Twelve "Dragonfly" transport planes formed a bomber squadron, sweeping past the bombing area marked on the map.
It was still the Pigman Brothers, who were experienced pilots, leading the team—navigating the guide plane at the front with the other eleven planes maintaining formation on the side.
By incorporating flight parameters such as altitude, airspeed, entry angle, and wind speed into formulas, the lead plane calculated the approximate bombing distance, issued the bombing signal to the other planes, then opened the bomb bay doors, and the bombardier started sliding the bombs, installed on rails, downward.
Although using transport planes to carry bombs was somewhat reckless from various perspectives, the lack of precision could completely be compensated for with quantity.
Air bombs fell like dumplings onto the marked urban areas, quickly igniting bursts of orange-red flames between the abandoned highways and skyscrapers.
