Chapter 708 I want to..., breathe!

November 5th, 3 a.m.

The wind is coming from the direction of the Atlantic Ocean. The clear water of Lake Bavanaugh ripples with the wind, and the tall canopy is rustling, blowing away the heat of the day.

At the top of the tall trunk, the incandescent lights emit dazzling light in the night sky. A beam of light can be seen more than ten kilometers away. At other times, this is absolutely not allowed, but tonight is an exception.

In the huge field airport, there was a lot of people. In the case of shortage of aircrew soldiers, even the truck and machine repairers were pulled to help. In the end, even the gendarmerie defending the headquarters took off their coats and joined the busy.

160 Kunpeng bombers, 120 storm attack aircraft, 68 Mustang fighters, and three of the latest air-ground liaison aircraft modified with albatross transport aircraft are making final preparations nervously.

After the guards verified the documents, Yao Ge dragged his tired footsteps and his partners into the airport. In Xinhua's overseas bases, no base is stricter than the air defense. In order to ensure future air hegemony, any aviation technology is listed as a high-level confidentiality, and all ground soldiers signed a confidentiality agreement. Even if you want to export the old falcon, it must be approved by the General Staff and the special military technical committee of the parliament, and the wings and other small details need to be modified.

So there are not only barbed wire, dark sentries and watchtowers here, but also the only armored regiment in the Panama theater. Even the allied officers are not allowed to enter at all. Therefore, most of the high-secret troops directly choose the air base when choosing the station.

Yao Ge rushed into the base with a belly full of anger. For nothing else, just because the bastard didn't say what kind of explosive it was in advance, he dared to stay on his head, almost making the second team "glorious" inexplicably!

But when everyone sees the busy scene of the airport, they not only forgets "revenge", but also are stimulated by the scene in front of them. Only in this era, this kind of world war can see such a scene in the rainforest!

After suffering for eight months, it's finally going to be a tough one!

Several small special ammunition trucks similar to jeeps dragged the bucket to the fleet slowly. The huge black bomb in the bucket was clearly visible, and the parachute bag bulging out of the tail made Yao Ge understand what kind of bomb it was.

Cloud bomb!

In addition to high-secret troops like Yao Ge, more than 90% of the soldiers in China do not understand how terrible this kind of bomb looks like an ordinary bomb. It's just that the warhead is round, the head has a telescopic pole, and the tail is accompanied by an umbrella bag.

This is one of the most drooling air force bombs of Emperor Li. It is also recognized as a conventional weapon second only to nuclear weapons in later generations. It is named for its strong destructive power, a large number of killings and side effects. However, the specific formula of the cloud explosion bomb has troubled Li Mo for several years, because even in the information development era of later generations, its formula is also regarded as a high aircraft. The only thing that can be known is that the cloud bombs in the Vietnam War in later generations are mainly filled with ethylene oxide**.

Fortunately, the researchers are also used to the fragmentary memories of Emperor Li. Although they only know that the working situation after detonation is similar to that of white phosphorus bombs, the cloud explosives will be thrown away and can be mixed into the air to explode violently. It can form an overpressure and temperature field effect on the target, which has a slushing effect and can also consume a lot of explosion points. The air around made the enemy suffocate these simple data, but after nearly ten years, even Zhang Qiang, an expert who invented suffocating biological and chemical weapons, led the team to study together. On the basis of ethylene oxide**, he finally took out the first generation of cloud explosives.

Unlike pure ethylene oxide**, Zhang Qiang also added some other chemical agents, finally synthesized a gel-like cloud explosive, and finally added some magnesium-aluminum thermal agent powder to it to enhance the combustion strength. In the test, the power of this cloud explosive agent is the same weight TN. Nearly three times T!

According to the test, the explosive power of an 800-kilogram "barb" has actually exceeded the air force's largest 1,800-kilogram fat man, with a killing radius of 100 meters. It can form a high-pressure explosive mass in an instant around the explosion point, which can produce a high temperature of 1000℃ to 2000℃, and the high temperature continues. The time is several times higher than that of conventional explosives. At the same time, after the cloud explosive is integrated into the air stroke and the second explosion, it will quickly consume the oxygen in the surrounding space, producing a large amount of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. The oxygen content at the explosion site is less than one-third of the normal content, while the concentration of carbon monoxide greatly exceeds the allowable value, resulting in severe local hypoxia and highly toxic air. Even if they hide in the fortifications, they will be suffocated to death because the air is pumped away, which is why Yao Ge and others almost suffocated.

