Chapter 852: The Bombing of Tokyo (Part I)
Da Da Da ...... The roar of the M61 Vulcan cannon exploded again
The recoil is as amazing as the vitality, the Vulcan cannon is very demanding on the helicopter, and the damage is also great, and only the Black Hawk helicopter, which can be repaired quickly by the base, can be equipped with this high rate of fire of up to 6000 rounds per minute, 6 tubes of 20 mm
Although two of the three Black Hawk helicopters brought ammunition supplies and support personnel, and only one carried the Vulcan cannon, it was enough to sweep away the artillery position of the Japanese below consisting of 12 large and small guns, and even before they could even set up the anti-aircraft machine guns, they were completely leveled, leaving only the two special shells that had been detonated, and yellow-green smoke rose from them
The little devil gassed the Nanyang Chinese Armed Forces Joint Headquarters and directly reported the matter to Meng Xiang, who had been paying attention to the battle reports from various places, and soon got the news
Hmph, it seems that the little devil doesn't have a long memory at all, Meng Xiang snorted coldly, they should have forgotten that we like to return a tooth for a tooth the most
Told the General Staff to revise Plan C and replace the bombs, he directly ordered the rat to do so
Well, by the way, let's publicize the performance of the Japanese first, and we will take advantage of how we fight in the future, lest someone jump out again, Meng Xiang shouted and added
After a long time, Meng Xiang has learned to clean up his tail, even if whether it is the Allied side dominated by Britain and the United States or the Axis side dominated by Germany and Italy, they are biased towards China, but Meng Xiang, who can avoid hidden dangers in the future, will try to consider the position in advance
With the fifteenth day of the first day of the Chinese Lunar New Year, when the Japanese first used poison gas on Chinese civilians, it was possible to do a very good job
Only two days later, on the evening of 12 March, as Meng Xiang issued his last order, 800 B-29 bombers of the strategic bomber formation directly under the Central Military Commission took off from the five airports of Dalian, Qingdao, Lianyungang, Nanjing, and Hangzhou
What's going on, the radar display is not normal, Kobayashi Kozo saw a lot of clutter on the radar display, and couldn't help but be a little helpless
In order to guard against the bombers in China, the Japanese have already developed air defense radars after actively tackling key problems, but the manufacturing capacity is limited, and the few air defense radars are not only supplied to Tokyo and other key areas, but also set up in Nagasaki and Sasebo, the Kyushu area closest to China
Although the Japanese developed the cavity magnetoelectric tube at an early stage, the overall electronic level was still somewhat poor under the condition that the investment was small, the traditional style of work was not attached, and even if the air defense radar was developed, the performance was still relatively primitive; when these radars encountered the suppressive electromagnetic interference of the electronic reconnaissance planes accompanying the strategic bombers, they completely stopped cooking
The Japanese, who encountered this situation for the first time, simply did not have enough resilience to turn a blind eye to the group of B-29 bombers whizzing by at an altitude of 10,000 meters overhead
It was not until the artificial air defense stations scattered throughout Japan heard the strange thunder from the sky that they sounded the air defense alarm and reported it to the authorities
But through this backward manual way to vigilance, it has long been over
At this time, the bomber group had already reached the skies over Tokyo
Lowered the altitude, opened the bomb bay, prepared to drop bombs, and bombed the Japanese mainland again, and Xiao Wounded, who was promoted to the rank of colonel of the Air Force, was a little excited, but he still issued a series of orders in a calm tone
At this time, it is the time of winter and spring, and there are often strong air currents over the Japanese mainland
In order to ensure as much accuracy as possible in the bombing, the General Staff has worked out a whole set of plans for reducing the altitude, just like Li Mei who bombed Tokyo
Do you still need to pursue accuracy when throwing special bombs on your head came the whining voice of his subordinate Ma Zhutao in his ears
Some of the incendiary bombs carried by the bombers before departure have been replaced, as long as they look at the skull logo on the top, they have been targeted, and these veterans who have done many relevant training have vaguely known the origin of these special bombs
This time, the bombing order was carpet bombing, similar to this kind of biological and chemical bombs, without clearly pointing at the target, it really didn't need much accuracy, as long as the bomb was thrown down and exploded, an area could be left without grass
What are you doing to carry out the order, this black light is blind, no matter how low you fly, the little devil can't beat you, Xiao Wounded Soldier shouted angrily
This raid was also an actual combat exercise, and the strategic bombing force had a rare opportunity to make a large-scale sortie, and the wounded soldiers did not want to miss this time to sharpen the over-energetic young men under him
This is also the idea of the General Staff and the General Command of the Air Force, so how to bomb at low altitude or how to come, and in the process of this bombing, there are not only those special biological and chemical bombs, but also many incendiary bombs
