Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

The western Japan region is far inferior to large core cities such as Tokyo and Nagoya in terms of natural environment, economic potential and corresponding living facilities.

Due to the shortage of supplies and the wartime rationing system that was introduced just last year, Sasebo not only implemented electricity control at this time, but also had an extremely strict curfew policy.

In the darkness, the whole city was dead silent.

If it weren't for the patrolling gendarmes passing by the streets from time to time, you would never have known that this was one of the eyes of the storm in this world war.

"Woo~wu~wu~"

Just when all the kids were dreaming that their country would eventually become the winner of this world war, a sharp and piercing air raid alarm rudely woke them up from their dreams.

After a while, power was urgently restored in the main urban area, and the sirens installed on various streets began to flash wildly.

The searchlights that shot straight into the sky urged the crowd to seek shelter quickly.

Unlike Tokyo a few months ago, the soldiers in Sasebo did not hesitate at all. Even though they were in dishevel, they rushed to the nearest air-raid shelter as soon as possible.

There was no way around it. Although the navy and the army were doing their best to conceal the truth, they even fabricated false victory reports every once in a while to deceive the people.

However, a certain organization that has made a comeback has already made public the true situation of the Republic of China and the Pacific battlefield, sowing the seeds of panic in the hearts of the readers.

The war has spread to our homeland, and the enemy's planes bombed the locust colony some time ago. How can we feel safe in this situation?

In the panic and darkness, stampedes occurred frequently.

On the main street of Sasebo, Xiao Benzi, who was separated from her family, couldn't help crying. Even if they had been trained before, no one could stay calm in times of crisis.

It’s a pity that the good times didn’t last long.

"Bang, bang, bang."

After a few gunshots, teams of fully armed military police took to the streets to maintain order. At the same time, the city's radio began to play, repeating the top order of the garrison headquarters.

"Baga! Don't run!"

"Everyone, male or female, including minors, must go home. You useless bastards who are just waiting to die, even if you are fleeing, don't forget your tools!"

"Have you ignored all the propaganda of the Vice Admiral? This is a disgrace to our country, Japan!"

Under the threat and moral blackmail of the army, the confused students gradually calmed down. Their faces were either in disbelief or anger, but they finally returned home and took out the fire-fighting tools.

Yes, just go home.

Under the military government's vigorous propaganda, almost all of Japan unconditionally supported or was forced to support the foreign war of aggression.

Vice Admiral Mataro Tanimoto was even more extreme, and he had repeatedly publicly demanded that the Navy be in a state of combat readiness to meet enemy fire when an air raid occurred.

As for fire-fighting tools?

The Sasebo Naval Factory originally adopted a production model in which small civilian workshops were responsible for production, while large factories were responsible for assembly.

Under the above policy, many notebooks not only have to manufacture parts, but also temporarily store various military products. It is normal to have some fire-fighting tools.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The cannons fire, the battle begins!
Just as the guys went home to pick up their tools and prepared to head to the air raid shelter under the leadership of the military police, a bunch of dark clouds that were not dense suddenly exploded in the city's airspace. The searchlights that were originally looking around also became clear in their targets and began to lock on to the enemy.

During the escape, thousands of flares hung on parachutes slowly descended over Sasebo, illuminating the entire main city area as if it were dawn.

By now, even the most obtuse Benzi realized one thing: Marula! There's no way to escape!

······
Since the 3rd Air Division arrived at Kyushu Island, the soldiers have had a smooth journey.

With the advance troops leading the way, the enemies along the way were basically unable to organize any effective interception or counterattack.

However, at the moment of entering the bombing point, the bomber formation was inevitably affected by anti-aircraft fire. After all, the Japanese navy stationed in Sasebo was a regular army, and they would definitely keep some reserves just in case.

"Anti-aircraft fire is coming! Everyone hold on tight!"

"It seems that the devils are still not convinced! Then let these inhuman Japanese beasts see what it means to repay blood with blood! A tooth for a tooth!"

After saying this, Captain Liu took the lead in his Lancaster bomber, rushing towards his target with unstoppable momentum.

As the lead aircraft of the bombing formation, he had a very important responsibility, which was to find the starting point of the mission before the carpet bombing officially began, so that the subsequent crews could clearly know the time to drop the bombs.

The other crews of the Third Air Division also understood the instructions. They always maintained the predetermined formation and waited for the order from their superiors to start dropping bombs.

After finding the particularly distinctive marker, Captain Liu decisively shouted in the communication channel:
"bomb!"

Following the command from the pilot, the entire fleet formed a formation at an altitude of 4 meters. The first Lancaster released its bomb at 08: a.m. local time.

One by one, napalm bombs and high-explosive bombs broke away from the ammunition magazine. Starting from the Sasebo Naval Factory, they fell to the ground in dense masses like dumplings.

At the beginning, the entire formation was still concentrated, but the fierce counterattack of the Japanese Navy's medium anti-aircraft guns forced the comrades to disperse the formation in the middle of the target airspace.

Therefore, the bombing accuracy of the last few waves was not very ideal.

But it's not a big problem. After all, we are carpet bombing, so accuracy and precision are really not that important.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Although this was not the first time that our comrades had used napalm, its destructive power to wooden buildings was still unparalleled.

From the starting point of the bombing to the center of Sasebo's main city, countless red fireballs rose slowly, followed by a series of dull and huge explosions.

Looking at the blazing fire and the naval dock destroyed by high-explosive bombs, the pleasure of revenge was revealed on the face of every comrade.

In this battle, the Eighth Route Army Air Force dispatched 150 strategic bombers, dropping more than tons of bombs.

Although the number of fighter planes used in the Sasebo bombing was not as good as that of the British in the Leipzig bombing, the latter was far inferior in terms of the damage effect.

"Quick! Take photos and record videos."

"This is the first time our Air Force 3rd Division has carried out a night bombing. The materials we collect are all top-notch teaching materials. As for whether to publish it in the newspaper, we will decide after the specific damage results come out."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the self-defense machine gunners of each crew took out their video cameras and recorded this magnificent scene. (End of this chapter)
