Chapter 643: Great Northeast Strategy - The Bombing of Tokyo

November 2, 1941 is a special day that will be remembered by future generations. At 10 o'clock in the morning of that day, after a sharp siren sounded at Guisui Airport, more than 300 heavily armed pilots quickly ran out of the barracks and gathered at the airport to wait for the final order from the Northern Air Force Command.

Liu Nijia, commander-in-chief of the Northern Air Force, personally went to the airport to do the most difficult war mobilization, and in front of the viewing platform at the airport, Liu Nijia strode up to the rostrum surrounded by a group of generals and colonels, looked around at all the officers and soldiers present, and then said loudly: "Yes: take a break and stand upright!" ”

"Chinese Blue Sky Knights, it is an honor for you to represent the country and the people! What's even more honored is that I, Liu Nijia, am also one of you! Knights, what does it mean to take a break? On behalf of us, we are a soldier! The duty of a soldier is to defend the Motherland! A soldier's vocation is obedience! The duty of a soldier is dedication! No matter what the purpose of being a soldier, but! Remember, we are now a military man! The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while! Now the motherland needs us, and tens of millions of people in the Northeast need us! So please hold your head high and stand tall and fight for the Motherland and for honor! ”

"Knights! Eagles!! Are you ready!! ”

More than 300 pilots and thousands of ground crews replied in unison: "Always ready!! Always be ready to !! Always be ready to !! ”

"Very good, I won't talk about more, the specific combat plan has been sent to your division commander, and he will personally carry out this mission with you, I wish you a successful start! Let's go!!! ”

As soon as Liu Nijia's words fell, an officer dressed in neat clothes and ready stepped out. Said loudly: "All of them, ten minutes to fill in the bereaved family, and hand over the written suicide note to the respective squad leader, the squad leader will hand it over to the squadron, and the squadron will hand it over to the division headquarters, and board the plane in ten minutes!! ”

Ten minutes later, huge warplanes took off from Guisui Airport and headed east.

Hailar. The General Headquarters of the Great Northeast Strategic Front Enemy.

In the combat command room, Chen Feng paced around with a serious face, and the cigarette in his hand had been extinguished. All that's left is a small half of a burnt cigarette butt. But Chen Feng obviously didn't notice this, and Shang Zi held it in his hand.

All the officers and men in the command room knew that Commander Lu Dao was thinking about the problem, and they were all used to such a situation, and the more they devoted themselves to it. It shows that the more important and complicated the matter that Commander Chen considers, the more complicated it is. So all the people in the command room did not dare to speak loudly.

Chen Feng was indeed thinking about things. The mission of the Northern Air Force was to bomb Tokyo, which was a plan to retaliate against the Japanese, and this plan was drawn up by himself.

As a military man. Chen Feng thinks that he is a very pure soldier, and he is also a qualified and upright soldier, he does not have much ambition, he does not want to do the thing of being the king and hegemon, everything he does is to change the fate of his comrades, that's all.

However, today's events made him suspicious of himself, and he knew that the more than 300 strategic bombers that took off from Guisui Airport today were going to the capital of Japan, and the planes were loaded with improved bombs that amounted to tens of thousands of tons, instead of the leaflets made by the Nationalist Government.

This is not a friendly demonstration like in '38, but a real lesson to teach the Japanese. If it is said to be a lesson to Japan, Chen Feng raised his hands and feet in favor. But after all, the aristocratic royal family in Tokyo is a minority, and more residents are Japanese civilians, although Chen Feng has always believed that Japanese civilians are not innocent, but using tens of thousands of tons of bombs to bomb civilians, Chen Feng always felt that this was not what he saw, nor was it his style of doing things.

However, Japanese soldiers and armed immigrants are now massacring Chinese civilians in Northeast China, and tens of thousands of Chinese civilians have been killed or injured in just a few days, and such atrocities must be severely punished.

From the perspective of the nation, Chen Feng knew that he was righteous, but when he thought that thousands of Japanese civilians would die tonight as a result of his decision, and many more would be homeless, Chen Feng's heart was extremely heavy.

Chen Feng sighed slightly in his heart, it has been four or five years since he secretly said, and he is still an ordinary person, and he can't be truly ruthless.

Although there was a certain sense of guilt in his heart, Chen Feng still did not change his decision, the Japanese government and their people must pay the price they deserve for what they have done, and they must eat what kind of fruit they sow, and this is still the case for a person, let alone a country and a nation.

The days in November are very short, just after 6 p.m., and the city of Tokyo is already lit up. Although Japan is now fighting against the whole of Asia and the Western countries that have penetrated Asia for hundreds of years, the Japanese have always believed that their Great Japanese Empire is the most powerful country in the world, and their army is also the most first-class army in the world.

Ono Misakitaro was a small clerk at Mitsui Corporation, and at half past six he dragged his tired body back to his home in Chiyoda-ku, where they worked 13 hours a day due to the war, so Ono felt tired every day.

