Chapter 636: Surprise Attack on the Japanese mainland

Hitting out the strategic intentions of the Japanese army is what Han Yunhua wants to do the most now, after all, this action of the Japanese army is too weird, if you don't understand the final intention of the Japanese army, if you make irreparable mistakes in strategy, the final result will be disastrous.

Although Qian Zhuangfei told Han Yunhua that the army could still hold on to a large-scale battle, Han Yunhua knew that it was just reluctantly, and the large-scale war for three consecutive months had exhausted all the war resources in the inventory of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and now not only the army lacked ammunition supplies, but even there was a big gap in cotton clothes and quilts, fortunately, last year was a bumper harvest year, and Han Yunhua's agricultural policy in the northern region also played a role. Although the masses of the people eat bud rice noodles and boiled potatoes in clear water, fortunately, the portion is sufficient, and there has not been a starvation death incident in the jurisdiction of the Inner Mongolia Military Region for a long time.

The lack of materials has greatly restricted the development of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and more than a month of rest and recuperation has not been able to fully recover the troops, so Han Yunhua thought about it and felt that he could not use the army to fight the little devils, that the consumption was too great, and it was still cost-effective to use the air force, anyway, all the supplies and supplements of the air force were provided by the allies. Moreover, the joint command has already formulated an operational plan for an air attack on the Japanese mainland, but due to some other concerns, Han Yunhua has not approved this operational plan, but now that it has reached this point, Han Yunhua really wants to see the expression of the little devil after being bombed on the mainland. If the Japanese army continues to increase troops on the Chinese battlefield at this time, then it means that the little devil is planning to carry out the battle of the mainland communication station in advance, and vice versa.

The Inner Mongolia Military Region has less than 100 long-range bombers, although they are all the latest American bombers, but the number is limited, and the bomb load of the B-29 strategic bombers is too small, which greatly reduces the bombing effect. Fortunately, Han Yunhua only wanted to deter the Japanese this time and let them know that China's large-scale fleet of aircraft could also reach the Japanese mainland.

Originally, Han Yunhua was very worried about letting a high-ranking officer like Shangguan Qingyun personally go into battle, but he himself was a complete adventurous element, so after repeatedly confirming that it was Shangguan Qingyun's own request, he approved this battle plan.

The planes took off from the Shenyang airfield, a total of 155 fighters, including 105 bombers and 50 fighters escort. According to the battle plan drawn up in advance, the group was loaded with bombs and flew from the north to bypass Korea and go straight to the Japanese mainland. Because once the fleet is discovered by the Japanese in Korea, then Japan is likely to be prepared, so Han Yunhua demanded that the first strategic bombing of the Japanese mainland must be concealed, and after consultation with the Soviet side, the Soviet side agreed to borrow the route of the joint air force.

Since the beginning of the war, the Japanese mainland has only been harassed twice, and the reason why it is called a harassment rather than an attack is precisely because these two air raids did not cause substantial damage to the Japanese mainland. The feat of the first air attack on Japan was accomplished by the Chinese, and soon after the start of the war, the Chinese Air Force sent two bombers to attack the Japanese mainland, but this time the planes were not loaded with aerial bombs, but with leaflets promoting peace, although it had a certain impact on the Japanese people, but it was only a small impact. As for the second successful raid on the Japanese mainland, it was the US Air Force, this air raid was carried out by the US Air Force Captain Dollett, although the damage caused by this air raid to the Japanese mainland was also not great, but it led to the Japanese government and the military department to make a major wrong decision, the threatened Japanese government ordered the Japanese Combined Fleet to attack the US fleet at Midway, but it suffered a major defeat, so that the Japanese Navy began to decline. …,

Han Yunhua is very clear about the truth that if you don't die, you will suffer from it, so he has always strictly pursued the combat concept of killing with one blow. This time too, Han Yunhua ordered the United Air Force to throw heavy bombs on the heads of the Japanese this time, and Han Yunhua deliberately replaced the loaded heavy high-explosive bombs with heavy incendiary bombs. Han Yunhua knew that the buildings of many cities in Japan were mainly civil engineering, which was light in weight and easy to repair, which was very suitable for Japan, a country with many earthquakes, but such a building structure was very afraid of fire, so Han Yunhua ordered the air force to use incendiary bombs.

