Text Chapter 518: Nuclear Explosion in Japan

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Outside Berlin, large-caliber heavy artillery pieces were entering the artillery positions, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers all looked serious.  ([] )

    "Is this Berlin"

    Looking at the city shrouded in thick smoke in the distance, a young soldier turned to ask his superior.

    "Squad leader, is the war over after we finish here?"

    "After we defeat this place, there will still be Japan left, and then it will probably be over."

    After taking a long puff of the cigarette, throwing the remaining half on the ground and stamping it out, the squad leader continued.

    "This damn fight is really enough. It took more than two years"

    Hearing what the squad leader said, the faces of other veterans around him also showed sadness.

    For more than two years, they have not even returned home once, and are on the road almost every day.  And in the past two years or so, no one knows how many companions have fallen on the battlefield, and no one even knows whether they themselves will fall with them.

    To be honest, almost every soldier¡¯s nerves are tense when they are on the battlefield.

    But now, it¡¯s finally the last step.

    Berlin has finally been reached. As long as Berlin is successfully captured, and then Japan is captured, this war that has lasted for nearly five years will come to an end.

    Although China entered the war later than Britain, France, Germany and other countries, and even later than the United States, they have really fought enough.

    "No matter what, we have finally reached the last step. I must live until the end"

    Looking at Berlin in the distance, a veteran took out a jade Buddha statue from his collar and prayed sincerely.

    Although China entered the war later than other countries, it can even be said to be the latest country to participate in the war among all major countries.  However, since China's battlefields are all over the world, from Asia to Europe, and even to Oceania, China's losses are not small.

    So far, there are only rough statistics, but the Ministry of National Defense believes that the number of soldiers killed on the battlefield in the past two years has approached one million, and the number of casualties is even more shocking.

    Therefore, no one can guarantee that they will not die inexplicably on the battlefield, the same.  No one wants to fall on the battlefield when the war is about to end.

    Therefore, at this time, almost everyone's heart is filled with the desire to survive.

    On the other hand, it is precisely for this reason.  Cai E and other commanders above were a little worried.  After all, the war is coming to an end, and the minds that were originally heated by the war are beginning to calm down. Some officers have begun to react to Cai E and others as they get closer and closer to Berlin.  Many soldiers became timid during the war.

    This is not a good phenomenon, and Cai E and others are also very concerned about this issue.  However, they don't have any better solutions. After all, this is a very reasonable mentality.  Fortunately, the war has become a foregone conclusion at this time, and there is no need to worry about any adverse effects on the outcome of the war.

    In fact, in the past few months, this sentiment has generally appeared among the lower-level troops.  However, the troops advanced very quickly. In early 1944, they had already advanced to the area near Berlin. The German troops responsible for interception were all defeated by the troops commanded by Cai E.

    On the other hand, Patton, Eisenhower and others also made rapid progress. In a few months, they basically liberated the entire France. In the end, they rushed directly to Berlin. Now they are only more than 100 kilometers away from Berlin.  That¡¯s all.

    And now, Americans don¡¯t ask for anything to enter Berlin first.  All I want is to enter Berlin with the Chinese.  Lest all the scenery be taken away by the Chinese.

    After all, in the current situation, it is really unrealistic to enter Berlin before the Chinese. On the contrary, it is easier to enter Berlin with the Chinese.  Judging from the current situation, the American idea is not impossible to realize, or it is very likely to be realized.

    Because although the German resistance is very tenacious, after all, the Americans are only more than a hundred kilometers away from Berlin.  On the other hand, the Chinese have already arrived at Berlin.  However, Berlin's own defense strength is still relatively strong, especially in urban warfare.  It was a war like a meat grinder, and with Hitler's character, the possibility of surrender was extremely small.

    So before the Chinese took over Berlin.  The probability that the Americans and their allies would arrive was extremely high.

    By that time, even if the Allies only catch up to the end, they will be able to share the honor of entering Berlin with China¡ª¡ªIf nothing unexpected happens, this American idea is really likely to be realized.

      However, there is such a thing as accident in this world

    Atomic bomb¡­

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    "I finally have to do this"

    Standing at the airport of the Beijing Military Region, looking at the H40 bomber carrying two special weapons, Yan Guang said with emotion but no regrets.

    At this time, Yan Guang was already very clear that following his orders, hundreds of thousands of people would soon pay a huge price because of these two 'little things' in front of him, but he had no regrets.

    Because as early as thirty years ago, he had already known that if he wanted to reduce the casualties in the attack on Japan, he must use this weapon.

    If such a thing is used, perhaps hundreds of thousands of people will die in Japan, but if it is not used, the National Defense Force itself will have to pay a price of millions.  Moreover, in the course of the war, Japan itself will also pay a huge price. These costs include not only soldiers, but also civilians. Of course, Yan Guang does not sympathize with these civilians, because Japan's war is precisely supported by these civilians.  Yes, those soldiers who are full of bestiality are also selected from these civilians

    Perhaps in future generations, some people with a Holy Mother heart will ask Yan Guang why he didn¡¯t choose a method that had the best of both worlds and a method that would not involve killing

    But if he could survive to that day, Yan Guang would definitely disdain him.

