Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

The military officer who carried out this mission is Major General William Halsey of the United States.

According to Jiang Haoran's wishes, Chen Shaokuan, Commander-in-Chief of the National Revolutionary Army Navy, Yang Honglie, Commander of the No. 40 First Army Navy Independent Division, and a group of staff generals and student soldiers formed a huge observation group to board the ship.

Most of the officers and soldiers on the ship are student soldiers studying in England and America, and even half of the air force that carried out the bombing plan are Chinese student aviation soldiers. Jiang Haoran values ​​this opportunity of actual combat training too much. After this battle, they will become Chinese students. The backbone of the navy.

This bombing plan seemed unbelievable to Stilwell and the senior officials of the Mi Army. The twin-engine bombers of the U.S. Army Air Forces could not fly to the mainland of the island country due to the limitation of flight distance, while the carrier-based bombers of the Navy were all single-engine bombers. The engine, the combat radius is small, and the aircraft carrier of the Mi Army cannot swim to the coastal waters of the island country without command of the sea, otherwise it is purely courting death, and the bombers and fighter jets on the mainland of the island country will immediately flock to them, and they have nowhere to hide.

But Jiang Haoran came up with a set of practical plans, which they immediately accepted, and without any hesitation, they swiftly and resolutely put them into action.

Jiang Haoran suggested that the B-25 long-range bomber of the Army Aviation be modified in a targeted manner, adding auxiliary fuel tanks, doubling the fuel capacity, and dismantling unnecessary equipment on the aircraft to reduce the weight of the aircraft. At the same time, the operating procedures on the aircraft carrier Corresponding changes are also made so that the b-25 long-range bomber can take off on an aircraft carrier.

Then, the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier was replaced with the b-25 long-range bomber as the type of aircraft for this bombing mission, and the range problem was solved.

In view of the huge size of the Army Aviation aircraft, each aircraft carrier carries twelve B-25s, and the remaining space can carry ten F6F Hellcat fighter jets to escort the fleet, but this is definitely not the foundation of safety.

After the bombers take off on the aircraft carrier, the mission of the two aircraft carriers will be considered complete, and they will immediately evacuate from the dangerous place. When the island army reacts, they will already be out of range of the island army's local aircraft, and their aircraft carrier fleet will be able to fly within the range of the aircraft carrier. Escape from Midway Island is beyond our reach.

As for the 24 B-25 bombers performing the mission, after the airdrop, they immediately flew towards the East China Sea and landed at Wenzhou Airport controlled by the No. 40 Group Army. , escort them.

It can be said that this plan is perfect, all aspects have been considered, and the operation process is not complicated, and the feasibility is extremely high. Therefore, the top management of the United States fully accepted Jiang Haoran's plan without any hesitation.

In fact, the core of this plan was created by the Americans themselves, and Jiang Haoran just used the "bringing doctrine" again.Historically, the United States bombed Tokyo with this plan shortly after Pearl Harbor was attacked, but because the Pearl Harbor battle in reality wiped out the entire Pacific Fleet of the Mi Army, Americans never thought about it.

However, the plans of the American people are far less comprehensive than Jiang Haoran's, nor are the conditions as good as Jiang Haoran's now, and the effect is definitely not the same.

In terms of timing, the combined fleet of the island army is concentrating superior forces to attack Midway Island, and a part of them will be allocated to rescue the nearly 15 remnants of the No.16 Army and No.[-] Army trapped in the Shan State Plateau. It is conceivable that the defense is naturally lax. The most important thing is that the island army never thought that the Mi army would have the ability to attack Tokyo.

In terms of attack strength, historically, 24 bombers bombed Tokyo, but this has increased to [-], completely sacrificing the number of escort fighter jets to ensure the attack strength. Of course, Jiang Haoran also has absolute certainty in terms of security. It was also considered from the fact that the island army had no time to spare in the battle of Midway Island.

There is another important point that cannot be ignored. The aerial bombs used in history were ordinary high-explosive bombs, but here, they are all [-]-pound napalm bombs, and the effect is unknown how many times stronger than ordinary high-explosive bombs.

In short, this time, no matter what, the little devils will suffer.

In the early hours of the morning, the sky was slightly bright, and the two aircraft carriers successfully entered the distance of [-] nautical miles from the island country. Commander William Halsey decisively issued an order to stop the advance, and all the bombers immediately took off, targeting Tokyo.

For a while, all the xenon lights on the aircraft carrier were turned on, and the aviation and ground crews rushed onto the deck. As the first b-25 bomber took off smoothly, the remaining 23 bombers flew into the sky one by one, heading straight for Tokyo.

After the last plane flew off the deck, the two aircraft carriers returned to the Midway Island aircraft carrier base immediately.

At this time, Tokyo is still peaceful. Although the naval battle of Midway Island has been over for a long time, the bad news that the main force of the United Fleet was wiped out should have reached Tokyo long ago, but in order to stabilize the hearts of the people, the high-level officials of the island army still maintain a strong attitude towards the locust army. Confidence and fanatical support for aggressive wars, they blocked the news.

At this time, the radio stations and newspapers in the island country are still promoting the mighty locust army, and they are advancing all the way, while the ignorant people are still immersed in the dream of "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity" woven by the island army's high-level officials, from the top of the island country to the people. , did not expect that a disaster was about to land on their heads.

At about [-] o'clock in the morning, more than [-] twin-engine planes suddenly appeared in the sky above Tokyo. The citizens of Tokyo thought that the locust army had launched some new type of plane and was performing an air show, so they all raised their heads and counted the planes with great interest. It is discussed that the locust army will expand its territory again. This time, it is not known whether the indigenous people in Southeast Asia or the people on the Chinese battlefield will accept the baptism of the locust army warriors again.

It wasn't until the plane flew lower and lower that people on the ground could clearly see the Stars and Stripes on the wings that someone exclaimed, "Baga, the plane of the Americans is the plane of the Americans!"

Everyone panicked immediately, screaming that the US planes were coming to bomb, and scattered around like birds and beasts to find a place of refuge, but it was too late.

The 24 B-25 bombers immediately started dropping bombs after reaching the optimal height, and all the selected targets were densely populated areas with concentrated buildings in Tokyo.

After the ear-piercing scream sounded, there was a violent explosion immediately, and the entire center of Tokyo was instantly surrounded by a sea of ​​flames.

24 bombers, each bomber carried four 96-pound napalm bombs, a total of 1000 bombs. After the napalm bomb exploded, it formed a layer of flames that sputtered around, emitting a high temperature above 96°C, and could stick to other bombs. The characteristics of burning objects for a long time, and the bombing of [-] napalm bombs all the way, it is not difficult to imagine how the destruction of Tokyo, which is a small place, will look like.
