In the early morning of July 6, in Nagasaki, Japan, the owner of a restaurant opened the door and was preparing for a new day of business.

Half a month ago, when the state incident occurred, the intervention forces departing from Nagasaki were bombed and sunk by Red Army planes off the coast of Shanghai; after the news was transmitted, at that time, like many of his neighbors, he marched on the streets "filled with righteous indignation" and shouted the slogan "Severely punish the violent branches." At the same time, he also went to the Navy's local office to protest, and he also followed the coaxing and shouted "Heavenly Punishment of National Thieves" with Japanese characteristics.

I've been angry, vented, and violent, but life still has to be lived.

Soon after, the cruiser formation of the "former allies" of the British from Singapore came to Japan for air defense refitting, and two of them were temporarily docked in the port of Nagasaki.

So he's in a good mood right now.

It was seven o'clock in the morning, and the British sailors on the warships had just gotten up and were holding a flag-raising ceremony in the harbor.

After opening the door of the shop, looking at the two heavy and light cruisers docked in the port not far away, Yuto Kawada, the owner of the restaurant, had mixed feelings.

He hoped that these British and Imperial Navy would set off as soon as possible and go to Shanghai together to severely punish those "evil" "red tyrants". I hope these people can stop here for a few more days and rely on his business alone.

Just when Yuto Kawada was conflicting about this, he suddenly heard a buzzing sound in the distance, and looked up to see two planes flying in the direction of the west.

"Is it a Navy plane? How not like it."

When news of the naval defeat off Shanghai came back last month, Yuto Kawada knew that the cause of the defeat was the work of the Red Shina planes. After the incident, the flight training of the Japanese Navy and Army Airlines suddenly became denser, and Yuto Kawada, who was in Nagasaki, saw planes conducting flight training over Nagasaki many times. He and the officers and men of the navy who dined in the restaurant learned that the planes that appeared over Nagasaki in the past few days were mainly HNA planes, and as for the specific models, the other party did not say, and Yuto Kawada did not ask too much.

The buzzing was getting louder. It's not just Yuto Kawada. Even the other shopkeepers or passers-by who got up early in the circle raised their heads to look at the sky.

As the planes flew closer, their altitude decreased, and soon they were flying over the heads of a group of warships in the port of Nagasaki. Then the belly opens. Some pieces of paper fell from there like snowflakes. Yuto Kawada visually surveyed the past. The two planes flew at an altitude of about 1,000 kilometers and were two aircraft with twin engines.

After the two planes flew over Chang Deform, they flew out of a large "U" shaped route in the air. Scraps of paper were spilled along the way, and then flew back in the direction they came. The entire long sky was soon covered with fluttering and falling white pieces of paper.

As they were about to leave, Yuto Kawada heard the sound of ping-pong in the distance, and Yuto Kawada, who had been a soldier, knew that it was the sound of anti-aircraft artillery. With sharp eyes, he even saw some black smoke on the flight path of the two planes, and Yuto Kawada knew that it was the smoke produced by the shells of the 76-mm anti-aircraft guns exploding in the air.

"What's going on? Could it be"

Soon, the pieces of paper dropped by the two planes fell to the ground and were scattered all over the city of Nagasaki.

Yuto Kawada picked up a few pieces of paper with the words printed in Japanese: "Letter to the Japanese people."

The Air Force of our Soviet Republic is now flying over your country. Our purpose is not to harm the lives and property of your people. Our mission is to explain to the Japanese people what kind of crimes your warlords are doing throughout the territory of China. Please listen...... Japanese brothers, among you, there are those who opposed war at the beginning and dreamed of justice and peace, and there are those who were deceived by the propaganda of the warlords and praised the war. But no matter what kind of person you are, you must be controlled by your country's speech, and it is difficult to understand the truth of the current situation. Therefore, I would like you to make the following explanation, and I hope you will consider it carefully."

