spn Chapter 363 The Burning of Yamato (4)

"It is undeniable that China is indeed a beautiful city!"

, in a sake shop on a certain street in Tokyo, Yamashita Chuyuki, an old man with no business, was telling the story of his youth to his little grandson sitting beside him.

The little grandson is 15 years old this year and has just received a call-up order from the military recruitment department. He will be enlisted in the reserves. After one year of military training, he will be incorporated into a regular division and go on the battlefield.

Yamashita Hideaki has heard the story told by the old man Yamashita countless times, but this time, he had just received the recruitment order, holding it tightly in his hands, looking forward to everything in his grandfather's words, but he heard it especially

He was entranced. Can the glory of his grandfather's generation of soldiers be repeated in his own body? Perhaps, there will be a day when he rushes into this big Eastern country with a bayonet drawn. Just thinking about it makes his blood boil all over.[

The old man, Yamashita Nakayuki, is 71 years old. He used to be an army infantryman during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894. The thing he is most proud of is that he was selected to participate in the attack on Lushun on November 21, 1894. He was also a member of the hand-to-hand charge team. Not only did he win

Shengli was one of the first soldiers to rush into Lushun. He personally "suicided" a Qing army officer wearing a flower feather on his head. He picked up his head with a bayonet and his braids fell to the ground. A Japanese war reporter took care of him.

I took a special commemorative photo to celebrate the victory.

“Before the attack on Port Arthur, our major told us that the Chinese were strong on the outside and capable on the inside, so weak that they could even be blown down by the wind, and all countries in the world that could sail far away could come and share some of the benefits.

Our Yamato nation is closest to them. In China, their silver and gold are piled as high as mountains. Ordinary people have a lot of gold and silver in their homes. However, our empire is determined to be strong but lacks enough wealth. We need to buy more.

More machines, more warships, more armed troops, and more territory. These all require huge military expenditures to support. Other countries can come and snatch it. As the nearest Asian power, we should get more support from the Chinese.

Wealth and land should be divided from their sick and disabled bodies.

The war broke out, naval battles, land battles, we won. In that war, I personally killed 6 long-haired Qing soldiers on the battlefield. They were dressed like farmers and only had a few muskets and cannons, so we won

After winning the battle, they captured Lushun.

Gee, that was a wonderful time."

When Yamashita Takoyuki said this, he stopped and turned his head to look at the yellowed photo on the wall, as if he was thinking about something. The photo in the glass frame was of a man holding a rifle with both hands, with a pick on it.

The person with a long braided head and a winner's smile facing the camera is Yamashita Chuyuki.

"In the First World War, our empire received a total of more than 360 million yen, which not only greatly strengthened our navy, but also raised our overall national strength to a big level. On the contrary, the Chinese people paid a huge amount for this

price."

Yamashita Hideaki remembered the history of the Japanese War told by his teacher at school, and started talking spontaneously.

"Yes, more than 200 million taels of silver. That is a number that makes the whole world shocked, envious and even greedy. Those Westerners who have high hands but low eyesight cannot compare with our empire's clever methods. Not only did they receive huge compensation,

We also received a series of most favored treatment.”

Yamashita Chuyuki said with a sinister smile, "When we were in Lushun, we could kill people arbitrarily. Of course, we wouldn't feel any guilt in killing Chinese people. The team leader called them 'Maluda', and let us train like stabbing people."

Likewise, killing them one by one not only saves money but also strengthens morale.

We can also storm into any Chinese house, just like my juniors did in Northeast and North China in 1933, storm into any Chinese house and steal whatever you want to take away, you can

Killing them arbitrarily can rape their wives, daughters, and even 80-year-old women. Haha, this does not violate military discipline. Our major took the lead in tasting the taste of an 83-year-old woman, haha...

"

Yamashita Hideaki looked at this small sake shop with envy on his face, and said with determination, "Grandpa, back then you were able to run a sake shop with the money you robbed from China. I will steal more in the future.

With the money, I will open a big company so that you, dad and mom can live a good life."

Yamashita Takoyuki shook his head and sighed, "You haven't heard from your father and mother in Southeast Asia for almost half a year. You have to remember that whether it's for the empire or for ourselves, as long as we can defeat the Chinese, we can win the entire world.

In the world, there are only us and China in Asia. If we win against them, we will win over Asia."

"Well, Grandpa, I will definitely remember it. Please tell me how to use the bayonet." Yamashita Hideaki raised a wooden rifle beside him. It was his usual treasure, the so-called samurai's collection.

Yamashita Chuyuki nodded, walked out of the counter wearing a traditional kimono, and began to instruct this little grandson on how to do the stabbing.

…

Not long after Hirohito fell asleep, he had a terrible dream, and he woke up immediately. He didn't bother to wipe the cold sweat on his head and got up again. The Queen Ryoko who was woken up was just about to say something when he snorted and hit her coldly.

Broken.

Walking to the table, Hirohito, who was only wearing pajamas, picked up the phone and dialed the military department skillfully, "Is there anything unusual tonight?"

Naturally, the person on the phone reported that everything was normal.[

Later, Hirohito was worried and made a few more calls, including calls to the Tokyo Prevention and Control Headquarters, the garrison and the police station. They were all dialed directly without being transferred. The answers he received were that everything was normal and there was nothing abnormal.

Condition.

In the nightmare just now, Hirohito dreamed that a huge dragon swam from the sea, circled around and came to the sea outside Tokyo, causing trouble and harming Tokyo. He also dreamed that the strange dragon seemed to swallow him up in the palace.

