Chapter 704: Bombing Japan

In the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China, May 19, 1938, at 5 p.m.

Ningbo Lishe Airport.

Not a lot of people come to the airport.

Until now, the vast majority of people have not known what will happen in a few hours.

Including those local dignitaries.

The airport has been completely isolated.

No one from the outside is allowed to come in, and no one from the inside is allowed to go out.

Meng Shaoyuan was very glad that he had the opportunity to be able to participate in this feat!

Time passed minute by minute.

Luo Liangjian looked relaxed, but he was smoking cigarette after cigarette there.

This kind of performance proves that he is actually very nervous.

The same is true for Meng Shaoyuan.

After so many dangerous and incredible missions, he had never been more nervous than he was now.

"Haven't you come yet?"

Luo Liangjian suddenly asked.

"Nope." Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly replied.

"The telegram from Hankou took off at 3:23 p.m., and it took more than two hours from Hankou to Ningbo, so it should have arrived."

Meng Shaoyuan raised his wrist and looked at the time: "Sir, it's just past 5 o'clock." ”

"Oh."

Luo Liangjian realized that he was a little too nervous.

"Report to the sir, the headquarters called to ask if there is any more tobacco."

"Call back, tobacco is temporarily out of stock."

Luo Liangjian lit another cigarette.

"Headquarters is also waiting for news." Meng Shaoyuan muttered to himself.

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the sky again......

……

"Report to the captain, I am about to arrive at Ningbo Lishe Airport."

"Prepare to land." Xu Huansheng said calmly.

"Yes, ready to land!"

……

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Suddenly, someone pointed to the sky and shouted excitedly.

The three black dots, from far to near, gradually become clear.

Yes, fighters, Chinese fighters!

It's been a long time, the Chinese Air Force!

Three warplanes, two of them, will soon be on bombing missions!

On the ground, all the people looked up and waited.

The fighter plane circled in the air a few times before starting to land.

Someone started screaming and waving to the sky.

"Confused!"

Meng Shaoyuan ignored the chief by his side: "Is it to let others know about yelling like this?" ”

Luo Liangjian immediately reacted: "Meng Shaoyuan! ”

"Here!"

"You're in charge of maintaining order! Guo Yantang, your people obey Meng Shaoyuan's command! ”

"Yes!"

……

At 15:23 on May 19, 1938, three planes took off from Wangjiadun Airport in Hankou.

At 5:38, the plane landed safely at Ningbo Lishe Airport.

Aircraft No.: No. 1403, No. 1404!

They will be refueled and then take to the skies again!

When the plane landed, it was the heroic Chinese Air Force that came down from the hatch!

Xu Huansheng, Tong Yanbo...... Chen Guangdou, Wu Ji......

History will always remember the names of these people.

These heroes who have long put life and death aside and take the maintenance of the Chinese Air Force as their own responsibility!

They were greeted with no flowers and no applause.

"Report, Xu Huansheng, squadron leader of the Chinese Air Force Special Bombardment Squadron, arrived safely at Ningbo Airport at 5:38 p.m. on May 19!"

The high-spirited Xu Huansheng straightened his body.

"Good work." Luo Liangjian nodded: "Now, you immediately go to eat, rest, and wait for the take-off order!" ”

"Yes!"

"Meng Shaoyuan!"

"Here!"

"You're personally responsible for their safety!"

"Understood!"

This is also Meng Shaoyuan's loudest answer.

Luo Liangjian immediately said: "Generate electricity to the headquarters, the tobacco has arrived!" ”

……

Meng Shaoyuan, director of the Shanghai Special Office of the Military Command, a public enemy of Japan, and the strongest agent on the surface.

But now, this invincible Director Meng has acted as a logistics and sentinel job.

He was the first to taste the food that the pilots ate.

After making sure there are no problems, it will be served to the pilot after fifteen minutes.

Then he had to stand aside and wait.

Perhaps, the pilots will have a request at any time.

I don't know how those enemies of Meng Shaoyuan will feel after seeing this scene.

Meng Shaoyuan himself didn't care at all.

On the contrary, he felt that this was the proudest of all the missions he had ever carried out!

"Ningbo is quite peaceful."

Xu Huansheng said casually: "I thought that when I was close to Shanghai, there would be Japanese spies waiting for the opportunity to sabotage." ”

"No, it won't." Meng Shaoyuan replied: "Ningbo has always been very peaceful, there are basically no Japanese spies, and some are also a few small fish and shrimp, you can sleep with peace of mind for a while." ”

"Ah, that's it, your surname is Meng?"

"Yes."

"You're in charge of taking care of us?"

"That's right, I'm in charge of logistics, the commander has specially ordered that I be responsible for taking care of your food, drink and rest, if you need anything, just tell me to do it."

"Good work."

……

After eating, these pilots were immediately arranged into a special single dormitory for rest.

Meng Shaoyuan carefully inspected every door, and all of them arranged sentry posts, and repeatedly instructed that before the order from the headquarters arrived, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu came, he was not allowed to disturb.

