When Zhang Chun finally detonated the grenade, a strong wind suddenly swirled in the night sky, but the wind was uncharacteristically blowing from the coastline to the inland. The fire ignited by Zhang Chun and the four people took advantage of the less wind and water, and the fire grew stronger at the same time in Nagasaki Port.
The fire even had the potential to engulf the entire port. The Japanese troops who were busy putting out the fire at the port did not know that a group of murderers had arrived in the air, and the target of those murderers was the burning Nagasaki Port.
For George, it was the first time for a big girl to take off in such bad weather conditions. This was also a big challenge for him. However, George had never been a person who was afraid of challenges and started the plane as usual.
The engine and propeller rotated rapidly, raising pieces of water mist in the wind and rain, almost completely blocking his sight. An iridescent circle was also formed around the propeller, which was dazzling and bright as a mirror, hiding the exhaust pipe.
Spouting blue flames.
It is quite dangerous to take off in such weather conditions. If you are not careful, the tragedy of aircraft crash and death may occur. However, soldiers have a bounden duty to obey orders. After all, they have died once, so what else?
It’s hard to watch. After greeting his fellow crew members, George, with a serious expression, pushed the operating handle according to the guidance of the ground crew commander, and the huge b-) bomber finally stumbled into the air. Each rack was fully loaded.
The war eagles of weapons and ammunition roared into the night sky. Looking into the sky from the airport, they looked like meteors that had been agreed upon, rising from the ground into the sky, and then speeding away towards Japan in the southeast.
In this air strike, the U.S. Seventh Fleet took off 18 "Wildcat" fighter jets to serve as escort fighters. Every three aircraft formed a small group and were divided into six small groups. They flew in front and on the left and right wings of the entire fleet to bombard the long-range aircraft.
The rugged bomber formation escorted the bombing mission. The ones responsible for this bombing mission were all the B-25 bombers Zhao Zhi had and the newly arrived B-) bombers. Naturally, the Seventh Fleet could not just sit idly by and watch. In addition, the Seventh Fleet provided
There were a total of 90 bombers in the bomber formation responsible for the bombing mission.
Due to the very bad weather conditions today, the poor visibility before dawn, and the fact that they were flying at night, it brought considerable difficulties to the flight of the fleet. George, who has rich flight experience, serves as the lead aircraft of the entire bomber group.
, a red tracer bullet is fired at regular intervals to guide subsequent aircraft to fly in the direction of Nagasaki.
When the bomber group was less than 5 kilometers away from Nagasaki, George, who was flying at the front of the group, first discovered the target. "Find the target guidance signal and prepare to bomb!" After hearing George's report, the pilots in the bomber group
He quickly checked the bombing parameters and made final preparations before the attack. The fire ignited on the ground taking advantage of the wind was the bombing signal. The Nagasaki Port surrounded by fire was so conspicuous that it was impossible for George not to notice it.
At this moment, black smoke suddenly burst into the air. This was the Japanese coastal anti-aircraft gun in Nagasaki Port firing at the bomber group. Hollins, the air commander of the bomber group, immediately issued an order: "Form up tightly.
, resolutely destroy the enemy!" At this time, the Japanese anti-aircraft fire exploded more intensively in the front, rear, left and right of the aircraft group, flashing with dazzling sparks, and the air waves generated by the explosion made the aircraft violently bump.
"Drop bombs, start dropping bombs!" As soon as they arrived at Nagasaki Port, following Hollins's order, the bombers in the fleet quickly formed a column, filed down, and swooped toward the airport with a death-like scream.
The military targets in Nagasaki Port were bombed ruthlessly. The bombs dropped by bomber planes poured down towards Nagasaki Port like heavy rain. In an instant, fire filled the air, and the Japanese command post in Nagasaki Port was completely shrouded in smoke.
Among them, the Japanese air raid on Thunder was completely unexpected.
"The wolf head calls the lone wolf, please answer if you hear me." George, who was piloting a B-) bomber to dive and drop bombs, heard Hollins's call from the radio. Like the cleaning team in the mercenary unit, all members of the fighter unit
The pilots all have a code name, and in air battles they only call each other by code name. "Wolf Head" is Hollins' code name, and "Lone Wolf" is George's code name.
"Lead your formation to fly inland along the coastline, looking for valuable targets to release incendiary bombs. The bombing mission is about to end. Please find some valuable targets to attack and don't waste those incendiary bombs." After connecting to the radio,
George received complaints from Hollins. All bomber pilots had clearly defined their missions before taking off. George was loading new types of incendiary bombs. This weapon was not very effective against ships in the port. Hollins was
Complaining about George wasting ammunition.
"The lone wolf understands, let's go look for valuable targets." After George answered Hollins, he immediately used the radio to notify other bombers and escorting fighter jets in his formation to fly inland. The entire bombing operation was carried out very smoothly.
Successfully, the bomber formation returned with zero casualties and bombed Nagasaki for a full hour. After Hollins changed the bombing plan, burning bombs could be seen everywhere along the Nagasaki coastline inland.
Fire.
