After the Pearl Harbor attack, the whole country was filled with resentment.

Not only was it because the U.S. military lost four battleships, two destroyers, and 188 aircraft in the Japanese surprise attack;

Nor was it simply because the strike killed more than 2400 Americans.

The most important point is that the Japanese did not declare war. It was only after the air raid on Pearl Harbor that they declared war on the Americans with a letter of challenge.

[Conspiracy theory: This is the result most expected by the core layer of the United States. ]

At this moment when the whole country is united in hatred of the enemy, the US government urgently needs a retaliatory action to boost public morale, and urgently needs a tactically meaningless retaliatory action to prove their firm will.

So in late December, the US President issued instructions to the military at the Joint Chiefs of Staff, requiring them to organize a retaliatory strike against the Japanese devils as soon as possible.

But the U.S. military was very helpless. The only means of retaliation they could think of was to send a fleet as close to the Japanese mainland as possible, then take off bombers from aircraft carriers, bomb the Japanese mainland and then return.

According to this plan, given the range of the US Navy's bombers, their fleet would have to get close to the sea hundreds of kilometers away from the Japanese mainland to take off and land aircraft.

Otherwise, it will easily lead to a situation where the dog is beaten with a meat bun.

However, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese army had already gained control of the sea. The closer they were to the Japanese mainland, the greater the chance of being discovered by the Japanese army - being hundreds of kilometers away from the Japanese mainland was tantamount to being under the nose of the Japanese Navy, which was tantamount to giving away their lives.

It is hard to say whether the planes taking off from the aircraft carrier can bomb the Japanese mainland, but their fleet, 6,000 kilometers away from Hawaii, will definitely be wiped out by the Japanese.

The US military was stumped and didn't know how to complete the task assigned by the president.

However, a telegram from China gave American generals hope.

A Marine lieutenant colonel named Zock gave them advice during the battle in China - or rather, a request. This young lieutenant colonel made the following request:
The Army's B25 was moved onto the deck of an aircraft carrier and used to carry out retaliatory bombing of the Japanese mainland in response to the Japanese devils' sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.

The US military generals immediately began to discuss the issue. They circled the area of ​​the aircraft carrier deck on the ground and used the B25 to test whether it could take off.

The answer satisfied them.

The only problem is that it can take off, but it can't land.

The deck of an aircraft carrier is too short to support the landing of land-based bombers.

But Zouk offered a solution:
After the bombing, the bombing formation did not return to the aircraft carrier formation where it was impossible to land, but flew to China and landed in Chinese territory.

This is simply a genius idea!

The maximum combat radius of the B25 is more than 2100 kilometers, but this is theoretical data. The actual data is seriously affected by factors such as bomb load and flight speed. The actual combat radius cannot be so high.

Zok's plan only requires the naval fleet to send the bombing formation to a location 1200 kilometers away from the Japanese mainland. After crossing these 1200 kilometers to bomb the Japanese mainland, the bombing formation will fly another 2000 kilometers to land in Zhejiang or Jiangxi, China.

2000+1200, which is far less than the maximum range of B25 (combat radius multiplied by 2).

After confirming the feasibility, the US military began testing.

……

Zhang Anping was very enthusiastic about the air raid on Tokyo.

In this matter, he set himself two small goals:

1. Take this opportunity to help Zoke and have a solid personal relationship with more American generals - mainly for American aid;

2. Through this successful air raid on Tokyo, the U.S. military will try to normalize air raids on Japan - deploy bombers and fighter jets in Chinese territory and weaken Japan's war potential through frequent bombings.

The former is easy to achieve, but the latter is purely a matter of man proposing and God disposing.

But what surprised Zhang Anping was that, because this plan was an idea provided by Zok to the US military, which gave Zok a great say in this military operation, he was hastily recalled to his homeland by the US military at the end of December 41. Unexpectedly, at the end of February 12, when Zhang Anping was still sharpening his knife to fight against vampires, he rushed to China and went directly to Zhuji to see Zhang Anping.

Before he saw Zhang Anping, the voice reached Zhang Anping's ears:

"Zhang, I need your help!"

Zhang Anping just received the news that Zoker was coming yesterday, but he didn't expect that he would show up in Zhuji the next day. He went to greet him in surprise:

"problem occurs?"

"No, it's not an accident, it's a good thing!"