Then, he made himself a pot of tea, brought a chair, and sat directly at the gate.

"Good fellow, you look like a door god." Guo Yantang, who was on a mission with him, made a joke.

"Yes, I'll be the door god today."

Meng Shaoyuan took a sip of tea and said beautifully......

……

When the pilots were greeted at the airport, there was no idleness outside the airport either.

Military commanders, death squads, and security teams were all mobilized to assist in monitoring and protecting the perimeter of the airport.

Until now, these people didn't know what important people were coming to the airport.

They also speculated privately.

Some people even boldly guessed, is the chairman of the committee coming to Ningbo?

But anyway, no matter who came, it was an order from Director Meng anyway......

……

Meng Shaoyuan was in high spirits, and he didn't feel tired at all.

Suddenly, the phone rang on the side.

Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly picked up the phone: "I'm Meng Shaoyuan...... Yes, yes, got it. ”

Hanging up, he stood up.

There was a knock on a door behind him:

"Command, assemble!"

With that, all the doors were opened!

It's 11 p.m. on May 19th!

……

Everyone is waiting.

The air seems to have frozen!

Luo Liangjian didn't know that this was the first cigarette he smoked today.

The preparations are all done.

Pilots are ready to go!

Now, all we have to wait for is the final order from headquarters!

Not a single person spoke.

Suddenly, the door of the office was pushed open, and Luo Liangjian's secretary hurriedly walked in:

"Headquarters electricity!"

"Read!"

"Perform the mission now!"

Luo Liangjian stood up suddenly:

"Perform the mission now!"

……

In the 27th year of the Republic of China, on May 19, 1938, the headquarters issued the final order to carry out the task.

At 23:48, two Martin-139WC bombers, 1403 and 1404, took off from Ningbo Lishe Airport in Zhejiang Province to carry out the mission of bombing the Japanese mainland!

At the airport, everyone watched as the plane took off and took off.

In the sky, carrying the expectations of countless Chinese!

Meng Shaoyuan raised his hand and saluted the blue sky with a military salute!

……

Two proud silver eagles have taken to the skies!

Target, Japan!

The fleet carrying 1 million leaflets turned south from Ningbo and then flew to the Japanese island of Kyushu.

At 2:25 a.m. on May 20, the plane arrived over the Japanese island of Kyushu.

"According to the charts, the city below is Nagasaki!"

"Prepare to drop the bomb!"

"Bomb Ready Ready!"

The plane began to lower altitude!

Chen Guangdou and Wu Jichong, the communicators of the crew, immediately took out the sacks full of leaflets from their respective tail cabins.

When the altitude of the plane dropped to 3,500 meters, Xu Huansheng said calmly:

"Bomb dropping!"

"Bomb dropping!"

Leaflets were dropped like white bombs through the square shooting holes under the hatches and fluttered towards Japanese territory.

Starting from Nagasaki, the two-plane formation flew in a large arc northward, reaching the skies over Fukuoka at 3:45 a.m., dropping flares while dropping leaflets.

At 4:32, the formation flew over Kitakyushu and dropped all the remaining leaflets.

The role of flares is undoubtedly obvious.

Some Japanese who got up early in the morning quickly noticed something unusual.

The owner of a sushi restaurant in Nagasaki, Japan, opens the door and suddenly finds flyers everywhere in front of the door.

The leaflet is printed with the Chinese-Japanese text:

"The country's aggression against China is a serious crime. No matter how inferior you are, a million leaflets will become a thousand-ton bomb, and you will quit again. ”

Nagasaki is located in Kyushu, Japan, thousands of miles away from Chinese mainland, only airplanes can fly across the ocean, to Nagasaki dropped so many leaflets, the Japanese who instantly understood that they panicked for a while.

It was only at this time that the Japanese air defense department woke up from a big dream and imposed light control on Fukuoka, and the whole city was completely dark, and the ground anti-aircraft artillery also opened heavy fire.

However, the two planes were allowed to leave Japanese airspace and go to sea and return victoriously.

The Japanese security services immediately searched the area and handed over the leaflets to the "Oji Paper" Yayogi Factory for testing, which confirmed that the leaflets were indeed from China.

When the news broke, the local people panicked and expressed doubts about the authorities' claim that "Japan's domestic defense is impregnable."

Although the air raids, which were called "paper bombing" and "humanitarian expeditions," did not change Japan's aggression against China, they completely shattered the false claim that "Japan's sacred airspace is invulnerable."

This was the first time in history that Japan was attacked by a foreign aircraft.

……

"This is all that our Chinese Air Force can do!"

Meng Shaoyuan told his subordinates in the future: "Our forces can only carry paper bombs, and if we can carry real bombs and bomb the Japanese mainland directly, it may change the outcome of the war." ”

But this way, it is enough.

The nearly destroyed Chinese Air Force, and their valiant Chinese Air Force pilots, have accomplished an incredible miracle.

This will be a huge shock to the Japanese. This shows that the Chinese Air Force is still fighting, and the Chinese Air Force has the ability to directly bomb the Japanese mainland!

China will never give in!
