Chapter 1000: Air Raid on Tokyo (Subscription Requested!) )
Air raid on Tokyo
Prime Minister Hideki Tojo vomited blood and fainted, and the pillars of the entire Japanese government collapsed as if they were instantaneous, and various departments fell into a state of chaos at the first time. If Emperor Hirohito had not intervened directly, the entire Japanese government, even without the Chinese expeditionary force coming to attack, would have been disbanded at that time.
Hideki Tojo temporarily lost his command ability, and the command of the next battle fell to the General Staff Headquarters without accident. As a result, the limited troops in the entire area of Tokyo Bay began to rush to their own coastal defense line under the dispatch of the General Staff Headquarters.
Finally, the coastal defense line of several hundred kilometers long was crammed into more or less Japanese soldiers. The Chinese Expeditionary Force fleet has already smashed the Japanese three-wheeled group of suicide attack planes in front and back.
"Commander-in-Chief, it's already the third round. But..."Looking at the pilot who was returning to the plane again, his face was already tired. Chief of Staff Zuo Quan said with a worried face.
"Do you think our pilots are too tired?" Liu Hua asked rhetorically.
"Yes, three rounds of initiative in a row, as long as it is a person, it will be tiring. What's more, these pilots have hardly taken any rest for two days in a row, and I am afraid that they will not be able to bear it...."Zuo Quan replied.
"Hehe, don't worry, this suicide attack method of the little devil won't last long..."Liu Hua said with a smile. Seeing the puzzled look on Zuo Quan's face, he didn't give any explanation, but asked directly.
"Chief of Staff, how far are we from the final landing site, Yokosu Military Port?"
"At the current speed, three hours is enough..."Zuo Quan immediately replied in the affirmative.
"Three hours, that's enough...."
"Look, Chief of Staff. If our army forces land at Yokosu Port, the Air Force will need to protect not only the fleet, but also the land forces that have already successfully landed. And our aviation is limited and simply cannot do this. So. In order to prevent the Japanese suicide attack group from taking advantage of the fire, we must completely solve this hidden danger before the troops land..."
"The distance of less than 100 kilometers is enough for our Hainan Airlines to stage an air force bombing for the little devils...."Liu Hua said confidently.
"Bombardment, Commander-in-Chief. Are you going to...? Zuo Quan seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly asked.
"Bomb the Tokyo airport so that it is unusable for a short time. Of course, we don't need much time, a day, just a day, plus a night. Our landing force will be able to successfully land on the Japanese mainland, take over this airport that is close at hand, and let it be used by us..."Liu Hua replied.
As a qualified chief of staff, after listening to Liu Hua's thoughts. As soon as possible, start doing your duty and weigh the pros and cons of this attack. After a short period of contemplation, Zuo Quan directly asked the key to this initiative: "Commander-in-chief, since it is an air force bombing that is attacking from the east to the west, I don't know where this 'east' refers to?" ”
"Tokyo, the capital of the little devils..."Liu Hua directly pointed to the location of Tokyo in different directions from the airport on the map.
"The whole area around Tokyo Bay. The only place that can really attract the attention of the Japanese army is the capital of Japan...."
"If nothing else, our entire fleet. Including the number of carrier-based fighters that take off each time, it must be clearly displayed on the Japanese radar display. If you want to successfully bomb the Tokyo airport, you can only divert the attention of the Japanese army and destroy the Tokyo airport by surprise without the other side knowing..."
The final result was no surprise, whether it was by virtue of Liu Hua's prestige in the entire expeditionary force. Or Zuo Quan's trust in his old partner. The whole program, without the slightest surprise. Straight through. Half an hour later, the four squadrons of the HNA filled with various bombs once again rushed into the sky under the leadership of Wang Chao.
The headquarters of the Japanese army in Tokyo, the entire war room still looks orderly from the surface. However, from the expressions on everyone's faces, Lieutenant General Tanaka, as deputy chief of staff, can clearly feel that since the fall of Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, the mainstay of Japan, a trace of fear has quietly appeared on everyone's faces.
Lieutenant General Tanaka, who had taken over the command of the entire unit, was staring solemnly at the huge combat sand table in front of him when a communications staff officer walked in directly and reported with a panicked face.
"Your Excellency, Deputy Chief of Staff, the radar report shows that a large number of Chinese fighters are rushing towards our Tokyo. In twenty minutes at the latest, it will fly over my Tokyo...."
"Determined that the target of the attack of the Chinese Air Force is our capital, Tokyo?" With a hint of suspicion, Lieutenant General Tanaka asked directly.
"Hayi, the radar display clearly shows that the target of the squadron's attack aircraft group is Tokyo....", the communications staff officer replied affirmatively.
