When the shock wave of the "Big Ivan" hydrogen bomb washed away from the top of Mount Fuji all the way to Tokyo, its momentum was still unstoppable.
¡ª¡ªEven if it has rushed a hundred kilometers from the center of the explosion, the power of the "Big Ivan" hydrogen bomb is still appalling. The clothes of pedestrians standing in the open air would actually catch fire, causing severe burns to their exposed skin. Even those who stay indoors can feel the heat all over. Most of the Japanese-style houses with light paper and wood structures were instantly flattened and obliterated by the shock wave: the roofs were all ripped off, as if they were made of cardboard, and the walls and beams were immediately torn apart and the solid ones were immediately torn apart. The reinforced concrete houses were also crumbling and even gradually falling apart in the fire storm comparable to a Category 12 typhoon. Trees, cars, trams, rickshaws, bicycles and pedestrians were all swept up into the air, and then fell to pieces, or were burned to char in the air, and continued to drift along with the fiery air currents.
In such a highly destructive fire storm, tarred wooden telephone poles on the roadside, cardboard billboards at store entrances, curtains and furniture in houses will suddenly catch fire. Gas stations, gas plants, trees, plants anything that can catch fire will burn. The scattered fire heads quickly merged into a sea of ????fire, and continued to spread rapidly in all directions, burning until there was nothing more that could be used as fuel.
Even if the roaring storm can temporarily extinguish the flames, after the hot shock wave passes, the scalding rubble will rekindle again. The hot and dry wind also fanned thousands of sparks into a prairie fire. Hot sparks flew everywhere, and the metal bridge was scorched to pieces. Telegraph poles crumbled and exploded in the flames, leaving any firefighter helpless.
¡ª¡ªThe intensity of the fire after a large-scale fire broke out. It was already difficult to control, but the shock wave caused by the nuclear explosion stirred up huge winds in the area, and the fire area immediately turned into a sea of ????fire - the wind helped the fire. The fever gets stronger and stronger. Not only that, the strong wind also spread the fire in all directions. Wherever the fire spreads, a fire will burst into the sky. Factories are burning, schools are burning, homes are burning. Everything is burning
At the same time, the slender smoke column produced after the hydrogen bomb exploded has changed from white to red, gold, and purple, colorful and full of the cruel beauty of death. The top of the smoke column began to expand, becoming like a mushroom, and getting bigger and bigger and finally formed a soul-stirring mushroom cloud. Rapidly expands and spirals upward. The height reaches about seventy kilometers, all the way from the ground into the upper atmosphere!
Major General Kanji Ishihara was on his way home from get off work. Although he quickly got into the basement of a nearby department store out of a keen intuition as a soldier, he was still shaken by a heartbreaking muffled sound. He got up and fell to pieces.
After luckily escaping a disaster. Major General Kanji Ishihara used a flashlight to grab a brand new camera from the department store warehouse, hoping to record the scene of the catastrophe. When he stepped on the rickety stairs and ran upstairs, he found that all the windows had been shattered. The floor was covered with glass shards, making it almost impossible to step down. With difficulty he reached the window. I saw the most terrifying sight I have ever seen in my life!
¡ª¡ªThe entire night sky was dyed bright red, and thick smoke clouds had obscured the entire sky above Tokyo. Deadly radiation dust has already flown into the sky, covering up the stars and the moon, forming a thick, dark nuclear hell! On the ground illuminated by the fire, except for a few solid cement buildings standing alone on the empty ground, all traditional Japanese-style wooden structures no longer existed.
What¡¯s even more frightening is that the fires that have broken out all over the city are spreading rapidly, burning everything that can be burned; even cement buildings are becoming obsessed with flames. The flames twisted wildly in the night sky, sometimes getting bigger and sometimes smaller. A series of crackling sounds came from the sea of ??fire. The wind was strong and the fire burned redder and redder. The flame forest turned into a huge flame waterfall, which seemed to hold up the radiation clouds with strange light, reflecting the twisted steel tendons in the blackened remains of the building. Turning the whole of Tokyo into a scorching hell with flames rising into the sky.
Even Meiji Jingu Shrine and Akasaka Palace, surrounded by pine forests, elegant and quiet, with towering ancient trees, were not damaged by the Great Kanto Earthquake. The "sacred areas" admired by all Japanese people also suffered from this catastrophe. It was ignited, like a cloud covered with a layer of flame.
Some people who were lucky enough to escape from the ruins of their houses had to endure the smoke and fire when they ran to the streets. In an instant, they were covered in hot blood blisters. In the end, it was even burned down to a handful of ashes. What's even more tragic are the survivors who were trapped in the rubble. If there hadn't been a fire, these people might have been able to be rescued, but now they can only be trapped under layers of rubble. A little bitThe ground was roasted to death by high temperatures and heavy smoke.
