New World War II Eagle Strikes the Sky

Chapter 315, Empty City Plan

When the American bomber fleet swaggered away, the remaining Tokyo immediately became chaotic. Although the police tried very hard to confiscate the leaflets dropped by the Americans, the rumors could not be curbed.In a very short period of time, rumors have swept the entire Tokyo like a storm.

In the setting sun, a little man whispered to another dusty man:

"Saeki-kun, have you heard those rumors?"

"What rumor?"

"The Americans dropped leaflets saying they would bomb Tokyo again the day after tomorrow!"

"Really? I just came back from the burnt area and didn't know about it. Is it true?"

"Really! It's absolutely true! I took advantage of the fact that the police didn't come, so I picked up one... Find a place where no one is around, and I'll show you." The little man looked around, and then the two walked in into an alley.

"Look!" Seeing no one around, the little man took out a stack of paper from his clothes.Saeki quickly picked it up, and looked at it seriously in the afterglow of the setting sun.

This is a leaflet printed on coated paper, the printing is very exquisite, and the upper half of the leaflet is printed with a picture taken from the sky when the city of Tokyo was attacked by fire last time.The lower half is printed with the panoramic photos of the attacked area taken by the Americans after the fire was extinguished the next morning, and on the back are some pictures of charred corpses that were burned to the point of inhuman shape.Then the Americans also wrote the program preview in blood red text: "Two days later, we will attack Tokyo again with incendiary bombs from ten to eleven o'clock in the morning. Here is a notice." Below is the date printed in small print. of.

Saeki's expression changed, and he read the flyer over and over again.A few days ago, after the Allied forces launched the first fire attack, Saeki, as a municipal employee, entered the area burned by the fire after the fire was extinguished to carry out the so-called rescue plan.At the edge of the fire-affected area, he also saw many people with extensive burns, and some people had no good skin on their entire bodies. The wailing sounds of those people made Zuobo feel his chrysanthemum tighten when he thought about it now. .And after entering the depths of the fire area, the scene you saw was even more frightening.The streets were littered with traces of the bodies of those who had been burned.Most of the people who were burnt to death could not even find their ashes, only some charred marks were left on the ground.Occasionally, there are one or two charred corpses that have not been completely burned, and they have become almost like charcoal.In the more central areas, even such traces are gone.Only occasionally someone will find the remains of people who tried to jump into the well for safety in the well.These people hid in the well, thinking they could escape a catastrophe, but they were boiled to death by the boiling well water.When rescuers fished them out of the well, pieces of boiled meat fell off their bodies.The air was suddenly filled with the aroma of broth.Since then, at least until now, Saeki has been a vegetarian.

The charred corpses painted on the flyers now reminded Saeki of that incident.He immediately felt a chill on the back of his neck.If the Americans had come to drop such leaflets a few days earlier, Saeki would have laughed at those ghosts and beasts who wanted to frighten the fearless citizens of Japan with just a piece of paper.However, the situation in the past two days made it impossible for him to laugh anymore.If the first air strike took advantage of the fact that the enemy was too shameless and sneaked in to set fire in the middle of the night, leaving the invincible imperial army unprepared for a while, then the next few air battles made the "invincible" imperial army The jacket was stripped so that not even the pants were left.Zuobo has been watching the air battle yesterday. Although he once thought that the downed planes were American planes like everyone else, but as a municipal employee, he has to keep putting out the fires caused by the wreckage of the falling planes and recovering the planes. The most precious aluminum material, which also gave him the opportunity to take a closer look at the wreckage of those downed planes.It turned out that the wreckage of the planes he saw were all Japanese fighter jets.And this morning, the U.S. planes swaggered over Tokyo, which proved that the imperial army's air defense force could not stop their actions at all.

"It seems that we really need to make some preparations in advance. At least send the child out of Tokyo first. Where to send it? Well, let Kayako take the child to the countryside to stay at her mother's house for a few days." Saeki Think like this.

"Saeki-kun, where do you plan to let the child hide?" the little man continued to ask.

"Let Kayako take him to the countryside to hide for a while." Zuobo replied.

"Well, it makes sense. I also plan to let my wife take Sadako to the countryside to hide." The little man said.

