From ancient times to the present, there is no war that is not a disaster for the creatures, and the people are displaced and have no place to live, but there are still people who start wars for their own selfish desires.
Japan is a very typical example. In order to plunder property everywhere, they launched wars at will, and countless people were deeply harmed.
But after they unexpectedly attacked the United States, they were bombarded by various shells. After Li Mei appeared, Tokyo, Japan, was directly blown into the "surface of the moon". If it weren't for subsequent repairs, Tokyo would have become a "crematorium"!
What strange trick did Li Mei use that makes the Japanese still tremble when they mention it now, and they hate him very much?
sneak attack on Pearl Harbor
In the early morning of December 7, 1941, Japan drove the ship with a plane and arrived near Pearl Harbor in the United States. After some deployment, it suddenly launched an attack on the Pacific Fleet stationed in Pearl Harbor, catching the other party off guard.
It is understood that the US Pacific Fleet has recovered for several years. The US military retreated before they could react. It can be said that this was a perfect sneak attack.
The United States has always had strong military strength. Why is Japan going to attack the United States? Are you not afraid of being retaliated? Japan was also forced to do so because the war in Southeast Asia won the victory. The United States, Britain and other countries were afraid that it would develop, so they joined forces to impose economic sanctions on Japan. Even if they wanted to resist, they were obviously not a match for these countries.
just won the battle and was unwilling to swallow his anger. Finally, after discussion, decided to choose the local attack of the United States, indicating that he was not easy to bully, so as to force the United States to retreat.
is just at this time in the special period of World War II . The American soldiers were depressed because of their defeat and Japan came to launch a sneak attack. The United States has always been a little embarrassed in terms of face.
plus Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor was spread internationally, the United States' international influence and international image were affected to a certain extent. Because the United States has almost no invasion from other countries after the War of Independence , Japan's behavior not only caused the United States to be discussed internationally, but also suffered huge economic losses.
The United States could not bear this anger, so it decided to let Japan know that it was powerful and planned to bomb Japan after the discussion. This would not only save the United States from losing its face, but also inspire the soldiers on the battlefield and increase their confidence.
bombing was first introduced in World War I . It was proposed by the famous Italian military strategist Du Hei. He mainly used bombers to strike the enemy in the air. It was a huge success in its first implementation, so countries around the world began to follow suit.
Japan was the first to start studying this technology and was the first to implement the invasion. Unexpectedly, the United States finally treated the person with the same way. In fact, the United States has been studying bombers for quite some time. As early as 1937, it had already studied the world's first all-metal fuselage bomber.
During World War II , the B17 bomber played a crucial role in combat, but the technology was not mature enough at that time, and it still had many shortcomings. Its most fatal disadvantage was its short range. You must do your homework in advance and calculate the route distance, otherwise you may have no oil when you fly halfway through the journey.
Roosevelt Although he was very tough on the plan to bomb Japan, his technology did not allow it. For this reason, he spent a lot of money to develop an upgraded bomber B29. As an upgraded version,
not only made great progress on the route, but also made much faster. However, at that time, the air supremacy was in the hands of Japan, and it was still difficult for the bomber to fly from the United States to Japan.
solved a problem, and a new problem came again. Roosevelt was very troubled about this. What should he do? Could it be that he couldn't take revenge? He couldn't swallow this.Then he thought, since he could not pass through the United States, China might be a good choice, and he immediately started connecting with China, which had aroused hope in his heart.
Originally, Roosevelt was a little nervous about China's attitude, but when he expressed his purpose, the Chinese side almost agreed to his request on the spot.
Anyone who knows history knows that Japan burns, kills and loots in China. The southwestern region of my country has endured several months of bombing, with countless casualties, the people have lost their homes and relatives, and the country is shattered.
At this time, China and the United States were both deeply hurt by Japan's bombing. The alliance between the two countries can be called the "Victim Alliance". The best area where the
bomber flew from China to Japan was exactly the southwest region that had been bombed by Japan. After receiving instructions from superiors, the Chengdu area of our country responded immediately and was even very happy to start building a dedicated airport for American bombers.
Understand that after preparing for the bombing of Japan, the Chinese people's enthusiasm for labor increased greatly, and many citizens even spontaneously wanted to help. In the end, it took only half a year to complete the workload of the year. Everything was ready, and Roosevelt also began to make plans to arrange bombers to go.
Roosevelt's primary bombing target was Japan's Hachiman Steel Factory, which is an important industrial base in Japan. Once it is destroyed, Japan's economy will be severely hit, and it is impossible to recover in a short period of time. In order to successfully complete the mission, Roosevelt used 69 bombers with a stroke of his pen.
I thought it would make Japan suffer this time, but no one expected that the bomber shells did not even hit the 10% hit rate. The failure of the first battle not only prevented the United States from regaining its confidence internationally, but was ridiculed by many countries, and the Japanese also secretly said that the US bombers were not good.
Roosevelt became even more angry when he heard this. In order to suppress Japan's arrogance, the number of bombers began to increase exponentially, and the bombing was constantly being bombed every day. At the beginning, the Japanese people were still very panicked, after all, the United States was not easy to mess with. But a few days passed, and although the bombing continued, the actual damage was not great.
Blind bombing is not a solution, because the bomber's losses are very large, and the economy cannot be sustained if this continues, and it is very likely that Japan will not vomit blood in the end. In order to exert the maximum energy of the bomber, the United States began to change its tactics. After careful analysis, everyone unanimously decided to attack Japan with one move.
