Ignited by 3,000 tons of incendiary bombs and fueled by the fierce sea breeze from the Pacific Ocean, the flames in Tokyo spread like a flood with the help of the wind.

Two hours after the bomber fleet left, three hours after the bombing began, the whole of Tokyo was already in a sea of fire, everywhere there were burning flames, and hundreds of thousands of houses throughout the city began to burn.

The devils gave up extinguishing the fire and fled for their lives.

At this time, in the area of the center of the fire, there was even a fire whirlwind.

The so-called fire whirlwind, also known as a fire tornado, simply put, is a flame that causes the temperature of the ground to rise, and the cold air in the air falls to fill it, forming a convection, and when the air flow reaches a certain intensity, the fire tornado is formed.

The fire tornado accelerates the flow of air, creating a more violent wind, and the fire burns more violently with the help of the wind, and the temperature in the center is even higher, and even the steel can melt directly.

Gradually, those who hid in the rivers and ponds found that not only was the air burning to breathe, but every breath was like their lungs were being burned by flames, and the water beneath them began to heat up.

At this time, the flames had only been burning for four hours, and many places had just begun to burn, and the temperature was still rising, and the fire tornado continued to grow in size.

At this time.

It's not the time when the flames are at their strongest.

······

While the flames were rising, the bomber flotilla returning at an average speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour had already arrived at its own land.

"Commander."

The chief of staff of the regimental headquarters reported on the situation:

"Thirty-three, fifty-seven, seventy-nine, and ninety-two lost contact."

"The eighty-third and ninety-seventh planes confirmed that they had disintegrated and fallen, and the crew had parachuted."

"The remaining two seriously injured planes have made a forced landing on the coast, and the crew has been rescued by local guerrillas."

"Send the news of the location of the two planes that fell to Wang Gensheng."

Huang Quan responded loudly:

"The other three planes continue to communicate."

Although their own aircraft technology is advanced and there are very few failures, it is also a normal thing to lose contact, wireless wave communication is very susceptible to interference, and the things produced by Boss Chen are technologically advanced, but advanced is not invincible.

Just because you can't get in touch doesn't mean you've crashed.

And only one of the missing planes was seriously injured.

"Yes."

The Chief of Staff went to deliver the message.

Huang Quan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his face was full of joy.

Although he has experienced training again and again, and even live-fire training has been done many times, the gap between actual combat and live-fire training is very large, and at the beginning of the bombing, he was extremely nervous, so that he has been suffering from insomnia in the past few days, and the day before the mission, he still went to the Ping'an County Hospital to find a master and prescribed medicine before falling asleep.

Now, his hanging heart has finally been let go.

This bombing can be described as a complete success.

The bombing target was accurate, all the bombs fell on Tokyo's head, and the planned mission was completed.

The 3,000-ton incendiary bombs, except for the one-ton heavy incendiary bombs used to bomb the Imperial Palace area, the rest were 100-kilogram incendiary bombs for the best ignition effect, a total of more than 15,000 incendiary bombs of various types, and now Tokyo has been completely ignited.

What makes him even happier is.

Even if the devil used a suicide attack, the final loss was far lower than expected.

Only five aircraft were seriously injured, only two were confirmed to have crashed and their crews were overboard, and only three were missing.

That is, this time the losses were up to three units.

Up to the most.

Three percent of the loss.

This is still the case that Wang Gensheng and they failed to save a crew member, and after actual training and testing, the survival and new alarm transmitters equipped with the bomber crew are very useful, and the probability of being rescued is not small.

"I'll have to plan well next time."

Subsequently, Huang Quan began to summarize.

This success, even in the case of a suicide attack by the devils, was very low, largely due to the suddenness of the attack, the unpreparedness of the devils and the lack of night fighters.

The first time I saw the 'Roc', the little devil obviously didn't know much about heavy bombers, and the impact position was obviously wrong.

But next time it won't be so lucky.

·····

Four hours after the bombing.

Like the whole of Tokyo, the Devil's Palace at this time was also a sea of fire.

Compared with the Yankees back then, who were afraid of the influence of the locusts and worried that the bombing would cause uncontrollable trouble, Grand Master Li obviously didn't think about it so much, and even increased his efforts to prepare a big meal for the palace.

Five bombers were specially used to load one-ton bombs to add food to the palace, a full 150 tons of incendiary bombs, so the devil's palace at this time was also burning vigorously.

