Chapter 477: Delayed Detonation of the Bunker-Burners: The Heartbeat of the Underground Center'
As Chongqing's air defense sirens continued to wail, Lei Tao, piloting his F-35B fighter jet, shot like a sharp arrow through the clouds, piercing the cold fog-shrouded sky above Bohai Bay. The fighter's AN/APG-81 radar, switched to silent mode, silently scanned every inch of the Liaodong Peninsula. The holographic screen revealed the layout of Fengtian Dongta Airport, like a precisely dissected sleeping giant: Thirty meters underground lay the Kwantung Army's air supply center, fuel storage areas disguised as grain storage, and twenty Type 20 anti-aircraft guns lurked on both sides of the runway. Though their barrels were frosted, they glowed an unsettling dark red in the infrared field of view, poised for fire.
"Quantum camouflage 4.0, activated." Lei Tao's voice came through the breathing mask, accompanied by a slight hum. In an instant, the nano-coating on the fighter's fuselage flowed and reorganized as if by magic, distorting the fighter's radar reflection signal into a dense ice hail echo, making it difficult to detect in the vast night. Lei Tao called up the tactical map, his eyes sharp as a torch, and accurately locked onto the ventilation vents of the underground supply center - this was the best entry point for the GBU-57 bunker buster. However, at this critical moment, the DAS distributed aperture system suddenly issued a rapid and piercing alarm: "High-altitude heat source detected! 12 Zero-52 fighters, carrying napalm bombs, are approaching our aircraft!"
Lei Tao's pupils narrowed, a solemn look flashing across his eyes. Clearly, the Japanese had anticipated the air raid and meticulously deployed a high-altitude intercept formation. His hands danced swiftly across the console, switching to electronic warfare mode. The AN/ALQ-239 pods instantly released jamming waves covering the entire shortwave band. Simultaneously, the "holographic decoy" system was activated. Instantly, four virtual F-35Bs loomed in the night sky, speeding in opposite directions in a desperate attempt to confuse the enemy. But the Zero formation remained unmoved, accelerating their dive. It turned out that their bellies were carrying special infrared trackers designed to capture the heat source of stealth fighter engines.
"Interesting, it seems that the butterfly effect brought about by time travel has accelerated the iteration of Japanese equipment." Lei Tao's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sneer, and decisively pressed the drone release button. In an instant, thirty-six "Phantom Bat" micro-drones surged out like a black tide, and the microwave bombs carried by each drone began to charge rapidly. These drones use exquisite bionic designs, and the vibration frequency of their wings perfectly simulates the infrasound of the Northeast brown bear, successfully deceiving the Japanese army's sonar early warning system. When the first Zero fighter entered the range, the "Phantom Bat" group instantly detonated collectively, and the strong electromagnetic pulses intertwined in the air to form a death barrier. The leading Zero fighter instantly lost control and crashed directly into the anti-aircraft artillery position below carrying napalm bombs. (This plot and equipment are fictional, please don't take it too seriously)
The detonation was as violent as the dawn of daylight, instantly engulfing Fengtian Dongta Airport in flames. Lei Tao, seizing the opportunity, swooped down swiftly. His GBU-57 bunker-buster, like the Grim Reaper's scythe, effortlessly pierced three layers of reinforced concrete, striking the core of the underground supply hub. Instantly, the ground beneath Fengtian City shook violently. Fuel storage areas disguised as food storage were ripped apart by the powerful shockwave, and burning gasoline spread through the sewers, transforming the entire airport into a flowing river of fire. Twenty Type 20 anti-aircraft guns warped and twisted under the scorching heat, becoming useless scrap metal. The unfired shells in their barrels exploded one after another, like the Grim Reaper's firecrackers, heralding the end of the region.
