Chapter 925 Did the locust deceive us?
The 2nd formation of the Eighth Route Army's bombers flew over Nagoya City, then divided into two flight formations and continued flying eastward.

Each flight formation consists of 6 bombers.

A flight formation flew in the direction of Kyoto and Hiroshima.

Another flight formation flew along the direction of Osaka and Oita Prefecture.

Both flight formations maintained radio contact.

Finally, they dropped off the flyers and reunited near Nagasaki, then flew over the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, flew back to the motherland from the Bohai Sea, and then landed at Heyuan Airport.

"Navigator, report position."

At an altitude of 9 kilometers, instructor Wang Hexin asked loudly on the radio channel while flying the plane.

The map of Japan's mainland is a long and curved terrain. The width of the country is very narrow. At the speed of the plane, if it deviates, it will not take long to fly to the sea.

This time the bomber carried auxiliary fuel tanks, but it could only fly a maximum of 7 kilometers.

It would be embarrassing if we flew over the sea and then flew back to the Japanese mainland. When we finally returned to the motherland, we ran out of fuel and could not fly back to northwestern Shanxi.

Therefore, this flight cannot deviate from the route.

"There are still about 30 kilometers ahead from Osaka, and there is no deviation."

A national army navigator answered quickly.

As an excellent fighter pilot, every Chinese military pilot is an excellent navigator.

These National Army pilots brought a wealth of navigation experience and exchanged experiences with pilots and navigators of the Eighth Route Army.

As a result, there was no deviation in this bombing mission.

There was no case of the bomber getting lost halfway and returning to Heyuan Airport.

"001, Japan's radio channels have become a mess."

"Japanese aircraft from the airports ahead will take off to intercept us."

The telegraph operator who was in charge of communications and could understand Japanese reported to Wang Hexin in a relaxed tone on the radio.

This is the mainland of Japan. As long as you turn on the radio station, you can monitor the other party's conversation.

Similarly, Japanese radio stations can also monitor the calls of the Eighth Route Army radio station.

"Don't tell me, this Japanese guy is quite hospitable and specially dispatched a plane to escort us."

Zhou Zikai laughed on the radio channel with a cheerful tone.

Their plane was at an altitude of 9 kilometers above the Japanese mainland.

At this height, even the Japanese's most advanced Zero fighter jets can't fly up, let alone other squat fighters and bombers.

This battle was the most comfortable and enjoyable battle that Zhou had fought since he joined the army.

none of them.

It's more exciting than the "August [-]th" air battle.

Bombing Tokyo, blowing up the Japanese aircraft carrier Shokaku, sending leaflets on the Japanese mainland, the bomber formation was like no one in the Japanese mainland...

After this battle, Zhou Zikai also became a die-hard fan of Li Yunlong.

How would the "Yunlong BBQ" plan work without Zhou Zikai?
"Ha ha…"

Some pilots laughed out loud, and the bomber was filled with a happy atmosphere.

"All crews, move forward quickly, and after arriving over the target city, drop leaflets according to the original plan."

Wang Hexin gave the order calmly.

At this time, they were still in the enemy's home airspace and had unfinished tasks. This was not the time to be happy.

It’s not too late to celebrate happily when the bomber flies back to northwestern Shanxi.

A few minutes later, a formation of six bombers arrived over Osaka.

The Japanese aircraft formation stationed in Osaka took off to intercept.

But it is a pity that the Japanese planes can only hover below the bomber formation, just like escorting.

then.

As the bombers passed over Osaka, leaflets flew down from the sky.

……

Osaka.

Osaka is approximately 400 kilometers from Tokyo.

The people in Osaka, Japan, still don’t know that Tokyo suffered the largest bombing in history, nor do they know that the Shokaku aircraft carrier was attacked by a sneak attack.

At this time, people in Osaka, as usual, had breakfast and started their day's work.

In an alley, a Japanese instructor was teaching half-grown Japanese children how to stab.

The average age of these Japanese children is between 12 and 16 years old.

Following the orders of the Japanese instructors, the Japanese children held wooden sticks and stabbed forward neatly like sharp bayonets, while shouting neatly.

Each of these Japanese children are selected elites and are the reserves of the Japanese Army's Class A Division, especially the Osaka Division.

They received stabbing training since childhood, were baptized in the spirit of Bushido, and then entered the army to participate in shooting training.

Only those who are qualified can enter the Class A division and serve.

The Japanese instructor, named Jiro Miyamoto, is a veteran of the Fourth Division who was assigned to the reserve due to injury.

Although these people have been brainwashed by the spirit of bushido and loyalty to the Locust since childhood.

However, the Fourth Division, who was born as a merchant, was far inferior to other Type A divisions and risked their lives in the battle.

They cherish their lives and will not make unnecessary sacrifices. They cannot do things like suicidal charge for the emperor.

