    The hydrogen bomb dropped on Sasebo in the early morning of April 7 not only shocked half of Japan, but also shocked the entire world.

    ¡ª¡ªFrom the Korean Peninsula, Ryukyu, Taiwan, Vladivostok, to Guam and Manila, in almost the entire East Asian land on the west coast of the Pacific, countless people were awakened from their sleep, and then looked at it in the night sky  There was a dazzling flash like daylight, and a deafening explosion was heard.  Even on the Hawaiian Islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, some people claimed that they felt the ground shaking under their feet

    Because the electromagnetic pulse produced by the hydrogen bomb explosion destroyed radio communications for thousands of kilometers, and the mushroom cloud rich in radioactive dust also caused strong interference to all electronic signals.  In addition, the shock wave of the nuclear explosion also severed telegraph and telephone lines, flipped off ships and aircraft, and caused distortion and deformation of railway tracks In a short period of time, the nuclear explosion disaster area almost became an isolated island with complete interruption of communication and transportation.

    Therefore, although at least half of Japan was aware of the strange flash of light that pierced the sky in the early morning, it was not until a full five hours later that the central government in Tokyo, located at the other end of the Japanese archipelago, began to respond from the nuclear explosion.  Near the disaster area, some vague information was received.

    Therefore, His Majesty Emperor Showa Nihiro was still able to enjoy today's breakfast calmly, and then he heard a vague bad news from the mouths of the important ministers who rushed into the palace to see him-several cities in western Japan were unknown to each other.  Tokyo has lost contact, and the specific situation needs to be verified

    Even so, these are shocking and bad news.  It has also caused the whole of Tokyo to fall into commotion, and various rumors are spreading more and more outrageously.  Even some cultists who preached the end of the world jumped out and opened their mouths to deceive, so that the imperial government had to dispatch military police to suppress it.  The well-informed dignitaries in the government and the palace were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, trying their best to figure out what happened last night.

    By the evening of April 7, the cruiser Atago, which was the first to penetrate deeply into the disaster area, finally repaired the radio on the ship and sailed out of the nuclear blast center area at full speed.  After overcoming the severe interference from radioactive dust and electromagnetic pulses and sending the first relatively detailed on-site investigation report to Tokyo, the poor Navy Minister Ohkaku Geng was born.  During the imperial meeting, his eyes darkened and he fainted.

    ¡ª¡ªThe entire Sasebo garrison was completely razed to the ground, and most of the Japanese combined fleet and at least a hundred naval ships were reduced to ashes.  All 60,000 naval athletes, including the Marine Corps, naval aviation team and base garrison, were wiped out.  It is impossible to count civilian casualties

    The situation in the Army Ministry was also in constant mourning - just the day before this disaster broke out, the General Staff Headquarters had just mobilized the 12th Division, the Ogura Division of Kitakyushu, to Nagasaki Port in preparation for shipment to Nagasaki Port.  Mainland China joins the war.  As a result, just after setting up camp, the 12th Division's camp was first swept by air waves and then burned by fire. The soldiers and equipment suffered heavy losses, and even the division commander's whereabouts were unknown.

    at the same time.  Seishiro Itagaki, the field investigation specialist dispatched by the Army General Staff Headquarters, also took a plane in the dusk.  Arriving at the still smoky Nagasaki Port - because the airport in Nagasaki had long been destroyed, Itagaki Seishiro had to take a seaplane - and then he saw a destroyed city and a sea of ??death At that time, the American battleship  Isoroku Yamamoto, who attended the banquet, luckily escaped, but Mitsumasa Yoneuchi and other members of the Japanese Combined Fleet Headquarters, who returned to Sasebo early for some reason, were unfortunately collectively destroyed.