First send a portion of bombers to southern Japan for bombing, disrupting the other party's sight. Then, while it is unprepared, other bombers will be driven to Tokyo, the central area of Japan, so that they can occupy Saipan, Japan. The
bomber will be more convenient to operate, and can travel back and forth without worrying about the range. This move seems to have achieved a phased victory, but the result is not as ideal as imagined. The
front has not made much progress until nine months ago, but the United States has not given up on this action. The bomber costs are high, and the costs of fuel and ammunition are very expensive. Japan has not suffered much impact. Instead, its own economy has suffered a huge loss, and Roosevelt was also in trouble.
Li Mei appeared on the stage
China learned about the dilemma of the United States and had been thinking of a solution to it. Finally, she thought of General Li Mei, who was very outstanding in the bombing war, and proposed to send him.
The United States could not think of any solution, so it could only call for medical treatment in a hurry and transferred General Li Mei, but unexpectedly his arrival really changed the situation of this battle of revenge.
Li Mei took everyone's expectations to the battlefield. Li Mei arrived at the scene and did not rush to make arrangements. Instead, she asked everyone to put down their work and study Japan's strategic deployment so that they could achieve accurate strikes. He carefully checked the situation on the scene and finally summarized the reasons for the previous failure. He found that the inaccurate bomb drop was closely related to Japan's climate.
Once the wind speed at high altitude is higher than 200 miles, it is easily affected by the wind speed. In addition, Japan's air defense in the air has strong capabilities, which increases the difficulty of dropping bombs on the bomber, and when it finally lands, it will be very different from the ideal.
After understanding the situation, he was not idle either. He disguised himself as a disguise and went to Japan for inspection.
When inspecting it, he made an amazing discovery, that is, most of the houses in Japan are made of wood. He walked all over the streets and alleys and could hardly see the figure of the fire truck. A good idea began to arise in his heart. What wood feared the most was fire. As long as he set a fire, Japan would say that every day should not be called "Go to earth and earth".
But the idea was useless before it was verified by facts. After returning to the base, he immediately reported the situation on the scene to Roosevelt and proposed the idea of dropping a fire bomb to Japan. Unexpectedly, he immediately obtained the consent of Roosevelt and Congress. So he only sent dozens of bombers with incendiary bombs to drop over Japan with firebombs.
Although he was very confident in his plan, he could not guarantee that it would be useful before he made a conclusion. When the first incendiary bomb landed in Japan, his heart was tightly clamped together, and as the spark spread, his clenched fists gradually stretched out. When the flames expanded rapidly, everyone couldn't help but start cheering.
This experimental release made him more confident in his plan. The US Congress was also excited after learning about it. After so long, there was finally progress.
They expressed their full support for Li Mei's plan and that the reserve supply must be sufficient. He only needs to attack Japan with all his strength. The preliminary plan won, but Li Mei did not completely relax her vigilance.
Japan has strong defense during the day, and it is very difficult for the bomber to attack with all his strength, so he proposed to install lighting objects on all bombers, and dispatch them at night to strike accurately. When the incendiary bomb landed on the ground, the Japanese people were still sleeping. When the fire started, everyone woke up like a dream. Screams and bombing mixed together, and Japan instantly turned into a tragedy on earth.
Not only that, Li Mei and his subordinates also formulated a very cruel strategy, and they ordered all bombers to draw a × shape when they dropped incendiary bombs in Tokyo, Japan. Is this their bad taste?
Of course, it is not. Some of Li Mei’s things have a reason. This is actually a mark. First, use the incendiary bomb to cause huge fire, and then the atomic bomb can be accurately deployed, which can cause a major blow to Japan.
Finally, when the fire was extinguished, the ground was charred, and after the fire, even the insects could not be seen. There were waves of whimpering sounds under the wooden board, and only the charred corpses left were left, and the living people endured great pain. Japan never thought that the method it used to deal with China was now used by itself.
When a person does evil, God will not be able to bear it. As the saying goes, one retribution will come back to another retribution, Japan suddenly turns from a perpetrator to a victim. Although under the leadership of Li Mei, Japan was severely damaged and the entire Tokyo was baptized by the sea of fire. Many people thought it was over, but he seemed to be blinded by victory and wanted to continue to attack other places.
In less than a month, the flames spread from Tokyo to other places, with countless casualties. To this day, Li Mei's name cannot be easily mentioned in Japan.
Many people are curious why Li Mei did things so amazingly? He has no grudge against Japan, but as an American, it is understandable that he will do this. As a military strategist, it is correct to firmly support his national rights and interests.
Bombing Legend
In fact, looking back at Li Mei's first half of her life, it is not difficult to understand his behavior. This kind of bombing method has not appeared for the first time. He was originally a bomber pilot. He was transferred to the front line at the beginning of World War II. It was also from this time that his bombing "talent" began to be revealed.
On the battlefield, the United States struggled with Germany's continuous attack. At this time, he was still a soldier and had already shown strong psychological abilities. When the United States is bombing, for the sake of pilot safety and to reduce losses, it will avoid local shells, which will greatly weaken the attack.
After understanding this situation, he tried his best to give up evasion. In the end, his combat effectiveness was hit by nearly ten, but the shells dropped several times that of the previous one, and he successfully defeated Germany step by step.
From then on, the name Li Mei began to spread. The strategy he formulated every time was unexpected. Even if there were sometimes arguments, the luck was that the result was good. When
attacked Japan, he was facing this situation. Originally, fighter would avoid civilian areas when dropping shells. This behavior made Japan take advantage of loopholes. They arranged all their elite troops in civilian areas. I have to say that this step is very clever.
But after Li Mei took office, she completely ignored the ordinary people, because in his opinion, when a war broke out between the two countries, the people were not innocent, they fought with the government, so he was able to do whatever he wanted and without any scruples during the bombing.
The war was cruel. Our country was once a country surrounded by war, and countless people lost their homes and relatives. Only when our ancestors sacrificed their lives for us can we have a happy life today. We were born in a peaceful era and should cherish it even more.
