Chapter 125 Mulan in the Sky (first update, please collect)
Bombing Tokyo!
In 1944, it was not only the ardent wish of every Chinese, but also the simple desire of Americans. .
Ever since the B25 bombers led by Doolittle took off from the aircraft carrier and bombed Tokyo in 1942, all Americans have been looking forward to bombing Tokyo again.
“We will burn the whole of Tokyo to the ground just like we did in Hamburg.”
Don't talk about humanitarianism. For Americans in 1944, all they want is revenge. It has nothing to do with anything else. It's just for revenge.
It was like a group of British and American combined bombers razing the entire Hamburg to the ground.
In order to realize this wish, Luo Zizi ordered the Pentagon to formulate a plan to bomb the Japanese mainland from China. The cost of this plan is unimaginable - for every ton of bombs dropped, 18 tons of material support are required , because these materials need to be transported to China via the hump route, the risks involved are self-evident.
But even so, Tokyo could not be bombed, but Kyushu could only be bombed. In the end, the high cost made even the wealthy US military unbearable.
And now, Li Yian gave them another choice.
Refuel in the air!
It only took a total of four months from the introduction of aerial refueling technology at the White House four months ago to the modification of bombing and the construction of the airport.
"Four months, Lee, it only took us four months to build three runways on Amchitka Island, one of which is 10,000 feet long and is the longest runway in the world..."
When the plane was about to land on Amchitka Island, Major Cage, the liaison officer sent by the Pentagon, looked extremely proud.
"And a port and an airport military camp that can accommodate more than 10,000 people and a large amount of supplies have also been built, Mr. Li. It is hard to imagine that such a place so far away from the mainland could be built in such a short time. Everything.”
"Well, it's really not easy,"
Li Yian's eyes looked outward. Now the plane has flown to Montana in the northwest. They will land here, repair, and then fly to Amchit. Card Island.
“For Major Cage, why didn’t you choose Attu Island?”
“It’s too windy there. The weather around Attu Island is characterized by continuous cloudy days, strong winds, and frequent Cyclonic storm. The winds in winter are more than 100 nautical miles. In summer, heavy fog will cover Attu Island and nearby waters. In fact, Amchitka Island is also windy and foggy, but it is relatively better. There is no way. Strong winds and summer fog are never absent from the Bering Sea and the North Pacific."
"Yes, if you want to really bomb Tokyo, you still have to take off from the Mariana Islands."
Two months ago, the US military that won the Mariana Sea Battle had already captured the Mariana Islands. After the airport there was repaired, a group of B29 bombers would take off from the Mariana Islands to bomb Japan.
Next year, the famous "Tokyo BBQ" will begin.
Thinking of "Tokyo BBQ", the corners of Li Yian's mouth raised, and his eyes were full of expectation.
"Haha, Mr. Li, soon, next year, maybe by next year, we won't need to bomb Tokyo with aerial refueling, but you know,"
Cage's hand went to Pointed upward.
"There is a high-level need for us to bomb Tokyo, so we have to go. Actually..."
Cage grinned and said with a smile.
"Actually, I really want to go, that would be the bombing of Tokyo."
"Who doesn't want to go?"
Li Yian nodded.
Almost half an hour later, the DC4 plane landed at the airport in Montana. Before he got off the plane, he saw that the airport was full of planes, and planes were landing from time to time.
"They are all planes to assist the Russians. The pilots fly the planes from the factory to Montana and then to Alaska, and then the Russian pilots will fly them to Kamchatka." Pointing to the planes at the airport When the plane was explaining, Cage suddenly turned his head and said.
"You know what? Those pilots are all female pilots, Women's Air Service pilots. We're going to be here for five or six hours today, Lee."
At this time, Cage's face was filled with an ambiguous smile, a smile that every man would understand.
Not only female pilots, but also female ground staff and female soldiers, it was as if they had arrived in the land of daughters. There were even many female pilots enjoying the sunbathing in swimsuits on the grass beside the runway.
Men, what is the treatment like when you come to the land of women?
Of course, he was surrounded by all kinds of onlookers. Even as soon as he got off the plane, Li Yian heard whistles. It was not whistled by the crew members or passengers, but by the women at the airport. Some people even shouted loudly. .
"Handsome man, look here..."
I have to say that the army is definitely a place filled with hormones. Faced with the enthusiasm of women, everyone, including Cage, gave in Responding enthusiastically, whistling or waving, they were soon in a jeep to the airport bar, where most of the people were women.
As soon as he entered the bar, before Li Yian could order a drink, a woman walked up to him and asked directly.
“You are Chinese!”
Shirley looked at the man in front of her and asked.
“Yes.”
“Ah, Li, Li...”
Looking at the happy woman in front of him, Li Yian couldn't help but feel a little confused. Do we know each other?
"Haha, you are the second Chinese person I know, Li, my friend..."
Friend, I am...
Soon, Li Yian Then you understand, the Li the woman talks about is not him, but a woman, a Chinese female pilot. She should be China's first female fighter pilot, but she has never had the opportunity to become a fighter pilot.
“My name is Li Yueying!”
Looking at the lady wearing a flight suit in front of him, Li Yian couldn't even react. He had heard the story of this lady. If it was correct, she would die in a flight accident a few months later.
“Why can’t women be pilots?”
Shirley put her friend’s shoulder on her shoulder and looked at Li Yian and said.
“She, Li, is the best pilot I have ever seen, the best, she not only flew thousands of planes to Montana, but more than ten years ago, she returned to China After passing through China, I hope to join the Chinese Air Force and fight with the Japanese Air Force, but the Air Force refuses to accept female pilots, so Li came back. Don’t think she is a woman, but she is the best pilot..."
Although her friend was praising herself, Li Yueying still emphasized.
"Shirley, it's not that the Chinese Air Force refuses to accept female pilots, the U.S. Air Force also rejects us, right? We are just an air service team."
Looking at the compatriots in front of her, Li Yueying spoke fluently but not very well in pronunciation. Standard Mandarin.
"I'm sorry, sir, for making you laugh."
Looking at the lady in front of him, Li Yian said quickly.
"No, no, it's them who don't realize what they're missing, ma'am, maybe, you can join my air force, I mean mine, where you can become a fighter pilot."
