Chapter 377 Arrival at Nagasaki
After a long wait, the time finally came, the afternoon of March 29th.
Three trucks carrying supplies to the airport slowly drove into the field airport outside Dazhou City.
After dropping off the supplies, they waited for the Air Force commander to sign and confirm before driving back to Lai Da.
After the supplies entered the warehouse, the patrol team continued to patrol around.
Several ground crew members entered the hangar and continued to do maintenance work.
At eight o'clock in the evening, at the Dazhou field airport, the hangar door was slowly opened.
Without being towed by a tractor, the two Mosquito night bombers maneuvered.
With the help of the faint light, they glided out one after another and quickly flew into the night sky.
Because the Chinese Air Force's aircraft have never flown missions at night.
And the two planes were flying at high altitude, so the Japanese spies did not notice them.
Two planes were heading for Jiangsu and flew over the Japanese strongholds along the way.
Outside a county town in the Huai'an area, the Zibo Heavy Troops of the Fourth Division of the Militia Division rested for a night.
They were delivering food and ammunition to the national army troops here.
The central army in Jiangsu was having a miserable time and had long since asked for help from the attendant office in the temporary capital.
It happened that the Fourth Militia Division was being reorganized and expanded, so a number of security guards were recruited from the local area.
The Fourth Militia Division had plenty of good guns, so naturally they looked down on their "broken" guns.
I heard that the military attendant's office asked if the militia division could provide support.
The people of the Fourth Division simply picked out three thousand rifles that were in good condition.
They were packed together with the matching bullets and sent to the Central Army in Huai'an.
Although they are all elite and heavy troops, they also call themselves field troops.
They did not go into the county town, but found a flat place to camp more than ten kilometers outside the county town.
The central army in Huai'an was unwilling to do so and kept inviting them into the city.
The head of the militia division who was in charge of the escort said, "Sir, if so many of us enter the city, it will definitely disturb the people.
It would be bad if we had another quarrel with the brothers in the Central Army."
The commander understood that the people from the militia division were afraid of getting a bad reputation for grabbing territory, so they were unwilling to enter the city.
The commander thought it was a good idea and asked the people of the Fourth Militia Division to find a place outside the city to rest.
The people from the Fourth Militia Division found a place and dispersed their troops.
They completely cordoned off an area of one kilometer in radius and no one was allowed to approach.
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening and the people had already gone to bed, so the task was not difficult to carry out.
After all the work was done, the officers and soldiers of the 4th Division faced outward and began to be on guard.
At ten thirty in the evening, the roar of an airplane was heard from the sky.
After a while, two Mosquito night bombers descended from the sky.
They turned around at the end of the deck runway and finally stopped.
Hearing the loud noise coming from behind, the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division, remembering the order, did not dare to look back.
After the plane stopped, Song Wenwan and He Qiang got off the plane respectively.
At this moment, He Qiang was very excited, as this was a night flight.
As soon as it got dark, the town below was basically pitch black.
Looking down from the sky, there is no reference point at all.
Since radio silence was adopted, he could only follow the previous agreement.
They could only rely on Song Wenwan's bomber, with one flying on the left and one on the right.
When they arrived in Huai'an, he followed Song Wenwan's plane and landed from an altitude of 8,000 meters.
He Qiang jumped off the plane and just in time saw Song Wenwan crawling out from the bushes on the side of the road.
There is no way. Our Commander Song seems to be under some curse.
Whenever he was on a flight mission, he would hide in a haystack as soon as he got off the plane.
Song Wenwan awkwardly pulled out two refueling pumps and asked He Qiang to quickly join him in filling the bomber with fuel.
While He Qiang was cheering, he thought that Commander Song was truly a man of great power.
Huai'an is half behind enemy lines. How did he build a field airport here?
After a while, their fuel was full and the two bombers flew into the sky again.
In order to avoid being discovered by the Japanese, they flew at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
Fortunately, there was an oxygen mask modified by Song Wenwan in the cabin, otherwise He Qiang would have suffocated.
He Qiang was convinced. Commander Song always had a way. The Gansu Army had a lot of interesting things.
As a city that never sleeps, the brightly lit Shanghai will be their last reference on land.
After passing Shanghai, their plane continued to fly eastward, into the depths of the sea.
The straight-line distance from Huai'an to the Japanese Nagasaki is about 1,200 kilometers.
The Mosquito night bomber piloted by Song Wenwan, He Qiang and others had a range of only 2,700 kilometers.
In other words, if they were blocked by the Japanese air force on the way, he would have no choice but to swim back.
Two hours later, the navigator Song Wenwan observed through the screen in the cockpit.
They already knew that their bombers had finally entered the sky over the Japanese city of Nagasaki.
They circled at high altitude, pretending to be a plane flying from mainland Japan.
They slowly descended to a height of one hundred meters, and Song Wenwan and He Qiang suddenly began to change to level flight.
The huge roar of the Mosquito night bombers woke up the sleeping citizens in Nagasaki.
They went to their own yards and streets, and all they saw were flyers flying everywhere.
Then a bomb was dropped on the Nagasaki Police Department. At this point, their mission was half completed.
Under the idea that the Imperial Japanese Army was invincible, Japan's domestic air defense system had long been useless.
The gun cover of the anti-aircraft gun was locked. After finally opening the lock, we found that the shells were still in the warehouse.
The searchlight also didn't light up. It turned out that it had not been connected to the power supply. But it still didn't light up after the switch was turned on. When I checked the next day, I found that the light tube inside had been removed.
Then the soldier in charge of the searchlight was found dead in his dormitory.
This is the descendant of a merchant from Osaka. The light assembly in the searchlight must have been sold by him.
The bombers piloted by Song Wenwan and He Qiang were dropping leaflets through the streets.
After a while, their two bombers arrived over the Nagasaki Shipyard.
The two of them acted without hesitation. Song Wenwan led the way, and He Qiang's plane followed closely behind.
The two had a clear division of labor, and Song Wenwan's plane was responsible for dropping leaflets.
He only had two onboard heavy machine guns for aerial combat.
Except for one bomb space that He Qiang had placed with leaflets, the rest of the space was filled with bombs.
Song Wenwan said, we can't come here for nothing, if we want to throw flyers, let's do it together.
The glory belongs to you, and the enjoyment belongs to both of us.
So when they were near the Nagasaki Shipyard, Song Wenwan started firing machine guns.
It didn't matter that he hit the Japanese who were on the middle shift at the shipyard and sent them flying back into the gate.
After having her fill, Song Wenwan flew directly southwards into the sky.
He Qiang began dropping bombs on an aircraft carrier that was being built in the shipyard.
A 400-kilogram aerial bomb containing "system-made" explosives was dropped.
