Chapter 1193 Goblet Nightmare
The Northern Division Command Post in the city of Blagoveshchensk.
As time went on, the efforts of the communications battalion gradually showed results. Through continuous monitoring and decoding of enemy signals, the Northern Division had basically determined the location and movement of the enemy's main force. Division Commander Otto marked these key points on the battle map and had a clear plan in mind.
"We have already mastered the enemy's underground network layout," Otto said to the deputy division commander De Lan, "it's time to take action."
Otto made a decision immediately, picked up the communication equipment, and contacted Li Haman, the commander of the 1st Air Division. After a brief conversation, Otto explained the current battle situation and the enemy's defense system in detail to Li Haman.
"Lee Haman, we need air support," Otto said, "The enemy has retreated to underground fortifications, and we need to destroy their underground network."
"Understood," Lee Harman replied on the other end, "What specific plans do you have?"
"We want you to use your Lancaster bombers and drop goblet bunker busters," Otto explained. "These bombs can penetrate the ground and directly destroy the enemy's underground facilities."
Li Haman pondered for a moment, then agreed: "Okay, we will arrange the bombing mission as soon as possible. Please provide the target coordinates, and we will strike accurately."
Otto quickly transmitted the key locations and coordinates of the enemy's underground network to Lee Harman, ensuring that the Air Force could carry out its mission accurately.
"Thank you, Lee Harman," Otto said. "This operation is of vital importance to us."
"You're welcome," Lee Harman replied, "We will do our best to ensure the success of the mission."
First Air Division Base, on the runway.
After receiving Otto's request, Division Commander Lee Hamman quickly issued an order to mobilize a Lancaster bomber formation to prepare for this critical mission.
"Attention everyone," Lee Hamman gave orders via radio in the control tower, "The target is the enemy's underground network in the city of Blagoveshchensk, the mission code name is: Dawn."
Inside the hangar, ground crews were busy making final checks and preparations for the Lancaster bomber. Goblet bunker-buster bombs weighing several tons were carefully loaded into the bomber's bomb bay. These giant bombs were designed specifically to destroy underground targets and could penetrate thick layers of the ground to directly destroy enemy underground facilities.
"The inspection is complete," a ground crew member reported to the captain, "all bombs have been loaded and the plane is in good condition."
"Very good," the captain nodded, "Ready to take off."
Following the order, the Lancaster bomber formation slid out of the hangar one by one and slowly headed for the runway. The roar of the huge four engines resounded throughout the base, and the propellers under the wings spun rapidly, driving the huge fuselage to gradually accelerate.
"Formation One, ready to take off," the navigator reported over the radio.
"Clearance for takeoff," the tower controller responded.
At the end of the runway, the navigator pushed the stick to accelerate, and the Lancaster bomber slid quickly on the runway, with the fuselage shaking slightly. As the speed increased, the nose slowly lifted, the huge wings cut through the air, and the bomber rose steadily into the sky.
"Formation No. 34, prepare for takeoff," and another Lancaster following closely behind also began to accelerate and took off one after another.
In the blue sky, the Lancaster formation quickly assembled and flew to the target area according to the scheduled route. Inside the cabin, the crew members performed their duties and carried out the final pre-flight inspection in a tense and orderly manner.
&34;Target coordinates confirmed,&34;Navigator reporting,&34;Estimated time of arrival, thirty minutes.&34;
In this air operation, the Lancaster formation was tasked with destroying the enemy's underground network. Their mission would pave the way for the victory of the ground forces.
A formation of Lancaster bombers over Blagoveshchensk.
After a period of flight, the Lancaster formation finally arrived over the city of Blagoveshchensk. Inside the cabin, the navigator carefully checked the map and coordinates to ensure the accuracy of the bombing.
&34;Target area reached,&34; the navigator reported over the radio,&34;prepare to drop bombs.&34;
Inside the cockpit, the bombardier stared at the sight, his finger gently on the bomb button. The captain gave the final instructions through the headset: "Attention everyone, drop the goblet bomb according to the coordinates."
As the order was given, the bomber formations entered the bombing route one by one. The bombardier in the cabin adjusted the sight and aimed the crosshairs at the target area on the ground.
"Target locked," the bombardier whispered, "bomb ready."
At the captain's command, the bombardier decisively pressed the button. The bomb bay door on the belly of the aircraft slowly opened, and the highball bunker buster weighing several tons slid out of the cabin and hit the ground with huge inertia.
"The first plane has finished dropping its bombs," the navigator reported, "continue to maintain the route."
The bombers following closely behind dropped bombs one after another. The huge bombs drew arcs in the air and fell accurately into the enemy's underground network.
Over the city of Blagoveshchensk, a formation of Lancaster bombers accurately dropped goblet bunker-buster bombs.
This bomb is specially designed to destroy solid underground targets. It weighs several tons and can penetrate thick formations and directly destroy underground facilities.
When the first goblet bomb touched the ground, the huge impact force instantly tore the surface apart. The tip of the bomb was like a huge drill, quickly penetrating the ground and going deep underground. Then, the fuse inside the bomb was triggered, and the explosive force generated was violently released in the underground space.
The shock wave generated by the explosion spread through the underground tunnel at an extremely fast speed. Wherever it went, the solid concrete walls were instantly shattered and the steel bars twisted and broke. The air in the underground fortifications was quickly compressed, forming an invisible huge wave that swept everything. The lights in the tunnel went out instantly, and the entire underground network fell into darkness.
On the ground, the power of the explosion was equally astonishing. A huge deep pit was blown out of the ground, and the surrounding buildings shook violently under the impact of the explosion. The window glass was shattered and cracks appeared in the walls. Thick smoke and dust rose into the sky, covering the sky and the sun. The whole area seemed to be hit by a small earthquake.
As more goblet bombs fell, the enemy's underground network suffered a devastating blow. The carefully constructed fortifications were vulnerable to the power of the bombs, the passages were blown apart, and the bunkers were completely destroyed. The underground storage materials and ammunition depots triggered a chain reaction in the explosion, and the secondary explosions further exacerbated the damage.
In the underground fortifications, the enemy soldiers were stunned by the sudden explosion. Many people were buried by the collapsed walls and flying debris before they could react. The survivors groped in the dark and tried to escape, but the passages around them had been blown beyond recognition, the exits were blocked, and the escape route was completely cut off.
The power of the goblet bomb lies not only in its direct destructive power, but also in the huge blow to the enemy's morale. The soldiers who originally thought they could rely on underground fortifications to resist completely lost confidence in this fierce air raid. The command system was destroyed, communications were interrupted, and the entire defense line fell into chaos.
On the ground, the soldiers of the Northern Division witnessed the devastation caused by the air raid and their morale was boosted.
The devastating blow brought by the goblet bomb completely undermined the enemy's will to resist and paved the way for the victory of the Northern Division.
