    "Lieutenant, did you see anything?" "No, nothing. Damn we're almost out of gas." In the clear sky, a dozen B-25 bombers were heading west, flying at full speed with the sun behind them.  .  In the bomber, almost all the crew members gathered outside the cockpit, sticking their heads in from time to time to question the pilot.  But every time the answers they got were unsatisfactory.  They have just completed the mission of bombing Tokyo and are currently on their way to "escape".  No one was chasing them from behind. The Japanese bombers were not as good as them in terms of range and speed, but those that were faster and farther than them in terms of range could not reach the same altitude so they temporarily  Still safe.  But they still have another biggest enemy: distance!  The U.S. government couldn't stand being beaten so unscrupulously by the Japanese, and they wanted to fight back.  But in the end, Roosevelt resolutely rejected the suggestions of Marshall and others, and also resolutely rejected the plan to cooperate with the Chinese government and use Chinese power to bomb Japan.  He believes that since it is an American matter, it must be done by the Americans themselves and must be done alone. Otherwise, even if they can blow up the entire Japan to rubble, they will not be able to truly show the world the determination of the United States.  It cannot truly inspire the confidence of the people of the United States of America.  Roosevelt's determination was strong. Once he made a decision, no one could dissuade him.  Just like after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, he was still able to stand up despite suffering from polio and walked to Congress with strength to deliver a speech declaring war on the Japanese.  So, it¡¯s like history.  Jimmy Doolittle.  The best air force pilot in the United States received this mission, and then he summoned the same outstanding pilots in the United States to begin the trial.  The B-25 was originally unable to take off from the deck of an aircraft carrier, but they used their flight skills to do so.  At the same time, under Roosevelt's successive urgings and orders, and with the U.S. government's investment regardless of cost, the "Hornet" that might have taken a year to repair was restored to combat effectiveness in just two months.  Then.  They desperately went south along the Atlantic Ocean, rounded Cape Horn, and then headed towards the northwest corner of the Atlantic Ocean.  Roosevelt said this to Marshall privately: Even if the entire fleet is wiped out, as long as a bomb can be dropped on the Japanese mainland, the operation will be successful.  But this cannot be known to the Chinese.  Because that country across the Pacific Ocean from the United States made Roosevelt feel more and more dangerous and untrustworthy.  If those guys knew their plan, who knows what would happen?  Roosevelt even believed that if it was profitable.  Those people would inform the Japanese of their plans in advance.  However, the safety of pilots cannot be ignored.  Although the B-25 bombers they used could take off from the Hornet, they could not land on it. After bombing Japan, they could only continue westward and fly into China.  Originally, if the Soviet Union was not so bad, they could land in Vladivostok.  Although it would be dangerous to fall into the hands of the Soviets, it would save nearly 1,000 kilometers of voyage to Vladivostok than to China.  It's a pity that the Soviets are so disappointing.  Therefore, they can only notify the Chinese government after the air raid on Tokyo, hoping that the Chinese government can respond in a timely manner.  Troops were dispatched promptly to rescue their pilots.  But there is another question: How can we ensure the "timeliness" of Chinese people?  What if the Chinese happened to have various actions at that time and were unable to respond to their pilots?  And almost all of China's coast is under Japanese control.  If you are not prepared in advance, it will be difficult to truly respond.  Americans have racked their brains over this.  And just as the "Big Yellow Peak" was heading towards Japan at full speed, Marshall and others finally thought of a solution that was not a solution: Chennault.  They have an air force in China.  Although this air force unit was placed in the southwest region by the Chinese, as the Chinese Air Force becomes stronger and stronger, the Chinese government has set up airstrips in various theaters to facilitate the air force's mobilization, operations and assistance.  Let Chennault and his troops stop during the attack, preferably if they find an opportunity to head to the Chinese coast, and then do whatever they can.   "What are those guys thinking? They actually asked the Air Force to pick us up? If we see land, we will parachute! Can they also jump out of the plane and save us?" Richard M.  Le put his head back from the cockpit door and sat down on the seat on the side of the cabin.  As a bombardier on the plane, he was excited when he threw the bomb out of the cabin and into Tokyo, but now he only has panic about the future.  ¡°We knew before we came that we could?You can never go back.  Mechanic and machine gunner Douglas Redney looked at him, "But isn't it good now?"  At least we got the job done.  " "You heard it just now, we are out of gas.  Miller also rolled his eyes and looked at him, "Aren't you afraid of falling into the sea?"  " "I am a naval aviation soldier!  "Redney shrugged, "Burial at sea is our custom.  " "You are an idiot.  "Miller shook his head, "Smug idiot.  "    "how about you?  If you're scared, why are you taking part in this action?  "Redney asked, "Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle did not force us.  "    "how could I know?  "Miller said impatiently: "I didn't feel scared at that time.  "Haha" Redney laughed. "Idiot."  " "Oops - Douglas, prepare to fight!  "The two people in the cabin tried to soothe their moods through conversation, but at this moment, the roar of navigator Carl Widner suddenly came from the cockpit, and then the tall lieutenant rushed into the cabin,  He rushed directly towards the only machine gun in the cabin. "Fight?"  Have the Japanese caught up?  "Redney and the two hurried over. Redney snatched the machine gun from Widener, and Miller acted as a bomb deliverer. According to the original history, they were captured by Yamamoto Go before they approached the Japanese waters.  The patrol ship dispatched by the Sixteenth Army was discovered and forced to take action in advance. However, their flight distance would be extended again. In desperation, they removed all the heavy objects that could be removed from the aircraft, including the machine guns and weapons.  There was not much fuel prepared. In order to confuse the enemy, they inserted a mop rod in the position of the machine gun But this time they were lucky, perhaps because the Japanese were confident that they would bomb the west coast of the United States thoroughly enough.  , or perhaps because they felt that they had basically destroyed the Americans' westward march, they were a little slack. Anyway, they were not discovered by the enemy ships, so the bombers did not take off until they were within a predetermined distance This allowed them to fly in the air.  "There are no Japanese behind, but it's hard to say in the front.  Widner gritted his teeth, "I saw the fleet!"  " "A fleet of aircraft?  "The faces of the two Redneys suddenly turned whiter. The Japanese have almost occupied the entire coastal area of ??China. Who else can "attack" them at this time? "God bless!  " Miller took a deep breath, crossed himself on his chest again, stared at the bullet belt, and gradually became focused. At this moment, another scream suddenly came from the cockpit: "God -  ¡ª¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that guy?¡±  "Redney glanced at Widner. He recognized that it was the voice of co-pilot William Fitz. However, before Widner could answer, William Fitz had already rushed out of the cockpit.  :    "God bless!  Brothersthe people to pick us up are here!  " "Pick us up?  " " Come and see for yourselves.  This is the grandest welcome ceremony I have ever seen!  "William Fitz's face was full of disbelief andexcitement. He immediately got back into the cockpit without waiting for the three people to respond. "Welcome ceremony?  "This is in the air!" The three of them looked at William Fitz's behavior and became more and more confused. However, this guy's words still made them feel relieved. After a moment's hesitation, they put down the machine gun and rushed into the cockpit. Then  , they saw a sight they would never forget "This time, Mr. President, you have nothing to say, right?"  " Bombing operation commander Jimmy Doolittle looked at the formation of nearly two hundred aircraft in front of him and sighed. He was familiar with those aircraft, F4F "Wildcat", F6F "Hellcat",  And the Soviet TB-3 Tupolev heavy bombers! Obviously, Chennault brought more than just the US Air Force to China! "Help me tell them, we express our gratitude to them on behalf of the United States.  "Doolittle sighed again. Even an experienced pilot like him was shocked by the Chinese hand. In any case, the sight of two hundred planes flying towards him at the same time made him  Unforgettable. ¡°Yes, Lieutenant Colonel.  "Henry Porter, the navigator and telegraph operator on the side, immediately started tinkering with the telegraph machine, and after a burst of "yes" sounds, the U.S. Army lieutenant raised his head with a wry smile. "What's wrong?  "Seeing the expressions of his men, Doolittle asked while carefully controlling the plane. "General Chennault is in the formation on the opposite side. He asked me to tell you that we cannot represent the United States, and I am afraid that just thanking you cannot  Satisfy Chinese appetite.  ¡± &nbsp"WHAT?" Doolittle was stunned, "Satisfyappetite?" "This time the Chinese not only dispatched dozens of fighter jets to cooperate with our aviation task force in China, but also dispatched nearly 100 bombers and an entire airborne force  Regiment to rescue our soldiers who may have to parachute at any time, and in addition, they have three airborne regiments on standby at any time" Henry Porter quickly recorded the code on the paper while deciphering: "China's 3rd Airborne Regiment.  The Third War Zone also dispatched 250,000 troops to suppress the Japanese troops along the coast of Zhejiang and Fujian!  This is all for us, so the military expenses must be paid by us."
