Chapter 361 Yamato Burning (2)(1/2)
,
spn1February 13, 1946, the first day of the Lunar New Year.
During the Spring Festival of the Lunar Year of the Rooster, the land of China is filled with a festive atmosphere. The economy is improving, pockets are bulging, and people's faces are filled with happy new year smiles.
In the past year, the National Defense Forces have achieved great and small victories on all fronts, such as the addition of several new provinces and territories, as small as the victory of a large-scale battle, and the Republic's achievements in many fields of science and technology.
The major scientific and technological achievements achieved, the rapid progress of economic construction, the continuous improvement of people's living conditions, health and medical conditions, the improvement of education quality every year, the increase of residents' income, etc., everything is as expected by the people during the Chinese New Year.
1946 was a better year.
But the war is still not over, the situation of World War II is still unclear, and local victory or defeat has not yet determined the outcome of any major war zone. World War II is still going on, and the National Defense Forces are still fighting.
,"Report!"[
Hanking, headquarters for bombing Japan.
A combat staff officer quickly walked into the war room, where the commander-in-chief Lieutenant General Fan Chaoping was discussing the details of the bombing with a group of staff officers. After more than half a month of improvement, the Burning Yamato Plan has been basically completed. Modified according to Plan 1
Military deployment has been completed, "drug" reserves are in place, logistical support is basically in place, and the first target for the bombing of Japan has been selected.
Throughout the Spring Festival, no one from the headquarters to the relevant combat units had a vacation, and they were all busy working overtime on the entire bombing plan.
Fan Chaoping was checking some strategic targets of Japan on the map. When he heard the report, he stopped and walked back to the small office and motioned for the staff to come in.
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, all bomber units are currently ready and ready to carry out the bombing plan at any time."
The combat staff reported the information compiled just a month ago to Fan Chaoping.
Lieutenant General Fan Chaoping took the report, read it carefully, and then said, "Instruct all ministries to be on standby 24 hours a day," requiring the meteorological department to provide weather forecasts for the next 48 hours, especially at night.
"yes!"
After the staff officer left, Fan Chaoping thought for a moment and called the home of Chief of General Staff Jiang Baili. Because of the plan, Jiang Baili had specially ordered him. Although today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, he must be notified once the plan is ready.
.
"Chief of General Staff, the plan has been prepared."
"Well." Get ready immediately. The Chairman of the Generalissimo has ordered, "Let me take you directly to the capital of Hanjingshan." Jiang Baili's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Afterwards, Fan Chaoping put the report into his briefcase, called the taxi driver's phone number, and asked for a taxi
car, and then settled the matters at the headquarters and set off for the base camp.
Twenty minutes later, Zhang Shu was born in Hanjing Mountain of the Republic of China.
Due to Plan 1, Zhang Shusheng specially arranged the New Year's Eve dinner in the Headquarters for two days. On the first day of the new year, he did not go to the He family and the Lu family, and no one else came to pay New Year's greetings.
, "Chairman," on this first day of the Lunar New Year, we wish you a happy New Year, haha."
When Jiang Baili and his wife came, Zhang Shusheng was making dumplings and making dumplings with the two ladies. One lady was making dumplings, and Zhang Shusheng and Tantai Luo Yu were helping. "The family spent the New Year's Day happily. As soon as the two came, Zhang Shusheng
He immediately invited them into the conference room of the Heads of State.
, "Chairman, Plan 1 is all ready. I just got the top-secret weather report from the Military Meteorological Bureau of the base camp. In the coming front hours, especially at night, the meteorological conditions over East China and Japan will be good, and there will be no thunderstorms."
"The cloud layer is also relatively thin. According to expert analysis from the Military Meteorological Bureau, tomorrow night will be the best time for bombing in the next few hours, and the conditions tonight will be slightly worse."
Zhang Shusheng pondered slightly, took the weather report and the plan report and looked at it carefully. After a few minutes, he raised his head and said, "The Burning Yamato Plan will be implemented tonight. The target is Tokyo. We must give Japan
〗I want to make a good start. The whole world knows that the Spring Festival is the most important day for us Chinese. So, since China and Japan are already fighting for the survival of the race, we must put aside enjoying the festival on this most important day and give it to them.
A lesson that will last a lifetime."[
The bombing target this time was Tokyo, which was hand-picked by Zhang Shusheng.
In addition to being a political center, this so-called imperial capital in my mind also has a dense population. Although compared to other industrial cities in Japan, there are not many large factories in Tokyo, but there are countless
Family workshops, it can be said that a considerable part of the weapons and equipment used on the battlefield are manufactured by these small workshops one by one, and then assembled and assembled. [Japanese] I have a high degree of participation from the whole people from the troops to the equipment, which is rare in the world.
The strategic bombing of Japan and Tokyo was chosen to crush the current highly united Allied forces. The British are separated from Europe by the sea, and the Americans are even more isolated from the rest of the world. The Soviets seem to be surrounded.
In fact, we can receive support from every allied country including Britain, the United States, and Japan.
Only Japan, which is so close to China, is the most powerful, arrogant and hateful country.
According to the latest annual statistical report, in 1945 alone, the production of fighter jets was 27,500 by Japan, 29,000 by the British, 110,000 by the Americans, and 40,000 by China.
[Japan]'s production is the weakest among the four countries, and it is also the most likely to fall into a complete defeat. [China]'s fighter production seems to be very small, but in fact it has to be at full capacity, excluding jet fighters, and it takes a year
The output of the aircraft definitely exceeds that of the Americans. However, the Americans have almost become the logistics managers. The fighters they produce are busy arming themselves while replenishing them to the allies. So far, on the entire battlefield of World War II, every Allied fighter plane has fallen.
