I am helping

At the beginning, 32 bombers of the Eighth Route Army flew over the Japanese mainland.

But because the bomber flew at an altitude of more than 1 meters.

The ground Japs troops in charge of security thought it was their own aircraft conducting training, so they did not report the situation.

but.

When the Eighth Route Army's plane descended over Tokyo, it began to lose altitude.

The Japanese security forces on the ground quickly discovered something was wrong and sounded the air defense alarm.

woohoo-

Sharp and piercing air raid sirens resounded throughout Tokyo!

On the street, Japanese teenagers who were participating in training, Japanese students in school, and Japanese people on the street were stunned when they heard the air defense siren.

Looking blankly at the planes roaring in the sky, the Japanese on the ground could clearly hear the churning sound of the 32 bombers.

Is this an air defense exercise?

Most Japanese people didn't take shelter in the first place.

Although the Japanese army was defeated in North China and at Midway Island, the Japanese government publicized the news of the Japanese army's victory to deceive the people: the Eighth Route Army of the Republic of China suffered heavy losses, and the U.S. Pacific Fleet suffered heavy losses.

He said that a situation like the last time US planes bombed Japan would never happen again.

The Japanese people feel a sense of security. Although they lost the war, the Japanese government has gained more and more support from the people.

When the real enemy plane flew over Tokyo, these Japanese people thought it was an exercise.

Until the hatch under the bomber's belly opens...

However, the Japanese's local air defense forces knew that this was not an exercise, and Tokyo was bombed by enemy planes.

"Tom tom tom..."

"Da da da…"

When the Eighth Route Army bombers began to drop bombs, the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower began operating at various air defense positions in Tokyo at almost the same time.

A dense rain of bullets was fired at the Eighth Route Army bombers high in the sky.

Even the Japanese on the ground could see the orange-red bullet chains in the air.

It was only then that the Japanese people realized that this was not a drill. They dispersed into birds and animals and took shelter in air-raid shelters or rooms.

But it is a pity that most of the Japanese anti-aircraft guns are 20 mm and 25 mm, and the Eighth Route Army bombers are at high altitudes, and the Japanese small-caliber anti-aircraft guns cannot reach them.

Although the Japanese also have Type 75 99mm caliber and Type 88 [-]mm anti-aircraft guns, they are very few in number and pose little threat to the "Flying Fortress" in the sky.

The Japanese's Type III 120mm anti-aircraft gun can effectively threaten high-altitude bombers, but the Japanese have not yet developed it at this time.

To bomb Tokyo during the day, the Eighth Route Army's flying formations had done their homework.

When the weather is good, dropping bombs at an altitude of 7 kilometers, although some bomb delivery accuracy is sacrificed, can also maximize the safety of each bombing crew.

And if you bomb Tokyo at night, you can lower the altitude appropriately.

Moreover, this time Li Yunlong's order was to set Tokyo on fire, not to bomb the Japs' Locust Palace, nor to bomb the Japs' arsenal. He only needed to set Tokyo on fire.

So there is no need for precision, just throwing incendiary bombs into densely populated areas of Tokyo.

Even if the bomb misses its target, it only needs to land in a Japanese residential area.

The flying fortresses quickly dispersed and dropped a dumpling-like density of aviation incendiary bombs towards the residential areas of Tokyo.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..."

A series of dull but huge, overwhelming explosions sounded on the ground.

The captain of the bomber No. 002, Zheng Shaoqiang, turned his head and looked down through the plexiglass.

I saw countless huge fireballs rising from the ground in densely populated residential areas in Japan.

Zheng Shaoqiang looked extremely excited when he saw this scene, with a sense of revenge on his face.

When the Japanese planes were plundering Chinese territory and bombing Chinese civilians, more than hundreds of thousands of Chinese soldiers and civilians were killed because of the bombing by the Japanese planes?

Up to now, Japanese planes are still carrying out massive bombings on Chinese mountain cities.

Not only Zheng Shaoqiang, but every National Army pilot and Eighth Route Army pilot, as well as the Eighth Route Army crew members, all had excited faces.

To deal with the Japanese, you have to do this, tooth for tooth, blood for blood!

"Ready to drop the bomb."

At this time, the Japanese anti-aircraft shells exploded around the bomber, and some explosion smoke continued to rise around it.

but.

Zheng Shaoqiang was also a person who had seen strong winds and waves. He quickly calmed down and gave orders calmly on the channel.

Since aircraft No. 001 and No. 002 flew at the front of the bomber formation, some aircraft had already dropped bombs, but their aircraft had not yet started dropping bombs.

But at this time, Zheng Shaoqiang and Li Shaorong's bombers had already arrived over the densely populated residents in the southeastern area of ​​Tokyo.

