Chapter 555: 20,000 tons of incendiary bombs

The sky was covered with thick clouds, the clouds were three thousand meters high, and after Wang Mingkong sent a signal, the formation began to gradually rise and fly above in order to use the clouds to shade it.

The huge formation of the aircraft group, led by the commander-in-chief aircraft in the front, maintained an altitude of 13,000 meters and moved quickly in the direction of Tokyo. At this time, the sky was completely bright, and the hands of time came to half past seven in the morning Hanjing time.

The sea of clouds in the black stream cave in the original line of sight gradually turned white with the appearance of the sun at this time, and the sky gradually turned blue, and after a while, the red sun rose from the east, and the edge of the sea of white flowers showed a golden yellow.

Behind the commander-in-chief aircraft were other Seahawk-3 carrier-based fighters led by Wang Mingkong. The huge fleet of planes was divided into several formations and quickly approached Japan.

"What a beautiful sunrise, today's lord, I went to destroy the dog's little Japan. Burn it! Ha ha. Looking at the sunrise in the distance and sighing at the beauty of the sunrise, Wang Mingkong said with a smile in his heart.

Burn.

Today's attack is the burning of Tokyo.

Wang Mingkong, who was in a good mood, still had the heart to wipe the windshield of the cockpit, and looked back at the formation group, from the plane closest to him, Captain Li Changyi, the leader of the detachment, turned his head and waved at him and smiled, and the planes were extremely dazzling in the light of the morning sun.

Wang Mingkong looked at the speedometer, took out the drawing board, and planned the direction of the distance.

This time the air raid was not commanded by an AWACS aircraft, because in this place, the early warning mechanism had a very short air time and did not have much effect at all. At this time, carrier-based aircraft groups can only rely on inertial navigation. Show them the way. Inertial navigation not only requires very experienced leader guidance, but also the speed should not be too fast.

"There was no mistake in the direction, as planned. At a speed of 400 kilometers per hour, it is expected that it will take a little more than an hour to reach Tokyo. It should be almost nine o'clock when you get there, and I'm afraid the Royal Air Force is already done. However, this is about the right time. ”

Because the sea surface cannot be seen through the clouds, it is impossible to measure the deflection current. In the case. Even if you are flying in the direction of Tokyo, you may unknowingly deflect the plane. Therefore, Wang Mingkong must always correct the course at any time under the instructions of the direction instrument. But. For insurance. He also needed the help of something else.

Fly on the clouds. It is normal for there to be some kind of error, and just after half past seven o'clock in Hanjing time, Wang Mingkong turned on the switch of the orientation instrument and the radio. I want to receive radio waves from Radio Tokyo.

Broadcast direction finding technology is a top-secret technology in the technical department of the National Defense Forces, and in the past, when Sino-Japanese relations were still good, China exported many sets of radio broadcasts to Japan for use, so it was not difficult to receive radio broadcasts from Tokyo. Who called, many broadcasts are made in China!

Turning the tuning board, I suddenly received a somewhat harsh military song, the sound was very loud, and the military song in Japan has been very popular recently, and it may also be closely related to the war in China. This morning's music program, in the Japanese radio station system, many rules and regulations are arranged from China, and at half past seven in the morning, the start of the broadcast is a music program.

Softly drinking the music on the radio, Wang Ming turned the frame directional antenna of the directional instrument and adjusted the direction.

"Wang Qing!"

After adjusting the bearing, Wang Mingkong called another crew member behind the car through the line in the plane. The pilot commander plane is a three-seater aircraft, and in the front of the driver's seat is one of the best pilots in the aircraft carrier battle group, Wang Qing, a young man from Sichuan, and in the back seat is a radio soldier, wearing headphones, always waiting to receive a report from the pilot reconnaissance.

"Yes!" Wang Qing, who was operating the plane, opened his mouth and replied,

"I received a radio from Tokyo, and now I am using radio navigation,"

"Yes!"

"What degrees does the direction finder compass indicate?"

"Right xx, left xx."

"Okay, now correct the course."

"Yes!"

Wang Qing piloted the flight back to the left, corrected the course three degrees, and then immediately set the pointer of the direction finder compass, and immediately reported the results to the commander, after receiving the report, Wang Mingkong immediately zeroed the pointer of the direction finder compass in the command seat, so that even if there was a slight error in navigation, the formation group could be guaranteed to fly over the antenna of the Tokyo Radio Station.

At this time, Wang Mingkong just sighed, I hope everything goes well!

At half past eight in the morning, the formation had already taken off for an hour and was about to arrive in Tokyo, but the clouds in the sky were still continuous, and the shadows of the mountains on the coast of Honshu could not be seen.

"Did the reconnaissance plane fly over the enemy area, why is there no news at all?"