As early as the sixth year of the Showa era, the warlords of your country propagated to the people in this way: "Manchuria is the lifeline of Japan, and as long as Manchuria is in hand, the people will be rich and the country will be strong." "However, it has been three years since the occupation of Manchuria, and in these three years, apart from the fact that the magnates of the military department have become big officials and become nouveau riche, what have the Japanese people gained? There are only heavy taxes, high prices, poverty and hunger, sickness and death. ”

"Yaga! What do the people of Hainan Airlines and Army Airlines eat! That's the Red Storm! ”

Yuto Kawada suddenly understood, and he was brainwashed by militaristic thoughts, and he was suddenly furious. He was not angry that the Red Army plane had thrown leaflets, but that he was angry at the incompetence of the HNA and Army Airlines, and was actually bullied by the "Red Tyrants" into throwing leaflets at the door of his house and slapping him in the face.

Five minutes later, Kawada saw several HNA planes hurrying through the sky, chasing in the direction of the two Chinese planes, but where could they catch up.

The two planes that dropped leaflets over Nagasaki were the HE111V that took off from Shanghai. As early as after the bombing of the Taiwan airfield, they returned to the Shanghai airfield to undergo the transformation of the Chuanmen in order to facilitate the "paper bombing" mission of this expedition to Japan.

The distance from Nagasaki to Shanghai is about 920 kilometers, and the HE111V is only a test model, not a mature model in the later stage, and it is not enough to fly back by the fuselage oil storage, so some space in the cabin must be transformed into oil storage space to increase the range.

The bombing of Nagasaki by the paper pieces of paper to add to Japan was a plan that Lin Han had already thought of before these two HE111s were sent to China, and it was also a part of his next plan to add fuel to the fire in Japan, and Lin Han began to lay out it very early.

In order to carry out this plan, the two HE111s removed all the fuselage weapons at Hongqiao Airport, leaving only one for protection against the rear-firing machine gun, and the middle of the rear fuselage was transformed into a large fuel tank with good spare parts that had been prepared long ago to increase the range.

The pilots and navigators on this mission, both German and Chinese, had flown HE70 airliners in the past, flew the route from Nagasaki to Shanghai many times, and were extremely familiar with this route.

After preparing for the order, the two HE111s took off from Hongqiao Airport at 3 a.m. on July 6, and after flying for several hours with only their instrument counts, they arrived over Nagasaki at 7 a.m. tonight, dropped leaflets, and then flew away.

In 1935, the world's air force was an era when bombers flew faster than fighter jets, because most of the fighters in this era were biplane fighters, and the maximum speed was about 300 kilometers per hour, while twin-engine bombers were all monoplanes with a speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour. Britain, the United States, Germany and the Soviet Union all had bombers designed with similar ideas, such as the German DO17.

Of course, with the advent of the monoplane fighter era, the speed of the fighter increased rapidly, and soon the idea of the bomber trying to escape the pursuit of the fighter by relying on speed became a thing of the past. But in Japan in 1935, even the maximum speed of a single vote did not exceed 300 fighters, and it was impossible to catch up with the HE111, which threw out the leaflets and lost much weight. Because of this, when these two HE111s were on the expedition to Nagasaki, they dared to dismantle the machine guns on the aircraft so that only one tail machine gun was left for weight reduction.

Lin Han's carefully planned paper bombardment was not just for propaganda.

At present, various factions in Japan have accumulated enough contradictions and grievances. Nagasaki was slapped in the face by the Chinese Air Force, which came and went freely like a back garden. The Imperial and Unified factions, who are dissatisfied with the status quo of the distribution of power in the country, will become a good tool for them to make a fuss about this after this incident.

This is only one link in Lin Han's instigation of the contradictions between the two factions, and the other link was laid down as early as when the arms dealer Francis spent a lot of money to steal arms from the Taiwan garrison to help Chen Jitang, and at that time he spent a lot of money to buy Japanese arms from the Taiwan garrison to aid the communists, but it was not just for the sake of asking for arms.
