Chapter 1005 Decapitation Operation (2)
Naturally, there are many anti-aircraft artillery positions deployed around this military base. After receiving the warning from the radar station, the anti-aircraft artillery positions exploded immediately. With the shrill alarm, all soldiers entered their combat positions as quickly as possible; countless anti-aircraft guns were aimed at the direction where the German bombers were about to fly.
"Damn, these Germans won't really come to bomb here?!" Since the 150mm anti-aircraft guns were deployed here, those ME-264D high-altitude bombers have never come here again. But the news from the radar station said that this time it was a jet bomber with a flight altitude of more than 17,000 meters. This made most anti-aircraft gunners anxious, after all, the effective firing height of the 150mm anti-aircraft gun was only 16,000 meters.
"Who knows? Maybe the Germans were just passing by." Many people prayed in their hearts that these damn Germans were really just passing by.
However, the Germans did not let them do as they wished. More than half an hour later, three black spots appeared in the distant sky, slowly getting bigger, and soon a dull roar was heard.
"Ready!"
"Fire!"
"Da da da da da!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Almost at the same time, hundreds of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns nearby opened fire, spraying bullets into the sky crazily. Shells of various calibers continued to explode in the sky, and the entire sky was like a pot of boiling water with bubbles rolling.
But these shells could not cause even a little damage to the bombers flying at an altitude of 17,000 meters. Three B-52 bombers easily flew over the dense barrage below and flew over the base.
"Prepare to drop the bomb! I wonder if I can blow all these guys up." The bombardier pressed the bomb button and mocked.
Next to him was an operator sitting in front of a TV. Because the bomb had to hit the center of the base accurately, the bomb was guided by TV. "I don't know if I can blow them up, but I can definitely blow up all the rats underground."
As the bomb fell, the optical fiber in the belly of the aircraft also fell off quickly. The bomb dropped down and fell directly to the center of the base below under the control of the operator. In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, in addition to the optical fiber guidance, this bunker-buster is also equipped with radio guidance. Once the optical fiber breaks or fails, the radio control can be replaced immediately.
After the bunker-buster's falling trajectory stabilized, the operator pressed another button and ignited the rocket thruster installed at the tail of the bomb.
"Oh my God! What is that?!" The troops on the ground were stunned when they saw the giant bomb falling from the sky!
"Quick, shoot it down!" Someone shouted and shook the handle of the anti-aircraft gun desperately, trying to aim at the huge bomb and fire.
At this time, a cone-shaped cloud appeared behind the bomb body, and the falling speed had exceeded the speed of sound. Under the horrified gaze of the crowd, the bomb with huge kinetic energy hit the concrete ground in the center of the military base fiercely, and the entire bomb body smashed into the ground and disappeared.
When a nuclear bunker-penetrating bomb penetrates rocks or concrete, the bomb body may break due to the huge impact force, and the electronic equipment and nuclear charge inside are easily damaged. Therefore, the shell of the nuclear bunker-penetrating bomb is very strong, with an integral design and few welds. In order to avoid the high temperature burning of the warhead during the drilling process, the shell of the nuclear bunker-penetrating bomb has a heat-resistant coating inside and outside, especially there must be a heat-resistant pad between the shell and the charge. In order to reduce the vibration of the internal device, there is usually a filler inside the bomb body. In addition, the layout of the internal device must ensure that the mass center of the bomb is in an appropriate position to ensure the stability of the trajectory during the drilling process.
All anti-aircraft artillery positions stopped firing, and countless pairs of eyes stared at the big pit that was smashed by the bomb. After a few seconds of silence, a big bag suddenly bulged on the ground in the center of the military base, and countless flames shot out from the cracks everywhere. Then the bulging ground collapsed again, and a huge deep pit appeared.
It is well known that earthquakes are caused by the cracking and dislocation of rocks deep underground, which releases the energy accumulated for a long time in the form of seismic waves and spreads in all directions. The underground nuclear explosion obviously has the characteristic of strong energy release, which is equivalent to an earthquake.
As waves of seismic waves swept in all directions with overwhelming force, various buildings in the base collapsed one after another, and people and horses were also thrown to the ground on the air defense positions in the distance.
On an anti-aircraft artillery position, the American military officer who had finally survived several waves of seismic waves stood up shakily, looking at the messy position, shocked and speechless. Those 150mm caliber big guys were actually overturned by this seismic wave, and many people were crushed into meat patties by these big guys.
"Oh my God!" The officer stumbled around the anti-aircraft gun next to him for a few circles. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and turned his head sharply to look at the base not far away. There was no complete building to be seen there, only ruins and some fires.
"Hurry, save people!" He quickly pulled up a few soldiers who could still move and ran towards the base. He had a bad feeling that the German bombs must be aimed at the senior government officials in the underground fortifications.
A soldier ran behind and said as he ran. "Platoon leader, why are you in such a hurry? Aren't there water, food and air storage down there? I heard that the air alone can last for a week. And the passages leading there are reinforced and can withstand an 8-magnitude earthquake."
"This is not a magnitude 8 earthquake, it is simply a magnitude 10 earthquake!" Of course, no one has ever experienced a magnitude 10 earthquake. The largest earthquake recorded so far is the 1906 Ecuador earthquake: magnitude 8 on the Richter scale, which occurred along the coasts of Ecuador and Colombia.
As for the largest earthquake in later generations, a magnitude 5 earthquake occurred in Chile on May 21, 1960. From this day to May 30, the country was hit by several earthquakes. During the earthquakes, six extinct volcanoes erupted again and three new volcanoes emerged. The magnitude 5 earthquake on May 21 caused the largest tsunami of the 20th century; it was the largest earthquake ever recorded with instruments.
While they were talking, they had already run to the outskirts of the base. They saw that the usually tall walls and locked gates had collapsed, and several of them sighed with lingering fear. "This is too scary. What kind of bomb did the Germans throw?! Did they invent some kind of 'seismic bomb'?"
A soldier grabbed the platoon leader who was about to cross the ruins of the wall and enter the base. "Uh, platoon leader, we don't have a pass. If you break into the base without permission, you will be shot!"
The platoon leader rolled his eyes speechlessly. "What's the point of worrying about the pass at this time? Saving people is more important!"