Wang Mingkong, who began to get nervous, wanted to stare ahead,

At this time, the clouds under the plane became thinner and thinner, and through the cloud gap, Wang Mingkong saw that the long white band formed by the waves crashing against the shore below was the coastline.

"Wang Qing, look down, it looks like the coast." The plane finally came to the coast and went out of front, Wang Mingkong was a little excited,

"Yes, sir, it's the shores of Honshu."

Wang Mingkong hurriedly unfolded the map of the aviation in the Tokyo area to check the direction of the group at this time, and through the comparison of shapes, Wang Mingkong knew that the group had accurately arrived at the southern tip of Tokyo.

"Now turn right and follow the coast to the southwest side of the Boso Peninsula."

In the past, I cut into the port of Tokyo from the peninsula and suddenly rushed to the port under the cover of the mountain.

"Yes, turn right." As Wang Qingyi maneuvered, the commander plane made a sharp turn to the right, and the follow-up formation group followed the long plane to the southwest side.

At this time, Wang Mingkong stared carefully at the airspace outside the windshield, counting the planes in the air.

"It's good, not a single plane was left behind." Wang Mingkong nodded, the past training was not in vain.

After refocusing his attention on the front, Wang Mingkong asked the wireless soldier behind him through the earphone, "Did the reconnaissance plane report the situation?" ”

"Report sir, the reconnaissance plane has not sent back the report so far!"

According to the agreement, if the reconnaissance aircraft finds out about the situation, breaks the radio silence, notifies the raiding aircraft group. Now there is no telegram back, which means that everything is going well.

Wang Mingkong, who was still a little nervous, completely relaxed at this time,

"Wang Qing, the reconnaissance plane has not reported the situation yet, it seems that our surprise attack will not be a problem."

Wang Qing, who was controlling the plane, nodded.

"Sir, I think I'm going to make it,"

"Okay, then give the order to unfold! The formations were ordered to disperse according to the predetermined scheme. ”

"Yes!"

The radio turned on, breaking the radio silence of the group, and at the same time, the command to launch the attack also passed through the radio and spread quickly.

――――――

As early as when Wang Mingkong and the others set off, several large airports on the Ryukyu Islands, huge giant spirit god formations had already begun to set off. And at many airfields in the country, successive bomber units also departed early. Calculate the distance and arrival time, and stagger the departure time. Strive for all the bombing units to be able to reach Tokyo within the same time frame.

If in later life, the advent of the long-range strategic bomber in World War II proved the astonishing results of imaginative judgment and action combined. So now, it's just that Chen Shao instigated the butterfly's wings very early.

As early as 1915, an early group of strategic bombers commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Raymond Freddidu, including the "Zeppelin" giant boat and the "Gotha" bomber, bombed Britain from Belgium across the sea.

At this time, a South African general, General Jan Smetz, imagined a vision of strategic bombing: "It will play the leading role in the struggle by destroying the enemy's large-scale industrial centers and populous cities, depriving them of war ability and morale... The old style of naval and army operations will be reduced to secondary or auxiliary combat. ”

However, it was not until Germany used thousands of Chinese-made H-2 bombers to carry out devastating continuous bombing of London that the world saw for the first time the devastation of the strategic bombing belt, and even to a certain extent, some people even believed that it was the strategic bombers that forced Britain to be unable to counterattack the European continent.

Someone once asked: "It is strange that for every 100 people killed by bombers, perhaps 95 of them were civilians, and for every 100 houses destroyed, perhaps only a few were military factories, was not the Chinese premier the first to stand up against the bombing of civilians after the bombing of Berlin by the Allies?" And calling it an unforgivable evil, that no government can be so despicable as to intimidate innocent civilians into ending a war by killing them, why do we do the same now? ”

This is a difficult problem to explain, weapons are subordinate to war.

The Navy carried out the attack on Tokyo, Japan, alone, and in order to ensure the success of the naval operation, the bombers delayed their take-off by twenty minutes, and by the time the bomber group reached the skies over the Japanese archipelago, the Navy had already launched an attack.

The bombing plan for Sasebo was only an appetizer for the bombing of Japan. The main meal is actually in the follow-up attack.

This bombing will be the largest bombing operation ever organized, and 1,000 bombers of various types flying toward Japan from three directions will carry nearly 20,000 tons of incendiary bombs to Japan, most of which will land in Tokyo. And in the coming days, this kind of continuous bombing will continue uninterrupted. The aim is not to destroy Japan's military power, but to destroy Japan's confidence.

Bombing plans like this are certainly not improvised. However, it took a lot of time to mobilize these bombers and the accompanying ammunition. After all, 20,000 tons of incendiary bombs have to be prepared, and this is not a couple of grenades.

But are these means all the means of China? Under Chen Shao's anger, is there really only these actions? (To be continued......)
