紫石英号事件中，英国为什么敢一个军舰就冲我方炮兵阵地，这不是找死么？

这个事出自1947年的美国战略空袭调查，67号报告90页。1944年12月18日，84架B29飞到汉口投了500吨燃烧弹。当时汉口应该是日占区。

我查到了文件英文原文：United States Strategic Bombing Survey – Military Analysis Division – USSBS Report 67, Air Operations in China, Burma, India, 1947. p 90Section XI – XX Bomber Command, “In one mission on 18 December 1944, in coordination with the Fourteenth Air Force, a force of 84 B-29s dropped over 500 tons of bombs of incendiaries on Hankow, its only primary mission against a target in China proper. The mission destroyed nearly 300 acres of warehouses and industrial construction.”
