Zhao Tianci is no longer the first brother, but he is still as excited as if he was marrying a wife for the first time, his face flushed;
As the captain of the bomber group, he had carried out many bombing missions, but only this time he felt his blood burning.
As a commander, he must be calm and organize the navigation along the way without making any mistakes.
This time, they were not escorted by fighter jets, and the combat radius of the fighter jets could not reach the Japanese Kyoto.
The fighter plane he is flying is the latest B29 flying fortress bomber, which can carry 9 tons of incendiary bombs at a time, has a maximum lift of 10,200 meters, a maximum speed of 574 kilometers per hour, and a maximum cruising speed of 550 kilometers per hour;
They are flying at an altitude of 9,000 meters at a cruising speed of 500 kilometers per hour.
If they sail at this average speed, they will fly to Kyoto in 5 and a half hours, and then drop 9 tons of incendiary bombs, burning the Japanese Kyoto to nothing.
Shortly after they took off, on the sea more than a thousand kilometers east of Saipan, a huge aircraft carrier formation was chopping through the waves. Their mission was to feint to attack the Ryukyu Islands.
After entering the combat radius of the carrier-based aircraft, they stopped, and then the aircraft took off from the aircraft carrier one by one, forming several huge air formations, and then headed straight for the Ryukyu Islands;
When they entered the detection range of the Ryukyu Islands radar, they were discovered, and a harsh air defense siren sounded over the Ryukyu Islands.
One after another Japanese fighter jets took off from the Ryukyu airport, and formed several large formations to attack the air formations of Hawk Sauce. This was the first time Hawk Sauce launched an attack on the Ryukyu Islands, and it was already at the doorstep of Touton Chicken. Naturally, the Japs tried their best to intercept and fight Yingjiang desperately.
In order to teach Yingjiang a lesson, the Japanese air power was almost mobilized. More than 800 fighter jets were dispatched at once, and they pounced on Yingjiang's flight formation menacingly.
The commander of the Yingjiang formation also detected the Japanese's huge fleet through airborne radar, and realized that this time he had stung a hornet's nest. Instead of being afraid, he excitedly said to others:
“Boys, here comes the battle, there are no less than 800 enemy planes, I wish you in advance to become ace pilots;
Guys, the aerial turkey hunting contest begins, good luck to everyone! "
When the other Eagle Sauce pilots heard that the turkey hunting competition had begun, they immediately shouted in excitement;
In the just-concluded naval battle of the Mariana Islands, the 58th Task Force of the Eagle Fleet's Fifth Fleet severely damaged the First Mobile Fleet of the Japanese Combined Fleet in this naval battle, and seized control of the sea in Xilongpingyang in one fell swoop;
At the same time, it also consolidated the position established on Saipan. Eagle Jiang only paid a very small price of 76 killed, 123 aircraft lost, and four warships slightly damaged;
It achieved brilliant results by sinking three aircraft carriers and two oil tankers of the Combined Fleet, damaging four aircraft carriers, and one battleship, cruiser, and oil tanker each.
In particular, 395 Japanese aircraft were shot down in air battles, while Yingjiang only lost 126 carrier-based aircraft, most of which were shot down by anti-aircraft fire when bombing the Japanese fleet.
Due to the loss of a large number of excellent pilots in previous battles, the Japanese had to send a large number of rookies into battle;
The result is predictable. Because it was too easy to blow up Japanese planes, after the war, he was nicknamed the "Turkey Hunting Contest in the Sky."
Now the Yingjiang pilots had a huge psychological advantage. Although they were at a numerical disadvantage, they still rushed towards the Japanese fleet with confidence. Since the Mariana Battle, another large-scale air battle broke out between the two sides.
The difference this time is that most of the pilots in the Ryukyu Islands are veterans, and their skills are not too different from those of Eagle Sauce;
There was a big difference in the performance of the aircraft, but they had a numerical advantage, so the results were not one-sided. The battle damage ratio could barely be 2 to 1. Each aircraft on both sides was shot down and fell into the sea, and the battle became intense.
