The sky over the Huangpu River was covered with dark clouds, and hundreds of Tang Army planes above the clouds roared in bursts, giving people a great sense of oppression.

Although the Japanese army was ordered not to take the initiative to attack again, it did not mean that they were waiting for the Tang army to bomb them.

The rapid siren sounded, and more than 30 Nakajima 91 fighters took off from the runway of the Japanese army's Hongkou leased area, and the Japanese positions also began to prepare for air defense operations.

In the face of the national army, the Japanese army did not need to prepare air defense at all, so the Japanese army on the Songhu battlefield was equipped with heavy air defense weapons such as anti-aircraft artillery.

However, the Japanese army knew very well how they attacked the Nationalist army with aircraft, and now in the face of the Tang army's aircraft group, they were naturally afraid, and they set their machine guns on high places to act as anti-aircraft machine guns.

With a buzzing sound, when more than 30 Japanese fighters approached, the Tang Army's fighter group took the lead in diving down from above the clouds.

The Raptor heavy carrier-based fighters were extremely fast, and the Japanese army pilots had seen such a fast plane for the first time, and before they could see the other side clearly, rows of large-caliber shells strafed at them.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Several Japanese fighters were blown up in an instant, turning into huge flames, which were particularly conspicuous against the dark black clouds.

In just one dive, eight Japanese interceptors were knocked out. In the clouds, the Raptors carrier-based fighters of the Tang Army constantly rushed down, more and more, and there were more than a hundred.

They rushed to attack the Japanese fighters below, for fear that they would be half a beat slower and robbed by others.

There were only more than 20 Japanese planes left, and they were immediately frightened. They all turned around and ran away, where was the arrogance when they first came. In the face of the Tang Army, the psychological quality of the Japanese army was obviously not good.

But the Japanese pilots found themselves very sad at the moment. The speed of the fighters of the Tang Army was so fast that they couldn't run away even if they wanted to, so they could only rely on their personal jishu to constantly avoid the opponent's attacks.

The pilots of the Tang Army experienced several air battles, and they had an understanding of the performance of the Japanese fighters and the jishu of the pilots, even in a one-on-one situation, the Japanese pilots were able to get rid of the lock of the Tang Army planes at first, but soon they were ineffective after they ran out of tricks.

The 20-mm cannon of the Don Army's Raptor ship battle was very ferocious. Once the Japanese wooden fighter was hit, it was devastating, and when it was hit, the fuel tank exploded in a volley, and other parts such as the wing were hit and immediately broke off and lost its balance. The belly bullet was even more destructive, causing the control system to malfunction and the plane to fall headlong to the ground.

The Japanese troops below were chilled to see, and more than 30 Japanese fighters were wiped out in the blink of an eye. Almost one-sided slaughter. Turkeys fall in the sky. All were Japanese planes, and the Don fighters were unscathed.

The officers and men of the Nationalist Army were very happy to see the Japanese planes painted with plaster marks shot down, and they cheered. It's a pity that Shangfeng ordered not to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army, otherwise they would definitely take the opportunity to be ashamed.

At this time, the Tang bomber group emerged from the clouds, and the Hellfire heavy carrier-based bombers swooped down with aerial bombs roaring.

"Babble-babble-babble-"

The sharp howling sound made the Japanese soldiers suddenly frightened, and they raised their guns to shoot. It seems that the plane of the Don Army is going to be taken down.

Since the Japanese did not have strong anti-aircraft firepower, their machine guns and rifles could not cope with the armor protection of the Don fighters. Therefore, the pilots of the Tang Army calmly descended to the altitude until they saw the Japanese positions clearly, and then selected the high-value targets of the Japanese army to drop aerial bombs.

"Boom-boom-boom-"

One after another, 500-kilogram aerial bombs exploded like a thunderbolt from the sky. The earthquake trembled, the earth and rocks splashed, and the dust was raised hundreds of meters high.

A Japanese position of several hundred people was instantly flattened by two aerial bombs, and the position that had been built above the ground had now turned into a huge crater more than two meters deep, and the Japanese corpses, weapons, and sand and gravel were melted together by the high temperature, and billowing scorched smoke came out.

A six-story high-rise reinforced concrete building, the Japanese army had been defending it there before, and the national army could not take it after sacrificing hundreds of people, and it could not be bombarded with artillery, but two aerial bombs of the Tang Army blew it up and buried the Japanese army alive.

"What kind of bomb is this, how can it be so powerful!"

"It's just that, like an earthquake, we can clearly feel the ground vibrating under our feet for miles away, and the power is terrifying."

