(In order to frighten the Japanese and actually contain their air power, our heroic air force designed an air battle over Japan; of course we have to win, what we want is to make the Japanese feel that there is no longer an inch of safety in Japan. territory and their air force is not as good as ours Excerpted from "My Memories of the Anti-Japanese War - Cao Xiaomin")
? ? ? ? ? ? ? Giants from all walks of life in China gathered in Taiyuan! ? Tokyo's first reaction after getting the news was to launch a massive bombing in Taiyuan, which was within the normal strike range of the Zero! An emergency meeting will be held soon
"I think since the Chinese have the courage to hold such a meeting in Taiyuan, they will probably be wary of our bombing. After all, although they won the battle in Chongqing, they also know our long-range air strike capabilities" almost in unison. The army generals appeared very cautious this time. Of course, they have a tacit understanding for a long time: it is best not to let the Hainan Army make great achievements, otherwise if it does make great achievements, the Air Force Department will be established. If the Hainan Army takes charge of the Air Force, wouldn't the Army be cut off?
"But are we just going to give up on the opportunity in front of us?" Inoue Narumi fought hard.
"Chongqing is also a good opportunity, and the expeditionary force is also a good target" Itagaki Seishiro's words drove Inoue Narumi to death: "Of course we can use the trick, but who takes the responsibility? I am talking about taking responsibility with my life ¡¡±
Narumi Inoue was still alive and well after the fiasco, but now he is not even qualified to take responsibility.
¡°While the top brass of the Japanese military were debating whether to bomb Taiyuan or not. But I saw the staff coming in and saying that Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Yukio Sakurauchi had come to see him personally!
"Don't you know we are having a high-level military meeting?" Several generals were mumbling, but the person who came was a minister. Although they were overbearing, they were not easy to offend others.
"Originally I didn't want to make this trip, but there are some circumstances where I have to make the trip myself, otherwise I don't know how long it will take before the information gets to you" Yukio Sakurauchi said seriously as soon as he came in: "I suspect someone, To be exact, the Chinese are attacking our farmland"
"What? Attack farmland?" A group of generals looked at each other. They seemed to have heard the funniest joke, but they did not dare to laugh: "Did the Chinese use planes to attack farmland? Even if they really dared to put the air force in danger again, you Do you think the Chinese will use bombs to blow up farmland? Oh, by the way. They invented a crude oil bombDear Your Majesty the Sakura Cabinet, don¡¯t you want to tell us that because the Chinese bombed your farmland, you will reduce food taxes this year?¡±
"It's more serious than this. If it's true as I said, a major famine may occur in the Empire of Japan this year" Yukio Sakurauchi ignored everyone's attitude. He told what happened very seriously
Early the morning before yesterday, many farmers in the eastern suburbs of Tokyo smelled a pungent sour smell. They couldn't figure out where the smell came from. They first suspected it was the air force because they heard the sound of aircraft motors in the middle of the night. But they couldn't find anything in the field that had been jettisoned. Just when they were suspicious, they saw farmers from the neighboring village running this way!
The farmers in the two villages have always had a bad relationship, and armed conflicts sometimes occur, so they don't care so much and fight first. When the two groups of farmers who were beaten to a bloody head were stopped by the military police and they learned about the situation, it turned out that everyone's farmland had a strange smell, and the other party thought they were causing damage! This was the first recorded incident of an acid attack.
Next, the agriculture and forestry departments and police agencies in various places reported that many farmlands in their jurisdictions had an unpleasant sour smell. It was then that officials from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry realized that something might be serious. After the officials went to the countryside, they saw many farmers crying for land before they went to the countryside. The heading seedlings had withered in the fields, and even the kohlrabi planted on the edges of the fields. No exception, the leaves are lying softly on the ground!
When the situation was reported to the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry headquarters in Tokyo, it was urgently reported that there might be a large-scale farmland disease. Sakurauchi Yukio and others were still arranging for important officials to go and inspect it in person. However, we received more and more reports of the same situation from various places, from Tokyo to Nagasaki!
Japan is an island country, and its territory is not connected together. It is rare for pests and diseases to spread across multiple places. There is something fishy here! At that time, almost the entire Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry was shocked. However, the results of the investigation in the suburbs of Tokyo soon came out: all farmland had been sprayed with sulfuric acid! Late that night. Officials who conducted the field investigation also reported even more shocking news: all the farmers at the incident site had heard the sound of the aircraft motor in the middle of the night!
On the third day, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry finally came to the conclusion: It was the Chinese Air Force that used aircraft to carry out acid attacks on Japanese farmland on a large scale, and they carried out crazy attacks in different places every night!