    At this moment, the mushroom cloud over Sasebo has basically dissipated, but the swirling radiation dust continues to fall, making it seem like snow is falling within hundreds of kilometers around - However, Seishiro Itagaki, like other Japanese, followed the usual practice  Experience regarded it as volcanic ash and did not pay much attention to it. Accompanied by Yamamoto Isoroku and seeing the tragic scene along Omura Bay with his own eyes, Itagaki Seishiro did not even have the courage to go to Sasebo, so he hurried back home and reported to Tokyo.  Submitted a report full of personal imagination: "in the early morning of April 7, a big explosion occurred at the Sasebo Town Prefecture in Nagasaki Prefecture. A huge fireball shot straight into the sky and was clearly visible as far away as Kumamoto, Fukuoka, and Amakusa Islands.  It is suspected to be a sudden eruption of an unknown volcano, and there are also legends that it was caused by a falling bolide. I am preparing to go to the Tokyo Observatory to inquire about relevant information"

    On April 9, the Japanese Navy Ministry finally made preliminary statistics on the damage report: the combined fleet lost the battleships "Nagato", "Mutsu", "Fuso", "Yamashiro", and "Hyuuga"  and "Ise", the aircraft carriers "Ryujo", "Hosho" and "Akagi", as well as six cruisers, 21 destroyers, four submarines, two training ships and a large number of minesweepers, torpedo boats,  Patrol boats and so on.

    Among these cutting-edge battleshipsTherefore, they will leave their respective anchorages and gather in Sasebo. On the one hand, they are preparing to support the war in mainland China, and more importantly, they are planning to hold a maritime military parade in front of the "British and American ghosts" to "shock the barbarians" Who knows  He ended up like this!

    At this point, the Japanese Empire, which had spent huge sums of money to build the world's third-largest naval fleet, had lost most of its large surface warships Only four old King Kong-class battleships that were still undergoing modernization on the slipway were left.  There is an even older battleship "Settsu" - this is an antique built shortly after the Russo-Japanese War. It is so dilapidated that it can only be used as a target ship - it can barely be dragged out to fill the scene.

    In addition, the Japanese Navy also lost two brigades of marines, two brigades of naval base guards, a well-equipped military shipyard, about 150 combat aircraft, and supporting ground crews  It can almost be said that his spine was broken.

    Also, the expeditionary fleets of Britain, France and the United States, which have also suffered heavy losses, have also rejected the repeated pleas of local officials in Nagasaki, Japan, after completing the search and rescue work for their own sailors, and did not continue to participate in the rescue of Japanese civilians, but only gave away some  Surplus food and medical supplies.  On the morning after the nuclear explosion, they hurriedly pulled out the anchor, left this land of death at top speed, and prepared to return to their respective colonies.

    However.  While these sailors were talking about this shocking catastrophe with lingering fear, they were thankful that they had escaped from the tiger's mouth. They were even thinking about how to have fun and relax after going back, and how to face the idle people surrounding them in the bar at the port.  , while vividly telling all kinds of wonderful stories about this expedition, they didn¡¯t know many of them.  There is no way to return to my hometown.

    Because the "volcanic ash" that scattered on the deck has already sent deadly radiation into everyone's internal organs

    Shanghai.  Hongqiao Airport

    The scenery of Jiangnan in spring is always so beautiful that it is intoxicating.

    A few wisps of rose-colored clouds gradually appeared from the eastern sky, pure and beautiful.  Just like a touch of rouge on the lips of a Jiangnan beauty.  The bright morning sun shines through the thick clouds.  Strips of crimson colored ribbons shot out, rolling with traces of dazzling golden light.

    Rice seedlings and various vegetables sway in the wind in the green fields, exuding vitality.  Swarms of butterflies and bees dance around the golden rapeseed flowers, starting the busy new year.  A naughty child's kite floated in the sky at some point, tadpoles with twisted tails could be seen everywhere in the water channels, and old oxen walked on the muddy field paths, showing a leisurely pastoral scene.

    However.  With a huge roar, a shining silver jet reconnaissance aircraft dived and landed.  It broke the peaceful atmosphere of spring.  After a while, Colonel Ikhonovsky, who was wearing a flight suit, jumped out of the cabin tiredly, walked directly to a jeep next to the runway, took out a special military tablet from his backpack, and stuffed it into  It was in the hands of classmate Wang Qiu who was sitting in the car.

    "Huh, the aerial photography of the nuclear explosion area has basically been completed. Send these data back and let your people from the General Staff study it!"

