How much impact did the Chinese Air Force's "paper bombing" have on Japan?

In the early morning of May 20, 1938, people in Kumamoto and Kagoshima prefectures in Kyushu, Japan were awakened by the sound of huge engines in the sky. However, the incident occurred suddenly, and the Japanese local air defense forces had no time to respond, and no fighter jets took off in time to intercept, allowing the Chinese pilots to drop all the leaflets and then leave. Subsequently, the Japanese police and military police quickly dispatched, requiring residents to hand in all leaflets, and launched a large-scale operation to seize leaflets in Kyushu, but the effect was minimal.

As of May 30, the Japanese police had obtained a total of 1,520 leaflets. The flyers were sent to the Oji Paper Mill in Japan for testing, and it was speculated that they were produced by Canadian paper mills on the Pacific coast. This number is only a fraction of the one million leaflets dropped, but most of the leaflets did not fall into the hands of the Japanese people. Due to flight problems, most of the leaflets fell into uninhabited mountainous areas, and a small number fell into villages. Since it was early in the morning, most Japanese people were sleeping and did not see the leaflets.

The Japanese government thought this was the last struggle of the Chinese government, but the subsequent developments were beyond the Japanese government's expectations. In Kansai, Japan, not far from Kyushu, many anti-war slogans suddenly appeared. On June 24, another anti-war slogan appeared in the public toilet of the Osaka Prefectural Library, and it was even more shocking than the one that appeared in Fukuchiyama. It clearly proposed six programs for the reconstruction of Japan: 1. Abolish the system of all-people soldiers. 2. Restore democratic states. 3. Build equal rights between men and women. 4. Abolition of arbitrary laws. 5. Carry out religious reform 6. Improve the national cultural level. On June 27, more radical anti-war slogans "Down with the War Cabinet" appeared in the public toilet of Himeji Station in Hyogo Prefecture! Kill His Majesty the Emperor! ?

Under the rule of Japanese militarism in 1938, during the most difficult war years, the brave Chinese pilots who participated in this "paper bombing" not only inspired the whole country with their firm belief and incomparable courage. of the Anti-Japanese War soldiers and civilians. It also encouraged a group of Japanese people with a sense of justice. These Japanese people risked being arrested and killed by the Japanese police and wrote slogans such as "Kill the Emperor" and "Chiang Kai-shek is a great man in the world." These slogans are enough to prove that the significance of this "paper bombing" by the Chinese Air Force is enough to be recorded in the annals of history. ?
