After a three-hour long flight, the six B52s were instructed to make a short stop in Tw, which was closest to Vietnam. After refueling, they would continue with the airstrikes.
Tw's geographical location was very special. During the Cold War, it was called an unsinkable aircraft carrier by the US President. The US Army used Bright Moon Island as an important cargo transfer base, be it by air or sea. After 40 minutes of refueling, the B52s quickly reached Vietnam's territorial waters. The aircraft carrier, which had been waiting for a long time, took off two planes to act as guides. Under the guidance of the fighter jets, the B52s quickly found their mission target.
Twenty-one kilometers away from Futian Town, there were many tanks and armored vehicles parked on the Class 4 highway. These were the good stuff that the Allied Forces had obtained from the insurgents. With these superior weapons, the Allied Forces quickly defeated all the obstacles in front of them.
Even though the Allied Forces' morale was high, due to the poor road conditions, their marching speed was still affected.
A Class 4 highway was a feeder highway that connected counties, towns, villages, etc. It was usually suitable for all kinds of vehicles. The typical material was cement stabilized granular material (soil) for the subbase of the road. If conditions weren't met, then lime powder, coal ash, stabilized soil, lime, industrial waste, gravel, or other suitable local materials could also be used. The minimum design thickness should not be less than 15 to 20 centimeters. These were the more common construction methods.
However, in the eyes of NY's steaming government, counterfeiting, and taking kickbacks were the absolute truth. It was already good enough to fill in a few piles of soil and flatten it. It was so easy to build a highway, so it was easy for those country bumpkins! With such a mindset, it wasn't surprising that they cut corners.
It wasn't a problem for humans and ordinary vehicles to walk on it, but it wasn't the same for tanks. Due to their heavy weight, the moment the tank's chain straps pressed against the dirt road, it would leave small uneven pits. In order to deal with such situations, the soldiers had to constantly fill in the road to ensure that the tanks could pass smoothly.
The shrill air-raid sirens suddenly sounded, and the advancing troops began to stir. From afar, they saw six huge aircrafts that looked like passenger planes. Seeing that they weren't like the enemy planes that had appeared in the past, the soldiers gradually let down their guard. Although it looked a little chaotic, the troops began to move forward again.
Everyone cursed softly. They thought that the person who sounded the air-raid siren was misleading them. These planes that looked like passenger planes might just be a few enemy transport planes! However, they were all wrong. Due to their lack of knowledge, they had no idea that there was such a thing as a strategic bomber in the world. (As long as the strategic bomber could refuel in the air, it could last 96 hours in the sky, which was 4 days. Due to the large amount of ammunition it carried, it was different from normal bombers, so the way it was hung was very special. From the most common normal bomb to bomb, bomb, shrapnel … and so on, it had everything.) After the B52s saw the people on the ground and compared them with the headquarters, they began to attack the people on the ground. After the two B52s lowered their altitude, their bellies slowly opened up, revealing rows of heavy bombs hanging from their bellies.
The bombs falling from the sky were like dumplings, oh no! They were falling like rain. After the densely packed bombs fell freely from the sky, they exploded into dazzling flames and smoke on the ground. As the bombs continued to explode, the B52s also kept lowering their altitude.
The people flying the planes seemed to know that the enemy only had weak anti-air capabilities, or rather, none at all. Therefore, they unscrupulously lowered the planes to an altitude of 350 meters. At this altitude, they didn't need to use bomb watchers. They could see all the targets on the ground with just their naked eyes.
Only the two planes in front of them carried out the bombing. The four B52s following behind them didn't even lower their altitude. Perhaps they thought that the bombing target only needed two planes, and it was indeed so. After the B521s flew back and forth twice, the Allied Forces on the ground suffered heavy losses. Due to the high density of the bombing, almost none of the vehicles on the ground managed to escape.
Amidst the deafening explosions, they all turned into piles of scrap metal.
The Allied Forces who didn't have anti-air awareness were unlucky this time. Amidst the continuous explosions, the people on foot quickly disappeared without a trace. Ordinary bombs and bombs were a nightmare for the infantry. Even if they didn't die from the explosions, they would be burned alive by the flames that rose into the air after the bombs exploded. If they didn't die, the cluster bombs that fell from behind would take their lives. After all, the thousands of small steel balls in the cluster bombs were no joke!
The frightened soldiers tried to climb into the tanks and armored vehicles to escape. However, this action ruined their last hope of escape. The bombs that fell from the sky landed on the tanks and killed everyone inside. Some of the tanks that were lucky enough to not be hit were still feeling pleased with themselves. However, they couldn't laugh anymore. This was because the bombs that followed were a large area of burning bombs. Although they couldn't kill the people inside the tanks, the flames that burned everywhere blocked all the exits of the tanks.
As the temperature of the flames rose, everyone in the tanks began to slap the tank's hatch cover. When their hands touched the hatch cover, they were scalded by the high temperature and had to retract their hands. After a series of useless slaps, it didn't take long for the people inside the tanks to lose their lives due to the lack of oxygen due to the high temperature. Some of the unlucky tanks exploded when the burning liquid mixed with the bombs entered their tanks.
