Chapter 128 Target, Tokyo Imperial Palace (Second update, please read)
On September 18th, Western United States time, one hundred "Super Sky Fortress" flew away from Amchit as people watched. Kajima flew to Tokyo. After flying 1,200 kilometers, it was refueled in the air by a C109 aerial tanker before continuing the final flight to Tokyo.
“All aircraft have completed in-flight refueling!”
With the sound coming from the radio, the airport was filled with cheers.
As the boss of an air refueling company, Li Yian naturally became the target of people's pursuit. In the end, the excited soldiers even picked him up and threw him high into the air.
Amid the joyful laughter, Li Yian could feel the heartfelt joy of these American soldiers. After all, for American soldiers now, bombing Tokyo is definitely the most sincere wish in their hearts.
And Li Yian is the Santa Claus who helps them realize this wish.
Actually, as God testifies, Li Yian is more eager than them!
"Li, tomorrow, the whole United States will know that we bombed Tokyo!"
Li Mei, with a cigar in her mouth, looked at Li Yian and said.
"At that time, no matter what the result is, the whole United States will cheer for it. It belongs to us as well as to you!"
The success of aerial refueling made Li Mei look a little excited. As a strategic bomber Expert, he is very clear about the significance of aerial refueling technology to strategic bombing, which means that bomber groups can bomb anywhere in the world.
"Actually, I have selfish motives."
Li Yian grinned at Li Mei.
His smile was bright, but when he smiled, he suddenly stopped laughing. Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. These tears were for the realization of his dream and for the sake of fighting in this war. fallen soldiers and fallen compatriots.
It's a long way from Nanjing to Tokyo, and now, he is also on this road.
At 7:15 a.m. on September 18th, Tokyo time, Tojo Hideki, who served as land minister and interior minister after the war in the Pacific, and later also served as minister of education, culture, commerce and industry, and military supplies The former Prime Minister of the Empire, who holds the same position and possesses all kinds of powers, is enjoying breakfast as usual.
The expression is still the same as before - the look of a dead father.
Two months ago, as the Japanese army suffered defeats in China and the Pacific battlefield, the Allied counterattack on the Mariana Islands pushed into the Japanese mainland. The naval defeat forced Hidetoshi Tojo, who launched the Pacific War, to In the face of internal and external difficulties, the machine cabinet proposed to resign from the position of prime minister.
Although he resigned from his position, Tojo was not willing to do so.
He still longed for a comeback in his heart, even though he knew the chance of a comeback was too slim.
“Damn it, why did the battle situation become like this...”
Looking at the battle report that had just been sent, Tojo’s face became more and more ugly. From the Chinese battlefield From the Pacific to Southeast Asia, there is no good news anywhere.
Suddenly, a harsh air raid siren sounded.
The sudden sound of air raid sirens made Tojo confused. He stood up in shock and muttered to himself.
"Air raid alert? Tokyo?"
How is this possible!
Tokyo Hideki quickly ran out of the room and asked loudly.
"Is this a drill?" This is not a drill!
Eighty-nine B-29 Super Fortresses have arrived over Tokyo. Amidst the sound of air defense sirens, people in Tokyo ran towards the air raid shelters. At the same time, people looked towards the sky, only to see I saw a group of giant airplanes appearing in the eastern sky, trailing long plumes of condensed white smoke behind their butts. They lined up in a neat formation in the clear blue sky, like groups of pearl-colored fish swimming in the ocean.
Donald flew the first aircraft - "Nanjing" - which was the naming right that Li Yi'an obtained from Donald and the crew members with more than a dozen boxes of Cuban cigars. In fact, it was not just Such a naming rights, in fact, they have a private deal.
Amidst the roar of the aircraft engine, the "Nanjing" as the guidance aircraft was followed by a total of eighty-eight B-29s. Halfway through their flight to Tokyo, eleven planes were forced to turn back due to malfunctions.
"Today is a good day!"
Donald said with a smile, looking at the blue sky.
There were barely any clouds over the target area, and the target was clearly visible—the Nakajima Aircraft Engine Factory in Musashino, ten miles northwest of the Imperial Palace. When these aircraft without wingman cover, driven by a tailwind of 120 miles per hour, pass over the target at a speed of about 455 miles per hour, they will range from 27,000 to 32,000 ft. to drop bombs down.
As the distance approached, Donald said.
"Enter autopilot! Leave it to you Todd."
At the same time, aimer Todd took over the control of the aircraft, then aimed at the target through the sight, and then bombed the computer With the help of others, he dropped the first bomb, and other bombers also dropped bombs. Of the bombs they dropped over the Nakajima Company's factory, only forty-eight bombs hit the factory, causing very little damage. Bombs exploded in docks and downtown areas.
While the bombers were bombing, the plane continued to fly south. After completing the bombing, Donald did not immediately cancel the autopilot, but let the plane continue to fly south for a few miles, and then Take off automatic driving.
It was at this time that the green island in the center of Tokyo appeared in their sight, and the co-pilot Thomas swallowed nervously and lowered his voice.
“Are we really going to blow up this place?”
“A thousand dollars!”
Donald said in a very low voice.
“We each have $1,000!”
$1,000!
This is the reward given to them by Li Yian. As long as they drop the bomb into the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, each member of the "Nanjing" crew can get 1,000 US dollars!
Actually, he originally planned to pay $2,000.
It’s just that these American pilots have never seen the world, and they were bought for only 1,000 US dollars. It can only be said that the palace in their childhood was a bit cheap!
Sometimes, money is everything.
Although a person with money cannot go to Tokyo, he can certainly throw a bomb into the Imperial Palace in Tokyo.
Although they were strictly ordered not to drop bombs into the palace to avoid causing damage to the palace, under the stimulation of money, Donald also flew a plane over the palace. Todd used manual aiming to way, a bomb was dropped over the palace.
Actually, the road from Nanjing to Tokyo is not far, only 30,000 feet!
At the moment the bomb was dropped, the whistling sound caused by the friction between the bomb's tail and the air rang in the sky above the Tokyo Imperial Palace, even though most Tokyoites had entered the air-raid shelter at this time. But the Japanese pilots who scrambled to intercept the bomber group were all dumbfounded. The pilots on the more than 100 fighter jets of various types were all stunned the moment the "Nanjing" dropped the bombs.
"Baga!... Well, that's the Imperial Palace! Mi... Mi Kuo guys are actually blowing up the Imperial Palace! Baga, Mi Kuo guys are dying..."
