Chapter 988 What a Waste
When the smoke dissipated, you could see that the vegetation on the top of the mountain was basically destroyed, and white rocks were exposed in many places.Everyone was dumbfounded.

The target mountain can hold at least one regiment's troops. I am afraid that a regiment will not be able to survive a few people if this bomb goes down.

Wang Zhankui said excitedly: "Jiuye, this kind of bomb is really exciting. Even if you encounter an infantry brigade of the little devil, if you give him a few, at least half of him can be killed. This kind of battle is really easy to fight." .”

Everyone was very excited and talked a lot.The technicians in the arsenal saw that the masters were so happy, and they were also very proud.

Gao Jiu said on the spot that the engineers and technicians who participated in the development will be rewarded heavily, and the arsenal will be made to produce such cluster bombs at full capacity.

Half a month later, the arsenal reported that they had survived 1500 cluster bombs. Everyone, including Gao Jiu, was very excited and wanted to quickly take these cluster bombs and test their power on the battlefield.

Gao Jiu called Lin Yanni and asked her to provide the targets of the Japanese army around the Golden Triangle.Lin Yanni said that a Japanese army was confronting the British army stationed in Burma, and Gao Jiu marked it on the map.

Gao Jiu looked at it and felt that this target was very suitable, so he sent a telegram to the British Governor's Office in Myanmar, planning to send bombers to help the British army fight.

The British Governor in Myanmar was very happy and immediately called to welcome him.He sent a liaison team to be responsible for liaison between the British army on the front line and the Taohuashan guerrilla air force.

On the Lapula River, the 139th Regiment of the British Army's Huang Family and the 68th Division of the Japanese Army have been confronting each other across the river for more than a year. not moving.

Occasionally, they would engage in artillery battles with each other, and most of the time, they would go about their separate lives without paying much attention to each other.

Colonel Smith, the head of the British army, received an order from the governor, saying that the air force of the Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas was coming to bomb the enemy's positions and prepare them for an attack.

Colonel Smith was in a bit of a dilemma. They knew that the Japanese army had dug a lot of trenches, and they also dug anti-bomb holes inside. Launching an attack is tantamount to courting death.

However, he did not question the governor's order, because he heard that Gao Jiu would personally organize the bombing of the Japanese army. He had dealt with Gao Jiu for many years, and he believed that Gao Jiu would never do useless work.Since Gao Jiu thought that bombing the enemy's position would be effective, Colonel Smith thought that there must be a reason for Gao Jiu.

So after receiving the notification that Taohuashan sent the air force to dispatch, he ordered his officers and soldiers to prepare for the attack.

The officers and soldiers of the British army had the same idea as the regiment commander. They felt apprehensive looking at the enemy's position on the opposite bank, just as they believed that the Japanese army would attack their own defensive position, which would definitely be unfavorable. Attacking the positions of the Japanese army will definitely suffer heavy losses.

The officers and soldiers of the British army were beating their hearts, and they found Colonel Smith one after another and asked him to suggest to the governor to cancel the mission of the attack.

Colonel Smith told everyone that it was Gao Jiu who suggested the attack, and that he would personally take the air force of the Taohuashan guerrillas to bomb it.

The officers and soldiers of the British army also admired Gao Jiu very much. When they heard that Gao Jiu was coming in person, they also had expectations for this bombing by the Taohuashan guerrillas.

Colonel Smith also made two-handed preparations. If the bombing of the Japanese army had a good effect, he would order the troops to attack.If there is no effect, he intends to pretend to launch an attack on the Japanese army, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties among his officers and soldiers.

At 9:30 this morning, the roar of bombers was heard in the sky.

The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army have long known that their defensive positions may be attacked by the enemy's air, and they have taken this into account when building fortifications.Seeing the plane coming, they didn't panic. Except for a few surveillance posts, the rest of the people got into the anti-gun hole.

Soon the bombers of the guerrillas flew over. The air force of the Taohuashan guerrillas first dropped a large number of 623kg giant bombs. Such powerful bombs fell on the top of the Japanese trenches and artillery holes. In the inner part, the anti-blasting holes below could not support at all, and many anti-blasting holes were blown up directly, suffocating the Japanese officers and soldiers inside.

