. "I can't believe that we really threw the bomb on the Japanese, and it was Tokyo!"

"And it's an extremely easy flight!"

"I wonder if the Emperor was so scared that he wet his pants, haha!"

"Of course, maybe the fire has spread to his palace!"

"The Japanese must be very annoyed. Oh, the faces of those generals must be very smelly!"

In the cabin of a Donier iii, the pilots were chatting happily. After throwing all the bombs over the emperor's head, the German bomber pilots were as relaxed as their landlines. Although they were still flying over Hokkaido, Japan, even when they were over Tokyo, the Japanese air defense forces did nothing, so it was even more impossible for dense air defense artillery fire to occur here.

Although the casualties were smaller than expected, the first bombing of the Luftwaffe Air Force did not destroy Japanese military targets as much as the psychological blow caused by the Japanese military and civilians. Hundreds of tons of high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs caused some losses to several cities such as Tokyo, Kawasaki, Yokohama, Osaka, etc., and the incendiary bombs and subsequent fires did burn tens of thousands of buildings. However, the biggest disadvantage of high-altitude bombing is that it cannot achieve real precise bombing, so that most of the most valuable military targets in these cities are safe and sound.

According to the second day of the Luftwaffe air reconnaissance report, Japan's largest arsenal, Tokyo Arsenal, was only attacked by several high-explosive aviation bombs. Among them, one of the Tokyo Arsenal was damaged and the other was damaged. The impact on production can be said to be insignificant, and the Osaka Arsenal only lost a few auxiliary buildings; the main shipyards located along the coast of Tokyo Bay - Tokyo Naval Shipyard, Kawasaki Kobe Shipyard, and Yokosuka Naval Shipyard were affected by the fire, but only a small number of production workshops were damaged, and the docks, docks and several ships under construction were basically unaffected. In addition, as an important military target in the Tokyo Bay area, Nakajima Aircraft Factory and Imperial University also escaped the initial robbery.

Japan's largest steel base, Hachiman Iron and Steel Station, is one of the main targets of the German Air Force's strategic bombing site and the defense focus of Japanese air defense forces. It actually has the same priority as Tokyo in terms of weapon equipment. When the war started, the Japanese army deployed more than 200 air defense guns of various caliber here.

He also launched violent shelling of the German bomber group flying over the sky, but the dense artillery fire provided good target instructions for the German aircraft group. Dozens of tons of high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs destroyed a small corner of the factory, but also made the Luftwaffe pay the price of two Dornier iii.

When flying away from the edge of Hokkaido, the huge fleet began to descend. It took about thirty to forty minutes to land from a height of 10,000 meters to the ground, and it took more than ten minutes to take off. Theoretically, this period was also the best time for Japanese fighter jets to attack German bombers. In fact, the Japanese not only did this, but also came up with a more vicious way.

"I found the enemy plane approaching quickly from behind!"

On a bomber located at the tail of the aircraft group, the radar crew first discovered the Japanese fighter jets that followed at a low altitude on the radar screen. The alarm was then sent to the bombers and ground forces via radio.

At this time on Sakhalin Island, military airports were still cleaning up the remains of the first air strike of Japanese aircraft. Although the Japanese counterattack proved to be less than worth the loss, some Japanese bombers successfully dropped bombs on the island and two hit the main runway of the German airport in the southern part of the island. Fortunately, the power of the bombs carried by Japanese aircraft was limited, and the German army built many spare runways long before the war began. Therefore, it would not affect the landing of the bomber group.

.Many Japanese planes and German fighter planes that were shot down in air combat crashed across Sakhalin Island. It was dry and windy winter, and the burning wreckage caused forest fires in several dense forests. The crashed on roads, town ports and military bases were properly handled. There were more than a hundred Japanese pilots who escaped by parachuting, more than half of them were captured by German patrol troops after landing, while others took advantage of the dark cover to rush into the mountains.

Soon, the Air Force Command on Sakhalin Island issued an instruction to the bomber of the return site: if the fuel is allowed, hovering at high altitudes as much as possible, and the oil is about to be exhausted and landed first with the cover of the fighter plane!

