Chapter 312 Going to Yunnan

Time flies.

By the time the German steel frenzy began to pour into Denmark and Norway, it was already April 1940.

Not much happened during this time, and the only bright spot was that the Chinese Air Force once again set off from Fujian to bomb many Japanese bases in Taiwan. Including airports, ports, barracks, warehouses, and so on. This wanton and indiscriminate bombing made the Japanese furious. However, in the face of the threat of the Chinese to the Taiwan Strait, the Japanese had to send a large number of additional aircraft and troops to Taiwan. This further reduced the strength of the Japanese army in Chinese mainland.

But that's just the beginning. The Japanese also want to retaliate.

But just when they reluctantly mobilized troops from all over the country and planned to sweep across the entire territory of Fujian, something even more terrible happened.

The Soviets, with hundreds of bombers, forced their way past the interception of the Japanese air force and landed at Vladivostok. The Kwantung Army was shaken, thinking that the Soviets wanted to protect the first fortress in the Far East to the death. Umezu Yoshijiro was determined to launch the last attack, and whatever the Soviets had in mind, they were determined to take the city before they could act. But he didn't expect that the hundreds of bombers would "flee" the next day! This puzzled him. However, when Aunt Amaterasu finally blessed Japan, just when Umezu Mijiro couldn't figure out what the Soviets were doing, a Japanese squad patrolling the battlefield outside Vladivostok reported that they had found a large number of Soviet planes turning around and flying towards the sea!

Maritime!

Fly out of the sea from Vladivostok...... Umezu Mijiro hurriedly issued a warning to the Korean garrison, as well as to the Japanese mainland. Soon after, he had to report that a large number of Soviet bombers had indeed invaded the Japanese archipelago. And judging by the direction of flight of these Soviet bombers, the target of the opposing side is most likely Tokyo.

Tokyo was also alerted. But Tokyo was unprepared.

In the eyes of the Japanese, although the Chinese bombed their island of Kyushu. But that's already the limit of the other party. Not to mention flying another 700 or 800 kilometers to bomb Tokyo, it is impossible to cross the Seto Inland Sea between Kyushu and Honshu Island, and to bomb Kobe, Osaka, and other cities located at the southern tip of Honshu Island. Therefore, after easily taking Ningbo, they thought that their homeland was already safe. And in order to prevent the same thing from happening again, they have placed a large number of lookout posts between the southeast coast of China and the island of Kyushu. At the same time, other relevant protective measures, such as anti-aircraft guns and aircraft, have also been prepared. In addition, the Navy has even arranged for warships to conduct regular patrols in the area.

Infallible.

This is the idea of the Japanese. But they never thought that the Soviets would suddenly kill them.

Although they urgently mobilized fighters, anti-aircraft guns near Tokyo. But it still failed to stop the menacing and murderous Soviet bomber group.

On April 15, 1940, Tokyo was bombed for the first time.

The Soviets used a lot of gasoline incendiary bombs...... This is different from the napalm used by the Chinese army, but it is absolutely effective against the large number of wooden houses in Tokyo.

……

"I heard that it was a very windy day. As a result, half of Tokyo was burned down. ā€

"It's windy? If there was a strong wind, the Soviet planes would have been blown away long ago. And how to bomb? ā€

"You just don't understand, do you? When the plane is flying in the sky. The wind is not small. So, in the event of a strong wind. Soviet pilots only needed to land the plane to a certain height. You can get away with it. ā€

"Really?"

"Of course."

The plane was swaying, Qin Wei shrank his head and buried half of his face in his coat...... He's worried. Although it was just an ordinary flight, and the weather outside was good, it was unlikely that any enemy planes would kill him, but he was still worried. He was afraid that the plane's safety performance was too poor. After all. Even decades later, the most advanced aircraft in the world had accidents from time to time, and there were often air crashes, and the planes of this period were even worse than those of later generations. How could he not be worried? So after taking off, he shrunk in his seat and kept praying to the river crab god and the crossing god to bless himself with safety.

"Hey, the surname is Qin."

Just after praying to the legendary river crab god again, Qin Wei was about to squint for a while, so that he could concentrate his mental power to contribute his wish and faith to the crossing god, when a small hand suddenly stretched out behind his back, pulling his collar and shaking.

"Qi Qi, don't mess around."

Lu Xiaojia, who hadn't appeared for a long time, hurriedly grabbed Qi Qi's hand back, but at this time, Qin Wei had already turned around with a depressed face:

"What?"

"I'm sorry, Professor Qin. Qi Qi, she didn't mean to. Lu Xiaojia hurriedly accompanied a smiling face. Just kidding, it's not the same time anymore. Qin Weina is a second-class general, one of the top figures in the Chinese army, and their major honorary president...... Any position must be respected, that is, Qi Qi, a stupid and rough stupid girl, dares to be like before.

"Why not intentionally? The surname Qin, can the plane fly on a windy day? Qi Qi obviously didn't know much about Lu Xiaojia's hard work, and when he saw Qin Wei turn his head, he immediately asked.