It is impossible for this kind of giant aerial bomb to fall completely and accurately on the top of the Japanese army's artillery holes, so many Japanese officers and soldiers are still safe and sound.

The officers and soldiers of the British army watched the tragic bombing. They believed that this round of violent bombing would definitely cause a lot of casualties to the Japanese army, but it might still be difficult to destroy the Japanese army hiding in the anti-gun holes.Therefore, they still have no idea about the next offensive operation.

At this moment, the second batch of bombers flew over.

The officers and soldiers of the British army saw that the bombs dropped from the bombers were completely different from the aerial bombs in front. When these bombs approached the ground, they exploded in the air, and countless small bombs flew out from them. These bombs were scattered in many places. Large range, explodes quickly.

The officers and soldiers of the British army were far away and could not see clearly, but the observation post of the British army could see them clearly.

Those small bombs were all round, and after they hit the ground, they rolled on the ground with the help of the kinetic energy thrown from high altitudes. Many small bombs fell into the trenches, and even rolled into the artillery holes, and then a violent explosion occurred. explode.

The Japanese officers and soldiers who were hiding in the trenches and the anti-aircraft holes did not expect such a situation to happen. They stared at the black iron ball with sparks in despair, and lost their lives in the violent explosion. .

The air force of the guerrillas dropped dozens of cluster bombs, and almost all the trenches and most of the artillery holes of the Japanese army fell into the bombs. The Japanese officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

At this time, Gao Jiu's voice came from the air, and he said: "Colonel Smith, you can take your troops to attack, and I will cover you in the air."

Colonel Smith didn't know what new weapons the guerrillas used, but he could feel that the bombing effect must be very good, so he ordered the troops to launch an attack.

The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army were very tenacious. Although they suffered heavy casualties after two rounds of bombing, many officers and soldiers of the Japanese army found that the British army had launched an attack, so they all got out of the anti-gun holes and entered the trenches.

At this time, dozens of cluster bombs fell from the sky, landed on the enemy's positions, and rolled around. Small bombs exploded in almost all the trenches.

The Japanese soldiers in the trenches had nowhere to hide. They were blown to pieces, and all of them were either killed or injured.Seeing this horrible situation, the living Japanese officers and soldiers had no choice but to go into the bomb defense hole again.

In this case, there was basically no one defending the Japanese positions.The officers and soldiers of the British army crossed the river valley quite smoothly. They stood on the top of the trench and threw grenades into the anti-gun holes where the Japanese army was hiding, killing the remaining Japanese soldiers in the anti-gun holes.

Soon after, the British army completely wiped out all the Japanese troops on the position.

This time, the 139th British regiment annihilated almost 3000 Japanese infantry regiments, while the British suffered less than 40 casualties.All the officers and soldiers of the British army, including Colonel Smith, couldn't believe it. They really wanted to know what kind of new weapons Gao Jiu and the others used.

The use of cluster bombs by Gao Jiu and others this time was just a small experiment.

Cluster bombs posed a very limited threat to the Japanese army who had entered the air-raid shelter.The power of cluster bombs can be used to deal with the enemy's marching brigade. In the open area, there is nowhere to hide. Only in this way can the power of cluster bombs be maximized.

But Gao Jiu and the others didn't regret it, because there were so many little devils, and opportunities to hit them were everywhere.

After returning to the airport, Gao Jiu and the others felt a little unsatisfactory.They rested for a while, waited until the bomber was refueled and reloaded, and then flew to the Mekong River to bomb another Japanese checkpoint on the water.

Gao Jiu and others saw that there were more than 30 houses in the barracks next to the Japanese checkpoint. The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army saw the bombers coming, and they were evacuating.

Gao Jiu and the others saw the location of the enemy's barracks, and dropped a cluster bomb.

The cluster bombs split in mid-air, and countless small bombs were scattered in the Japanese barracks, and soon there was a violent explosion.

After the explosion, everyone saw in the sky that the explosion effect this time was really good. Just one cluster bomb razed the entire barracks of the Japanese army to the ground.

Only then did everyone return to the Golden Triangle with satisfaction. After this test, Gao Jiu sent people to deliver [-] cluster bombs to Zhang Quan and the others.