"Where is this? Just now we were very close to the Japanese position, and when that bomb fell, we saw that the group of little devils were all swept away dozens of meters away, and a good haode person was torn apart in the blink of an eye, and his left arm and leg were called bloody. We are a few hundred meters away, and the air wave blowing over you is like taking a sauna, which can lift you to the roots, and you can't stand on your feet. ”

In the distance, the officers and men of the Nationalist Army watched everything that was happening on the Japanese position, and the aerial bombs dropped by the bombers of the Tang Army were extremely powerful, shaking the hearts of every officers and men of the Nationalist Army.

They had also seen and deeply understood the bombers of the Japanese army before, and it was only a 30-kilogram aerial bomb, which had already caused the national army to suffer heavy losses and was daunting. At this moment, they were astonished to see the tremendous power of the Tang Army's aerial bombs, which destroyed the world.

"I heard that the bombers of the Tang Army can carry 500-kilogram aerial bombs, and it was this aerial bomb that sank six super battleships of the Japanese Combined Fleet."

There are also well-informed people in the national army, and when they say it at this moment, there is an uproar, and everyone is moved.

"The little devils of the dog day are miserable now, let them also taste the taste of being bombed."

"Thirty-kilogram aerial bombs have caused us heavy losses, and now the little devils are suffering from 500-kilogram aerial bombs, and they are doomed."

Some people also sighed: "It is also a Chinese country, the Tang Empire has only been established for a few years, look at other people's fleets can destroy the Japanese Combined Fleet, other people's planes are as easy as Lao Tzu abusing his son, and then look at our Republic of China, the black smoke miasma." What a fucking person is more popular than a dead person. ”

There was a loud bang, like an eight-magnitude earthquake, and everyone was startled. hurriedly gathered his eyes to look, but saw a sky-high fire burning in the Japanese concession in the distance.

It was an ammunition depot of the Japanese army, which was unfortunately discovered by Tang army bombers, but it was violently bombed by the Tang army, and the ammunition depot was blown up in a few clicks, and caused a series of martyrdom.

Originally, the Japanese army did not have a strong large-scale ammunition depot in the Hongkou concession area of Shanghai, but with the outbreak of the 128 Incident. The Chinese and Japanese armies fought fiercely, and there was no place for the weapons and ammunition of more than 90,000 Japanese troops, as well as the ammunition supplies of hundreds of aircraft. However, the Nationalist Army did not have planes to participate in the war, nor did it have long-range heavy artillery, so the Japanese army placed the ammunition depot in the open air on the playground of a Japanese elementary school, but when it was bombed by the Tang Army, it suddenly became a hell on earth.

It was a spectacular scene. The flames are blazing. The billowing smoke engulfed a radius of tens of miles. The explosion lasted for several minutes, and the fire spread to most of the Japanese concession, and countless houses were on fire, causing heavy casualties to the Japanese soldiers hiding inside, and for a time they wailed all over the field.

Although the soldiers of the national army hated the little Japanese devils and wished that they would go to hell, listening to their screams, I still felt my scalp tingle. It can be seen that it is tragic.

The fire was uncontrollable, and the thick smoke obscured the sight of the Tang pilots. This made it difficult for them to determine the target for a while, and gave the Japanese army a chance to breathe.

However, the nightmare of the Japanese army was not over, and the Tang Army soon received the highest authority to carry out indiscriminate bombing of the entire Japanese concession.

There were not many Chinese in the Japanese Concession, and after the Songhu War, the Japanese Concession had already driven away all the Chinese in the Japanese Concession in order to prevent the leakage of intelligence, so the Tang Army did not have to worry about accidentally injuring his Chinese comrades.

After the order for indiscriminate bombing was issued, the Tang Army's aircraft carrier battle group again took off the second wave of bomber groups, and since most of the Japanese air forces in Shanghai had withdrawn to Taiwan, the only 30-odd Japanese fighters were all annihilated, and the Tang Army's fighters, which had already seized air supremacy, reduced their cannon ammunition and allocated their weight to two 30-kilogram aerial bombs. Although it is not comparable to the two 500-kilogram aerial bombs carried by the Hellfire carrier-based bombers, it is now carrying out indiscriminate bombardment, and one more bomb destroys one more enemy.

Under these circumstances, in line with the principle that more is better, all Raptor carrier-based fighters and FC-1 torpedo reconnaissance planes were equipped with aerial bombs of various yields and operated together with the Hellfire bomber group.

