Section 9 The Bombing of Tokyo XI

The jeep drove into the airport, and the pilots who were playing softball in the corner of the airport stopped the game they were playing, which was brought by the Americans at the airport and was quickly liked by the Chinese, who set their eyes on the jeep that was speeding away, the car stopped beside them, and Xue Muhua stood on the car and waved to the pilots to come over, loudly announcing: "Good news!" Tomorrow we are going to Japan, and from now on, we have half a day to do what we want. /.0M\\ An operational meeting will be held tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning in the war room, with the participation of all captains and navigators. After Xue Muhua finished, the American officer Rejimi who was sitting in another jeep also stood up, holding the window with both hands to the American pilot in English: "1 guys, the next stop, Japan, hurry up and write a letter to your parents and lovers, and at the same time pay an insurance, if you are injured or missing, so that your family can have a guarantee." "There was no cheering, both the Chinese and the Americans looked serious, this is the second time China has bombed Japan, no one knows what greets them in the sky over Japan, and they can't come back if they are careless.

After six months of hard work, the conditions were finally ripe for the bombing of Japan, and with the approval of Chiang Kai-shek, commander-in-chief of the Chinese theater, and Wei Demaier, chief of staff, the Sino-US joint air force began to carry out the bombing of Japan.

According to the plan..., the targets of the Lou bombing were first of all the Japanese military industry, the steel industry, shipyards and docks, warships, and the method of attack was to bomb the targets with napalm.

"It's time for the man." Xue Muhua looked at the behemoth on the tarmac and was in a very happy mood. Xue Muhua commanded China's only B29 bomber group, and the B29 bomber was brought back to China by Wang Zhu just after the successful trial production technology, and China quickly changed a B17 bomber factory to B29

The aircraft factory succeeded in trial production at the beginning of this year, but its output was frighteningly low, and it could only produce two planes a month.

There are two B29 bomber dog squadrons at this airfield, with a total of 42 B29 bombers, of which only 16 are from the Chinese group, and the other 24 are from the Sino-US joint air group.

Martial law has begun around the airport, and the protection of the airport is divided into two layers, the outer layer is the GCD troops, including the GCD Jiaodong troops and the local guerrilla militia, and the inner layer near the airport is the Kuomintang troops, each airport is about the strength of a regiment, and there are also five anti-aircraft artillery positions, a total of 32 anti-aircraft guns.

The next day, the whole airport fell into silence and busy, everyone was sorting out their things, and the ground staff was busy refueling the plane, but Xue Muhua received a report that there was a problem with the two notches, and the mechanic thought that the two planes could not adhere to the long-distance flight, and Xue Muhua was a little annoyed that the flight plan that was being reviewed... Thrown on the table, Rejimi was also a little puzzled, but neither of them had anything.

"Maybe it's a good thing, first contact the mold, and then it will be smooth." Chief of Staff Zhang Tingyu comforted the two.

Before Xue Muhua could speak, there was the sound of jeep brakes at the door, Gao Zhihang and Li Mei jumped out of the car, and the two of them didn't say anything, so they pushed the door in.

"How's it going?" Gao Zhihang asked as he walked to the front of the flight map and looked at the map.

This bombing is of a reconnaissance nature, and if it succeeds, it will be followed by several more bombings, and after the reconnaissance is clear, a large-scale bombing will be launched.

"Preparations are underway that two aircraft of the United Air Force will not be able to enter the war." Xue Muhua reports.

"What is the reason?" Li Mei also frowned, Rejimi smiled bitterly and reported the report to the mechanic, Li Mei couldn't help but want to get angry, he asked with some incomprehension: "Don't you maintain the plane every day?" How was the training going during this time? "The daily maintenance and training are doing very well, but I don't know why this is happening

"The B29 is a very good aircraft, but it has a faulty engine." Gao Zhihang didn't want to investigate this matter, and if this matter had to be investigated, the problem of the pilot from time to time was the problem of the mechanic, and if it was serious, it might go to a military court.

"When will the plan be announced?" Gao Zhihang asked again.

"After lunch, all the captains and navigators met in the war room to assign combat missions."

Xue Muhua replied.

Whether it is Xue Muhua Rejimmy, or Gao Zhihang Li Mei, they seem to be very calm, but in fact, several people are suppressing their emotions, especially Gao Zhihang and Xue Muhua, the War of Resistance has been fought for seven years, and now the war is finally about to be fought, you can throw bombs from the sky unscrupulously, and observe the explosion of bombs from the air, but there is no regret in your heart.

After a short silence in the war room, several people began to discuss around the flight map, taking off from Jiaodong, not directly to Japan, but to the west, and then to the north, along the East China Sea towards Japan.

This bombing was not a direct bombing of Tokyo, but a bombing of Sasebo on the island of Kyushu, and the main targets were naval bases, ship repair yards, oil depots, and other targets.

This flight plan was formulated by Gao Zhihang and Li Mei, Xue Muhua and Rejimi did not put forward any opinions, Gao Zhihang proposed to go to the pilots to have a look, and several people left the war room and went to the place where the pilots were resting, the pilots were making preparations, some were writing letters to their families, and some people were sorting out their own things.

