The third bloody war of resistance Chapter 10 The raging waves Chapter 10 The Flower of Edo (12)

Large-scale group bombing is not just a large number of single aircraft, but mainly during bombing.

The aircraft still needs to maintain formation. During the past bombing, when flying over the target, the formation will automatically disperse. The timing of bomb drops is controlled by the pilot, while the group bombing is not. The flight commander is unified in command. The commander of each squadron commands, and each squadron is in accordance with the squadron formation. From the beginning to the end of the entire operation, each formation must maintain formation and uniformly drop time.

"I think it's OK, just do it." Before Gao Zhihang could speak, Xue Muhua couldn't wait to support him, and he looked excited.

Li Mei looked at Gao Zhihang, and Gao Zhihang nodded silently. After the Seven Years War, his sect became much more calm. He thought twice before speaking.

"Sir, Japan has radar. When we enter Japan at a low altitude, they will inevitably find out. We are likely to be intercepted by Japanese planes in the middle of the journey." Reggimi hesitated and said, "Do we let our fighter planes escort?" "It's not very useful, the combat radius of Mustang battle cannot reach Tokyo." Gao Zhihang shook his head and said.

"There is still a way." Li Meixiong was confident in this: "The British once took a method to deceive German radars. They sprinkled metal strips in the air, and reflected on the radar screen and had a large number of flying targets. This forced the German army not to take off to fight, and at least it could achieve the goal of dispersing the enemy." "Spraying metal strips is a bit interesting." Gao Zhihang said thinking.

This is the first time Gao Zhihang and Xue Muhua heard about this kind of air combat method. Although China was the first country to adopt radar, it has little research on radar tactics. It is not because Japan's radar technology has developed slowly. In fact, Japan's radar technology has developed very quickly. The biggest reason is that the air force power balance between China and Japan has changed too quickly. After the Battle of Wuhan, China quickly fell to the bottom. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, it quickly gained an overwhelming advantage. Therefore, radar has only played an early warning role and does not play a decisive role. China is not worried about Japan's radar.

"From tomorrow, all aircraft that can go to the sky will conduct group bombing training." Li Mei made the decision.

In the evening, this order reached every airport. In every pilot's ears, the pilots of China and the United States performed completely differently. The Chinese pilots were cheering, while the American pilots kept cursing.

The next day, local people found that the sky was full of planes, and huge formations of b29 and b17 passed by low altitudes, and the entire space was filled with the roar of the engine. People in the fields of urban villages looked up at the sky, guessing what was going to happen.

The training did not last long, nor could it last long. Oil was a very precious thing and had to be transported from Yangon, tens of thousands of kilometers away.

Gao Zhihang decided to participate in the bombing in person. Xue Muhua firmly opposed it, but Li Mei expressed her support and proposed that he also wanted to participate in the operation, which made Gao Zhihang unable to agree.

In name, Li Mei is the supreme commander of this force. He is responsible for commanding all the Sino-US Joint Air Forces in North and East China. Another US Air Force descending Chennard is responsible for commanding the Sino-US Joint Air Force in Myanmar. Gao Zhihang is also Li Mei's deputy, and he is responsible for commanding all the Chinese Air Forces in Shandong.

"General Li Mei, as the supreme commander, you should stay on the ground, and as your deputy, I should go to heaven to command all the planes participating in the battle." Gao Zhihang looked serious. No one knew how dangerous this bombing was, but the danger must exist. As the supreme commander, Li Mei was undoubtedly inappropriate to participate in such an action.

"Sir, I support General Gao's opinion this time." Rejimmy also objected.

"General Li Mei, I think that if you can participate in the air strike in Japan, you should ask General Wei Demai for instructions." Xue Muhua said jokingly, his tone was a bit joking, but it was the truth. Whether Li Mei could go over the sky must be approved by Wei Demai.

The three people opposed it at the same time, which forced Li Mei to make concessions. Gao Zhihang decided to take the air command of the entire operation, with Xue Muhua and Rejimi as his deputy. Gao Zhihang will take the pilot bomber and turn tens of thousands of meters to observe the results of the battle after dropping the bomb.

In order to cover up the real goal, Li Mei decided to send three teams outside the main aircraft group, each of which four B17s threw metal strips in the air outside the Daling Yokohama and other places, disrupting the Japanese army's judgment.

The plan has been formulated, and various preparations have been stepped up at various airports. Li Mei’s opinion is to choose a night without moonlight, but Gao Zhihang believes that it should be chosen for a night with strong winds, which will help the fire spread. Li Mei once again accepted Gao Zhihang’s opinion and set the departure time to the next night.

Three hundred and sixty planes gathered outside the Jiaodong Peninsula and formed a team. Stars were dotted in the sky, and red indicator lights flashed in the night.

Tokyo in the night has implemented strict light controls. The citizens of Tokyo have gradually become accustomed to the air raid alarms that sound every day. Each block has organized night patrols to remind residents to turn off the lights, and on the other hand, they are also wary of spies sending signals to the Chinese Air Force.

Frequent air raids did not affect the lives of Tokyo citizens at all. Some strange rumors spread among citizens. There were people who dug and ponds. The Chinese Air Force bombs were thrown into the yard, but the house did not burn. When the owner came back, he found that the pond had been burned and all the goldfish inside were burned to death. It turned out that they replaced the owner's house, so the goldfish were offered up and became the guardian god of some people. A large number of fired ceramic goldfish appeared on the market, attracting many citizens to buy it.

"I heard that eating mustard mixed beans can avoid the bombing of the plane." Mrs. Ishikawa said while packing her clothes for the Ta.

