Chapter 705: The Terrifying Goblet Bomb That Blows Up Red Rock Mountain
Under the precise command of Major Zhao, the bomber formation quickly adjusted its posture like a group of falcons ready to take off, and moved forward at full speed towards the predetermined target. In the night sky, their roars gathered into an unstoppable force.
"Bomber formation, everyone, pay attention. We are about to enter enemy territory. Please ensure that the navigation system is accurate. The flight altitude and speed must be strictly carried out according to the predetermined plan." Major Zhao's voice spread throughout the formation through the radio channel.
On the ground, although there were still some anti-aircraft firepower units on the Fuso side, under the effective suppression of the Cheetah formation, these firepower had become insignificant and could hardly pose a substantial threat to the bomber formation. However, Major Zhao did not take it lightly, as he knew that in war, any negligence could have fatal consequences.
"Stay highly vigilant and be careful to avoid possible anti-aircraft fire points. Although the threat we face is not great, we must never take it lightly. We must complete our mission at the lowest cost." Major Zhao reminded again, his words full of concern for the pilots' safety and desire for the mission's success.
As the bomber formation gradually approached the target area, Major Zhao began to prepare to issue a bombing order. He stared at the radar image on the display in front of him and kept in close contact with the Cheetah formation to ensure that the air cover was foolproof.
"Bomber formation, enter the final attack phase. Please confirm the bombing settings again and prepare to carry out the bombing mission according to the predetermined plan."
The pilots responded quickly, holding the joystick tightly, their eyes flashing with determination and perseverance. Under the guidance of the radar and navigation system, they accurately aimed the bombers at the target area. With Major Zhao's order: "Drop the bombs!" Several bombs almost simultaneously broke away from the belly of the bomber formation, leaving tracks that cut through the night sky and headed straight for the target.
The goblet bombs dropped by the bomber formation weigh several tons each. Such weight not only gives them powerful kinetic impact, but also enables them to easily penetrate multiple layers of fortifications during free fall.
The design of the goblet bomb is often an elongated cylindrical shape, up to several meters in length and about one meter in diameter. This design helps to optimize aerodynamic performance while ensuring the stability of the bomb when penetrating the target.
The amount of explosives packed into each goblet bomb is key to its power. These bombs are loaded with high explosives, which can account for a significant proportion of the total bomb weight, more than a ton. Such a huge amount of gunpowder, once detonated, will release devastating energy.
When the goblet bomb is accurately dropped over the target and detonated, its power is unimaginable. The huge explosion energy is released instantly, forming a strong shock wave that is enough to destroy all surrounding buildings and fortifications. At the same time, the debris and high-temperature and high-pressure gas produced by the explosion will spread all around, causing heavy damage to the living forces in the target area.
More importantly, the goblet bomb's penetrating power is its unique feature. Even if the target is protected by multiple layers of solid materials such as concrete and steel, the goblet bomb can easily penetrate these protective layers with its huge kinetic energy and sharp head design, directly hitting and destroying key facilities inside the target.
As the bomber formation roared across the sky, dozens of goblet bombs were dropped accurately in every corner of the Red Rock Mountain area like messengers of death. This once indestructible line of defense, at this moment, ushered in an unprecedented catastrophe.
The trenches at the front were the first to be hit. These were natural barriers for the soldiers to hide in, but now they became targets for the goblet bombs. When the first bomb streaked through the sky and fell with a deafening roar, the entire position seemed to be lifted up by an invisible hand. At the moment of the explosion, flames shot up into the sky, and dust and gravel were swept up by the huge shock wave, forming a dust fog that covered the sky.
The trenches were blown to pieces, the original terrain structure was gone, and only a mess remained between the gullies. Some of the soldiers hiding in the trenches were directly swallowed by the explosion, while others fled in the chaos, looking for a new way to survive.
Then, the shadow of the high-heeled bomb covered the concrete bunker. These bunkers were once the strongest fortifications in the Red Rock Mountain area, and the thick concrete walls seemed to be able to withstand all attacks. However, in front of the high-heeled bomb, even the strongest defense seemed so fragile. With the bomb's precise hit, a large hole was first blown up on the top of the bunker, followed by the collapse of the wall and the violent vibration inside.
The huge energy generated by the explosion quickly penetrated the concrete layer, triggering a series of chain reactions, and the entire bunker was instantly turned into a sea of fire and ruins. The soldiers who stayed in the bunker may have been swallowed up by the impact of the explosion or surrounded by the raging fire before they could react, and the fire of life was extinguished in despair.
The mountain air-raid shelters of Hongyan Mountain, which were once considered foolproof shelters, were not spared from the bombing of the goblet bombs. The bombs penetrated the surface of the mountain and hit the inside of the air-raid shelters. With a series of explosions, the top and side walls of the air-raid shelters began to collapse, and rubble and soil poured into the caves like a flood.
The soldiers who were seeking shelter in the air-raid shelters were frightened by the sudden disaster and were desperately shouting and struggling to escape from the place that was about to become a death trap. However, in the face of the collapsed rubble and soil, human power seemed so small and powerless.
The entire Hongyan Mountain area seemed to have been paused at this moment, and all life activities were suspended in the explosion and destruction. The air was filled with thick smoke and the smell of burning, and everywhere in sight were broken walls and ruins.
Those once impregnable fortifications have now become ruins; those once vibrant life forms have now turned into cold corpses. The entire area seems to have been swallowed up by an invisible force and turned into a dead wasteland.
With the continuous bombing of the goblet bombs, the Hongyan Mountain area seemed to have experienced an unprecedented natural disaster, and the horrific scene was heart-wrenching.
Every bomb that landed was accompanied by a deafening explosion, an ultimate display of power and destruction.
The rocks of the mountain became brittle under the shock wave of the explosion, and huge cracks spread rapidly like spider webs, as if nature was tearing its own skin in anger.
Then, large chunks of rock began to collapse. They rolled and collided, making a deafening sound, like the roar of a giant beast, shaking everyone's heart.
The collapsed rocks raised a cloud of dust, blocking out the sun, and the entire Red Rock Mountain area fell into darkness. The dust and smoke intertwined to form a thick fog, making it difficult to tell the direction, let alone see the scene ahead. In this fog, you can occasionally see flashes of fire, which are the unextinguished flames devouring the remaining ruins, and are also a symbol of death and destruction.
As the collapse continued, the outline of Hongyan Mountain began to become blurred. The originally steep peaks were flattened, and the wide gullies were filled. The entire mountain seemed to have been rubbed by an invisible hand and lost its original shape. Rocks and soil mixed together to form huge landslides. They slid slowly down the hillside, or collapsed suddenly, rushing to the low-lying areas with great force, dragging all life and matter along the way into this vortex of destruction.
Half of Hongyan Mountain was almost completely flattened by this unprecedented bombing, leaving behind only devastation and ruins, as well as the memory of terror that will never be erased.