Same as next.

"It looks like an ominous sign." After a long silence, Hirohito dialed the phone again and ordered the palace adviser Kanaya Norizo ​​to enter the palace immediately to discuss military and national affairs.

…

On the No. 128-40 Tianshen bomber, no one spoke at this time, only the loud noise of the bomber flying.

Judging from the flight range, they have been in the sky above the mainland for more than half an hour. The flight at an altitude of 10,000 meters gives the fleet absolute safety. Except for China, no country in the world has radar that can accurately capture the flight at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

There are very few aircraft in China that can operate at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

This is an absolutely safe altitude, but everyone is cautious, fearing that something will go wrong at the last minute. Li Tiangang, the co-pilot on the bomber, has checked the communication equipment several times, and his eyes scanned the radar screen every two or three seconds.

At first glance, he was the co-pilot of the bomber, and also served as the communications corpsman and the second radar corpsman.

Since the mission was a night bombing mission, the manpower usually responsible for operating aviation machine guns and cannons was temporarily transferred to assist the captain Zhao Chuanyu in serving the bombers, and to assist Li Tiangang in operating the locator. Although the operation was

』The operation is mechanized, but to ensure the safety and accuracy of the investment, there are many things that need to be done.

"Captain, everything is normal during the formation flight. We have arrived at the specified power-on time by wire."

Li Tiangang stared at the watch on his wrist and reported when it expired.

"Turn on the machine and prepare to receive formation command." Zhao Chuanyu ordered.

With the wired communication equipment turned on, all bombers are receiving information from the command aircraft, such as positioning and navigation.

The aircraft responsible for bombing Tokyo had a total of more than 350 bombers in 2 waves. The number of bombers in the first wave was 200, including hundreds of -40 Tenshin strategic bombers, and most of the others were -35 Thor long-range bombers. These two

The long-range strategic bombers of the same series all have the advantages of large and multiple ranges and high safety factors.

"Report, we are still about 10 minutes away from Tokyo!"

On board the -40 modified formation command aircraft equipped with a large amount of communication, command, positioning and radar equipment, a second lieutenant in charge of positioning once again reported the latest revised data to Major General Luo Tao, the commander of the first wave of bombings.

"Put on the channel to the bombing headquarters."

Soon, the call was connected.

"I am Fan Chaoping!"

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, my first wave of aircraft is still 10 minutes away from Tokyo. Please give instructions!"

Major General Luo Tao reported steadily that this report meant that it was also the last report. Next, when he arrived in the sky over Tokyo, he only needed to accept the wire positioning from ground intelligence personnel, and then he would launch a bombing. Unless the Supreme Power Council ordered the termination of the mission, otherwise,

Fan Chaoping will now unlock the last layer of insurance for the bombing campaign.

“According to plan!”

"Yes! Understood!!"[

Major General Luo Tao turned off the call and immediately issued an order: "Order each formation to act according to the original plan and prepare to descend the altitude. The machine's electric positioning instruments are ready to be turned on at full power to accept ground target navigation."

After giving the order, he felt that his palms were sweaty. This was such a gratifying action. He had been in the army for so many years. Only when he graduated from the Southwest Air Force Command University did he feel so excited and nervous. He was even promoted to major general.

He could remain barely calm at all times.

Looking at the machine timer that had started a ten-minute countdown, Major General Luo Tao took a long breath and waited for the last moment to arrive.

He knew that he would perform a new feat in the Sino-Japanese War and be the first Air Force major general to command the bombing of Tokyo.

The last ten minutes are coming, and the huge fleet of aircraft is rapidly descending from an altitude of 10,000 meters. They will carry out strategic bombing on important targets in Tokyo in addition to the Japanese radar and anti-aircraft firepower at an altitude of several thousand meters.

…

Yang Zhengyi was in the yard of a family at this time. For absolute safety, he did not kill the people, but gave them enough "drugs" to make them sleepy. This way, if someone came to visit, they would be safe.

In order not to be "exposed", he then closed the door tightly and began to assemble a machine.

This machine was delivered by other agents in the evening. It is a very precise signal transmitter used for wire positioning and navigation. It transmits signals through three or more points.

The fleet will be able to obtain navigation and target guidance, allowing it to carry out horizontal bombing with higher accuracy.

He checked the yard one last time and then checked the situation of the family to ensure that in case of any failure, he quickly assembled the machine. For an elite agent who had received the most rigorous training, although he had many

I haven't touched it in years, but it didn't take more than five minutes to assemble.

He opened the door to the side room, put up the antenna, and then sat there looking at his watch, waiting for the time to pass by.

Seeing that there were still 20 minutes left before the scheduled start time of 9:10 pm, Yang Zhengyi did not think randomly, but took out the photos of his wife and son in his arms.

Although my wife is a human being, she is a good woman who has nothing to do with politics and never cares about the country or nation. She only loves her husband and son. Regardless of the difference in nationality, Yang Zhengyi loves her. Of course, he also loves her.

The two-year-old son.

The organizational decision has taken care of a group of people like Yang Zhengyi, who have been lurking abroad for decades for various reasons. They are waiting for the completion of the task at the most critical moment. Through the special order signed by the Chairman, after completing the task, if he does not

If you are willing to continue performing other special tasks, you can choose to retire, receive a very considerable military merit fund, and then retire in Hanzhong Province or even other places.
To be continued...
