In the Chinese province of Primorsky, the Amursky Peninsula, which still bears Russian names, and the southernmost fortress of Vladivostok on the peninsula, after the end of the Anti-Soviet War, became a "Russo-Japanese dispute" area, and the Russian Empress Anastasia refused to hand over to Japan this strategic point that was stuck in the choke point of the "Japanese Far East" under the pretext of not recognizing the "Japanese-Soviet Peace Treaty". However, Japan swallowed its anger because of the special relationship between China and Russia, or the special relationship between the Russian empress and Luo Yaoguo, and finally simply exchanged the "Japanese Far East" that was stuck in the throat to the Philippine Islands from China.

And when the "Japanese Far East" became China's Primorsky Province, the Russian empress, of course, did not hesitate to cede the entire Amursky Peninsula and the Vladivostok fortress to China. At the same time, the engineers of the brigade came to the Amursky Peninsula along the Eastern Railway and began to build a huge air base in the western part of the peninsula on a narrow plain near the Amursky Bay.

After the base was built, a large number of antiaircraft artillery units of the Chinese National Defense Forces were brought over, hundreds of antiaircraft guns of various calibers were deployed around the airport, and antiaircraft radar antennas were erected on the nearby Shedanka Mountains to closely protect the entire base.

After all this was arranged, the life-and-death war between China and Japan happened to begin. This large air base, located less than 1,100 kilometers from Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is naturally home to hundreds and thousands of military aircraft of various sizes. The strong smell of gunpowder also permeated the skies over the entire Amursky Peninsula.

Several jeeps with blue sky and white sun flags flying on their bows sped along the road from the city of Vladivostok at the southern tip of the peninsula, and after passing through the checkpoints, they drove into the air base and stopped in front of a small two-story western-style building in the corner of the base. In front of the small building, several officers wearing blue air force uniforms were already waiting, led by a tall and dignified air force general, who was none other than General Wang Shuming, commander of the First Air Force who had been transferred from the naval aviation unit to the air force.

"Shuming. What was the situation with the bombing last night? As soon as he jumped out of the jeep, Li Shun-eun couldn't wait to ask about the results of last night's "reconnaissance bombing."

Wang Shuming first respectfully saluted Li Shunen, and then took a stack of black-and-white photos from the adjutant's hand and handed them to Li Shunen: "Junzuo, the headquarters personally piloted the FW-200H heavy bomber to direct the bombing last night, and this is a photo of the results of the air raid taken by the FW-200F long-range reconnaissance plane accompanying the operation. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the white bright spots on the first photo and said, "These bright spots were taken when the napalm was just dropped." Then he put a second photo in front of Li Shunen's eyes, and the white highlights on this photo have been connected, Wang Shuming explained: "This is 10 minutes later, the white areas on the photo are on fire, and we only dispatched 100 bombers last night." Less than 80 tons of incendiary bombs were dropped on Tokyo, and it is estimated that about 1 to 2 square kilometers of blocks were burned, and if the number of incendiary bombs could be increased by 10 times, it should be possible to burn more than a dozen square kilometers at a time, and 10 times would be enough to reduce Tokyo to ruins! ”

"Good, good, that's what you want." While walking inside the small building, Li Shunen carefully looked at the photos taken by the FW-200F reconnaissance plane, and in a blink of an eye, he walked into a hall arranged to look like an air force combat command center.

In the center of the hall is a huge electric sand table, where several staff officers wearing blue air force uniforms place models of aircraft representing bomber groups or fighter groups. Lieutenant General Ye Qiu, chief of operations of the Air Force, was sitting on a chair. Holding a report in his hand, he was looking at it carefully, and when he heard the footsteps of Li Shunen and others, he stood up and saluted the commander of the Air Force.

"What are you looking at?" Lee Soon-eun asked.