However, the Fourth Division is a Category A division after all, and its combat effectiveness is still very strong.

While training was in full swing, a continuous buzzing sound suddenly sounded in the sky.

Jiro Miyamoto and the Japanese children looked over and saw a large number of Japanese fighter jets in the sky, climbing up crazily.

woohoo-

At the same time, a shrill air raid siren sounded.

"Nani?"

Miyamoto Jiro saw this scene and noticed something was wrong. He raised the telescope on his chest and looked at the sky.

Logically speaking, Miyamoto Jiro is just a soldier and is not worthy of being equipped with binoculars.

However, he was put into the reserve army because of his meritorious service after being injured, so his superiors rewarded him with a pair of binoculars.

"Everyone, don't panic."

"This could be a drill."

Soon, Miyamoto Jiro regained his composure.

With a huge roar passing over Osaka, leaflets were scattered all over the sky.

"Instructor, what is that?"

Some Japanese people participating in the training pointed at the sky and asked.

"It's a leaflet."

Miyamoto Jiro's pupils shrank.

But soon, Miyamoto Jiro regained his composure:

"It may be a leaflet dropped by an enemy plane, no need to make a fuss."

Japanese aircraft also often dropped leaflets on the battlefield to persuade them to surrender, and they were often more effective.

Although the invasion of Japanese mainland by enemy planes surprised Miyamoto Jiro.

But there was an incident a few years ago when Chinese bombers entered Japanese airspace and dropped leaflets, which was just a joke.

The Chinese do not have the strength to carry out bombings, so they can only do small tricks like spreading leaflets.

"Leaflet?"

A Japanese boy exclaimed.

"Wait a minute and see what the flyer says."

Miyamoto Jiro thought to himself.

Although intellectually, Miyamoto Jiro knew that he couldn't read those flyers, he was just curious in his heart.It took a long time after the roar of the plane disappeared before the leaflets fell one after another.

People in Osaka, Japan on the ground picked up the flyers and read them out of curiosity.

Among them is Miyamoto Jiro.

"Nani?"

"The Locust Army was wiped out with 13 people in North China, and the Fifth Division was completely annihilated? The Navy sank 4 aircraft carriers at Midway Island?"

As soon as he saw the first flyer, Miyamoto Jiro suddenly opened his eyes wide with disbelief on his face.

"This is impossible…"

Miyamoto Jiro murmured in disbelief.

Last month, the government claimed that the Eighth Route Army in North China suffered a disastrous defeat, with more than 20 people killed by the locust army.

The U.S. Pacific Fleet was defeated by the Locust Army Combined Fleet and suffered heavy losses.

Victory celebrations were held in Osaka last month.

"fake."

"all fake."

Jiro Miyamoto muttered as he continued to look through the leaflet. This leaflet was a pamphlet.

Soon, Miyamoto Jiro saw a photo of dead Japanese corpses, densely packed together waiting to be burned, at least thousands of them.

There are many such photos.

"The killed Japanese First Army Commander Lieutenant General Iwamatsu Yoshio and his command sword."

"General Naosaburo Okabe, the new commander of the North China Front who was killed, is present."

"The killed commander of the [-]th Division, Lieutenant General Matsui Tairo and his command sword."

"..."

The flyer was very precise and included photos.

As a soldier of the Fourth Division, although he had never seen these generals or lieutenant generals, Miyamoto Jiro recognized the command saber in the photo at a glance. It was definitely a general's sword, and it was a gift from Tian Locust.

After reading the leaflet, Miyamoto Jiro felt his faith collapsed.

Miyamoto Jiro quickly grabbed another booklet from a Japanese boy and started reading.

The Japanese army killed more than 25 soldiers in North China, and 39 generals were killed, including the new commander of the North China Front, General Naosaburo Okabe, the Kwantung Army chief of staff, Lieutenant General Miyamoto Michichi, and the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu. Lieutenant General, Lieutenant General Moritake Tanabe, Chief of Staff of the North China Front, Major General Masabu Hirata, Deputy Chief of Staff of the North China Front...

This booklet is dedicated to introducing the Japanese generals who were shot, and also includes photos of when they were shot.

A full 39 Japanese generals were killed, some of whom have photos, and even the command saber was seized by the Eighth Route Army.

Miyamoto Jiro's hand holding the booklet was trembling.

The enemy's leaflets were not just nonsense, but contained pictures and truth, which made him believe most of them.

"Did the Locust Army really lose the battle?"

"Did the locusts deceive us?"

Miyamoto Jiro's face turned pale and his breathing was rapid.

"I warned you in 1938. If you don't discipline me, millions of leaflets will turn into [-] tons of bombs!"

"The thousand-ton bombs bombing Tokyo today are the fulfillment of the warnings made back then!"

