Chapter 1489: A big event is about to happen (first update, please subscribe)
Despite the pressure from the outside world, the war on terrorism is still going on.
On land, tens of thousands of Free Army soldiers received a large number of new weapons, even new weapons such as AR15. You know, before this, they mostly received Type 50 assault weapons. rifle.
Thousands of SEA special forces from across the sea are training these people and teaching them how to fight.
This is a "special war".
Meanwhile, in the air, the aerial strikes did not stop.
This year, the war was conducted in an extremely special state.
Tang Renda gave instructions to Victor, the bombardier sitting behind him.
“Let’s find a target!”
Their target is a defense base of the Central Jakarta Force in central Java.
In the past few days, SEAF aircraft have also frequently launched air strikes on its military bases because air strikes are needed to destroy the resistance of the Jakarta authorities.
However, when they arrived at the target, they found that the enemy had abandoned the base. They did not need to waste the bombs there until there was no further situation.
So Tang Renda summoned his wingman and accurately flew the second target, which was a factory. All communications between Air Force aircraft are encrypted by fast systems, meaning that no one else on the same system is trying to hear what is being heard, and what is heard is nothing more than a jumble of scrambled words.
Tang Renda looked around and saw that the sky was cloudless; almost a kilometer away, his wingman pilot Luo Qingshan was flying above him, with bombardier Feng Yankun sitting behind him. When flying over the second target, Tang Renda lowered his altitude to identify the target.
What annoyed him was that the power plant released a lot of steam. The steam obscured the target. The laser-guided bombs carried on the aircraft would not miss the target as long as they could follow the following aircraft and shine on the target. That beam. But to launch the guidance beam, he must first see the target.
"Knight, we are running out of fuel!"
Faced with the bombardier's reminder, Tang Renda could only fly the plane away angrily.
Two setbacks in one morning were too much and he was unwilling to land with his entire bomb load. But there was no target to hit, and the way home lay to the north. A few minutes later, Tang Renda saw a huge industrial area below.
“What is that?”
he asked. Bombardier Victor consulted the map.
"It's called Friendship Industrial Zone."
"The industrial zone is so big!"
"Yes."
Although neither of them knew it, in There are hundreds of factories in this industrial zone built with Soviet aid, covering an area of 10 square kilometers. There are both steel plants and chemical plants built with Soviet aid.
“Have you been listed as a target?”
"No."
"Anyway, go down and take a look. Haiyan, cover my rear wing."
"Understood."
The voice of his wingman pilot Passed over.
Tang Renda lowered the flying altitude of his F4 Phantom to 3,000 meters.
The industrial area is very large, with a large factory in the center and a series of steel buildings as big as a gymnasium.
“Throw it away.”
“Knight, this is not the target.”
“We must find a target to throw it at!”
After the altitude dropped to 2,500 meters, Tang Renda activated his laser guidance system and aimed at the huge factory in front of and below him.
The instrument showed the approaching distance, then gave him a readout of the last few seconds remaining to launch. When the reading jumped out of zero, the bombardier dropped the bomb and kept his nose still and pointed at the approaching target.
Laser guidance systems installed on the two bomb heads fly to the target under the guidance of lasers.
Under his fuselage he carries a guidance module called a "light eye". The "light eye" projects an invisible laser line at the target, where the beam bounces back to form a funnel-shaped electronic basket that feeds back to him. The nose cone sensors of the laser bombs reach the basket, get inside, and fall down the funnel until they hit exactly where the beam is aimed.
Both bombs did their job, they got into the middle of the steel building of the factory and exploded. The violent explosion blew up two huge plumes of smoke.
After seeing the bomb explode, Tang Renda immediately returned to the flight. He pulled up the bow of the plane and climbed back to an altitude of 8,000 meters. After refueling in the air, he and his wingman flew another hour back to the air force base near Yongding.
Before he pulled up the nose of the plane, Tang Renda had already seen the dazzling flames of the two bomb explosions and the plumes of smoke rising into the sky. He also saw the plumes of smoke that were about to be produced by the explosions.
What he didn't see was that the two bombs overturned the giant steel tower of the factory. After the steel tower was destroyed, a large amount of chemical gases were released in the factory.
This is a chemical factory!
Tang Renda also did not observe that at this time, there was no wind in the air.
After the steel synthesis tower of the factory was destroyed, a large amount of chemical gases were released, and a huge column of gas rushed into the sky, forming a mushroom-shaped air mass, which began to permeate the factory, and soon spread. Spreading in all directions.
