"Navigator, directions."
At an altitude of 10,000 meters, in the bomber's internal channel, Huang Quan shouted loudly.
"We are now the distance from Tokyo."
The devil's mainland is very narrow, the widest point is only two hundred kilometers, at the speed of the plane, it will fly out of the destination without paying attention, and the movement at night lacks landmarks, so Huang Quan always pays attention to the location.
He didn't want the first bombardment to blow up the wrong target.
"It's a hundred kilometers from Tokyo."
The navigator quickly reports the location:
"Right direction."
"All the crew, the target is directly ahead, move at full speed, and after reaching the target, bomb according to the predetermined plan."
Taking a deep breath, Huang Quan gave the order.
Although he proposed that multi-target bombing could be carried out this time, after all, the 3,000-ton incendiary bomb could completely disperse and bomb many cities in the devil's homeland, because it was in the earthquake zone, so most of the devil's houses were wooden structures, which were very easy to catch fire.
However, the regiment commander rejected his proposal and insisted on carrying it out but the target was concentrated on bombing, and the other targets would be discussed in the future.
Huang Quan thought about it, and stopped insisting.
Truly.
In the future, there will be more pilots, and more and more planes will carry out bombing missions.
There's no need to cling to a bombing.
Boom...
Following Huang Quan's order, the pilots of the 100 bombers increased the throttle one after another, and suddenly, 600 star-shaped piston engines and 400 turbojet engines burst out into a fierce roar, pushing the 100 bombers to fly at a speed of 720 kilometers per minute.
The original B36 bomber is only 700 kilometers, but the system is produced, it must be a high-quality product, whether it is a piston engine or a jet engine, the performance and reliability are a little higher than the original, plus the fine-tuning of aerodynamics, the speed naturally increases a little bit.
And it's more fuel-efficient when flying at the highest speeds.
·····
Meanwhile.
Below.
The devil in charge of local vigilance sensed the enemy's incoming aircraft for the first time.
Devils are not stupid, let alone deaf.
Although the planes were above the clouds, above 10,000 meters, and the air was thin, the noise stirred up by a hundred 10-round bombers could be heard clearly from dozens of miles away.
As for the target, a seasoned devil can also judge by the voice -
It was Tokyo, the capital of the empire.
After a brief period of confusion and suspicion, the news was delivered to the Prime Minister's Office and the Imperial Palace in Tokyo on a priority basis, and then the Home Air Defense Force was also urgently notified.
Tian Vice-Deng, who received the news, first reconfirmed the authenticity of the news, and finally ordered the fighters of the air defense unit under his command to take off, but by this time 15 or 6 minutes had passed.
It's been too late for a long time.
The speed of 720 kilometers per hour, that is, 12 kilometers per minute, and when the devil hesitated to react, it was already nearly ten minutes passed, and at this time, the bomber had already arrived over Tokyo and began to circle.
"Follow the squadron as a group, enter in turn, and drop bombs freely."
In the public channel of the bomber fleet, Huang Quan is making a final admonition:
"Carpet bombing in turn, pay attention to the bombing positions not to overlap, try to expand the ignition range, and the last squad pays attention to filling the position."
For the huge ten-round bomber, even the empty airspace of Tokyo is not large, and it is now night, so it is very easy to collide with each other.
So Huang Quan let the bombers enter the field in turn, with the squadron as a unit,
This bombing, each squadron group, ten bombers.
'Move fast. ’
Leaving a word, Huang Quan first led his squadron and began to lower the altitude to drop bombs.
This time it's to set Tokyo on fire, not to bomb Tokyo, it's a focus, it's not a bombing, there is no specific goal, it just needs to be ignited, and the rest is left to let the fire spread slowly.
The napalm carried by the bomber group this time, the white phosphorus incendiary bombs were very suitable for igniting the fire, and at this time there was a sea breeze in Tokyo, and the fire took advantage of the wind.
Moreover, low-altitude bombs are not the problem of the bomb deflecting too far.
So there is no requirement for accuracy at all, just drop the bomb quickly.
······
"A large group of bombers flying towards Tokyo?"
Below, inside the Tokyo Imperial Palace,
As soon as the people sent out by the Locust to invite Mitsumasa Rice had left, another devil officer rushed in, and he looked much more anxious and panicked than the previous two staff officers.
The devil locust looked at the staff officer who rushed in again in surprise, and was a little flustered for a while.
He knew that the enemy would definitely bomb the mainland, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
"Go to the bomb shelter."
The locust immediately ordered.