Then, the land-based fighter jet that had hurriedly replenished fuel and ammunition took off again. Although it faced the second consecutive attack from Japanese aviation forces on the same night, Sakhalin Island was not in trouble because of this. It can be said that the German army had been waiting for months of intense and orderly preparations.

On the other hand, the German troops stationed in the Sea Cucumber Power were attacked by land. Although the Russians claimed that the Japanese army had "illegal" invaded Russia, the Russian troops deployed in the Far East, especially near the Sea Cucumber Power, did not resist at all, and even assisted the Japanese army in private to transport troops and equipment, which enabled the Japanese army to advance so quickly to the German Sea Cucumber Power Line.

"Regiment headquarters, regiment headquarters, this is position No. 168. We are really attacked by a large number of Japanese infantry! Request for artillery support! Request for artillery support!" The person who reported to his superiors anxiously was a German lieutenant wearing a type 826 steel helmet. Outside this small bunker command center, flares were shining on the black ground, and the sound of cannons, gunshots and shouts were endless. Hundreds of meters ahead, Japanese soldiers who were shooting while advancing were scattered in the fields, and the plaster flags hanging on the front of the rifle were vaguely visible.

"Architecture coordinates 101-21005-0221, request artillery fire to cover! Immediately! Immediately!"

At this moment, a shell from the Japanese field artillery suddenly landed next to the bunker, and the loud noise almost deafened the German officer's ears. When he didn't bother to slap the dust on his body and picked up the phone again, he found that nothing could be heard on the phone.

"Hey... hell!" The officer put down the phone helplessly and turned to a communication soldier wearing a cloth military cap and headphones next to him. "The telephone line probably broke. Use a radio walkie-phone to help me connect to the regiment headquarters! In addition, see if the telephone line can be repaired! These damn Japanese people!"

This is a frontier guard position on the German Sea Cucumber Defense Line, with infantry positions and anti-aircraft bunkers. The fortifications are located on hills at an altitude of 168.8 meters. The north side is cliffs with rugged rocks, and gentle slopes on the southeast and west sides. Although the area north of the Sea Cucumber Defense City is hilly, there are no real mountains and steep hills, but they are all small hills. Therefore, as one of the few frontier guard posts, the German army stationed half of the infantry company and a land-based warning radar on this position No. 168.

As Japan's largest overseas dispatched army, the Kanto Army has always been known for its strength and disobedience. This army group established after the Russo-Japanese War is even more aggressive than their boss, the Japanese Army Department. It attacked the Fengtian warlord leader Zhang Zuolin, created the Shenyang Incident, and large-scale annexation of the three northeastern provinces are their masterpieces, and they are all old Japanese main divisions. Currently, Japan's Tokyo First Division, Sendai Second Division, famous for its famous Gu The Third Division of Ya, the Fifth Division of Hiroshima, the Sapporo Seventh Division, the Tenth Division of Himeji, the 11th Division of Shintoji, and the 16th Division of Kyoto were all in the rankings. Although the main force of the Kanto Army was still in the three eastern provinces and along the Great Wall when Germany declared war on Japan, its elite Fifth, 11th Division and the Second Tank Brigade were stationed in Mudanjiang and Yeyang lines near Russia, and there was a battalion of fighter jets at the Army Aviation Bases in Mudanjiang and Yanji City.

As the most important naval base in the Far East during the Tsarist Russian era, Sea Cucumber Via has gradually become a solid coastal defense fortress after the construction and reinforcement of the outgoing rulers since 1877. The initial fortifications were completed in 1878, and then expanded three times in 1896, 1900 and 1904. During the Russo-Japanese War, it was bombarded by the Second Squadron of the Japanese Joint Fleet, but the solid fortifications and the entry of a large number of fortress troops ultimately failed to capture Sea Cucumber Via and its surrounding areas.