As China's first Super Fortress bomber group, most of the members are drawn from various bomber units, experienced pilots and navigators, but there are also a small number of new recruits, these people serve as machine gun shooters and ammunition men on the plane.

The B29 aircraft is the most defensive bomber that Gao Zhihang and Li Mei have ever seen...... On both sides of the belly and nose of the back of the machine, there are two high-speed machine guns, and there is also a 20mm cannon in the tail, and there is also a steel plate near the fragile fuel tank.

The entire flight cockpit is fully enclosed, and the bomb sight is a radar sight, which is currently the most accurate sight in the world.

After the formation of the bomber group, the whole group trained for two months before transferring to Jiaodong, and all the members knew that their mission was to bomb Japan, so they were very active in training.

"Nervous?" Gao Zhihang asked a younger-looking soldier.

"Not nervous." However, the soldier's look showed that his situation was contrary to his answer.

"When I first went to fight with the Japanese planes, I thought to myself that I would clean them up now, but when I got to the sky, I realized that the skills of the 1 devil were really good, in order not to be shot down, I was so busy that I found that my body was full of sweat and the flight suit was all wet." Xue Muhua's words caused a burst of laughter in the room, Gao Zhihang also laughed, he knew Xue Muhua's situation, this family is a flying maniac like Li Guidan, the sky is like a fish in water, the bird has wings, and he doesn't know fear at all, the first air battle is inseparable from the Japanese plane, but he didn't expose him, which is a great relaxation for the recruits, which can relieve pressure.

"It's good to fly a few times" Gao Zhihang smiled: "The B29 bomber flies at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and the Japanese Zero can only fly up to 8,000 meters, and you can only look at your stomach." "The data of the Zero aircraft has long been obtained by the Chinese intelligence agencies, this kind of flight can fly 10,000 meters, but in fact, at an altitude of 10,000 meters, it is likely to cause the engine to stall, and the pilot does not dare to fly so high, generally around 8,000 meters, and the cruising altitude of B29 is at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

Gao Zhihang is now a junior military rank, and he is also a well-known air hero in the Air Force, and he has a high prestige among pilots.

"Head, it still works, no matter what, they don't believe it, so believe it." An ensign smiled and said: "You don't know at school, the B29 is the most advanced bomber in the world, and 1 devil is only worthy of eating our bombs below." ”

The Air Force is a highly technical branch of the military, and the soldiers recruited are all young intellectuals; since the craze for young intellectuals joining the military was set off, young intellectuals have joined the army every year, and the Air Force has to recruit a number of pilots and ground crews from among these young people every year.

Everyone laughed again, and after everyone laughed, Gao Zhihang said seriously: "Brothers, the war has been fought until now, and the war has been going on on our land, 1 Japan is hiding in the ocean, thinking that we can't hit them, and now they use their bombs to tell them that the sea is not their shelter, and the war will be fought in Japan from now on." "Understood!" At the mention of going to Japan for the war, all the soldiers were excited, and they were almost overjoyed.

"We are blessed enough rabbit cubs, in fact, Lao Tzu is also blessed, Li Guidan and they want to go to Japan with a roar, but who let him only ride a horse, which is like us, it is a fortress, the horse can only run a short distance, Lao Tzu's fortress can go on a rampage"...

Gao Zhihang almost laughed out loud, Xue Muhua turned out to be a fighter pilot, and after the loss of the 109 he drove, he resolutely asked to be transferred to the bomber detachment. At the beginning, Li Guidan and the others mocked him, but now they envy him to death. Li Guidan and the others can only drive wild horses to wander in the sky now, and it is rare for a zero to take off, and they immediately rush over like flies that smell the smell of stool.

Li Mei looked at this group of Chinese soldiers with great envy, he had seen too many such soldiers in a year in China, they ate the simplest food, wore military uniforms made of simple fabrics, and received the least salary, but they did not complain at all: if this was to be replaced by American soldiers, Li Mei could not imagine what would happen to them.

After making a round trip, it was already lunch time, and the lunch here was obviously better than that of the army, and even better than what Li Mei had eaten at the North China Theater Command, but Li Mei knew that this was a blessing to the American soldiers, and if there were no American soldiers, their food could also be called garbage.

The afternoon combat meeting was very simple, everyone actually knew where to go, what to do, the flight chart was hung on the wall, the flight plan... It is sent to each captain, and the signal liaison plan is sent to each pilot and communicator.

"Ladies and gentlemen, all the plans... It's all here, no matter what, today we are going to Japan, the revenge bomb is ready, let's burn the war to Japan! A simple sentence immediately ignited the atmosphere in the war room, and it was reached instantly, especially those lieutenants, whose shouts almost lifted the roof of the war room, and the American officers stomped their feet desperately, and the wooden floor crashed into the toms.

In the past seven years, the Chinese land has been full of corpses, broken walls and ruins everywhere, barren mounds and lonely graves can be seen everywhere, and the cries of orphans and widows can be heard everywhere, but from today on, the war will no longer be carried out only in the land of China.

As the sun set, the surrounding farmers saw a shocking scene, huge forts rising from the runway, huge roars rang out for miles, and planes formed several huge phalanxes in the sky, whistling westward
