Chapter 244:Bombing the US Mainland

Bombing the United States, which was not difficult for the Red Guards Corps, and the air fortress bombers could start from Hawaii and reach the west coast of the United States to bombard.

But this bombing didn’t really work much.

At present, the Red Guard Corps does not have a high-level guided bomb, and the TV-guided bomb needs a very high optical visibility during the day to have a guiding effect.

The daytime bombing, to face a large number of air defense forces in the United States, television-guided bombs need to be reduced to 6 kilometers below the altitude of bombers, the Americans' radar and fighter aircraft, will easily intercept the bomber.

Such a bombing, just to send a human head, is meaningless.

And if you take a safe high-altitude bombardment, flying above the altitude that American fighters can't reach, you need to fly at least 13,000 kilometers, at this altitude, no anti-aircraft gun and fighter aircraft in the world can intercept.

But a huge problem, this altitude dropped bomb, will be far away from the target of kilometer or even thousands of meters, dropped the bomb, can not accurately hit the need to attack the target.

The actual bombing effect of this bombing is almost zero.

Nevertheless, Fan Yize did not deny Ling Liang's bombing plan for the United States, whether the bombing effect or not, is enough to make the United States homeland no longer safe.

The actual strategic effect is not really to strike any important target on the United States, the only purpose is to tell the United States that your homeland is within the scope of my attack.

The three bomber wing orders immediately sounded the trumpet of departure.

Three batches of bombers from the Hawaiian Islands, three bomber formations, a total of 108 bombers.

The three target cities of the bombing: Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

This is an important three industrial area in the western coastal city of the United States, the United States aircraft manufacturing, emerging industrial concentration areas, more than half of the aircraft in the United States, are made in Seattle and Los Angeles.

A large number of steel smelting, transportation industry, automotive industry, machinery manufacturing, are concentrated in this region.

As mentioned above, with the current bombing capability of the Red Guard Air Force, it is impossible to cause fatal damage to these industries, at most small troubles, to hit morale in the United States, and the hearts and minds of the people.

Three batches of bombers set out, after more than ten hours, in the early morning of western US time, the sky gradually brightened, and the west coast of the United States sounded a harsh air defense alarm.

A U.S. Air Force fighter jet emergency take-off fighter, but when the U.S. fighter group under the guidance of ground radar, came to the correct airspace to intercept the target, all helpless to find that the enemy can indeed see, just on the top of the fighter fleet.

But the current fighter aircraft of the United States can not reach more than 10,000 meters of altitude bomber.

Several American fighters were really reluctant to climb at the limit height and fire towards the sky many times, but in vain, they could not attack the bomber beyond the limit height.

There are two American fighters, also because of the altitude out of control, resulting in mechanical failure of the aircraft, fell to the ground.

The huge bomber fleet completely ignored the Americans jumping up and down, and did not mean to lower the height.

After reaching the target city, open the bombardment directly in the middle of the sky and drop all the missiles carried in one breath.

The dense bomb fell toward the ground city, and the whistling sound of air made people's scalp tingle.

Although the indiscriminate aerial bombs were aimed at the main industrial areas of the three cities, less than one-twentieth of the bombs actually landed in industrial areas, and some of the bombs fell directly on farms in the suburbs, and some bombs fell on the city.

Most of the bombs aimed at the port fell on the sea far away in the bay and in the city, and a few bombs in the port did not cause serious damage, the only result of the battle was a ton of transport ship bad luck, hit by a blockbuster bomb, filled with ammunition and fuel to blow up a large number of facilities in the dock, but also caused hundreds of casualties.

The stray bombs have also destroyed several houses, and it is inevitable that there will be some accidental injuries, which is inevitable.

Seattle, Los Angeles, and San Francisco are all in clutter, and the city is filled with panicked crowds, whistling sirens, fast-moving fire brigades and ambulances.

A large number of journalists rushed to the area of the explosion, and some people filmed the dense black spots returning from the end of the sky.

Over the three cities, a group of American pilots, very angry at the bomb dropped back on the return of the bomber, the pilot all the way to take pictures of the shape of these bombers and the process of bombing.

By noon, a large number of newspapers published reports of air strikes.

Bombers from Hawaii in the Pacific bombed three major cities in the western United States, causing thousands of deaths and injuries, and several factories were shut down and scared.

The newspaper ruthlessly pointed out that at that time, the radar on the west coast of the United States detected the target in advance and quickly took off the fighter to intercept, but the fighter flew at a high altitude and could not attack the bomber at all.

A spokesman for the U.S. military explained that the bombers from Hawaii and the German bombing of British and Soviet bombers, which are advanced strategic bombers that exceed all bombers in the world, not only have an amazing load, but also have a very high range and altitude.

In this regard, the Pentagon also said that it is hoped that the public will not be nervous, in order to avoid being intercepted, this bomber will not dare to drop bombs at a height of less than 10,000 meters, and at a height of 10,000 meters, the bomb does not know where to float, unable to target the ground target.

The U.S. Air Force and major aircraft manufacturers to step up cooperation to develop interception combat aircraft that can fly to intercept enemy bombers at altitudes will certainly not let enemy bombers do anything wrong in the United States.

At a time when the U.S. official explanation was appeasing the people, far away in the White House in Washington, Roosevelt also signed a decree retaliating against the airstrike on the west coast of Hawaii.

The recently established U.S. Army Air Forces quickly deployed the Super Aerial Fortress bomber, which has not even started a test flight.

At the 58th Bomber Wing of the U.S. Army Air Forces, Boeing of the United States has just completed production and ground testing of four B-29 Super-Aerial Fortress bombers, and delivered the first successful flight to the 58th Bomber Wing.

