Tokyo, formerly known as Edo, is located at the southern end of the Kanto Plain on the island of Honshu, Japan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 INFO is the economic, cultural, industrial, and political center of the whole of Japan. It is home to most of Japan's wealth and is the heart of Japan.

Damyung Army Airlines' four-engine large bombers flew from Jeju Island and southern Korea as well as Taiwan. If you take off from airports in Bay Island and other places, it is enough to cover the Tokyo area. It's just that Zhang Cheng has always forbidden the request of the Army Air Force's strategic bomber force to bomb the Tokyo area.

This gave the Japanese a misunderstanding, they thought that the Ming either did not have enough range for bombers, or they did not regard Tokyo as a bombing target because they were concerned about Tokyo's status.

Because Tokyo has never been bombed on a large scale, and it is still the capital of the Japanese. Many Japanese who have lost their homes after being bombed believe that Tokyo is protected by the gods and protected by His Majesty the Emperor. Even non-believers think that Tokyo has a special status and is much safer than other places. As a result, many Japanese people have come to Tokyo if they had not traveled to the more remote and barren and sparsely populated areas of Ou and the deep mountains of Noka.

As a result of the influx of people, Tokyo's population has skyrocketed, and the already crowded city has become even more crowded. And it breeds all kinds of chaos.

In addition, due to the restrictions on materials during the war, most of the people who fled to Tokyo after losing their homes had little wealth. Government handouts alone simply cannot meet the needs of all.

In order to be able to survive, various criminal cases have proliferated. From petty theft at the beginning to direct roadblock robbery and even burglary. Refugees who can't survive do anything.

And the local gangsters and restless people also took advantage of the situation to join in, making the water even more muddy. The entire Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is going crazy, and most of their officers haven't rested for more than a month.

Local businessmen have not forgotten to reach out at such times. But it is not a helping hand, but a hand that robs while the fire is hot. In the face of black-hearted merchants, the fleeing people paid their last bit of possessions, and there were even many down-and-out samurai descendants who had nothing left but a family heirloom katana.

Times have changed, and the merchants who used to be in charge of the lowly business have become the masters of the times, and their wealth is far stronger than the katana of the fallen samurai.

The character of the island people has always been extreme, and the great loss and the persecution of reality have directly bred the chaos in Tokyo. Countless people looked at their family members who were waiting to be fed and chose to pick up the knife next to them. But all of this vanished after the night.

The reason why Zhang Cheng was reluctant to carry out a large-scale bombing of Tokyo before was not because of insufficient range, let alone because he would scruple about anything. What will he be afraid of the Japanese? The only reason is that the timing is not right.

In addition to increasing the number of fighters and reserves, which are regarded as secret weapons, and have never been used white phosphorus incendiary bombs. The most important thing is to increase the experience and proficiency of your troops by bombing multiple times, and to wait for the best moment to strike.

Tokyo is the capital of the Japanese, and Zhang Cheng wants to bring them a shocking greeting at the right time. And this time has already come after the Spring Festival.

The Japanese succeeded in occupying the island of New Guinea after paying heavy casualties, opening the door to the Australian mainland south. This incident had a great impact on Daming, because the Australian mainland is not one of those small islands in the Pacific Ocean!

In order to cope with the arrogance of the Japanese, it was not enough to drive the Japanese out of the Korean Peninsula and continue to bomb the Japanese mainland. Zhang Cheng needed a big move to boost morale and deal a heavy blow to the morale of the Japanese and their potential and will to continue fighting.

The massive bombing of Tokyo was naturally on the agenda. This time, Zhang Cheng nodded.

In the past, the bombing of all parts of Japan was basically on the scale of 100 planes, and even when the bombing of Kitakyushu, Japan's most important industrial base, was carried out, there were no bomber groups of more than 500 planes.

This time, the large-scale bombing of Tokyo was carried out by several aviation regiments from Jeju Island, Taiwan. Bay Island, a number of airports in southern North Korea take off. The huge group of planes flew stealthily above the heavy clouds high in the sky towards Tokyo Bay.

The air regiments regrouped over the Pacific Ocean in the southern part of the Gulf of Tonkin and then flew straight to Tokyo. Most of the shore-based radar systems that the Americans supported Japan were placed on Kyushu Island, and the only radar station on the Izu Peninsula was a snowflake made by the aluminum foil thrown by the Ming pilot crew, which became a completely blind ornament. A fleet of more than 1,000 planes smoothly lowered the altitude and entered the skies over Tokyo.

The bombing of the previous months had shown that while bombing at high altitude was effective in protecting the safety of bombers, the accuracy of hits was far from satisfactory. As a result, the strategic bomber forces quickly adjusted their tactics to precision bombing at an altitude of 1,500 to 2,000 meters. This altitude is subject to ground and air fire. But the results were very encouraging. Therefore, the bombing altitude has always been set at this position.

