Lost and Spy

Chapter 714 Bombing Japan
民国27年，公元1938年5月19日，下午5时。

Ningbo Lishe Airport.

Not many people come to the airport.

Until now, most people still don't know what will happen in a few hours.

Including those local dignitaries.

The airport has been completely quarantined.

Those outside were not allowed to come in, and those inside were not allowed to go out.

Meng Shaoyuan was very lucky to have the opportunity to witness this feat in person!

Time passed in that minute and second.

Luo Liangjian looked relaxed, but he was smoking one cigarette after another.

This performance proved that he was actually very nervous.

The same is true for Meng Shaoyuan.

Having experienced so many dangerous and incredible missions, he has never been so nervous as he is now.

"Have you not come yet?"

Luo Liangjian asked suddenly.

"No." Meng Shaoyuan quickly replied.

"The telegram from Hankou took off at 3:23 p.m., and it took just over two hours from Hankou to Ningbo, so it should arrive by now."

Meng Shaoyuan raised his wrist to check the time: "Sir, it's only past 5 o'clock."

"Oh."

Only then did Luo Liangjian realize that he was a little too nervous.

"Report sir, the headquarters is calling to ask if there is any tobacco left."

"Call back, tobacco is temporarily out of stock."

Luo Liangjian lit another cigarette.

"The headquarters is also waiting for news." Meng Shaoyuan muttered to himself.

Having said that, he couldn't help but glanced at the sky again...

……

"Report to the captain, we are about to arrive at Ningbo Lishe Airport."

"Prepare to land." Xu Huansheng said calmly.

"Yes, ready to land!"

……

"I'm coming!"

Suddenly, someone pointed to the sky and shouted excitedly.

The three black dots gradually became clear from far to near.

Yes, fighter planes are Chinese fighter planes!

Long time no see, Chinese Air Force!

Three fighters, two of them, will soon be on a bombing mission!
On the ground, everyone looked up and waited.

The fighter plane circled a few times in the air, and then began to land.

Someone started screaming and waving towards the sky.

"Confused!"

Meng Shaoyuan ignored the officer by his side: "Do you want everyone to know about the yelling?"

Luo Liangjian reacted immediately: "Meng Shaoyuan!"

"To!"

"You are responsible for maintaining order yourself! Guo Yantang, your people follow Meng Shaoyuan's command!"

"Yes!"

……

1938年5月19日15时23分，三架飞机由汉口王家墩机场起飞。

At 5:38, the plane landed safely at Ningbo Lishe Airport.

Aircraft number: 1403, 1404!
After replenishing their fuel, they will fly into the sky again!
When the plane landed, it was the heroic Chinese Air Force who came down from the hatch!

Xu Huansheng, Tong Yanbo...Chen Guangdou, Wu Ji...

History must always remember the names of these people.

These heroes who have long put life and death aside and took it as their duty to maintain the Chinese Air Force!

There were no flowers and no applause to greet them.

"Report, Xu Huansheng, the commander of the special bombing squadron of the Chinese Air Force, arrived safely at Ningbo Airport at 5:19 pm on May 5!"

The high-spirited Xu Huansheng stood up straight.

"Thanks for your hard work." Luo Liangjian nodded: "Now, you all go to eat and rest immediately, and wait for the take-off order!"

"Yes!"

"Meng Shaoyuan!"

"To!"

"You are personally responsible for their safety!"

"understand!"

This is also Meng Shaoyuan's most resounding answer.

Luo Liangjian immediately said: "Generate the headquarters, the tobacco has arrived!"

……

Meng Shaoyuan, director of the Shanghai Special Office of the Military Command, public enemy of Japan, and the strongest agent on the surface.

But now, the mighty director Meng is acting as a logistics and sentry.

He was the first to taste the food the pilots ate.

After ensuring that there is no problem, it can be served to the pilot after 15 minutes.

Then, he had to stand aside and wait.

Perhaps, the pilots will have requests at any time.

I don't know how those Meng Shaoyuan's enemies will feel after seeing this scene.

Meng Shaoyuan himself didn't care at all.

On the contrary, he felt that this time was the most proud one in the future among all the missions he had performed!
"Ningbo is quite peaceful."

Xu Huansheng said casually: "At first, I thought that there would be Japanese spies waiting for the opportunity to destroy it when it was close to Shanghai."

"No." Meng Shaoyuan replied: "Ningbo has always been very peaceful. There are basically no Japanese spies, and some are just a few small fish and shrimp. You can sleep in peace for a while."

"Ah, so, your surname is Meng?"

"Yes."

"You're going to take care of us?"

"That's right, I'm in charge of logistics. The officer has specially ordered me to take care of your food, drink and rest. If you need anything, just ask me."

"Thanks for your hard work."

……

These pilots, after eating, were immediately arranged into a special single dormitory for rest.

Meng Shaoyuan carefully checked every door, and set up sentries for all of them, and repeatedly ordered that before the order from the headquarters arrived, even if the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu came, they were not allowed to disturb them.

