Chapter 107: China's Roar 3

"Attention all crews! We have reached the bombing area! Maintain an altitude of 1 meters and start dropping bombs in two minutes! Machine gun crews, pay attention to the Japanese fighters!"

The bombing formation was sent to the commander, and Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Wu Jianwei, the captain of the 1st Flight Squadron, issued the bombing order through the radio!

This time they were carrying out a high-altitude bombing. Wang Chun knew that it was basically impossible for Japanese fighter planes during World War II to fly to an altitude of more than 100 meters.

In order to avoid the loss of pilots and crew members, who are already in short supply, he would not easily let pilots take risks unless the target was of great strategic value.

In later generations, the US military's large-scale bombing of Japan was mostly carried out at high altitudes of 10,000 meters in order to protect the safety of the bombers.

In fact, the B29's own defense is also very strong. When flying in such a large formation, it is very difficult for some fighter jets to break through this hedgehog formation.

When the Allies launched a massive bombing campaign against Germany in the late stages of World War II, the German Air Force did not gain any advantage in the face of these bomber formations armed to the teeth.

It was not until the bombers flew over the city that aviation alarms were sounded on the ground.

"What's this for? I haven't heard of any air defense drill today!" Pedestrians gathered in groups of three or four on the street and talked in low voices.

Even a policeman who was in charge of directing traffic jams on the street looked up with a puzzled look on his face, shielding his eyes from the glaring sunlight with his hands, trying to see what was in the sky.

When his eyes finally adjusted to the bright light, he could already see planes the size of a swarm of flies flying over his city in the sky.

In fact, the bombing had already begun at this time, but due to the altitude, it was difficult for people on the ground to see clearly with the naked eye.

"Enemy attack! Enemy planes are attacking! They have begun dropping bombs! I repeat, the enemy has begun dropping bombs! This is not a drill! This is not a drill!"

At an air defense observation post on the west side of the city, air defense personnel inside saw through high-powered telescopes that the bombers in the air had begun dropping bombs.

A heart-wrenching cry came from the phone. The commander of the anti-aircraft artillery unit responsible for the city's air defense wanted to die at this moment.

The entire city did not start to evacuate because of the air raid sirens. Instead, many people took to the streets and looked up at the sky.

"Boom boom boom" the sparse anti-aircraft guns began to roar unwillingly at the aircraft groups in the air!

However, without large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, these 20mm and 40mm anti-aircraft guns could not pose any threat to the B29 fleet at an altitude of meters.

"Hey! This time the exercise is more like what it is! Unlike the air defense exercise a year ago, not even a plane was deployed!"

On the ground, looking up at the sky, I saw traffic policeman Shinji Noda. Seeing multiple planes flying in the sky, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up to this sudden air defense exercise!

Then he thought about the fact that these actors did not cooperate at all. He guessed that the proud pilots of the empire in the sky would be very disappointed. After all, their hard work this time did not produce any results.

It was not until the black clouds exploded in the sky where the fleet of planes flew over that the people on the ground felt that this exercise was a little too realistic.

Aren't they afraid that these artillery shells will hit the fighter planes in the air? Looking at the black clouds that keep exploding in the sky.

Before these people could react, military trucks suddenly appeared on the street and sounds came from the loud speakers on the trucks.

This made the citizens who had been watching the show panic.

"All citizens! Please evacuate immediately! Go to the nearest air-raid shelter. This is not a drill! This is not a drill!"

"Mom! Look! The big birds in the sky are laying eggs, and many eggs are falling from their buttocks!"

A young child held in his mother's arms was looking curiously at the things falling from the sky.

But he didn't notice that his mother's face had already turned pale, and at the same time the child found that his body was moving quickly.

"Mom! Mom! Don't run! I want to see the big bird lay eggs! We can pick them up and eat them! These bird eggs must be delicious!"

The boy's mother hugged her son tightly and ran away. The only thing she was thankful for was that she brought her son to the suburbs for an outing today.

It was already past noon and they were just about to go home. They had just reached the edge of the city.

Now the mother's only thought is to stay away from the city. She wants to protect her son from this city that is about to be enveloped by iron and fire.

The children could see the falling bombs, and other people on the ground could naturally see the bombs falling from the sky.

"Help! Run! Run! It's really a bombing!" Only at this time did people in the city realize that this was a real bombing.

500 kg of incendiary bombs mixed with some bombs marked with a special skull and crossbones symbol fell from the sky.

"Boom boom boom" balls of orange-red fire bloomed gorgeously in the city with their brilliant colors.

It is as enchanting as the red spider lily growing on the road to the underworld, and the strange flames it blooms are so captivating.

The buildings in the city were enveloped in strange red flames, and the crowds fleeing in panic on the ground were also enveloped in the flames.

The painful wails and heart-wrenching cries for help continued to reach the ears of many people. The B29 had a bomb load of nearly 9 tons, and each bomber basically carried 15 500-kilogram bombs.

They were not fully loaded. After all, this was the first bombing. In order to prevent accidents, the bombers left 2 tons of payload to transport aviation fuel to prevent the situation of running out of fuel.

"Don't hold me back! I want to go back! I want to go back! That's my home, where all my belongings are!"

"Ms. Katoko! Run! The whole place is on fire! There's no way to save it even if you go back!"

Several young men pulled the girl in front of them who was planning to go back to rescue her belongings, but the place had already been engulfed by the fire! Going back would only mean death!

The area where they were located was where the bullet impact points were most concentrated. Several people pulled Katoko and fled desperately towards an area far away from the fire.

As they were escaping, they noticed that some bombs did not explode with much force when they hit the ground, but instead produced some smoke and emitted some special smells.

Miss Katoko was very sure that she smelled the unique smell of rotten apples, but as ordinary people they had no way of knowing why these bombs falling from high altitudes would emit such a smell.

They didn't have time to think too much now. As more incendiary bombs fell, the fire continued to spread and the temperature around them became very high.

Every time they took a breath of air, they felt a burning sensation in their lungs, and the feeling became more and more obvious as they ran more vigorously.

With a loud "boom", another violent explosion occurred less than 200 meters away from them. Then they all stared in amazement as a horrific pillar of fire appeared in front of them.

A spinning, burning fire tornado rose up in front of them. The huge fire tornado was hundreds of meters high.

The fire tornado began to ravage the entire area, and several young men began to flee frantically. At this moment, they no longer cared about Miss Katoko who was being held by them.

A fire tornado is a powerful fire whirlwind formed when the heat wave generated by a fire meets the cold air, further exacerbating the spread and destructive power of the fire.

This terrifying fire tornado seemed to have eyes and moved rapidly towards the direction where they were escaping.

The breathing of several people was as heavy as a bellows. The poison gas bombs and the high temperature made them all collapse quickly.

The first person to be wrapped by the fire tornado was Miss Katoko, who had already curled up due to the high temperature.

Gradually, several huge fire tornadoes appeared in the city, madly devouring the Japanese who fell in various places in the city.

The fire truck of the fire brigade had already been dispatched, but one of the elderly team members, who happened to be driving the fire truck, saw an aerial bomb fall and explode not far away.

However, such a bomb should have been extremely powerful, but why did this one produce such a violent explosion but only raised a cloud of smoke?

Soon, the old firefighter named Genda smelled a special fruity smell.

"Damn it! This is a poison gas bomb! These bastards actually dropped a poison gas bomb!"