The huge figures of the B-29s could not be revealed at all in the night, only the navigation lights on the top made the stars in the sky suddenly brighten
Yoshiko Harukawa, who couldn't sleep for a long time, was thinking about what the teacher said at school during the day
The Empire's military is strained and more personnel are being requisitioned
Not only young men, but even women have recently stepped up their efforts to recruit and expand their staff
This time, the instructions of the military department were directly transmitted to the middle school to encourage girls to go to Australia with the army
The empire had conquered Australia and the news of the immigrants there had been reported to the public, but her parents were adamantly opposed to her going to Australia with the army
Since her eldest brother went to Nanyang, more than a dozen letters have come in a row, and her parents have only shown her a few of them, but the rest have been hidden by her mother, who cried once when she read the letters
She peeked once and vaguely learned about one of the purposes for which the Imperial Army recruited girls - comfort
Since the Japanese withdrew from China, there was a lack of an important source of comfort stations, and they could only increase the recruitment of the Korean Peninsula, and with the successive victories of the Japanese army in the south, various comfort women selected from white people in Southeast Asia, India and Australia have quickly filled this vacancy
But many officers still complained that the women's level was too poor
Because the Chinese in Southeast Asia cannot be recruited casually, and those indigenous women are black and ugly, naturally they cannot enter the eyes of senior officers
The tall and large figures of those Western women often made the short Japanese lack self-confidence in some places, and the smell and rough hairy skin often provoked complaints from Japanese officers
And those Indian women always wore that pungent curry smell on their bodies many times, which made the high-ranking Japanese officers, who had always liked elegance, complain about it
Choosing and choosing, except for more outstanding Chinese women, they can only use those docile women in China to satisfy the emptiness of their hearts
In the name of jihad, they actively encouraged the young women to throw themselves into their arms throughout the country
Many Japanese girls who have not been deeply involved have joined the army and have become the personal favorites of officers
However, this time, the military department transferred a large number of women, and even those immature girls from middle schools and schools, they did have plans to immigrate to Australia
With the awakening of national consciousness, many people in this era have accepted the idea of an excellent race similar to that proposed by Lao Xi
But no matter how arrogant the Japanese are, they still have inferiority in their hearts about the three-inch size and the stubby radish legs
They adopted a series of methods to improve the genes of the nation, and even borrowed seeds from China on a large scale
After occupying Australia this time, Hirohito already had an idea in his heart, that is, to select outstanding Japanese talents to go to the Australian New World, and those inferior figures in Japanese society gradually stayed in their homeland, so that after multiple screenings, the Yamato nation in the Australian New World will be the best nation in the world
This series of selections was carried out with the help of some advocates of the superior race
Of course, it is not excluded that some of these officers take this opportunity to satisfy their selfish desires, and Harukawa Yoshiko's eldest brother, as a young officer, is enjoying such treatment while also reminding his family
But both the school and the comments among her classmates had already made Yoshiko Harukawa accept the concept of comfort and be proud to serve the empire
It's just that the strong opposition of her parents made her hesitate to toss and turn, and she couldn't sleep well, so she pushed open the window in the attic and looked at the starry sky
At that moment, the stars in the sky suddenly shone brighter, and more stars flashed red, yellow, and green
There are so many stars, so beautiful, Yoshiko Harukawa couldn't help but praise, but was immediately interrupted by the piercing air raid sirens that sounded over Tokyo
The Japanese finally reacted, but what could they do but pull the air raid sirens in vain
At this time, because the Americans suffered heavy losses at the beginning, they have not dared to send aircraft carriers to bomb Tokyo, because of their disadvantage in the South Pacific, and there is no huge long-range bomber group to bomb Tokyo for the time being
Although the Japanese prepared for the air raids from China and arranged strict air defense measures in the vicinity of Tokyo, after all, they had no experience of actual combat, and they were a little helpless at first, especially in the face of the cover of night
In the darkness of the night, the fighters simply could not rise into the air to intercept a dozen searchlights, and the huge pillars of light swayed in all directions, but did not indicate the target for the anti-aircraft artillery that was hastily put into place on the ground
Even the long period of peace and tranquility delayed the arrival of some anti-aircraft artillery
The bright light dragged by the intertwined anti-aircraft shells illuminated the helpless and confused expressions of some Japanese, unaware that after the sound of aerial bombs, the robe of death had been shrouded over their heads