Han Yunhua was silent for a long time after seeing the air force fleet take off, he was an officer from a later generation, and from the first day he joined the army, the instructor told him what he was doing to be a soldier. Serving as a soldier is not for survival, let alone for promotion and wealth, the military uniform on the body is a responsibility and a mission, and the soldier must be for the purpose of protecting the country's sovereignty from infringement and the people from being harassed.

Moreover, his instructors have always emphasized to them that fighting a war is only a duel between soldiers and soldiers, and ordinary people and soldiers must not be treated equally. Therefore, Han Yunhua has rarely ordered troops to kill Japanese people, even if hundreds of thousands of Japanese expatriates have been captured, but Han Yunhua's usual practice is to let them work the Chinese chassis for several years to pay off their debts, and then find a way to send them back to Japan. However, this time it was different, the planes loaded with bombs were of course going to bomb Japan, but Japan was just a term in a broad sense, and it was the Japanese people who really had to bear the wrath of these bombs.

The power of the incendiary bomb Han Yunhua knows, with the Japanese building structure, the number of people killed and injured this time is certainly not a small number, and the vast majority of them are innocent Japanese civilians, although now there are few Japanese civilians who are absolutely innocent, after all, the vast majority of the ammunition is from the hands of these Japanese civilians, and how many of them sent their sons, husbands, and fathers to the Chinese battlefield. Although there are so many although, there is one thing that really cannot be changed, that is, they are all civilians, they can't and dare not fight against the war machine of the entire Japanese Empire, it was not Han Yunhua's original intention to attack these people, but now it is necessary to carry out strategic bombing of Japan, and it has to be done as a last resort, so Han Yunhua's heart is full of melancholy.

The Japanese can disregard the international image of the Chinese civilians, and even carried out a brutal massacre, as an angry youth, Han Yunhua also wanted to personally lead 100,000 tiger and wolf brigades, leaping horses and swords into Tokyo. But after all, people are human beings, not those Japanese beasts who have no one to raise, and when Han Yunhua really sent troops to bomb Japan, he inevitably felt a sense of guilt in his heart.

Putting away these complicated feelings, Han Yunhua returned to his headquarters, now his life is to fight, although he is in Shenyang with his wife, but the number of times the two meet is very small, Han Yunhua knows that Li Yuhan does not like to lead troops to fight, and it is indeed not suitable for military life, so Han Yunhua transferred Li Yuhan to work in the civil affairs department, responsible for education in Shenyang, although in this way Li Yuhan's level has dropped several levels, from the deputy political commissar of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army to the education commissioner in Shenyang all of a sudden, The difference between them is not measured in miles.

However, Han Yunhua and his wife are very satisfied, although this education commissioner does not have much power and does not have many people in charge, there are only more than 100 schools, and they are all dilapidated schools built during the Japanese pseudo-period, and there is not a single decent one. Moreover, Li Yuhan has always been influenced by her mother, and she is also very interested in teaching and educating people, and now she is very satisfied with being transferred to Shenyang as an education commissioner. …,

Moreover, Han Yunhua himself knows what education means to a nation and a country, so he still implements the experience of the Inner Mongolia Military Region in the northern part of the country, that every county must have a middle school, every township must have a primary school, and every province must have a decent university. Children who can afford to go to school must go to school, and if their families are really poor, the school can even be exempted from paying tuition.