A few hundred meters away, the magazine door under the belly of Li Shaorong's bomber slowly opened.

The napalm bombs in the bellies of the two bombers separated from the bellies one after another and fell downwards like dumplings.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..."

As the incendiary bomb landed and exploded, dense explosions of fireballs suddenly rose on the ground in the southeast corner of Tokyo. Each explosion fireball left a flame after it rose.

Although viewed from a high altitude, the clusters of flames left behind were very small.

But in fact, each of these groups of flames on the ground covers a large area.

These groups of flames did not go out after the explosion, but continued to burn, turning everything they burned into ashes, like maggots on the tarsus, and the fire began to spread.

There were bomber crews carrying video cameras and cameras to record the spectacular sight.

……

Just when the bombing was going on intensely.

ground.

The Prime Minister's Office, the Japanese army base camp, inside the air raid shelter.

"idiot!"

"All fighter jets take off immediately and all anti-aircraft guns open fire immediately!"

In the air-raid shelter, Prime Minister Hideki Tojo was furious and hysterical:

"Down with all the enemy planes, leaving no one behind!"

The moment the air raid siren sounded, Hideji Tojo was carried into the air raid shelter by the guards.

The Prime Minister's Office is not only architecturally brilliant, but also has extremely complete facilities such as ground air raid shelters.

Tokyo was actually bombed!

Are they American bombers, Soviet bombers, or Republic of China bombers?
No matter whose plane it is, it deserves to die!

At this time, Tojo Hideji was sitting on pins and needles, with thorns on his back. The defeats in the North China Battlefield and the Battle of Midway Island in the Republic of China had already put him under great pressure.

At present, Tokyo, the homeland, has been hit by air strikes again, making Hideji Tojo even more furious.

Once Locust becomes angry, his position as prime minister will most likely be in jeopardy.

"Call Locust Palace immediately and ask if His Majesty Tian Locust is safe."

Thinking of Tian Locust, Tojo's scalp went numb. If His Majesty Tian Locust's jade was shattered during the bombing, it would definitely be a huge blow to Japan's morale.

"Hi."

A major general staff member quickly bowed his head.

Picking up the phone, he called the Locust Palace first and learned that the locust had entered the air-raid shelter.

Then, the major general's staff gave the order to the Tokyo Air Defense Command for the fighter jets to take off.

The order came soon.

In fact, there is no need for Tojo Hideji's order at all.

The Japanese's Tokyo Air Defense Command responded quickly, all anti-aircraft guns were firing, and fighter jets from the military airport near Tokyo quickly took off.

...less than half an hour before and after.

All the bombers dropped the 10 tons of napalm bombs they carried towards Tokyo.

Because the bombs were dropped from high altitudes, some of the bombs missed their targets, but because the target was an entire city, most of the incendiary bombs hit their targets.

And the biggest advantage of high-altitude bombing is that it makes the Japanese 20mm and 25mm anti-aircraft guns out of reach.

The Japanese's large-caliber anti-aircraft guns are incredibly powerful and there are not many of them.

The threat to the Eighth Route Army's bombers was minimal.

Two months ago, 16 U.S. B25 bombers came to Tokyo to carry out bombing operations, and the bombing altitude was even lower. The Japanese were not able to shoot down even a single U.S. bomber.

After that bombing, Tokyo's air defense firepower was enhanced, and more fighter jets were deployed around it, but it was impossible to increase the air defense power several times at once.

By this time, the first batch of bombers dropped incendiary bombs, and the fire had begun to spread.

Many buildings in Tokyo, especially residential buildings, are made of traditional wooden structures. The violent bombing of incendiary bombs caused multiple fire tornadoes in Tokyo, which are huge fireballs caused by high temperatures and air currents.

Fire cyclones can generate temperatures of over 1000 degrees Celsius and generate powerful winds that suck everything around them into the flames.

Due to the emergence of the fire cyclone, the fire spread rapidly to the surrounding area at a faster speed.

"001, this is 021, heading southwest, Japanese fighter jets were found."

The commander was calling Li Shaorong on the radio.

"Attention all crews. Attention all crews."

Li Shaorong will control the steering rudder of the aircraft while calling via radio:
"The enemy plane took off to intercept, the enemy plane took off to intercept, and raised the aircraft to an altitude of 1 meters, raised the aircraft to an altitude of 1 meters."

In order to give the order more clearly, Li Shaorong said it twice.

As Li Shaorong's order was issued, the pilots of each crew quickly controlled the elevator and pulled the aircraft upward.

With the huge roar of the four-engine bombers, each bomber quickly climbed upward.

