Chapter 21 Air Raid on the Nameless Hills

"Soul...bang...bang..."

German bombers began to line up to drop bombs. Each JU52 could carry two tons of ammunition. Countless bombs fell like raindrops. The Hota River instantly looked like boiling water. Countless water columns soared into the sky rose on the Hota River, and they also flew around the sky with some iron debris.

The pontoon bridge of the government general was torn into pieces like a tofu in front of a large bomb, but the German JU52 bomber was the same in front of the government's anti-aircraft guns. The bomber's speed was not fast at first. Now, in order to maintain the bombing progress, Hartmann lowered the altitude to 500 meters, and even machine guns could shoot at the air. Hartmann had no choice but to do so because his visibility was really bad, so he could only bomb at this altitude.

"Wuwuwuwu...boombo...boomboboombo"

The government's anti-aircraft guns fired the airplanes randomly, and even some heavy machine guns joined in, forming barrage in the air. The bombers that the Germans dropped bombs suffered a lot, and their survival rate was only 50%.

The first group of twelve aircraft bombed most of the pontoon bridges, and they lost six bombers. When Hartman saw that he would continue bombing like this, he was afraid that half of his aircraft would be reimbursed, so he quickly ordered the subsequent aircraft to pull the plane up immediately, turn to fly, and then continue bombing after a relatively safe space gathering.

The temporary evacuation of the German plane made the government forces think that the German army was repelled, and they all cheered for victory. There were many materials for the general's pontoon bridge, which were stored on the shore. As long as the German plane was not coming to harass him, they could work harder tonight and the pontoon bridge could be built.

Soon, Hartman organized the remaining more than 30 bombers heavy units at high altitude. This time, Hartman organized his aircraft into two groups. The first group had two squadrons, a total of twenty aircraft. They were the first to bomb, and the target was the government air defense position on the shore. Carpet bombing did not require much accuracy, so bombs could be dropped at high altitude. Hartman required that the aircraft of the first group of aircraft be at a minimum flight altitude of 6,000 meters, and the government air defense guns were basically 37 mm, and the shooting height had just reached. Even if there was a searchlight in this sentence, their shooting effect would be greatly reduced.

After the first group of aircraft bombed the government's anti-aircraft gun positions in a carpet style, the second group of bombers suddenly lowered the altitude to bomb the pontoon bridges and related equipment. Spain is not an industrial power. Now the civil war has long damaged Spain. Their heavy pontoon bridge building materials are supported by other countries. Once they are all blown up, it is basically impossible to build heavy pontoon bridges.

Soon the first bomber formation flew to the government's anti-aircraft artillery position. The German bomber could only fly so high at a height of 6,000 meters and was fully loaded. The flares were thrown down, but the bomb droppers on the plane were still pitch black when they looked at the ground through the observation mirror. Instead, the enemy's searchlight column was very dazzling.

More than a dozen searchlights of the government army are only owned by a division. These searchlights are all arranged along the river bank. When you observe at high altitude, you will be very clear. The first group of German bombers slightly adjusted their defense lines and lined up neatly along the government army's searchlights to carry out horizontal bombing at high altitudes. This is a carpet-style bombing, covering the surface.

The bomber at a height of 6,000 meters is not so easy to shoot down. Countless bombs fell from the sky. In an instant, the Huota River bank shook on the ground, and countless powerful explosions were in a hurry.

The Huota River was red against the light of the explosion. The explosion caused waves of waves in the river. Some bombs deviated from the route due to wind power and fell into the river. The water column soared into the sky was flying with the wind.

The bank of the Hota River was filled with fire, and the fiercely fired anti-aircraft artillery was silent at this time. Even the government army's more than a dozen air-to-air searchlights were all turned off. Now the opportunity for the second bomber unit came. Hartmann quickly lowered the altitude with the remaining twelve JU52 bombers and pounced down at the pontoon bridge. Because the bomber dived at thirty or forty degrees, it made some shrill whistling sounds. In conjunction with the earth-shaking explosion, the government army dared to shoot at the air.

Their anti-aircraft artillery was blown up and the searchlights were turned off. It was impossible to stop the German bomber from bombing. Hartmann, who was flying over the pontoon bridge, led the aircraft group to bombard the pontoon bridge in an indiscriminate manner. The large pontoon bridge built by the government was torn into pieces of different sizes under the bombardment of large bombers. Even the air defense positions on the shore were turned into ruins. Although the German bomber aircraft group paid the heavy price of being shot down five or six aircraft in this operation, it completely destroyed the pontoon bridges and related equipment built by the government. Even the materials they stored were all lost.

The floating bridge built by the government forces was destroyed. Gisele received a retreat order from the division commander that night. Lieutenant General Ferrissa's assessment of the German Condor Legion was that the German army concentrated most of its forces to block it, so he suspended the attack and waited for the situation to become clearer.

Li Mo discovered that there were no enemy figures under the nameless hills. It seemed that these government troops had retreated overnight. When Li Mo was planning to send people to bury the bodies of government soldiers, the government fighter jets and bombers flew towards the north, and it was in a dark place.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

There was no radar at this time, all the observers observed with their visual distance. After discovering the government bomber, the German air defense observation troops immediately sounded the air defense alarm. All the German soldiers on duty in the trenches quickly rolled and crawled back to the anti-aircraft cave. Li Mo was no exception. The government forces were revenge for crazy protection last night.

Li Mo's cannon fodder command post quickly grabbed the radio telephone on the table and shouted:

"The Bobcat calls the headquarters, please answer when you hear it."

"Please say the bobcat."

"More than 40 enemy planes are flying over our position to bomb, and we ask the headquarters to send planes to support it immediately."

"clear."

The airport of the Condor Legion is about 200 kilometers away from Li Mo's position. When the Condor Legion's plane arrived above Li Mo's position, it was almost twenty minutes later. Did the government army's planes continuously bombard more than twenty minutes? Obviously, the government army was not stupid, but Li Mo still called for air support.

This time, the government forces also used medium-sized bombs, carrying 100 kilograms of aviation bombs, and the fighter jets carried large bombs of 500 kilograms. These government aircraft were really bold. Even the escorted fighters carried escort bombs out of bombs. This was mainly because there was no radar. The government aircraft could completely run away after dropping the bombs. German aircraft two hundred kilometers away had to feel that they had already slipped away.

"Boom...boom...rumble"

Li Mo's defensive position cannot shoot at the air. Besides, even if there is one, Li Mo only has an 88 anti-aircraft gun, and the others are all light machine guns, which are of no use at all. It is better to hide the soldiers in the anti-aircraft gun hole and be safer.