Lieutenant Colonel Zock - no, to be more precise, it was Colonel Zock. Because of his meritorious service in protecting overseas Chinese and bringing his subordinates back safely from the concession, Zock was unsurprisingly promoted to a higher rank in the US military, which was in urgent need of officers with rich practical combat experience.

"The plan has been finalized. We are currently conducting adaptive training at Eglin Field in Florida. However, in order to ensure the smooth and safe operation of the entire operation, Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle of the Army Air Force has discussed with me several times and decided to take a safety precaution."

Zoker eagerly told the contents of the insurance measures.

This insurance measure gave Zhang Anping the illusion that pie had fallen from the sky.

The insurance measures that Zock and Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle discussed were simple:
Since they were going to land in China, why not consider deploying another bombing formation in China?
Double insurance ensures peace!

Since another bombing formation was to be deployed, why not simply deploy a fighter formation to escort it, thereby directly removing all the self-defense weapons on the first bombing formation?

Zhang Anping was so surprised by the news that he couldn't close his mouth. His original plan was to wait until the "Doolittle Raid" which would most likely be renamed in this time and space was over, and then use various connections to let the US military deploy bombers in China to carry out regular bombing of the Japanese mainland. He didn't expect that pie would fall from the sky, and the US military would take the initiative to increase the number of bombers involved in the air raid on Tokyo!

To use a phrase from later generations: Now that we are here…

Now that we've come here and worked so hard, we can't just bomb once and be done with it, right?
Facing the news from Zoker, Zhang Anping said solemnly:
"Colonel Zock, how can I help you? I will do my best!"

"Our people are already negotiating with your top leaders on this matter. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a result soon. I would like to ask you to find a location for the airport, and I would also like you to be responsible for the confidentiality of the airport. Zhang, I know this is a waste of talent, but this matter is very important. Apart from you, I don't trust other officials of your National Government."

Zoke was afraid that Zhang Anping would not agree, so he hurried to explain.

"give it to me."

Zhang Anping didn't care about Zok's explanation. This matter really had to be kept secret. It was the first air raid on Tokyo, and suddenness was very important. If the Japanese were prepared, the plan would most likely fail, so confidentiality was the top priority.

……

The Nationalist government approved the US military's airport construction application at an extremely fast speed.

Due to the recommendation of the Americans and the fact that their superiors had great trust in Zhang Anping, they threw all the construction and security work of the airport to Zhang Anping, and approved the funds as soon as possible.

Zhang Anping, who had received the new assignment, did not dare to delay. He left the miscellaneous matters in Zhuji to Xu Tian, ​​and took his men to select a site for the airport.

After several days of traveling and investigating, Zhang Anping determined the construction sites of four airports, which were located in Longyou, Yushan, Changshan and his hometown Jiangshan County.

But these four airports were just a decoy. He ordered Qu Yuanmu to be the supervisor in Guangfeng and Qianshan, and go to these two places to supervise the construction of airports. But the construction speed of Guangfeng and Qianshan must be slow, and must fall behind the construction of the first four airports.

Although Qu Yuanmu didn't know the reason why Zhang Anping gave such an order, he had to carry out Zhang Anping's order without any discussion.

Construction work on six airports began.

The Japanese intelligence agencies soon noticed the six airports under construction and immediately sent more spies to infiltrate and conduct reconnaissance.

Because Zhang Anping was hiding behind the scenes and his name was not listed in the supervision of the construction work, the Japanese did not realize that this was a project Zhang Anping was in charge of. In addition, the confidentiality of the airport was very general, and the Japanese spies quickly obtained detailed intelligence.

[After the establishment of the Chinese theater, the Nationalist government and the U.S. military reached an agreement that the U.S. military would provide the Nationalist government with more than 100 fighter planes of various types free of charge. These fighter planes would be directly delivered to the factory under construction to cooperate with the Third Theater in combat.]

Through various channels, the Japanese intelligence agencies confirmed the reasons for the construction of these six airports and immediately launched a more in-depth investigation.

As in the past, the Japanese intelligence agencies were invincible in their offensive against the Nationalist army in terms of money and beauties, and soon obtained specific time:
On April 4, American planes carrying aid to the Nationalist government will arrive at the newly built airport in the Third War Zone.

After obtaining this information from several channels, the Japanese intelligence agency was ecstatic and immediately transferred the information to the Army Air Force and prepared to cooperate with the Army Air Force.

Once the American aid planes arrived, the intelligence department would immediately inform the Army Air Force, which would then organize a bombing formation to destroy all of the planes while they were at the airport.

