The pilot plane personally commanded by Feng San, who was flying at the forefront, was the first to drop bombs. In the pilot machine, Tiger 100, the most skilled bombardier, was arranged. The role of the pilot aircraft is to correctly guide the group of bombers following in the rear, and the bombardiers in the rear all follow the guidance of the forward pilot aircraft to drop bombs.

Tiger 100 may not be the best in the vanguard, but he is the most consistent and excellent bombardier, and he is also the one who has practiced the most. Meng Xiang planned to introduce the concept of the pilot aircraft from the beginning, and from the production of the B-17, Tiger 100 and ten of them were used as the guide bombers of the pilot aircraft to practice bomb throwing.

Tiger 100 is the best among them, and even with the more than 200 bombardiers behind him, he is also the most consistent.

He calmly adjusted the Norton bombsight in front of him, and kept reporting the relevant parameters. Norton's bomb plotter is so accurate that it claims to be able to "drop a bomb into a pickle bucket." It is able to quickly calculate the forward speed and yaw rate of the aircraft and make corrections for the bomb drop. So precision bombing is also called kimchi barrel bombing.

The Norton bombsight was regarded as top secret by the American side at that time, and the Americans at that time stipulated that it could only be installed on the plane before takeoff, and it must be covered with canvas, and it must be dismantled immediately after landing, and these disassembly and assembly processes must be carried out under the supervision of armed guards, and the crew of the bomber must swear to protect the secret of the sight with their lives, and destroy the Norton sight before the plane is forced to land and be captured.

It has reached a pinnacle of mechanical aiming and calculation. Although with the development of computers in later generations, the electronic sight far surpassed its surname, as long as you look at the fact that the Americans did not declassify it until 60 years after the end of World War II, you can know that it represents the tip of a kind of machinery is not too much to evaluate.

Meng Xiang easily obtained the sight through the base, but he also carried out strict secrecy measures. Not to mention that being given by the Russians and themselves can greatly improve their bombing capabilities, even if the Americans know about it, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. Each B-17 aircraft in the operation had at least one clone soldier, and one of their missions was to destroy the plane's critical equipment in the event of an accident.

Tiger Baibai's eyes were like black and white crystal artifacts carved on them, staring at the target below without blinking.

Below is the port of Nagasaki, where three teams gathered on the island of Kyushu are lined up to board the ship, and the dock is crowded with-yellow devil soldiers like canned fish. That's where the Vanguard bombed the target.

Because the target was a crowd, most of the bombs and cluster bombs were carried this time.

"Bomb dropping!" Tiger 100 gave the command to drop the bomb while dropping the cluster bomb.

As soon as the bombs of the pilot plane fell, they were immediately followed by a dense swarm of bombs.

With a scream, thousands of butterflies fluttered all over the sky, bursting into brilliant flames on the ground.

"Little devils, try the bomb! This is for you for my grandfather, this is for my grandfather, this is for my grandmother, this is for you, this is for my father, this is for you, this is for my mother,......" Wu Guosheng shouted every time he dropped a bomb.

Everyone in the cabin was silent, everyone knew that Wu Guosheng's family of eighteen people, except for him who went to school in Peking and escaped the catastrophe, all the others were killed in Nanjing.

"This is for you for the sake of my family's wealth." Wu Guosheng's face was already full of tears at this time, but he immediately wiped his eyes with his cuffs. With teary eyes, he couldn't see the target below. Although he didn't need to bomb with a sight for precision in this operation, he wanted to be able to see the flames and smoke that the bombs were blowing up on his land.

......The sound of the sharp air defense sirens was particularly rapid in the dense explosions, and some of the defending soldiers also rushed to their posts. However, although there were many artillery batteries in the entire port of Nagasaki, there was only one air defense position.

"Anti-aircraft guns! There are anti-aircraft guns there! Itagaki shouted loudly as he pointed into the distance, and immediately some of the officers ran directly towards the air defense position, while others escorted the officers towards the nearby buildings.

"Boom" A cluster bomb exploded nearby, and the sub-bombs that landed everywhere immediately exploded, and immediately a group of officials fell.

"Quick, evacuate the crowd!" Ryosuke Isoya shouted.

Thousands of people and the media were invited to the area, and they fled like headless flies, as if the soldiers could still lie down in hiding when they heard the bombs. They were so crowded that the soldiers could not evacuate, and they crowded on the port docks and could not evacuate. Clusters of flames burst out on the ground, and the crowd had nowhere to hide, and fell to the ground one by one.