"That...... I don't know much either. Qin Wei hesitated for a moment and shook his head very ashamedly.

"You're the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, why don't you even know this?" Qi Qi shouted.

"I'm a soy sauce maker. Besides, my job is to make plans and direct battles, not to fly planes...... That's a question you have to ask the pilot. Qin Wei said.

"Actually, as far as I know, planes can still take off in windy weather, but not too windy. Otherwise, it will not be able to take off, because the excessive wind, coupled with the force generated by the speed of the aircraft itself, is very likely to overturn the plane directly. Zheng Pingru, who was sitting next to Zhou Tian, glanced at Qi Qi and the others, and said with a smile: "As for the Soviet bombers bombing Tokyo that you just talked about, I think it's no longer a matter of strong winds or bad winds. Because even if Tokyo was thundering and lightning at that time, the Soviet bomber pilots would not have turned back. They have to get the job done. ā€

"Yes." Qi Qi thought for a while, and his eyes lit up again: "The one surnamed Qin, you are the commander of the Air Force, do you know if the Soviet Air Force blew up half of Tokyo this time?" ā€

"Nope." Qin Wei nestled back into his coat, "There are more than a hundred bombers, and less than thirty of them can come back alive." Heavy losses. ā€

"Huh? ā€¦ā€¦ā€

Qi Qi, as well as Lu Xiaojia, Fang Hong, Wang Ji and others who were sitting with her, suddenly dropped their jaws in shock.

"No, it's not that the Soviets were very successful in this bombing, and they ...... Tokyo," stammered a girl huddled with Lu Xiaojia, her eyes full of disbelief.

"That's just to say it to the outside world. Just cheer up the Soviets themselves. Qin Wei shrunk his neck again, "In fact, after taking off from Vladivostok, the goal of the Soviets was exposed. Although the Japanese were unprepared, it was their base camp after all. So, when they were about to reach the skies over Tokyo, they were frantically intercepted by the Japanese native air forces. Although they eventually completed the mission of dropping bombs in Tokyo, they only burned down some of the houses in a corner of Tokyo. Although the losses of the Japanese were not small, they could not be regarded as too great a damage to Tokyo itself. ā€

"How so?" All the college students showed disappointed looks.

"Really." Qi Qi was the most dissatisfied, "The surname is Qin, it's all your fault." ā€

"We?" Qin Wei had already turned his head, and when he heard this, he turned back in astonishment, "What do you blame us?" ā€

"If you hadn't bombed Japan first, the Japanese would not have been able to defend themselves. In that case...... They might have succeeded this time. Qi Qi said.

"And then?" Qin Wei asked rhetorically.

"What, then?" Qi Qi glared at him, "The Japanese are invading everywhere, but now they can't even keep their capital, this will definitely greatly boost everyone's morale." ā€

"Oh." Qin Wei nodded indifferently and turned his head again.

"What's 'oh' and not 'oh'?" Qi Qi was extremely dissatisfied with his Taidu, "What kind of attitude do you have?" ā€

"Qi Qi!" Lu Xiaojia grabbed the girl's hand again, "Don't be unreasonable to Professor Qin." ā€

"What kind of professor is he? I didn't have a few days of classes. Qi Qi snorted coldly.

"It's not that I don't want to take classes, it's that even if I go to teach you, you won't understand what I'm saying...... Is it interesting to play the piano with a cow? Qin Wei shrunk his neck and said in an urn voice.

"What did you say?" Qi Qi was furious, "You look down on us! ā€

"Little girl, when you get off the plane, Lao Tzu will send you to the deep mountains and forests to catch spiders and scorpions...... Do you believe it or not? Qin Wei turned his head and looked at her faintly and asked.

"You, how dare you ......"

"In Kunming, except for Wang Longyun of Yunnan and Yang Jie, the commander of the garrison, no one is bigger than Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu is angry, these two people have to give me three points. Do you think I dare? Qin Wei asked again.

"I—I'm not going to go back to school." Qi Qi said.

Lao Tzu is the deputy commander-in-chief of the Yunnan Garrison Command, the commander of the Yunnan Production and Construction Corps, and the deputy director of the Yunnan-Guizhou Pacification Office...... In my words, not even a fly can fly out of Yunnan. You think you can go back if you want to? Qin Wei asked coldly.

"Hmph, when I'm afraid of you? It's a big deal that I transferred my student status to Southwest Associated University, and I will take classes in Kunming in the future. See what you can do with me. Qi Qi was-for-tat and showed no weakness.

"There's a kind." Qin Wei nodded twice, "Xu Yuanju!" ā€

"Sir!"

Xu Yuanju, who was sitting far away, hurriedly stood up. Qin Wei originally wanted to use him to take Zhao Lijun's position, and it can be regarded as a reward for this guy's work. Unexpectedly, Xu Yuanju refused, and had to follow him to Yunnan...... Dai Li was not interested in keeping people, and finally came with him.

"Find a parachute, tie this girl, and drop it! (To be continued......)