With the strong support of Han Yunhua, the education in the entire Northeast region has suddenly made great improvements. Schools of all sizes have sprung up like mushrooms. It also caused Li Yuhan, the education commissioner, to be busy like a spinning top every day, but she herself enjoyed it.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the good news came, and the group of planes that attacked Japan arrived on the Japanese mainland very smoothly, first carrying out a strategic bombing of Nagasaki, and then even directly attacking Tokyo, the capital of Japan, and more than 100 bombers carried out an unprecedented carpet bombing of the entire Tokyo urban area; because the officers of the air force did not know the terrain of Tokyo and had no concept of the strategic points of Tokyo, except for the ships anchored in the harbor, which were relatively obvious targets, the rest of this had to be distinguished by the officers themselves.

The whole bombing process was only carried out for less than ten minutes before it ended, although it was also intercepted by the Japanese air force that forcibly took off, but because the attack was a little too late, in front of the huge escort group, the little devil's hasty battle seemed very insignificant, and this time Han Yunhua gave the order to the combined air force but left after the fight, refusing to entangle with the big force of the little devils, so Shangguan Qingyun ordered the air force to return after throwing the bomb.

Although the whole bombing process was brief, the impact was sensational, and almost at the same time, the world's mainstream media announced the news to the world through radio, although both the United States and the Soviet Union still wanted to show their great achievements in this surprise attack on the Japanese mainland when they reported it, but they did not depart from the facts, and Han Yunhua was once again known to the people of the world.

In the evening, Han Yunhua held a grand celebratory dinner at the Shenyang Air Base for the returning United Air Force pilots, at which Han Yunhua sang "Serving the Country with Loyalty" with great interest, attracting hundreds of people to sing in unison.

The impact of this bombing on Japan was so great that Emperor Hirohito urgently summoned the new Prime Minister Koiso Kuniaki that night.

Emperor Hirohito did not ask about the losses caused by this bombing, but the panic caused by this bombing made Emperor Hirohito feel uneasy, and every time he thought of the two bombs that fell into the palace, fortunately they only blew up at the gate of the palace and did not explode in his own bedroom, otherwise he might really have to go to see his eloquent and iron-blooded father.

Emperor Hirohito demanded that the Cabinet and the base camp immediately eliminate the effects of the air raid, and at the same time severely condemned the Chinese army's wanton massacre of the Japanese people, and at the same time demanded that the Japanese Cabinet Foreign Ministry immediately announce to the world the data on the casualties of the air raid, and at the same time make some appropriate changes on the original basis.

Soon after, the Japanese government held a press conference on the air raid and informed the world of the casualties of the air raid, which killed and injured 9,726 people in Nagasaki. 23,000 houses and shops were burned, and Tokyo was densely populated, so the casualties were even more serious, although the fire is still burning, but the number of casualties has been preliminarily determined to be 28,000, more than 80,000 houses were burned, because the Chinese Air Force used high-explosive incendiary bombs, so now the Tokyo urban area is still fighting fires, a small half of the Tokyo urban area is on fire, the fire is very large, and the casualties are expected to increase.

Although the bombing of Nagasaki and Tokyo by the Chinese Air Force certainly caused many deaths, it would never have caused such heavy casualties, and the number of people killed in each bombing was already surprising enough, let alone tens of thousands. …,

Han Yunhua didn't pay any attention to the protests of the Japanese, although he felt a little guilty about causing so many Japanese civilian deaths, but war is like this, war has iron laws, and opportunities are equal for both sides of the war, when the Japanese flew their Mitsubishi Heavy Industries or Suzuki Heavy Industries fighters in the blue sky of China, when they threw one evil bomb after another on the heads of Chinese civilians without scruples, they had to pay the price for what they had done.

The central government is very worried that Western countries will raise objections to this, after all, the attitude of Westerners towards civilians and soldiers is completely different, and even the massacre of prisoners of war by Kuomintang troops must be punished, not to mention the use of bombs in Japanese cities without scruples like Han Yunhua.

