The anti-aircraft fire over Tokyo was clearly tighter than over Hiroshima, and as soon as the planes reached them, the Japanese fighter group had already taken off to meet them.

The P40 and Blitzkrieg formations, which served as escorts, also immediately launched an attack. In the bomber where Liu Yun was, Wallace, who was wearing an A2 jacket, waved his arms and shouted to everyone, "Girls, move quickly!" ”

After the order to fight was delivered, the crew members wearing B3 flight jackets were busy.

"The top turret is in place!"

"Messenger in place!"

"The spherical turret is in place!"

"The machine gun in the middle left is in position!"

The voices of the boys were constantly heard in the cabin, and the self-defense cannons on both sides of the wing and the top turret were ready.

Although it was not the first time that the dozen or so members of the crew had carried out a mission, let alone the first time they had such close contact with an enemy plane, the tension and oppression still jumped on their faces, and the smell of pre-war in the air was very strong. After all, death is not an easy thing for anyone.

The Japanese group had already opened fire before they could move, and stray bullets flew over the wings and made a crackling sound. The top turret men immediately opened fire on the Japanese planes.

Dense anti-aircraft shells exploded around the fuselage, and at this time they could only dive, but before they reached the target area, Wallace and they had to continue to fly.

The planes began to pounce on Tokyo through the clouds, and as they dived down, dense anti-aircraft fire from the ground flew head-on, and anti-aircraft shells continued to hit the bombers.

After a while, Liu Yun saw that several planes around him had been hit. One of them was hit and burst into flames, billowing black smoke coming out of the fuselage, and it lost control, flipping over on its side, and the debris nearly hit the bomber not far from it.

Luck! It was all a matter of luck to survive.

The top turret had already fired, and the B17 was like a beast of prey, and the anti-aircraft shell hit his wing, but everyone was helpless, and Wallace drew a cross on his chest after scolding "damn the Japanese devil", and at this time he could only pray for God to bless.

Liu Yun heard the rustling sound of sand swaying in the tin jar, and estimated where he had been shot again. After the plane dives to a certain altitude, it drops the money in the cabin.

Other bombers also dropped the banknotes "*". Suddenly, a rain of banknotes fell over Tokyo, and a captain wielding * was directing to watch the flying pieces of paper fall and hit his face, and he picked up one and found that it was actually a banknote.

"Why is this thing?" The lieutenant was so angry that he tore the bill to shreds. And when they saw that the air raids dropped not what *, but money, these air defense soldiers were not so motivated.

Several soldiers tried to pick up the bills on the ground, but were scolded by the officers.

A few soldiers threw the banknotes on the ground, but while the officers were not looking, they still secretly stuffed some into their pockets.

"Yaga! This is the enemy's trick! It is disgusting that the American ghost animal has airdropped so many counterfeit coins, and these counterfeit coins will test everyone's loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor! A Shao Zuo came over and picked up a ball of counterfeit coins on the ground and tore them to pieces, but there were too many counterfeit coins, and he couldn't tear them all for a while, so he had to curse fiercely.

Seeing this, other officers and soldiers also came over one after another, reluctantly tearing the counterfeit money on the ground.

……

After the bomber had completed its task of dropping the banknotes*, it raised altitude and prepared to return home. Liu Yun's B17 is not in good condition, the wings and fuselage have suffered a lot of bullets, and bullet holes can even be seen from the vertigous window, but fortunately, there is no danger at present.

"Alright, girls, we're going to get back on our flight, and all the crews are reporting the damage." Captain Wallace inquired about the situation of each crew, and soon the other crews responded in turn.

"Head, I saw that Matthew's plane was shot down, and the crew didn't have time to parachute." A voice came over the radio, and Wallace sighed, "May God bless them!" ”

Liu Yun checked the oil and the main engine, and after a while, he reported the situation of his inspection, "One engine seems to have been hit, and the propeller is now significantly slower, and I am worried that this engine will stop." ”

Wallace seemed to be accustomed to this situation, and he shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's okay, as long as you don't encounter Japanese devils on the road again." ”

The bomber formation rose to altitude and began to return home, although the battle did not drop a single * for the Japanese, but the counterfeit money they dropped really brought a lot of shock to the Japanese.

Although the Japanese government has specifically seized counterfeit banknotes and strictly prohibits citizens from hiding counterfeit banknotes, they will be arrested immediately if they are discovered.

However, people are always greedy, and when people find that the money that can be picked up everywhere on the ground can really be used for spending, no amount of severe prohibition can resist people's greedy desires.

