Transmigrated as the Crown Prince
Chapter 852 Alaska (5)
Washington.
"The aircraft fleet we sent severely damaged the German fleet. As for whether the two aircraft carriers were sunk, it is unclear for the time being." The last news they got was that bombs and mines hit the two aircraft carriers, but unfortunately there was no news after that.
"What about our losses?"
Commander Arnold's face showed an extremely heartbroken expression. "The 720 fighter planes sent out were all wiped out, and there were 1,280 pilots..." It was more than heartbreaking, and my heart was almost bleeding.
The aircraft can be rebuilt after it is gone, but cultivating an excellent pilot is not something that can be accomplished in a day. It requires a lot of time, money, and energy to cultivate, and the most valuable experience cannot be bought with money. Although the United States has a huge reserve of pilots (before the outbreak of World War II, there were already many amateur pilots in the United States, and even many farmers could fly airplanes). When the war broke out, these people could fly on the battlefield with a little training. ), but I can’t help but consume it. Moreover, the pilots who participated in the raid this time were the elite among the elite, and the result was that the entire army was annihilated.
Everyone's face was not very good. More than 700 fighter planes and more than 1,000 pilots were lost. In the end, even the German aircraft carrier was not guaranteed to be sunk. Such a loss ratio was really unaffordable. And this is still a small fleet with only two main aircraft carriers. If they attack a large fleet with four or six ships, how much loss will they have to pay? 1,000 fighter planes or 2,000 fighter planes?
Just when everyone unanimously decided to ban such raids in the future, news came from Alaska that the German attack aircraft group came to bomb the Alaskan coastal fortifications again.
"What's going on? Is the German aircraft carrier intact?!"
"It could also be a German reinforcement fleet."
Unfortunately, it was not the German reinforcement fleet. Although there was indeed a reinforcement fleet, that fleet had just set off from the port on Adak Island and still had more than a thousand kilometers to travel.
The fleet was severely damaged and had to return to the port for repairs, but Colonel Bergmann was so angry that he couldn't swallow his breath and organized a wave of attack formations to head to Alaska before retreating. Although the two aircraft carriers were severely damaged, they were still able to take off and land fighter planes.
Accompanied by the shrill sound of air defense sirens, U.S. soldiers who had built fortifications along the coastline hurriedly hid in nearby underground fortifications.
Groups of German aircraft roared over and dropped bombs one after another on the American defensive positions.
This time they dropped all napalm bombs. 80 A-1 attack aircraft and 70 FW-190T fighter jets dropped more than 300 tons of napalm bombs.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
There were dull explosions one after another. Compared with the explosion of napalm bombs of the same weight, it could be regarded as "whispering". The U.S. soldiers hiding in the underground fortifications also noticed that the explosion this time was much quieter than the last time. The last time the German army dropped a heavy high-explosive bomb, it exploded, shaking the earth and causing the mountains to collapse. Even though they hid in the underground fortifications, they were almost fainted by the explosion outside.
But why is there so little movement this time? It's a huge difference compared to last time. "It seems that the Germans dropped small bombs." A US platoon leader couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. "Such a bomb will not have any impact on us."
At this moment, several soldiers near the entrance to the underground fortifications sniffed. "What does this smell like?" The air was not filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke produced by the explosion of high-explosive bombs, but the pungent smell of burning gasoline.
Suddenly, one of the soldiers seemed to have thought of something, his face suddenly turned extremely pale, and his teeth seemed to be chattering uncontrollably. The movement even shocked the people nearby. "What's wrong with you, Tom?"
"Oh God!!" Tom trembled all over and shouted in horror. "This, this is a German incendiary bomb!"
"What?!" Everyone was shocked. As the saying goes, "If you haven't eaten pork, you haven't seen a pig running." Although it has never been exposed to napalm bombs by the German army before, its reputation is like thunder, with all kinds of added fuel and jealousy. Scary rumors, everyone is very afraid of it.
Although these underground fortifications are relatively strong and can withstand German high-explosive bombs, the space is not very wide. It was already very crowded with more than 30 people in their queue. The space is not spacious. Even in normal times, with so many people crowded into such a small space, everyone feels a little depressed and chest tight, and the oxygen inside seems a bit insufficient.
But now the German army is throwing napalm bombs outside, and the entire nearby position is covered in raging fire. The violent burning flames are rapidly consuming a large amount of nearby oxygen. Naturally, the oxygen in these underground defenses cannot escape.
The oxygen here was quickly drained, and many American soldiers already felt difficulty breathing, and even felt like they were suffocating.
Napalm bombs do not rely on explosions to kill enemies. The horror of napalm lies in the violent combustion and high temperature generated by the combustion. In addition, the violent burning of a large amount of gasoline will also consume a large amount of oxygen. For people hiding in a small space such as underground fortifications, For people, this is completely fatal.
In just a minute or two, many people's faces began to turn blue. They grabbed their necks and tried to suck in some air, but the oxygen here was almost completely consumed. No matter how hard they breathed, they still couldn't get a trace of oxygen, and they just felt that their consciousness was gradually blurring.
In less than ten minutes, everyone in this underground fortification suffocated to death.
And something even more terrifying happened in another underground fortification.
Although the space here is a little larger than other underground fortifications, it is packed with nearly a company of American soldiers, even within a few meters of the entrance.
A napalm bomb accidentally landed at the entrance and exploded. The shock wave of the explosion directly shattered the not-thick entrance door, and the flying sparks stuck to several soldiers not far from the entrance. When these people saw that their bodies were on fire, they instinctively slapped them with their hands to extinguish the flames. But what they didn't know was that the sparks of napalm bombs have a characteristic, that is, no matter how small the flames are, the bigger they are slapped, the bigger they burn. The more prosperous.
In the blink of an eye, these people turned into blazing fire, letting out heart-rending screams and fleeing deeper into the underground fortifications. But the place was already crowded with people, and the more they squeezed in, the more soldiers were caught in the flames.
As the napalm bombs burned at the entrance, the high temperature generated raised the temperature here to a temperature that ordinary people could bear. In addition, a large amount of oxygen was quickly drained. In just a few minutes, everyone in this underground fortification was either burned to death or suffocated to death.