"If you don't train me, the three million leaflets and kiloton bombs will turn into tens of millions of tons of bombs!"

"..."

"As early as the sixth year of the Showa Period, your country's warlords have been propagandizing to the people: Manchuria is the lifeline of Japan. As long as Manchuria is obtained, the people will be rich and the country will be strong. However, it has been seven years since the occupation of Manchuria. During these seven years, except for Apart from the military magnates becoming high-ranking officials and nouveau riche, what did the Japanese people get? Only heavy taxes, high prices, poverty and hunger, disease and death."

"Gentlemen, wait, wait, liberation will not come by itself. Now is the time for the people to fight for their freedom. You brother workers who control production and the heart of the Japanese warlords! Awaken your great power. ! For example, control the fate of the East, defeat the Japanese warlords, and fight with an alliance strike to liberate the suffering of the two peoples!"

"Those Japanese who helped the Japanese warlord government wantonly invade China are executioners and will surely suffer the most ferocious revenge. They will surely become the burial objects of Japan's Junguoism!"

"..."

This is part of the "Letter to the Japanese People" written by Zhao Gang himself.

The content of the leaflet was carefully studied and refined by Zhao Gang, and it said different things for different classes of Japanese people.

The words are sharp and touching.

The purpose is to cause conflicts among various classes in Japan.

As for the effect, it will definitely not have a good effect so quickly.

But when tens of thousands of tons of aerial bombs fall on the Japanese mainland every month in the future, the role of the leaflets will soon be reflected, detonating conflicts among various classes in Japan.

As Japanese fighter jets and Eighth Route Army bombers left the sky over Osaka.

The Japs and civilians walked out of their homes and air-raid shelters one after another, picked up the leaflets on the ground and read them.

Prior to this, the Japanese military had been promoting victory.

Boasting that "homeland air defense is impregnable, the rear has no worries, and the war can be fought with peace of mind." It is not a concern that both the Chinese and US air forces have been crippled. With the strength of the Japanese air force, it is impossible for any aircraft to approach Japanese airspace.

After reading the leaflets, the Japanese people suddenly felt a little shaken in their belief in the Japanese government.

The Japanese military was also slapped in the face by the Chinese Eighth Route Army Air Force.

……

Two bomber formations headed east.

All 300 million leaflets were scattered over a dozen Japanese cities.

Then the two bomber formations merged smoothly over Nagasaki, lined up in flight formation, and flew toward southern Korea under the "escort" of Japanese fighter jets.

At this time, the fire in Tokyo was still burning.

The Japanese fighter jets followed not long before returning home one after another.

After arriving in southern North Korea, the Japanese aircraft stationed in southern North Korea also took off to "escort" them.

However, the 2nd bomber formation, led by Wang Hexin, flew towards the motherland at an altitude of 9 kilometers and a speed of 500 kilometers per hour.

a few hours later.

The 2nd bomber formation successfully landed at Beiheyuan Airport in Shanxi Province.

The 1st bomber formation successfully landed at Shanxi Beiheyuan Airport about an hour ago.

As soon as Wang Hexin and others got off the plane, they saw a group of Eighth Route Army commanders, including the head of the headquarters, chief of staff, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, personally greeting them at the airport.

Even some big guys came from Yan'an.

"Report to the head!"

Li Shaorong, captain of the new regiment's flight group in charge of this long-range bombing mission, reported to the commander and Li Yunlong:

"The bombing formation successfully completed the combat mission of bombing Tokyo and the Shokaku aircraft carrier!"

"Please advise!"

The chief patted Li Shaorong on the shoulder and said in an encouraging tone:
"Well done. You successfully completed the long-range bombing of the Japanese mainland and returned from the mission. Each of you is a hero. Each of your names will be recorded in the annals of Chinese history."

This is the first time in Chinese history that the flames of war have been brought to Japan, which is of great significance.

"How are the casualties?"

The chief of staff on the side asked.

Although the flight crew had already sent a telegram to the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army on the way back that the mission had been successfully completed.

But when the heroes actually returned and landed at the airport, the smiles on the faces of all the leaders could not be suppressed.

"Four bombers were hit by shrapnel, four aircraft were slightly damaged, and there were no casualties!"

Li Shaorong answered loudly.

The bomber has rough skin and thick flesh, and can continue to fly as long as it is not fatally damaged.

This time the bombing was sudden, and the Japanese military had no clue of it in advance.

Coupled with the excellent performance of the bombers, Japan had no experience in high-altitude air defense, the Japanese fighter jets could not fly high, the Japanese high-altitude anti-aircraft guns were weak, and the Eighth Route Army bomber formations had good luck.

The combination of various factors meant that the Eighth Route Army did not lose a single bomber.

After hearing that there were no casualties, the smiles on the faces of the leaders, including Li Yunlong, became even brighter.