"I just received information from the Japanese Allied News Agency about the air raid on Tokyo last night." Ye Qiu smiled. "They say we are the most insidious arsonists in the world, burning down more than 3,000 homes, four primary schools, a middle school, a hospital, and a temple in one night," he replied. More than 6,000 innocent civilians were burned. Burned almost 10,000 people...... Well, their government is also strongly protesting against our atrocities and condemning something. ”

"Hehe, it's all good news, is there anything else?" Li Shun-en smiled with satisfaction, the stronger the Japanese government's protest, the better the effect of last night's air raid.

"There is also bad news," Ye Qiu frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Little Japan announced." Any Chinese pilot who parachuted to Japanese soil because the plane was shot down will be summarily executed! ”

"Shuming, how many planes didn't come back last night?" Lee Soon-eun asked as he walked to the front of the flight chart. Look at the map.

According to the plan, the First Air Force will dispatch 480 medium and heavy bombers this evening. 48 BF-110 heavy fighters, as well as 6 FW-200F reconnaissance aircraft, went to Tokyo to kill people and set fires. Although the Japanese air defense is not very good at the moment, they can always shoot down a few planes by blind cats and dead rats.

"The loss of 3 HE-110 medium bombers, which are inferior in protection to the Ju-88 and FW-200 and less maneuverable than the Ju-88, are more vulnerable to being shot down by ground fire." Wang Shuming reported: "At present, Japan does not have a really useful night fighter, and the main threat we have to face is ground artillery fire. ”

"Losses are always inevitable." Li Shunen frowned, there are still hundreds of HE-111s in service in the Wehrmacht Air Force, and it is unrealistic to eliminate them. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you ready for tonight's action?" ”

"All 534 planes planned to be dispatched are ready, and 502 tons of incendiary bombs are also ready, and the departure time is set for 4:30 p.m. today, and it can reach the skies over Tokyo at about 7 p.m." Wang Shuming said.

"Has the combat mission been assigned?" Lee Soon-eun asked again.

"Not yet, at 12 noon, all the captains and navigators will go to the war room for a meeting, and the specific combat missions will be assigned at that time." Wang Shuming replied.

Li Shunen nodded with satisfaction, he was originally reactionary. Therefore, there is no psychological obstacle to the massacre of the Japanese working people from the air with incendiary bombs. Wang Shuming had a gloating smile on his face, only Ye Qiu's expression was a little solemn, and he didn't know whether he was worried about the Japanese working people in those cabins or the fate of the bomber pilot who was unfortunately shot down tonight.

After a few moments of silence, they began to discuss the next step of arson, after tonight's air raid, the Japanese are likely to concentrate all their anti-aircraft artillery units near Tokyo, so the bombing targets of the First Air Force should be moved to Osaka or Kyoto......

……

Tokyo, Japan, Prime Minister's Office.

The conference room was packed with dejected Japanese civil and military personnel, everyone frowning and sighing. And Japanese Prime Minister Fumihiro Konoe's face was even more gloomy, almost out of the water, looking at a loss report in front of him, motionless in a daze.

Outside the window, there was a faint black smoke wafting in the direction of Shinjuku not far away, and everyone in the conference room seemed to be able to smell a scorching smell, or it was probably just psychological. This morning, under the leadership of Prime Minister Konoe, they went to a neighborhood near Shinjuku that had been incinerated by incendiary bombs dropped by Chinese bombers to inspect and offer condolences. I saw charred corpses, houses burned to ruins, and a scorched black earth. There are also Japanese working people crying the names of their relatives on the black soil.

Such a scene should have been repeated in Chongqing, the capital of China, in another time and space, but in this forked history, the Japanese themselves first tasted the taste of the bombing......

The sudden bombing seemed to have given these high-ranking members of the Japanese Empire a blow, and they didn't know if it had stunned them. Still woke up these people. Just about 100 bombers carried out a medium-sized bombing, burned nearly 3,000 people, burned thousands of people, and left nearly 20,000 homeless (the Japanese Alliance deliberately exaggerated the loss figures in order to highlight the brutal nature of Chinese imperialism)!