At this time, he managed to shrink behind a car as best he could, and two local officials were also hiding beside him. There was fire and smoke everywhere, and they didn't know where to hide. The thin iron car next to it still had something to rely on.

With several loud bangs, several bombs that fell directly exploded in the air, ejecting hundreds of warheads with a 4.5 cm long and 1.8 cm diameter solid tail fins, scattered in all directions with a scream.

The crisp sound of glass came from the ears of the head holder, and the window glass above his head burst open, and he tilted his head to dodge, just in time to see a bullet pass through the thin iron sheet of the car body, and then burrow into the chest of an official next to him, and a little four-spin flight tail was exposed in addition to his chest that had exploded a big hole.

He screamed loudly and turned to jump away, but saw a bullet like that go through the bodies of the two soldiers huddled together in front and back, exploding a mist of blood all over the ground. On the other side, the head of a soldier had been blown off by that bullet, and a flying eyeball rolled down to the feet of Tsunoda Pihiko.

"Ahh ......"Itsuda Pihiko has recited so many poems, and there has never been such a voice that contains true feelings as now, even if it is fearful.

He didn't know that this bomb was a lazy dog bomb used by the Americans in World War II, and it exploded in a wide area by falling from a high altitude, and the high-speed solid bullet body was extremely penetrating, but he felt that the shield of the car was no longer safe, and he ran away screaming.

It was also unsafe outside, with corpses and broken limbs scattered everywhere, and he stepped on a depression where blood had accumulated, and the splattered blood hit his face and made him vomit in nausea.

Not far away, there was another explosion, and a cluster bomb submunition rolled down in front of him, making him stiffen and not dare to move.

"Hurry up, that's a rotten egg, ignore it!" When the official who followed behind him ran in front of him, he kindly reminded the royal writer.

He was about to follow quickly, when a reporter who was running around with his head in his hands ran behind him and stepped on the "rotten egg".

"Boom!" After a bang, he collapsed in a pool of blood, and the official and reporter in front of him were only stumps and scraps on the ground.

There are such "rotten eggs" everywhere, detonated by the crowd running and dodging.

Thirty percent of the submunitions of cluster bombs do not explode directly, and the remaining ones are particularly troublesome to clean up. Especially in densely populated places. The submunitions that fell into concealment have already had three wounds and four people have died, including two ordinary people. So when it was in China, the vanguard army did not use cluster bombs very often. Even if it is used, the site is cordoned off for strict cleaning.

But when it was thrown into the mainland, Meng Xiang chose cluster bombs. Clean up the trouble, mind our? Not on the territory of Huaxia anyway.

More than 70 heavenly thunderbolts kept dropping greetings from China in the air, and the bombs were not only concentrated in the crowd on the pier, but also the ships moored on the pier were also bombarded.

Deng Lin calmly observed through the Norton bomb sight, and the figure of a cargo ship below landed on the sight.

"Put!" After some calculations, Deng Lin made a decisive move, and a thousand-pound bomb fell. He didn't bother to check the results, and another bomb fell.

The internal magazine of the B-17E can hold 8 of these 454 kg bombs at a time, and they are specially prepared for ships in the port.

"Great, hit!" Observer Zhang Wanchen shouted excitedly. Only 10 of their planes bombed the ships in the port of Nagasaki, and the results are easy to discern. That was the result of Deng Lin's battle. An ordinary civilian ship was hit by a 1,000-pound bomb, and it was basically scrapped.

This time, in order to transport these soldiers of the Japanese army, more than a dozen large ships of more than 5,000 tons were requisitioned. But at this time, the ships in the harbor were constantly bursting with fire and smoke. In the face of the bombs falling from the sky, they had nowhere to hide in the narrow harbor and could only wait to be bombed.

"Tom tom!" The Type 96 25mm anti-aircraft guns on one of the Fengfeng-class destroyers guarding the harbor rang out first, and although their rate of fire and height were average, they were still somewhat threatening to the Flying Fortress bombers, which flew at an altitude of less than 2 kilometers.

It's just that the sky is full of the huge figure of the B-17 and the roar of the engine, the number of the three or four anti-aircraft guns is too small, and the air fortress is known for its thick skin resistance. Although two planes were hit, they were still flying and none of them fell.

"Boom!" After a loud bang, a column of water rose into the sky more than ten meters from the destroyer Tanfeng.

The Beachwind kept shaking, and the anti-aircraft guns that were fired into the air were somewhat offset. Two loud bangs erupted around the area, and the most recent splash swept directly over the destroyer. Let the firing of anti-aircraft guns come to a standstill.

