Volume 2 Setting the Sail, Chapter 38 to 39 Chapter 1153 Tokyo Nuclear Explosion

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Boom!" At 0:38 in the morning on August 15, 1946, a huge explosion sounded in Tokyo, Japan.

    The huge explosions and vibrations woke up everyone on the planet from their sleep.  Especially the people on the Japanese island screamed that an earthquake was coming and fled to the open space one after another.

    ¡°Then they saw the direction of Tokyo as bright as day, and closer to Tokyo they even saw traces of a mushroom cloud that had not yet dissipated.

    Although it is already late at night, there are still some people who are not sleeping at this time, especially the soldiers on guard in Tokyo and surrounding areas.

    At this time, the three military camps in the United States are on alert. Their commanders all know that a silver platter plan will be implemented at the military camp near the airport, and they are always paying attention to the trends there.  If it weren't for the worry that the Chinese people would notice, they might have directly joined forces and gathered them all over there.

    But when they saw the huge explosive mushroom cloud rising into the sky from the direction of Haneda Airport, they couldn't help but feel lucky that they weren't all concentrated there, otherwise they would have been completely wiped out.

    Although they didn¡¯t understand why such a huge mushroom cloud appeared, the commanders could see the power of the huge explosion.  They no longer have hope in the military camp at Haneda Airport.

    "Ah! My eyes!" Bush at the Yokota base looked at several soldiers rolling on the ground and was at a loss for a moment.

    The airport at the Yokota base was originally a Japanese military airport. In order to facilitate supplies, the Americans were stationed at Haneda Civil Airport, the port area and Yokota Airport.

    The reason why troops are not stationed elsewhere is also to avoid irritating the Chinese people, and even the troops at the junction of forces have been withdrawn.

    It is useless to send troops. It is better to establish a foothold in Tokyo in the form of disaster relief and appeasement.  Even if the Chinese people fall out, they can easily evacuate.

    ¡° Also worried about the attention of the Chinese people, Yokota Airport, which has the largest number of military fighters, was not selected for this operation.  It is the former civilian airport Haneda.

    The Yokota base is always on alert and can take off at any time to cover the bombing mission of the prototype B-47 bomber when necessary.  But when a strong white flash exploded in the direction of Haneda, many people who had been looking at the vigilant Yokota military camp over there in the night immediately covered their eyes and cried out in pain.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of nowhere, it was still pitch black, but suddenly a burst of light was more dazzling than the sun. The huge contrast instantly blinded many people.

    But many people, including HNA¡¯s Major Bush, don¡¯t know what happened.

    They did not see the glowing hemispherical fireball at the first time. They only saw a huge mushroom-shaped smoke cloud that rushed to an altitude of several thousand meters, and then hundreds of fire pillars that rose into the sky.

    The ball of light that shined for hundreds of kilometers lasted for a short time, and only expanded to a few hundred meters before it seemed to collapse.  Then there is a shock wave of more than 40 kilometers per second, which is far faster than the speed of sound.

    The refugee camps around Haneda Airport were the first to be hit.

    Yokota Base is used as a station for fighter aircraft, while Haneda Airport is still under the banner of civilian use.  Relief supplies airlifted from the United States are concentrated there, which also makes the Japanese refugee camps here particularly concentrated.

    In just a few seconds, most of the nearly 100,000 refugees within a 450-meter radius of the explosion center were immediately drained of all life by the shock wave.

    Mosquitoes, flies, and stray cats and dogs also exploded to death.

    And half of the more than 100,000 refugees within 3 kilometers died directly in a very short period of time.

    The shock wave continues to sweep across, although Tokyo is already in ruins.  However, a large number of wooden houses and tents erected above were all destroyed within 2 kilometers from the center of the explosion.  After 3 kilometers, the shock wave weakened slightly, but it still swept almost all the tents.  All the glass within 16 kilometers was shattered into pieces.

    The hemispherical fireball collapsed and released a high temperature of more than 6,000 degrees.

    The light radiation quickly ignited all the wooden houses and tents within a radius of 3 kilometers. Those Japanese who had just woken up from their sleep and were unable to run out were directly burned to death by the fire before they could recover from the huge shock wave.

    And those Japanese who escaped were still not free from the entanglement of death.  Many people died directly from burns caused by optical radiation, and those who survived suffered severe burns.

    Birds such as sparrows and crows that were startled closer to the explosion point were also directly ignited and turned into fireballs in the sky.

    Even outside a 4-kilometer radius, a large number of people were burned.

    And the early nuclear radiation that followed.  Let the explosion range of 3 kilometers become more deadly.

