Chapter 937: A Meaningful Bombing
"Damn it, doesn't it feel like being bombed?"
The scene on the ground was extremely spectacular, and the entire city of Sapporo was turned into a sea of flames.
The crew members on the Super Sky Fortress stared blankly at the shocking scenes on the ground.
This was the first time that the Chinese bombed the Japanese mainland, which made the Japanese people feel the pain caused by the war.
After the excitement and joy, there was only silence.
Over the burning Hokkaido, each formation of the Super Sky Fortress began to return in silence.
Outskirts of Sapporo City.
After the Chinese plane left, people living outside the city got out of the snow one after another.
They first glanced at the sky above their heads with lingering fear, and then everyone's eyes were attracted to the burning urban area.
Thick smoke completely covered the sun in mid-air, and underneath the thick smoke were roaring flames.
When the fire was at its peak, no one thought of getting up to save it.
I believe that no one can survive such a city in flames.
"Crash..."
Suddenly there was the sound of rushing water on the frozen stream. People who were shocked and confused turned their heads one after another. They saw that the stream was getting bigger and bigger, and the semi-turbid stream happily rushed downstream.
The starting point of the stream is at the edge of the raging sea of fire!
…………
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Chinese dispatched super bombers to bomb Hokkaido."
After hearing the news, Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo jumped up.
His heart and temples were beating wildly at the same time.
Tojo Hideki licked his lips and asked nervously:
"How many super bombers did China send?"
"How is the situation in Hokkaido? Is the loss big?"
"Are there any casualties? Have you started self-rescue?"
He asked all the questions he could think of.
"The situation is very serious. We have lost contact with Sapporo City and dozens of military camps. It seems that because of the indiscriminate bombing carried out by Chinese super bombers, the civil and military systems have been paralyzed."
Tojo Hideki walked around in circles a few times, stopped, and spoke quickly:
"Be sure to get in touch with the regions in Hokkaido to find out the specific damage situation."
"Ask the nearest military and government agencies to immediately support Hokkaido."
"Give me a detailed report in an hour!"
“Hiyi!!!”
An hour after the bombing ended, the first Japanese Army aerial reconnaissance plane appeared over the burning city of Sapporo.
The Japs in the reconnaissance plane were deeply shocked by the scene on the ground. He sighed several times to Amaterasu, then controlled the camera equipment on the reconnaissance plane and started taking pictures.
Urban areas, industrial areas and mining areas were the main targets of bombing. Most of the towns in Hokkaido were not affected, so they quickly established contact with the outside world.
Since the port was destroyed, Hokkaido people could only save themselves for the time being and could not receive support from other directions.
As time goes by, more and more Japanese fighter planes appear in this airspace.
The detailed damage situation in Hokkaido was also placed on Tojo Hideki's desk.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon on December 1, Tojo Hideki walked into the imperial palace.
Hirohito already knew the news that Hokkaido had been bombed. He waited nervously and anxiously for Tojo Hidekichi to arrive.
After seeing the Prime Minister, he couldn't wait to ask:
"My dear, did the bombers that bombed Hokkaido take off from Sakhalin Island?"
His Majesty the Emperor does not care about the life and death of the people of Hokkaido for the time being. He is just afraid that enemy bombers will drop bombs into his palace.
Tojo Hideki didn’t dare to hide anything, and Truth Report reported:
"Your Majesty, it has been confirmed that the enemy bombers took off from Sakhalin Island."
"Preliminary statistics show that China has dispatched more than 40 super bombers, which can carry 8 to 9 tons of aerial bombs at a time!"
Hirohito did not have a clear concept of the eight-nine-ton bomb. He only knew that it was a terrifying bomber that could threaten Tokyo's security.
After a moment of pause, Hirohito said again:
"My dear, I heard that we have lost contact with Hokkaido. Is the loss really that big?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Tojo Hideki presented the documents he brought to the emperor and said:
"Communications have been restored, but we were unable to support Hokkaido immediately because the port and the warships and ships anchored in the port were all attacked by Chinese air attacks."
