Chapter 681 Extinction (Part 2)
(...In order to scare the Japanese and to restrain their air power for facts, our heroic air force designed an air battle over Japan; of course we want to win, what we want is to make the Japanese feel that Japan has no inch of safe territory now and their air force is not as good as us... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin")
China's giants gathered in Taiyuan!? Tokyo's first reaction after receiving the news was to give Taiyuan a large bombing, which was a normal strike range of zero! An emergency meeting was held immediately...
"I think that since the Chinese have the courage to hold such a meeting in Taiyuan, they will probably be wary of our bombing. After all, although they have won battles in Chongqing, they also know our long-range air strike capabilities..." The army generals who almost spoke in unison all seemed very cautious this time. Of course, they had a tacit understanding: it is best not to let the HNA troops make contributions, otherwise if they really make great contributions and then set up the Air Force Department, and the HNA troops take charge of the air force, wouldn't the army be cut off a large piece?
"But do we just give up the opportunity in front of us?" Inoue Narimi fought with a fierce attack.
"Chongqing is also a good opportunity, and the expeditionary army is also a good target..." Seishiro Itagaki ran away the Inoue Nami with one sentence: "Of course we can just do it, but who is responsible? What I mean is to take responsibility with our lives..."
Narimi Inoue was still alive after a crushing defeat, but now he doesn't even have the qualification to be responsible.
Just as the top Japanese military officials were arguing endlessly about whether to bomb Taiyuan, they saw the staff coming in and say that the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Yuki Sakurauna came to ask for a meeting in person!
"Don't you know we're holding a high-level military meeting?" Several generals were muttering, but the visitor was a minister. Although they were arrogant, they couldn't offend people at will.
"I didn't want to go this trip, but there are some situations where I have to go for it myself, otherwise the information will come to you and I don't know when it will be..." Sakuranuchi Yuki said with a serious expression as soon as he came in: "I suspect someone, to be precise, it's the Chinese attacking our farmland..."
"What? Attack the farmland?" A group of generals looked at each other. They seemed to hear the funny joke, but they did not dare to laugh: "Does the Chinese attack the farmland with planes? Even if they really dare to let the Air Force take risks again, do you think the Chinese will use bombs to blow up the farmland? Oh, by the way. They invented a crude oil bomb...Didn't the respected Lord Sakura want to tell us that because the Chinese bombed your farmland, they would reduce their grain tax this year?"
"It's even more serious than this. If it's really like what I said, there might be a large famine in the Great Japanese Empire this year..." Yukio Sakurauchi ignored everyone's attitude. He told the story very seriously...
The morning before yesterday, many farmers smelled a pungent sour smell. They couldn't figure out where the smell came from. At first, they suspected it was the Air Force because they heard the sound of the plane motor in the middle of the night. But they couldn't find anything abandoned by the plane in the field. Just when they were suspicious, they saw the farmers in the neighboring village running here!
The farmers in the two villages have always had bad relationships and sometimes armed conflicts occur, so they don’t care about so many and then fight first. When the two gangs of farmers who were fighting to the point of being stopped by the military and police, they learned about the situation and it turned out that everyone’s farmland had a strange smell, and the other party thought they were doing damage! This was the first recorded accident about acid attacks.
Next, the agricultural and forestry departments and police agencies in various places reported that many farmlands had a bad smell in their jurisdiction. At this time, officials from the Agriculture and Forestry Province felt that things might be quite good. After the officials went to the countryside, they had already seen many farmers crying and grabbing the ground before they could see the fields. The seedlings that were heading had withered in the fields, and even the kohlrabi planted by the fields were no exception, with leaves softly resting on the ground!
When the situation reached the headquarters of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in Tokyo, it was reported urgently that it might have been subjected to large-scale farmland diseases. Sakuranaga Yukio and others were still instructing important personnel to go down to inspect them in person. However, they received more and more reports from local sources. They actually ranged from Tokyo to Nagasaki!
Japan is an island country, and its territory is not connected together. There are very few diseases and pests that span many places. Something is strange here! Almost the entire Agriculture and Forestry Province was shocked at that time. However, the results of the investigation in the suburbs of Tokyo were soon revealed: all farmlands were sprayed with sulfuric acid! Late that night, the field investigation officials also reported even more amazing news: all the farmers at the scene had heard the sound of plane motors in the middle of the night!
On the third day, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry finally concluded that it was the Chinese Air Force using large-scale acid attacks on Japanese farmland, and they attacked wildly every night!
