Chapter 108 China's Roar 4
The firefighters immediately stopped the rescue operation and reported the situation immediately. Many people in the Shimane government also smelled the special smell.
Many people began to show various symptoms of inhaling sarin gas, which frightened city officials.
Some research institutes and hospitals have begun to detect these gases floating in the air, and now no one cares about the lives of civilians.
These high-ranking officials of the Japanese government began to take back all the protective clothing and equipment worn by some rescue workers for use by themselves and their families.
They needed to escape from the city. Of course, some incendiary bombs alone would not make them so panicked, but the poison gas bombs made it impossible for them to stay.
That afternoon, rescue workers throughout the city were not rescuing ordinary citizens in need, but were all serving the bureaucrats.
The Southwest Air Defense Command urgently launched thirty fighter jets in an attempt to intercept these bombers of unknown nationality.
However, these Japanese fighter planes were simply unable to fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters, and Japan did not have high-altitude interceptor fighter planes in service.
These Japanese pilots flying Zero fighters didn't even carry oxygen masks, so they could only fly under these bombers.
Several radical pilots began to desperately try to fly their fighter jets, regardless of the limits of their bodies and aircraft.
When they pulled the fighter plane to nearly 9000 meters, it began to shake violently, as if it might disintegrate in the air at any time.
Finally, they were forced to abandon this nearly suicidal action and simply pointed their planes toward the high-altitude bomber groups again and again, spraying bullets at the bombers above them with machine guns.
But it was of no use. The B29 bomber formation was nervous when they saw Japanese fighter planes appearing below, but they had already completed dropping bombs.
Seeing fighter jets appear below, we instinctively continued to climb. Ten thousand meters is not the maximum altitude for the B29.
When they climbed to an altitude of more than a meter, these somewhat panicked bomber pilots realized that the Japanese planes could not fly so high.
Their maximum altitude was 9000 meters. Now facing the B29 fleet that had climbed to an altitude of meters, they could only use machine gun bullets to send them off.
Shimane, which has been hit by a special bomb, has fallen into unprecedented chaos, and the fire in the city is still burning.
Wooden buildings were the best media, and large numbers of citizens fell under the double blow of fire and poisonous gas.
There were no official personnel involved in the rescue, only some citizens spontaneously organized to join in, but they were also more or less affected by the special bomb.
Shortly after the telegram about the air raid in the southwest region reached the military and the Prime Minister's residence, the air defense sirens over Tokyo sounded again.
After Doolittle's bombing a year earlier, Tokyo's air defense measures changed a lot.
So when the B29 bomber group just approached the Tokyo airspace, the ground radar had already discovered them and immediately sounded the air defense alarm.
Prime Minister Hideki Tojo's face turned pale as he was dragged by his subordinates to the air-raid shelter!
"Asshole! Leave me alone! Now all of you go to the palace and ensure the safety of the locust tribe! The safety of His Majesty the Heavenly Locust is related to the fate of the Empire of Japan!"
While being dragged by the guards, Tojo shouted loudly to the secretary behind him. As the prime minister, he had just received a telegram from Shimane Prefecture.
A formation of suspected Chinese bombers flew over Shimane Prefecture an hour ago, dropping vicious incendiary bombs and special bombs that the Empire had always used on the battlefields in China.
The telegram said that Matsue in Shimane has now turned into a sea of fire, and poisonous gas and fire are constantly reaping the lives of the people of the empire.
At the same time, the National Air Defense Force also sent the latest intelligence, indicating that only one of the two bomber formations bombed Shimane, and the other bomber formation was missing.
At this time, radar had just begun to be installed in Japan, and the technology was very inferior, with a detection range of only 50-60 kilometers.
The B29 fleet had been flying at an altitude of meters, and as there were many thick clouds in the spring sky, they were not detected by radar until they flew close to the outskirts of Tokyo.
Hideki Tojo's face turned pale. He knew that the bombing was inevitable. Even if only one bomb fell, the blow to Japan's morale could not be underestimated.
Tokyo had some experience because of last year's bombing, but they didn't know that the bomber that was visiting this time was no longer the B25.
These are not ordinary bombs, but incendiary bombs and special bombs.
"Your Majesty! Please leave immediately! Go to the air-raid shelter below!"
The palace guards, who were wearing Mao suits, helped the pale-faced Japanese locust to escape quickly.
"No! No! Go find the Queen and the Crown Prince! Have them hide quickly too! How did Tojo guarantee that?"
"Why did he once again allow the Allied fighter planes to break through the absolute defense circle? He promised me the day he took the position of Prime Minister!"
The Minister of the Imperial Household Ministry followed Hirohito and kept silent, not knowing how to respond to the Emperor's words. For now, the best thing to do was to keep the locust room safe.
The Crown Prince and the Queen were soon brought into the air-raid shelter by the attendants. However, because the Crown Prince was still practicing karate, he was still barefoot when he was forcibly brought out by the attendants.
When they arrived here, Prince Locust's feet were already dirty and even had two scratches. Queen Xiangchun cleaned the feet for her son with tears in her eyes together with several servants.
"Here is the Japanese capital! Brothers, the time for revenge has come! After 11 years, we can finally get rid of the hatred in our hearts!"
"Boom boom boom" the anti-aircraft guns began firing into the sky. This is Tokyo, the capital of Japan. Naturally, its air defense capability is far beyond the reach of a city like Shimane.
Large-caliber anti-aircraft guns can indeed threaten the bomber groups in the air, and clouds of black smoke exploded around the groups.
The airflow generated by the explosion caused many bombers to shake continuously, but almost all the crew members did not feel scared.
Everyone just wanted to drop the revenge bombs in the cabin onto the enemy's capital and into their locust palace.
In fact, it is not so easy for an airplane to be hit by anti-aircraft artillery in the air. Often, thousands of shells may not hit it once, let alone this kind of attack at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
Seen from the ground, it looked as if the sky was covered in artillery fire, but in fact most of the shells were below the aircraft group.
"Target number one appears! Prepare to drop bombs!"
The navigator's voice reached the ears of the bombardiers in the rear cabin. The magazine had been opened and the bombardiers gently stroked each 500-kilogram bomb.
They wrote many slogans on the bomb with brushes, the most common of which was "Blood debt must be paid with blood! Revenge for the deaths of 30 million civilians!"
Some bombs were graffitied with words like "Little Japanese, I will fuck your ancestors for eighteen generations!" Of course, there were also some "friendly" words greeting the women in Hirohito's family.
After receiving the order to drop the bomb, Li Mancang opened the buckle that secured the bomb with tears on his face and trembling.
The whistling sound of the air caused by the bomb landslide sounded so wonderful to Li Mancang!
"Dad, Mom! I have avenged you two today! You two can finally rest in peace today!"
Almost every bomber crew had family members who died at the hands of the Japanese. Today, the emotions that had been suppressed in their hearts were finally released at the moment the bomb fell.
Many pilots could still vaguely hear shouting and crying coming from the back of the cabin amid the rumbling sound of explosions.