"Originally, our reports on these have been transferred toI went to the military headquarters, but I personally think that the situation is very serious, and I can¡¯t wait for you to report it level by level, so I came here myself" When Yukio Sakurauchi finished speaking, none of the Japanese generals present could laugh. When they came out, they had confirmed the guess of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry Who is so vicious and shameless?! He actually used such a trick Almost all the generals were so angry that they were about to explode!
Besides Cao Xiaomin, who else could be so damaging! ? There is no basis for this. But the Japanese excluded the Soviets and all unanimously pointed the finger at their number one public enemy, Cao Xiaomin!
Explode Taiyuan! Inoue Narumi immediately started to propose again, but despite the turbulent public sentiment, no one among the generals responded immediately: Cao Xiaomin taught them too many lessons, whether it was inducement, coercion or the lowest provoking method, there was no time when he did not place high hopes on them. The action was torn to pieces? This time, is it another trap? Why did Cao Xiaomin use such despicable and unpredictable methods to stimulate Japan during the Taiyuan Conference? He is preparing to plot against our Air Force again! ?
Looking at the silence of most people, Inoue Narumi seemed to realize something. He also felt that he was too reckless.
"How much farmland will be lost this time? Will it really cause a food shortage?" Mitsumasa Yoneuchi changed the topic to lighten the atmosphere.
"There are no statistics yet, but there are currently many areas that have been attacked. If we just divide it into large administrative regions, the whole country has been attacked! And we don't know what to do. We don't have the air force to protect farmland" Yukio Sakurauchi He looked listless and murmured: "Isn't it the China Incident? Why did it come to Japan"
The gentle words left all the generals present speechless. The bombing of Tokyo and Sasebo can be said to have been "accidentally" sneak attacks by the Chinese, but the current acid attacks on farmland are obviously caused by the Chinese Air Force coming every night!
"When I get back any regional damage report, I will send one to the military headquarters at the same time. I will leave first" Yukio Sakurauchi no longer wants to see these generals acting like heroes who deceive themselves. He is more concerned about this year. of harvest.
If you saw all your fertile fields burned to ashes overnight, some people might faint on the spot; but no, now Japan's main rice, wheat, and potato producing areas have all been attacked, and all crops are dying and lying on the ground. ; The fields that should have been green have turned yellow in just a few days, and the sour smell still exists; almost in the entire Japanese countryside, farmers can be seen with their whole families sitting on the ground stupidly crying until they die.
Acid rain kills more than just crops. The free-range poultry and livestock eat plants containing concentrated sulfuric acid. Many of them become sick and it is unclear whether they will die. Some farmers are forced to not slaughter all the livestock they raise and pickle them. It is dried and used as food storage. Almost all rural areas in Japan are in miserable wind and rain
"I think after such a long acid attack, the Japanese must have noticed it, so they should prepare night fighters and wait for us. But they don't have radar. I don't believe they can beat us in a night battle. Let's go and fight tonight Their butts!" A young flight lieutenant looked very much like his teacher Chennault. According to the plan, starting from the third day, they would send a group of "Mosquito" night fighters to the coast of Japan to look for opportunities to beat up the Japanese. people.
This is a newly built combat team. All the members are from the American Air Force Volunteer Corps, because their fighter planes cannot even fight the Type 97 type many times. Since they bullied the Japanese Type 95 type in Shanxi and Henan, they were all beaten by Chennault. Recalled to Yunnan to practice new aircraft. Their flying skills are generally better than those who just graduated from aviation schools, and they also have rich combat experience. This time they were used to experiment with using "mosquitoes" to deal with enemy aircraft at night. It would be best to encounter the Zero!
These mosquitoes specifically designed to deal with the Zero are not equipped with many weapons. They are only equipped with four large-caliber machine guns and not even a machine gun. The most important things about a night fighter are its range, firepower density, and bomb load, but the various conditions are not satisfactory. After repeated consideration, because this fighter is mainly used to deal with zero combat that flies in at night, this " "Flying Lighter" does not require the use of machine guns. So Chennault equipped the four machine guns with enough ammunition to facilitate the battle. At the same time, considering that they would not be able to compete with zero combat once dawn came, the load capacity was set to ensure that the top speed of the "Mosquito" far exceeded that of the enemy aircraft. standard.
This is not only a test battle, but more importantly, the battlefield of this battle will be over Japan! The Chinese Air Force wants to tell the Japanese through this battle that they will bomb at night every day, so you'd better be on guard! Once the Chinese Air Force can achieve good results in this battle, it will be able to expose the Japanese military's domestic propaganda, make Japanese civilians live in panic, and force the Japanese to arrange air defense everywhere on the mainland. In this way, the Japanese will It is difficult to have enough energy to launch an attack in the Chinese theater!