Everyone knows that Chinese imperialism is the second largest air force in the world. With more than 1,500 medium and heavy bombers...... If they all come to Tokyo and set fires. Wouldn't it be to kill 40,000 or 50,000 people at once, burn more than 100,000 people, and burn a quarter or a fifth of the Japanese capital! Maybe even the comfort zone of all of you here will be reduced to ashes in the air raid!

Fumiro Konoe hung his head and sighed for a while, the atmosphere in the conference room became more and more gloomy, and no one knew what to say. In the end, it was the Chief of Staff of the Army, Prince Zairen of the Imperial Palace, who slapped the table and shouted: "Gentlemen! Cheer up, Japan has not yet sunk, and the 14 million Imperial Army is still fighting bloody battles against the enemy. The tyrannical branch will definitely get the end it deserves! ”

The old prince snapped to his feet, and the table and bench rattled. He continued to shout: "The army will increase its forces to Korea and launch an attack from land." Defeat those vile and shameless Shinas! Capture Vladivostok, capture Manchuria! Let the people of China no longer have airfields that can be used to bomb Japan! ”

"Your Royal Highness! Please calm down! Konoe Fumiro glanced at the old man, who was probably already dizzy, and then turned his head to look at Nagata Tetsuyama: "Minister of War, what are your ways to deal with the current situation?" ”

Nagata Tieshan's face was as black as iron, his eyebrows were tightly twisted, and he looked like he had been thinking about it for a while, but in the end, he only gritted his teeth and highlighted two words: "Evacuate!" ”

"Evacuation?" Konoe Fumiro was stunned, and before he could open his mouth to express his opinion, Nagata Tetsuyama hurriedly continued: "Your Excellency Prime Minister! Chinese had found a way to destroy large imperial cities such as Tokyo, so it was imperative to minimize the population of these cities and let everyone hide in the countryside in order to reduce civilian casualties...... Important factories should also be evacuated as soon as possible, and those that can be moved to New Japan should be moved as soon as possible, and those that are inconvenient to move should be well guarded. In addition, there was the immediate transfer of anti-aircraft artillery units from all of Japan to the vicinity of Tokyo, and I estimate that the Chinese will soon launch a larger-scale air raid! It could be tonight! ”

"Okay, the Cabinet will issue an emergency evacuation order, evacuate Tokyo first." Konoe Fumiro thought about it and agreed to Nagata's suggestion, and then the old prince's roar rang out again.

"You can't just take a beating and not fight back!" Prince Zairen of the Idle Yuan Palace doesn't seem to have completely calmed down, "The army also has Type 97 heavy bombers!" Taking off from Okinawa can bomb Shanghai, China, Vladivostok and Shenyang from North Korea, and Beiping and Tianjin! Since the Chinese can bomb Tokyo, then why can't we fight back! ”

"Nagata-kun. Do you think it's feasible? "The issue of the war is not under the jurisdiction of the Cabinet, but since Prince Zaihito of Kanin Miyajito has brought it up, Konoe also wants Nagata's opinion.

"This ...... All right! Nagata silently calculated, gritted his teeth, and said: "The army has less than 200 Type 97 heavy bombers...... Leave 100 manned missiles for dropping the 'Yamato Special Attack Force', and organize a counterattack for the rest! Let the people of China also learn the power of the Imperial bombers! ”

……

At the same time that a Japanese civil and military meeting was held to discuss countermeasures, at the Amursky Air Base, 1,100 kilometers away, a huge bomber was taking off from the runway, and in the midst of a huge roar, hundreds of planes formed several huge formations in the sky. Whistling and flying south.

After flying for about one hour, the sky gradually darkened, and there were no lights in the cabin, only the indicator lights flashing in the dark; Wang Shuming, commander of the First Air Army, was flying on an FW-200F long-range reconnaissance plane today to direct the entire operation at high altitude. He glanced down, and there was nothing but darkness below, and there were flickering wing lights, as if it were a starry sky.