The Golden Triangle invented the cluster bomb, which caused great panic to the Japanese army.The Japanese soldiers around the Golden Triangle were all terrified, for fear of the roar of bombers in the sky.

Commander Komura of the North China Front Army and Yoshito Hamada were very worried after receiving the notification from the Japanese army.

Komura said dejectedly: "With such powerful bombs in the enemy's hands, future battles will become more and more difficult."

Hamada Yoshito remained silent.For so many years, he has been studying Gao Jiu, but he doesn't know why Gao Jiu is so powerful.Gao Jiu's knowledge is really rich. Even if a normal person is a top student, he started to learn advanced knowledge in elementary school, even if he didn't sleep or eat for a minute, and spent all his time studying, To be able to master as much knowledge as Gao Jiu.

"Gao Jiu is simply a monster." Hamada Yoshichi thought about it, and couldn't help but say it.

He said: "This Gao Jiu is not a normal person. He is either a genius or a monster. It is really unfortunate for Huang Jun to meet such an opponent."

Commander Komura was very depressed. He was one of the most capable generals in the Japanese army, and he was very conceited, but facing the weird Gao Jiu, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Zhang Quan and others received the cluster bomb sent by Gao Jiu, and they were all very excited and couldn't wait to try it.

Cluster bombs are so heavy that an armed helicopter can only carry one, and two crew members need to be reduced to barely be able to carry it.Even so, it does not affect the enthusiasm of Zhang Quan and others.

On the second day after the bombs were delivered, they took a helicopter, carrying nine cluster bombs, and flew over a barracks of the Japanese army.

They didn't know how powerful the cluster bombs were, so they threw all nine of them down.

This is the barracks of an infantry brigade of the Japanese army. After the cluster bombs were dropped, there was a violent explosion soon.The barracks of the Japanese army were instantly covered by thick smoke. When the smoke cleared, Zhang Quan and others were surprised to find that the huge barracks had been completely razed to the ground, and even all the buildings had been blown to pieces.Obviously, where the explosion went, the Japanese army had no survivors.

After they sent the news to Gao Jiu by telegram, Gao Jiu said with a smile: "These guys are prodigals. Three bombs are enough to blow up a barracks of the devils. Throwing so many at once is pure waste."

The Guofu side heard that the Golden Triangle had produced a powerful cluster bomb, and they were very interested in it, so they sent Lin Wenhan over to request a large number of such cluster bombs.

This time Gao Jiu did not disappoint his old father-in-law, and sold them 400 cluster bombs at one go.

He secretly told Lin Wenhan that he must find out where these bombs went and ensure that they were used on the battlefield against Japan.Gao Jiu must strictly control the number of these bombs falling into the hands of the Guojun, and sell them a certain amount after they have used them all on the anti-Japanese battlefield. He must ensure that these bombs are used up before the end of the Anti-Japanese War.

Not only that, but Gao Jiu also asked the Guofu to pay all the expenses for purchasing the bomb in one lump sum, and would no longer credit the Guofu with any further discounts on prices.

Ouyang Xue heard Gao Jiu and others talk about the power of cluster bombs, and jokingly said to Gao Jiu: "Ninth brother, since the research of a new weapon can severely damage the Japanese army, the effect is more significant than if you personally took people out to fight the Japanese army. Seeing that you should spare more energy to continue researching new weapons and equipment, and leave the matter of going out to fight to other people."

The reason why Ouyang Xue said that was because of her own considerations.On the one hand, she worried that Gao Jiu would often go deep into the enemy's rear to take risks. If something happened, the sky in the Golden Triangle would collapse, and the people and children in the family would have nothing to rely on.On the other hand, Gao Jiu often goes out for a long time. Because Gao Jiu's family situation is complicated, people don't have much time to spend with him alone, and the time he goes out is so long. It was very difficult.

Gao Jiu knew Ouyang Xue well and knew what she meant.

He said apologetically, "It's the time of the war, and it's my duty to fight the devils. Fortunately, the war is coming to an end, and when the little devils are driven away, I will stay in the Golden Triangle wholeheartedly and spend time with you and your children." us."
