Facing the reappearance of the U.S. aircraft fleet, the Japanese were in a dilemma. First of all, they could not determine the type of the incoming U.S. aircraft. If another fighter came and the Japanese sent out planes to intercept them again like last time, they would only

I'm afraid that the result will be even more tragic than the previous battle. In the previous battle, the pilots who performed the combat mission were relatively "experienced" pilots, but now, it is obviously difficult to let these pilots who have just experienced a high-intensity air battle

pilot again

They are already too tired to engage in air combat. But if you send inexperienced guys who have an average flight time of only more than ten hours and may fall down by themselves even if they make a circling movement, in addition to giving

Apart from delivering victory, what purpose does the Americans have? Even if the incoming bomber group is a real group of bombers, those rookies will definitely not be able to achieve the best climbing speed. Can they climb to the height where the enemy planes are?

Well, it's really hard to say.

And even if these rookies can climb to this height, whether they can effectively attack enemy bombers is still a problem. At the level of these rookies, they can rely on cannons or machine guns to fight against aerial giants like the B-29 bomber.

, they are simply seeking death. Therefore, if they want to effectively fight against the enemy's bomber force, they can only rely on kamikaze-style strikes.

However, considering that even when these rookies hit warships with larger targets and much slower speeds, their hit rate has never exceeded one-third. Now they have to hit targets that are smaller in size but more than ten times faster.

, how high can the hit rate of impact be? To launch a kamikaze attack on a warship, these rookies can still barely use their skills. To launch a kamikaze attack on a bomber, it is not that difficult for these rookies, whose average age is a little more than 15 years old and whose average flight is

It takes a little more than ten hours for a rookie to overcome.

Therefore, from a practical point of view, sending a new interceptor fleet will not actually have much effect, but may bring unnecessary losses. Therefore, giving up this interception is probably the best choice. However, in the face of the door-to-door attack,

The enemy dare not launch an attack. Such depravity will definitely seriously dampen morale. For Japan now, morale is the most precious. Because apart from morale, Japan has nothing.

So Japan once again sent out a group of interceptor aircraft. However, learning from the lessons learned last time, the Japanese waited until the taking-off aircraft groups had all converged under radio guidance before guiding them to intercept the American aircraft group. Although if the incoming bombers were bombers, then

The interceptor group will almost certainly not be able to effectively intercept. In fact, I am afraid that the commander does not expect these rookies to complete the interception. All he needs is the fact that "we are continuing to fight."

What arrived this time was not a fake bomber. Ron currently only had more than 600 fighter jets in his hands, and they had all been sent out in the first round of operations. Now these planes are on their way back, and of course they are unlikely to appear again immediately.

Over Japan, what are currently flying towards Tokyo are indeed 300 B-29 heavy bombers of the 21st Air Force.

As expected, when the bomber group arrived over Tokyo, the Japanese fighter group that came to intercept was almost a kilometer higher than the bombers. Such a height difference almost meant that the American bombers had complete freedom of action.

.

The bomber group flew all the way over Tokyo, then opened their bomb bays and began to drop bombs. This time the Americans dropped high-explosive bombs. When the air defense siren sounded again, some Tokyoites hurriedly ran into the air raid shelters, and some people remembered yesterday

Late fire, think of the fire extinguished

Those corpses found in the air-raid shelter later did not even dare to enter the air-raid shelter, but only dared to run along the street. Some were stupid and bold, and simply raised their heads and looked up at the sky, wanting to see how Japanese fighter jets would intercept American bombers. Then,

The bomb dropped right over their heads.

A burst of bombs blew up the Japanese who were still on the ground and who happened to be within the bombing range. Then when some Japanese who were lucky enough not to be killed ran out of their hiding places, they discovered that countless

The pieces of paper were falling down like snowflakes.

These falling pieces of paper are leaflets dropped by the US military. Throwing leaflets at the enemy and launching propaganda and psychological warfare is not a new thing, and the US military is not the first to drop leaflets against Japan. As early as 1938, the KMT Air Force dispatched two Martins

—139wc bomber in Nagasaki, Fukuoka, Japan

Kyushu has dropped some leaflets. Some of these leaflets are sincere and some are righteous. But in terms of effect, well, it has a good effect in improving the fighting spirit of the Japanese people, but it has almost no effect at all in terms of damaging Japan's morale.