But Han Yunhua knows that the reason why Western countries do this is on the one hand to maintain their so-called gentlemanly demeanor, and on the other hand, because the flames of war have not burned to their homes, standing and talking without back pain, that's all. When their interests are threatened, they will be even more cruel than we think. Historically, Germany's air raids on Britain almost bombed London into ruins, and the Allied bombing of Germany at the end of World War II completely destroyed Berlin, after the war, the Germans said that it would take 20 years to remove the rubble in the ruins of Berlin alone, and in the Pacific Theater, the United States was the air raid on the Japanese mainland that lasted for two years, and at the end of the period, two atomic bombs were directly dropped, turning two Japanese cities directly into two dead cities. None of them are civilians, obviously this is not the case, so Han Yunhua is not worried that the Soviet Union, the United States, Britain and other countries will jump out and accuse him, but will support him to continue to attack Japan in order to squeeze out Japan's war potential.

On 29 March, the US Congress passed a bill to once again support the Joint Air Force Command's 300 strategic bombers and 200 6F6 fighters. The Soviet Government, on the other hand, was willing to expand the output of the Inner Mongolia Military Region's bomb factory on the existing basis, so that the output of 107 bombs a day soared to 390 at once, and at the same time, it also increased the amount of support for the fuel resources of the United Air Force.

With the support of the United States and the Soviet Union, Han Yunhua ordered Shangguan Qingyun to continue to formulate a combat plan for bombing Japan, and uninterruptedly sent aircraft groups to bomb the Japanese mainland, forcing Japan to draw troops from various battlefields to protect the Japanese people.

However, to Han Yunhua's surprise, the reaction of the Japanese was completely different from what he imagined, although the number of Japanese cruising fighters had obviously increased a lot, and there were hundreds of fighters parked in the three large military airports around the eastward march alone, and it was probably impossible for hundreds of other airports across the country not to have a few thousand fighters. However, they did not see Japan's most elite naval aviation units, let alone Japan's troop transfer from various battlefields.

Han Yunhua sniffed out some uneasiness from this, this is really unusual, the Japanese have always attached great importance to their small islands, but this time it turned out to be a little careless, Han Yunhua looked at the dynamics of the Japanese army during this period of time in detail, and then Han Yunhua could almost judge that the Japanese would definitely carry out this strategic decisive battle for the purpose of defense in advance.

On the one hand, Han Yunhua ordered the troops to step up training, and on the other hand, he secretly transferred the elite troops of the military region to southern Hebei. At the same time, Han Yunhua ordered the military industry department to step up the production of ammunition and clothing, and Han Yunhua knew very well that the final result of this battle of the mainland's communication line was not something that could be described as miserable. Historically, the battle lasted for nearly eight months, and the Kuomintang army lost 500,000 or 600,000 troops, discarding most or part of Henan, Hunan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Guizhou, and other provinces, so that more than 200,000 square kilometers of land fell into the hands of the enemy, and more than 6,000,000 compatriots were ravaged by the Japanese army. In addition, Henan lost 88 factories; The factories in the three provinces of Hunan, Guizhou and Guangdong accounted for one-third of the factories in the rear, and all of them fell into the hands of the enemy; Hunan's famous tungsten, antimony and other important strategic materials were all seized by the Japanese army; Yuxianggui was an important agricultural area and was also controlled by the Japanese army. Everywhere the Japanese army went, they brutally burned, killed and looted, only in Pingxiang, more than 19,000 people were killed, more than 20,000 people were captured, more than 6,000 women were insulted, more than 700 houses were destroyed, farm tools were destroyed worth more than 4,700 yuan, more than 50,000 quintals of rice grain were robbed, and more than 9,500 quintals of cotton were looted. During the war, hundreds of thousands of refugees were displaced, and hundreds of people died of disease and starvation every day, and Han Yunhua would never allow this matter to happen again under his nose, so he sent a kind reminder to the Nationalist Government and Chiang Kai-shek himself through the senior spies of the central government lurking in the high-level of the Nationalist Government, hoping to attract the attention of the Nationalist Government-