After returning to the base, Tang Renda, like every pilot at the base, made a comprehensive and detailed report on the execution of the mission. This is a tiring process for the already exhausted pilots, but it must be completed.
The person in charge of hearing the report was Major Feng Benfang, the intelligence officer of the squadron. No one lied about their successes, but every pilot went to attack secondary targets. Except for one person. It was Tang Renda. He failed to complete the second goal and ended up choosing a third goal at random.
“Why did you do that?”
Major Feng Benfang immediately asked after learning that he had attacked the Friendship Factory.
"Because it's big and looks important."
Tang Renda answered honestly.
“But it’s not in the air strike mission order?”
Major Feng Benfang complained, while writing down the target he selected, its exact location and description of the situation, and his own bombs Damage effect reports are summarized and submitted to the Air Tactical Control Center, which operates together with the Air Force Headquarters.
“If you cause a lot of casualties, see how they deal with you.”
Feng Benfang warned.
“Hey, it’s just a factory. It’s no big deal. In war, accidental injuries are inevitable.”
In war, accidental injuries are inevitable. This is the most basic common sense. , the bombing during World War II can completely level a city to the ground. From Hamburg to Dresden, British and American bombers took the lives of hundreds of thousands of Germans, right?
Almost equivalent to 1% of the German population!
But so what?
That's the cost of war.
"You did something extraordinary, Captain."
Feng Benfang looked at the young flight officer in front of him and said to him:
"There is no target there, there is Reason! ”
Then left to write his summary report.
"It's just a factory."
Tang Renda pinched his nose, sighed, and walked back to his room to rest.
Nonetheless, he knew the Major was right.
If he really caused a large number of casualties, then the general might indeed take off his captain's epaulettes himself.
What Tang Renda didn't know at this time was that after he hit the chemical plant in the morning, the incident quietly changed.
After learning that the chemical plant had been bombed and a large amount of ammonia leaked, the first reaction of the Jakarta authorities, who had been hiding in the Bandung underground fortress for fear of being decapitated, was to cheer.
“They are finished!”
Hada shouted excitedly:
“Send our reporters and reporters from all over the world there, we will Let the whole world, let everyone see their atrocities!”
“Atrocities?”
Others were surprised:
“What atrocity?”
Hada said:
“This is an atrocity committed by Chi Guoguo, an atrocity against humanity. They did not hesitate to destroy the chemical industry. factory to kill our people, we must expose this atrocity against humanity.”
Since the attack, all Hada have been Looking for a way to end this crisis, no matter what, their bombing must be stopped. As long as there is no bombing, everything will be simple. With the assistance of the Soviet Union and the training of Soviet advisers, they will soon be able to Regroup and defeat the local opposition once again. Even if those opposition have the support of SEA, it doesn't matter. It's just a matter of fighting for a few more years.
Therefore, the top priority is to force the SEAF, their air power, to withdraw from the skies of Jakarta. In this way, they can not only sleep well, but also win this war!
But the problem is, when the bombing is going smoothly, how can it be stopped?
But now...the attack on the chemical plant and the leak of ammonia made him see another possibility.
It’s about creating big events.
“There’s more to our chemical plants than just ammonia…”
Hada, who had inspected the area, knew very well that it was not a chemical factory that only produced fertilizers. It also produced a variety of toxic substances including pesticides.
Now the whole world is not paying attention to this, but if the poisonous gas leaks from the factory, it will definitely change everything fundamentally. With this atrocity, the intervention of the United Nations and other major powers will be inevitable.
Just for a moment, an idea that shouldn't have even occurred in Hada's mind.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity..."
Sometimes, dead people are weapons! Only if enough people die can the international community exert greater pressure!
Shortly after the chemical plant was bombed, perhaps due to excessive pressure or other reasons, the pipeline was damaged, resulting in the release of a large amount of toxic gases. The poisonous gas quickly spread around.
The leakage of toxic gases in chemical plants is like opening Pandora's box. And because there was no one to stop it, no one shut down the equipment after the poison gas leaked. Hundreds of tons of poison gas turned into thick smoke and spread quickly at a speed of 5 kilometers per hour, quickly covering more than ten square meters in the surrounding area. Hundreds of people were killed in the process, and many more were killed over the next few days.
When news of the gas leak spread, people near the pesticide factory fled their homes. They used various means of transportation to flee in all directions, hoping to reach unpolluted air. Some people were blinded by the poisonous gas and could only fumble along the way. Some people died while fleeing for their lives, and their bodies were piled up on the roadside...
