Chapter 1332: The Bombing of Okinawa (Part II)
The second lieutenant Yokodano, who was stuffing canned meat into his mouth, was frightened by the wolf-like movement of this private, and a mouthful of canned meat was stuck in his throat, and he rolled his eyes in a choked manner.
Yokota swallowed this mouthful of meat with great difficulty, and he was furious at the time, scolding: "Yaga, you are dead, you are working, and you are attacking your mother!" In such a ghost weather, you can't even see a ghost shadow, are you *** full and panicked? Get lost! As he spoke, he picked up an empty canned food box and shot it at the private, which was quite accurate, and suddenly buckled it in the face of the little devil soldier.
I really met a dead-eyed person, the captain of the Yokota squad looked like this, it was like being trampled on an egg, you took the opportunity to slip away, but this private didn't, when he joined the army, the instructor told him, and after reporting the situation, the commander didn't speak, so he must not leave, otherwise, he would despise the commander, and in the future, he would have to suffer.
This is also a real guy, I don't remember anything else, but I remember this word solidly, Yokota took a look, how is this guy who is not ventilated, a posture that is angry and does not pay for his life, these two days have really *** lived, I was beaten by that rival in love with a big mouth, I can bear it, who called it the boss, but this two-five-eyed private also put on a posture of not getting oil and salt, and he wanted to be angry with me!
Yokota raised his eyebrows, rolled up his sleeves, and was ready to fight, venting all the wretched anger he had received in the past few days on the body of this unlucky man, and before he could get ahead, from the distant sky, there was a faint roar, after all, Yokota had been stationed on Okinawa for several years, and his vigilance was still there, so he stopped suspiciously and looked at the sky in the northwest.
Nothing but thick clouds. Yokota still gave up his plan to teach this short-sighted private, picked up the phone, and asked for the command of the Seventh Air Force, "Moxi, Moxi!" I am Second Lieutenant Yokota, commander of the ground observation post. Did any of our aircraft pass through or land at Okinawa Airport today? Yokota's tone was humble and careful.
If you are not careful, in the headquarters, there is an officer who is a cut above him, and the officer who answers the phone is probably a chronic man, or he may think that Yokota is a small second lieutenant. Impatiently replied, "You wait, I'll check the record," followed by the sound of a paper flipping.
After waiting for five minutes, there was still no movement on the other side, and although Yokota was in a hurry, he didn't even dare to let out a fart, and a few more minutes passed. The other party finally moved, and the words "according to the records, ...... today" have not yet been finished. The roar had already reached the top of his head, and Yokota looked up, and his face changed dramatically.
Although he has never seen the aircraft of the Independent Division, and the appearance and livery are different from those of the Imperial aircraft, Yokota can still distinguish the "Air Raid!" Air raid! Pull the alarm! Yokota shouted at the private, but the dead-eyed devil soldier, staring at his commander with big eyes, looked at his commander inexplicably, like looking at a cat whose tail had suddenly been stepped on.
Yokota dropped the phone. A few steps to the siren "woo, woo, woo" siren, without warning resounded over the island of Okinawa, Yokota grabbed **** and ran out of the headquarters. When he was done, he didn't forget to kick the private hard.
As soon as the sirens sounded, the Okinawa airfield was in chaos, like ants doused with boiling water, and since the Seventh Air Force was stationed, it was attacked by enemy planes, and the Japanese pilots rushed out in a hurry and rushed to their planes.
The escort fighter group arrived over Okinawa Island before the bomber group to clear the obstacles for the air attack, Le Yiqin looked sideways at the situation on the airfield, ho, this chaos, the airfield, there are all little devil soldiers running around like flies, there are several Japanese fighters, already taxiing on the runway" All crews pay attention and begin to clear obstacles, focusing on the fighters and anti-aircraft guns of the little devils! ”
The fighter group and bomber group of the independent division came too suddenly, and according to normal conditions, such meteorological conditions were not suitable for ground bombing, and Ke Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang chose such weather in order to be surprised, and they were lucky enough to stand on Le Yiqin's side, and took off from the Shanghai airport until they reached the sky over Okinawa Island, and did not find a single patrolling Japanese fighter plane.
The Japanese fighters, who had just rushed out of the runway and were about to climb, collided head-on with the fighter group of the Independent Division, and a flurry of machine-gun bullets hit these Japanese planes and exploded into a ball of fire. The bombing of Okinawa kicked off the campaign.
The fighter group swept by at an ultra-low altitude, and the dense bullets kept fighting, and on the tarmac, the Japanese fighters and bombers were neatly arranged, like the Japanese fighters and bombers under review, were beaten to smoke and burst into flames, Le Yiqin did not participate, he took the wingman, specifically looking for those Japanese pilots and ground crew, the two fighters flew side by side, and the bullets were like sickles, and the Japanese pilots were staggered.
