Section 429 The Rising Flame of the Island Nation
&"The target has been confirmed, the Osaka Arsenal Senior Staff Residential Area.||For every two people who look at romance, there is an account registered for the Coke ° Le ° Xiao ° Say ° Net. ⊙, 30 seconds to prepare for bombing. ”
"The insurance was lifted and the bombing procedure began. Old Kim, baby is over to you. The captain of the B4 bomber pushed a set of switches, and the steering stick in front of him was detached from the cable, and now the control of the plane was in the hands of the bombardier Jin Zengbing, one of Lao Jin's eyes was tightly attached to the sightscope, and the remote rod in his left hand was slightly pushed, and the plane adjusted its course slightly, and when the doji set the obvious small square area, the bomb bomb in his right hand was pressed down. The thermite bombs and napalm* bombs that had been removed from the safety bolts quickly broke free from the bomb racks like dumplings, whirled, and spun straight to the single-family housing area, which looked cleaner and more spacious than the surrounding wooden sheds, where the senior staff and engineers of the Osaka Arsenal were inhabited, and they would soon experience the scene inside the Fuji Pass.
The three three-plane formations behind also dropped bombs together, and a burning zone more than 1,000 meters wide and four kilometers long was formed in the flames that burst into flames, and in the burning sound of Bibi Lulu, the cry of dying was basically not heard, and most of the Japanese technicians and their families in the target area were engulfed in flames in an instant, and it is estimated that only a trace of gasification could be found in the wreckage.
Almost all the B3 and B4 bombers of the Chinese Standard Air Force were dispatched to bomb the Japanese mainland without fighter escort. The surprise caused by the last paper bombing to the Japanese has been smoothed out by time, and Japan's domestic air defense still has not improved much, and when targets in Tokyo, Kyoto, Yokohama, Kure Port, Yokosuka, and other places were set on fire one after another, not a single city could control the lights, not a single anti-aircraft gun fired into the sky, and not even a single plane from the fighter wing took to the air. Japan, on this night, was ravaged by a powerful force from the sky without resistance.
"It was reported that the 32nd Wing had completed the first wave of bombing. According to the observation of the high-altitude airship, the target damage rate was not less than 97%, and the first target order, the residential areas of teachers at the University of Tokyo, Waseda University, Hitotsubashi University, Tsukuba University, Kyoto University, and Keio University were destroyed. In the second order of objectives, the Tomosaka Arsenal, the Chiba Artillery Factory, and the Mitsubishi Engine Factory were all destroyed by more than 75%, and production could not be resumed in the short term. ”
"It was reported that the 36th Wing had completed the first wave of bombing. According to observations, the target damage rate was not less than 94%, and the first target order, Mitsubishi Materials Research Institute, Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Marubeni Shipyard, Toshiba Fukaura Plant and Research Institute, Chiba University, Tokyo Institute of Technology, professors' residences, and student dormitories were destroyed. In the second order of targets, the Yokosuka Shipyard, the Etajima Naval Academy, and the Isuzu Machinery Research Institute all destroyed more than 70%. ”
"It was reported that the 35th Wing had completed the first wave of bombardment. …。 ”
As the reports came together one after another, Yang Shihai, Wei Lihuang, and Yin Chengzong were marked with the number of destroyed Cheng on the map of Japan in front of them, which had only been declassified today.
"It seems that the bomber wing is still a little insufficient, the four long-range bomber wings are all dispatched tonight, and even the B3 of the tactical support wing is also more than half, and there are only three wings left to be on combat readiness duty and support the Luodong River." Wei Lihuang looked at the second-phase targets marked on the map with some pity, everyone knows that the first phase of bombing has the best effect, and if you go to bomb tomorrow during the day, the opponent's personnel will not be stupid waiting for you to lay eggs, and there may be Japanese fighter jets and anti-aircraft artillery units guarding the key targets, in addition to dealing with fixed targets such as shipyards, machine factories, power plants, stations, and bridges, attacking the opponent's personnel will be half the result.
"There's no way, we have used everything we can send, and even the instructors of the four major aviation schools have gone into battle, if I hadn't stopped me, Lao Yin would have planned to lead a squadron to bomb the bird's nest of the Emperor by himself." Yang Shihai is actually very satisfied with the strategic bombing force under his command, more than 800 B4s to destroy 74 phase I targets, basically all of them are soft targets such as residential areas or scientific research institutions, and the configuration of incendiary aerial bombs is mainly not very demanding on accuracy, and it is no wonder that the bombing is carried out under the guidance of radio beacons, and the effect is not good.
"Hehe, Boss Yang, don't talk about me, didn't you also say at the mobilization meeting last night that if there are not enough bomber pilots, fighter pilots will go up, and if there are not enough fighter pilots, all the flying ones in the air team will go up, and you will be the first to lead the team. This bombing of the little devil's nest is a good thing for the glory of the ancestors, and whoever grabs it with our air force will be in a hurry. "Yin Chengzong, Yang Shihai, and Wei Lihuang have been familiar with each other for more than half a year, several of them are air force generals who have flying experience, and no one is the one who sits in the office and grabs merit with a cannon, all of them are masters who can pick up guns at any time, so although the pilots are the eldest and my second child on weekdays, they are definitely grandchildren in front of these three bosses. Wei Lihuang was overjoyed on the side, and explained.