This bombing of Tokyo was carried out at night. At this time, not to mention Japan and the United States, even Daming, with Zhang Cheng's help, has not yet miniaturized radar equipment on aircraft, and there is no such thing as a night fighter. The Ming bombardment forces only had to face the threat of ground artillery fire from the Japanese. And what powerful threat can the Japanese ground artillery fire have? It's not daylight again.

In order to attract the attention of the Japanese, it was just dark, and the air raid group arrived in Tokyo more than two hours before it arrived. Another bomber force again attacked Oita to attract the attention of the Japanese. Subsequently, the bombing of Tokyo began.

Most of the strategic bombers bombed Tokyo this time were newly equipped with new fighters. The prototype of this new fighter is the famous Super Flying Fortress, the B29.

Compared with the reference blueprint, Zhang Cheng ordered the aircraft designers to expand the size of the new bomber and greatly increase the fuel reserve. On the premise of not changing the amount of ammunition, the combat radius is greatly increased. And all this, with the industrial and technological capabilities of the Ming Dynasty at this time, is enough to complete.

This fighter, capable of carrying at least six to eight tons of incendiary bombs, is extremely powerful. During the experiment, the single bombing burned area of an astonishing 6,500 square meters. And more than a thousand warplanes are enough to drop more than six thousand tons of incendiary bombs. This is not six thousand tons of water, this is a terrible incendiary bomb.

"Attention to all units, attention to all units." On the pilot plane, Major General Yang Fangyun, deputy commander of the Army's strategic bomber unit, as the front-line commander of the air raid, turned on the communicator and said in a deep voice, "We have reached the airspace above the target. ”

Yang Fangyun, who was sitting in the main driver's seat, looked sideways at the brightly lit huge city below through the window on the side, and an irrepressible pride surged in his heart: "All formations, all flight groups began to disperse according to the predetermined plan. After the attack, they returned home. Good luck. ”

"Good luck."

"Good luck."

"Good luck."

“......”

The blessings of the various crews came from the microphone, no one wanted to be shot down, but this kind of thing can only depend on luck and the strength of the fighter. At such a time, all you can do is send your blessings.

Tokyo is a large area because it has a population of nearly 10 million people. In addition, there were not many high-rise buildings in Tokyo at this time, and the homes of ordinary people were still made of wood and bamboo, which were built for thousands of years.

These low-rise bungalows, built in a dense row, are very afraid of fire on a daily basis. In addition to the material, the narrow roads make it impossible for fire trucks to enter, and once the fire is on a large scale and then encounters strong winds, it will inevitably cause irreparable damage.

At 1:15 a.m., the two navigation planes of the lead crew rushed into the sky over Tokyo at an altitude of no more than 500 meters under the reflection of antiaircraft artillery shells flying in the sky and countless huge searchlight columns.

"Ready." Yang Fangyun, who was staring closely at the various dashboards, shouted loudly: "Prepare for bombing." ”

The bombardier in the rear compartment lay on the sight and stared at the target below, holding down the bomb plate and shouting "ten, nine, eight, seven...... Two, one! Bombing! ”

As the bombardier slammed the bombardier open, a long line of incendiary bombs with a high-pitched whistling sound broke away from the hook from the open hatch under the belly of the aircraft and fell straight to the ground.

On the ground are the people of Tokyo fleeing like ants to the sound of the siren. Snow-white thick searchlight columns and a rain of bullets flew around, and a long series of bombs soon swept hundreds of meters into the air and smashed heavily on the ground.

"Boom !!" After the bomb exploded, it was not shrapnel that scattered it, but crazy flames! Flames flying around unscrupulously!

The two strings of napalm dropped by the navigation fighter criss-cross instantly ignited two huge fire dragons on the ground, forming a huge cross shape.

The bombing coordinates were marked for the host group at an altitude of 1,000 meters. Soon, wave after wave of bombers formed into groups and dropped their bombs on the center of the target.

About 70 of these bombers were loaded with high-purity gasoline that fell into the fire, adding fuel to the fire.

There are no words to describe the hellish scene. The entire ground burned rapidly as far as the eye could see, and the fierce flames almost burned the entire earth to ashes. The originally dim night was also lit up by the raging flames, and the sky and earth were filled with an annoying hot and dry atmosphere.

Even the bomber pilots flying high in the air were stunned by their masterpiece. No one believes what they see.

The reason why the night bombing was chosen tonight was that the weather forecast said that there would be clouds tonight, which could increase the concealment of the group. Another important reason is that it will be windy in the Tokyo metropolitan area tonight, and the wind will be quite strong.

The wind fuels the fire, and the fire borrows the power of the wind. A human catastrophe is being brutally staged. (To be continued.) )