……

The airport project that Zhang Anping personally led was so easily accessible to the Japanese with piece of intelligence one after another. There must be something fishy going on!
"The best defense is offense!"

Zhang Anping explained to Zoker why he deliberately "opened his heart":

"Building an airport will make too much noise. It's not easy to keep it secret. Given the level of intelligence penetration the Japanese have here, it's impossible to conceal it."

"Since we can't hide it from them, then we might as well not hide it from them - we should repair it openly and do it openly!"

Zok had the illusion that he was trapped in a siege and fought thousands of miles away some time ago. The arrogance after being promoted to colonel quickly disappeared, and he asked humbly:
"Zhang, how are you going to trick the Japanese?"

Zhang Anping sneered:
"It's been a long time since the First Air Defense Division had close contact with the Japanese. Feelings become alienated over time. This time... is a good opportunity to strengthen our relationship."

Zoker understands Chinese, but his level of understanding is only "wipe it, I won't wipe it". Facing Zhang Anping's friendly words, he always feels that it is not as simple as it seems.

However, he trusted Zhang Anping too much. During the breakout from Shanghai, Zhang was able to lead them out of such a dangerous situation. He believed that Zhang would be able to trick the Japanese again.

……

After the Japanese intelligence agencies patiently waited, the day for the planes to arrive finally arrived. More than 140 planes landed at four renovated airports at dusk. The National Army then sent a large number of troops to impose martial law around the airports.

This look of being as if facing a formidable enemy made the Japanese want to laugh.

Are you remembering martial law now?
late!

What would it matter even if I plucked out their eyes now?

That night, more than 80 Japanese bombers, escorted by dozens of fighter planes, attacked the four airports.

The Japanese intelligence agency also developed a number of insiders in the airport. When the fleet of planes arrived, these insiders used flashlights to guide the Japanese bombers in the bombing.

Faced with the sudden bombing formation of the Japanese army, the air defense forces stationed around the four airports naturally had to fight desperately to carry out air defense blocking.

The battle became intense from the beginning.

At first, the Japanese bombing formation thought it was normal to face the desperate resistance of the National Army's air defense forces. However, as the battle continued, the commander of the Japanese bombing formation felt that something was wrong - why were the losses getting bigger and bigger?

"This rhythm of prevention and control...why does it feel so familiar?"

Japan's Army Aviation and Naval Aviation have dealt with the Nationalist Air Defense Force too many times and are very familiar with it. The current air defense force is completely different from other Nationalist air defense forces. It has a strong fighting will and extremely special tactics.

A Japanese officer who had participated in the dumpling-making operation at Shenlong Gorge suddenly shouted:
"Shenlong Gorge!"

Just a name, the Japanese officers who participated in the Shenlong Gorge dumpling attack fell into painful memories - if you don't experience it yourself, it is absolutely difficult to imagine the despair, anger and unwillingness of the participants in the Shenlong Gorge dumpling attack. After paying a heavy price, they suddenly found that the target they had bombed for a long time was actually a pile of worthless wood - for this pile of wood, they put in one bomber after another. This feeling makes them red-eyed every time they think of it.

"The First Air Defense Division! It's the First Air Defense Division!"

A staff officer pulled himself out of the painful memories as quickly as possible and instantly realized what the familiar feeling was.

"It's them - the time for revenge has come! Gentlemen, the time for revenge has come! Blow them to death! Blow them up completely!"

The commander of the bomber formation's eyes turned red, as his brother had died in the Shenlong Gorge - even though he committed suicide by seppuku, his hatred could only be directed at the First Air Defense Division.

Following the commander's orders, the Japanese aircraft formations that had carried out successive bombings on the airport began to fiercely retaliate against the surrounding air defense positions. Even if this resulted in continuous casualties, they were determined to retaliate.

After all, the 1st Air Defense Division became famous by stepping on the corpses of the Japanese Army Air Force.

The battle between the ground and the air began again.

Anti-aircraft positions were constantly being destroyed, but Japanese planes also kept crashing. Both sides gritted their teeth and fought each other in an endless metal storm, disregarding life and death.

But as the competition intensified, some Japanese pilots who had participated in the attack on Shenlong Gorge could not help but think of the burning "supplies" in Shenlong Gorge - that pile of damn models appeared in their minds again.

Hey, why does this scene look so familiar?
The same American aid, the same dominant bombing, the same desperate resistance, and the same decreasing advantage...

Amid the confusion of the crew, a Japanese pilot maneuvered his plane out of the attack formation against the air defense position and flew into the airspace over the airport where countless bombs had been consumed.