What Emperor Li couldn't believe was that the price of cloud explosives taken out by Zhang Qiang was only slightly more expensive than that of napalm. Taking this 800-kilogram cloud bomb code-named "Manniu" as an example, the price of each piece was only 900 yuan, and it was only about 20,000 US dollars for later generations.

It's cheap!

Emperor Li does have a black gold in his hand that is more powerful than TNT, but even a person like him who doesn't spend money, he is not willing to replace TNT with expensive black gold, so after learning that Manniu is so cheap, he excitedly immediately granted the title of count of Zhang Qiang Empire and rewarded the whole research group, and Ordered to be manufactured in large quantities. If it hadn't been for its extremely difficult storage like incendiary bombs, maybe he would have wanted to cancel ordinary TNT bombs!

Not only that, he also included the formula of cloud explosives as well as suffocation in the highest-level secrets, and only a small number of people can know all the formula materials and processing technology.

The only disadvantage of "Barian Bull" is that it cannot be carried by a tactical bomber such as the storm or the night owl that has just begun to be equipped, because it uses a non-trigger fuse. It must calculate the flight altitude and landing time before dropping the bomb, and let them explode at the optimal altitude. Therefore, at present, there is only Kunpeng bomb with a reading ammunition module. Only bombers and four bombers to be equipped can be carried.

Originally, Li Mo planned to wait until he landed in the United States to take out this killer mace, but he didn't expect Panama to fight so hard. It happened that the cloud bomb was also regarded as a rainforest killer. Even in the Vietnam War, the U.S. military regarded the cloud bomb as a killing force and a good helper to push trees to open up helicopter landing points in the rainforest, so this The Second Air Force took out nearly half of the 3,000 cloud bombs, just to completely let the U.S. military understand what air force coverage is!

5 o'clock.

The airport, which had been noisy all night, gradually calmed down. Xia Shihui, who had just arrived here, took the crew out of the conference room. After a while, the first escort Mustang began to take off.

Then, two albatross liaison aircraft for air contact and command also rushed out of the runway, and the sky in Panama suddenly became noisy.

=====Panama City.

Billy yawned and walked out of the fortifications with a gun on his back.

A trace of white fish appeared in the sky. Through the glimmer of light, he saw that the narrow streets around him were crowded with sleeping soldiers, in the rubble, in the broken houses, everywhere.

and themselves can rest in the safe and strong fortifications. These guys are obviously too unfortunate.

There is no way. There is no way to see several complete buildings in Panama City. Since the arrival of the Xinhua Air Force in Panama, the high point of Panama City and the Ankang Mountains in the west have been bombed every day. According to statistics, the Panamanian capital, with less than 50 square kilometers and a population of 150,000, has fallen nearly 50 00 large and small bombs!

So no matter which direction you turn, it is rubble and burning black. If you are a newcomer, I'm afraid it's hard to imagine that this is the once beautiful Panama City.

Even Billy himself can't remember how he spent the past four months. From powerful bombs to terrible irretinguishable flames, everything was like a nightmare. Not only did the city become ruins, but tens of thousands of people died here. The surviving Panamanian locals crossed the canal to the north. Fang.

The combat effectiveness of the [***] team in

is too terrible. What's more terrible is that they also have two mad dogs. The barbarism of the Japanese and the North Korean army has made the Panamanians afraid. As long as they are killed by them, there are basically no living people!

Now, Lake Baden has basically fallen, and Panama City has become the only stronghold west of the canal. It has completely become a barracks, with not only more than 80,000 soldiers stationed, but also nearly 30,000 armed Panamanian locals. But even so, if it weren't for the rain forest of Ankang Mountain in the west, there are still ten Ten thousand troops are resisting desperately. Maybe they have fallen here a few times long ago.

There was a buzzing sound in my ear. Two reconnaissance aircraft from the north passed overhead, but Billy knew very well that they were not so much fighting as using their lives to provide early warning for the city, because in half a year, it was almost impossible for any plane to land on their own ability. More than 1,000 planes were lost in this rainforest.

It is even said that some pilots have refused to take off, and the headquarters can only use lots to decide who will die in the end, because everyone knows that if it were not for the sacrifice of these pilots, the loss of the army would have increased several times.

Billy sighed gently and drew a cross on his chest with his index finger. After praying for the pilot, he was about to turn around and find something to fill his hungry stomach for most of the day. The wings of a camel in the distance suddenly broke!

"Enemy aircraft!"

When Billy put the whistle in his mouth and blew it loudly, the four Mustang fighters had rushed down from the clouds like lightning. They struggled for less than half a minute, and the other camel also turned into a fire and fell into the rainforest.

