Zombie Life Begins in Hongxi Village
Chapter 177 Slicing Melons and Chopping Vegetables
Five hundred attack aircraft and bombers took off from the Japanese mainland and attacked Shuri.
At this time, although the Japanese mainland had frantically produced 10,000 fighter jets due to the defeat in the Pacific theater, those were all reserve fighter jets.
After years of continuous warfare, qualified pilots were almost entirely depleted, and the supply of aviation fuel was also in short supply.
Even if the hangar is full of planes, at most only nine hundred can actually take off and fight.
In other words, they deployed the majority of their air force in this air raid.
At the same time, all 150 Zero fighters took off from Songshan and Xinzu airports in Taiwan and attacked Shuri.
This is all the fighter jets Taiwan currently has, because all the fighter jets in the south have been deployed to the Philippines.
Today, nearly 90% of the population of Ryuki live on the small island of Shuri, and most of them are located around Shuri Castle.
The bombing by 650 warplanes was enough to plow through every single building on Shuri Island.
What's even more chilling is that the Japanese military's actions this time completely ignored the more than 30,000 Japanese expatriates still remaining on the island.
Perhaps in their eyes, the lives of these expatriates are no longer important; as long as they can destroy the newly established regime of Liu Qiu, they are willing to sacrifice everything.
This hatred has reached a point where no price is too high to pay.
At that time, Shuri Island's air defenses had not yet been fully constructed and were simply unable to withstand such a large-scale air raid.
Meanwhile, the Royal Navy of Ryukyu's aircraft carrier group, SS Radiant, had already sailed out of the port and far from the waters near Shuri Island.
The Sea Hurricane fighters carried on the aircraft carrier were far inferior in performance to the Japanese Zero fighters.
Even if they fought with all their might, this fleet could only barely handle forty Zero fighters at most, and would have to pay an extremely heavy price.
To engage them head-on would be tantamount to sending lambs to the slaughter. Rather than needlessly wasting precious naval power, it would be better to avoid direct confrontation first.
Objectively speaking, the people of this era are truly the dominant force in East Asia.
It is difficult for a single aircraft carrier battle group to turn the tide.
The greatest value of this fleet lies not in the immediate decisive battle, but in its ability to establish a powerful deterrent force in the East Asian waters after the current regime collapses.
……
On the streets of Shuri Castle, the sound of air raid sirens shattered the afternoon tranquility.
The once bustling market was instantly thrown into chaos. The National Defense Army soldiers patrolling the streets shouted in broken Mandarin, "Don't panic, trust us, everything will be alright." But to little avail.
The roar from the sky grew closer and closer.
The 150 Zero fighters flying from the direction of Taiwan, like a group of sharks smelling blood, swarmed towards Shuri Castle.
The pilots have been ordered not to distinguish between military and civilian targets; the entire Shuri Castle is a bombing site.
Once the bombs are dropped and the machine guns are used to bombard the newly restored kingdom into ruins, the mission will be complete.
Lin Yi stood in front of the main hall of the palace, looking up at the sky.
Dai Meng stood not far behind him, her hands gripping her sleeves so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
Although she knew Lin Yi was prepared, she still couldn't help but feel her heart pound when she heard the roar of engines getting closer and closer.
"What, scared?" Lin Yi turned her head and glanced at her.
Dai Meng shook her head, then nodded, and finally whispered, "I'm not afraid when I'm with you."
Lin Yi smiled.
This woman can always say things that make him feel comfortable, no matter the time.
He said no more, slowly raised his head, and a dark red light shone in his eyes like molten lava from the earth.
Two scorching red beams of light, so intense they were almost blinding, shot out from his pupils like two red-hot swords piercing the gray sky.
The two red lights appeared without any warning.
The pilots who were diving down in the sky only saw a blur before their eyes, and then their onboard communicators exploded with screams and howls.
"What the hell!?"
A laser beam swept across, and the wings of three Zero fighters snapped off cleanly, like butter being sliced by a hot knife.
Immediately following the second laser beam, the two bombers, which were about to drop their bombs, were cut in half, and their bomb bays exploded on the spot.
Flames shot into the sky, and fragments flew everywhere, like two blood-red peonies blooming in mid-air.
"Anti-navigation!"
One day, the pilot screamed and tried desperately to pull up the control stick, but it was too late.
A red light swept across the center of his cockpit, splitting the plane in two.
In his final moments of consciousness, he saw only the sky ablaze with fire and his gloves that had been swept away by the wind.
Red beams of light crisscrossed the sky, like two invisible scythes reaping the harvest.
The Zero fighters, known as the "White Lightning of the Pacific," were now exploding one after another like paper toys.
In just over ten seconds, all 150 fighter jets crashed.
The Ryukyu people on the ground were all stunned.
Everyone froze in place, looking up at the sky in disbelief.
What kind of new weapon is this?
They were able to so easily tear apart all of the Japanese Zero fighter planes that the Japanese army was so proud of.
Then came proud cheers, shouting towards the palace, "His Majesty the King is laden with riches, and Liu Qiu is laden with riches!"
The calls were initially sparse, but they grew louder and louder until the entire Shuri Castle seemed to be using them as its pulse.
They used Liuqiu language, a language forbidden by the common people to speak in important occasions.
This language and the local language share a common origin and have similar pronunciations, much like Spanish and Italian, which are generally mutually intelligible.
After decades of assimilation and transformation over time, the pronunciations of the two languages have become increasingly similar.
Even so, the people of Liuqiu are still struggling to preserve their mother tongue.
At this moment, the words that had been suppressed for many years resounded loudly amidst the cheers of the crowd.
Having witnessed this miraculous power firsthand, the people of Liuqiu's sense of identification with the Lin Yi regime soared to a new level.
Even many Japanese residents on the island have quietly changed their mindset.
Their current status is that of the people of Liuqiu.
The people of Xiao Rizi are inherently drawn to strength, and what might be an incomprehensible shift in stance for other ethnic groups is perfectly natural for them.
Might makes right, so if the new nation possesses such terrifying power, it deserves our support.
Inside the palace, Dai Meng had already thrown herself into Lin Yi's arms, screaming, "Darling, you're so amazing!" and then kissed him without saying another word.
Lin Yi put his arm around her soft waist, smelled the faint fragrance in her hair, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
This woman has never disappointed him in providing emotional value.
