That trigonometric function problem was finally proved.
That night, the father and son stayed up in the study until midnight, when an idea suddenly struck them and they suddenly became enlightened.
"woo woo woo woo!"
Just when Zhou Hexuan was telling his son to go to bed quickly, an air-raid siren suddenly sounded in the direction of the main city. Needless to say, it must have been a sneak attack by Japanese planes in the middle of the night. Everyone in Zhou's mansion hurriedly got up and ran towards the basement while dressing.
Not long after, explosions were heard from the north and east. Japanese bombers had broken through the interception and dropped bombs in the main city.
It wasn't until the next afternoon when Zhou Hexuan read the evening news that he learned that the Japanese invaders dispatched 24 bombers last night, 6 of which bombed Guangyangba Airport, and the remaining 18 bombed the city, dropping more than 30 bombs and more than 10 incendiary bombs.
The explosion killed more than 40 citizens, seriously injured more than 70 people, and destroyed nearly 500 houses.
At the same time, the Japanese invaders also dispatched 32 fighter jets to escort them, and they engaged in fierce battles with the Chinese Air Force over the area from Linjiangmen to Guangyangba.
7 Japanese planes were shot down, 12 people were killed and 1 was captured; the Chinese lost 6 planes, 4 people were killed and 1 was seriously injured.
Judging from the ratio of battle losses between the two sides, it seems that the Chinese Air Force won. However, Linjiangmen Street was burned to rubble, Confucius Pond and other places were also bombed, tens of thousands of citizens were left homeless, and the economic losses were incalculable.
The air raids seemed endless. Just one day later, Japanese planes raided again in the middle of the night, leaving Chongqing citizens unable to sleep peacefully.
This time it was another small victory for the Chinese Air Force, but Shui Alley, Yaojia Alley, Chaotianmen and other places were bombed, and thousands of citizens were displaced. The most serious thing was that Chaotianmen Pier was bombed into a mess, seriously affecting water transportation, at least
It will take a week to repair the dock.
Chaotianmen Pier has not been completely repaired, and Japanese planes have arrived again.
A bomb fell near Yunxiu Tower and almost destroyed Chang Kaishen's mansion. Chiang Kai-shek was furious and ordered Zhou Zhirou and Feng Yong to quickly complete the reorganization of the air force, and then took the initiative to destroy the Japanese invaders' Wuhan Airport.
From the end of May to mid-July, the Chinese and Japanese air forces repeatedly exchanged fire in Chongqing, with bloody battles occurring every now and then.
In less than two months, a total of 47 Japanese aircraft were shot down, but only 38 fighter jets were left in Chongqing. Nearly half of the fighter jets brought back by Feng Yong were lost, and 22 pilots who returned from the United States died.
Among them, 17 domestic pilots died and 4 Soviet pilots died.
The reorganization of the Air Force was carried out at Chengdu Shuangguisi Airport (the predecessor of Shuangliu Airport), and all bombers were transported there. The bombers purchased by Zhou Hexuan, the bombers newly supported by the Soviet Union, and the few remaining bombers in China, Zhou Zhirou had already organized
A full bombing squadron, captained by Soviet pilot Major Kurishenko.
Kurishenko is urgently training bombing personnel and preparing for a big game in August or September. After all, it is not a problem to be passively bombed all the time.
Perhaps the hard nut of Chongqing was too hard to crack, and the Japanese invaders felt heartache after losing aircraft one after another. In late July, the Japanese aircraft began to change their bombing strategy, and frequently bombed Fuling, Changshou, Wushan and other surrounding districts and counties in Chongqing, leaving Guangyangba
It is difficult for the Chinese Air Force at the airport to provide timely rescue. Whenever an air raid report is received and the Chongqing Air Force rushes to the scene, the Japanese aircraft have already left.
At the end of July, the Japanese invaders received news of the reorganization of the Chinese Air Force and suddenly launched an air attack on Chengdu Shuangguisi Airport in the middle of the night. Due to the dark lights, the damage to the airport was not serious, but three Chinese fighter jets stationed at the airport were shot down, while only one Japanese plane crashed.
.
Zhou Zhirou was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat and quickly transferred fighter jets from various places to strengthen the air defense force of Shuangguisi Airport. 10 fighter jets were transferred to Chongqing at one time, and the number of aircraft was once again stretched. By August, it was difficult to cope with the Japanese attack.
Kou's raid.
In fact, the Japanese invaders were able to persist despite the direct losses caused by the bombing of Chongqing, but it was the series of consequences that caused tens of thousands of people to become homeless at every turn that really troubled state officials.
After all, Chongqing is a companion capital, and the government must provide relief to refugees. The large-scale relief provided every three days makes it difficult for the government's finances to support it.
The factories in Chongqing were the main targets of bombing, but everyone was working hard and enduring it.
Take the Yuxin Iron and Steel Plant as an example. This factory not only provides steel products, but also manufactures its own machines. It is one of the engines of China's wartime industry. From February 1938 to December 1944, the Yuxin Iron and Steel Plant was bombed.
For seven years, every house in the factory, including the workshop and employee dormitories, was bombed. From May 1940 to August 1942 alone, Yuxin Iron and Steel Plant paid as much as 300,000 yuan in pensions and relief to its employees.
Yuan.
Even so, Yuxin Steel Plant still maintained huge profits and continued to expand its production scale. Until the end of 1942, when prices soared and the French currency depreciated violently, the prosperous Yuxin Steel Plant actually began to lose money. It struggled to maintain its operations until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and then declared bankruptcy.
For China's wartime private enterprises, they were not afraid of Japanese bombings or the erosion of bureaucratic capital. What they were most afraid of was the plummeting currency value.
The plummeting value of the currency has made everyone feel insecure. In the past, payments could be recorded in accounts, but gradually they only accepted cash. The production cycle of large machinery produced by Yuxin Iron and Steel Plant often lasted several months. In the past, 50,000 yuan of working capital could maintain operation.
, in 1943, there was a sudden need for working capital of 5 million.
How do you let the factory owner play?
The factories opened by Zhou Hexuan in Sichuan are now maintaining a profit growth of more than 10% every month, making money faster than robbing money. But this situation will last until the end of 1942 at most, and then there will be no solution. The factory profits can't cover it.
Fiat currency depreciates.
Let's continue...
On July 9, Wang Zhaoming publicly declared cooperation with Japan. On July 14, the Kuomintang Central Standing Committee resolved to permanently expel Chu Minyi, Zhou Fohai, and Chen Bijun from the party. These were die-hard traitors who followed Wang Zhaoming.
At the same time, due to the rise of the anti-Japanese movement among the British people, relevant British interest groups jointly imposed trade sanctions on Japan. Japan directed the puppet governments in Peking and Nanjing to carry out anti-British movements, and Japanese overseas Chinese in Nanjing also held an anti-British demonstration.
Under Japan's diplomatic pressure, the British government quickly made a compromise and signed the "Arita Clechi Agreement" on July 24. The United Kingdom promised not to take necessary actions against Japan's measures in China. The signing of this agreement was quite significant.
The British public recognition of the "actual situation in China" caused by Japan is an important part of the "Munich of the East" conspiracy.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned this, and the British government immediately made remedial measures and was willing to lend China 3 million pounds. At the same time, the British Foreign Office issued a statement: The British government will not change its China policy because of the Tokyo talks. This statement makes Japan attempt to isolate China.
Diplomatic plans fell through.
On August 1, the Nanjing Massacre documentary was released across Sichuan, with all subtitles in the film reprinted into Chinese, and "My Motherland" sung by Zhou Xuan as the ending theme.