"Let's take a look outside."

The devil locust said to one of the guards.

The facilities of the palace are in place, even if the fire is raging outside, it is still very comfortable inside, water, food, generators are all available, and there is no problem in continuing to last for half a month.

It's just a little stuffy, and it's scorching.

After all, the temperature outside is too high, and the air coming in through the ventilation ducts is a little scorching, but only a little scorching.

"Hey."

The devil guard opened several closed gates and planned to go outside the palace, but before the last door could be opened, he felt the unbearable scorching heat and quickly withdrew.

"Your Majesty the Locust."

Returning to the deepest room, the devil guard replied:

"The palace is burning outside, and I can't get out, so I suggest waiting for the samurai outside to put out the fire before going out."

"Still burning?"

In the room, Locust and Tojo were keenly aware that the situation was not good.

This is the Heavenly Locust Palace, the most important location in the entire empire, and now it has been six hours since the bombardment, and the flames have not been extinguished, so the situation in other regions.

······

"Spread out and search carefully."

In the waters of the Sea of Japan, dozens of small ships such as devil light cruisers, destroyers, and torpedo ships scattered one after another under the command of a rear admiral and headed toward the mainland.

In the middle of the team, there is even a heavy cruiser.

Kaohsiung.

Although the devil is declining, there is an old saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the little devil at this time still has a lot of family background, especially the devil navy.

After all, the Yankees have retreated, and Leyte Gulf hadn't started at that time, so now there are still a lot of little devil navy families, plus the existence of a large amount of heavy oil, so that the little devil navy still has a lot of family background.

If our own 'capital' was bombed and the Imperial Palace was set on fire, then the most important navy of the Japanese Empire naturally could not do nothing.

Gotta do something!

So the commander of the Combined Fleet, Vice Takeshi Toyoda, mobilized all the fastest warships to go to the mainland to search for enemy bombers that might fall and capture the enemy pilots.

As for sending the capital ship to the Republic of China to retaliate, he hesitated for a while and finally gave up.

As the commander of the Navy, he is very clear about the role of aircraft, and he is also very clear about which kind of attack aircraft equipped by the Eighth Route has the ability to dive bomb and torpedo attacks, and can completely attack the fleet.

If he assembles the capital ships along the coast of the Republic of China, then what awaits him is definitely the fleet of the Eighth Road.

Now the Navy is regaining strength,

Build a new aircraft carrier, change the Musashi into an aircraft carrier, replenish several aircraft carriers lost during the war with the United States, bring new people by the elderly, and train excellent naval pilots to make up for the attrition during the operation, with the goal of restoring the strength before the war.

He didn't want to fight the Eighth Road Plane right now.

In fact, he wanted to change Yamato into an aircraft carrier, but the locusts did not agree, and there were many people in the navy who opposed it, so he had to give up in the end.

And just four hours before the devil set off, that is, when Tokyo was bombed.

·····

"There's the Tsushima Strait ahead."

"Attention to all units, sail at low speed, stay hidden, but be ready to drive at full speed at any time."

At this time, Tokyo had just been bombed, and all the eyes of the devils were attracted by this sudden bombing, so at this time, at night, Wang Gensheng quietly passed through the Tsushima Strait with fifteen small torpedo boats.

Enter the Sea of Japan, which is known as the pool in the back garden of the little devil, and then lurk and wait.

"Each unit is searched separately."

After receiving the crash site, Wang Gensheng immediately led the team into the predetermined area, and then he ordered the ships to turn on the radar and turn on the search and rescue signal search device:

"Turn on the radar, turn on the signal search device."

Beside him, Mr. Wen and several young men quickly operated the equipment, and soon, the radar antenna on the head of the torpedo boat began to rotate, while another person stared at the screen showing the signal for help, his eyes did not blink.

The signal transmitter carried by the pilot was from the hand of Boss Chen, as always, the performance was superior, the discovery distance was long, the anti-interference ability was strong, and the distance was found to be 50 kilometers in the absence of strong magnetic interference.

But there is a fatal problem, which lasts for a short time.

The weight that pilots can carry is limited, and naturally, the battery attached to the equipment is not large, and it can only continue to transmit signals for four hours.

Of course, 50 kilometers is only theoretical data, and there are deviations in practice, and in the test, once there is a storm or other interference, the maximum detection distance is 30 kilometers, and the maximum width of the Sea of Japan is more than 800 kilometers.

