Munitions Empire

Chapter 1137: 1057 guessed the answer

The airflow made these falling bombs sway slightly from side to side. As they descended to a certain altitude, the locking structure of these cluster bombs opened, allowing the strong wind to lift the protective casing.

A huge gust of air instantly blew open the four-section casing, blossoming like a beautiful flower in the sky. The next second, the submunitions fixed to the internal structure scattered like fairies scattering flowers, left to be blown about by the air everywhere.

After two or three seconds, these melon-sized submunitions slammed into the ground, bursting one after another. The continuous explosions were like a storm sweeping over the targets on the ground.

From the barren open ground, the cluster bomb explosions spread all the way to the airfield covered with camouflage nets. The Zero Fighters and Dragon Bombers hidden under the nets were instantly swallowed by the blasts.

The anti-aircraft gun positions, which had just aimed their muzzles at the sky, were also lifted into the air in the next second, and then scattered back to the ground, crashing down everywhere.

Although at least two-thirds of the bombs did not hit their targets directly, this new type of ammunition still demonstrated good destructive effects on unprotected airport targets.

Just the one-third of submunitions that hit the target turned the entire field airport runway into a moonscape. The numerous craters instantly crippled the airport, and it would take at least several days of repair work to possibly resume normal operations.

And such results don’t even include those aircraft that have been incapacitated on the side: half of the airfield’s planes were disabled, most of them scrapped with no value in repair.

Without delay, the bombers that had dropped the bombs banked and left the battlefield, leaving behind the stunned Goblins staring blankly at the distant black dots vanishing into the sky.