The plane began to lower its altitude, almost flying close to the ground.

The bombardier used the flames to see the true appearance of the burning planes and stammered:
"It's...it's...it's...wood..."

The Japanese pilot thought to himself, no wonder it looks so familiar! !
After the plane gained altitude, he began to contact the commander to report his findings.

"wood?"

"Model?!"

The commander of the bombing formation, who had bombed the airport for more than twenty minutes and fought fiercely with the air defense forces for more than twenty minutes, was stunned.

"It's a hoax! It's a hoax!"

“No American aid!”

"This is a complete scam!"

"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

The commander, who had just woken up from a dream, then gave the order to retreat.

As he came to his senses, the battle between the ground and the air came to an end, and the Japanese fleet fled in panic.

In this battle, the First Air Defense Division worked together with the Third War Zone Air Defense Forces to destroy a total of 18 enemy aircraft and injure countless others.

The Japanese army's massive bombing formation, in addition to causing casualties to the air defense forces, only destroyed a pile of wooden models.

……

Zhang Anping showed up at the airport that was hit by Japanese bombs that night. Looking at the destroyed "planes" one after another, Zhang Anping was very angry and decided to question the Japanese harshly through the newspaper:

I worked so hard to make a bunch of wooden models, hoping to replicate fighter planes from various countries for teaching purposes. But you Japanese have no moral principles and blew up all my teaching aids!

Even if we are in a state of war, you can't bully people like this, right?
Zoker, who was standing by, felt like he was being electrocuted as he listened to Zhang Anping narrating the news - his whole body was numb!
The Japanese will be pissed off by you!
……

It’s true, this time many Japanese intelligence officers were really "angered" to death.

Since Lu Hang suffered such a huge loss, it was natural for him to find trouble with the intelligence agencies. The intelligence agencies also learned about what happened through newspapers published in the Kuomintang-controlled areas. After realizing that they were being taught a lesson by Zhang Shihao and that Zhang Shihao had taken advantage of them and was ungrateful, they immediately split.

The lieutenant colonel in charge of this intelligence operation unsurprisingly [preserved the family honor], and several officers who promoted the joint operation with the Army Aviation Corps also had to confess their mistakes.

Although the Army Air Force suffered no casualties, the commander in charge was driven back to his homeland. Coupled with the sarcastic ridicule in the newspapers, the Japanese Army Air Force automatically took detours when they saw the National Army's airports for a period of time afterwards.

There is no choice but to go around. The planes are parked blatantly at the airport, and the surroundings are not peaceful at all. Who can't see such an obvious trap?
In the words of a Japanese pilot:
You Chinese have a lot of wood, but we don’t have many bombs!

So, with the Japanese planes turning a blind eye, the American pilots finally landed their planes at the airports in Qianshan and Guangxin at dusk on April 4.

The ground crew who had been prepared long ago began to skillfully hide the US military aircraft, but what puzzled the American pilots was that the ground crew only hid half of the aircraft. The remaining aircraft were all parked at the airport, and they were not lined up but placed randomly, as if they were not aircraft but some free models.

For this purpose, the US military representative also communicated with Zhang Anping specifically.

Of course, the result was that the U.S. military representatives learned an idiom: reality is false.

Although the U.S. military reluctantly accepted the suspension of operations under Zok's guarantee, they were always worried for the next two days, fearing that their planes would be destroyed by Japanese planes.

But unexpectedly, some Japanese planes passed by the airport that day. The American pilots were ready to take off, but they were told not to pay any attention to them. They watched helplessly as the Japanese planes flew over the airport without calling for any bombers.

"Have all the Japanese pilots been bribed?"

American pilots can only use this reason to fool themselves.

……

March 1942, 4, early morning.

At daybreak, Guangxin Airport and Qianshan Airport became busy. 34 B25 bombers and more than escorting fighter jets began to warm up.

When the time came to six o'clock, the prepared plane began to take off under the command of the ground crew.

According to the planned route, they will fly out of China at the highest takeoff altitude, then fly at an ultra-low altitude over the sea, heading towards Nagasaki.

At the airport, Zhang Anping watched the flight formation take off and gain altitude, his eyes gradually becoming unusually deep.

In the original time and space, the U.S. military used a fleet and two aircraft carriers to send 16 modified B25s to a place 1200 kilometers away from the Japanese mainland (300 kilometers more than the planned distance), and then had to release the fleet.

