The soldiers are eager to fight, and Bai Shujie is of course happy, but due to the limitations of time and technical processing capabilities, the "Norton bombing sight" that he originally planned to produce has not yet been trial-produced, and the key is that the gyroscope is not up to par, and there is no guarantee that the "horizontal workbench" will be provided.

The so-called bombing sight is to calculate a advance amount for the bomb at a fixed flight altitude. To say that the theory is very simple, it is not a profound thing at all. But to make a mechanical bombing sight, it's actually really complicated.

In order to maintain the level flight state of the bomber, it is first necessary to have an "automatic flight pilot". To have this set of things, it turns out that the problem comes back - the key is the gyroscope.

Mechanical gyroscope, which is assembled by more than 2,000 precision parts, is definitely a "high, precise and cutting-edge" technology in the current era of lack of science and technology. The key is the use of a large number of precision gears and ball bearings, which require state-of-the-art lathes.

Bai Shujie has carefully inspected the robbed little devil lathe, it can be used!

But time is limited, more than 2,000 parts need to be processed, that takes time, and he has only barely made a preliminary thing so far.

If this most primitive bombing sight can be used to fly flat at an altitude of 2,000 meters, Bai Shujie estimates that the hit rate will be less than 40 percent. However, their own bombers are so limited that it is impossible to carry out carpet bombing.

This time, even if all the "light bombardments" that meet the range requirements are dispatched, there will be only 10 aircraft, because two of them have already been converted into air control towers.

Each aircraft carried 4 100-kilogram incendiary bombs, out of a total of only 40. If you can't hit all the vital areas, you basically won't cause any damage to the little devil. At most, it was a "demonstration" action, which was the same as when Jiang "bombed Tokyo with leaflets".

Of course, the only way to improve hits is to employ dive bombing. However, Bai Shujie did not want his brothers to adopt this method, because it was too dangerous, and heavy machine guns could take them down.

No matter how worried Bai Shujie was, the aeronautist was determined to do it this time. Division commander Zhang Nianzu personally took command and decided to dispatch six light bombardment planes to form two three-plane formations, and he personally piloted one air formation command plane, and the two formations marched in parallel on his two wings.

Zhang Nianzu didn't care whether Bai Shujie agreed or not, he just expressed his opinion: "Commander-in-chief, because the hit rate of the bomb cannot be completely guaranteed, our six crews have been verified and decided to use the No. 2 incendiary bomb to carry out scattered throwing and increase the fire area in the bomb impact area. ”

The so-called "No. 2 incendiary bomb" is a small incendiary bomb made by Bai Shujie to prepare to bomb the enemy's defensive positions. Each incendiary bomb was 20 kilograms, filled with 15 kilograms of napalm. However, in this way, the original plan to carry 4 incendiary bombs No. 1 (100 kg/piece) per aircraft became 20 No. 2 incendiary bombs.

"Since everyone is in high spirits, I agree to your request to fight!" Bai Shujie is not a person who drags mud and water: "This is our first long-range attack on the enemy, and it is also a very important actual combat exercise. During the penetration period, all units must turn off the wireless intercom and turn it on only after reaching the air above the target. ”

"I keep the airport's high-powered radar and radio on at all times to provide you with a certain heading reference. After the bombing is over, there is no need to verify the bombing effect and immediately return home. I ordered two squadrons of fighters to take turns to take up to meet you. ”

"In order to confuse the enemy, immediately change all the livery and change all to the flag of the little devils. Especially under the wings, be sure to enlarge the flag of the little devils. At the same time, you use a low speed to penetrate the defense, and after you finish dropping the bomb, you use a high-speed return. ”

In this operation, a top-secret operation was tried, and all the participating crews were concentrated at the Myohyangshan airfield for final preparations.

Bai Shujie and Zhao Jinxi have been involved, but have not continued to express any opinions. After all, this is a high-tech combat mode, and it is better for ordinary people to say less and see more.

At 13:00 on December 1, 1937, Zhang Nianzu, commander of the aviation division, led six commanders to board ZH001, and after a roar, the first plane flew into the blue sky.

Because there are enemies all around, it is impossible to fly outside. Therefore, Zhang Nianzu's plane could only start circling along the airfield, waiting for the follow-up fighters to take off and marshall.

It was the first time for Zhao Jinxi to see so many planes taking off at the same time at close range, plus the two engines of the bomber, the roar was much louder than that of a fighter jet, and she had a feeling of shock in her heart, and she couldn't help but approach Bai Shujie.

Three minutes later, the seven planes formed a triangle and then flapped their wings in unison, like a huge arrow shooting southeast.

Today is a good day. The winter sun, the clear blue sky, and the occasional cloud of white clouds make people feel particularly cheerful.

Zhang Nianzu is in this mood now, as if he is not going out to participate in the battle, but attending a certain ceremony. The navigator next to him did not dare to take it lightly, and the high-powered telescope in his hand was never put down.

"Divisional commander, we have left the Korean Peninsula and entered the Sea of Japan."

The navigator's report interrupted Zhang Nianzu's contemplation, and he looked a little worried: "We need to fly on the sea for more than two hours, I hope the brothers can fly out of the things they usually train, don't fly upside down!" Radar group, did you find anything? ”

"Report to the division commander, it is calm now, and no flying objects have been found in the nearby airspace."

