Chapter 500 Goblet Bomb 2 vs. Mother of Bombs

"Immediately send a telegram to Colonel Li Haman at the Air Force Base and inform them of the situation here in detail. Let the Air Force assist us in taking down the two major divisions of Fuso!" As Chen Tong's order was issued, Li Haman, who was far away at the Changxiong Port Air Force Base, quickly received the order.

The signalman immediately took action, tapping his fingers on the telegraph machine to transmit the latest situation on the battlefield to the distant air force base. At the Changxiong Port Air Force Base, when Colonel Li Harman received the order, a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He knew that at this moment, the mission of the air force would become particularly important.

At the same time, in the underground fortifications of the Fuso position, as the roar of 3,000 Chinese rockets gradually faded away, the Fuso soldiers burst into earth-shaking cheers. They looked at the solid concrete bunker above their heads in disbelief. This fortress, like a guardian angel, successfully resisted the terrifying long-range firepower coverage of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

The soldiers hugged each other excitedly, with victory in their eyes. They understood that this meant that in the next battle, the Chinese army would be forced to give up its advantage in military technology and fight them face to face. The Fuso soldiers were extremely confident in their tenacity and individual combat capabilities. They believed that they would be able to defeat any enemy in a head-on battle.

The atmosphere in the fortifications became extremely excited and heated, with soldiers cheering, laughing and talking one after another. They began to discuss the next tactical arrangements and how to make full use of the advantages of underground fortifications to fight against the Chinese army. Their eyes were full of fighting spirit and determination, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.

However, they did not know that the Chinese army had not given up its advantage in military technology. On the contrary, the support of the air force was about to arrive, which would bring them a new nightmare.

"Hmph, China's expeditionary force is nothing special. I have thoroughly studied the course of their battles with the Kwantung Army, as well as the details of their battles in the war of unification between the North and the South. China has always used their damn rocket forces to provide fire coverage, coupled with the fire support of the air force, to cooperate with their army to win. And our bunkers are indestructible, and are the nemesis of China's long-range firepower and air force! We will become a tough nut that the expeditionary force cannot take down, and it will be a thorn in their throat!" The commander of the Okihara Division, Kitajima Hideo, sat at a long table in the bunker and talked freely.

"Mr. Kitajima is right. The Chinese Expeditionary Force was only able to defeat our Fuso warriors on the front battlefield because of the advanced military equipment assistance continuously provided by the Peace Company. In fact, the Chinese are cowardly and incompetent at heart and are not worthy of being our opponents at all!" Takahashi Yoshiken, commander of the Kyushima Division, responded.

The words of Takahashi Beijian and Kitajima Hideo were full of disdain for the Chinese Expeditionary Force, as if they would be able to win from the frontal battlefield after China's long-range firepower coverage lost its due effect.

Little did they know that even in a head-on battle, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Expeditionary Force was enough to easily defeat them. In fact, if China's industry had not been too backward in recent centuries, resulting in a military technology level far lower than that of military powers, it would not have been bullied so wantonly by the damn Fuso and many Western powers.

And now, with Su Zhengyang becoming the only leader of China, China has completely shaken off the label of poverty and backwardness. With the indomitable fighting will and the patriotic feelings deeply rooted in the bones of Chinese soldiers, they can defeat all enemies and deal a heavy blow to any opponent who dares to invade China and is hostile to China.

At the Changxiong Port Air Force Base, Li Haman issued an order to the logistics personnel of the Air Force: "Immediately prepare a large number of high-heeled cup bunker-buster bombs for the bomber squadron. We are going to Wanxi to carry out combat missions. This time I want to let the self-satisfied Fuso devils know that no means can stop the front of our Chinese army."

"Yes! Captain!" As Li Haman's order was given, giant aerial bombs weighing 5,443 kilograms, 6.4 meters long, with a maximum diameter of 0.965 meters and shaped like goblets were transported out of the warehouse.

This nearly six-ton ​​high-footed bomb looks like a giant green jade wine glass, shining with a deep and mysterious luster in the sun. The streamlined design of the cup body is full of power and elegance. The mouth of the cup converges slightly inward, giving people a stable and sharp impression. The green paint not only helps to conceal, but also adds a touch of mystery.

The process of loading the bomber is a rigorous and meticulous job. The bomber opens the bomb bay, revealing the deep interior space. Then, the ground personnel carefully manipulate the high-heeled bomb and slowly push it into the bomb bay. This process requires extremely high precision and coordination, and every action is related to the success or failure of the entire bombing mission. As the bomb is fully in place, the bomber emits a low roar, as if roaring a challenge to the upcoming mission.

The entire loading process is not only a test of the performance of the bomber, but also a test of the professionalism of the ground personnel. Every link reveals rigor and precision, highlighting the ruthlessness and cruelty of war.

The goblet bomb is a giant aerial bomb developed by Britain during World War II. It uses the shock wave of a super-heavy bomb to destroy the foundation of a building, and relies on a tornado-like air shock wave to kill enemy targets.

Developed by a team led by Sir Barnes Wallis in 1942, the bomb was named "Goblet" because its shape resembled a tall wine glass. The British Air Force once used this type of bomb to sink the German battleship HMS Bemis.

In order to meet the military's requirements, the bombs must be large enough. In Barnes Wallis's vision, there are two levels of heavy bombs, 6 tons and 10 tons. Relying on their huge weight and the huge kinetic energy brought by their super high speed, they can penetrate the top concrete protective layer or foundation of the target building, explode and transfer the generated energy to the building, or form an expanding cavity under the foundation to achieve the purpose of complete destruction.

The power generated by this unprecedentedly large bomb was no less than that of a small earthquake, hence the name "earthquake bomb". Later actual combat also confirmed its effectiveness.

The ratio of the length to the diameter of the goblet bomb reaches 6.67, which is conducive to reducing air resistance, increasing the landing speed, and increasing the pressure on the target unit area. The interior is filled with aluminum powder mixed with D1 explosives, accounting for 41% of the total weight of the bomb. Due to the addition of aluminum powder, the explosives burn more fully and violently, the explosion pulse lasts longer, and the power exceeds 50% of the same weight of TNT explosives.

高脚杯可以在时速 270 千米的条件下从 5,500 米高空投下,到达地表时速度超过 1,210 千米/小时,可穿透 5 米厚的混凝土层,产生直径 30 米、深 24 米的弹坑。

It can be said that the goblet bomb was designed to destroy solid underground fortifications, bridges, tunnels, and battleships. It is also known as the mother of bombs in World War II.
