At the Jiaodong base, Li Mei was pacing back and forth in base A, his mood was very nervous about whether this attack could be successful and how big the loss would be, which would directly determine the course of the future war; If the losses are not large and the air raids are successful, then he will carry out a series of similar air raids on other cities in Japan, which will inevitably destroy Japanese industry and shorten the course of the war, and of course this will also lead to the death of a large number of Japanese civilians, but so what?

Although the US troops were still far south of the Philippines and Nimitz had not yet been able to break through the absolute defense circle of the Japanese army, the Joint Chiefs of Staff was already studying the possibility of landing in Japan, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff believed that landing in Japan could lead to 500,000 to 1 million casualties. The all-this-small-speaking-net offensive forces will be assembled in Korea, Okinawa, and the Jiaodong Peninsula.

It is better to let the Japanese die two million more than to let their own people die another 500,000, the lives of American young people are precious, and as for the Chinese..., with Li Mei's understanding of them, if they can hit Tokyo and take Hirohito out of the palace, they are willing to pay any price.

From the beginning of the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan's continuous aggression against China has made all Chinese accumulate hatred, from Northeast China to North China to Jiangnan and South China, all Chinese have gritted their teeth when they mention Japan, and with the increase in the territory recovered, the atrocities of the Japanese army in various places have been discovered one after another, and after these atrocities have been exposed by the news, they have aroused widespread anger in China and even the world, and the call for severe punishment of Japan has been continuously carried out in various news media.

Li Mei still remembers that before the bombing of Japan, the Chinese pilots conducted a comprehensive political education, and this kind of political education seemed somewhat incredible to the Americans, and in the eyes of the Americans, the soldiers should win on the battlefield and strive for victory by various means: but the Chinese did not think so, the Chinese emphasized political education and ideological education, and Gao Zhihang did nothing else in this ideological education, so he posted all the reports and pictures about the atrocities of the Japanese army in the newspaper, so that each squadron visited Li Mei very surprised. After the visit, the morale of the Chinese soldiers was suddenly high.

Li Mei was walking under the conning tower, anxiously waiting for the group to come back, but Gao Zhihang over Tokyo was extremely excited, and after giving an order to Xue Muhua, he grabbed the camera and slammed the shutter on the sea of fire below.

The flames are rising even at an altitude of 10,000 meters, Gao Zhihang can feel the scorching heat, the night sky has been dyed red, in the firelight, another team of B17 flew into the bomb dropping area, the belly hatch opened, highlighting a string of bombs, sharp whistling sound... Breaking through the night sky, a few seconds later, white points of light appeared on the ground, and the points of light spread rapidly, and the black areas were lit up again.

"This should be more than a dozen square kilometers," Gao Zhihang looked at the area below, silently calculating the results in his heart, he believed that there would be no people and animals left in this area.

There was heat on all sides, building after building caught fire, courtyard after courtyard burned, and people who woke up from their sleep fled from their homes in a hurry, most of them empty-handed, only wearing pajamas.

Tatsunosuke was the first to escape from their home, while they were still on the road, the bombing had already begun, and when they fled to the river embankment, the entire neighborhood where they lived was covered in flames, looking at the fierce fire, everyone was stupid, Mrs. Ishikawa couldn't help but lean her body against Tatsunosuke, on the contrary, Mrs. Nakamura grabbed Tanabe's arm, Mrs. Nakamura was also widowed, her husband was killed in the Battle of Xuzhou, and Mr. Nakamura died of illness a year earlier.

Tachitakanosuke felt the stone, Mrs. Tsuki's body was trembling, and reached out to wrap his hand around her waist, Tanabe was not polite, holding Mrs. Nakamura's hand, and Mrs. Nakamura took the children, and a group of people stared at the sea of fire like this.

Figures escaped from the sea of fire one after another, many of them were still on fire, and when they reached the river, they threw themselves into the water, and the crowd grew, and the embankment became more and more crowded.

Some people are crying helplessly in the crowd, some are shouting shēn, some are cursing, some children are crying and looking for their mothers, and some mothers are anxiously looking for their children.

Sadness, helplessness, various emotions are intertwined and permeate the crowd. Tatsunosuke saw the young girl approaching them, wearing a tattered pajamas, half of her chest lying outside, her face full of panic.

The fire, which turned everything red, the air, the river, the sky, the crowd, all red: the smell of roasted meat in the air was stronger than ever, disgusting to the point of vomiting.

A woman was holding a child in her arms, standing in the water deep in her legs, her face was blistered, the sleeves of her pajamas had been burned, and the child was wrapped in sheets, as if she was still asleep.

"Is there anyone! We need people! A voice in front of the crowd was shouting anxiously.

Tachikanosuke's hand loosened slightly, and he was about to go out, but Mrs. Ishikawa grabbed his arm, and Tachitakanosuke looked down at her in surprise, her eyes full of tears, and a look of pleading in her eyes.

