1232 Hearty air raid, evacuation

…… The command plane's orders were then transmitted.

The bombers carried a limited number of bombs and would never waste too much ammunition in an area.

In fact, before the bombing operation was launched, the Eighth Route Army's Huangyadong Strategic Bomber Aviation Command had already begun preparations.

Commanders and technical personnel in various fields have constantly improved the routes, determined the types of aircraft and types of ammunition that can be applied, and have speculated on the amount of ammunition that needs to be dropped in the same port and at the same wharf through the power of various types of heavy bombs.

They even secretly conducted simulated flight training in anticipation and overcoming all kinds of difficulties that might be encountered at any time when the actual bombing campaign was launched.

Bombers whizzed by, one area was blown up, and then another.

The sky-high light of the fire was the only bright spot in the dim night rain.

Under the artillery fire, in addition to the cold ships, buildings, and factories, there must have been soldiers and civilians who lived in them.

The aviation officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army looked at all this with a deep sense of indifference, not because of human indifference, but because of the deep hatred of the sea of blood, the bitterness of the blood debt paid under the hatred of the family and the country.

Do executioners also deserve mercy?

We didn't bomb your densely populated cities with bombers, and that's what we did.

When did you dog-day Japanese invaders think about those fresh lives, when did you condemn your own hearts, and when did you think about the so-called benevolence when you bombarded the skies over our Chinese soil and cities full of innocent people?

Fry it, fry it, blow it up.

It's really painful.

It's really enjoyable!

Is a lowly nation like the days worthy to exist?

β€”β€”This is the silent roar from the bottom of the hearts of the soldiers whose families were ruined under the brutal slaughter and aggression of the Japanese invaders, this unforgettable, unforgettable hatred, who dares, who has the face, to say the word "forgiveness" for them?

The blood debt shall be paid with blood.

This is a truth that has not changed through the ages.

The night rain completely obscured almost all the sounds, and the wails and sorrows from the executioner were just a clapping and dripping music of revenge intertwined between heaven and earth.

Under the cover of the night rain and the reflection of the sea of fire,

One after another, fighter planes then extended the bombing line along the coast in accordance with the established bombing plan, vowing to destroy all targets before the missiles ran out.

It was a surprise attack under the night rain.

Stand out in one as fast as lightning.

In response to the bombing of the port, the focus was on the ships and warships that were docked in a centralized manner, as well as all kinds of equipment, buildings, factories, and barracks at the docks.

After quickly destroying these targets, the bomber team did not stop at all and continued to the next port.

With the communication news of the various formations, the news came.

The air raids were surprisingly smooth.

It all started with the downpour that affected the coastal areas of China and Japan.

On this rainy day, all the airfields of the air force, which had been a small day, drove their planes to the hangars to take shelter from the rain, the anti-aircraft artillery positions also received equipment to the warehouses, and the production bases were even brightly lit to pump water and drain water.

The little devil never dreamed that at this juncture, the most unexpected enemy, the Eighth Route Army, would actually send an air force to attack him.

It's just such a coincidence.

In the Nagasaki area, the teleprobe unit at the core of the devil's defense circle was worried about the damage to the equipment due to the heavy rain, and even turned off the radar.

On this rainy day, there is also thunder, in case the equipment is damaged by lightning, whose loss is counted?

It seems that even God is partial to helping the Eighth Route Army!

With such a powerful cooperation of the little devils, the air raid operation of the Eighth Route Army Air Force led by Chief of Staff Liu and Doolittle and his entourage went smoothly as if it were no one.

In the Fukuoka area, the devils did not turn off the air defense telepronation network, but in fact, these are almost the usual teleprobe networks, and the actual effect is not very good.

Not to mention the small number, it is also extremely unreliable.

In the final analysis, this period boasted that it was a small day for the air force to be a powerful country, but in fact, it did not master the advanced technology in the field of aviation.

That is, in the case of rookies pecking at each other, bullying and bullying China that was backward at the same time.

In addition, there has always been an unsolvable problem in the local anti-air defense operations -- the land area is too small, there is almost no depth of defense, and the US bomber formations are all coming from the sea, and when your radar network discovers it, it is basically almost at its destination.

There was simply no time to intercept.

In addition, as soon as the radar jamming equipment carried by Doolittle and his entourage was turned on, it was almost a dimensionality reduction strike, and the air defense units set up by the devils along the coast were useless.

Everywhere in the airfields where the strikes were targeted, the parked fighter planes were completely destroyed in the airfields before they had time to take off.