"Weibo, weibo, Thunder Jiaodong attacks Nagasaki, Japan." The newsboys walking through the streets and alleys were selling today's extras. Today was destined to be the day when they made a small fortune. All the extras were snatched up early, and so were the newspaper offices.
I worked overtime to print, but I still couldn't keep up with the speed of extra-issue sales.
"Bomb Japan?" The first reaction of all Chongqing people who heard the news was that it was impossible, but the content those newsboys were selling was related to Thunder, which had to arouse the interest of the people. What kind of existence is Thunder?
Not all of the people in the city, but at least more than half of them know that the word "Things of Thunder" is invincible. Chongqing's newspapers should not dare to play tricks with the name of "Things of Thunder".
"Nang Xipi, I asked him why he thought of asking me for the 40,000 new recruits. He had been fussing for a long time because he was looking after his home and nursing home." Chiang Kai-shek, who received the news earlier than the newspaper office, was a bit dumbfounded. I originally thought that Zhao Zhi
The purpose of recruiting those 40,000 recruits was to fight the Japanese army, but who would have thought that Zhao Zhi would send all those recruits to Jeju Island to serve as guards. If there were not 40,000 recruits to help Zhao Zhi garrison Jeju Island, where would the thunder be?
Dare to run and air raid Nagasaki Port.
"Well, Boyuan has always been very courageous, but I don't know what their record is, and there is no detail on it." Song Meiling looked at the telegram sent back from Jiaodong by the military intelligence officer. It only said that Zhao Zhi
A group of fighter planes were organized to set off in the early morning to bomb Nagasaki. As for the effect of the bombing, the telegram did not mention it at all. When they first learned that Zhao Zhi had occupied Jeju Island, Soong Meiling and Chiang Kai-shek were thinking about it, but they thought about it for a long time.
I didn’t understand what Zhao Zhi wanted Jeju Island for, but now I know that Zhao Zhi regarded Jeju Island as a forward position, a bridgehead that could bomb Japan at any time.
"Don't worry, the people in the military command know very well. Maybe the telegram reporting victory will come soon." Like Soong Meiling, the seemingly calm Chiang Kai-shek could no longer sit still. Bombing Japan is not a trivial matter.
Burning fire into Japanese homes is something Chiang Kai-shek has always wanted to do but has been unable to do. Now the war situation has begun to tilt towards China. If Zhao Zhi's air raid can succeed, Chiang Kai-shek can use this matter to make the next update.
Big chess.
The wait was long, and it was only after lunch time that the anxiously waiting Chiang Kai-shek and his wife received the second telegram from Jiaodong. However, Chiang Kai-shek, who had been waiting all morning, was naturally not idle, and those newspapers that published extra numbers before lunch
It was the result of Chiang Kai-shek's operation. If Chiang Kai-shek had not instructed people from the Propaganda Department of the National Government to reveal this news, I am afraid that the news of the Thunder bombing of the Japanese mainland would have disappeared without a trace.
"Okay, okay, Boyuan has done extraordinary things. I want to reward him. No, it's not a reward, it's a reward. It's wrong to say reward to Boyuan. It should be a reward." Chiang Kai-shek opened the telegram.
As soon as he took one look, his body stiffened, and even his words began to gibberish, which startled Song Meiling who was sitting next to him. As the head of the National Government, Chiang Kai-shek was not very good at cultivating qi.
He can't reach the point where he won't be surprised when Mount Tai collapses, but he won't lose his temper casually. Could it be because of the telegram just sent by the military commander?
Perhaps realizing his gaffe, Chiang Kai-shek sat down with a blush on his face and said slowly, "Boyuan's air raid was very successful this time. Not only did it destroy all Japanese ships and facilities in Nagasaki Port, it also destroyed all Japanese ships and facilities in Nagasaki Port.
Moreover, the fighter force he sent extended inland along the coast of Nagasaki to attack Li. If Boyuan wanted to launch a ground attack on Japan, Nagasaki may be easier to break than Incheon, North Korea, because they have already
There are no more coastal defense and air defense facilities.”
Song Meiling's eyes widened when she heard the news. Landing in Japan to fight? Oh my God, this is not a dream. "That's what I said, Boyuan should have his own plan. He has everything in Jiaodong and Jeju Island."
The total strength of our troops is only 60,000. Just landing in Japan is not enough if we want to fight Japan on our homeland." Chiang Kai-shek turned his face and faced Soong Meiling, who was also losing his temper, and hurriedly explained a few things.
sentence, I was afraid that Song Meiling would get into trouble.
"We want to give Boyuan a good reward. Let's see what those guys from the Military and Political Department have to say this time. Let's see who of them dares to lead troops to bomb Japan." Song Meiling also agreed with Chiang Kai-shek's proposal just now. What kind of reward can be given to Zhao Zhi?
, but the two of them have no clue. It seems that high-ranking officials and generous salaries are not easy to use. Zhao Zhi now occupies a large territory. He will definitely not care about the empty military rank given by the National Government. It does not seem to be possible to introduce a famous girl to Zhao Zhi.
, Luo Lin is pregnant with a child now. If she gets angry, she may provoke Zhao Zhi to break with the Nationalist Government again.
