When the American bombers left in a swagger, the remaining Tokyo immediately became chaotic. Although the police tried very hard to confiscate all the leaflets dropped by the Americans, the rumors could not be suppressed. In a very short time

Inside, rumors have swept through Tokyo like a storm.

Under the setting sun, a little man quietly said to another man covered in dust:

"Saeki-kun, have you heard those rumors?"

"What rumors?"

"The Americans dropped leaflets saying they would firebomb Tokyo again the day after tomorrow!"

"Is it true? I just came back from the burned area and didn't know about this. Is it true?"

"Really! It's absolutely true! I picked up one while the police didn't come... Find a place where no one is around, and I'll show it to you." The little man looked around, and then the two of them walked in.

In an alley.

"Look!" Seeing that there was no one around, the little man took out a piece of paper folded several times from his clothes. Saeki quickly took it and read it carefully under the afterglow of the setting sun.

This is a leaflet printed on coated paper. The printing is very beautiful. The upper half of the leaflet prints a picture taken from the air of the last time Tokyo was attacked by fire. The lower half prints the message that the fire was extinguished the next morning.

Pictures of charred corpses that were burned into human shapes. Then the Americans wrote this program preview in blood-red text: "Two days later, we will attack Tokyo again with incendiary bombs from 10 to 11 o'clock in the morning.

, hereby give notice." Below is the date printed in small print.

Saeki's expression changed and he read the flyer over and over again. A few days ago, after the Allied forces launched the first fire attack, Saeki, as a municipal employee, entered the area burned by the fire after the fire was extinguished and performed the so-called

rescue plan. On the edge of the fire-affected area, he also saw many people with extensive burns, some

There was not even one or two pieces of good skin left on the person's body, and the wailing sounds made by those people made Saeki feel his anus tightening just thinking about it. And after entering the depths of the burned area, the sight he saw was even more frightening.

The streets are full of traces of the corpses of people who were burned to death. Most of the people who were burned to death can’t even find their ashes, only their ashes.

There are some charred marks left on the ground. Occasionally, there are one or two charred corpses that have not been completely burned, and they have become almost like charcoal. In the more central areas, there are no such traces.

Only occasionally do people find the remains of people who tried to jump into the wells to take refuge. These people hid in the wells.

They thought they could escape the disaster, but they were boiled alive by the boiling well water. When the rescuers took them out of the well, pieces of boiled meat were removed from their bodies.

It fell off directly. The aroma of broth suddenly filled the air. From then on, at least until now, Saeki became a vegetarian.

The charred corpses painted on the flyers reminded Saeki of that incident. He immediately felt a chill on the back of his neck. If only a few days earlier, the Americans had dropped such leaflets, Saeki would have read it.

Most of them would just laugh at how those devils actually wanted to scare the fearless Japanese people with just a piece of paper.

It was really ridiculous. However, the situation in the past two days made it impossible for him to laugh anymore. If the first air raid was because the enemy was too shameless and set fire secretly in the middle of the night, leaving the invincible imperial army unprepared for a moment,

Therefore, if they took advantage, the subsequent air battles would destroy the imperial army's "invincible" appearance.

Even his underwear was stripped off. Saeki had been watching yesterday's air battle. Although he once thought like everyone else that all the American planes were shot down, as a municipal employee, he had to constantly put out the downed planes.

The fire caused by the aircraft wreckage and the recovery of the most precious aluminum material on the aircraft also made him

Having the opportunity to take a closer look at the wreckage of the downed planes, he found that the wreckage he saw were all from Japanese fighter jets. And this morning, the American planes swaggering over Tokyo proved it even more

The imperial army's air defense force could not stop their actions at all.

"It seems that we really need to make preparations in advance. At least we need to send the child out of Tokyo first. Where to send it? Well, let Kayako take the child to the countryside to stay with her parents for a few days." Saeki said.

Think about it this way.

"Saeki-kun, where do you plan to let the child hide?" the little man continued to ask.

"Let Kayako take him to the countryside to hide for a while," Saeki replied.

"Well, that makes sense. I also plan to ask my mother-in-law to take Sadako to the countryside for a while," the little man said.

…

"This time we announced that we will attack Tokyo again in broad daylight in two days. I believe that the Japanese will probably gather all the fighter jets they can find. Moreover, we have scheduled the time for the air strike so that the enemy's fighter jets will have enough time to climb up.

