Chapter 119: Bombing the Bandits' Homeland Again
The reason why Lu Tianhao gave the bandits three days was mainly because his side needed to repair the damaged plane.
For three days, the bandit troops actually stopped releasing the people of Tianlong Kingdom.
In the command center, Lu Tianhao said coldly, "It seems that the bandits are determined to resist to the end this time, and they will force us to bomb their homeland again."
Wang Hui spoke up, "The bandit would rather let us bomb his homeland again than release our people.
They must have thought of some plan and needed to delay time, so they did this.
It seems that the bandits have a big plan this time, we have to be on guard."
Du Xiaowei said coldly, "Who cares what schemes they are planning? We just bomb their homeland.
If they don't release our people, we can continue to bomb their homeland until they give in."
Jin Zhichao also spoke up, "If bombing their ordinary cities doesn't work.
We can also bomb their capital cities.
As long as we threaten the high-ranking officials of the bandits, I believe they will definitely compromise."
Lu Tianhao said, "The bandit's capital is 2,700 to 2,800 kilometers away from our Liming City.
Our B29 bombers, with a small bomb load, might be able to bomb their capital.
If we were to bomb their capital with a full load and something went wrong, our bombers would have difficulty returning to our air base.
This time, we will not bomb their capital for the time being. If they still refuse to compromise, we will find a way to launch a massive bombing on their capital."
Wang Hui also spoke up, "Marshal, after this bombing, no matter whether the bandits compromise or not, we must find a way to advance.
We must capture a coastal city that is relatively close to the enemy's homeland and establish our second air force base.
By then, we can easily bomb the bandit's capital city."
Lu Tianhao's eyes lit up involuntarily. He already had a rough idea, but it was not mature yet. He could only wait until tomorrow to see how the bandits reacted.
If the bandits release all the people of Tianlong Kingdom, the National Salvation Army will launch a full-scale counterattack.
If the bandits resist to the end, we will launch a second bombing on their homeland early tomorrow morning.
That night, Lu Tianhao returned to Dawn City to prepare for the bombing of the bandits' homeland the next day.
This time, Lu Tianhao planned to send 72 B29 Super Fortresses, all carrying napalm bombs, to bomb the bandits' homeland.
Most of the bandits' local buildings are made of wood, and any napalm bomb thrown down could cause a raging fire.
More than 70 B29 Super Fortresses, carrying more than 600 tons of napalm bombs, if they dispersed when dropping the bombs, it was estimated that a medium-sized city of the bandits could be burned to ashes.
Lu Tianhao waited patiently for another whole night, but there was no news from the bandits until the next morning.
Lu Tianhao exchanged a large number of napalm bombs and had the soldiers load them onto the planes.
Under Lu Tianhao's command, 72 B29 Super Fortresses took off into the sky one after another, then lined up and flew straight towards the bandits' homeland.
This time, it was still Air Force Commander Wang Dingqian who personally led the team to bomb the bandits' homeland.
With the first successful bombing, the pilots of the bomber group were full of confidence that they could still complete the bombing mission perfectly this time.
More than three hours later, Wang Dingqian led a group of bombers and arrived over the bandits' homeland again.
The bandit seaside city that was bombed last time was still in ruins.
The National Salvation Army's air force flew over the city and headed towards the city where the bandits were deeper inside.
As soon as the National Salvation Army's air force entered the bandits' airspace, it was discovered by the bandits' air defense forces.
However, the planes of the National Salvation Army were always flying at high altitudes, and the anti-aircraft weapons possessed by the enemy's anti-aircraft forces could not hit these planes at all.
They could only watch the National Salvation Army's planes fly past them, but they were powerless to do anything.
Soon, the National Salvation Army's bomber fleet arrived at the bandits' second city.
Wang Dingqian issued an order, "Everyone should disperse the bombs as much as possible and expand the bombing range as much as possible.
Most of the bandits' buildings are made of wood, and this time we are carrying napalm bombs.
Each napalm bomb can set fire to a large area, so we need to expand the bombing area as much as possible.
Let this city of bandits be engulfed in flames and burned to ashes."
After hearing the order, the pilots immediately dispersed and carried out sparse bombing, dropping the napalm bombs they carried over the largest area possible.
With loud bangs, napalm bombs poured down like raindrops, landing in every corner of the bandit city.
In an instant, the entire city was engulfed in raging fire, with flames shooting into the sky and black smoke billowing.
Buildings collapsed under the heat, the streets turned into a sea of fire, and people fled in all directions but had nowhere to hide.
In the sea of fire, human bodies were burned and emitted a pungent smell.
The survivors screamed in terror and tried to escape from this hellish scene.
But the fire was so intense that they were trapped inside and unable to escape.
Some people even chose to jump into the river to seek shelter, but the river water was also heated by the flames and became extremely hot.
The bandits and civilians who jumped into the river were boiled to death alive.
Everything in the city was burning, including houses and public facilities.
Thick smoke filled the air, blocking out the sun and making people feel despair.
This once prosperous city is now a ruin, with debris and corpses everywhere.
The damage caused by this napalm bombing was extremely serious. It not only dealt a huge blow to the bandits, but also caused heavy casualties among the bandits and civilians.
Looking at the city engulfed in flames below, the pilots of the National Salvation Army flying high in the sky could not hear any screams.
However, the pilots of the National Salvation Army could all feel that the bandits and civilians who were trapped in the sea of fire must have been letting out heart-wrenching screams.
Although the pilots of the National Salvation Army showed reluctance on their faces, they had to do this in order to prevent the people of Tianlong Country from being used as shields by the bandits.
Only if the bandits are severely injured and suffer heavy casualties, will they compromise and release the people of Tianlong Kingdom.
A number of silent planes have already flown in from a distance.
Wang Dingqian calmly issued the order to return.
72 B29 Super Fortresses turned their noses and returned quickly.
The speed of the planes that the bandits were chasing after was not as fast as the B29.
They could only watch the National Salvation Army's air force sail away, helpless and without any way to do anything.
The system's voice rang in Lu Tianhao's mind.
Lu Tianhao was full of anticipation, wondering what the harvest would be this time.
