Chapter 906: The Burning of Tokyo I

readx; In the war room of the Kanto Air Defense Command Post, a group of officers said, "This officer is anxiously waiting for a report on the situation ahead!"

"The radar shows that the 143 flight team has started to engage with the fighters of the Chinese team A, and the 144 flight team is expected to join in a minute!" After a while, a lieutenant said, "This lieutenant just put down the phone and reported." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the skies northwest of Tokyo, the sky is densely packed with airplanes, flying at the highest altitude is the bomber group of the 27th Wing of China, at this time the B16 bombers have climbed as much as possible, the flight altitude has exceeded the standard design combat altitude of 9,000 meters, but flying at a height of nearly 10,000 or more, at this time in front of the fighters slow and fragile B16 tried to fly at the maximum altitude to avoid the bombers below, and around the bomber formation, It is about 100 F5 fighters, and at this time, these F5 fighter groups are being attacked by more than 100 Type 3 fighters.

Although the existing escort F5 fighters are less numerically than the three fighters of the attack, the F5 fighters still maintain their superiority by virtue of their excellent high-altitude capabilities.

However, it was said that "there were two flying groups in this set, with a total of more than 150 fighters to intercept them, and they climbed to a predetermined altitude in the early morning, unlike those interceptor fighters that had taken off urgently in the central region before, and those fighters in the central region at that time said that "this fighter plane was fighting while climbing, and there was not enough time for them to climb in advance." Now, due to the ample warning time in the Kanto region, not only all the aircraft that can participate in the battle are concentrated, but also tactical arrangements have been made in advance, and the interceptor group has risen to the predetermined altitude early.

In such a situation, it is natural that the air defense force wants to go down in a war and successfully intercept the Chinese bomber formation.

Although the F5 fighters escorted by China did everything they could, and with their superior high-altitude surnames, they were able to shoot down the fighters one after another, they still could not prevent the fighters from breaking through the defensive circle and approaching the bombing formation.

At this time, it was finally time for the B16 bomber formation, which had been under the strict protection of escort fighters since entering the airspace, to exert its self-defense firepower.

A large number of B16 bombers formed a dense formation in a rectangular formation, using a large number of self-defense machine guns equipped with them to shoot bullets, and under such dense self-defense fire, many fighters who tried to charge and attack the bombers were shot down by the self-defense fire of the B16 bomber formation before they even approached.

At an altitude of more than 8,000 meters, the fighters and bombers of the two sides were entangled together, and due to the large number of entangled planes and the dense formation, a large number of planes from both sides were concentrated in the narrow airspace, so that from a distance it seemed as if a dark cloud was moving rapidly.

Despite the attack of the fighters, the bombers of the 27th Wing continued to fly smoothly in a dense formation, and any disrupted formation at this time would have serious consequences, and the fighters of both sides followed the bomber formation to move forward in the same way.

The fighters on both sides continued to sway left and right, climb and dive, and in such a dense air battle, planes were constantly hit and then fell with black smoke one after another.

As if a swarm of black bees had been roasted by the fire from below, many of the planes that were hit were constantly falling, including my own three-type fighter Feiyan, as well as China's F5 fighter jet, and occasionally a huge B16 bomber could be seen dragging thick black smoke down and tumbling down.

And the most of them are naturally the Feiyan fighter that says, 'My own Feiyan fighter!'

However, despite the continuous shooting down, the aircraft groups of both sides did not pause in the slightest, the bomber formations continued to fly forward, and the fighters of both sides continued to fight.

As the minutes passed, I could see Tokyo below through the gap in the clouds!

"Attention all planes, it is expected that the bomb will be dropped in two minutes, and all crews are ready!" The commander of the 27th Wing's sortie, Colonel Pangbo, had already given the order to prepare the bomb by this time.

On the command plane, an Air Force Major was holding a detailed map of Tokyo, and at the same time, he was constantly looking down at some landmarks and buildings and terrain on the ground, and they wanted to determine the detailed bombing location!

A minute later, the major said to Colonel Panbo through the headset: "This is it, according to the predetermined course and speed, it is expected that the bomb will be dropped in thirty seconds!" ”

Pan Bo nodded and immediately announced by radio: "Thirty-second bomb countdown!" ”

When the more than 100 B16 bombers over Tokyo were preparing to drop bombs, many of Tokyo's anti-aircraft guns were already firing shells at the fastest rate of fire, and some large-caliber anti-aircraft artillery shells were heading straight to an altitude of 10,000 meters and constantly exploding near the bomber group.

Some of the shrapnel emitted after the explosion hit the B16 bombers, and the air wave after the explosion also caused some of the B16 bombers to jolt.

At the same time, these B16 bombers in the sky opened their bomb magazines under the fierce anti-aircraft fire, and the cold air at an altitude of 10,000 meters quickly poured into the cabin, and the safety on the rows of bomb droppers in the engine room had been opened, just waiting for an order to be able to drop bombs.

