In the conference room of the Yanjing Air Force Base, Zhang Meng personally presided over the meeting and discussed with the Air Force generals and front-line pilot representatives about a plan for a new round of air strikes on Japan.

"At present, our Air Force's new equipment, Dabaihe Strategic Bomber, has been tested on the Spanish battlefield for more than half a year, and has achieved brilliant results that have attracted worldwide attention. At the same time, our Air Force's accompanying experts and engineers have also dealt with and summarized the various problems that Dabaihe Strategic Bomber has overcome the impact of severe winds, thunderstorms and other bad weather, and has fully equipped the long-range combat capabilities."

An air force combat staff summarized the test of the Dabai Crane strategic bomber on the Spanish battlefield in front of everyone, pointing out that the Dabai Crane strategic bomber has overcome the influence of most natural factors and can be put into the battlefield for use all day.

Zhang Meng was very happy after listening to the report. Although the Dabai Crane strategic bomber was four years later than he expected to serve, it was able to overcome many difficulties and finally complete, indicating that the Tang Empire has truly taken the lead in the world in the aviation field. This is exciting news.

"We only considered the influence of the Great White Crane in most natural weather, but the Imperial Air Force will carry out a strategic bombing on Japan. The Japanese mainland has become vigilant since the last large-scale bombing of the Imperial Air Force. They have built a large number of air defense positions on the local land and deployed a large number of air defense artillery and interceptors. The Japanese army's strength is not comparable to that of the Spanish army. Our Great White Crane strategic bomber is as if it is unmanned over Spain, but it will be completely different if it arrives in Japan."

An Air Force Colonel raised his concerns. What he said was not without reason, and everyone present nodded in agreement.

Zhang Meng looked at Lei Zhen, chief designer of Dabaihe, who was beside him, and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Lei?"

Lei Zhen nodded to Zhang Meng and then said, "Don't worry, our Big White Crane strategic bomber is definitely not something that the Japanese air defense firepower can intercept." Then he said to others: "Our Big White Crane strategic bomber designed a maximum speed of more than 700 kilometers per hour. Not to mention that the Japanese Type 96 fighter cannot catch up with it, even our Raptor fighter cannot catch up. In addition, the Big White Crane strategic bomber has installed a most advanced high-magnification bomb targeting system, which can drop bombs at an altitude of 100 meters, with an error of no more than 100 meters. At present, the largest caliber twin-mounted 127mm anti-aircraft gun installed in the Tang Empire cannot hit Big White Crane. As far as I know, it should be the most powerful air defense gun in the world. With the ability of the Japanese army, it is probably the case at most."

At this time, an intelligence officer behind Zhang Meng came out and explained: "That's right. The information we have at present shows that the largest caliber anti-aircraft gun equipped by the Japanese army is 127 mm, and the shooting height is indeed not enough to reach the Dabai Crane strategic bomber."

"Then there is no problem!" Zhang Meng nodded with a smile, secretly asking that the Dabai Crane strategic bomber of this era is like the B2 strategic bomber of his era, which cannot be intercepted at all.

In the next half day, Zhang Meng and the generals of the Air Force Department studied the specific operational details of the strategic bombing of Japan. According to Zhang Meng's requirements, the Tang Empire Air Force should give priority to bombing Japanese naval bases and destroy Japanese warships and dock maintenance facilities in the bases. In particular, docks should be the key targets. Including Japanese private shipyards, all shipyards that can build large warships for the Japanese Navy are on the bombing list.

Zhang Meng focused on the Yamato-class super battleship built by the Japanese Navy. He originally wanted to wait for the four Yamato-class battleships of the Japanese Navy to become the spiritual pillar of the Japanese Navy and the Japanese nationals to brutally sink them in one fell swoop, achieving the strategic goal of completely defeating the spiritual pillar of the Japanese nationals. However, it seems that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty could not wait to destroy the Yamato-class battleships, and they did not want to take risks. Zhang Meng did not insist anymore and agreed to the plan to prioritize the four Yamato-class super battleships.

Three days later, the Tang Empire Air Force dispatched 48 Th-3 A JF-10 medium-range heavy tactical bombers to Portugal to replace 24 Dabai Crane long-range heavy strategic bombers that were performing missions on the Spanish battlefield.

Twenty-four Big White Crane strategic bombers were ordered to be transferred back to the Tang Empire. The external explanation was to return to China for routine maintenance and inspection. In fact, they were joining with the other twenty-four Big White Crane strategic bombers that had just been completed in the local area and preparing to carry out strategic bombing missions on Japan.

After three days of large-scale maintenance and maintenance, forty-eight Dabai Crane strategic bombers were loaded with 576 tons of aviation bombs ready to take off and go to Japan for bombing missions. Among these 576 tons of aviation bombs, half were high-penetrating aerial blasting bombs, and the other half were large-scale lethality and high destructive aerial white phosphorus bombs. These two aviation bombs were specially made, specifically targeting large reinforced concrete casting platforms in the shipyard, as well as large warships and shipbuilders under construction on the ship platform.

"Tower, Tornado Air Wing is ready and requests takeoff!"

"The tower was received! Please use runways No. 3, 6, 9 and 12. In the next forty-eight hours, the north Pacific region will turn into northeastern winds of level 5 to level 4. The weather in most areas will be clear and sometimes cloudy. The weather will be south of the Japanese archipelago and some areas north of the northern islands of Datang will be cloudy with light rain."

"The Tornado understands!"

"I wish you a triumphant return!"

Under the night, four north-south ultra-long runways of the Yanjing Air Force Base in the Tang Dynasty were lined with large snow-white aircraft. This is the special runway of the Dabaihe strategic bomber, and it is also the longest aircraft runway in the world so far, with a length of 2,400 meters, covering the entire Yanjing Air Force Base.

Accompanied by loud roars, big white crane strategic bombers quickly scattered from the runway and flew towards Japan in the north, and soon disappeared into the dark starry sky.

At the same time, at the Wu Haijun factory in the Seto Inland Sea, Japan, two mountainous giant ships are anchored on the shore, and tens of thousands of workers are scrambling to install main guns and superstructures for the two giant ships.

These two giant warships are the Yamato-class super crossbow-type battleships that the Japanese Navy is proud of. The two battleships were built at the Wu Navy shipyard. After they were launched two years ago, they are almost over the end of construction. Two main gun systems have been installed, and the last one has been hoisted. It will not take long before they can officially go out to sea for sea trials.

Originally, the Yamato-class battleship was planned to start sea trials one year later, but because of the re-explosion of the Tang-Japanese War, the Japanese Navy was worried that there would be more dreams in the night, so it accelerated the construction of the Yamato-class battleship. The workers worked overtime to complete the construction as soon as possible and put into battle.

The other two Yamato-class battleships were built at Yokosuka Naval Shipyard, which was built by Siri Heavy Industry. The current progress is almost the same.

However, the more the Japanese were afraid of, they would come. At dawn, forty-eight big white crane strategic bombers from the Tang Empire flew in murderous intent from the south of the horizon.

"This sound doesn't sound like our plane..."

"It's an enemy plane!"
Chapter completed!