Zhang Nianzu shouted again: "Pay careful attention to the planes on both wings, and if you find that they can't distinguish between the sky and the sea, once they fly upside down, immediately turn on the radio station." ”

"Understood, Commander!" The two fighters, armed with machine guns on the left and right, said loudly: "We have been keeping an eye on them, and now we are keeping our distance and following." The distance between the single machines is about 80 meters, everyone is close at hand, the formation remains intact, and there is no phenomenon of falling behind. ”

After an hour and a half of boring flights, seven warplanes had already skimmed the sea from an altitude of 4,500 meters, and a long and narrow island appeared in sight.

The navigator excitedly shouted: "Division commander, there is the island of Japan ahead, and our first sea-skimming flight has been successfully completed!" The radar team is on full alert, and the division commander can wave his wings and notify each machine to turn on the intercom radio! ”

"God forbid! I hope the Japanese of the fighters have not forgotten jì! Zhang Nianzu's face turned red, and at the same time turned on the walkie-talkie, and shouted in Japanese: "Please answer the phone number when you turn it on!" ”

"Unit 1 keeps up!" "Unit 2 keeps up!" "Unit 6 keeps up!"

At about 4:40 p.m., Zhang Nianzu's ZH001 had already skimmed over Tokyo City, and at the same time shouted: "All planes have lowered their altitude, do you see Mt. Fuji?" This is the best reference, and we flew over the northeast side of Mt. Fuji. At an altitude of 1000 meters, you can fly through the field and be familiar with the bombing target reference! ”

Zhang Nianzu pulled the nose of the plane, flew a big turn, and then shouted loudly: "The three planes are in a circle and return, according to the target just determined, the altitude is 500 and the bomb is dropped, start!" ”

"No. 3 has maintained an altitude of 1000, request to dive and drop the bomb to improve the accuracy of the bomb drop!"

"4 good to keep altitude 1000, ask for a dive bomb!"

All the crews strongly demanded dive bombing, Zhang Nianzu pondered for a while, and also felt that the opportunity was rare, and it was not easy to appear above the enemy's head, and it would be a pity if he did not give full play to his power.

So he immediately agreed with everyone's opinion: "In order to punish the little devils, I order you to use dive bombs!" After two rounds of bomb dropping, return immediately! ”

To say that the little devils in this period are at the peak of their momentum, although they have been hit several times in a row and are a little dizzy, but the people do not know the truth.

Seven bombers roared over the city, the sun flag on its wings was clearly visible, and many young people poured into the streets to shout and cheer.

It didn't take long for six planes to turn around and fly back. The people on the street have now seen clearly that the plane actually rushed down to the ground!

Da - six planes, 12 heavy machine guns facing forward. The pilot, the navigator, and the bombardier all had something to do, and the two machine gunners had something to do for themselves.

As a result, before the bomb was dropped, 12 heavy machine guns were already the first to fire! The dense crowd in the downtown area was suddenly beaten to the ground!

This moment it exploded: "The Imperial Air Force rebelled and attacked its own people!" ”

The six bombers used a dive to drop bombs, and they rushed until the altitude was only about 300 meters, and then they all pulled up the nose of the plane and began to climb. The hatch under the belly of the plane opened with a bang, and the first incendiary bombs had already fallen!

Bai Shujie couldn't get a time-delay fuse, and all bombs were instantaneous fuses. When the six bombers continued to climb, a flash of fire had already appeared behind the fuselage!

Don't underestimate the 20 kilograms of napalm, the 15 kilograms of napalm in each incendiary bomb will splash everywhere once it explodes, and the radius of the fire is more than 80 meters, and there is no way to extinguish it if it is stained.

At this time in Tokyo, the streets were lined with prefabricated houses. Not to mention napalm, even ordinary torches can ignite.

Now the six planes are 300 meters apart, and 120 napalm bombs are dropped at one time, covering a radius of more than two kilometers.

Just before the bomb was dropped, the strafing of the heavy machine gun now played a role. Because people panicked, they naturally ran around, and as a result, most of them ran into the fire.

It's impossible to escape anymore, because napalm burns a small number of people, and the real power is that the expansion burns, and there will be vacuuming!

All the animals that fall within the range of the fire will eventually suffocate to death! Even if you can avoid suffocation, when napalm burns, it will decompose a large amount of toxic gas, which will still poison you to death!

Inside the napalm, there is a large amount of rubber. Remember, it's rubber, not regular plastic. When the rubber burns, it is black smoke billowing and dark. And it stinks, so that the animals can't survive at all.

The turmoil here had just begun, and the six bombers drew a big arc on the left and right, and rushed down from the other direction!

This time, the spacing of the six planes was widened, directly creating a five-kilometer channel of fire. The two fire tunnels formed a cross fork, and the entire city of Tokyo was completely engulfed in flames!

We know that Tokyo is right by the sea. The trouble with island nations is that even if there is no wind, the air moves quickly. Combined with the vacuuming of napalm combustion, air convection is formed.

Even if God doesn't have the wind, there is wind now. The wind fuels the fire, and the fire borrows the power of the wind!

The extreme high temperature of the combustion center exceeded 1,800 degrees, and then used this as the core, driving the cold air around it to rotate, and soon formed a wind tunnel vortex about 500 meters above the city of Tokyo!

A fiery dragon appears out of thin air, and Tokyo is destined to have no sleep tonight!

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