All of a sudden, Kori was in charge of Nagasaki, and the headquarters of the local garrison in the Fukuoka area was completely fried.

Under the rainy night, with the rapid increase in the air raid area of the Eighth Route Army's air force, the Nagasaki shipyard, the barracks of the 12th Division of the Devil's homeland, the arsenal, and the warships anchored in the ports around Fukuoka and Nagasaki all suffered.

It's really a coincidence that there is no book.

Kori has recently spent a lot of financial resources and gathered a considerable number of warships to concentrate in the waters near Nagasaki.

What for?

It is used to wait for Okamura Ninji's No. 1 battle plan to succeed and completely open up the communication line of Chinese mainland, so that these ships can be quickly reinforced to assist the Sino-Japanese war!

As a result, it was just hit by the air raid troops of the Eighth Route Army and was blown up.

And that's not all.

On this day, Nagasaki is particularly lively, especially near the port.

- Later, the historical record of this day on the small day was written like this:

July 7 was an unfortunate day for Nagasaki, but it was also a day of great shame, as heavy rain began to fall at noon, and thunder and lightning broke the largest communication tower in Nagasaki, causing the repair progress to be particularly slow. The short-wave radio network deployed by the army's air-to-air reconnaissance unit on the high ground was also partially damaged by lightning strikes, and the riverside Shaozo, who was on duty on the radar network, turned off the remaining radars after asking for instructions, and decided to wait for the thunderstorm to pass before turning on the machine, and began to repair the equipment, leaving only the air defense and microphone units on alert.

Due to heavy rains, thunderstorms, and flash floods, the power system in the Nagasaki area failed, and there were problems with communications, electricity, and transportation.

In the afternoon, because the rainfall exceeded the flood drainage system, the Nagasaki airport was seriously flooded, and all the patrol aircraft squadrons that had taken off as planned were grounded, and all the planes at the airport were moved to the warehouse to take shelter from the rain.

Under the orders of the Air Defense Command, all air defense positions were moved into bunkers to shelter from the rain.

The headquarters of the 12th Division in the Nagasaki area ordered all the troops scattered for training to return to the barracks and all the equipment to go into warehouses to take shelter from the rain.

The Nagasaki Military Port also began to transfer supplies and equipment after the warships were moored, and it was a mess.

The most fatal thing is that this day is the anniversary of the all-out holy war, and the news of the great victory of Yuxiang and Guizhou came, and the army and navy, as well as relevant government personnel, held celebrations respectively, and a large number of officers left their posts.

Under the superposition of these various factors, the enemy's bomber units were like no one, and even when explosions occurred one after another in military ports, arsenals, and barracks, there was a disturbance.

The air defense command here reported hearing the roar of the engine, and the air defense command here regarded him as a night training for the air force; The Navy observed an explosion in downtown Nagasaki and joked that the Army couldn't even look at a warehouse. Then the Navy was bombed, and the Army also laughed at the Navy being struck by lightning.

In the end, the multi-party communications department reported that it had been hit by an unknown air raid, and then the alarm of the whole city was hurriedly sounded...... The whistling of enemy fighters came from above, the dense bombs mixed with the same dense rain, almost indistinguishable, and the vast expanses were covered, and as the artillery fire swallowed everything, we looked desperately at our companions who were quickly torn apart by the high temperature, as if they were no longer in the world......

This night was destined to be a nightmare for the devils of Nagasaki.

More than 100 enemy planes roared in the night sky.

Probably since the beginning of the appearance of planes in various countries, since the rapid rise of Japan to become a military power, Xiaori has never suffered such a number of fighter air raids.

Almost all of the ports surrounding Nagasaki and Fukuoka were bombed.

A large number of docks were directly destroyed, and all kinds of military equipment, docked warships, barracks, aviation bases, and major reserve warehouses in the Nagasaki area were all covered by enemy ploughing artillery fire.

The devil officers of the Japanese command, who were finally determined to have been attacked by enemy air raids from overseas, roared and went completely crazy.

The tragedy of Doolittle and his entourage's air raid on Tokyo seems to be still vivid.

At present, it is being subjected to such an arrogant and crazy air raid by the enemy.

What kind of so-called little Japanese empire is there any bullshit majesty to talk about?

"Bastard, we've got to get rid of all these damn air raid bastards!"

The devil officers of the high-level command organs of the Japanese army, who quickly heard the news, were even more furious.

Death orders were issued in a sea of channels - at all costs, even if it was to pursue all the way to the enemy's homeland, this arrogant air force would be completely destroyed.