Even with the most advanced sights at this time, the accuracy of high-altitude bombing was not too high, and many times it required experience and luck. The bombardiers of the Vanguard who bombarded the ships were all carefully selected, and the destroyers of the devils didn't seem to have any more luck. Three more Sky Thunderbolts aimed at the Tanfeng and began another wave of bombardment.

Boom, boom, three water columns rose in a row, one of which exploded three meters away, and the huge water pressure directly tore a hole in the hull, and the fourth bomb that followed fell directly on the hull, giving it the final fatal blow.

With the groans of steel, the water quickly flooded the deck of the Beachwind.

After a quick first round of bombing, the flying bombers began to circle back for the second round of bombardment. The bombing targets were still mainly concentrated on the docks. Because it was in the harbor, the bombing of the ship was not the main thing, and the group of soldiers on the dock was the main target. The place where the queue to get on the boat just now was already stacked with dead bodies on top of each other. Among the bombs that were provoked, there were not only cluster bombs, 45-kilogram bombs, but also quite a few 227-kilogram bombs.

The target is small, the timing is short, and the power of a large bomb can also be used to compensate for the lack of bomb density. One of these 500-pound bombs went down, and all the people within a dozen meters fell. By this time, the craters were covered with blood, and more blood flowed down the drainage ditch of the dock into the sea, staining the surroundings red.

The soldiers on the docks bombed and had nowhere to hide, even if they were lying down, they were consumed by the dense flames of bombs.

"Plop!" Some of the soldiers were taken into the sea by civilians who were rambling around, but the sound of the water reminded them that the water in the harbor was undoubtedly a good refuge from the flames on the docks.

"Plop plop." Many of the soldiers jumped into the sea with them.

"Tom, tom" The anti-aircraft position in the harbor finally sounded. A squadron of 4 Type 88 75-mm anti-aircraft guns began to return fire. But with just one round of shelling, several 500-pound bombs fell. The intelligence officers of the Vanguard Army had long been aware of the anti-aircraft artillery positions in Nagasaki, but the exact location was not yet known. But within the approximate position, there are three planes watching at all times. As soon as the anti-aircraft fire was fired, the flames from the muzzles revealed their presence. Immediately, the three heavenly thunders that were always paying attention to this place began to release mines.

The six 227-kilogram bombs immediately dumbed two doors, and the remaining two doors stopped for only a moment, and immediately began to roar again.

The Type 88 75-mm anti-aircraft gun has been one of the best 75-mm anti-aircraft guns in the world for 27 years after its 75th year of service, but it is now somewhat outdated. It is not much of a threat to high-speed aircraft and high-altitude bombers. But at this time, the height of the thunderbolts was less than two thousand meters. In a round of bombardment by the devils, a sky thunder was hit and fell down with black smoke.

"If you're shot down, you're going to have to destroy the critical equipment on the plane. If you are captured, we will find a way to rescue you, you can say what you should say, and you can't say what you shouldn't! It is possible to confess to the enemy what is misleading in the teaching class. Shen Yan's ears seemed to ring with the words spoken by the instructor. The vanguard army does not have a requirement that it must be benevolent. Allowed to be a prisoner in a special environment, the valuable pilot can be a prisoner after being caught by the devil. But the captives can be said and those who can't have rules, and if they say what they shouldn't say, they are traitors.

Meng Xiang knew that the devils were brutal, and most people couldn't withstand those tortures, so in order to prevent the captured soldiers from suffering more flesh and skin, he specially arranged for them to reveal true and false information, which could be told at a critical time. For those captured soldiers, the vanguard army has indeed been rescuing, so far, there are more than 100 soldiers of the vanguard army who have been captured for various reasons, and most of them have been exchanged. The corpses of those devil officers are sometimes more valuable than the living, and I am particularly concerned about this.

At this time, there were still corpses of officers in the hands of the vanguard army, but the prisoners of the vanguard army were basically gone. Those who did not exchange it back except for two who became Han Jian, the others died for various reasons. The two men who were killed by the lurking sniper were shot in the head a few days later.

The vanguard army can also exchange a lot of prisoners with various resources in their hands, including Yue Qiao, so the hint for these pilots is that they can be captured.

But in traditional Chinese culture, the shame of being a prisoner cannot be replaced by an excuse allowed by the army.