As the Imperial Palace, as the supreme leader and spiritual leader of the Great Japanese Brother-in-Force, the Locust naturally has complete vigilance measures, with guard troops, air-raid shelters, and shelters.
As soon as possible, the palace guards rushed out and took the locusts to the underground bomb shelter.
During this period, he also brought Tojo, whose face was like dirt, and ordered the guards to take the nearby royal family into the air-raid shelter, and the air-raid shelter of the Imperial Palace was naturally the highest standard and the strongest defense.
It is also the safest.
But before the locusts could leave the hall, the violent roar in the sky had clearly reached everyone's ears.
"So fast."
Before entering the bomb shelter, a thought flashed through the locust's heart.
·····
Over Tokyo.
1,500 meters altitude,
The 1st Squadron of 10 bombers led by Huang Quan swept by in a row, the belly magazine was opened, and dense incendiary bombs fell like raindrops, accompanied by a whistling sound, and a series of fireballs spread out in a straight line on the ground in the southeast corner of Tokyo.
When the fireball spreads, it leaves behind a large area of flames.
The flame did not go out, but continued to burn like a maggot on a tarsal bone, and then, under the blowing of the sea breeze from the Pacific Ocean, the fire took advantage of the wind and the flame spread rapidly.
A full 300-ton incendiary bomb has already set fire to an entire corner of Tokyo.
"The second squadron enters, pay attention to the position, do not repeat the bombing."
After leading ten bombers to carpet out the 300-ton incendiary bombs, Huang Quan ordered the follow-up troops to continue to enter.
Then, ten bombers of the 2nd Squadron entered again.
·····
Just when the Huangquan bombing was in full swing.
Ground.
"Take off, order the plane to take off immediately."
In the headquarters of the Air Defense Force, Commander Tian Deputy Deng's tone was hysterical and angry:
"Shoot down enemy bombers."
The location of the headquarters is relatively high, and most of them are reinforced concrete buildings, and the main thing is that it is far from the bombing position of the 1st squadron, so it is safe at the moment.
But he also saw clearly that the southeast corner of the capital was already raging with gas, and he also saw that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, accompanied by the sea breeze, and almost engulfed Tokyo.
"Anti-aircraft artillery units opened fire and shot down enemy bombers."
The order was quickly conveyed.
Of course, there is no need for Tian Vice-Deng to convey that the more than 50 75 anti-aircraft guns deployed in Tokyo, as well as anti-aircraft guns of other calibers, have already opened fire, and a lot of shells have already been fired.
A series of explosions exploded in the sky.
But before that, the devils never thought that there would be a large-scale bombardment to attack Tokyo, so the searchlights were not prepared much, and the troops did not conduct night air defense training at all, so the effect of air defense can be imagined.
To bomber groups is almost equal to scratching the boots.
Moreover, the new ten-shot bomber has a strong resistance to damage, and a few rounds of shrapnel really can't cause any damage.
So, until the third squadron entered and began to bomb, the devils failed to shoot down a single bomber, not even seriously injuring one.
"What about airplanes?"
Tian Vice-Deng began to urge the flying troops again.
"General."
By Vice Tian's side, his adjutant reminded:
"We don't have night fighters and can't take off to intercept."
The devil actually has a night fighter, which was put into service more than a year ago, but most of them belong to the navy, and with the retreat of the US army, the pressure on the homeland disappears, and there is no large-scale equipment, and now, the local air defense forces are the latest Hurricane fighters.
Very powerful, but not capable of fighting at night.
"Yaga."
It stands to reason that as the chief of staff of the Air Force, Deputy Tian is aware of this matter, but at this time, he has gone crazy and out of control, and his brain has lost the ability to think and judge, so that he has made some brain-mixed decisions.
"Order them to take off, take off immediately."
"The enemy is in the sky, even if it is a collision, it will blow down those bombers."
It is no wonder that Tian Vice-Deng gave this order, although three waves in a row, the enemy's bombs failed to fall on his head, but he could clearly see that at this time Tokyo had already been set on fire.
With the help of the sea breeze from the Pacific Ocean, the flames that could not be extinguished spread rapidly, and the fragile Tokyo fire damage was completely uncontrollable, and the panicked people made it more difficult to extinguish the fire.
If he continues to bombard the enemy like this, he will only end up committing suicide by disembowelment.
"Hey."
The devil staff officer was stunned.
Now there is a fire on the ground, which theoretically illuminates the sky, but there is also a violent smoke, and the sky is even more unable to observe the enemy's aircraft with the naked eye, and even the enemy's position cannot be found.