    The werewolf colonel, who was once an excellent pilot, breathed a little tiredly and said rudely in Russian, "The long-distance flight is really hard, and we are not allowed to drink in the middleOkay! Mission accomplished! Take me to the airport bar!"  I¡¯m going to pour all the Red Label vodka down my throat!¡±

    While he was mumbling like this, he was rummaging around in the jeep casually, trying to get some exciting drinks, but in the end he just took out a can of beer, smacked his lips, took a sip, and spat it out in displeasure.  , "Bah! It's not strong at all. It's really not something for men to drink!"

    After listening to Miss Sonia¡¯s translation, Wang Qiu couldn¡¯t help but reveal a faint bitter smile on his face.

    ¡ª¡ªIn the dictionaries of most traditional Russian idiots, there are many words, such as fear, rules, reason, abstinence, etc., which basically belong to the same concept as "fart".  Many pilots with very hairy personalities and bodies like to drink high-strength vodka, fly airplanes with the smell of alcohol in their mouths, and do juggling If they are not allowed to drink, it will make them mentally depressed.  His temper also became violent.

    "Did this reconnaissance flight go smoothly? It should not have been intercepted by enemy planes! Or maybe it was Japanese anti-aircraft guns?"

    Wang Qiu asked the colonel casually while instructing the driver to drive to the bar immediately, and received a look as if he was looking at an idiot.

    "Are you kidding me? Chinese little comrade!" IhonovColonel Ski glanced at him with slight dissatisfaction, "How can the piston propeller aircraft in the world today catch up with me? And what kind of anti-aircraft gun can hit the shells to more than 10,000 meters?  High in the sky? Not to mention that a hydrogen bomb has just exploded over there, everything is in a mess, how can you have time to pay attention to me in the sky? "

    ¡­Sigh, aren¡¯t I worried about you driving drunk and flying a reconnaissance plane in front of someone¡¯s anti-aircraft gun port?  Wang Qiu whispered secretly in his heart.

    ¡ª¡ªIn fact, long before the traversers officially used this hydrogen bomb with an explosive equivalent of 20 million tons of TNT, Colonel Ihonovsky had already flown a long-range reconnaissance aircraft to take aerial photos of the Sasebo Military Port and its surrounding areas in order to  This is used as a basis for comparison after the nuclear explosion.

    At that time, in the Japanese navy and army telegrams that the time travelers monitored closely, there was no response at all to the matter. It is estimated that they either did not see it or treated it as a UFO - which is still the case under normal circumstances. A nuclear explosion  Not to mention the chaos that followed.

    "Speaking of which. We have already dropped such a large hydrogen bomb, so the Japanese Empire should surrender too!"

    This time, it was Colonel Ihonovsky¡¯s turn to take the initiative to ask questions.  "Did they send anyone over to discuss peace terms?"

    Wang Qiu just snorted from his nostrils, "Humph, surrender? It's early! The Japanese are still dreaming of continuing to conquer China! Today's imperialist aggressors are the ones who can't see the coffin.  The guy who cried! And Japanese militarism is even crazier than the German Nazis! Just this morning, Japanese Prime Minister Keisuke Okada gave a speech on the radio, calling on all soldiers and civilians to fulfill their duties and work as one. Don¡¯t be knocked down by a mere natural disaster.  Instead, we should turn grief into strength and carry out the eternal hegemony of 'punishing China and promoting the imperial power' to the end!"

    Although Wang Qiu¡¯s words were a bit long-winded.  But Colonel Ihonovsky still accurately grasped the key words, "natural disaster?" He grinned with a half-smile, "the Japanese actually think so?"

    "That's right, it's not just the Japanese. Now almost the whole world thinks so. They also laugh at us because we are greedy for God's merits! We are simply unbelievably calm." Wang Qiu nodded, no doubt  complained dejectedly.

    ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù

    All in all, it seems unexpected, but it is reasonable - the 20-million-ton hydrogen bomb over the Sasebo garrison on Kyushu Island that buried the Japanese combined fleet failed to stop the Japanese invaders on the Chinese mainland.  Further expand the territory!