The harsh whistle resounded throughout Panama City. Before the soldiers who got up from their sleep could figure out the situation, dense enemy planes had appeared in the distance.

God!

Such a huge fleet of planes made Billy at a loss. He didn't even notice that the whistle in his mouth hit his instep. Since the appearance of the enemy's plane, he had never seen such a huge cluster, covering the rainforest.

"Machine gun, I need a machine gunner!"

"Bullet, bring the ammunition box!"

"Cannonball, adjust the fuse quickly!"

The whole Panama City was impatient, and the soldiers in charge of air defense rushed to the battle position. More army partners couldn't even roll up the blankets, so they looked for bunkers one after another. The small cement bunker behind Billy was crowded into a full five or six hundred people. When Billy was squeezed in by the panicked crowd, he found that What I entered was not a bunker at all, but a canned sardine box!

Fortunately, no one complained that the nearly half-meter-thick reinforced concrete structure helped it avoid dozens of bombings, so everyone believes that it can continue to be lucky this time.

More soldiers who did not find a suitable bunker had to hide in dangerous rooms or craters. They didn't know who spread it, saying that a crater would not be bombed twice, so the crater became the second target for everyone to occupy.

A few minutes later, the crowd covering the narrow streets of Panama City disappeared. A pair of eyes looked at the approaching group in horror, and the sound of prayer was louder than the choir in the church.

Dong Dong Dong.

The first to fire was the 47mm single-barre tube anti-aircraft gun. After pressure from the sky, the U.S. military, which had no anti-aircraft firepower, gradually caught up. This kind of anti-aircraft gun has even become the standard equipment of the U.S. military.

Billy and everyone saw that with the firing of the anti-aircraft gun, a mass of black smoke had appeared in the distant sky, but the result was disappointing. A few more than a dozen 47mm anti-aircraft guns were really a drop in the bucket for such a large group of aircraft, so everyone's hopes were placed on Lewis 7.7 mm imported from the United Kingdom. The rice machine gun and the Browning machine gun that has just been successfully produced and can be fired in the air.

Just as everyone was waiting for the enemy to enter the range of machine guns and prepare to use hundreds of machine guns deployed all over the city to give the other party a good look, a large number of Mustang fighters suddenly appeared in the north!

Dududu.

Dozens of fighters, taking advantage of the U.S. military's attention focused on the gap in the west, rushed straight down from the high clouds in a circle, 25mm machine guns and four 7.62mm machine guns, sprinkled shells and bullets around the anti-aircraft guns and machine gun positions like a rainstorm.

Boom.

A 125kg bomb carried by a Mustang accurately hit the air defense position not far from Billy's bunker. Standing in the narrow observation window, he saw that the half-** position could not even shout, and dozens of soldiers broke in the explosion and were buried by the raised sand.

The sudden attack of the Mustang lasted for less than a few minutes. After they were raised, the first wave of storm attackers launched a crazy attack, which paved the way for the bombers and solved the attack aircraft with threatening fire points in advance. They were like a group of hungry sharks, constantly roaring over Panama City.

Rumble, rumble.

The powerful incendiary bomb came on the field. First, the white fog rose in the explosion, and then Mars suddenly shone out, and then a huge fireball appeared around. Whether it was a building or a cannon, as long as it was shrouded in them, there could only be a pile of debris left.

No one dares to put out the fire. In the past six months, countless lives have only learned a lesson. Leave it alone and let it burn. If you try to put it out, you will be burned to death!

The fire began to spread, and countless soldiers shouted in pain in the flames. A heartbreaking cry made Billy and his friends' hearts tremble. The bones seemed to be frozen, and the chill kept crawling all over the body from the center of his feet along the spine.

Fortunately, although Panama City is not big, it is mainly made of stone buildings. In addition, the weather is humid and the trees are dense, so more than 100 incendiary bombs alone will not be fatal, but the machine guns and anti-aircraft guns have been destroyed a lot.

But Billy didn't know that just as they waited for the flame to go out and thought they had escaped another disaster, the more terrible death had come to the top of their heads.

Xia Shihui opened the bomb bay. After the heavy "Bulch" left the plane, Kun Peng's whole body was light and suddenly rose 100 meters before it stabilized. When he saw that the tail parachute was opened as he wanted, he didn't even want to see the results, so he began to fly back to load the bomb, preparing for the second round of bombing.

Followed by Xia Shihui, the first batch of 60 Kunpeng bombers passed over Panama City in five groups, and wild cows were dropped. In an instant, the sky seemed to be full of "white flowers". This picture was deeply affected.