"Originally, our report on these has been transferred to the Military Department, but I personally think the situation is very serious and I can't wait for you to report them one by one, so I came here..." When Yukio Sakuranaga finished speaking, none of the Japanese generals present could laugh. They had already confirmed the speculation of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry... Who is so toxic and shameless?! He actually used such a trick... Almost all the generals were so angry that they were about to explode!
Who else would be so hurt except Cao Xiaomin?? There is no basis. But the Japanese ruled out the Soviets and pointed the finger at their number one public enemy Cao Xiaomin!
Blasting Taiyuan! Inoue Narimi immediately started to propose again, but although the crowd was in a turbulent situation, no one responded immediately: Cao Xiaomin taught them too many lessons, whether it was temptation, coercion or the lowest-level provocation, which time did not kill the action they had high hopes to pieces? This time, is it another trap? Why did Cao Xiaomin use such a despicable and unpreventable method to stimulate Japan during the Taiyuan Conference? It was him who was preparing to plot against our Air Force again!?
Looking at the silence of most people, Naimi Inoue seemed to realize something, and he also felt that he was too reckless.
"How much is the loss of farmland this time? Will it really cause a shortage of food?" Mineguang political reformed the topic and eased the atmosphere.
"There is no statistics yet, but there are many areas under attack. If we only divide it from large administrative regions, the whole country will be attacked! And we don't know what to do, we don't have the air force to protect the farmland..." Sakuranuki Yuki looked listless and murmured: "Isn't it the Chinese incident? Why did we hit Japan..."
A gentle sentence left all the generals present speechless. The bombings of Tokyo and Sasebo can be said to have been "accidentally" sneak attacked by the Chinese, but the current farmland acid attack is obviously the Chinese Air Force comes every night!
"After I get any regional loss report, I will send a copy to the military headquarters at the same time, so I will say goodbye first..." Sakuranuchi Yukio didn't want to see this group of generals looking like a self-deceiving hero. What he was more concerned about is the harvest this year.
If you see all your fertile fields burned to ashes overnight, someone might faint on the spot; but no, Japan's main rice, wheat and potato production areas are now attacked, and all the crops are lying on the ground; the fields that should have been green have turned yellow in just a few days, and the sour smell still exists; almost all the whole Japanese countryside can see farmers sitting foolishly on the ground and crying to death.
The acid rain kills more than just crops. Many of the free-range poultry and livestock eat plants containing concentrated sulfuric acid. They become sick and don’t know if they will die. Some farmers are forced to slaughter all the poultry and livestock they raise, pickle them and dried them as food. Almost all rural areas in Japan are in a bitter wind and rain...
"I think after such a long period of acid attack, the Japanese must have discovered it, so they should be ready to wait for us at night fighters. But they don't have radar. I don't believe they can beat us in the night fight, so I will kick their butts tonight!" A young flying lieutenant made every move and looked very similar to his teacher Chennard. According to the plan, from the third day, they will send a batch of "mosquito" night fighters to the coast of Japan to find an opportunity to beat the Japanese hard.
This is a newly built combat team, all of which are from American Airlines volunteer teams. Because their fighter jets can't even fight for the Type 97. Since they bullied the Japanese Style 95 in Shanxi and Henan, Chennard has been recalled to Yunnan to practice new aircraft. Their flight skills are generally better than those of those first graduates from aviation schools, and they have rich combat experience. This time they were used to test using "mosquitoes" to deal with enemy aircraft at night, and it is best to encounter Type 0!
There are not many mosquito armed forces specifically used to deal with Zero, but they are equipped with four large-caliber machine guns, not even machine guns. The main purpose of night fighters is the range, fire density, and ammunition load, but various conditions cannot be satisfactory. After repeated consideration, because this fighter is mainly for zero battles flying in at night, there is no need to use machine guns for fighting this "flying lighter". So Chennard equipped the four machine guns with enough ammunition to facilitate combat. At the same time, considering that they cannot be entangled with Zero battles once dawn, the load capacity still sets the maximum speed of the "mosquito" far exceeds the standard of enemy aircraft.
This is not only a test battle, but more importantly, the battlefield of this battle will be set over Japan! The Chinese Air Force wants to tell the Japanese through this battle that I will bomb at night every day, so you should be on guard! Once the Chinese Air Force can achieve good results in this battle, it will be able to expose the Japanese military's domestic propaganda, let the Japanese civilians live in panic, and force the Japanese to arrange air defenses everywhere in the local area. In this way, it will be difficult for the Japanese to have the strength to launch an attack in the Chinese theater!