Yes. Because rhetoric without the support of force cannot scare anyone.

Compared with the thousand-word "Letter to the Japanese People" and the like on the leaflets dropped by China, the text on the American leaflets is much simpler. However, the paper quality and printing are far superior to those of the Chinese leaflets.

For example, now, Kameda has escaped from death

I picked up such a leaflet conveniently. This leaflet was printed on coated paper, with a string of falling bombs and drifting cherry blossoms printed on it. Next to it were two Japanese haiku, which read: "The bombs fell."

If it rains heavily, the empire will fall like falling flowers."

Looking at this beautifully printed leaflet, Kameda trembled all over. The enemy had already demonstrated its destructive power in front of them. Not to mention the bombings yesterday and today, but just this leaflet and such good paper,

Such good printing far exceeds any Japanese book I have ever seen. Doesn’t this fully prove the enemy’s overwhelming material power relative to Japan?

Just when Kameda was getting excited, a hand reached out and snatched the leaflet from his hand.

"You red deer, what are you looking at!" The man who snatched Kameda's flyer shouted at Kameda. After Kameda calmed down, he recognized that this man was his neighbor Hirota who was a policeman.

Hirota glared at Kameda, and then whispered: "Keda-kun, you can't read this kind of thing in public, you will be in trouble."

Of course Kameda understood that Hirota was doing it for his own good and hurriedly bowed to him to express his gratitude.

On the other side, a soldier standing next to a small-caliber anti-aircraft gun picked up a leaflet at night. He glanced at it, and then burst into tears. A veteran took the leaflet from his hand and took a look.

A flyer depicts a large torii gate that is burning, and next to it is the following sentence: "The Yasukuni Shrine no longer exists, where will your souls go in the future?"

…

"Ron, your results today are good." Li Mei was sitting in Ron's command center, looking at the group of fighter jets landing on the runway, and said to Ron.

"That's right. We shot down more than 300 enemy planes, and our own losses were only twenty. Among the twenty planes lost, nine flew to the open sea and made an emergency landing on the open sea. The navy was able to rescue one of them.

Partially. But this is nothing compared to your victory last night." Ron said.

"No, I don't see it that way. Ron, your battle today has broken the backbone of Japan's air defense. It has far-reaching significance. I don't think it will take long for our bombers to go to Japan and burn houses in broad daylight."

"Li Mei obviously did not agree with Ron's statement that it was "not worth mentioning."

"Going to burn down other people's houses in broad daylight? Are you going to change the current way of attacking at night?" Ron was quite surprised.

"Of course, do you think I am born to carry bombers without self-defense weapons for bombing? If there are no enemy fighter planes during the day, why not do it during the day? During the day, Japanese workers are working in those workshops, and it happens to be

Burn the fire. Moreover, it will be more brazen and blatant during the day, which will have a greater impact on the morale of the Japanese."

"Well, that makes sense. Speaking of demoralizing the Japanese, those leaflets you printed are really good. Those who designed these leaflets should get medals," Ron said.

"I've never paid much attention to the affairs of the propaganda department. I heard that it seemed that some Japanese Americans and Japanese experts worked together to create it," Li Mei said.

"Don't underestimate propaganda," Ron said. "The Japanese only have morale now. If you destroy their morale, you will defeat them." After finishing speaking, he remembered something and added: "Well.

, your leaflets reminded me, otherwise, before every air raid on a certain target in the future, we will send planes there one day in advance to drop warning leaflets. Do you think what effect this will have? "

"Do this?" Li Mei thought for a while, and her eyes began to shine, "Well, as long as we can light fires in several cities honestly and trustworthy, in the future, as long as we issue a warning, everyone in the city will run away

They're all gone. In this way, the damage to production will be even greater than the incendiary bombs. After all, we can't really burn down a city with one bombing. But such threats can really turn a city into a ghost town.

.You guys really look like a knight of the apocalypse!"

"Hey, we have to wait until more fighter jets are available." Ron complained. In his opinion, the current more than 600 fighter jets are not enough. At least there need to be about a thousand fighter jets.

That's how useful it is.

"Don't worry, the United States has no shortage of fighter jets. But the key factor that limits the number of fighter jets you have is the number of airports?" Li Mei said.

This is true. There are more than 600 fighter jets piled up in the two airports. This density is already very high. Simply stacking more planes will only reduce the dispatch efficiency of those planes, and will not make the real