    ?Perhaps in some future movies and even animations, a magical protagonist will appear to reduce the disasters caused by war through bloodless methods.  But after all, that is only something that appears on the screen. In real history, this situation is simply impossible.

    What will emerge is just a more brutal and bloody fact than the last.

    So even if countless people will scold him one day in the future, Yan Guang will still not regret it

    "Then, President. Let's step back for now"

    Watching the two most primitive atomic bombs being pushed out from a closed warehouse made of lead by soldiers who looked like astronauts, Feng Nan said to Yan Guang from the side.

    By this time nuclear radiation had been discovered.  So looking at the two atomic bombs at such a close distance, Feng Nan and the surrounding officers and officials were somewhat uncomfortable. After all, they contained deadly atomic bombs.

    Although Feng Nan himself can be regarded as walking away from the battlefield step by step, he still maintains a respectful attitude towards such things.

    "All right¡­"

    ??Looking at the people around me, it seems that they want to stay away from this thing.  Yan Guang could only nod helplessly.

    "Then let's go further"

    He is not really worried about radiation. After all, no matter how terrifying this thing is, it is not so terrifying that it can kill people in a blink of an eye.

    What really made Yan Guang feel uncomfortable was the atomic bomb itself.

    Although we know that atomic bombs are not like ordinary ammunition that will explode if dropped casually.  There is no special activation method. This thing is basically very safe.  But just thinking about the power of this thing, Yan Guang felt uncomfortable just standing near it.

    ¡° If this was not the debut of the atomic bomb, and the target of the bombing was still Japan, otherwise Yan Guang would not have made himself uncomfortable and came here.

    Not long after, Yan Guang and other government officials left the distance, and the soldiers at the base on the other side also sent two atomic bombs into a bomber - after all, they were two targets, which was not good.  Let a bomber make two separate trips.

    That would not only waste time.  And it is also very likely that the bombing operation failed because it was shot down by the Japanese.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Under the eyes of Yan Guang and others.  Two bombers took off from the airport's runway and flew in the direction of Japan.

    On the command tower, Yan Guang and others were also silently praying that their operation would go smoothly.

    Since this operation was as careful as possible, the two bombers were not escorted by fighter jets - if a large number of planes flew over, the Japanese radar was not blind and would definitely detect it.  By that time, it would be bad if Japanese fighter planes took off to intercept.

    On the contrary, it is h40. If you operate it alone, there may be no problem.

    In fact, the same is true for the US military in history.  Since U.S. bombing of Japan had almost become routine at that time, the appearance of bombers dropping atomic bombs did not trigger a reaction from the Japanese military.

    It was at this time.  bomber?The atomic bomb was dropped¡­

    Then, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were gone

    As in history, this time the National Socialist Government¡¯s target is also Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  The purpose of dropping the atomic bomb was naturally to force Japan to surrender.

    By this time, Japan had lost most of its territory, including Ryukyu, and only Korea and mainland Japan were still lingering there.

    Because the northern part of North Korea is mountainous, the National Defense Forces cannot effectively carry out bombing and use armored forces. In addition, the Japanese military strength in North Korea is quite strong. In order to avoid a large number of casualties, the National Defense Forces did not touch the land in North Korea.

    Instead, they concentrated their efforts on bombing the Japanese mainland and waited for the early appearance of the atomic bomb so that Japan could surrender directly.

    Huangtian paid off his hard work. After waiting for a long time, the atomic bomb was finally developed ahead of schedule in early 44.  The first one was detonated in Lop Nur. Since the atomic bomb has long been known as a costly weapon, when the atomic bomb was about to be tested, except for a few who really couldn't get away, even at that time  Cai E, who was still commanding troops in the European theater, also rushed back from Europe on a special plane.

    Although many people are aware of the fact that science is the primary productive force, and many people are also very aware of the role of technology in war, the atomic bomb is a bit too mysterious after all, so before seeing it with their own eyes, most people still  I felt a little confused.

    And the atomic bomb proved itself precisely in front of these people.

    When the first atomic bomb was detonated, the color of the world changed almost instantly.

    If Yan Guang and others had not been wearing protective goggles at that time, I am afraid that their eyes would have been blinded by the atomic bomb immediately.

    And everything that followed proved the power of the atomic bomb.

    The atomic bomb is one of the nuclear weapons. It is a weapon of mass destruction that uses the photothermal radiation, shock wave and induced radioactivity of the nuclear reaction to cause killing and destruction, as well as cause large-area radioactive pollution and prevent the other party's military operations to achieve strategic goals.  Mainly including fission weapons and fusion weapons.  Some also put light elements with induced radiation inside the weapons to increase the intensity of radiation and expand contamination.  Or intensify neutron radiation to kill personnel.