This is the same as turning on a flashlight and being able to see the other side clearly, but the person who is irradiated by the flashlight really can't see the other side clearly.
But soon, the devil staff officer still gave the order.
Five minutes later, even without radar guidance and searchlights, nearly 100 of the latest Hurricane fighters flew into the night and flew towards the group of heavy bombers that were still bombing in the sky.
······
"Your Excellency, go quickly."
In Tokyo, bombs fell intensively, and at this time, the Fifth Squadron was bombing the area of the Imperial Palace, and at the same time, the prince of the younger Japanese kingdom who happened to return to China, King Hatohiko of Asakanomiya, happened to live near the Imperial Palace.
As for the reason, it was a tryst with his little lover.
After receiving the news of the palace guards, he immediately rushed to the palace bomb shelter with people.
But he seemed to be a little late in his movements, a little too unlucky.
The Locust Palace, as the core building of the devil, is actually very well arranged, and the personnel are also very complete, and the palace guards rushed out at the first time, staring at the bomb and starting to extinguish the fire.
However, this time they were faced not with an ordinary misfire, but with bomber arson, and the bomb was very special.
Gasoline incendiary bombs, after the slimy napalm viscous is spread, the combustion is extremely stubborn, and when the water is poured on them, they float on the water and burn, which has no effect at all, and even the flame begins to flow with the water, but it is a spreading fire.
It's not water that can extinguish it at all.
In the end, the guards of the Devil's Palace barely managed to extinguish a few fires using sand, but it was meaningless.
Each bomber carried 30 tons of bombs, each gasoline incendiary bomb weighed 1 ton, that is, 30 tons, 30 ignition points, it was pointless to extinguish one or two, the flames still began to spread, and many devils were contaminated, and finally burned alive.
There are even many unlucky firefighters who were directly hit by bombs, but instead became fuel.
As for aluminum powder incendiary bombs.
Its combustion temperature exceeds three thousand degrees.
At this temperature, the water is instantly decomposed into oxygen and hydrogen, and then burns violently, which in turn fuels the fire. The sand is landfilled, and it is impossible to get close to it at all.
In the end, even the elite of the elite, the Devil Palace Guards, in the face of this unquenchable fire, were defeated and retreated, and those who died and fled.
As a result, King Hatohiko of Asakanomiya, the prince of the Great Japanese Empire, and the powerful royal family were hit by a heavy aluminum powder incendiary bomb when they were dodging a fire point, and they were directly burned to the point that there were no bones left.
With the evil prince of the devil being burned to death, Tokyo at this time was already a sea of fire.
3,000 tons of incendiary bombs, carpet bombing, so that the whole of Tokyo was completely ignited, from east to west, from south to north, are burning, although the fire is not big now, there are still people trying to extinguish the fire, but with the help of the sea breeze, the fire continues to spread rapidly, one by one, one by one, wooden bridges are ignited.
······
in the sky.
"Retreat."
After the bombardment of the 10th Squadron was completed, Huang Quan immediately gave the order to retreat.
At this time, he realized that the madness of the little devil was not to be said.
Although it was a low-altitude bombing, the ten-round bomber was huge in size, and the maneuverability was weak, but the devil's anti-aircraft firepower in Tokyo was really crotch-pulling, and it lacked searchlights, and it had no experience in night air defense, so it was impossible to accurately locate the position of the bomber.
So in the early days of the bombing, there were almost no bomber losses, only two were knocked by shrapnel, but it had little effect on the battle.
The losses are negligible.
But after the fifth wave of bombardment, the situation changed.
The devil's fighter took off.
According to intelligence, there are no night fighters deployed in Tokyo, so in order to increase the fuel and bomb load of the bombers, Huang Quan removed many turrets and reduced the self-injury defensive firepower of the bombers.
But he didn't expect that the little devil would directly drive a daytime fighter jet to crash over and launch a suicide attack.
And it was a collective action, and more than 100 planes collided directly.
Even with the limitation of the field of vision, the losses of the squadron in the last five waves of bombing were not small at all.
One crashed, five were seriously injured, and a third were slightly injured.
Thanks to the fact that the new bombers were very strong, all five seriously damaged ones were able to continue flying, and only one was really lost.
Of course, he had already ordered the five seriously injured bombers to return immediately, so that in the event of a crash, the pilots would not fall on the devil's homeland, and there would be a chance to save them.
At the same time.
Japanese waters.
Fifteen streamlined torpedo boats were cutting through the waves and heading in the direction of the bomber's return.
