In addition, it is different from the day of the Doolittle and his air raid on Tokyo.

At the beginning, Doolittle and his entourage secretly conducted a small air raid.

If you want to attack the important city for a day, it involves not only the determination of the shipping route, the collection of intelligence, the prevention of the Japanese air defense forces, and even a series of uncertain factors.

In addition, the route was too long, even if the bomber departed from the aircraft carrier, it sailed more than 6,000 kilometers back and forth, and finally completed the scheduled bombing plan with a fluke element.

As a result, the fighter eventually ran out of fuel and had to make a forced landing in the Quzhou area of China.

Doolittle and his entourage regarded death as home, and no one even had the idea of surviving the mission.

Later, if it weren't for the help of the Chinese military and civilians, Doolittle and his heroic pilots would have been poisoned by devils.

From this point of view, the successful bombing of Tokyo by Doolittle and his entourage was almost an irreproducible feat with an element of luck under the conditions of the time.

But the Eighth Route Army's air raid was much simpler.

Not to mention that the route is much closer.

According to the demarcation of the route, it is enough to bomb some ports and military targets of the devils at sea, as well as parked warships and ships.

Intelligence gathering is also much less difficult.

The coastal ports, wharves, military factories, military bases, and the like are so obviously placed in the coastal areas, in short, what is caught and what is bombed, and all kinds of bombers will drop all the bombs they carry.

The desired effect is to slap the face and humiliate the Japanese army.

At the same time, it also plays a deterrent role.

Aren't you known as a military power and an aviation power in your childhood?

It's okay to be bombed once by the pretty guy's bombing force.

At present, the aviation unit of the Eighth Route Army, which has always been looked down upon, the so-called Hanako team, bombed once again in a large-scale bomber formation.

This little day is destined to be disgraced!

In fact, after secretly formulating the plan for this bombing day.

The Eighth Route Army has also discussed how many fighters it will use to carry out the bombing mission.

It stands to reason that in order to enhance secrecy in this kind of surprise attack operation, the number of fighters used at one time should not be too much, for example, when Doolittle and his party attacked the air raid on a small day, with the strength of the US military aviation, it only used 16 B25 bombers.

The generals were divided over this.

In the end, the deputy commander-in-chief waved his hand, looked at Kong Jie, and handed over the decision to Kong Jie, the builder, founder and person in charge of the aviation unit of the Eighth Route Army.

Kong Jie said at the time: "Little Japan is now basically focusing its attention on its own air defense on strong opponents such as Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union.

Jiang Jun and they looked down on them.

As for our Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army may have received some news that the construction of our aviation unit has developed rapidly in recent years, and in the previous confrontations for air supremacy, the devil's flight unit has suffered a lot of losses.

But in the end, our foundation is too weak, and it has almost become a habit for little devils to underestimate our aviation power.

At least so far, the devil will never think that our Eighth Route Army has such courage and strength to dare to take the initiative to launch an air attack on his small day.

We should naturally seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and take advantage of the fact that the devil is not too wary of the aviation unit of our Eighth Route Army.

If you don't come to some fierce material, how can you make the little devil completely crazy?

And to be honest, if it weren't for our subsequent battle plan for advancing into the Kanto region, we would have to preserve the strength of our aviation forces.

Based on our current situation, let's not talk about the various fighter squadrons aided by the Allied countries.

Even if the number of fighters produced by our own fighter production line in the base area has been quite a lot, and the Mosquito night fighter has reached the level of mass production.

In addition, we do not have a corresponding production line for our strategic bombers aided by the United States and the British, and it is expensive to repair and maintain, and our Eighth Route Army's economic situation simply cannot afford such expenses.

It can be used in ordinary battles, which is really a bit of a luxury.

After the end of this bombing mission, I think these impractical fighters can almost be eliminated, and I am still thinking about selling them to Jiang Jun at a suitable price, and then we will make a little difference from the middle!

In any case, Doolittle and his party, which pioneered the bombing of small days, used 16 bombers.