For a whole day from morning to night, the Tang Army dropped 5,000 tons of bombs on the Japanese Concession and all areas controlled by the Japanese army, all the ground buildings in the entire Japanese Concession were razed to the ground, and more than 50 reinforced concrete buildings that the Japanese army had painstakingly operated in the Japanese Concession in Shanghai for the purpose of invading China were blown up, and even the streets were blown back and forth.

The bomber group of the Tang Army plowed the entire Japanese concession over and over again like a plough, causing heavy casualties to the Japanese army, and in just a dozen hours, less than 30,000 of the more than 60,000 Japanese troops remained, and all of them were wounded.

The Japanese minister in China sent an urgent note to the Nationalist Government, requesting that the Nationalist Government convey Japan's request for peace to the Tang Imperial Government. Although the Nationalist Government conveyed it on its behalf, it was basically lost in stone, and the Tang Empire did not respond at all.

"Wait, there will be news soon, don't worry."

A group of pro-Japanese government officials kept bothering Li Jianyuan, the consul general of the Tang Empire in Shanghai, but the reply they got can be summed up in just one word, that is, drag.

That's right, Li Jianyuan deliberately dragged out and did not reply, he had already received Zhang Meng's order, it is impossible for the Tang army to let the elite of more than 60,000 Japanese soldiers who fought in Shanghai return to China, even if it is a prisoner of war, because the prisoners of war will be released sooner or later, Zhang Meng wants to eliminate them, because he knows that no matter which country rises between China and Japan and Tang Japan, it will be the nightmare of the other party, and it is impossible to rise together, only one of the Tibetan mastiffs in a nest will survive in the end, and it will eat other Tibetan mastiffs, this is the law, the eternal law of survival.

The pro-Japanese officials of the government called a collapse, knowing that Li Jianyuan was deliberately delaying, but they did not dare to ask loudly, this is the natural fear of the weak against the strong.

The Tang Empire has relied on his own liliang to create a myth of the strong rise of the strong, and it is standing up against Japan, the third military power, and no one dares to take it lightly.

The Tang Dynasty refused to respond, the Japanese government had understood the intentions of the Tang Army, and in order to preserve its strength, the Japanese Military Command Department Kato urgently ordered the remnants of the Japanese army in Shanghai to withdraw into the public concession overnight.

Whether it is the public concession or the French concession, there are armies of various countries forming a blockade line. In the past, the Japanese army was arrogant and contemptuous of the armies of other countries. At this moment, he is like a lost dog, just arrived at the public concession boundary bridge. It was disarmed by force by the armies of various countries, and more than 30,000 disabled Japanese troops were seized by various countries in accordance with the neutrality law.

After Li Jianyuan learned of this, he immediately sent a secret telegram to Zhang Meng asking Zhang Meng to make a judgment.

After Zhang Meng found out, after thinking for a while, he immediately ordered Li Jianyuan to find out where the Japanese troops were being held.

On behalf of the Tang Empire, Li Jianyuan immediately sent a note to the consuls of various countries in Shanghai, expressing strong dissatisfaction and solemn protest against the hosts of the Tang Empire, and demanding that all countries hand over these Japanese troops to the Tang Empire for disposal.

In the face of the strength of the Tang Empire. The consuls of various countries in Shanghai have seen with their own eyes the strong combat effectiveness of the Tang Army, and they do not dare to offend the other side head-on when they know that the other party has made unreasonable demands. On the grounds of the Neutrality Act, they said that they would be repatriated to Japan after the end of the Tang-Japanese War, and said that all the more than 30,000 Japanese soldiers were disarmed and imprisoned.

Li Jianyuan retreated to the next best thing, saying that there were only more than 2,000 troops stationed in Shanghai from various countries. It was impossible to detain more than 30,000 vicious Japanese soldiers. The Tang Empire demanded that the Tang army enter the public concession to help guard the Japanese army.

In this regard, the consuls of various countries did not want to contradict Datang on this issue, so they agreed.

That night, a special forces detachment of the Tang Army, escorted by Tang warships, landed on the Bund, and then entered No. 32, Pinglu District, the Public Concession, where the students had already been dismissed, and all Japanese troops were detained within the school walls. It was guarded by armies from various countries.

The Tang Army joined the guards on patrol, but their goal was to seize control of the school.

It's almost dawn. The special forces of the Tang Army acted quickly, knocked out more than 200 guards from various countries, or subdued them, and did not harm them, but withdrew all of them to a safe area half a mile away, and at the same time, the Tang Army also adopted a strategy of expulsion of the residents around the school.