The lights in the house are on, and as usual, the wife comes back a little earlier than him, although the government requires women to go out of the house to work to make up for the lack of labor, but women are different from men after all, they must think about the family, so female factory workers generally leave work an hour earlier than men.

Hearing the movement outside the door, the hostess Kumiko leaned out of the kitchen to check, and saw that it was her husband, Kumiko hurriedly came out to greet her, which is what a Japanese woman must do.

"Ono-kun is back, please sit down for a while, the meal will be ready soon, there is your favorite seaweed sushi today!" Kumiko said softly.

"Nori sushi? Did the government give out rice today? Ono asked with a little surprise, knowing that they hadn't eaten sushi for a long time, and the government distributed some unpalatable brown rice and multigrain noodles to each family according to the population, and all the delicate grains such as rice were delivered to the front line, and ordinary citizens had been distributing rice for almost two months.

"Yes Ono-kun. It is said that the imperial army had just won a decisive victory in the Philippines and occupied an island controlled by the Americans, so the government distributed ten catties of rice to each family. Kumiko replied.

"Only ten pounds?"

"Ono-kun, this is already the most generous of the government in the past six months, ten catties is not bad, enough for the two of us to eat for twenty days!" Kumiko said.

Soon the meal was ready, as simple as a plate of sushi and a soup, followed by a small plate of pickles.

Ono and Kumiko knelt on the tatami mat facing each other, and the two of them folded their hands in prayer. And only then do you start eating. It's a habit they developed two years ago. It is to pray for the blessing of his son Ono Yong who died on the battlefield in China.

Just as the two of them were about to eat, there was a sudden low buzzing sound in the sky, followed by an explosion in the distance, although it was not very clear. But it was an explosion.

However, Ono and Kumiko didn't pay much attention to it. It's a time of war. Although the Tokyo battlefield was thousands of miles away, the defenders of Tokyo still conducted exercises from time to time, and it is understandable that the situation was at all times.

However, things are far from being as simple as Ono and Kumiko imagined. Shortly after the explosion, a shrill siren suddenly remembers in the castle, and to Ono's surprise, this time it is an air raid siren, which only sounds every year when the national festival is held. I didn't expect it to ring suddenly.

Suddenly, Ono thought of a terrible possibility, at this time the air defense siren sounded, could it be that the American plane was coming?

Before Ono could speak, a loud explosion sounded not far from his house, and when he looked up, he saw that a six-story building not far away had been hit by something, and suddenly a skyrocketing fire broke out. Immediately after that, a large number of surrounding buildings were ignited, and the fire quickly spread to all directions, and the speed was extremely fast.

The stunned Ono couldn't care about the delicious sushi on the table and the 10 catties of rice that he had just received at home, so he pulled the frightened and inexplicable Kumiko and ran outside.

When they went out, they realized that something was wrong, there was chaos outside, there were fires everywhere, people were scurrying around, and from time to time there was a low buzz in the sky, and every time it was accompanied by bombs. The enemy finally came to the door, which was the only thought in Ochi's heart.

The bombing lasted for two and a half hours, and most of the city of Tokyo was in flames, including the Imperial Palace. Two hours later, the enemy plane flew away, but the fire continued.

It wasn't until dawn that the fire in the city was extinguished, and the panicked Japanese people began to clean up the rubble under the government's organization to look for hidden fires and treat the wounded.

Since Japan is a country with many earthquakes, Japan's buildings are mainly made of relatively light wood, and for this kind of construction, the strategic bombing units of the Eighth Theater carry all the solid gasoline incendiary bombs except for a few high-explosive aerial bombs.

Napalm is made of colloidal gasoline as the main ingredient into a bomb body, this kind of bomb can produce a high-temperature flame when it explodes, and is filled with a gelatinous substance made of gasoline and other chemicals, which is splashed around when exploding, emitting a high temperature of about 1,000 degrees Celsius, and can stick to other objects and burn for a long time.

Napalm against a city like Tokyo is the most appropriate thing from a war perspective. However, the scene after the solid petrol bomb burned was simply horrific, and the heat generated by the explosion could not only destroy buildings, but also make it difficult for anyone to survive the purgatory-like fires.

In addition, the napalm that splashes on people after the napalm explodes, like lard paste, is viscous and burn-resistant, and if a person uses his hands to slap it, the fire will become bigger and bigger, and if he rolls on the ground to extinguish the fire, his whole body will be on fire.

And once there is more fire on the person, the people on the side should try to stay away from the person on fire, because the struggle of the person on fire is easy to throw the burning oil block on the body of others to form a secondary killing effect, if for humanitarian reasons, it is recommended that it is best to end the life of the person on fire with a gun, because the victim of napalm, it can be said that death is the greatest relief. Therefore, Tokyo that has been hit by napalm is like a yam egg that has been burned by fire, and none of it is good, which is very terrifying. (To be continued......)