Since our Eighth Route Army wants to be the second crab eater, in terms of scale, momentum and courage, it must be better than the United States! ”

In this way, the final size of the fighters to carry out the bombing mission was set at 13 squadrons, more than 100 fighters, and a total of more than 200 elite pilots, including the American pilots who carried out an air raid on Tokyo by Doolittle and his entourage, to participate in the operation.

"While the Japanese army is unprepared, we must give him some ruthlessness!"

"As soon as these more than 100 planes appear, you can take a look, not to mention that the little devils in our China are going to go completely crazy, and the local devils in those small days are afraid that they won't even be able to sleep!"

……

In the end, considering the distance of the route and the Korean area colonized by Xiaori, the bombing force may also encounter the interception of the Japanese army.

According to the decision of the aviation command, Chief of Staff Liu of the Aviation Command of the Eighth Route Army and Doolittle led the bomber unit to carry out this mission.

According to different mission objectives, it is divided into five battle formations.

The first formation, led by Staff Officer Liu, was responsible for bombing the barracks and warehouses of the Devil's native defense troops on the outskirts of Nagasaki.

The second formation, led by Davis, was responsible for carrying out air raids on some industrial bases on the outskirts of Nagasaki, and bombed all the small arms factories, artillery factories, ammunition factories, and scientific research centers to the devils.

The third formation, led by Doolittle, was responsible for carrying out air raids on naval bases and major ports in the Nagasaki and Fukuoka areas, and bombed the devil's naval bases, docks, warehouses, oil depots, barracks, and power plants.

The fourth formation is a temporary formation, consisting of the Katerina Search and Rescue Squadron and the radar squadron, targeting the docks in the Nagasaki and Fukuoka areas, as well as ships calling at the port, and conducting indiscriminate bombing.

The fifth formation is a squadron of night mosquito fighters, which mainly carries out air strikes on airfields near Nagasaki and Fukuoka, and knocks out the nearest aviation units that the devils can quickly pursue.

The formation flight route is as follows: departing from the temporary airfield of Haiyang in Jiaodong, crossing the Yellow Sea in a southeasterly direction, while avoiding the Korean Peninsula, along the coastal area at the northern tip of the Korean Peninsula, with the shortest direct route to Nagasaki and Fukuoka in Kohi.

The P38 long-range night reconnaissance squadron, which is in charge of navigation, will drop propaganda bombs on Nagasaki and Fukuoka during the large-scale air raids, carrying out symbolic air raids.

Their target is small, fast, and they drop a bomb immediately and completely, which can further distract the devil's vision.

On this summer rainy day, the black lights are blinding, and the Nagasaki and Fukuoka areas are so big, and a symbolic bombing can scare the devils half to death even if they can't cause casualties.

There are also some special factors to consider.

After the final discussion, the General Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army decided that the plan for this air raid could be carried out in a joint cooperation with the US side.

It was Doolittle who came forward and contacted the submarine units near the Japanese waters where the US military was active, and asked them to stay on the air group's course of action.

After all the bombers have taken off one after another, they will be distributed mission maps, divided into flight groups, and have contact codes for locating and contacting the three US submarine detachments operating in Japanese waters.

The first point of contact of the US submarine force is in the Yellow Sea, the second point of contact is near the waters around Nagasaki, and the third point of contact is off the coast of Nagasaki.

to coincide with the air raid plan.

In addition, there is a lot of new equipment to help this time.

A new type of navigation radar developed by the Special Experimental Area of the Eighth Route Army can operate reliably in extreme weather such as rainy days.

One is the bomber's night bomb sight, which can accurately observe and calculate the trajectory of the bomb landing point in low-light conditions at night.

There is also a short-wave radar jamming signal instrument, which is specially used to jam the local radar network of the devil.

When this batch of advanced radar equipment was delivered, the Yankees almost dropped their jaws in shock, because they never thought that such advanced science and technology in the military field would be developed by the Eighth Route Army.

This is the beginning of a two-engine cooperation.

In this regard, the US side was amazed and said that it was very willing to assist the Eighth Route Army in its air raid plan.

In addition, it is hoped that when the US side expands its naval activities to the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, the air force of the Eighth Route Army can also provide some support and jointly deal with the Japanese army, even if the seaplanes can supply some supplies in the past.

