Chapter 747: A Goblet
When the Nujiao bomber formation flew through the clouds at a thunderous speed and reached an altitude of 6000 meters, the entire formation seemed to be the messenger of death in the night sky, carrying a destructive force that could change the battlefield situation. With the precise operation of the pilots, one goblet bomb after another slowly slid out from under the belly of the aircraft. Like released giant beasts, they pierced the sky with a piercing whistle and headed straight for the heart of Kashima City.
Each of the 32 goblet bombs weighed 5,443 kilograms and was the messenger of destruction and death. These bombs were slender, with tails as long as 6.4 meters, like huge silver arrows pointing straight to the sky.
Their maximum diameter reaches 0.965 meters, and their huge bodies are filled with 2,359 kilograms of aluminum powder mixed with D1 explosives. This type of explosive is known for its extremely high explosion efficiency and fragmentation effect. Once detonated, it will produce unimaginable destructive power.
Although it is difficult for the highball bombs dropped from such a height to achieve the same precision as ground artillery fire, it is this "blind" throwing method that gives them the ability to cover a wider area and hit more targets. When these bombs begin to fall, their speed gradually increases, and gravity and potential energy continue to accumulate until they reach a heart-pounding level.
Finally, the first bomb hit the ground. With a deafening roar, the entire city of Kashima seemed to be shaken by this force. The shock wave generated by the explosion instantly swept around, and the buildings were shaky under the impact of the shock wave, and glass fragments flew everywhere. Then, there was a dance of flames and thick smoke, and the high temperature and flames devoured all combustibles.
As subsequent bombs fell one after another, the entire city of Kashima fell into chaos and destruction. Explosions were heard one after another, flames shot up into the sky, and thick smoke billowed. High-rise buildings collapsed in the explosions, streets were engulfed in flames, and countless lives were wiped out in an instant. The aluminum powder mixed with D1 explosives filled in the goblet bomb produced a huge fragmentation effect when it exploded, cutting everything around it into pieces, forming a piece of shocking ruins.
The disaster caused by 32 goblet bombs was so destructive and had such a wide range of impact that it far exceeded everyone's imagination.
In a hidden area of Kashima City, a huge semi-underground air defense fortification was once a defensive fortress that the Fuso army was proud of. However, in front of the goblet bombs dropped by the angry dragon bomber formation, this sturdy fortification seemed so fragile.
As a goblet bomb streaked through the night sky and accurately hit the top of the fortification, the entire earth seemed to tremble. The bomb did not explode immediately, but used its unique ability to drill into the ground to penetrate several meters of concrete and steel structures and penetrate deep into the fortification. In this process, the huge kinetic energy was converted into heat energy and impact force, and the fortification structures along the way were torn and shattered, emitting waves of twisted metal wails.
Finally, when the bomb reached the predetermined depth, the aluminum powder-D1 explosive inside was detonated. At this moment, the entire fortification seemed to be hit by a small nuclear bomb, and the energy generated by the explosion expanded outward at geometric multiples. High-temperature and high-pressure gas and metal fragments raged like a storm, completely destroying every corner of the fortification. Walls collapsed, ceilings fell, and all solid defenses seemed so vulnerable in the face of the explosion.
As the subsequent goblet bombs continued to hit, the entire fortification began to crumble, and finally collapsed, turning into ruins. Dust and smoke filled the air, blocking out the sun and making it difficult to tell the direction. In this chaos and clamor, the screams and cries for help of countless Fuso soldiers were drowned out by the roar of the explosion. They were buried alive in the underground fortifications, facing the threat of despair and death.
The earth-penetrating properties of the goblet bomb were fully demonstrated at this moment. Not only could it penetrate the thick protective layer and hit the enemy's heart, it could also cause a devastating blow to all the enemy's underground fortifications. In this brutal battle, the Fuso army's underground defense system was completely destroyed, and countless soldiers' lives were lost.
When the aftermath of the explosion gradually subsided, the scene before people's eyes was shocking. On the ruins, only charred steel and broken concrete blocks told of the fierceness and cruelty of the battle. And those soldiers who were buried alive in the underground fortifications became the most tragic victims of this war.
As the Nujiao bomber formation completed that round of devastating bombing, Kashima City seemed to be wiped off the map, and completely turned into a living hell. Each of the 32 goblet bombs was like the whisper of death, carrying endless destructive power, and mercilessly bombarding the city.
The explosions were deafening like thunder, echoing in every corner of Kashima City. The flames shot up into the sky, dyeing the night sky blood red. Mushroom clouds rose into the sky one after another, a symbol of death, slowly spreading in the night sky, like the sigh of death, announcing the end of the city.
Those once indestructible air defense units were instantly shattered under the fierce bombardment of the goblet bombs. The twisting and breaking sounds of steel and the roar of explosions intertwined to form a tragic symphony. The Shinhui air defense system, the defense barrier that the Fuso army was proud of, seemed so vulnerable at this moment. Its collapse marked the complete collapse of Kashima City's defense line.
In the city, buildings collapsed one after another, like dominoes, unable to withstand the destructive force. The former prosperity and bustle, now only ruins and blazing flames remain. On the streets, vehicles were overturned, burned, and merged with the ruins, no longer recognizable.
The soldiers of the Kumamoto Division, who once stood proudly on the battlefield, now fled around like headless flies. They found that even if they hid in an air-raid shelter ten meters underground, they could not escape the clutches of the goblet bomb. The bomb's ability to drill into the ground made the underground fortifications useless, and the soldiers could only wait in despair for the judgment of fate.
What was even more shocking was that on the main roads in the city, there were five or six shell craters with a depth of 15 meters and a diameter of about 80 meters. These huge holes seemed like scars on the earth, telling of the cruelty and ruthlessness of war. The ground was cracked and broken, with potholes everywhere, and the entire Kashima City seemed to be torn to pieces by an invisible giant hand.