The influx of a large number of counterfeit banknotes has caused Japan's inflation rate to continue to rise, and as inflation rises, people's money in their hands becomes more and more worthless, and those counterfeit banknotes have a greater temptation for them. Thus, in early 1943, Japan fell into an economic circle carefully woven by the Chinese, and this phenomenon was even more serious in major cities such as Tokyo.

Prime Minister Hideki Tojo had to convene another cabinet meeting to discuss the matter, and he called investigators from the Metropolitan Police Department, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Military Affairs to scold him severely.

"Now you don't need to investigate the source of the counterfeit banknotes, now even the wild Langyi idiots on the side of the street know that these counterfeit banknotes fell from the planes of the Americans!"

was reprimanded so harshly by Hideki Tojo, the investigators of the three departments naturally lowered their heads and did not dare to speak, but they did not expect that the opponent would give up the traditional means of inflow and directly adopt such an extreme method.

The Minister of Finance said worriedly, "At present, the enemy's airdrops and the previous inflow of counterfeit currency are more than 10 billion yen, and other estimates are not included. We fear that if our adversaries continue to do this, our economy will collapse! ”

The Minister of Finance's speech attracted everyone's attention, and Hideki Tojo glanced at him and said seriously, "Tell me, what are your good plans?" ”

"Hayi! I think that the management of the pulp of the three trees should be strengthened and the enemy printing should be cut off from the source. In addition, it is necessary to continue to strengthen air defense. At present, thanks to the efforts of the Ministry of Finance and the Metropolitan Police Department, the inflow of counterfeit money through normal channels has been eliminated, and as long as management is strengthened, it will be cut off at the source. ”

The Minister of Finance's statement made the people in the military department very uncomfortable, but it was also a fact that Tokyo had been bombed recently, so he couldn't refute it, so he had to put the stuffiness in his stomach and then give the Minister of Finance a warning with his eyes.

However, the Minister of Finance turned a blind eye, because what he said just now had already drawn the people of the Metropolitan Police Department to his side.

Hideki Tojo nodded and continued, "So, what are you going to do with the counterfeit coins that are still circulating in the market?" ”

After hearing this, an official from the Metropolitan Police Department stepped forward and said, "Continue to take action to collect and call on the citizens to hand over all the counterfeit money they have picked up, and if they do not hand it in, they will be severely punished if they are found to be using it." In addition, it is necessary to publicize it in the newspapers and on the radio, and we at the Metropolitan Police Department can provide a large number of cases of people who have been arrested and imprisoned for using counterfeit money. I believe that under the high-pressure policy, most of the counterfeit money will be seized within a month. ”

Hideki Tojo clasped his hands behind his back and nodded helplessly, and he could only deal with it like this now, because they had no better way.

At this time, people from the military department also stepped forward and said: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we have made a new breakthrough in the source of counterfeit money. ”

"Tell me about it." Hideki Tojo showed great interest.

"The planes that bombed the Japanese mainland this time took off from the military airfield in China, that is, the joint bomber formation that China and the American ghost animals had just formed. There is reason to believe that the Government of China must have been involved in this operation. The military officer said confidently.

Hideki Tojo sat on the soft sofa, took off his glasses, rubbed his temples, and then put them back on, "Whether it's the Shina people or the American ghosts, the threat they pose to us can't continue to exist. ”

After speaking, Hideki Tojo suddenly stood up from his chair, he took a deep breath, and ordered with a full breath: "At all costs, the airfield of Shina and their combined air force will be completely destroyed." His Majesty the Emperor can't continue to be angry about this, understand? ”

The officials of the military department felt numb when they heard this, and the general staff headquarters of the Suzhou Airport had already formulated a number of plans, but none of them were successfully implemented. At present, the situation of the Japanese in the Chinese battlefield is very difficult, let alone an effective large-scale offensive, and it is somewhat difficult to maintain the current occupied area, but since the prime minister has already issued the order and heard that His Majesty the Emperor himself has personally inquired about the bombing, he naturally cannot take it lightly.

"Hayi!" The military officer paused for only a few seconds, then leaned on his heel and replied simply.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little low, Hideki Tojo raised his voice and said as if he was cheering: "At present, the empire is at the most critical and critical moment, and what is the future of the empire tomorrow, this year is the most critical year. I also ask you to work together to do your duty for the Empire tomorrow and His Majesty the Emperor, please! ”

After speaking, Hideki Tojo leaned on his heels and bowed slightly to show everyone.

"Hayi!" Everyone also leaned on their heels and bowed in the direction of Hideki Tojo.