After the Russo-Japanese War, Sea Cucumber Fortress underwent two large-scale renovations and expansions from 191st Fortress to 1916, 1922-1926, and finally formed this huge fortress group mainly composed of reinforced concrete fortifications. After absorbing the experience of Lushunkou for battle in 1904-1905, the new fortress system built many bunkers and underground facilities. The concrete ceiling consisted of U-shaped steel pipes, T-shaped beams and sediment. It is composed of green and can withstand the power of 420 mm shells. A special artillery bunker built of concrete is built on the side of the fortress. The main combat fortification of the fortress is a concrete chest wall. It is equipped with infantry, and a concrete cover is built for observation under the chest wall. It is built for other garrison troops at the back of the fortress. Underground passages are built for all parts of the fortress. There are also ditches built for resisting storms.

As a strategic location, the Sea Cucumber Power and Lushun have many similarities. After losing Lushun, the Russians once sighed that they had lost most of the Far East. With the end of the German-Russian War and the transfer of the sovereignty of the Sea Cucumber Power, the Russians found that they could no longer gain a foothold in the Pacific. However, both democratic Russia, which inherited the legacy of the Tsarist Russian Empire, and warlord governments that separatist the Far East could not violate the wishes of the strong. In the same way, the black, white and red flags fluttered on the Sea Cucumber Power.

When the sight returned to the position No. 168, the German artillery had already begun to bombard the designated area. The Japanese army was advancing and had to run away under the fierce artillery fire. The German officers and soldiers in the position continued to bombard the Japanese infantry trying to bypass the steep north and attack from the other three sides. This tactic successfully delayed the Japanese army's advancement and caused them to suffer hundreds of casualties. However, limited artillery fire alone could not completely stop the Japanese army's attack. The Japanese army's support troops arrived soon, and their officers then went to the soldiers. They announced the news that the German airstrikes in Japan were attacked. Japanese soldiers who had been influenced by the spirit of Bushido for a long time became violent as if they were stimulants. On this cold winter night, Japanese commandos who had drunk strong wine launched a charge. These Japanese soldiers with white cloth strips ignored the German artillery shells and bullets. The German artillery fire swept down a piece of the Japanese army, but then more guys with red eyes rushed up again. After 24 years, the meat bullet attack used by the Japanese army in Lushun once again "exerted their power".

After passing through the fire blockade between the German positions, the Japanese commando began to advance from the east and west of the hill to the German radar station and warning positions on the top of the mountain. Although the positions on the top of the mountain were built in a circular shape, the aggressive Japanese army obviously had a numerical advantage. While the German officers and soldiers continued to call for artillery support and used their weapons to deal a heavy blow to the Japanese army, they were prepared to retreat under the leadership of the commander.

The structure of the radar station on the top of the mountain is not complicated. It is just a bungalow and an antenna tower, but the radar equipment inside is of great value and has very important military significance. This is more than 20 kilometers away from the sea cucumber city area. In other words, under normal circumstances, the radar here can detect incoming enemy fighter jets a few minutes earlier than the radar in the city. It looks short in a few minutes, but it is enough to change the situation of an air battle. Despite this, the German officers and soldiers still endured the pain of installing a large amount of explosives here. In the words of German Emperor William III, the equipment is dead, and it can be rebuilt if it is destroyed. However, every German soldier is a priceless treasure. Wasting the life of a soldier is an equivalent crime to colluding with the enemy and treason!

At an hour before dawn, the commander on the top of the mountain sent a request to retreat to his superiors via radio.

"Agree to break through, but be sure to blow up all the equipment and ordnances that cannot be taken away, and a telephone or a rifle will not be left to the Japanese army!"

The superiors issued the order resolutely and decisively. Although this seemed to leave a good observation position and artillery position for the Japanese army, many tactical ideas during the Russo-Japanese War were outdated. If you want the cannons to fire on those hills, you may have to ask the Luftwaffe's dive bomber first.

Before dawn, German officers and soldiers deployed at the guard posts in front of the main position successively retreated to their main position. The Japanese army achieved the first "victory" since the war started at the cost of nearly 2,000 people. However, facing the strong fortress and united defenders, when talking about the subsequent battle, Taro Okamura, the highest commander of the Kwantung Army, also lamented that the Japanese army must be in another "Lushun Fortress" when talking about the subsequent battle.