At this moment, at an altitude of 9 kilometers to their left, a huge fleet of 500 strategic bombers quietly passed over their heads and headed straight for the homeland of the Foot Pot Chicken.
The Japanese radar operator was focused on the air battle and did not pay attention to the black dots on the screen. Whether he knew about it or not was irrelevant.
Their fighter jets can't reach the B29 strategic bomber at all, the difference is several thousand meters.
An hour later, the attention of Foot Pot Chicken, Demon Palace, and Yuto was all attracted by the Ryukyu air battle;
I have been crying wolf for a while, but this time the wolf is really here!
Private Tojo came in a hurry, his face gloomy, it was clear that he had achieved results.
Before Private Tojo could speak, Yukito asked excitedly:
"Tojo-kun, were Taka-chan's fleet driven away? What was the result?"
Private Tojo prostrated himself on the ground and said:
"Your Majesty, there is an emergency call from Ryukyu. The fleet of Hawk-chan's aircraft has been driven away and more than 300 enemy planes have been shot down!"
Even he himself didn't believe what Tojo said, but Yuren believed him, waving his fists excitedly and saying:
"Very good, the warriors fought well. I am very pleased. After losing more than 300 carrier-based aircraft at one time, Yingjiang and the others should be able to calm down for a while!
This is a great victory and must be reported to my people so that they can also be happy and rebuild their confidence.
Too many, how many aircraft did the imperial army lose? "
Private Tojo deliberately didn't mention this. He wanted to get away with it, but unexpectedly he was reminded of it, so he could only bite the bullet and said:
"Your Majesty, the empire has lost a total of 365 fighter jets."
Yuren wanted to curse, but he held it back. Now that Yingjiang is in a strong position, it is not easy to achieve a 1:1 battle loss ratio. He cannot be too demanding on the warriors.
He thought of this, and then said without blushing or heartbeat:
"Just shoot down 500 aircraft and report 200 self-damage, no, 150!
The empire needs a big victory to boost its morale. Let's use 200 fighter jets from the mainland to replenish the lost aircraft. "
When Private Tojo heard that he had something to add, it would be easy to handle, and he breathed a sigh of relief. This matter had been deceived by him again. Just listen to the results of the battle, and don't take it too seriously.
Just when Captain Tojo was about to flee, the piercing air defense siren sounded. Captain Tojo was confused and thought someone had made a mistake. Yukito became even more furious and cursed:
"Bagaya Road, Tojo-kun, go find out who is neglecting his duty. Isn't this disturbing the morale of the army and the people? It must be severely punished!"
"Your Majesty, I will go and deal with it——"
"Your Majesty, it's not good! It's not good, the radar station is reporting that enemy planes are incoming, enemy planes are incoming!"
The head guard of the Demon Palace came over to report anxiously. He brought a team of guards over to prepare to help Yuren hide in the royal basement of the Demon Palace. This thing is safer than an air raid shelter.
Since the footpot chicken was opened to the country by Yingjiang 90 years ago, it has never been attacked by foreign enemies, which makes Yuren very uncomfortable;
But he knew in his heart that the captain of the guard would never dare to deceive him. There could only be one result -
"Your Majesty, Yingjiang is coming, quickly retreat to the basement;
I'm going to notify the flying team to intercept them, and I will definitely wipe them out of the country and make them regret coming! "
Yuren liked the general's demeanor of Tojo Senior Private who never panicked at any time, so he immediately scolded:
"What kind of panic is this? I'm not going anywhere. I want to live and die with 100 million subjects!"
I am ordered by heaven, and I want to see which bomb dares to blow me up! "
At an altitude of 5 kilometers, due to tactical deception, the formation commander successfully deceived the air interception force of Jiaopanji. In order to increase the effect of bombing, the formation commander ordered the formation to lower the bomb delivery height;
Dropping to an altitude of 5 kilometers, the probability of hitting the target greatly increased. Commander Yingjiang issued the order to drop the bomb through the airborne radio, and Zhao Tianci was waiting for this order.
After receiving the order, he shouted excitedly in his ears:
"Comrades, drop the bomb! Burn the sons of bitches!"
