The night attack on Tokyo completely hit the soft underbelly of Rì himself, who had few night fighters, and according to the habit he had recently formed, he went to the open sea to search for those American bombers who were laying mines, and when they got the news that Tokyo had been attacked on a large scale, they were still wandering in the open sea. Baidu search: read the novel // By the time they rushed back, the Americans had already finished dropping bombs, climbed to an altitude of 10,000 meters in one breath on the strong updraft over the burning Tokyo, and then began to return.

The B-29 bomber, having lost all its bombs, flew faster than even the night fighter of Rì himself. Coupled with the fact that they climbed so high, the night fighters who hurried back from Rì himself did almost nothing. Compared with the air raid in the original time and space, the losses suffered by the US military were even smaller. In the original time and space, the Americans were shot down 9 B-29s, and 5 more had to make a forced landing on the sea because of serious injuries. Of course, relative to the results of the battle, such losses are already small. This time, because of the hitchhike of General Spruance attacking the mainland of Rì, and the problem that Rì's own limited night fighters all ran in the wrong place, the U.S. military only lost three B-29s, and after two B-29s were wounded, they successfully landed at the alternate airfield on Iwo Jima.

Early the next morning, Li Mei sent another B-29 plane to take a spin over Tokyo and take pictures so that he could judge the effect of last night's bombing. At this time, the fire in Tokyo had just been extinguished. Of course, fires are not extinguished, but naturally extinguished after everything that can be burned has been burned. Almost a quarter of the whole of Tokyo was burned, and no less than 100,000 people were burned to death. Looking at the plane now, the burned places look like a big scar on the ground in Tokyo.

The B-29 did not carry a bomb at all, came lightly, and of course flew high and fast. With the xìng ability of the fighter plane, it is extremely difficult to intercept such a target. However, when the plane was discovered by the radar of the Rì army, Rì himself actually sent 6 fighters to intercept it in one go, and it seemed that he would not be willing to let it die.

Rì himself sent six Type II single-combat "Zhong Kui" fighters. Of course, by the standards of 45 years, the maximum speed of 600 kilometers and the firepower of four 12.7 mm machine guns are a little behind. However, considering the climb rate of less than 5 minutes to an altitude of 5 km, this is now the most suitable aircraft for intercepting the B-29.

Originally, in front of a mere B-29, Rì himself would never have sent so many planes. Moreover, the plane flew so high and so fast, and the coastal radar was so close to it that when it was discovered, there was actually insufficient time to intercept it. In the past, Rì himself would at most report the whereabouts of the aircraft to the anti-aircraft artillery unit, and would not have sent even a single fighter to intercept it. Because it's just a waste of precious fuel.

But today's situation is really different, last night, the American ghost animals attacked Tokyo, and the murderous American ghost animals dropped a large number of incendiary bombs, and many areas of Tokyo have been burned to the ground, and it is said that hundreds of thousands of people were killed and injured. What's even more hateful is that these American ghost animals are actually ...... He actually set fire to the Yasukuni Shrine! This! This is intolerable! So, when this B-29 appeared, Rì himself actually sent six fighters in one go, as if the more fighters sent, the faster it could climb.

The B-29 simply ignored the fighters that were still climbing at low altitudes, but flew towards the city of Tokyo at full speed, with an altitude of 10,000 meters and a speed of more than 500 kilometers, which was not something that the Rì fighter could easily keep up with. In the blink of an eye, the B-29 bomber had already appeared over the city of Tokyo.

The B-29 slowed down a little, circled around the area bombed yesterday, took some pictures, and then flew all the way to the top of the Emperor's Palace, where it made a few more turns, before turning around and speeding towards the open sea. And until this time, the fighters who intercepted it had not been able to climb to the corresponding height.

The practice of the B-29 hovering over the palace for weeks has once again alarmed and furious the Rìben army after yesterday's bombardment. Everyone knows that most of the light-duty bombers were used to carry out bombing effect assessment and reconnaissance missions. And what does it mean that a scout is circling around the emperor's palace? Could it be that the American ghost animal still intends to offend His Majesty the Emperor? It's infuriating to think about, and it's absolutely intolerable! But what about after the anger? This is not a game, no matter how high the anger value is, there is no terrifying big move to launch, it can't be stopped, it still can't be stopped.