The Japanese pilots of the Type II fighter jets and Zero fighter jets who came to intercept after receiving the order, looked at the enemy planes at an altitude of [-] meters, and could only curse Baga but had no choice but to do anything.

The Japanese fighter jets cannot fly that high, and even if they can fly that high, they lose their combat capabilities.

After the bombing, the Eighth Route Army bomber group did not leave immediately.

Instead, they turned in a circle and came back again, as if they were provoking the Japanese pilots, but also as if they were returning to admire their masterpieces.

This scene made the Japanese pilots even more furious.

……

"retreat!"

The bombers circled the sky for about 10 minutes.

Li Shaorong calculated the time, and the second formation of bombers should be about to arrive at the Japanese military port of Yokosuka.

The Japanese fighter planes around Tokyo should all be heading towards Tokyo at this time.

Therefore, Li Shaorong decisively ordered a retreat.

The wind tugged.

As his order was issued, 32 bombers gathered in the air, formed a flight formation, and flew towards the motherland.

Because it was a high-altitude bombing, the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower was stretched beyond the reach of the Japanese fighter jets, so the bomber formation suffered almost no losses. Only two bombers were scratched by shrapnel from the Japanese anti-aircraft guns, and both were minor injuries.

There is very little to lose.

……

Disappeared with the roar of huge bomber engines.

Only the Japanese fighter planes were left in the sky, moving back and forth looking for the sound and shadow of the bombers.

At this time, more and more Japanese fighter jets arrived, hundreds of them densely packed like locusts.

However, the Eighth Route Army bombers had already fled.

Where can the Japanese pilot find the enemy plane?

On the ground, it was like purgatory on earth.

More than 300 tons of napalm bombs were thrown into the densely built areas on the ground from all directions and locations. With the emergence of fire whirlwind, wooden houses were set ablaze, and the Japanese were swallowed up by the flames.

The Japanese fire brigade and civilians on the ground are putting out the fire.

Tokyo is the political, economic and cultural center of Japan, and most of the city is made of wooden structures. Tokyo's fire protection facilities are very complete.

But it was of no use at all, this was napalm and couldn't be extinguished by a little water.

Many Japanese fire fighters caught sparks and were directly ignited during the process of putting out the fire.

Even water thrown on the fire cyclone was used as fuel, which actually fueled the fire.

The fire grew hotter and hotter.

……

Prime Minister's Office.

Inside the underground air-raid shelter.

"Mr. Sifang."

"How's the loss?"

"How many enemy planes were shot down?"

Seeing the Tokyo Military Police Captain Major General Shigata Roji walking in quickly, Tojo Hideji looked at Shigata Roji and asked with a gloomy face.

Tojo Hideji has seven cronies, known as the three traitors and the four fools.

The three traitors were Lieutenant General Suzuki Teiichi, a nail-level war criminal, Lieutenant General Kato Torajiro, commander of the Northern China Military Police, and Major General Shigao Ryoji, captain of the Tokyo Military Police.

The four idiots are General Hyōtaro Kimura, a nail-level war criminal, Lieutenant General Kenrō Sato, Major General Sanada Shoichiro, Director of Military Affairs of the Army Province, and Colonel Masao Akamatsu, Chief of the Military Affairs Section of the Army Province.

Shifang Rongji reported to Tojo Eiji with a solemn expression.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the losses are still being counted."

"According to reports from the air defense department, no enemy bomber has been shot down so far."

"The enemy bombers dropped an incendiary bomb and the fire was still spreading."

Because the time is too short, Sifang Liang Er cannot understand the full picture of the current bombing.

"Nani?"

"idiot!"

Tojo Hideki was immediately furious, and his right hand tightly grasped the handle of the emperor's sword. At this time, he wanted to practice a wave of sword skills.

But soon, Hideji Tojo took a deep breath and suppressed his anger: "Have you found out which country's bombers were responsible for bombing Tokyo?"

"The enemy comes from China!"

Major General Sifang Liang lowered his head and replied very quickly:

"When Tokyo was bombed, our radio monitoring department heard a large number of Chinese words mixed in the radio channel."

The Japanese mainland was actually bombed by Chinese planes. Tojo's face became increasingly ugly: "In which direction did the enemy planes fly? Immediately order the fighter planes along the way to take off and intercept them. All enemy planes must be shot down!"

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister."

Sifang Liang's expression and tone were extremely helpless:
"The enemy bombers fly at an altitude of more than 1 meters, and our fighter jets cannot reach this altitude."

"idiot!"

Hearing this, Hideji Tojo could no longer bear it and drew out the sword in his hand...

at the same time.

Just when the first bomber formation of the Eighth Route Army returned.

Southern Japan.

Twelve "Flying Fortress" heavy long-range bombers have arrived in the sky above Yokosuka Military Port.