This is another widely rumor. A family member grind the red beans he bought into noodles and mixed mustard together to make dough. As a result, they were all safe and uncensored after several bombings, but their neighbor's house was burned down.

Ritakanosuke laughed, and Tanabe was also happy. The two sat at the square table drinking tea and chatting. The burns on both of them had not yet healed completely, and they were covered with gauze.

"Don't laugh, someone saw it with his own eyes. Mrs. Ishikawa emphasized her tone and said that she put the folded clothes into the box, then placed two ceramic goldfish in front of the divine gold, clapping and praying respectfully.

"No" Tanabe just said a word and saw Ritaka Nosuke gently shook his head. He immediately changed the topic: "Have you seen that the Chinese Air Force has not arrived these days? Have you been scared away by the Goldfish Fairy?" Ritaka Nosuke, who was drinking water, was almost choked and coughed violently. Mrs. Ishikawa hurried over and gently beat him on his back. At this moment, they were like a family. Mrs. Ishikawa was like a hardworking family leader, while Ritaka Nosuke was like a lazy husband, enjoying his wife's comfortably.

Ritsunosuke waved his hand: "Don't be busy. The Chinese plane hasn't come these days, but it's just resting. They bombed for almost half a month. When people are tired and the plane is tired, they will come back after rest. Let's take a break. You have to go to work tomorrow." Mrs. Ishikawa's factory operates three shifts, and the late night shift is from 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock in the morning. The late night shift is rotated. Mrs. Ishikawa's late night shift last night, and will go to day shift tomorrow.

"Don't believe it. Mrs. Okawa next door went to the countryside to buy rice yesterday, and the rice prices on the black market rose again. These black-hearted merchants." Mrs. Ishikawa was like her wife complaining to her husband. The purchase restrictions on grain in Japan were directly led to the active black market. The government's pricing has not changed, but the black market price has changed every day.

Ritakanosuke suddenly frowned and thought: "Tabe-kun, why don't we go to the countryside to buy a piece of land to farm? No matter how the market changes, the fields can always produce grain, and we won't starve to death."

Ritakanosuke Wadabe has been running around these days, wanting to find a job, but when they took out their resumes, even if they were seriously short of heavy physical labor, no one dared to give them the money. The two of them are still living their money.

"We probably don't have enough money." Tanabe hesitated and said that his financial situation was even more tense. Ritakanosuke was fed by himself and his family was not hungry. He also had his wife and children.

Ritakasuke frowned slightly, as if he didn't believe it. Tanabe smiled bitterly and did not explain. Ritakasuke sighed and stood up and opened his small box, mopped the formation inside, took out a handkerchief, which obviously contained something inside.

Open the handkerchief on the square table. In an instant, the room was shining with golden light, and five gold bars were placed on the table. Tabaya looked at Ritakanosuke in surprise, with an extremely complicated expression on his face.

"Don't look at me like this. I have served the empire for twenty years. These things are all my savings." Ritakanosuke picked up a gold bar and looked carefully. He seemed to be recalling something: "This one was replaced in Manchuria. At that time, I had my savings for a year. This one was replaced in Tianjin after the Battle of Rekawa. When we were under review, these things were actually under review. These two were replaced in Manchuria before leaving." Tanabe's expression calmed down, Ritakanosuke sighed: "It has been long since it was replaced by "As soon as possible."

Today, we should have made some money in China. With the power we have in control, the Chinese merchants are still rushing to give money." "Ritaojun, just laugh." Tanabe shook his head, but Mrs. Ishikawa blamed: "How can you think like this? Isn't everyone so difficult? This is illegal. Ritaojun, don't think like this." Ritaojun made a face, and Tanabe also smiled. Although he had lived there for a few days, he knew that Mrs. Ishikawa was actually a very simple woman and didn't know much about society.

Among the Kwantung Army and the Chinese dispatched troops, there were many senior officials and generals who used their power to seek si. They occupied the spoils and accepted bribes from Japanese merchants. After Lai Takanosuke, he knew that at least four division commanders of the North China dispatched troops had accepted bribes.

There are more such things in the Kanto Army. Under the slogan of expanding territory for the empire, Manchuria is a happy place. Japanese merchants occupied almost all areas of Manchuria. Any Kanto Army officer could get gold bars and antiques. In fact, some property was obtained by him, but these things were sent home.

These behaviors in the army were strictly blocked, and the Kwantung Army Command and the Chinese Expeditionary Army had both carried out attacks, especially some passionate young officers, who hated this behavior, so this behavior did not spread, and the lower-level officers and soldiers did not know it at all.

"Out of the lights! Light control!" The old man suddenly came in from outside and saw that their windows were still on, and hurriedly shouted at them, looking very angry.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Mrs. Ishikawa apologized repeatedly, Ritakanosuke stood up and pulled the curtains up, and no light leaked out of the whole room.

"We need everyone to work together in the air defense. You will be able to rush the targets in this way and attract Chinese planes!" The old man was still talking nonsense, while Mrs. Ishikawa nodded frequently.

"Don't worry, you won't be like this anymore." Ritakanosuke said.

After extinguishing the fire last time, Ritakanosuke didn't hate this old man so much, but the old man developed a sense of awe against Takanosuke. Seeing Ritakanosuke come forward, he stopped talking and left after muttering a few words.

"This old guy is getting more and more energetic." Tanabe smiled. After Mrs. Ishikawa turned off the lamp, she lit a candle and packed everything. She said goodbye to the two of them.

"How is it? Let's go to the countryside to buy a piece of land, grow and eat by ourselves." Ritakanosuke reiterated the topic just now...