And this is still the nest of the devil navy, and there are many devil warships.

"Watch out for fuel."

"Don't run out of gas and drive home."

The torpedo boat has a limited range, and during the previous training, there were many military embarrassments of going home without fuel, so before leaving, Wang Genwang once again told everyone to pay attention to saving the voyage.

Then he dispersed first, driving away at high speed in the distance, and finally, he left a sentence in the channel:

"If you encounter a devil warship, attack freely."

Wang Gensheng knew very well that this mission was very difficult, very arduous, and very likely, there would be a conflict with the little devil navy, but fortunately, the torpedo boats that sat down were very advanced, very advanced.

And after several months of hard training, they have thoroughly mastered the torpedo boats in their hands.

Even if the little devil navy is elite, they are not muddy.

It has to be said that compared with the armored forces and the air force, the navy's training process is much longer, and the navy is even more so in terms of the lack of talent, and Li Yunlong really spent a lot of effort in order to gather the crews of 15 torpedo boats.

Therefore, Grand Master Li also equipped the best ships for the naval seedlings.

At this time, the prototype of the torpedo boat piloted by Wang Gensheng was the 140 'Jaguar' torpedo boat from West Germany, of course, the system was also improved and strengthened to a certain extent, and this torpedo boat was called a 'dolphin' by Wang Gensheng and others.

The 'Dolphin' is a round ship, with good seaworthiness, the hull is an aluminum frame wooden hull, equipped with four 3000 horsepower diesel engines, a maximum speed of 44 knots, equipped with four 533 mm torpedo tubes, and can also carry three spare torpedoes, but limited by the size of the torpedo boat, it is difficult to operate in combat, and generally does not carry spare torpedoes, as well as two 40 caliber single-barreled guns.

As a torpedo boat of the mid-to-late fifties, although it was experimental and strong, the engine technology was also very advanced, so this time, the system did not change too much, but strengthened the electronic performance, primarily the radar.

Its radar is very powerful, ten years more advanced than the current one, close to the level of 60 years. Anti-jamming, strong detection ability, can detect enemies in advance, and can even judge the size and speed of the strong.

"It's a pity."

"There are no missiles."

Piloting the 'Dolphin' to search for the intended target, Wang Gensheng muttered.

According to the list given by Boss Chen, there is a weapon called missile, a full-course anti-ship missile, which is very suitable for dealing with large warships of devils, but there are no conditions in the regiment to exchange this weapon at present.

To put it simply, there are not enough devils who have been tried and killed.

"I don't know if it's enough to change the missiles after the bombing of Tokyo this time."

At this moment, suddenly, the radar hand on the side shouted:

"Enemy warships were found, north-east, at a distance of fifty kilometers, and in large volumes."

There are civilian ships here, and many of the devil's transport ships transport supplies from the country to the mainland, but the warships are much faster than the transport ships, and relying on the speed, the radar hand found the warships of the devils in the distance for the first time.

Even knew that the volume was large.

"Bulky?"

Wang Gensheng narrowed his eyes.

The Dolphin's radar can distinguish size.

After the Americans ran away, the little devil also mobilized a lot of warships to return to the mainland, according to the information he collected and the information provided by Boss Chen, the devil has only one big warship in the Sea of Japan.

Heavy cruisers!

Kaohsiung.

Squinting his eyes, Wang Gensheng looked at the four torpedo launchers on the side, and thought in his heart.

Although the torpedo boats arrived very early, they have always been training-oriented and have never fought, and this is their first appearance, and the little devil must not know that he and others are coming.

So, they had the opportunity to get close to the devils and re-patrol and open fire.

533 mm torpedoes, with a maximum range of fifteen kilometers, electric propulsion, strong concealment, a charge of 334 kg, one shot can hit the devil and patrol hard.

The maximum speed of the torpedo boat is 44 knots, far exceeding the heavy patrol of the devils, the vision is blocked at night, there is no moon tonight, the sea is pitch black, and the devils don't even want to find torpedo boats within five kilometers.

And they rely on radar and can launch an attack from a distance of ten kilometers.

Then, you can still run.

"Turn off all the lights and slow down! Let's catch up. ”

Taking a deep breath, Wang Gensheng made a decision.

Ten minutes later, with the help of the sweeping searchlight, the lookout easily saw the devil warship in the distance.