……

"This time we announced that we will attack Tokyo again in broad daylight two days later. I believe that the Japanese will gather all the fighters they can find. Moreover, we have scheduled the time for the air strike so that the enemy's fighters will have enough time to climb. Yes. Ron, is your team really sure to eat up such a big cake?"

"General, the third airfield is ready to use. I have 900 available fighters, and 81 of them are high-end fighters like the p-2000. Of course the Japanese can make more fighters , But I think, at most 1000 will be the top? Considering the combat airspace is beneficial to us, and considering the advantages of pilot training and aircraft performance, we should still have the advantage." Ron said, "In addition, the Navy's fleet Haven't you left yet? I mentioned this to General Spruance, and he is very interested in letting the fleet bully the Japanese before leaving. So, when the time comes, we can still With [-] naval fighter jets to help, we have an advantage even in terms of numbers.”

"Well, it should be fine like this." Li Mei said, "In fact, participating in this air battle will benefit them a lot. Not only can they get a good record, but they can also take this opportunity to advance those who may become 'Kamikaze' in the future." Eliminate. The navy is taking too much advantage."

"However, with the fighter jets in my hands alone, although I can handle it, it will definitely cost more to fight more with less. Moreover, the results obtained will definitely be less. Therefore, the results of the points will be given to If they can reduce our losses, it will be a good deal." Ron explained with a smile.

"Hahaha!" Li Mei also laughed blankly.

……

In the early morning of the next day, the sun had just risen, and the three airports on Iwo Jima were already bustling with activity.Countless fighter jets lined up neatly at the airport, taking off one after another.The fighter jets that had already taken off were circling and climbing over the airport.After climbing to a certain height, it turned to the northwest and flew towards Japan.

At the same time, at a place closer to Japan, a huge fleet is turning against the wind and speeding on the sea.A fighter plane with a unique seagull-shaped wing is taking off from the aircraft carrier mountain one by one, and then it is fully powered, climbing towards the sky.

On one of the battleships in the fleet, General Spruance was standing on the bridge, watching the fighter planes take off.He knew that after the First World War in the Philippines, the Japanese fleet ceased to exist as a strategic force.So when it was his turn to command the fleet, there were not many results to be gained.At least there are no Japanese warships for him to command the fleet to destroy.Now there is nothing to fight except Japanese planes.Not long ago, he led his fleet around the coast of Japan and continuously bombed Japanese airports in order to kill as many Japanese planes as possible.It's a pity that the Japanese are also very slick, and they are not very interested in air combat with the fighter jets of the US Navy. It is not easy to catch them.

But this time, things may have changed. With the Army Air Corps so arrogantly announcing the time of the air strike, Japan will have to send a large number of planes to intercept it no matter what.This is a good opportunity to get results.

……

The fighter group of Army Aviation has climbed to an altitude of 7500 meters.At this time, the fighter plane flying at the front of the fleet spotted the navy fighter group flying a little further ahead.The navy’s fighter jets have not climbed to the same height as the army aviation. Their current height is about 6000 meters. As a naval fighter, the f4u’s high-altitude performance requirements are not as prominent as the army aviation’s. So when it goes to the high altitude, its The drop in performance is more than those p-81s and p-51s of the Army Aviation.However, compared to most Japanese aircraft, the high-altitude performance of f4u is not bad.

The P-81s and P-51s of the Army Aviation passed the Navy fighters that were continuing to climb and continued to fly forward. At this time, the coastline of Japan had also appeared in their field of vision.

……

Iwamoto Tetsuzo is already one of the few true aces among the remaining pilots of the Japanese Navy.Now he has retreated from the front line.Japan felt that there was a shortage of pilot instructors, so it also began to turn the only remaining aces into flight instructors.Tetsuzo Iwamoto's current task is to train those young pilots to perform the task of hitting enemy bombers.Compared with hitting a warship, this is more difficult, and most of the trainees have not yet completed this kind of training.But time waits for no one. Before the trainees have completed their training, the Americans have already come to the door, so these trainees who failed to complete the training must also go to the battlefield.Iwamoto Tetsuzo watched those little guys who were only fifteen or sixteen years old with white cloth strips tied on their heads get into the cockpit of the fighter jet, then waved awkwardly at him, and then began to taxi to take off, couldn't help but shed tears.

"The time is too short. I am afraid they will not be able to defeat that too powerful opponent anyway?"