The four bombers carried out equipment inspections, loaded ammunition, added aviation fuel, and Boeing's designers, and repeatedly warned the flight crews of the U.S. Air Force bombers.

In fact, the Super Air Fortress is only in the production phase, and it will take at least a few months before it is put into service with the Air Force, and the test flight will take another day or 20 days to start.

At this time, it went directly to the battlefield, just to show the attitude of the United States.

Super-Aerial Fortress was able to start test production at this time, mainly because of the consequences of Fan Yize's incitement to small wings.

The performance of air fortress bombers in Europe has made the United States pay great attention to the development and production of strategic bombers, and the United States is in the war, in order to change the situation in the European battlefield, the United States needs a bomber that can bomb Berlin.

Super-Aerial Fortress is also accelerating the pace of research and development, although the accident rate is not guaranteed, but it can fly up, it can fly so far, and it can fly high enough.

Therefore, the US Air Force chose this bomber, otherwise it would be a death to send other bombers to Hawaii.

The U.S. Air Force believes that its fighter aircraft can not intercept bombers at altitudes of more than 12,000, and the enemy can intercept this bomber can fly to 10,000 to 12,000 altitudes.

Four Superforts, each carrying a quarter-ton of explosives, loaded with fuel, and each bomber was accompanied by Boeing technicians, who took off from an air base off the west coast of the United States and flew toward Hawaii.

This time, the United States is determined to find out the situation in Hawaii, and then drop the bomb in Hawaii and return home smoothly, which will greatly encourage the hearts and morale of the people at home.

For this reason, even on one of the bombers, there are brave American journalists to follow.

Four U.S. bombers flew at an altitude of 12,000 kilometers and had entered the Pacific Ocean, and everyone on the plane was very nervous.

The navigator quickly calculated the location and speed, and Boeing's random personnel were engrossed in watching the flight data inside the aircraft.

This is a test flight, if the four bombers can be successfully bombed and returned safely, it means that the bomber can already be equipped with troops.

The U.S. military has also placed more than two thousand orders, an unprecedented air purchase, and Boeing is under great pressure.

There is no painted number, the choice is not painted with the U.S. Air Force logo of the bomber, just painted out of protective paint, the cabin, no one is not nervous.

Because no one knows how long this thing can fly safely, and there are maintenance personnel ready to deal with mechanical failures that may occur at any time.

The future is uncertain, everything is unknown.

Fortunately, after four or five hours of flight, the aircraft has always maintained a stable flight, at an altitude of 12,000 kilometers, there is no fault in the pressurized cabin, and the tension that everyone has suspended has gradually slowed down.

"We'll be able to get to Hawaii in two hours."

The pilot came from the voice of the supreme commander of the operation, and the heart that had just been put down was suspended again.

Especially the crew of the 58th Bomber United, the 58th Bomber United, was not the first to deal with Hawaii.

In the past half-month, the 58th Wing, a total of 18 air fort bombers, disappeared after traveling to Hawaii.

Say no to tension, not to be afraid that it is all a lie, but they are all soldiers, unable to refuse their own tasks and orders.

The new bomber does not give them enough security, because no one knows what level of combat and ability the enemy has.

But from the point of view of the enemy having bombers that can fly to an altitude of 15 kilometers, it is not easy to provoke.

“George, do you think this height is really safe?”One of the gunners asked the other a gunner.

Another pointer, George, looked at the airspace outside the glass, and seemed not very good, saying, "Damn, I'm not God, I know."

"This height is frightening, I really hope that the enemy's fighter can't fly up, and then let me aim easily."In the self-defense machine gun under the abdomen of the aircraft, the first machine gunman asked, looked at the height of the paw below, and said expectantly.

“Are you two not afraid?”The only accompanying reporter, hanging his earphones, asked the two conversational machine gunners.

"I'm afraid of what's the use, it's all at this height, I'm going to drop the bomb, hurry home, I miss the bar."George said.

The gunner in the turret also said, "I don't know what's going on in Hawaii, my brother is still in the Marine Corps, I hope he is still alive."

"Don't say that, my wife and son are in Hawaii, and the damn war."Someone in the ear said.

For such chat, no one stopped, so that at least it would not make everyone too nervous because of silence.

“Hopefully soon to go to the beach in Hawaii to see the beauty...” Before the words of George on the top turret were finished, he saw a group of black spots in the distant sky and hurriedly exclaimed: “Damn, find the enemy plane, eleven o’clock, above us...”

The captain and co-pilot in the cockpit also saw a large number of black spots flying in the distance for the first time, and the captain hurried to take up the telescope and exclaim: "Damn, it is a fighter, they fly higher than us."

“Alright to power the Air Force Command, the enemy's fighter intercepts altitude, more than 12,000 kilometers."

"Damn, we'll be dead."George screamed, as the distant fleet was getting nearer, and he hurried to operate the turret, pulling the trigger against the air target that flew in the distance.

The triple-coated turret, two 12.7 mm heavy machine guns spewed out a tongue of fire, but it was of no use at all.

The communicator tried to send back the telegram, but the radio was all so busy that he shouted: "The radio station is not available, this is why the bomber has been losing contact, we must return immediately and report this important problem."

“Return immediately.”The pilot also made a quick decision, but everything was too late.

In the distance, the interceptors quickly came to the bomber, dived down, and the barrage in the sky flew.

“God bless”

The instinctive prayers of the reporters in the cabin, but there was no egg, and the dozens of fighters intercepted by the four bombers were simply sheep entering the wolves, and the result was doomed, and soon they were eaten without leaving even the hair.