Afterwards, he made a pot of tea by himself, took a chair, and sat directly at the gate.

"Good guy, you look like a door god." Guo Yantang, who was performing the mission with him, joked.

"Yes, today I will be the door god."

Meng Shaoyuan took a sip of tea and said happily...

……

When the pilots were greeted at the airport, there was no idle time outside the airport either.

Military command agents, death squads, and security teams were all mobilized to assist in monitoring and protecting the safety of the airport periphery.

These people still don't know what important person came to the airport until now.

They also speculate privately.

Some people even boldly guessed whether the chairman of the committee has come to Ningbo?
But anyway, no matter who came, anyway, this is an order from Director Meng...

……

Meng Shaoyuan was in high spirits, and he didn't feel tired at all.

Suddenly, the phone next to him rang.

Meng Shaoyuan quickly answered the phone: "I'm Meng Shaoyuan...Yes, yes, I understand."

Hanging up the phone, he stood up.

Knocked on a door behind him:

"Order, assemble!"

With that said, all the doors were opened!
Now, it is 5 o'clock at night on May 19th!
……

Everyone is waiting.

The air seems to have frozen!

Luo Liangjian didn't know how many cigarettes he had smoked today.

The preparations are all done.

Pilots are ready to go!

Now, what we have to wait for is the final order from the headquarters!
Not a single person spoke.

Suddenly, the door of the office was pushed open, and Luo Liangjian's secretary hurried in:

"HQ call!"

"Read!"

"Execute the mission now!"

Luo Liangjian stood up with a "huh":
"Execute the mission now!"

……

In the 27th year of the Republic of China, on May 1938, 5, the headquarters issued the final order to carry out the mission.

At 23:48, two Martin-1403WC bombers 1404 and 139 took off from Lishe Airport in Ningbo, Zhejiang, and carried out the mission of bombing Japan!

At the airport, everyone watched the plane take off and vacated.

In the sky, it carries the expectations of countless Chinese people!

Meng Shaoyuan raised his hand and respectfully saluted Lan Tian with a military salute!
……

Two proud Silver Eagles have taken off!
Goal, Japan!
After sailing from Ningbo, the fleet carrying 100 million leaflets turned south, and then headed for Japan's Kyushu Island.

At 5:20 a.m. on May 2, the plane arrived over Kyushu Island, Japan.

"According to the chart, the city below is Nagasaki!"

"Ready to bomb!"

"Bomb preparation is complete!"

The plane began to lower the altitude!
The crew's correspondents Chen Guangdou and Wu Jichong immediately moved out the sacks filled with leaflets in their tail cabins.

When the plane dropped to 3500 meters, Xu Huansheng said calmly:
"bomb!"

"bomb!"

Leaflets were thrown from the square gun holes under the deck like white bombs, and they floated towards Japanese territory one after another.

Afterwards, the two-aircraft formation started from Nagasaki and flew in a large arc to the north. It arrived over Fukuoka at 3:45, and dropped the flares while spreading the leaflets.

At 4:32, the formation flew over Kitakyushu and dropped all the remaining leaflets.

The role of flares is undoubtedly obvious.

Some Japanese who got up early in the morning quickly noticed something strange.

The owner of a sushi restaurant in Nagasaki, Japan opened the door and suddenly found leaflets everywhere in front of the door.

The leaflets are printed with Chinese and Japanese text:
"Your country invaded China, and the crime is serious. No matter how bad you are, a million leaflets will become a thousand tons of bombs, and you will stop it."

Nagasaki is located in Kyushu, Japan, thousands of miles away from the mainland of China. Only airplanes can fly across the ocean. So many leaflets were dropped in Nagasaki, and the Japanese who understood it instantly panicked for a while.

Until this time, Japan's air defense department woke up from a dream and implemented a blackout in Fukuoka. The whole city was dark, and the ground anti-aircraft artillery also opened fire violently.

However, the two planes were allowed to leave Japanese airspace and go to sea, and returned successfully.

The Japanese security department immediately conducted a search within the jurisdiction and handed over the leaflets to the Yatsushirogi factory of "Oji Paper" for testing, confirming that the leaflets were indeed from China.

When the news came out, the local people panicked and expressed doubts about what the authorities said was "the defense of Japan's homeland is impenetrable."

Although the air strikes called "paper bombing" and "humanitarian expedition" did not change Japan's aggression against China, it completely broke the false statement that "the sacred airspace of Japan is inviolable".

This is the first time in history that Japan has been attacked by foreign aircraft.

……

"This is all our Chinese Air Force can do!"

Meng Shaoyuan told his subordinates in the future: "Our strength can only carry paper bombs. If we can carry real bombs and directly bomb the Japanese mainland, it may change the outcome of the war."

But this is enough.

The Chinese Air Force, which was almost destroyed, and their heroic Chinese Air Force pilots have completed an incredible miracle.

This will bring a huge shock to the Japanese.This shows that the Chinese Air Force is still fighting, and the Chinese Air Force has the ability to directly bomb the Japanese mainland!
China will never surrender!
