Waves of shrill sirens rang over the entire Tokyo. As the sirens sounded, the whole of Tokyo became commotion.
Emperor Hirohito, who had dressed under the waiter of Empress Ryoko and was about to hold an imperial meeting, was stunned when he heard the sirens coming from the sky. He turned around and asked in surprise: "Ryoko, what happened today?"
Why? Why did the palace sound the alarm? What on earth do those guards in the palace do?"
Empress Ryoko behind Hirohito was also confused. Although Japan is a place prone to earthquakes, it is commonplace to sound the alarm in daily life. But the palace is different. The emperor lives in the palace. Who will be fine?
Sound the alarm in the palace. If one day the Emperor and the Empress come to a critical juncture while trying to create the next generation, and you scare the Emperor by sounding the alarm, and then you shrink a certain part, it will be a big problem.
No one can afford this responsibility, so the alarm in the palace cannot be set off casually.
But today, an alarm sounded in the palace, but the emperor, who had not heard an alarm for a long time, did not react for a moment.
At this moment, the captain of the palace guards, Major General Anan Weiji, suddenly rushed over with several guards and dragged Hirohito out without saying a word.
Hirohito, who didn't react for a moment, became angry and scolded loudly: "What are you going to do? Anan Weiji, do you want to rebel?"
Anand said while protecting Hirohito and running towards the basement air-raid shelter: "Your Majesty, please calm down, the China Air Force is here, and they are now conducting air raids on Tokyo. It would be better for you and I to hide in the basement!"
"Nani?" Hirohito was immediately stunned. In his impression, the empire's homeland had always been impregnable, and the air forces of other countries could not enter the empire's airspace at all!
The Tokyo New Military Airport is the largest airport in Japan's active areas. Stationed here is the First Brigade of Japan's 1st Flying Division. This brigade is not only the first flying brigade established in Japan, but also one of Japan's most elite flying units.
1. All the latest aircraft produced by Japan will be given priority to equip this force.
Today, the shrill sirens also sounded at this airport. The Duxin Military Airport was full of people. Countless people were running desperately towards the runway. Among these people, there were people wearing blue
There are uniformed ground staff and pilots wearing orange flight suits.
At this time, an angry voice sounded from the loudspeaker erected next to the runway: "Fellow warriors of the empire, I am your commander Umekawa Nagano! Today. Just today, the majesty of the empire has been seriously challenged.
.Just now, hundreds of planes from China arrived in the sky above Tokyo and carried out bloody and cruel bombings on the eastward movement. The empire's thousands of years of dignity has been insulted, and the emperor's safety has been threatened! You know
Is the situation serious? If the China Air Force is allowed to drop a bomb into the Royal Palace, it will be a shame for us! A shame for the Imperial Air Force! I ask you to intercept the bomber force of the China Air Force at all costs. Everyone must pay tribute to China
The Air Force proves our existence! But I ask you to knock down the plane even if you run out of bullets! Never let the China Air Force threaten the safety of the Emperor!"
As the broadcast was transmitted, the people on the runway suddenly became excited, and many people showed angry expressions. Japan, which is known as the eternal lineage, was actually invaded by other countries' planes, and even bombed Tokyo.
For them, who are the proud ones of heaven, this is the greatest shame.
Many pilots arrived at their Zero fighter planes as fast as they could. They didn't have time to wait for the ground crew to set up ladders. They jumped on the wings one after another. Then they rushed into the cabin with just one step, and soon there were many fighter planes on the runway.
The propeller began to turn.
Five minutes later, fifty-eight Zero fighters rushed into the sky one after another. The anxious Japanese pilots had no time to form a formation and flew towards downtown Tokyo. All the pilots had only one thought in their minds at this moment, that is, no matter how much they paid,
The casualties must also complete the interception mission! At least they cannot be allowed to drop bombs on the palace!
At this time, in the sky over Tokyo, machine gunner Yue Xiaopeng was sitting in the belly spherical turret of the B-24 bomber. This position is also the position with the widest view in the entire B-24 bomber, and any B-24 bomber belly
Machine gunners are jokingly called the bravest air force soldiers. Because anyone who has stayed in this position knows that the spherical turret under the belly of the aircraft is the most terrifying place on the entire aircraft. People sitting here feel like they are being sat on.
It's like hanging in the air in a glass container. Anyone who is a little braver can be directly frightened by looking down at high altitude. As a machine gunner of a bomber, Yue Xiaopeng is enjoying the excitement of riding in the sky at this time. Sometimes
There's just a thin line between timidity and enjoyment.