"It's got Lao Yin, anyway, the eldest brother doesn't say the second brother, everyone is old flying, let's hurry up and take a look at the effect assessment and briefing of the first round of bombing, is there anything that needs to be adjusted."
"Well, Lao Wei is right, I don't think the plane is a problem, the pilot is not much of a problem, and the flight plan is also very reliable, but I am worried about the logistics personnel, this kind of high-intensity continuous operation will have to last for half a month or even longer, and in the first round, except for the mechanical failure of two planes before takeoff, none of them had problems. This shows that our ground staff is indeed excellent, but this is done with plenty of time and the veteran ground staff can do their best, and then I am worried that with the increase in the density of dispatches, there will be problems with ground support support. Yang Shihai said his worries, Yin Chengzong also nodded, he knows the situation of the ground crew very well, now even the local aviation has stopped to make up two shifts of ground crew, if the high-intensity attack has been all the time, the pressure of these ground crews will gradually increase and their fatigue curve is exactly the opposite divergence, the probability of failure of the bomber gradually increases, it will threaten the success or failure of the entire operation.
"Also, there are no planes lost in Japan in this round, but our good luck may not last long, I wonder how we have done in the communication with the Japanese government, if the crew is forced to parachute, will they be tortured by the Japanese side? I've heard that many crew members have written suicide notes before going out on a mission, and they have all discussed, if they are really shot or malfunction and can't fly back, the whole crew will find an effective target to hit, and die with the little devils, and never let the devils catch them alive. This certainly reflects the backbone of our air force, but it does not conform to our basic principle of protecting commanders and fighters, and it is also an invisible psychological pressure on the crew, which will have a negative impact. ”
"I can't help it, obviously I can't tell the Japanese side before the operation starts, we want to protect the parachuting pilots. The pilots of the second round of bombing were carrying Japanese posters, and if they were discovered by the Japanese and allowed to surrender to the regular Japanese army, we would exchange them for Japanese officers and government officials who had been captured in Samhan. Yin Chengzong understands these problems very well, after all, he used to be a front-line pilot, in the exchange of fire between the planes on the Western Front, the downed ones are generally not lucky to land, let alone parachute, but the enemy pilots who make an emergency landing can generally be treated decently by the other side, and they are used to exchange their own captured pilots, which is also the customary rule of the air forces of the two sides, and World War I is still a battlefield of a gentleman's war.
Just when Yang Shihai and the others were counting the results of the battle and coordinating the daytime bombing operations below, Japan had already fried the pot after sunrise, and the big cities from Fukuoka to Sendai were smoking, and the universities and research institutes that ordinary people looked up to on weekdays, and the factories with roaring machines had all turned into ruins with flames or smoke, and half-cooked or charred corpses were dragged out of the fire with hooks, and some people tried to carry the corpses by hand, only to find that the skin was rotten as soon as they got started, and the work of removing bones and grilling chickens was done. The professors and engineers who enjoyed the compliments of the schoolgirls became the firewood in the fire, and the technicians and mechanics who lived in relatively spacious residential areas on weekdays, and who were looking back and forth from the poor workers and their wives, and now these coolie workers and their families sighed at the ruins of the houses of the superior people who were once envied.
In just half a night, 17 universities, 26 research institutes, 12 military enterprises, and more than a dozen high-end residential areas were ravaged by all kinds of aerial bombs, and all of them were turned into super-large open-air barbecue sites. Although the final statistics have not yet come out, the Japanese consortium has painfully found that the scientific research force they have relied on over the years has almost been destroyed, or regressed to 20 years ago, there is hardly a complete scientific research team, there is no key real estate room that has not been hit, and the loss of a large number of real materials and scientific research personnel has made them feel painful. Although neither the Military Command Department nor the General Staff Headquarters of the Japanese Navy and Army were hit (they were not among the first targets, Wu Chenxuan thought that it would be better to keep them to continue to make some contributions than to blow up these pig-brained and stubborn old officers and let those nimble young officers come to power). However, Jiangtian Island and the Army University have become chemical factories on the banks of the Ganges, and a large number of military education personnel and military academies in schools have become victims. Just as the whole country of Japan was rushing back and forth like an ant's nest filled with boiling water, the terrible air defense sirens sounded at an inopportune time, and at that moment almost all the Japanese were stunned on the spot, their eyes turned to the far northwest.
In the face of the Japanese bombing on the ground, the B4 bomber group in the high air lined up in a neat formation slowly opened the bomb delivery hatch, chose a good bomb delivery route, and approached the selected factories, docks, warehouses, army garrisons and other targets. On the contrary, some aimlessly wandering three-plane formations were like sharks smelling blood, rushing to the anti-aircraft artillery position with joy, and hurriedly dumping the goods in their stomachs. In the Japanese archipelago, the air pollution index has exploded again today.