As a Japanese, Lieutenant General Tanaka is well aware of the importance of Tokyo to Japan as a whole. If Tokyo were to be attacked by air raids at this time, it is likely that the Japanese government, which was in a state of mishap, would be completely dissolved. Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Tanaka was shocked and hurriedly ordered.
"Baga, cunning Chinese....Tokyo, as the capital of the empire, must not allow Chinese fighters to wreak havoc in the capital's skies, no matter what, we must ensure the safety of the capital."
"Your Excellency Deputy Chief of Staff....that...."
"Concentrate all your forces to ensure the safety of Tokyo...."Lieutenant General Tanaka blurted out without thinking.
"Order, the last squadron of fighters docked at the Tokyo airport, take off at once, defend Tokyo....air defense forces around the airport, quickly assemble around Tokyo, prepare for air defense, be quick..."
"Hayi...."
"Buzz...."With the sound of a roar, the last bit of air defense at the Tokyo airport disappeared over the airport. At the same time, a large number of air defense units deployed around the airport also began to move rapidly for the sake of the safety of the capital....The air defense strength of the entire Tokyo airport has changed from being tight just now to being defenseless in just five minutes.
At this very moment, the fighters of the four squadrons of the HNA were only less than ten minutes away from the final target. Looking at the Japanese land that was already clearly visible on the ground, especially after receiving the news that a Japanese fighter group was rapidly rushing towards him, Wang Chao directly gave the order to divide the troops.
"The first and second squadrons, as ordered, immediately changed course. By flying at an ultra-low altitude, evading the detection of the Japanese radar, and raiding the Japanese airport in Tokyo....For the rest, come with me, meet the squadron of fighters of the little devils for a while, and go around the sky over the capital of the little devils. Let the little devils know that our Chinese Air Force can also hit their capital..."
As soon as Wang Chao's order was issued, a total of 24 fighters filled with various bombs, like a falcon that only found its prey, directly swooped towards the ground with a huge engine roar. Then, the entire fleet, clinging to the ground, roared towards the airfield in different directions.
At the same time, two squadrons of the Second Brigade of the HNA and a squadron of the Japanese Army, a total of 36 fighters, also collided together fiercely and started a fierce battle....
In the huge war room, in order to win the last air battle before the troops landed, after the four squadrons set off, Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua stayed directly in the radar room to learn the latest combat situation of the air raid for the first time.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, the decoy unit was intercepted by a squadron of Japanese fighters and is engaged...."A radar soldier reported as he pointed to the display in front of him. ..., "Continue to monitor, keep communications open, and report the specific losses of the enemy and our armies at any time..."Liu Hua ordered with a solemn face.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief...."
"Commander-in-chief, an urgent telegram from the intelligence officers near Tokyo....", another communications staff officer, said with a little excitement.
"Read...."Liu Hua said directly.
"According to the reconnaissance of our special combat personnel, a large number of Japanese air defense units deployed around the Tokyo airport are rapidly assembling in the city of Tokyo."
"Okay...."As soon as the communication staff officer's voice fell, a cheer came out of Liu Hua's mouth. At this moment, as long as anyone who is clear about the entire air attack plan, it is clear what the retreat of the Japanese air defense forces means for the whole plan.
Chief of Staff Zuo Quan, after a short period of excitement, said directly: "Commander-in-chief, we have succeeded...."
"Yes, it worked... As long as the Tokyo airport is temporarily resolved, there will be no need to guard against possible air raids by the Japanese army during the entire landing process... Radar, we must ensure that the direct communication with the two air raid units is unimpeded, I want to know the results of the air raid as soon as possible...."Liu Hua nodded affirmatively, and ordered with an excited smile....
The end result was not surprising, and in the absence of any air defense units, a full 24 warplanes almost clinged to the airfield, throwing all the ammunition they carried. What's more, the excess aviation fuel carried will be directly sprinkled on the airport like rain, increasing the degree of damage to the airport....
"Report to the commander-in-chief, the first and second squadrons of the air attack were successful, and the Japanese airfield in Tokyo has turned into a sea of fire, and it will not be put into use for at least two days ...."
"Report to the commander-in-chief, Captain Wang reports that the Japanese interception squadron has been completely annihilated, and the third and fourth squadrons have returned...."
"Good fight...."In the end, the hidden danger was completely cleared, Liu Hua's clenched fist finally loosened, and he said excitedly.
Immediately, facing the chief of staff in front of him, he directly ordered: "Order, all ground crews, immediately prepare for the return of the heroes of the HNA....order the first wave of landing troops of the expeditionary force to prepare for the landing on the beach...."
