Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 660 Operation Doolittle

This operation was planned and led by a lieutenant colonel named Doolittle. Eagle sauce 16 B25 bombers took off from the Hornet to attack Tokyo.

But the B25 is a larger land-based bomber. Although Doolittle and others can barely let this bomber take off on an aircraft carrier after training, it is impossible to land on an aircraft carrier.

So, this has become a "go no return" task.

In order to keep the pilot alive as much as possible, Eagle Sauce has only one option, which is to let the pilot turn directly to Huaxia after bombing Tokyo... Landing at Huaxia Airport has also become an impossible task, because of insufficient fuel, so the main plan He actually parachuted when he saw the land, whether it was devils or Chinese people below, he had to resign himself to his fate.

Wang Xuexin has to admit that Yingjiang's courage is admirable, and they also have many soldiers who regard death as home at this time.

What puzzled Wang Xuexin was that this incident should have happened in April, that is, a few months after the devils attacked Pearl Harbor. The bomb that can be carried is only 4 tons. How much damage can it bring to the huge Tokyo?
This action is actually used to boost morale, just like the duel between the eagle sauce cowboys, the devils attacked the eagle sauce once, and the eagle sauce will also sneak up on the devils again, so that the people of the eagle sauce will not feel aggrieved and depressed , negative, and then invest more resources and more people actively join the army to fight against devils.

Wang Xuexin thinks that the reason why this action has been declined until now is likely to be related to himself.

In history, the reason why Eagle Sauce rushed to attack Tokyo was because the Pacific battlefield was retreating steadily, especially the air battle, and the devils were almost unable to fight back, so they urgently needed to boost morale.

but now……

After Wang Xuexin told Yingjiang about the weakness of the Devil fighter plane and gave the tactics to deal with it, Yingjiang has won several small-scale victories in sea and air battles.

In this way, the surprise attack on Tokyo does not seem to be so urgent, so it has been delayed until now.

Wang Xuexin guessed right.

In fact, up to a second before the action, Yingjiang's executives were still hesitating.

This operation is too risky, and it is likely to select a group of excellent pilots. In addition, it will also put the aircraft carrier Hornet in danger.

If the sneak attack is not successful, but the aircraft carrier is lost, the loss in military and morale will be immeasurable.

But in the end, the high-level Eagle Sauce carried out the operation.

Because they think: "Our soldiers have been in peace for too long, they have forgotten how to fight bravely, we need a fearless action to awaken the power buried in their hearts!"

Of course, this action required the cooperation of Huaxia, and Yingjiang estimated that these pilots needed the assistance of the Eighth Route Army more than the stubborn army.

the reason is simple.

Although the Eighth Route Army has few troops and poor equipment, it has the support of the people and there are intelligence personnel of the Eighth Route Army everywhere.

When the Yingjiang plane entered the Huaxia region, the pilots had no idea what was waiting for them below, so they jumped down with their eyes closed... There was a high probability that it would fall into the hands of the Chinese people.

There is no need to consider the situation of falling into the hands of the devil. This situation can only be said to be unlucky.

And if it is in the hands of the Chinese people, of course the Eighth Route Army needs to be contacted.

So Yingjiang sent a secret telegram to Sun Erwei through Perris.

Sun Erwei actually had contact with the headquarters these days, and the headquarters immediately assigned the task.

It's just that this matter is a military secret, and the task of the independent regiment is to garrison Yuncheng, so I didn't tell Wang Xuexin.

At this time, Sun Erwei received information about the success of the mission, so he mentioned it to Wang Xuexin.

Li Yunlong was surprised, and after a moment of stunned, he said fiercely to Sun Erwei: "I said Sun Erwei, your bombers can reach the devil's lair, so why didn't you do it earlier? Wait until now!"

Wang Xuexin hurriedly explained: "Commander, Ying Jiang is far away from the devils, he risked his life to blow it up like this!"

Li Yunlong said "Oh", and then smiled and gave Sun Erwei a thumbs up: "Well fried, well fried! It's best to fry more times. If you are afraid of death and dare not bomb, bring the plane over and let us We can do it too!"

Li Yunlong patted his chest and said, "We are not afraid of death. Is this business a good deal?"

Wang Xuexin felt a little helpless. Li Yunlong was Sima Zhaozhi's heart, and everyone knew that he wanted Yingjiang to send him to the plane for free.

Sun Erwei had been in the Independence Regiment for a while, and he knew Li Yunlong's temper, so he didn't take it seriously. He replied proudly: "Head Li, those of us soldiers who went to bomb Tokyo are also heroes who are not afraid of death!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Yunlong nodded, "He is a man who dares to blow up the devil's lair!"

Li Yunlong is a man who knows heroes and values ​​heroes. No matter what country he is from, as long as his bones are strong enough, he will be respected three points.

Wang Xuexin asked one of the most concerned questions: "How is the pilot? Did you land safely?"

Sun Erwei shook his head and replied: "They didn't have the issue of safe landing, but parachuted. According to the current situation, at least two bombers failed to fly to land..."

Wang Xuexin was silent. He knew what it meant if he failed to fly to land, and there was almost no possibility of surviving.

"Other planes are not sure!" Sun Erwei said: "We can only know the situation until the moment of skydiving!"

Wang Xuexin calculated in his mind that a B25 bomber has 5 crew members, including a pilot and co-pilot, an electromechanical officer, a navigator and a bombardier.

The 16 lost two, and the remaining 14 had 70 men.

The situation in China at this time is that the devils have occupied most of the coastal areas. After the 70 people were airborne, most of them were in the devils' defense area. It would be good if they could get half of them in the end.

Wang Xuexin didn't think too much, and said to Li Yunlong: "How about sending a telegram to the headquarters to ask about the situation?"

"Success!" Li Yunlong nodded, and led Wang Xuexin and Sun Erwei to the communication room.

Because Li Yunlong's headquarters is located in the granary, the conditions are much better than before. Even the communication room is spacious and bright, and three radio stations have been installed... Two of them were captured after the capture of Yuncheng. Make it right, otherwise the devils will also lack radio stations, and basically there will be no radio stations in the warehouse.

Li Yunlong sent a telegram to the headquarters, and the chief asked strangely: "What? Are you also interested in this matter?"

Li Yunlong secretly glanced at Wang Xuexin, and laughed.

The leader of the secret channel is really sharp-eyed, and it can be seen from a telegram that they have plans for the Yingjiang pilot.