"However, Your Majesty does not need to worry too much about the people of Hokkaido. The cabinet has called on the local people to actively save themselves."
Hirohito nodded while reading the detailed report in his hand.
His face gradually turned pale.
Hirohito saw the burning Hokkaido through the words and numbers on the report.
He saw mines, factories, cities, and barracks being engulfed in raging flames, and the beautiful white snow country had dots of shocking wounds on its body, and those wounds were still bleeding with disgusting filth and blood.
Hirohito's Adam's apple twitched a few times and murmured:
"The enemy completely blew up my Hokkaido!"
Tojo Hideki's face twitched a few times, and he forcibly comforted him:
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that this situation will not last long, and it will not happen in big cities such as Tokyo."
“The Sino-Soviet New Treaty caught the Japanese Empire off guard, which gave the Chinese the opportunity to build a military airport on Sakhalin Island.”
"The base camp is already transporting air defense troops as far as possible to the north, and some troops are equipped with the most advanced radars."
"After the air defense forces are in place, if Chinese bombers dare to attack again, they will definitely be beaten to death."
Hirohito sighed in his heart.
Hideki Tojo left in a hurry, citing his busy schedule.
Intelligence from various sources shows that China has made preparations to invade Goryeo.
China's navy and air force are also ready to move.
The bombing of Hokkaido is just an appetizer, and more severe and difficult things to deal with will be served one by one along with the appetizer.
Tojo Hideki did not dare to tell the emperor about these situations.
'Your Majesty is a god in the sky, let us ministers handle the affairs of the world.'
………
All 45 Super Sky Fortresses returned safely.
Jiangdong has been waiting at the airport, waiting for the last Sky Fortress to land.
The crew members have come out of their somewhat depressed mood. Each of their faces is filled with a happy and cheerful smile, and they are proud to be able to participate in this air raid that will go down in history.
The logistics department quickly placed the strike effects captured by each Super Sky Fortress in front of Jiangdong in the form of photos.
Jiang Dong looked at all the photos with a calm expression and then laughed loudly and said to Colonel Doolittle and Bai Yunqing:
"You have really achieved the feat of igniting Hokkaido, haha... From today on, little Japan will not have a stable life for a day!"
"Every soldier of the 11th Bomb Group is a good person. You have withstood the test and achieved a great victory that the people of the whole country can rejoice. I will let the general staff send you a telegram to commend you!"
Lieutenant Colonel Bai Yunqing and Colonel Doolittle looked at each other and smiled. The latter said to Jiang Dong with unfinished thoughts:
"Tokyo, General, Tokyo should be our ultimate goal. I deeply look forward to the day when we can bomb Tokyo!"
All members of the 11th Bomb Group were dispatched, and nearly 400 tons of bombs were consumed in one bombing.
Although Jiangdong's strength has increased several times compared to before, such a large-scale bombing operation cannot be carried out every day, even once a week is enough.
The ammunition stored on Sakhalin Island has been exhausted, and the next bombing should be in eight or nine days.
Thinking of this, Jiang Dong smiled and said to the two of them:
"Bombing Tokyo will happen sooner or later. The most important thing you should do these days is to summarize the experience of this bombing."
"Choose the target for your next bombing by combining the bomb load and various performance of the Super Sky Fortress!"
"Make an action plan and report it to the General Staff!"
"yes!!!"
.
News that the Air Force's 11th Bomb Group successfully bombed Hokkaido, Japan, quickly spread throughout the country.
Newspapers covered the area with overwhelming reports, and people saw photos of burning Hokkaido, causing a sensation across the country.
I think back then, the Chinese army and people suffered heavy losses from Japanese aircraft.
At that time, the land of China was devastated, and its industry and economy suffered a devastating blow.
The agricultural country fought against the industrial country, and the flesh and blood were used to fight against the steel. After sacrificing countless heroic sons and daughters, victory finally came.
People's minds were liberated, industry took off, and the economy developed.
All Chinese people have not forgotten the crimes committed by the Japanese country, nor have they forgotten that on the islands in the east not far away, a dirty and lowly nation is waiting to be destroyed.
