Chapter 1248 Good intentions are treated as donkey liver and lungs
In the air, 24 Japanese bombers came in overwhelming numbers.
It was rare in the past to deploy so many aircraft at one time.
People have become accustomed to it and take shelter in nearby air-raid shelters.
Having lost air superiority, we could only let the Japanese bomb us.
In the air, on board the command plane of the Japanese bomber formation.
Doihara Ken'er glanced at Chongqing below and shook his head.
"Captain! You won't achieve any effect if you bomb like this."
The Japanese flying wing commander still respected this pseudo-general and asked in confusion: "Captain Takeji! What do you mean by this?"
Doihara Ken'er smiled slyly and said, "All's fair in war! Don't drop the bombs yet. Turn back on purpose and launch a surprise attack."
The Japanese flying wing commander praised: "Yoshi! Your strategy is brilliant, General."
Doihara Kan'er said proudly: "Listen to me, General, and I guarantee you will achieve brilliant results."
The Japanese flying wing commander laughed and said, "That means killing more Chinese, haha!"
To show off his ability, Doihara Kenji ordered, "Xiao Zheng! Send a telegram to the Aoki clan leader who admires me, and ask her to send someone to set off smoke signals on the ground in half an hour. The mirror will reflect the light and guide the imperial bombers."
"Hello! I'll send the message right away."
Takahashi Komasa followed the order very cooperatively.
The Japanese bombers came in with great momentum, dropped a few bombs and then left in a hurry.
This greatly misled the citizens of the temporary capital and they all walked out of the air-raid shelters.
Northwest of the secondary capital, on the road into the city.
Two vehicles of the military inspection team stopped under the shade of trees and the personnel got out and evacuated.
Minister Chen saw that the Japanese bombers had stopped bombing and said hurriedly:
"Quick! Get in the car and go back to the city."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Minister! I don't think something is right."
Minister Chen said angrily, "You are suspicious again."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "The weather is good today. The Japs are cunning. The bombers haven't finished dropping their bombs yet. They must be planning to come back in the evening and attack again."
Minister Chen nodded and said, "Yes! What you said makes sense. Let's walk slowly. There are air-raid shelters everywhere anyway. We can hide in them at any time."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, “I have seen the air-raid shelters built by Commander Liu of the Air Defense Command. Although there are as many as 1865 of them, which can accommodate 45 people, there are not many air-raid shelters in the bustling downtown area.
Moreover, the management is chaotic, and the tunnel ventilation, fire prevention, poison prevention, and medical rescue are not in place, which can easily lead to major accidents.”
Kong Ling said angrily: "His father! Why did you say so much to Minister Chen? He didn't build this air-raid shelter."
Minister Chen smiled and said, "No! Your man is right. I will bring it up in the next meeting."
Xiang Chu added: "The key is that Commander Liu adheres to the principle of 'only superiors are superiors and the people are despised'."
Minister Chen shouted, "You kid! I dare not say that. If you want to say it, you can say it yourself."
Kong Ling hurriedly pulled Xiang Chu into the car, saying with a smile:
"His father! You are asking for trouble."
Xiang Chu said unhappily, "What I said is in line with objective facts. Many high-ranking officials have air-raid shelters where they can play cards, chess, listen to music, and drink tea. They have all the necessary facilities."
Kong Ling said helplessly: "There are so many corrupt officials, who can catch them all? Don't worry about it."
Two cars started one after another and rushed towards the city.
Soon, the roar of an airplane was heard in the sky again.
The air raid sirens sounded again and people rushed into the air raid shelters.
Japanese spies such as Takeshita Gunfu wreaked havoc everywhere in the city.
They set off smoke signals and used mirrors to reflect light to guide the Japanese bombers.
At the same time, they pushed and tripped people, broke into houses, robbed them, and created chaos.
Jiaochangkou, a large air-raid tunnel.
Military officer Takeshita caused trouble nearby and set fire to a house.
The Japanese bombers dropped bombs frantically according to the guidance from the ground.
The Japanese planes' repeated bombings caused the citizens to be unable to evacuate in time and were crowded in the central area.
Tens of thousands of citizens poured into the Jiaochangkou air-raid tunnel, and the number of people increased, reaching tens of thousands.
The tunnel air-raid shelter has just been put into use, and its ventilation, fire protection, medical and other facilities are not complete.
Moreover, the management was chaotic and the security was lax. There were no military police patrolling nearby or guarding the door.
Military officer Takeshita led a Japanese spy and wandered around Jiaochangkou, throwing debris on the vent.
After a while, the people in the air-raid tunnel felt suffocated and began to squeeze desperately towards the gate.
But the gate was locked because the Japanese bombers had been bombing for ten hours and the military police who locked the gate had disappeared.
People desperately smashed doors, pushed, squeezed, suffocated and trampled, and thousands of people died in the tunnels.
The setting sun was blood-red, and the last batch of Japanese bombers flew away.
The air raid alarm was lifted and the whole city was crying silently.
A large number of military and police officers rushed to the entrance of the Jiaochangkou Tunnel and were extremely shocked.
Takeshita Junfu saw this scene on a nearby mountain and lit a cigarette comfortably.
He handed one to his Japanese spy and said happily, "Sato Akio! This is my last mission in the temporary capital of China."
Ito Xiaofu took the cigarette, lit it, took a deep puff and said, "Takeshita-kun! I really envy you, but you really don't plan to stay here and wait for the day when the imperial army rushes in?"
Takeshita Junfu shook his head and said, "I have been exposed. I can't stay any longer."
Ito Xiaofu pointed down the mountain and said, "Look! Is that the car with the national flag on the roof the one you usually drive? It has reached the entrance of Jiaochang."
Takeshita Junfu looked in the direction he pointed and said excitedly, "Yes! Yoshi! We didn't destroy the military expedition team outside, but it's the same if we destroy them here. Let's go! Let's take advantage of the chaos and destroy them."
"Hello!"
Ito Akio hurriedly accepted the order.
At Jiaochangkou, traffic is already congested.
Military police, special medical personnel and other personnel are working hard to rescue people who are suffocating in the air-raid tunnel.
The two vehicles of the military inspection team were stuck in the middle of the road, and they were in a dilemma.
Nader asked in confusion: "Mr. Chen! What happened here?"
Minister Chen called a military policeman, who told everyone what had happened.
Nader exclaimed: "What?! So many people died?"
Minister Chen sighed sadly: "Yes! The Japanese bombers have been bombing non-stop and indiscriminately, and we have lost too many people."
Nader clenched his fist and said, "Mr. Chen! Our inspection team witnessed all of this with our own eyes. We will report it truthfully after returning home and strive for more military aid for you."
Minister Chen expressed his gratitude: "Thank you! Thank you very much."
At this time, Tom shouted: "Driver, open the door, I want to go down and see whether it is true or false."
Xiang Chu stared at the surroundings of the car and advised: "Tom! The scene is too chaotic. It may not be safe for you to go down."
Tom said unhappily, "I am a precious American, what do you care about me?"
Kong Ling said angrily: "He took my kindness for granted! Leave him alone."
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "Okay! Get off the car. I hope you don't run into any Japanese spies."
"Long-winded!"
Tom roared.
He pushed open the car door and got out, striding towards the entrance of the air-raid tunnel.
Coincidentally, Takeshita Junfu was leading Ito Akio towards him.