This is a win-win cooperation, and the two sides hit it off.

At least for the time being, the two sides still have common interests, common enemies and goals.

In fact, according to the analysis made by Kong Jie at the headquarters meeting.

The purpose of doing this.

First, after the end of this air raid, Xiaori will definitely be annoyed and angry, and since it is an arch fire, it is better to pull the US side together to help bear some pressure.

It is inevitable that Xiao Ri will think about whether the air raid operation will be led by the Eighth Route Army, or by the United States, or whether it will be a joint air raid by the two sides.

This wave of smoke flicked down, and the Japanese army may not be able to judge clearly.

Second, it is to continue to cover up the devils' intelligence collection of the Eighth Route Army's aviation industry, so that they can shift from closely monitoring the development of the Eighth Route Army's aviation industry to collecting strategic bomber units, the frequency of sorties from permanent airfields in the rear, the routes to carry out tasks, and the direction of the newly built forward airfields.

After all, the mainland has been attacked by air raids, and even if Xiaori is unwilling, he has to shift his strategic focus.

And so it goes.

The large-scale aviation production bases established by the Eighth Route Army in Baotou, Yan'an, and Huangyadong, the three solid core base areas, will be a little safer.

So far, these large aviation production bases have been able to mass-produce various types of fighters, including the Yak-5 improved fighter, the La-5 improved fighter, the P38 improved fighter, the Zero Type 52 fighter (this model is less tested equipment), the Type 1 fighter (this production line used to repair in Zhangjiakou is also experimental equipment), the P47 fighter (a small number of mass production test equipment), the Mosquito bomber, the B25 bomber (a small number of mass production test equipment), SBD dive bomber, 98 light explosive (a small number of mass production of experimental equipment), 99 dive bomber (a small number of mass production of experimental equipment), TB3 bomber (Soviet transfer production line), Li 2 transport aircraft, C47 transport aircraft, a reconnaissance aircraft and so on.

Make a fortune with a muffled voice.

When the hidden aviation power of the Eighth Route Army is completely revealed, let alone the Japanese army, I am afraid that the whole world will be shocked.

And before that, of course, the more low-key the better.

According to Kong Jie's long-term plan for the construction of aviation units.

The Eighth Route Army Air Force can even begin to try to carry out a second reform, preparing to standardize and equip American and Soviet-made bombers and fighters.

As for those Japanese fighters, except for the Type II fighters, which were retained for research and development as high-altitude and high-speed heavy fighters, the rest could be gradually phased out and let them go to the forward airfield to cooperate with the infantry in combat.

……

Everything.

It was a rainy night.

The five air units were first approaching the coast at the western end of Hitoshima in accordance with the established air routes, and then they advanced in multiple directions according to the original battle plan, approaching the port areas around Nagasaki and Fukuoka respectively.

At this time, the originally torrential rain seemed to be a little lighter, and with the detection of radar, the various battle formations quickly locked on to the bombing targets of this trip.

It's already a hot summer.

Under the irrepressible excitement, the soldiers only felt that their palms were getting more and more sweaty.

The rainy night obscured the sound of heaven and earth, and even the roar of the engine seemed to be hidden, and the distant day harbor was silent, unaware of the death that was rapidly approaching in mid-air.

"Fire!"

Commands were issued from command planes, and loud voices echoed in the cockpits of the fighters and bombers.

Two squadrons of strategic bombers from Lancaster, totaling 24 bombers, were the first to dive down.

After quickly locking on to the target with the help of radar detection, the bombs carried one after another are projected towards the bombing target.

Boom –

Hidden in the rainy night, the heavy bomb carrying the breath of destruction exploded fiercely in the port area along the coast of Xiaori.

As the flash of the fire appeared, a small mushroom cloud rose, and around the explosion area, a large area of night rain was instantly evaporated, and everything in the harbor, ships, roads, buildings, and the major factories and containers of the day wharf were all shrouded in the explosion.

The wailing was naturally inaudible, and those little days who were still asleep didn't have time to make a sound, and in an instant, along with the flesh and all the breath, they were completely annihilated in the explosion.

The madness of the rainy night kicked off completely......