Pan Bomo counted the time, and as soon as thirty seconds passed, he did not hesitate to order: "Drop the bomb!" ”

When he said this, although his expression was calm, but there was still a sense of excitement in his tone, they traveled thousands of kilometers long distance, in order to bomb Tokyo for this moment, this is definitely an extremely exciting thing for a bomber commander, and it is also the first bomb he dropped in this war to bomb Tokyo, this honor will be recorded in history forever.

With Panbeau's order, his long plane immediately dropped a series of incendiary bombs, and the other bombers in the 27th Wing also dropped aerial bombs at the same time.

Countless incendiary bombs were dropped in the sky one after another, forming a huge barrage!

At the same time, in a courtyard in Tokyo, a middle-aged man looked up at the huge group of planes in the sky, the alarm that Tokyo was about to be attacked by air raids had already been issued, and the citizens of Tokyo knew that Tokyo was about to be bombed on a large scale, and with the arrival of Chinese bombers and the interception of air defense fighters called 'Ben, countless people in Tokyo looked up at this large-scale air battle, and some planes were constantly hit and fell with thick black smoke, and some planes were also hit and exploded in the air. The surviving pilots of the downed plane struggled to climb out of the cabin and then parachuted. Coupled with the fire of anti-aircraft artillery on the ground, in addition to countless planes, there were also clumps of flames in the sky over Tokyo, and then white parachutes floated in the sky like dandelions.

If the situation in the sky is intense, then the situation on the ground in Tokyo is not so poetic!

As the first incendiary bomb fell, and then exploded, the incendiary bomb with napalm as the main component suddenly set off a fire, and the burning was not limited to the napalm itself, the fire quickly spread to many surrounding buildings.

At this time, the traditional large number of wooden buildings is a reality of extreme fragility, almost after encountering Mars, it will burn rapidly, and soon the burning will spread to adjacent buildings, if it is in a densely built area, one incendiary bomb can destroy an entire block.

Countless people jumped out of the building covered in flames, trying to extinguish the fire on their bodies by all means, if it was burned by ordinary fire, it could be extinguished, but if it was not stained with napalm and other ingredients on the incendiary bombs, the fire could not be easily extinguished.

As the buildings were set on fire, a sea of fire formed in the downtown area of Tokyo, and the screams of the people continued to come out, as if they were about to penetrate the airspace to the ears of the pilots of the B16 bombers, and with the screams and moans, bursts of meat smell also came from the fire.

In the Kanto air defense command post, after listening to the report of a lieutenant below, and learning that the Chinese bomber group dropped not traditional bombs but incendiary bombs, and that the bombing area was not those important military facilities and industrial areas in Tokyo, the expression on his face seemed to freeze, and after a long time, he said in a deep and sad voice: "They are slaughtering, they are slaughtering!" ”

A group of generals in the war room also had different expressions, some were dumbfounded, some were wide-eyed, and some were muttering: "They...... Slaughter! ”

There is no doubt that this is a massacre!

However, before the generals in the war room could react from their grief and indignation. Another lieutenant put down the phone: "The enemy group B has arrived, and the 187th flight team has engaged the enemy aircraft formation!" ”

At this time, many of the officers in the country woke up from their grief and indignation, and Lieutenant General Suzuya Katsura supported the table with both hands, gritted his teeth and said: "Inform all combat units, this battle must exert all its strength, please be sure to smash the bomber group of the Chinese people, this battle is not only related to the brave spirit of our soldiers, but also related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, and clearly inform you: The lives of millions of people in Tokyo need to be saved!" ”

When the pilots at the front heard the report, they were all shocked and indignant, and they already knew that if a B16 bomber dropped an incendiary bomb, it would take at least hundreds, if not thousands, of lives!

Even though it has been at war with Britain and the United States for several years, it has never been possible to expose civilians to such a great threat as it is today. From the beginning to the end, it was said that the war between Britain and the United States was confined to the army, and there was no large-scale massacre of civilians or deliberate bombing of civilians on both sides, of course, this does not mean that the Americans do not want to do this, no one pays attention to the humanitarian spirit in the war, and the strategic bombing of Germany by the Americans in Europe does not care whether German civilians live or die. It was because the United States was not able to bomb the former base called 'Ben Tokyo'.

After the first wave of the Chinese Air Force's attack by the 27th Wing, the second wave of bombers dominated by the 31st Wing also broke through the layers of interception of the anti-aircraft firepower and successfully arrived at the airspace above the bombs scheduled to be dropped, and then the more than 100 B16 bombers also dropped countless incendiary bombs, and after the B16 bombers of the 31st Wing dropped a large number of incendiary bombs, a huge sea of fire appeared in another corner of Tokyo.

The bombing of the 31st Wing was not over, and the third wave of bombers led by the 38th Wing, which followed by the 27th Wing, also successfully reached the skies over Tokyo.
