Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

April 4th is a special day. Xu Le arrived at Yuncheng Airport last night.

At 6:50 in the morning, Xu Le stood in front of a group of neatly lined up pilots.

"Everyone, you will board the bomber later and complete the first bombing of another country in the history of our Tang Dynasty. This bombing will be recorded in the history books, and your achievements will be admired by future generations!

The bombing location this time is Tokyo. There is no specific target. Whatever big thing we see will be bombed!

At noon, I will be waiting here for your triumphant return. All of you will be promoted to a higher rank and officially become pilots of my 88th Army!"

There were 72 soldiers in the queue, 12 of whom were main pilots, 12 were co-pilots, and the remaining 48 were navigators, communicators, bombers, and shooters.

They were the ones who carried out the first wave of bombing, and they all had a spirit of being ready to die.

"Before you leave the territorial waters of the Tang Dynasty, fighter jets will escort you. When you come back, they will also greet you in the territorial waters and escort you.

Well, time is running out, so I won't waste any more words. I wish you success!"

Then, Xu Tian shouted: "Everyone, let's go!"

Hua Hua Hua....

The group was divided into 12 teams and headed towards their respective H-6 bombers.

This was the first deployment of the H-6. Each bomber carried 6000 kg of aerial bombs and two external fuel tanks. The external rockets for self-defense were cancelled and the J-5 squadron was used for escort instead.

At the same time, at the Taiyuan Army Airport, which was presided over by Jiang Feng, there were also 12 H-6 bombers and 72 combat personnel.

At 8 o'clock sharp, 24 H-6 fighters from the two places took off one after another, followed by two squadrons of J-5 fighter jets. The four squadrons met at high altitude in Shandong Province and headed towards Tokyo, Japan together.

Because it was flying at a high altitude, people on the ground had no idea that a group of planes were flying overhead.

The reason why Xu Le chose this time point was because he remembered that in his previous life, the bombing of Japan by the United States was also this morning. According to the time, the H-6 Squadron will arrive over Tokyo 40 minutes earlier than the bombing squadron of the United States.

As for bombing, we can’t lag behind the Americans. If we are going to bomb, we have to be the first.

......

9:40, Tokyo, Japan.

The 6st H- Squadron arrived over Tokyo, with Wang Yuqi as its commander.

"Brothers, I have avenged you today. All the comrades who died in the air battle with the Japanese, you can rest in peace now!"

Wang Yuqi looked at the clouds below and spoke softly. Although his voice was small, it was full of anger and relief.

At this time, the navigator's voice came: "We have reached Tokyo airspace, the altitude is 8000 meters, and we can start bombing!"

The H-6 is equipped with a radio compass, radio altimeter, and bombing radar, and can carry out bombing accurately even at an altitude of 8000 meters.

Wang Yuji hesitated for a moment and said, "Each aircraft should lower their altitude to 5000 meters and search for large targets. Don't waste bombs!"

"6002 received!"

"6003 received!"

"6004 received!"

.,...

In order to make the bombing more accurate, the Second Bombardment-6 Squadron that followed also lowered its altitude.

A moment later, while the civilians of Tokyo were working, relaxing and having fun as usual, the air raid sirens sounded.

Everyone looked up at the sky, confused, because Tokyo had never been bombed before, and thought it was just another drill.

It was not until bombs appeared in their sight that they realized this was not a drill but a real bombing.

boom....

boom.....

boom.....

Dense bombs exploded on the streets, sometimes large buildings were blown down, sometimes a group of people were blown away. The scene was like hell on earth.

Inside the Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, let's hide in the basement!"

Emperor Showa looked at the fly-sized bombers looming in the sky, sighed helplessly, and followed the guide into the underground air-raid shelter.

"Damn Eagle Country, quickly send fighter jets to intercept! Where are the air defense forces, shoot him down for me!"

The bombing came quickly and went away quickly. In just 3 minutes, the 24 bombers had dropped all their bombs and returned.

The Japanese fighter planes were not given any chance to intercept them, but the Japs were unwilling to let the bombers go, so dozens of fighter planes chased them. However, the more they chased, the less they could see the bombers, until finally all they could see was the endless sky.

"Report, tracking target failed, do you want to continue tracking?"

"Mission abandoned, everyone return home!"

The Japanese fighter planes could only turn back in shame.

However, half an hour later, another group of bombers arrived over Tokyo. These were 16 B-25 bombers that took off from the USS Hornet aircraft carrier in the Western Pacific.

They came with the mission of revenge for the United States, to make Japan pay the price for its attack on Pearl Harbor, but when they arrived over Tokyo and saw chaos on the ground and fires everywhere, they were stunned.

A B25 bomber pilot asked, "What's going on? It looks like it has just been bombed. Could it be that another army has just arrived? Lieutenant Colonel, what should we do?"

James Doolittle was the leader of the 16 bombers this time, and his mind was full of question marks at the moment.

You must know that the Japanese army is under alert within a 500-nautical-mile radius of Japan. If you want to launch an air strike on Japan, the combat radius of the bomber is very demanding. Even for the United States, it paid a huge price and planned for a long time to carry out this bombing.

But the scene we see now, although unbelievable, has to be confirmed that someone did bomb Japan, and it was just shortly before we arrived.

After hesitating for a long time, Doolittle turned on the radio and said, "We have been planning for this air raid for a long time. Since someone helped us bomb once, let's bomb again! Each plane will find its own target, mainly the targets that have not been bombed, and then return to the Tang Dynasty. After that, we will leave it to fate!"

That’s right, they took off from an aircraft carrier, but the aircraft carrier could not allow them to land, so they could only go into the territory of the Tang Dynasty after the bombing.

The coastal areas of the Tang Dynasty had fallen into the hands of the Japanese. Their fuel might not be enough to support them to fly over the occupied areas, so it depended on luck where they could land.

Whether they fall into the hands of the devils or successfully land in the area controlled by the Tang army depends on fate.

Moreover, even if they reached the area controlled by the Tang Dynasty army, it was not easy for such a large bomber to stop there, and the challenges they faced were enormous.

On the ground, when the Japanese were suffering from the pain brought by hundreds of bombs dropped by H-6 bombers, the air defense alarm sounded again.

The Japanese people who were not affected looked up again and immediately became numb.

Didn’t you just leave? Why are you back again? What are you doing?

Can't we just drop all the bombs at once?

You're so jumpy. You can't play with people like this!

At the Japanese fighter base that had just landed, the pilot received an order to take off and intercept just a moment after getting off the plane.

The crowd cursed and took off again in an emergency. Just like the last time, when they reached the target area, the bomber had disappeared.

However, this time the Japanese ground air defense forces saw the bomber clearly through binoculars and confirmed that it was the United States.

So they classified the two waves of bombing together, believing that they were both caused by the Eagle Sauce.

Upon learning of this, Japanese Navy Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto was furious and determined to make the Eagle-Sauce Navy pay the price.

To this end, he made some changes to subsequent plans and strengthened the fleet's equipment.

It was because of this change that a major turning point occurred in the Battle of Midway shortly afterwards.
