First Target Plane, April 1943, 12.

As January 1944, 1 was approaching New Year's Day, the people of Yanhuang mainland in the first target plane, the invading army of the Japanese pirates and their local citizens, became very busy.

For the people of Yanhuang, New Year's Day is far less important than Spring Festival. It is just that when Sun Yat-sen took office as the interim president in Nanjing at the beginning of January 1912, in order to "walk in the summer and go to the agricultural season, we will count" from the Western calendar. a product.Moreover, the government of the Republic of China called New Year's Day "New Year" and the first day of the lunar calendar as "Spring Festival".Therefore, the common people themselves do not recognize the "New Year". Most people still inherit the ancient customs and value the "Spring Festival" far more than the "New Year". There are no markets, temple fairs and celebrations in the market. The big foreign firms that they operate are just waiting for a one-day holiday. They are busy at this time, and they are more likely to buy supplies and prepare food for the "Spring Festival" on the first day of the lunar calendar.

The Japanese pirates are quite different. Since the Meiji Restoration, in order to get closer to the Western powers in all aspects, the little devils have gradually downplayed the practice of celebrating the New Year on the first day of the lunar calendar inherited from ancient Yanhuang, and emphasized on strengthening the concept of the Western New Year on January 1. .If there is no war, they will be released for 1 consecutive days starting from the 1st, and they will have to "Hatsuchi (worship Buddha)", eat "Yuzao", drink Tusu wine, taste herring roe, eat black beans and slightly sweet soy sauce boiled oatmeal. Dried fish, and of course a host of festivities.

Japanese pirates native Tokyo.

At this time, the atmosphere here is a bit weird. On the streets of Tokyo, people are coming and going, and there is a lot of traffic. Many street shops have set up long corridor stalls outside the houses, displaying the goods in the shops that are not rich in variety due to the war. : There are Jingting lights made of wood, dark red meal boxes, wooden rolling pins with thin ends and thick middle, curtains made of grass strips, rough but practical bowls with green outside and white inside, etc.All the scenes in the whole city are presented like a festival, but the strange thing is that the road is very quiet, without the laughter and hustle and bustle that a festival should have.Japanese pirates men and women in earth-brown coarse kimono styles quietly and quickly selected urgently needed items at home, and frequently looked at the sky, fearing that black spots (Star-Spangled Banner bombers) that would suddenly appear in the distance would bring destruction and fire to themselves.

At the end of 1943, the city of Tokyo had begun to show prosperity, but it was far worse than the appearance of the well-known international metropolises in later generations.At this time, Tokyo had no skyscrapers and no subway system.Some are just here and there, a series of wooden bungalows and small buildings.The roads are mainly dirt roads and no asphalt has been paved on a large scale (except for the area near the palace). When the sea breeze blows, dust will be rolled up all over the place, which chokes the nose.Tall wooden telephone poles stand on the side of the road, and a few emaciated saplings are planted beside them. Pedestrians riding bicycles, driving horse-drawn carriages, and pedestrians come and go. There are several colors of earthy brown, turquoise, and gray, so the overall city picture is also monotonous, boring, rigid and silent.

Endo Yuki is an employee of the Yamazaki Steel Works in Tokyo. He has experienced a roller coaster of mental changes this year.First, the great cousin of His Majesty the Emperor, King Hengxian of Heyang Palace, was crushed in Shaanxi Province in Yanhuang Continent, and then the Red Party in Shaanxi swept the imperial army at an incredible speed, occupied the northwest of Yanhuang Continent, and at the end of the year occupied the empire in the Yangtze River All "territories" to the north.

Then came Yamamoto's fifth general, this godlike man.He shined his talents in the crisis of the empire, successively conquered the Stars and Stripes Hawaii, New Zealand and Australia, and wiped out the main force of the Stars and Stripes Pacific Fleet several times (the Japanese pirates exaggerated the propaganda).This made the empire's territory in the Western Pacific increasingly consolidated, basically cutting off the possibility of the Stars and Stripes counterattack.But at this exciting moment, the enemy's sudden high-altitude bombing began.From the dozens at the beginning to hundreds of thousands of planes every day, they are raging over Tokyo without any scruples.Although the planes of the empire bravely killed the enemy, for some reason, more and more bombs fell into the city of Tokyo, especially the large number of incendiary bombs, which devastated the streets of Tokyo where the majority of wooden houses were.

"I'm back!" Thinking about these messy things in his mind, Endo Yuki pushed open the door of his house.

"Endo-kun, welcome home!" Yuko Yoshikawa replied, putting on her hat and apron, and dusting the house with a duster.

"Father, welcome back. Can you take us to watch the firefighters climb the ladder now?" The three children, who were holding wet cloths in their hands and pouring water on the sliding door and the floor, begged loudly.Every New Year, the people in the Japanese pirates will spontaneously form a parade, and then parade along the street holding the national flag and the flag representing Furui. Skills, enhance the festive atmosphere, while reminding people to pay attention to fire prevention.

"It's not good this year, the ladder climbing activity has been cancelled." Endo Yuki shook his head.

"Nani? Why?" The three children who heard the bad news asked depressedly.Since Endo Yuki is an employee of a steel factory, his monthly salary is relatively high, so the children in the family still have relatively sufficient food and one or two decent clothes.

"A while ago, there were too many fires in various parts of Tokyo. The fire brigade and gendarmerie have been putting out fires day and night. I heard that there are no more physical performances." Yuki Endo replied impatiently, "Okay , there will be a parade caravan (horse caravan) coming in a while, you can take the kite and go out to play for a while."

"Hi!" Upon hearing other programs, the three Japanese pirate children ran out of the house.