So, after being angry, Rì himself immediately made two decisions: the first was to immediately transfer the emperor from the palace, and the second was to issue an order to the air defense forces to defend the emperor's palace to the death. As a result, the entire land and sea aviation on the Rì Islands were quickly mobilized.

It was eight o'clock in the morning when the reconnaissance plane left, and three hours later, the radar of the Rì Army spotted a large group of planes approaching Tokyo.

"Enemy aircraft formations spotted! That's a lot! Radar soldier Okada shouted.

The vague reporting method of "a large number" is also forced to be helpless, because Rì's own radar technology has not yet developed to the point where it can accurately detect the number of low-level attacks.

"The enemy aircraft is at a distance of 70 kilometers, at an altitude of 7000 meters, and at a speed of 480 kilometers per hour." Okada quickly reported this series of numbers, while thinking to himself: "This looks like a bomber, I'm afraid there are more than two hundred?" Flying at this altitude, our fighters can reach it. ”

When judging the type of enemy aircraft, the radar of the Rì Army mainly relies on the intensity of the radar echo of the enemy aircraft and the detection of the flight status to make inferences.

"Sure enough!" Almost all of the personnel who were notified had such a sentence popping up in their heads. At this time, except for a few fighters that were already cruising in the sky (the Rì army was extremely short of fuel and could not support too many planes to stand by in the air), the other fighters were also in combat readiness, and the pilots were already fully dressed and sitting in the cockpit.

With the order of the superiors, countless rìben fighters took off one after another, preparing to intercept these hateful American ghost animals.

……

More than 600 fighters are flying in a formation of four planes at an altitude of 7,000 meters. The formations were quite dense, with the distance between each plane and his teammates being only about two meters. In this day and age, radars simply cannot distinguish such dense targets, and they can easily interpret such a formation as a heavy bomber. And now, the flight altitude and speed adopted by these American fighters are also very similar to the habits of bomber forces. So, Ron could almost be sure that the enemy would definitely judge them as a bomber group.

Last night's bombing should have made Rì himself angry, and this morning's teasing would have made them mistakenly believe that the Emperor's Palace would be targeted, and the current fleet of planes, in Rì's own opinion, almost confirmed their fears, and they would definitely think that these "bombers" were heading for the Emperor's Palace. Therefore, these rì themselves will definitely send planes into the air to intercept them, and when these rì planes climb up, they find that the opponent is not bombers, but a large number of American fighters, and most of them will be dumbfounded? Ron thought so, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

……

Naoto Komatsu was trying to climb in his Type 5 Hurricane. At the same time, the sound of ground guidance was constantly heard on the radio:

"Turn to 014 and continue to climb at maximum climb rate!"

The opponent is the bomber, which means that the initiative in the engagement is on its side. The fighter can choose the timing of the battle in the battle with the bomber, and the bomber can only passively wait for the fighter to attack. Therefore, if you climb with a greater rate of climb, even if the horizontal speed decreases a little, is it nothing, can the enemy bombers take advantage of the low horizontal speed of the fighters to take the initiative to attack them?

……

Now a mixed formation of P-51 and P-81 fighters has reached the skies over Tokyo Bay. At this time, below ten o'clock and two o'clock in their time, the figure of the rì Ben fighter appeared.

"Disband the dense formation! Get ready for battle! Major Lodel, the squadron leader of the P-81 fighter formation flying at the front, gave the order, and then he pushed the throttle valve to the end at once, and the two twin wasp engines roared wildly, and the P-81, which was flying at a lower speed of 480 kilometers, slammed forward, and the pointer on the speedometer also turned rapidly, and in a short time, the P-81 accelerated to nearly 600 kilometers per hour.

……

The formation of the American army had already appeared in Komatsu's field of vision, and it looked like bombers from a distance, but in the blink of an eye, those enemy planes that looked like heavy bombers were scattered all at once.

"Could it be that God blessed the enemy plane to disintegrate in the air by itself?" Komatsu suddenly had such a strange thought in his head. But in a blink of an eye, he understood that it was not that the enemy planes had disintegrated in the air, but that those so-called heavy bombers were actually just US fighters in dense formations. Now, they are in a lower and easier position in the battle that is about to begin with the US fighter jets.