"Hey hey, you will know it's awesome in a while!" The pilots hooked the corners of their mouths. They not only wanted to return quickly to prepare for the second wave of bombing, but also wanted to see the spectacular scene of waiting. However, after weighing, most people chose to leave immediately. Only a small number of them turned around reluctantly before they focused on turning around. Ah, the matter of counting the results was left to the fighter pilots.

Billy couldn't know what the pilots were thinking in the sky. His eyes had been completely attracted by dozens of bombs that appeared almost at the same time, and the tail also opened a white "little flower" at the same time.

What kind of bomb is that?

Billy always felt that there was a small "white flower" bomb on the tail, but when he saw a charred corpse burned to death by the flame of the incendiary bomb, his face suddenly changed!

He finally remembered that he had heard about it there. Two days ago, when a group of wounded soldiers stationed in Ankang Mountain returned here for treatment, one of them said so.

"That's terrible. They hang small white umbrellas and explode ten meters above your head. Then the explosion will push down the big tree, and the air waves will tear up your body. What's more terrible is that you can't breathe at all!

Yes, I don't know. All I know is that I was completely suffocated at that time. If I hadn't been farther away, I might not have been able to come back. When I returned there after the explosion, I saw that everyone had scratched their throats, and everything within 100 meters of the explosion point had melted, even our Maxim machine gun. It will melt in half an hour!"

Billy didn't know what a terrible and horrible scene it was, but at that time, the guy's eyes widened and said that he still remembered the tense and twitching all over. At that time, he thought that this guy had only encountered a fire bomb, but now when he saw the "white flower", he knew that there was really such a bomb.

He believes that burning melts steel, because it is not the first time that the incendiary bomb has visited Panama City, but he can't figure it out. How can he suffocate? Even such a powerful "magic fire" can't take away all the air!

Looking at the slowly falling bomb, the scene of his whole body twitching when talking, made his heart rise with an unprecedented sense of fear.

"Get out of here, get out!"

Suddenly, Billy, who shouted crazily, stunned everyone. Judging from the direction of the fall, the nearest bomb was still nearly 100 meters away. This distance could not hurt the bunker at all. On the contrary, it was dangerous to rush out.

"Billy, stop, it won't hurt me."

"Boom."

Partner, I just grabbed Billy. Before I finished, the bomb was about 80 meters away. At first, it was just a small point, and then it seemed that something had been spilled out, as if it had been magiced.

Then, a much smaller sound than the usual bomb explosion sounded from the ear, and the earth was shrouded in a mass of white fog-like gas. Before everyone could figure out what was going on, suddenly, the thunderous earthquake trembled, and dozens of fires the size of a football field suddenly appeared, the trees were pushed down, and the houses became On the flat ground, the rubble bricks were pushed hundreds of meters away by the explosion shock wave.

The wild horse pilots in the sky also stared. They had seen many powerful bombs, 500 kilograms of high-explosive bombs, white phosphorus incendiary bombs, napalum bombs, and even 1,800 kilograms of "little fat men", but they had never seen such a huge black and red mushroom cloud.

In an instant, Panama City, which is much smaller than that of later generations, is full of death "mushrooms" that should not have appeared in this era!

The sandstone hit the outer wall of the thick bunker, and the wind generated by the explosion swept by. The fire enveloped the bunker in the blink of an eye. At first, everyone thought that they could rely on the thick wall to block the flames and explosion shock waves, but soon everyone was frightened, because they all found that they could not breathe. !

The throat seems to be burned by flames, and there is only thick gunpowder smoke and hot air left in the nose, as if the water in the air has been evaporated in an instant, and even the oxygen has been drained!

Billy squatted on the ground and rolled in pain. He felt as if he had become a fish thrown in the desert. No matter how big his mouth was, he could not breathe any air.

What about the air? What about oxygen? Where have you been!

After a while, Billy found that several companions began to tear their throats violently, and blood kept gushing out along the deep scratches, but they didn't seem to feel any pain at all, as if it was not their necks, or they simply wanted to tear it and directly expose the trachea to the outside air.

The throat was scratched, the trachea appeared in the oxygen-free air, and blood gushed out like a spring, but on the faces of the fallen soldiers, it was not pain but a pleasant smile!

God!

Terrified, panicked, and instantly covered Billy's whole body. He widened his eyes. He couldn't control himself. As more and more soldiers began to grab his neck crazily and tear it with his nails little by little, Billy was completely paralyzed. Finally, he even scratched his neck, completely forgetting the pain and fire. Yan, there is only one thought left in my heart.

I want to breathe!