Out of the corner of Tatsutakanosuke's eyes, Mrs. Nakamura also grabbed Tanabe's arm, and a smile appeared at the corner of Tachitakanosuke's mouth, Mrs. Ishikawa followed Tatsunosuke's gaze and couldn't help laughing, but then she came to her senses, and couldn't help but be startled in her heart, what was wrong with herself, but soon she calmed down, she was a widow, he was not married, and no one could care.

Tatsutakanosuke gently kissed her on the forehead and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll come back safely." When he was done, Tachitakanosuke let go of her, raised his arms and shouted, "Me! I want to participate! ”

Tanabe saw that Tatsutakanosuke had gone out, and hurriedly followed. Led by the two of them, more than a dozen men and women came out one after another, and the others remained silent.

The man didn't say anything more, and ran towards the fire with them, and Tachitakanosuke ran two steps and looked back at the crowd, which was still there, but he didn't see Mrs. Ishikawa's family.

Even if you know that the fire is big, you can only know how big the fire is when you get close to the fire. There is still a few dozen meters away from the fire to feel the heat, the fierce breath makes people unable to get close at all, there is a fire truck parked on the side of the street, and several firefighters pull the hose to spray water, but this bit of water is a drop in the bucket.

Tatsutakanosuke thought that they would put out the fire here, but they didn't expect the leader to lead them around the street and run to another road, where all the buildings on both sides of the road were on fire, and the wood burned with a crackling sound, and the smell of burnt human flesh was even stronger. At the corner of the street, a few people were busy waving fire extinguishers, in vain to fight the flames around them.

Out of an alley rushed out two fiery figures, the figures let out a scream, and the leader shouted, "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! It's fire oil, stick to it! ”

The people frantically avoided the two fire men, and Tachitakanosuke hurriedly shouted, "Roll on the ground!" Roll on the ground! Roll on the ground! One person was still reflexing, and immediately fell to the ground and rolled around, while the other still stumbled outward, and fell to the ground after a few steps, and after a few convulsions, he stopped moving.

Tachitakanosuke was sick to his stomach for a while, and he almost vomited, these are those citizens who are hiding in bomb shelters or in their basements, although these places can dodge bombs, but they can't avoid the fire, the raging fire burns the air, and those who don't want to die can only risk death to rush out, rush out and live, and can't rush out......... Door "Bang!" A water pipe finally burst open at a high temperature, the water column rose into the air, and several people next to it had no time to dodge, and they were drenched all over their bodies, and they were a little frightened at first.

The water column did not help the fire in the slightest, on the contrary, the fire truck in the distance ran out of water, and several team members stood there blank and did not know what to do.

The fire was fierce like never before, and the wind made the fire even bigger, and soon they were surrounded by fire, and Tachitakanosuke saw that it was not good, and ran quickly with a loud roar, turned and ran backwards, and everyone ran out with him, and everyone ran to the embankment in one go.

The embankment was already a bit chaotic, the nearby branches and yards were all burning, the crowd was retreating in a mess, and the last one had retreated into the river, Tachitakanosuke called out to Mrs. Ishikawa, Mrs. Ishikawa's somewhat panicked voice came from the crowd, Tachitakanosuke struggled to squeeze into the crowd, and when he found Mrs. Ishikawa, Mrs. Ishikawa was already standing waist-deep in the river, holding her son tightly in her arms, Mrs. Nakamura and Mrs. Nakamura were close to her, and the three of them were completely out of content, and Huang Huang was at a loss.

Tatsutakanosuke didn't do anything, took the child from Mrs. Ishikawa's arms, and took another one from Mrs. Nakamura: "Follow me!" ”

After that, he struggled to squeeze through the crowd, and at this time Tanabe also arrived, and he forcefully separated the crowd outside to pick up Tatakanosuke and them.

"The fire is too big, I can't stay here, I have to leave quickly!" Tatekanosuke handed over a child to Tanabe and looked around. It seemed that the whole of Tokyo had run to the river, and the bridge that spanned the banks was crowded with people, and the other side of the river was burning.

In the palace, Hirohito stood on the hillside, under the firelight, his face was red, his mouth was biting hard, Kido looked at his back, he didn't know what Hirohito was thinking, the smell of burning and smoke in the air filled all corners of the palace, everywhere.

"Your Majesty, go back to the palace, we'll know what the situation is tomorrow." Kido softly persuaded that Hirohito had ordered the palace gate to be opened for refugees to take refuge in the palace, but there were so many refugees that the front yard of the palace was soon filled, and the square in front of the palace was also crowded with people fleeing the fire.

Hirohito didn't move, Kido didn't dare to speak again, he sighed silently, and after a long time, Hirohito sighed: "When the war is over, we will definitely be able to rebuild a new Tokyo." ”

Kido saw Hirohito's hand behind his back, clenched into a fist, his nails pinched into the flesh, and blood was faintly oozing out. Seeing this scene, a line of cloudy tears slid down the wrinkled face... @