    On April 9, the Battle of Xuchang ended due to the disunity of the Chinese resistance forces, the internal sabotage of a large number of traitors, and the strong cooperation of the two national governments.  The Japanese army only used one Sixth Division to defeat the 200,000 Northeastern Army in one fell swoop.  The Northwest Army in Yang Hucheng was so frightened that they fled before the battle!

    ¡ª¡ªThe unlucky Zhang Xueliang had just set off from Xiangyang and rushed to the front line of Xuchang to supervise the battle. Several Northeast Army generals who stayed in Xiangyang were defeated by Chiang Kai-shek's "silver bullet offensive". They declared "peaceful change of flag" and defected to the Wuhan National Government.  By the way, a large amount of military supplies were handed over, and even Zhang Xueliang's family members, mainly the famous Miss Zhao Si, were detained as surrender certificates by this group of heartless rebels!

    As soon as this incident came out, the Northeast Army on the Xuchang front line was immediately in chaos.  The Nationalist Government in Nanjing assembled six more divisions to cooperate with the Japanese army in a flank attack on Nanyang, the logistics base of the Northeast Army. It also sent spies to various departments of the Northeast Army and vigorously recruited and bribed many generals As a result, by the time the Sixth Division came from  When the southern front launched the attack, the Northeastern Army was already in a state of complete collapse and collapsed thousands of miles away with little resistance!

    Yang Hucheng, who was originally confronting the Fourth Division on the northern front and fighting a victorious battle, saw the entire right wing suddenly collapse and he was in danger of being outflanked. The idea of ??conserving strength suddenly took over, and he immediately turned around and retreated to  Went to Luoyang - it seemed that he was preparing to follow the example of Dong Zhuo's one-on-one challenge to the eighteen princes of Guandong, and rely on the natural barrier of Hulao Pass that no one can open, and compete with the Japanese invaders again

    All in all, the Northwest Army suffered little losses in the Battle of Xuchang, and it still has the strength to continue dealing with the Japanese aggressors.

    In addition, through this stabbing in the back, Chiang Kai-shek regained Xiangyang, the gateway to Jingbei. At the same time, with the assistance of British gunboats, he forced the Sichuan army back through negotiations, regained Yichang, which guarded the exit of the Three Gorges, and thus basically controlled  If it covers the whole province of Hubei, it can be considered a small winner.

    On the contrary, the playboy Zhang Xueliang, who always had high ambitions but low power, became the biggest loser in this war. Not only was the 200,000 Northeastern Army defeated, he also lost the last bit of territory in northern Jing and southern Henan, plus his wife and small treasury, almost  I lost my pants?At this point, he could only collect the remaining defeated soldiers while retreating to the Funiu Mountains in western Henan. The scene was extremely embarrassing, which was in sharp contrast to his previous appearance of vowing to fight to avenge his shame. He was criticized by the mean press  The joke goes like this: "The young marshal's clever plan is to bring peace to the world, but he loses both his wife and his troops!"

    ¡ª¡ªWhen the news of the defeat of the Battle of Xuchang reached Shanghai, all the time-travelers were all shocked: Although they knew that Marshal Zhang¡¯s fighting skills were not good, they never expected that he could be so clumsy!  I don¡¯t even understand why these 200,000 Northeastern troops could not withstand the attack of a mere 30,000 Japanese troops for even 48 hours, even if they were not attacked.  !

    Finally, Comrade Fang Zhimin, who was very familiar with the habits of various warlords in this era, revealed the secret: "the Northeast Army that handed over its territory and withdrew from North China after the Great Wall War of Resistance did not really have twenty  Ten thousand, but 'called' two hundred thousand! This number is just used to ask the central government for military pay. Exactly how many people and how many guns there are, I am afraid that even Zhang Xueliang himself may not know What's more, Zhang Xueliang doesn't know either.  It is possible that all the Northeastern Army was suppressed on the Xuchang battlefield, and some people had to be left in Nanyang and Xiangyang. In addition, some people in the army were bribed to defect, and there seemed to be assassins at work. The young marshal could escape with his life.  It¡¯s not easy! Alas, guns are not as good as people, cannons are not as good as people, those are secondary. What I fear most is that people¡¯s hearts will be scattered. In that case, no matter how sophisticated the equipment is, even armed to the teeth, it will be in vain!  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