"I am definitely not the first prisoner of the Air Force!" Shen Yan shouted loudly, "Jump quickly!" ”

Cao Bairen, a mechanic who was destroying Norton's bomb sight, was stunned, and then said lightly: "I shouldn't be taken prisoner either!" He continued to destroy the sight.

"My father and mother are taken care of by my brothers, and they still have a good subsistence allowance, and when I die, I believe that Meng Dashuai will send someone to support them in their old age." After the waist gunner Zhang Sanpao said a word, he continued to help Cao Bairen destroy the sight.

"I don't want another prisoner for our army!" Qin Hua'an, who had just been dragged out of the belly turret, touched the blood on his face.

"I should not be taken prisoner." Chen Xiaoyun, a wireless telegraph operator, said with a smile, "I heard that the devils treat the captives very cruelly, and I'm afraid of the pain!" ”

Lin Tangshu, the co-pilot he was taking care of, was cut through the abdomen by a piece of shrapnel, he moved, and said with a reluctant smile: "I, the one who is dying, will die early...... Early nursery! ”

Of the ten people on the plane, there were only six of them, and the tail gunner, the other gunner, the bombardier, and the navigator had all fallen to the ground and were silent.

"Good! Don't be prisoners, on Huangquan Road, we will be brothers together! However, before we die, why do we have to pull a cushion back! Shen Yan said, trying to make a somewhat inconvenient direction, aiming at a large cargo ship moored in the harbor and swooping over.

"Be careful, get out of the way, it's coming!" Some of the devils who had already boarded the cargo ship hid in the cabin, but they saw the downed B-17 and were cheering, but suddenly they saw the fallen plane swooping towards them, and they couldn't help but exclaim loudly.

The 8,000-ton cargo ship, which had been activated, began to move, but it was too late.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang, the bomb on the thunder exploded, and a large hole appeared in the cargo ship in the loud noise, and the sea water quickly poured in.

The bombing continues, and the target of this bombing is here. The city of Nagasaki was nearby, but the bombs were not there to blow up buildings, or those that were critical, so they were no longer in the scope of the bombing.

For an hour, drop all the bombs here, that's the order.

A hundred air fortresses seem like a lot, but each long-distance bomb is only about 2 tons, and if the bombs of more than 200 tons are scattered, at most they only play a deterrent meaning. But Meng Xiang needs more results. In order to boost morale, he announced the time of the army's departure and boarding through various channels, which simply sent the opportunity to Meng Xiang's eyes. That's when there was an early action for heavenly punishment.

At this time, the sky above his head was exposed, and he was not defended at all. There is not enough windfall profits, and Meng Xiang doesn't want to remind him at all. But he didn't want to miss this opportunity, and he didn't want to arouse his own vigilance. So, there is a limit of one hour.

Evacuating within an hour would have made me misjudge the range of the B-17. In the future, he will definitely increase the air defense force of Kyushu Island. But Tokyo's air defenses, which are farther away, may still be lax.

In my judgment, no plane would fly that far. Of course, this certainly does not include the fact that Meng Xiang only produced two B-29 Super Flying Fortresses. In order to leave more opportunities for the future, there is a shortened action plan. Also in order not to attract the attention of Yue himself, the bomb did not use incendiary bombs this time, as a trump card in Meng Xiang's hand, they will be left in Tokyo and other places where there are wooden houses everywhere, and there are no 300 B-29s on hand, Meng Xiang does not plan to use them again, and he will startle the snake.

At this time, he was afraid of the overseas Chinese hostages in the hands of the vanguard army, and did not dare to blatantly use poison gas bombs against the vanguard army. So even the gas bomb, Meng Xiang did not use it this time.

In the same way, if I go crazy and concentrate all my strength to deal with the vanguard army, it will be worth the loss. At this time, the vanguard army did not have the strength to block the reckless all-out attack of the individual.

Therefore, the scope of the bombing was set near the port of Nagasaki, which destroyed the devil's plan to go out, and it could be regarded as a warning from the vanguard army to Yu himself this time: Not only can you hit me, but I can also hit your lair. Defend your nest first!

The bombing continued, and the piers of Nagasaki Port seemed to be covered with a carpet of flames, and the bombs pouring down from the planes continued to add fiery red colors to the picture. The smoke was so thick that it blocked out the winter sun, and the smoke from the ships in the harbor was more and more diffuse.

"Smoke exhaust! Block their view! "This is a temporary solution that I came up with. At this time, the smoke over the harbor became heavier and heavier, and the smoke mixed with the black smoke from the large smoke pipes of many large and small ships docked in the harbor filled the air into the air.
