Chapter 1154 It was a close call, I was almost scared
"Oh...my God..." Wu Xianglin, commander of the Southern Theater Command, looked up at the screen with a dry throat.
He had experienced countless large and small battle exercises, but he had never seen so many strategic bombers appear in the same airspace and at the same time like today!
The sense of oppression brought by the sheer number and scale is far stronger than the display of any single weapon.
This was no mere tactical support; it was a strategic-level display of force! A devastating display of power, exhausting the very last resources of an industrial civilization!
Immediately afterwards, in the designated airspace, the bomb bays of these air fortresses opened with a bang.
In an instant, like flowers scattering from the sky, or as if Pandora's box was opened, countless black spots swarmed out from the deep bomb bay of the H-20 like a pouring waterfall!
Those were densely packed, countless aerial bombs!
From conventional high-explosive bombs weighing 500 kilograms to cluster bombs and submunitions specially used for area clearance, they were like seeds of death poured down by the gods, with a scalp-numbing whistling sound, covering the already devastated city below!
Once the largest community in Asia, the "Little Myanmar" of the night market, and the Huaguoyuan where it is said that even Sun Wukong had to drop his golden cudgel when he came!
This was once one of the most prosperous areas of the night market. Huge shopping malls, pedestrian streets, dense residential areas, and sunken squares formed a huge commercial complex.
Today, this place is occupied by dense zombies and twisted fungal networks. The square is crowded with roaring zombies, and the surface of the buildings is covered with thick fungal blankets that pulsate like blood vessels.
The first 500-kilogram bomb, like the precise call of the god of death, directly hit the huge glass dome of the main building of the shopping mall.
"boom----!!!"
A dull and penetrating roar erupted, far surpassing the bombardment of artillery!
The main structure of the entire shopping mall was like a building block toy being hit by a giant with a sledgehammer, suddenly caving in and collapsing!
The glass dome instantly turned into billions of sharp fragments, mixed with concrete blocks, steel bars and the broken limbs of countless zombies, and was thrown hundreds of meters into the sky by the huge air wave generated by the explosion!
Raging flames gushed out from the collapsed gap like a volcanic eruption, instantly engulfing everything inside the building.
But this is just the beginning.
Immediately afterwards, cluster bombs and submunitions fell like a torrential rain!
Countless small bombs scattered in the air for a second time, forming an almost inescapable rain of death, covering the entire shopping mall and its surrounding blocks!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!..."
Continuous and dense explosions like popping beans were heard. The explosion of each sub-bomb could clear a small area, directly tearing apart and setting fire to the zombies within the range!
In the square, the originally dense tide of corpses was like an icy surface thrown into hot stones, and instantly became riddled with holes!
Zombies fell down in groups and were blown into pieces in the continuous explosions. Black blood and broken organs covered the ground, and were instantly scorched and evaporated by the high temperature of subsequent explosions.
The shock wave spread outward in circles like an invisible sickle. Wherever it passed, shop windows were shattered, billboards twisted and fell from great heights, cars parked on the roadside were easily overturned and torn apart, and fuel tanks exploded, turning into moving fireballs.
...
Beijing Road Tunnel Entrance
This is one of the important channels for zombies to pour into the core area. The tunnel has long been filled with zombies, like a huge, wriggling nest.
A bunker-buster bomb was accurately delivered above the tunnel entrance.
It easily penetrated the road surface and reinforced structures, drilled deep into the tunnel, and then exploded!
"Boom——!!!"
A dull roar like the roar of a giant beast came from underground!
The road surface at the entrance of the entire tunnel arched upward like a fragile eggshell, and then suddenly collapsed, forming a huge deep pit with a diameter of more than 50 meters!
The countless zombies clogged in the tunnel, along with the twisted car wreckage and the tunnel structure itself, were completely shattered and buried in the instant of the explosion! Scorching flames and thick smoke gushed out from the collapsed area, as if hell had opened its mouth.
The shock wave violently transmitted forward and backward along the tunnel, sweeping, squeezing and shattering the zombies farther away like fallen leaves swept by autumn wind!
When the smoke and dust from the explosion dissipated slightly, the entire Huaguoyuan community and the Beijing Road Tunnel entrance area had been completely changed.
The shopping mall was reduced to a burning ruin, its massive steel structure twisted and pointed skyward like the skeleton of a dying beast.
The squares and streets were covered with dense craters, like the surface of the moon, dotted with charred debris and flames that had not yet been extinguished. The air was filled with a thick mixture of gunpowder smoke, barbecued meat and burnt plastic.
The tunnel entrance was completely blocked, leaving only a huge pit emitting black smoke.
The once bustling commercial center was completely wiped off the map by absolute power in just a few minutes, leaving only silence and destruction.
And this is just one of the areas covered by the huge bomber formation.
More death rain is evenly and cruelly falling on every corner of the night market marked as "high-density infection area".
Steel, fire, shock waves... constitute the only theme of this carpet bombing.
In this situation, the entire joint command center was in dead silence.
Everyone was stunned by the sheer efficiency and sheer scale of the destruction.
This was no longer a battle, it was a cleansing, a thorough purification of the filthy land with steel and fire.
...
As the sky-blocking H-20 fleet rolled across the horizon like a moving mountain range, and as the rain of death poured down from the open bomb bays, turning the earth into a burning purgatory, the core leaders of the three major war zones in the east, west and south on the observation corridor of the joint command center seemed to be strangled by an invisible force and fell into a long, almost speechless shock.
Especially Commander Wu Xianglin of the Southern Theater Command, a veteran known for his calmness and experience of tough times. At this moment, his calloused hands, which had signed countless combat orders, were trembling slightly as they rested on the cold railings. The veins on the back of his hands were visible, and his knuckles were white from the exertion.
His eyes were fixed on the hellish scene on the main screen—the once bustling commercial center was reduced to dust in the explosion, the huge tunnel entrance was like an anthill crushed by a giant's foot, and the tide of zombies was instantly evaporated in the storm of steel and fire...
In response, Wu Xianglin subconsciously pursed his lips into a hard straight line, and the muscles on the sides of his cheeks twitched slightly uncontrollably.
His military instincts led him to subconsciously deduce that if it were his own Southern Theater Command... what the hell!
I'm really fucking cocky... Seeing others succeed, I'm actually getting hysterical...
This level of firepower... I'm afraid even if I sell my old bones, it won't be enough to deal with it...
This is completely a dimensionality reduction attack caused by the crushing gap in resources, industrial background and technological generations!
What the Zhongzhou Theater demonstrated was not only a huge fleet of aircraft, but also a terrifying systematic combat capability that could effectively integrate and deliver them to the target!
Thinking of this, a deep chill, mixed with indescribable awe, rose from the cracks in his spine.
He slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, all that remained was the closeness to the Zhongzhou war zone!
"That was a close call. Damn it, I almost forgot this was my eldest brother! I was scared for nothing! Hahahaha——"
"Great!! Just do it, blow the zombies and mutants into whistles!!!"