The U.S. military will make up for the aircraft.
If the Germans had not worked hard to produce in Europe, their air force alone would have been crushed.
The actual production volume of "China" is low, which does not mean that the production capacity is low. The main reason is that "China" does not have to take care of the entire Allies like the Americans. Even countries like Mexico need Americans to send out aircraft to arm them.
, not to mention the major consumers, the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom. On the other hand, China's fighter aircraft loss rate is much lower than that of other countries.
According to statistics, among the aircraft losses of the Allies and other Axis powers, nearly one-third were lost in non-air combat, while the rest were consumed in large quantities in air combat.
[China] has always followed the route of an elite air force. The reasonable combination of high-performance propeller fighters and jet fighters makes [China]'s losses in a year's combat less than a dozen points of its actual production in a year.
one.
In fact, in addition to supplementing and arming the army, a large number of the 40,000 fighter jets were provided to thousands of flying clubs in the country, and the rest were mothballed.
If a [China] country forcefully crushes [Japan], not only will the war environment be greatly improved, but it will also reduce a lot of troubles in Korea, the Far East, and Southeast Asia, and the Allied forces will be weakened as never before.
Historically, the initial bombing of Japan by the Americans was only a dozen or twenty B-25s.
Bombers. Later, after strategic bombing began, there were only 100-400 bombers at first. The B-29
It was not until that time that the protagonist played the leading role. The journey was long and the plane had to take off from the southwest. As for China's bombing of Japan, not only were there enough planes, the logistics support was strong, but there were also enough airports to choose from.
Moreover, with the experience of American gains and losses in history, he can naturally make some forward-looking suggestions for the plan, which is enough to avoid some studious attempts and slanders.
Therefore, Zhang Shusheng had only one request for the bombing. If he wanted to bomb, he should bomb it hard, and he should get off to a good start from the beginning.
After the conversation, Jiang Baili and Fan Chaoping left in a hurry. This highly confidential plan was about to be implemented in a few hours.
Returning to the headquarters, Jiang Baili also came to visit. He held a pre-war working meeting, reiterated the confidentiality regulations, and announced that no one would be allowed to leave the headquarters before the bombing was successful. He and Commander-in-Chief Fan Chaoping would personally sit here.
At around 1:00 noon, after a short operational meeting, the first operation of "Burning Yamato" was finally finalized.
"Chief of the General Staff, Commander-in-Chief, according to the latest revised plan, in tonight's bombing operation, we will dispatch 250 T-40 Tianshen strategic bombers" 150 T-35 Raytheon long-range bombers, and 100 H-13m medium-range bombers
, the total bomber fleet size will reach 500.
In order to ensure the absolute safety of the bomber group, the aircraft carriers Daqi and Dawei located in the Bohai Sea will take off 50 TL-1 Tianlong jet fighters to escort them.[
The specific plan is..."
After the meeting, the combat airports were basically finalized. More than a dozen military airports located in the Northeast, Tianjin, Beijing and North China will be responsible for taking off tonight's bomber group, and the two Warring States-class aircraft carriers of the Bohai Fleet are also preparing to fly to the scheduled
Sailing in the sea, performing tonight's escort mission.
The order was quickly issued to the corresponding combat units, including airports, long-range radar bases, logistics management departments, bomber divisions and other units, and agents from the Special Intelligence Department in Japan also actively took action to prepare to provide assistance for the bombing.
〖Japan〗 Japan, Tokyo, noon.
This is a family located in a slum area of Tokyo, a family of three, including a husband and wife and a child over two years old.
His wife Yumi Aihara has no job, and her daily task is to complete the production tasks assigned by the superior production organization.
His family is a family of handicrafts, and they are responsible for knitting socks. A special person delivers the thread every day, and collects the socks later. Life is very simple, with no wages and only a pitiful ration of food. However, this is also an American.
Because of his contribution, before, every household often couldn't even receive food rations.
But Yumi Aihara doesn't have any favorable impressions of the United States or the "Japanese" government. She is too kind and has completely stayed away from this war-torn world. She only takes care of her two-year-old child Aihara Tairan every day.
From a small handicraft family before the war to a small handicraft workshop after the war, her family has not been affected more than knitting socks for the army.
Because, her husband Aihara Shoichi is a university engineering professor.
, "Zhengyi is coming back soon."
After gently touching Tairan Aihara in the crib, Yumi smiled happily and looked at the time, knowing that her husband would be home for dinner soon.
My husband is busy with teaching work and comes home late for dinner.
Although her husband has a good job where he will almost never be unemployed, the life of the Aihara family can only be said to be ordinary, but it is much better than ordinary people. A little pancake, a little rice ball, and a little green vegetables are the lunch for the three of them.
Soon, Aihara Shoichi came back.
, "You're back.
"Masami Aihara meekly helped her husband open the door to the small courtyard and welcomed him in.
Aihara closed the door, hugged his wife, kissed her, and asked, "Let's go see our child."
Seeing Aihara Tairan sleeping soundly, Aihara Shoichi smiled happily, and then said, "Yumi, our friend Mr. Murata Shun invited our family to visit his home in the suburbs. You clean up and take the children first."
"
"Well, but what should I do when the sock collector comes?" Yumi Aihara has always been a meek woman. She never thinks too much and only listens to her husband in everything. She and her husband have met since they were young, when his husband was living on the street.
, it was the Aihara family who took him in. Later, after the old people died, the two got married and had children.
, “I have prepared the socks, and I have also established relationships with those people, so they won’t talk too much.
Yumi, why don't you take your child and go live in the countryside for two days? Recently there have been rumors that the Chinese are going to bomb us. Hara Masashi didn't say much, turned around and hugged his wife.