Wang Shuming is in the cabin of the fuselage of the FW-200, not the cockpit, so it is very spacious and comfortable. A radar monitor was placed on the right, with several radar soldiers facing away from him, and a bunch of communications equipment installed a little behind. The entire left side of the cabin belonged to Wang Shuming and his chief of staff, Lieutenant General Kim Jin-il, who was a North Korean. However, when he applied for Whampoa, he concealed his nationality, so he was not sent to the Northwest Military and Political School by Luo Yaoguo, and has been following the Kuomintang to fight the world, and later joined the Air Force, and now he is an official lieutenant general.

"The military seat will enter Japanese airspace in 10 minutes, and it will reach the target in 25 minutes." Jin Zhenyi kept talking to the plane's navigator with a communicator throughout the flight. So you know the location of the fleet well.

"Okay." Wang Shuming took the communicator from Jin Zhenyi's hand. adjusted the frequency a bit, and said into the microphone: "Attention everyone, I am General Wang Shuming, commander of the First Air Army, and now I give the order, all combat preparations, and there are still 25 minutes to enter the target airspace......"

After giving the order, Wang Shuming began to close his eyes and recuperate, in fact, he was a little nervous in his heart. Last night, he commanded 100 bombers to set fire to Tokyo...... I'm afraid that the Japanese, who have suffered a lot, have already mobilized a lot of anti-aircraft guns to prepare for the battle, right?

"There are 10 minutes left to reach the skies over the designated target." Jin Zhenyi's voice rang out in the cabin again.

Wang Shuming picked up the microphone and began to give orders again: "Tokyo is 40 kilometers ahead. Now sound the battle alarm...... The height dropped to 2000 meters, and the formation was disbanded. Freedom to strike. ”

This order to disband the formation was made only after repeated study by Wang Shuming, Li Shunen, Ye Qiu, Huang Jun, and others this afternoon. In fact, the bomber formation flight has two main functions, one is to resist the attack of enemy fighters; The second is to increase the chance of the bomb hitting. However, neither of these points will be needed tonight, the Japanese do not have a night fighter that can be used at present, and they do not pursue any hit rate when throwing incendiary bombs, as long as they are thrown in the city of Tokyo. Therefore, there is no need to fly in formation, and the disbanding of formations can reduce the threat of some ground fire.

At this time, the originally silent city of Tokyo suddenly sounded an air raid siren! A Japanese flare pierced the dark night sky, and countless searchlight pillars also rose into the sky, searching for traces of Chinese bombers in the night sky, and anti-aircraft artillery fire immediately opened ferocious fire. Countless bright and dazzling orange-red flames flew into the night sky at a great speed, and then turned into clusters of flames. Some of the low-flying bombers were hit on the spot by heavy ground fire! Two planes were hit with fuel tanks and caught fire, and the planes tumbled and fell downward, and one He-111 was directly hit by a shell from a Japanese heavy anti-aircraft gun, and the whole plane was blown in two!

However, most of the planes were unharmed and managed to pass through the dense network of fire created by the Japanese ground artillery. The HE-111 and Ju-88 medium bombers were each carrying 10 100-kilogram incendiary bombs, each containing 16 5-kilogram M28 incendiary bombs. The incendiary bombs swayed out of the bomb bay and crashed at high speed into the city of Tokyo under 2,000 meters, before turning into bursts of blazing fire and scorching shock waves.

When viewed from above, there are more and more flickering fires below, and the whole of Tokyo seems to be drowned in a sea of fire. 480 HE-111s, Ju-88s - the fastest update or FW-200H bombers dropped more than 500 tons of incendiary bombs on Tokyo. The center of the capital of the Empire of Japan was transformed into a hell of flames, with fires blazing the night sky, the crackling of burning wooden houses, and the cries of fleeing for their lives. The whole of Tokyo is transformed into a chaotic and terrifying purgatory on earth on this night!