The fleet bombed Tokyo and its surrounding areas.

There were a total of 16 B25s, which actually could not cause much damage to Japan, but the bombing was more of a strategic significance - it was a declaration to the Japanese: I have the ability to attack your homeland.

It can be summed up in seven words:

The bandits can go and I can go too!

But at this time and space, because of the existence of Zhang Anping, the US military increased its investment in this air raid. In addition to the original bombing formation, it also prepared twice as many bombers as the Doolittle formation for the Japanese in the direction of China.

The bombers in this formation have not removed their onboard weapons and have considerable self-defense capabilities. In China, they are even escorted by Warhawk fighter jets.

In Zhang Anping's sight, the aircraft formation gradually disappeared. When it was no longer visible, Zhang Anping whispered to himself:

“This is just the beginning…”

……

On May 1938, 5, two Martin B-19 bombers of the Chinese Air Force took off from Wuhan, flew over the East China Sea, and came over the Japanese cities of Nagasaki, Fukuoka and others, dropping a large number of... propaganda leaflets.

One month before the fourth anniversary, 4 bombers took off from mainland China and flew towards mainland Japan.

Even though this is a US military aircraft.

But this still means that this is a counterattack from China:
The bandits can go and I can go too!

……

At noon Tokyo time, the two groups of aircraft arrived over their respective targets at the same time.

The fleet led by Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle targeted the Tokyo area of ​​Japan, while the second bombing formation targeted the Nagasaki area.

After the two groups of aircraft arrived over Japan at the same time, they began their respective performances.

The Japanese launched a full-scale war of aggression against China in 1937. Even though they fought until their fuel was exhausted, they still acted recklessly as the victors. The whole of Japan was immersed in the lie that they had crushed China - if the truth was so, the Japanese would have no need to offend the United States and Britain and go south.

But the Japanese mainland was wrapped in this woven lie. Even when the fleet of planes came over their heads, they thought they were their own planes.

It was not until the bombs fell with screams, until the explosions sounded in the factory area, until small mushroom clouds rose into the sky, that the Japanese realized one thing:

This is an enemy plane!
Then, the Tokyo and Nagasaki areas howled with joy in the explosion.

During the joyful bombing, the Second Squadron suffered no casualties, but one of the planes in the First Squadron led by Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle ran out of fuel due to a carburetor problem and was forced to fly to the Soviet Union. The remaining fifteen planes flew to China.

It was already dark when the two formations of aircraft arrived in China. The crew members who were unfamiliar with the Chinese environment could only repeat the instructions given by their superiors before takeoff:
When you see the triangular sign made up of campfires on the ground, keep flying along the arrow!

In the original time and space, the two sides did not have much cooperation in supporting the bombing formation. The crew members only learned one sentence:
The people in my bedroom are American soldiers.

After the fleet returned in the dark, it was extremely difficult to find the landing site just by looking at the map in the dark without GPS and many guides.

But in this time and space, due to the close cooperation between Zoker and Zhang Anping, the communication between the two sides was extremely smooth. Zhang Anping also consulted a large number of pilots, so he ordered the Zhongjiu Army to prepare a large number of bonfire arrows for guiding the way in eastern Zhejiang, and prepared multiple emergency landing sites, using round bonfires with arrows to guide the forced landing.

It can be said that there were dozens of bombers in the sky, but there were more than 10,000 people serving them on the ground, and they were even prepared for armed rescue.

However, Japan was completely unprepared for this wave of double-formation air raids, so there was no forced landing.

At 11 o'clock late in the evening, with the last plane landing at Guangxin Airport, this air strike representing revenge came to a perfect end.

Among the aircraft participating in the war, except for one bomber that was forced to fly to the Soviet Union due to lack of fuel, all other aircraft landed at Chinese airports without any crash.

In the original time and space, there were a total of eighty crew members who participated in the Doolittle Raid, and 73 of them survived after the raid.

Among these 73 people, 61 survived the brutal World War II and lived until the end of the war.

At this time and space, except for one plane that flew to the Soviet Union and landed, all other planes returned safely.

Including the Soviet plane that made an emergency landing, no one was killed!
As they returned, the results of the battle were immediately sent to the United States via radio waves.

After receiving this unexpected victory, the eagerly awaited U.S. military fell into a frenzy. Later, radical American officers began to send radical suggestions to their superiors:

Keep all these planes in China and use them to continuously bomb Japan and weaken Japan's war potential! (End of this chapter)