    Even the tenacious creatures such as rats and cockroaches were silent.

    The fire continuesIt continues to spread, and most of Tokyo seems to have once again fallen into the previous bombing fire that was destroyed into rubble.

    The U.S. military station stationed in the port area and another refugee camp concentrated around the port were both caught in the fire.

    Many people who survived the first time cried and jumped into the sea water, but not long after, they were slowly cooked by the rising sea water in the port together with the pieces of fish that floated with their bellies turned upside down.

    From Ota City, the center of the explosion, to nearby Minato City and not far away, Chuo City, Chiyoda, Shibuya, Shinjuku and other areas have become the hardest hit areas.

    On the other hand, the Yokota base in Tama District suffered little damage because it was a little farther away.  But no one knows that an invisible killer is slowly destroying their lives in every corner of their bodies.

    In this era, nuclear radiation is a term that only a very small number of people know.

    And in the following years.  Many people who survived the disaster in Tokyo will suffer from the pain and even death caused by it, and even some items contaminated with radiation will bring disaster to others.

    That Major Bush had a lucky escape and played with his son who was just born in July with the medal he had retained. As a result, his son's intelligence was greatly affected.

    ¡­¡­

    "Yeah!" Truman, who had been paying attention here, immediately clenched his fists and shouted when he heard the news of the nuclear bomb explosion.

    But then, his excited expression quickly solidified.

    He finally realized that the time was wrong, and the word "Tokyo" that he had not paid attention to in his excitement just now was once again dazzled in his mind.

    "Idiot! Bastard! Who can tell me what's going on?" Truman directly turned all the excitement into rage.

    The American "boy" finally detonated successfully, and the power of the explosion was in line with the Americans' speculation. The shock wave generated by the explosion was even received by the American seismic testing agency.

    Hearing the news that the explosion was successful and powerful, many Americans who knew about the atomic bomb breathed a sigh of relief.

    ¡°After all, this is America¡¯s first atomic bomb. It has not been tested in previous lives, so everyone is a little worried.

    But they soon became entangled and regretted that the time and location of this explosion were not in line with the American drama.

    The premature explosion of the nuclear bomb plunged Tokyo into disaster, not China.

    "What the hell is going on?" Truman continued to yell.

    Many people have also raised their concerns. Is this atomic bomb unstable and will it explode prematurely?

    In this case, it may be detonated by inexplicable reasons during the production and testing process.  Thinking of the power of the atomic bomb, everyone's heads were dizzy.

    ¡°We must find out the cause of the premature explosion!¡± Truman, who calmed down, immediately issued a tough order.

    Regarding the unexpected premature explosion of the atomic bomb in Tokyo, Truman could only urgently convene everyone to discuss it.

    "Although it didn't explode in China as we expected, our baby exploded successfully after all, and the explosion was powerful enough to shock everyone!" Marshall said after being silent for a long time.

    "You mean" Truman already knew what he wanted to say, but he asked knowingly.

    "We only have one super bomb for the time being. Apart from using this opportunity to shock China, what else can we rely on?" Marshall said with a wry smile, "At least we must take the opportunity to delay the completion of our second super bomb."

    "But we need an explanation for the explosion in Tokyo!" Truman still raised the key point. No matter what, Tokyo is still American territory. There are not only a brigade of American troops on it, but also nearly a million civilians.  Although we don¡¯t know what the final casualties will be, they are definitely indispensable.

    Based on the layout of the refugee camps and the power of the nuclear bomb, it is estimated based on the intelligence received that at least 300,000 people may die in this disaster, or even more.

    With such a big scapegoat, Truman has been hesitating whether he needs to bear it.

    But Marshall¡¯s words still made him determined. Facing the powerful offensive of the Chinese army, the Americans could only rely on the deterrence of nuclear bombs.

    "Reason? We can say that we were going to bomb the Chinese soil, but there was an error in the map or there was an error in the navigation, and we bombed by mistake!" someone said.

    "Accidental bombing is an American tradition, and this is a very classic excuse.

    "That will make many people doubt the capabilities of our army!" Admiral Jin refused unceremoniously.

    "It can be said that we were intercepted by Chinese missiles over Tokyo!" Someone else suggested.

    Although the explosion was from the ground and from the airDifferent in many ways, but who knows that well.

    "No, it's not possible. It's easy for others to misunderstand. Our attacks can't break through China's defense, and the threat to China is greatly reduced!" Marshall shook his head and objected.

    A group of senior American officials thought about it for a long time, but there was no suitable explanation.

    By this time, the whole world had been shocked by the explosion of the first atomic bomb.
