in the true sense, because just a few seconds ago, the military camp on the ground was still intact, but what about now?
Everything is destroyed!
Black smoke enveloped the tens of thousands of acres of training camp. In this camp, the people who were originally training there were almost turned into limbs. The red land was red everywhere.
It's blood!
It was the blood flowing from people's bodies. At this time, there were no black or white people. The bodies were hit by bomb fragments and shattered. In the pool of blood, there were countless corpses with broken arms and legs like dolphins. They were corpses, not wounded. There were not even many wounded at all.
Countless people just stood there blankly, allowing the violent explosion to blow them into the sky, and allowing the shrapnel as big as ten points to tear their bodies into pieces.
Everything was silent. Even after the first round of bombing was over, some lucky people on the ground were still looking around blankly and asked.
"What happened? Did the arsenal explode?"
Even until now, they still haven't figured out what happened. They didn't even know the airship was coming...
Didn't know about the air raid.
It was a silent death, just like the god of death suddenly came to the world and took away everyone's life without distinction.
There were absolutely no signs.
Blood!
There's blood everywhere!
In Noah's eyes, the sky and the earth turned bloody. He didn't know what had happened. He didn't even know how he survived. He only remembered that he fell down in the shock wave of the explosion. Then what?
He heard an explosion, and then no other sound. Even now he still can't hear any sound. What on earth happened?
"Roger!"
Once again, Noah shouted:
"Roger!"
No one responded. All around him, there were laughter, crying, and desperate shouts. Among all of this, the laughter was the most frightening. What did the laughter of those people kneeling and standing in a pool of blood sound like?
It's like the laughter of evil spirits. Why are they laughing?
No one knew that, in fact, Noah could not hear any sound. He was walking in flesh and blood. There were corpses and body fragments everywhere in front of him. On a tree that was blown down, there was half a corpse hanging.
The upper half of the body flew to God only knew where.
The most tragic scene was the training ground of the training camp - there were many corpses lying in all directions, even like sugarcanes in a plantation, piled up on the ground. The injured people were crying in pain in a pool of blood, and there were human legs, arms and tattered clothes everywhere. The ground was covered with white brains, intestines and blood.
There were only a few survivors still crying and screaming heart-wrenchingly. The wounded who had lost their arms or thighs were struggling in a pool of blood and soon died.