As soon as those ordinary people heard that the Japanese soldiers in the school were going to riot, they came out and burned, killed, looted, and raped the women who did all kinds of evil, and they were afraid to die, so they all fled overnight.

At dawn, the Tang Army's aircraft carrier battle group took off more than 200 Hellfire heavy carrier-based bombers, some of which continued to fly to the Japanese Concession to carry out bombing, while others flew to the Public Concession at an ultra-low altitude.

At this time, the special forces of the Tang Army had already placed huge attack arrow arrows with red cloth on the streets around the school, and the arrows pointed to the school where the Japanese soldiers were held in all directions.

The pilots of the Tang Army saw it clearly, and in order not to bomb other places by mistake as much as possible, they lowered their altitude and flight speed, and steadily dropped one aerial bomb after another into the school.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

A series of violent explosions rang out, and more than 100 Hellfire heavy carrier-based bombers threw more than 200 500-kilogram aerial bombs into the school in turn, with an error of no more than 50 meters.

The entire school was burned to flames in a minute and a half, and more than 30,000 Japanese soldiers were killed in the explosion.

Several aerial bombs spread to residential areas outside the school, but fortunately, the Tang army had already evacuated the people there and there were no casualties.

Britain, France, the United States and other countries immediately lodged a strong protest against the Tang Empire, and sent a note to Li Jianyuan saying that this was a blatant provocation against various countries and a dangerous declaration of war.

Li Jianyuan had been prepared for a long time, and resolutely denied that it was deliberate, saying that this was just a mistakenly bombing by pilots, and that the Tang Army accidentally bombed the school by bombing the Japanese concession today, but fortunately, there were no casualties from various countries except the Japanese, and the Tang Empire said that it would compensate for all the losses of this school and surrounding houses.

It's just an excuse, but it can give countries a step down, although they know that it is deliberate, but the Tang Empire has considered it very comprehensively when taking action, and it has not accidentally injured any residents in the public concession, since the Tang Empire is willing to compensate, it is impossible for countries to make enemies with the Tang Empire for a fait accompli.

"Conspiracy! Deliberately! It's so shameless! It's so inhumane! ”

Only the Japanese are still protesting against the atrocities of the Tang Empire, accusing the Tang Empire of slaughtering unarmed Japanese prisoners, but as the so-called weak country has no diplomacy, the Japanese military has lost the war, and its international status has plummeted, they just haven't adapted to this process.

"Enjoyable! It's so enjoyable! ”

"Well done!"

"Blow up those little Japs!"

The Chinese cheered in unison, all giving a thumbs up to the Tang army's actions. And those pro-Japanese factions didn't dare to say anything more at this time, because as long as they said bad things about the Tang Empire, they would soon be strongly protested by the Tang Empire, and the high-level officials of the government would not dare to offend the Tang Empire, so all the officials who said bad things about the Tang Empire had to be silenced, otherwise their careers would not be guaranteed.

The Battle of Songhu ended with an unprecedented victory by the Sino-Tang coalition forces in the joint annihilation of more than 80,000 Japanese naval and air forces.

Japan canceled the Songhu armistice agreement that it was preparing to sign with the Nationalist Government, because it was no longer necessary, and the 60,000 Japanese troops in Shanghai and tens of thousands of Japanese nationals in the entire Japanese concession were killed, and the huge casualties of more than 100,000 people were a huge blow to Japan.

Although the Japanese no longer signed the Songhu armistice agreement for the sake of face, they also knew that they could not win a war with China and Tang at the same time, so the Japanese government immediately negotiated peace with the Nationalist Government alone.

Even if the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, it was still impossible for the Nationalist Government to defeat the Japanese Empire, so when Japan alone proposed to negotiate peace with the Nationalist Government, Chiang Zhongzheng immediately agreed.

In this regard, the Tang Empire did not react very positively, but only routinely expressed regret, and did not prevent China and Japan from negotiating peace.

For the Tang Empire, Zhang Meng had no intention of negotiating peace with Japan, because he was still eyeing Taiwan, which was under Japanese control, and other islands in the Pacific Ocean. Once peace is negotiated with Japan, it will not be so easy to find excuses in the future.

"Let them negotiate peace, let's continue to fight, play majestic, and beat the Japanese devils to their knees and beg for mercy, and they are also called to the whole Shijie, don't think that the Tang Empire is easy to bully."

Zhang Meng smiled after sending a telegram to Li Haichen, this is just the beginning, and the good show is still to come. (To be continued......)