"Abnormal heat source detected!" the system suddenly issued a rapid warning. On Lei Tao's holographic screen, deep in the underground fortifications east of the airport, an area emitting an eerie blue light was rapidly expanding—it was the Kwantung Army's secret storage of cryogenic liquid fuel, whose explosive power was ten times that of conventional fuel. Lei Tao acted decisively, launching an AIM-120D missile, using the delayed fuze mode, and accurately hitting the pressure valve at the top of the storage tank.
A devastating explosion erupted instantly, and Lei Tao, piloting the F-35B, rapidly lifted off under 9Gs. The fighter jet roared, tracing a sharp arc, like a sword piercing the heavens. A massive shockwave spread rapidly from below, mercilessly shredding the last few Zero fighters, reducing them to a scattering of wreckage. Simultaneously, the shockwave pounded Lei Tao's fighter, causing it to shake violently, seemingly in imminent danger of losing control. But Lei Tao, with his superb flying skills and exceptional mental fortitude, maintained steady control, managing to hold the aircraft steady amidst the chaos. From the window, he witnessed the awe-inspiring scene at Fengtian Dongta Airport: the airfield was shattered like the surface of the moon struck by a meteorite. A massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky, emitting a dazzling glow of fire in the cold night. The blaze was so intense that even Changchun, a hundred kilometers away, could clearly see this terrifying yet magnificent scene.
"It's time to retreat." Lei Tao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly activated the Bagua spacetime anchoring system. In an instant, the fighter plane turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the night sky. The spacetime ripples around the fuselage slowly spread like ripples on the surface of water. And at the moment the fighter plane disappeared, Tokyo's air defense sirens suddenly sounded - this was a false signal deliberately released by Lei Tao to create a smokescreen for the real evacuation route and confuse the enemy. At this time in Fengtian, the surviving Japanese soldiers looked at the burning sky, terrified, and muttered to themselves: "This is not an air raid, this is the wrath of Amaterasu..."
A Breath Across Time and Space: A Brief Tranquility in the Central African Safe House
The F-35B faded into nothingness amidst the folds of time and space, then materialized, landing securely in a safehouse hangar nestled in the dense forests of Central Africa. The robotic arms of the intelligent ground support robot immediately sprang to life: a laser scanner projected a blue-purple grid across the fuselage's surface, accurately detecting even a 0.03mm loss of stealth coating. A mechanical claw extracted the remaining missile launchers from the bomb bay, simultaneously injecting nano-repair material to repair every microscopic flaw in the coating. Lei Tao removed his helmet and allowed the intelligent system to perform a full-body stress-relieving massage. He breathed in the lingering scent of gunpowder and mechanical oil, and suddenly smiled—the smell of the modern battlefield was even more addictive than he had imagined.
"Smart kitchen, dry-aged Wagyu steak, medium rare, with wasabi and black pepper sauce." He finished speaking when the kitchen module's magnetically levitated grill plate began to sizzle. The steak's caramelized surface still trembled as the robot brought the plate. Cut open, the pink core oozing amber juices, reminiscent of the high-end restaurants of the 21st century. He forked a piece into his mouth, the aroma of fat and spicy wasabi sauce exploding on his tongue.
▍The Kwantung Army's Crazy Counterattack: Frost Falcon and Snow Wind
Inside the Kwantung Army headquarters, the new commander, General Yamada Otozo, slammed his fist on the "Manchuria National Defense Map". The urgent telegram on the table clearly showed that not only was the airport reduced to ruins, but the three months of aviation fuel stored underground, the blueprints of the secretly developed new aircraft engine, and 20 tons of precision instruments secretly imported from Germany were all destroyed in the fire.
What sent a chill down his spine was a soldier's report of seeing a "strange blue light resembling ice crystals" in the explosion's epicenter—the hallmark of a leak of the Kwantung Army's top-secret cryogenic fuel. "Stop the news immediately!" Yamada ripped the telegram to shreds, roaring furiously. "Notify the Intelligence Department to coordinate with the Kamikaze Sakura missiles and locate this ghostly fighter plane at all costs and shoot it down!"