After coming back and forth twice, Le Yiqin saw that there was no longer a single intact Japanese plane on the airport, let alone a running little devil, so he pulled the fighter up and gave an order: "Attention to the bomber group, you can start and bomb me hard!" ”
Then, he called again: "Ground command post, is it Cuigang?" Man, we've already started, this time it's cheap, but it's a big deal, don't worry, none of them can run, man, let's do it here, the little devil will definitely react, pay more attention to the direction of the Korean Peninsula, and the little devil's carrier-based aircraft. ”
From the Shandong Peninsula to the coastal areas of Fujian, dozens of radar stations and hundreds of radars of the air force have formed a surveillance network of several thousand kilometers, and no Japanese fighter plane taking off can escape radar surveillance.
The more than 100 Japanese fighters on Okinawa Island were paralyzed on the airfield by the fighter group commanded by Le Yiqin in the first time, and the few Japanese antiaircraft guns became the focus of the fighter pilots' attention.
There were no Japanese fighter planes in the sky, and on the ground, there was no anti-aircraft artillery harassment of the little devils, this was probably the easiest bombing, and the bombers of the independent division, lined up in a neat bombing formation, dropped heavy aerial bombs one after another on the small island of Okinawa, and the screams of rows of bombs falling from the sky stimulated the Japanese soldiers who were still alive, their scalps were numb, and they were covered with goosebumps.
"Boom, boom!" The sound of explosions continued one after another, the flames soared into the sky, and thick smoke rose everywhere, and all the ground buildings on the airfield of the Seventh Air Force on the island of Okinawa collapsed with a bang, and then they were blown into broken bricks and tiles by bombs.
Immediately afterwards, the second-echelon bombers began the second round of bombing, this time, what was thrown was not a heavy aerial bomb, but the "Buddha Light" napalm, although there was no bomb explosion, there was no earth-shattering loud noise, and there was no spectacular scene of shrapnel flying sideways and gunsmoke, but the destructive power far exceeded that of ordinary aerial bombs.
In order to avoid the bombs falling from the sky, most of the Japanese pilots and ground crews on the Okinawa airport, as well as the soldiers of the guard force, all took refuge in underground bunkers, hoping that they could escape this catastrophe.
Until the liquid with blue flames flowed in from the doorway and through the cracks, igniting an object that could be burned, of course, including the Japanese soldiers hiding inside, screaming, terrible screams, with flames, the Japanese soldiers who rushed out of the underground bunker, thinking that they could take a way out, who knows, there is an even more fierce sea of fire outside.
The acting commander of the Seventh Air Force had just sent the information that Okinawa Island had been attacked by an independent division's aircraft group to the General Staff of the base camp, and the acting chief of the General Staff, Lieutenant General Ishihara Wanji, and then, running out of the steps, suddenly a fire rushed in, and he and all the Japanese officers and operators in the underground headquarters were surrounded by raging fire in an instant, and the strong cave could avoid the bomb attack, but could not avoid the burning gasoline.
Le Yiqin looked at the smoke billowing and the flames of Okinawa, and nodded with satisfaction, Le Yiqin, who had seen this scene many times, knew that the little devils on Okinawa Island, there could not be a living one, after the napalm was burned, I am afraid that within a year, even the plants would not grow "All formations pay attention and start to return" He gave the order.
After receiving the telegram from the Seventh Air Force on Okinawa Island, Lieutenant General Ishihara Wanji, acting chief of the General Staff, his first reaction was incredible, the empire mobilized all its air forces, and waited for the iron barrel of the local guard, bending the bow and reining in the horse, and the devil's air force came to touch the head and bleed, but the people of China did it in Okinawa.
Tang Qiuli made a big move, and gathered more than 1,000 planes in the southeast region of China, was it just for a small island? Ishihara asked a few whys, could it be that from the beginning of His Majesty the Emperor to himself, he was wrong? Ishihara's brain was a little insufficient.
However, there is one thing he is sober, if he allows the bombers of the independent division to bomb Okinawa and then retreat with his whole body, it will be a great blow to his prestige and prestige, and Prince Zaihito, who has thought about it behind closed doors but never wants to give up power, will definitely make irresponsible remarks, and his faction will support him and his plan to gain a firm foothold in the General Staff will also encounter many difficulties.
Ishihara Waner picked up a red telephone on the table, "I am Lieutenant General Ishihara Waner, acting chief of the General Staff of the base camp, and now, I order, the Third Air Force stationed on the mainland, take off immediately, intercept the returning Shina bomber group in the airspace of the East China Sea, and shoot down all of them!" Ishihara's eyes shone fiercely.
