Ten minutes later, eighteen airships of the Liaodong Air Boat Brigade of the Ministry of the Air Force appeared in the sky over Tanegashima. Each airship has its landing lights turned on, so that people on the ground can clearly see the airship in the dark night sky.

The ground personnel had already set up two large curtains painted with luminous logos, and the two airships began to slowly land on Tanegashima. Li Ming turned to look at Ding Weiguo and Song Tao next to him, and said with a smile: "Old Ding, you must pay attention to safety, after the operation is successful, I will invite the comrades of the Air Force Department who participated in the operation to drink." ”

Ding Weiguo saluted, and then laughed: "Commander, apart from drinking, do you have any sisters?" ”

Song Tao walked up and said with a smile: "Lao Ding, isn't that nonsense, what kind of place is this, this is Tanegashima, you just want to find a place to drink and have no girls, but you can't find it." ”

Li Ming nodded the two of them with his hand, and said with a smile: "I didn't say it, when you come back, I will charter Tanegashima Heaven and Earth to reward all the personnel who participated in this operation." ”

When Song Tao and Ding Weiguo heard this, they all cheered loudly. Li Ming saw that these two second-class goods were staying here endlessly, so he smiled and scolded: "Hurry up, you want everyone to wait for the two of you." ”

As Ding Weiguo, Song Tao, and the two airships on which the special combat team were riding slowly rose into the air, the eighteen airships of the Liaodong Air Boat Brigade of the Ministry of the Air Force turned off their lights one after another and gradually disappeared into the dark night sky.

In the early hours of the morning, the Japanese city of Edo was silent, and two airships slowly flew over Edo. Although the Tokugawa shogunate was extremely strict about Edo Castle, they had no idea that there was a threat from the sky of Edo Castle.

In this era, although people's hearts are full of dreams of flying into the sky, most of them are just secretly YY, and they don't even have the courage to realize it. After all, birds are now the masters of the sky.

Kitai, the head of the Japanese intelligence station, and Kenji, the deputy head of the station, had already come to Edo Castle a month ago. Nearly half of the Japanese intelligence station's peripheral intelligence agents and ninjas also gathered in and around Edo Castle.

After several months of hard work, Kitai and the Japanese intelligence station lived up to expectations, not only finding out the situation in the inner city, but also sending several peripheral intelligence officers. Broke into the homes of several retainers of the Tokugawa shogunate and brought back a lot of valuable information.

Beijing received a telegram from Billy Zhou yesterday and immediately began to prepare. A large number of peripheral intelligence agents and ninjas have undergone countless drills, and they quietly appear from all corners of Edo Castle and outside the city, wearing night suits and night vision devices provided by the Far East Corporation, and then disappear into the night.

And the intelligence agents in other parts of Japan were already in action at midnight. As soon as the 18 airships entered the sky over Japan's Honshu Island, the ground received signals from the wireless receiving devices installed at the Japanese intelligence station, as well as the curtain painted with luminous logos arranged by the peripheral intelligence officers. Navigate for each airship participating in the operation.

Radio stations located in various parts of Japan's Honshu Island have also made contact with the 18 airships. So the next operation went very smoothly, and there were no accidents of deviation from the course of each airship.

As soon as the airship in which Ding Weiguo and Song Tao were riding arrived in the airspace near Edo Castle, they received a call from the head of the Japanese intelligence department, and they immediately picked up night vision binoculars and searched for target indication signals on the ground in Edo Castle.

In the pitch-black city, the signal painted with the luminous logo was very conspicuous, and the two airships flew over the target very smoothly. When two ships hover over the target. After descending to a certain height, Ding Weiguo picked up the night vision telescope again to determine the target again.

Ding Weiguo put down the binoculars. Then he turned to the bombardier on the airship and shouted: "Ready to drop ......"

As soon as his words fell, the personnel on the airship quickly put on gas masks, and then carefully took out canisters filled with chlorine gas one by one, opened the safety on the cans, and pulled the bomb slot at the bottom of the airship pod, ready to drop at any time.

Ding Weiguo raised his hand and looked at the table below. Then he waved his hand violently and shouted, "Drop ......"

The two bombardiers received the order and immediately dropped canisters filled with chlorine gas. As soon as each jar left the airship pod, a small parachute opened and fell towards the target.

Several Ashigaru of the Tokugawa shogunate. He is on duty at the head of the inner city. An ashigaru yawned, then looked up at the sky, and suddenly he noticed that something seemed to have fallen, but when he rubbed his eyes and looked up again, the thing that had just fallen in the air was gone.

The ashigaru thought his eyes were glazed, so he didn't care. People in this era only have the concept of the sky, such as birds, white clouds, and the sun and the moon, and they can't think of anything else, let alone believe that anyone can fly into the sky.

More than a dozen small parachutes painted black, carrying canisters filled with chlorine gas, slowly fell to the upwind position in the inner city, only a few hundred meters away from the Honmaru where Tokugawa Iemitsu lived. In addition, the wind and direction in Edo today were relatively stable, so it had little impact on the operation.

Ding Weiguo and Song Tao held night vision binoculars and nervously looked at the parachutes painted with luminous logos, constantly landing towards the intended target. It wasn't until a dozen canisters filled with chlorine had successfully landed in their designated positions that they breathed a sigh of relief.

The two also subconsciously clapped each other's hands, and then shouted "yes...... almost at the same time"

More than a dozen canisters filled with chlorine gas landed in good shape, most of them landed on the lawn on the periphery of Honmaru, and the canisters with the safety had been opened, and after a slight impact, the parachute instantly fell off automatically, and was blown by the wind to other opponents. This design is mainly designed to prevent the parachute from covering the canister, hindering the emission of smoke and reducing the lethality of special weapons.

At the same time as the parachute fell off, the smoke device of the jar was also turned on at the same time, and the slightly greenish-yellow smoke slowly gushed out of the jar, faster and faster, and after a while, more than a dozen smoking canisters were filled with a wall of smoke around it. As the wind continued to blow, the greenish-yellow smoke slowly spread towards the Honmaru where Tokugawa Iemitsu lived in the inner castle of Edo.

In this dark night, the greenish-yellow smoke that filled the air was not noticed by the samurai guarding the vicinity. It wasn't until the smoke overflowed the Honmaru and gradually filled the inner city that the many dozing samurai and ninja did not smell the pungent smell.

No one knew what was going on, and they were amazed when this greenish-yellow smoke drifted in front of them, and then they began to feel suffocated and gasped in pain, and many of the Tokugawa samurai fell and suffocated to death.

When people inhale chlorine, their eyes, nose and throat feel as if they have been burned by an acid. The houses of this era in Japan were not airtight enough to withstand the pervasive chlorine gas, and many people, including Tokugawa Iemitsu, died on tatami mats and never woke up.