At this time, Yue Xiaopeng suddenly noticed a group of black shadows flying below. He took a closer look. It turned out to be a group of monoplanes. He quickly shouted loudly, "Report, pay attention to the southeast... Pay attention to the enemy interceptor group found in the southeast...
…”
Huang Zikang, commander of the bombing formation, immediately ordered: "Japanese planes were discovered in the southeast. The escort formation immediately intercepted, and the escort formation immediately intercepted!"
At this moment, the aircraft group of the First Group that took off from the Duxin Military Airport also arrived below the aircraft group. When the Japanese pilots saw the group of bombers in the sky, almost everyone took a breath of cold air.
"Oh my God, what a big bomber!"
With a wingspan of 33.53 meters and a height of 5.46 meters, the B-24 bomber is as tall as a giant compared to the small and exquisite Zero. Almost anyone who sees this aircraft for the first time will be impressed by its huge size.
shocked.
Before the Japanese pilots could recover from their surprise, a group of war eagles painted in grass green fell from the sky and pounced on them.
"Da da da……"
The sound of machine guns rang out in the sky almost simultaneously. Under the fierce fire of dozens of machine guns, three Zero fighters that were caught off guard were immediately turned into fireballs.
"No, I was shot!"
"Skydive...Skydive quickly!"
"Baga Yalu, how can the Chinese fighter planes fly so far?"
The sky was filled with black smoke-belching fighter planes, rains of bullets intertwined with flames, and screams. The air battle became fierce from the beginning.
More than a hundred fighter planes chased each other in the air. A hail of bright bullets pierced the sky. Explosions of black smoke were heard everywhere in the sky. From time to time, a plane that was hit exploded in the air or plummeted. Life was lost.
It has become the cheapest thing at this moment.
Although the pilots of the Duxin First Group were angry, the gap between the Zero fighters and the P-51 Mustangs in their hands was indeed too great, so the results were very unsatisfactory. After ten minutes of fighting, the five pilots of the First Group
Nearly twenty of the eighteen Zero fighters were shot down.
Captain Umekawa Nagano of the First Battalion waved his hand in the cockpit and shouted loudly, "Baga, don't get entangled with their fighters, attack their bombers, attack their bombers!"
Due to tactical and technical reasons, the Japanese fighter planes at this time were not equipped with radios. During air combat, they could only rely on sign language, semaphore and aircraft movements for command. Almost two minutes had passed since Hirasawa Atsushi's order was conveyed.
Only some Japanese pilots received the order.
After Umekawa Nagano gave the order, he also flew the fighter plane to avoid the interception of a P-51 and rushed towards the bomber formation ahead. The Zero fighter nimbly rushed to the side of the fuselage of a bomber in the formation, fiercely
After pressing the button, the Zero fighter's two machine guns immediately spurted out flames, and almost all of the dozens of 7.7 mm caliber bullets hit the bomber's fuselage.
However, Umekawa Nagano was surprised to find that these bullets seemed to have no effect after hitting the opponent. The opponent's bomber was still flying smoothly. Umekawa Nagano, who was filled with anger, rolled the Zero backwards and arrived at
The bomber's tail was about to continue the attack, but only saw several bright lights flashing at the tail.
"not good!"
Hirasawa didn't have time to speak. He moved the joystick in his hand as if reflexively. The Zero fighter immediately flashed to the side, and several bright lights flew towards the fuselage.
At this time, Umekawa Nagano was surprised to find that several aircraft in the opponent's bomber formation had been hit by bombs, and some bombers were riddled with holes, but they were still flying forward tenaciously, and their aircraft
The tail, back and belly of the aircraft were still spraying flames. Several Zero fighters had been hit by this firepower and fell down with black smoke. The escort aircraft that had been thrown away also turned around.
God came and chased them.
Watching his own fighter planes falling one after another, Umekawa Nagano couldn't help but feel his heart twisting. In agitated mood, he pushed the control stick fiercely, and the fighter plane rushed towards the bomber closest to him, attacking with machine guns.
When it didn't work, he planned to use his own sacrifice in exchange for victory.
"Half a year as emperor!"
"boom……"
There was a loud noise and a flash of black smoke, and Umekawa Nagano's Zero fighter collided with a Liberator bomber in front. The collision was seen by all the surrounding pilots, but after the impact, let
Something shocking happened. The bomber that had half of its tail rudder knocked off was not destroyed, but continued to fly unsteadily. This scene shocked everyone present.
"Oh my god, has Amaterasu already given up on Japan?"
Seeing that the captain's sacrifice was not revealed, all the Japanese pilots became desperate...