    The energy released when a nuclear weapon explodes is much greater than that of conventional weapons containing only chemical weapons.  For example, the energy released by the complete fission of 1 kilogram of uranium is about 8x1013 Joules, which is about 20 million times greater than the energy released by the explosion of 1 kilogram of TNT, which is 4.19x106 Joules.  Therefore, the total energy released by a nuclear weapon explosion.  That is, the size of its power is often expressed by the amount of TNT that releases the same energy, which is called the TNT equivalent.  The TNT equivalent of various nuclear weapons equipped by the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries ranges from a small one of only 1,000 tons or even lower to a large one of 10 million tons.  Even higher.

    The destructive power and destruction methods of atomic bombs mainly include optical radiation, shock wave, early nuclear radiation, electromagnetic pulse and radioactive contamination.

    After the atomic bomb is detonated, the nuclear explosion process will release intense radiation.  After an atomic bomb with a yield of about 20,000 tons explodes in the air, people 7,000 meters away from the core of the explosion will be exposed to light radiation that is 13 times stronger than sunlight.  Within a range of 2,800 meters, light radiation will quickly blind people, and the skin will be burned and ulcerated over a large area due to light radiation exposure, and some objects will also burn.

    After the atomic bomb explodes, the nuclear explosion will produce a huge air flow overpressure.  After an atomic bomb with a yield of 30,000 tons exploded, it was 800 meters away from the core of the explosion.  The shock wave will sweep through everything at a speed of 200 meters per second.

    Within a few dozen seconds of the initial detonation of the atomic bomb.  A nuclear explosion releases a stream of neutrons and gamma rays.  When an atomic bomb with a yield of 20,000 tons explodes, personnel within 1,100 meters of it will be extremely damaged by rays and neutron flow.

    In addition, the nuclear explosion caused by the atomic bomb explosion will create an electromagnetic pulse, and the electric field strength of the electromagnetic pulse can reach 10,000 to 100,000 volts, which can completely destroy all electronic equipment around the detonation point.

    At the same time, after the atomic bomb explodes, a large amount of radioactive dust will fall to the ground as the mushroom cloud disperses, which can cause radiation or skin burns to the human body.  Severe cases can eventually lead to death.

    Of course, they will not have the opportunity to experience these Yan Guang, but the Japanese have a good chance.

    on the other hand.  Looking at the huge mushroom cloud rising from the ground, and the impact blast spreading towards the surroundings.  Almost everyone, including Cai E and Yan Guang, were shocked.

    It¡¯s not surprising. Although Yan Guang has known the power of atomic bombs for a long time, there are still very few people who can see the explosion of nuclear weapons with their own eyes in later generations.  Ordinary people like Yan Guang almost only have the opportunity to watch it on TV or computers.

    And when you watch it on TV or computer, the effect is undoubtedly incomparable with watching it live.It was this viewing that completely changed the views of most generals. Many generals also strongly expressed their desire for atomic bombs and more atomic bombs.  I have not considered the consequences of abusing this weapon at all. If I really abuse this kind of thing, when the war is over, the entire earth will probably be devastated.

    And the nuclear radiation after this thing detonates is not something that can be easily solved.

    But even so, Yan Guang still feels that the opinions of these generals are correct. After all, only by maintaining a certain number of nuclear weapons can nuclear deterrence be maintained.

    Of course, this quantity does not need to be too much. For Yan Guang, 10,003,000 is enough. After all, China's main opponents are the United States, Russia and European countries. One thousand to three thousand is enough. Any more will only be enough.  It's just a waste of maintenance money. After all, whether you destroy the earth once or destroy the earth poetry, the result is the same.

    Although most of the generals at the time agreed with Yan Guang's decision to build a large number of atomic bombs, some generals frowned

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Putting aside the issue of the number of atomic bombs for the moment, after the two bombers flew across the sea, they finally arrived at their destination, the Japanese mainland.

    After approaching the Japanese mainland, the navigators of the two bombers quickly confirmed the locations of Hiroshima and Nagasaki based on some buildings on the ground.  Since the flight speed of the H40 bomber was considered fast even among fighter jets of this era, the two bombers arrived at Hiroshima and Nagasaki soon after adjusting their directions.

    At this time, looking at the two bombers suddenly appearing above their heads, the Japanese were somewhat surprised, because the bombings of the National Defense Air Force were not unfamiliar to the Japanese in the past, but like today, when only one came over, it was really  There are some

    Perhaps because of such a strange relationship, even the anti-aircraft firepower of the two cities did not respond as quickly as usual.  And at this time, two bombers opened their bomb bays in two different places at the same time

    It was with the attention of the people on the ground that the two atomic bombs with parachutes slowly fell. At this time, the bomber pilot responsible for dropping the bombs turned around and ran away, not wanting to see the magnificent scene after the atomic bomb explosion

    ¡°Boom!!!¡±

    Just after the bomber flew out of the danger zone, two mushroom clouds rose at the same time (To be continued)