Come on. Ron, are your team really sure that they can eat up such a big cake?"

"General, the third airport is ready for use. I have 900 usable fighter jets on hand, and 400 of them are high-end fighter jets like P-81. Of course the Japanese can produce more fighter jets

, but I think the maximum is 2,000 aircraft at most? Considering that the combat airspace is beneficial to us, and considering the advantages of pilot training and aircraft performance, we should

We should still have the upper hand." Ron said, "In addition, hasn't the Navy's fleet left yet? I mentioned this matter to General Spruance, and he didn't want to bully Japan when the fleet was about to leave.

I am very interested in the matter of human beings. Therefore, when the time comes, we will still have 1,000 navy fighter jets to help. In this way, we will have an advantage even in terms of quantity."

"Well, that should be no problem." Li Mei said, "In fact, participating in this air battle will benefit them a lot. Not only can they improve their record, but they can also take this opportunity to advance those guys who may become 'Kamikaze' in the future.

Eliminate it. The navy has taken too great advantage."

"However, although I can handle it with the fighter jets in my hand alone, if I fight more with less, I will definitely have to pay a higher price. Moreover, the results will definitely be less. Therefore, I will give you some points of victory.

If they can reduce our losses, it's still a good deal." Ron explained with a smile.

"Hahaha!" Li Mei also laughed expressionlessly.

…

Early the next morning, the sun had just risen, and the three airports on Iwo Jima were already bustling with activity. Countless fighter jets were lined up in neat formations at the airport, and were taking off one after another.

The fighter jets that had completed takeoff were hovering and climbing over the airport. After climbing to a certain altitude, they turned northwest and flew toward Japan.

At the same time, closer to Japan, a huge fleet was turning towards the wind and speeding on the sea. Fighters with unique seagull-shaped wings were taking off from the aircraft carrier hill one after another.

Then it turned on its full power and climbed to high altitude.

On a battleship in the fleet, General Spruance was standing on the bridge, watching the taking-off fighter planes. He knew that after the First World War in the Philippines, the Japanese fleet no longer existed as a strategic force.

.So when it was his turn to command this fleet, there were not many results to gain. At least there were no Japanese warships for him to command.

He sent his fleet to destroy them. Now, except for Japanese planes, there was nothing left to fight. Not long ago, he led his fleet in circles along the coast of Japan, constantly bombing Japanese airports, just to kill as many Japanese planes as possible.

Unfortunately, the Japanese are also very slippery and are not very interested in air combat with U.S. Navy fighter jets. It is not easy to catch them.

But this time, things may have changed. With the Army Air Force announcing the time of the air strike so arrogantly, Japan would have to send a large number of aircraft to intercept it no matter what. This was a good opportunity to achieve results.

…

The Army Aviation fighter group had climbed to an altitude of 7,500 meters. At this time, the fighter jet flying at the front of the group discovered the Navy fighter group flying a little further ahead. The Navy fighter jets had not yet climbed to the same level as the Army Aviation fighter group.

altitude, their current altitude is about 6000

meters. As a naval fighter, the F4U's requirements for high-altitude performance are not as prominent as those of the Army Aviation. Therefore, when it goes to high altitudes, its performance drops more than those of the Army Aviation's P-81 and P-51. But relatively

Compared with most Japanese aircraft, the high-altitude performance of the F4U is pretty good.

The P-81s and P-51s of the Army Aviation flew past the naval fighters that continued to climb and continued to fly forward. At this time, the coastline of Japan also appeared in their field of vision.

…

Tetsuzo Iwamoto is already one of the few true aces among the remaining pilots of the Japanese Navy. Now he has retired from the front line. Japan feels the shortage of pilot instructors, so it has begun to turn the few remaining aces into flight instructors. Iwamoto

Tetsuzo's current task is to train young pilots to perform the mission of ramming enemy bombers. Compared with ramming warships, this is more difficult, and most of the trainees

They haven't been able to complete this kind of training yet. But time waits for no one. Before the students have completed their training, the Americans have already come to the door, so these students who have not been able to complete their training must also go to the battlefield. Iwamoto Tetsuzo looks at it

He watched the little guys who were only fifteen or sixteen years old with white cloth strips tied around their heads get into the cockpit of the fighter jet, then awkwardly waved to him, and then began to taxi to take off. He couldn't help but shed tears.