After the order was issued, all kinds of night fighters from the air bases set up by the Japanese army in major cities were dispatched one after another to attack the Nagasaki and Fukuoka areas.

Over the sea near Nagasaki.

Under the lightning-fast air raid, the front and back did not last too long, and the aviation formations of the Eighth Route Army basically completed the pre-planned bombing mission.

Even if they could not see the situation clearly through the rainy night, the soldiers could almost imagine what a miserable situation the Japanese military bases at the major docks were under the cover of artillery fire.

What a pleasure!

Chief of Staff Liu and Doolittle seized the opportunity and immediately issued the order to set sail quickly and evacuate.

Of course, there is another dose of fierce material before evacuation!

-- Before the start of the air raid, Kong Jie had discussed with Chief of Staff Liu, Doolittle and his entourage how to cover the evacuation of the troops after the completion of the air raid mission.

Kong Jie is a man who does not fight unprepared battles.

In the end, according to the plan discussed by everyone: after the bombing, when the aviation units were ready to evacuate, a special formation was prepared to carry out covering air strikes. This formation also went out from the Jiaodong area, but the goal was to bomb the Sasebo area north of Nagasaki.

This formation was commanded by Staff Officer Zhou of the Air Force Command and was a formation composed of B25 and TB3 medium bombers, as well as a dummy aircraft towing formation composed of several squadrons of C47 and Lier transport planes.

The mission was to launch the dummy planes in the direction of the Japanese mainland after the air raids on the Sasebo airport, the port and various military targets, and then the main engine was quickly evacuated.

These fake planes, which have been specially processed to display the characteristics of strategic bombers on the radar and have a loud whistling sound, are a special surprise for the little devils.

And what kind of effect has been achieved?

-- After the Nagasaki air raid ended, the devils came back to their senses, and the high-level command even issued a dead order to intercept the enemy planes attacking Nagasaki and Fukuoka at all costs.

As a result, just as the devil was about to dispatch an air force to take off urgently and intercept it, he suddenly received news that the Sasebo area was also under air raids, and even a larger bomber formation was heading towards Honshu Island.

The local population was even hiding in fear, and the terrifying roar of the engines of enemy planes passing low could be heard under the night sky.

At this moment, the high-level command of the Japanese army was completely stunned.

Although they don't understand it at all.

After bombing the ports around Nagasaki and Fukuoka, not only did they not evacuate immediately, but even dared to continue to carry out air raids in depth.

Are they determined to die, are they crazy?

To this point.

Although the little devil was furious, there was nothing he could do.

The priority at the moment is not to blindly pursue the damned enemy air fleet, but to be the first to move military targets and civilians in the vicinity of the enemy's bomber route overnight, and at the same time to quickly intercept the enemy plane advancing deep into the homeland.

Air strikes must not be allowed to spread to densely populated inland cities.

At the airports in Nagasaki and Fukuoka, due to the heavy rain, the air force drove its planes to the hangars to take shelter from the rain, the anti-aircraft artillery positions also received equipment to the warehouses, and the production bases were even brightly lit to pump and drain water.

It is simply impossible to intercept the evacuated enemy's aviation units in the first place.

In this way, Chief of Staff Liu and Doolittle took the aviation units that had successfully completed their missions, and swaggered away from the skies over Nagasaki and Fukuoka.

Before the bombers returned home, Chief of Staff Liu, who had a careful eye, also made a special statement not to use up all the bombs, especially the anti-ship armor-piercing incendiary bombs developed against the devil's ships and aircraft carriers.

The power of this kind of shell is extremely great, and the weight is even more amazing, a fighter plane can only drag 1 or 2 such armor-piercing bombs, which can be described as the nemesis of all kinds of ships, even if the devil's aircraft carrier is bombed with two guns, it will be severely disabled if it is not sinkable.

In line with the principle of not wasting it, Chief of Staff Liu thought that he would try his luck before returning, and maybe he could catch a big fish!

It's a pity that he wasn't there when he blew up the devil Izumo, but maybe he had good luck this time?

The result is really worthy of the emperor's wishes.

Before evacuating, Chief of Staff Liu and his entourage were searching around the sea area, and they ran into some ships secretly docked by the devils, among which there was also an exceptionally large ship, which should be the devil's aircraft carrier if nothing else.

Without saying a word, all the seven or eight armor-piercing incendiary bombs dragged by the fighter plane were projected.

Boom –

The bomb slammed into the target through the rain curtain as if it had eyes.

This rainy night was not quiet again.