After the children rushed out of the house, Endo Yuki asked, "Yuko, did you make 'Ehomomaki'?"

Japanese pirates eat Huifang rolls in the New Year, a thick sushi roll with seven special foods (dried zucchini, cucumber strips, mushrooms, eggs, eels, dried fish floss), which Japanese pirates eat to welcome spring. special food.The word "Huifang" refers to the direction where the God of Fortune is located, that is, the direction of auspiciousness.

"Hey, I made some this year, but I couldn't find dried zucchini, cucumber sticks, and mushrooms. The fillings were only eggs, eel, and dried fish floss." Yuko Yoshikawa was a little disappointed because she couldn't make up the ingredients that represented the Seven Lucky Gods. .

"Haha, it's okay, it's good to have it, let's watch the night together tonight, and pray for the empire's military fortune to last!"

"Hi!"

At the same time, the various departments of the Japanese pirates dispatched army located in the south of the Yangtze River in the Yanhuang Continent were also celebrating the New Year.However, since the defensive position is the top priority at this time, the taste of the year is much worse than that of the Japanese pirates.

The total number of dispatched troops south of the Yangtze River is about 60. They have to defend the more than 1000-kilometer-long Yangtze River defense line and maintain the vast occupied areas such as Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and Jiangxi.Therefore, in the defense of the Yangtze River, they rely more on the strength of the hundreds of gunboats and dozens of frigates sent by the navy into the Yangtze River. The heavy artillery group of the fortress in a strategic location is used to hold the entire Yangtze River defense line.But in the end, the new year is approaching, and the Yanhuang Red Party has not attacked, and it has shown that it will attack after the spring of next year, so the level of vigilance has finally dropped.

After dusk, on the other side of the Yangtze River, the Yanhuang Red Party rehabilitated the area.

From the newly built wide asphalt roads, one after another army convoys, a series of large-caliber heavy artillery, were pulled by tractors and drove quickly to the destination that had been calculated and scheduled long ago. Shelling positions.

"I've finally waited for this day!" Commander-in-Chief Peng of the First Column said loudly while sitting in the fast-moving armored command vehicle.

"Boss Peng is about to get sick." Yan Kui, chief of staff of the first column, said with a smile.

"No, in order to wait for the 80 new troops that are still being trained to form combat effectiveness, we postponed the battle of crossing the river for more than two months." Zhao Shoushan, the deputy commander of the first column, also answered happily.

"This time we've put in all our energy. Several columns have a total of 150 million main troops that can be used in field battles, more than 1 cannons, 00 tanks and armored vehicles of various types, and more than 9000 multiple rocket launchers. There is also a base of sufficient reserves Prepare ammunition, hehe, enough brats can't even recognize his mother." Zhang Zongxun, who is also the deputy commander, calculated.

"The meaning of the central government is very clear, to fight across the Yangtze River and to Guangdong Province in one go, and to regain the north of the Yangtze River in a destructive manner." Mr. Peng said with a serious face: "This is not only a battle of liberation and revenge, but also a war of revenge. It is a battle for national rejuvenation. We must occupy the enemy-occupied areas as quickly as possible, and do not give the bald party a chance. Although we don’t have to be afraid of him at all, if we can kill fewer compatriots, we will die less. The comrades of the underground party in the south of the Yangtze River are Isn't it ready?"

"The Central Intelligence Agency has sent a telegram to confirm that the comrades over there are ready. As long as our comrades call over, someone will come out to guide and respond, and march in the shortest time to find and annihilate the enemy."

"And this time the navy and air force are also ready. They will send their own ship detachment, combat and bomber detachment to participate in the battle. Thousands of landing craft and tens of thousands of assault boats are also ready, and they are all in a concealed state. Just wait until tomorrow It can be taken out and used when the general attack is launched in the morning."

"We have also confirmed the position and coordinates of the enemy's artillery positions. Our army's artillery is far better than theirs, can shoot farther than them, and is more powerful than them. It can completely suppress and destroy them and cover the troops crossing the river."

"Okay, then all we need to do is wait for tomorrow morning."

On the second day, Foxiao, Daejeon Airport in North Korea and several front-line airports.

At this time, nearly a thousand Stars and Stripes B-24 double vertical tail bombers are lining up in all airports, preparing to enter the runway. This is the largest bomber group formed since they carried out the bombing mission. Under the escort of "Thunder" fighter jets, they carried out the fixed-point bombing plan of the "Tokyo Trial" in order to teach the Japanese pirates a memorable lesson on the first day after entering 47.

And in order to achieve the maximum bombing effect, the Yanhuang Red Party also recommended a new type of incendiary bomb to the Stars and Stripes—napalm-b (the Dow Chemical Company in the Republic of the Stars and Stripes was successfully developed in 1965, and later became one of the symbols of the Vietnam War. It "rapidly depletes the oxygen in the nearby air" and produces so much carbon monoxide that it suffocates nearby organisms (napalm was used in the Vietnam War to clear landing areas for helicopters).Of course, the soldiers of the Stars and Stripes don't know the specific facts. They only know that this is a "slightly" more powerful bomb than ordinary incendiary bombs. Anyway, they are all dropped on the little devil's head, not their own head, so what is the difference? relation?

At the same time, Wang Fan was sitting on the aircraft watching the time directly above one of the Japanese pirate defense fortresses south of the Yangtze River. When the needle pointed to 5:30 in the morning, he said to Yadi: "It's time, let's start! "

So, on January 1944, 1, under the Yanhuang Red Party’s large-caliber artillery with the jacket removed one after another, under the b-1 double-tail bomber after another flying to the Japanese pirates’ land, in the Comrade Wang Fan's aerial bomb "dumpling rain" has begun!