Even though he was still some distance away from the nearest fire scene, Major General Kanji Ishihara felt the fierce flames and heat that seemed to come from an iron furnace. After he persisted in taking a roll of film, he felt his stomach was churning. It seemed that he was about to vomit because of nausea, so he had to cover his stomach with one hand and hold the wall with the other. With the camera hanging around his neck, he stumbled back to the basement to rest.
¡ª¡ªWhat Major General Kanji Ishihara didn¡¯t know was that he had suffered a severe overdose of radiation at this time and would soon begin to lose his hair.
Behind Ishihara Wanji, the bright flame waterfall has risen to the sky, turning into a mountain of red flames. Countless golden snakes are dancing throughout the entire Tokyo city, creating large areas of hot scorched earth and piles of rubble. There were piles of curled up and charred corpses.
However, the disaster that befell this city with a population of seven million has only just begun
¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù
The ancients said: "The water is deep and the fire is hot."
When the atmosphere over half of eastern Japan was stirred and churned by the power of the hydrogen bomb for nearly an hour, raindrops began to fall in the nuclear explosion zone with a radius of hundreds of kilometers centered on Mount Fuji - a mushroom cloud belt that was rising. Water vapor going up. It's enough to condense into raindrops at high altitudes, and then stick to countless deadly radioactive dust. It splashed down, contrasting with the mushroom clouds that turned the sky red.
As a result, the people on the ground who were being burned by the sea of ??fire and heat wave saw a stream of sticky black raindrops falling down, exuding a strange smell and carrying a strange touch - this wave looked mysterious and terrifying, almost supernatural. The "black rain" scared the survivors out of their wits, looking at this abnormal black rain. They all suspected it was some kind of poisonous oil that stuck to their skin and slowly killed them. But there are also some people who have already suffered from the smoke and fire and are extremely thirsty, but they drink the high-radiation rainwater with their mouths open regardless of the pain.
This extremely deadly black rain, which made people feel like the end of the world, continued for more than ten minutes before turning into a misty yellow drizzle, spreading to the northwest with the wind, but it was still far from extinguishing the fire in the city. . And a large amount of radioactive dust was trapped in the rain. Even tens of millions of Japanese in almost the entire Kanto Plain were sentenced to deathor in other words, suspended death
The Emperor's Imperial Palace, located in the center of Tokyo, also did not escape this disaster - the bedroom of Emperor Showa Hirohito was overturned by the shock wave at the first opportunity, and the Emperor and his wife, who had just gone to bed, were unfortunately crushed under the rubble. Fortunately, one advantage of traditional Japanese-style architecture is that the building materials are generally light and thin, and even if they collapse, they will probably not be able to crush anyone. So the emperor and the empress finally escaped with only some superficial injuries.
After they were picked out by the surviving attendants and maids, everyone immediately sent the emperor and his wife into the basement of the Royal Library (Royal Library), the strongest building in the palace, thus avoiding the possibility of being picked up. The fire that burned down the city and the rain of radiation
In fact, the Imperial Palace is full of combustible materials. It was also ignited in the terrifying fire storm. Although the surviving attendants and the Praetorian Guardsmen worked bravely to put out the fire together, using sacks to put out the raging flames. Cutting down the burning carved beams and paintings, saving valuable cultural relics from the smoky palace But they still couldn't prevent most of the palace from being reduced to ashes, and even one by one was burned to death or suffocated in the fire.
So, when the frightened Emperor Hirohito emerged from the basement wrapped in bandages at dawn, he still had to face an extremely cruel reality - Tokyo, the "first city in the world" during the Tokugawa shogunate era, had already It was reduced to a desolate ruins!
¡ª¡ªThe tall buildings that were once lined up in the urban area collapsed in an instant, making the whole of Tokyo suddenly become low and empty. Hundreds of thousands of citizens were reduced to charcoal in the fire. The pungent stench of burnt human flesh filled the air. No one knows how many living lives were once contained in those piles and patches of ashes And in many remote neighborhoods, the fire is still burning, and Tokyo firefighters have long declared that they are powerless. Because the water and electricity supply were all cut off, even the fire trucks had difficulty starting for some reason.
The originally chaotic slums with numerous shacks were "cleared" into a flat land with a very good view. Standing there, you can almost see for several kilometers at a glance. There are only some charred remains on the ground that you don't know what they were originally. Through the diffuse smoke, you can still see some distressed citizens, still lingering on the ruins that smell of burnt and dead bodies, trying hard to find something - maybe to collect the corpses of their relatives, but the bigger Probably trying to find something they could use since they had nothing left.
More people stood silently among the ashes and rubble, like zombies, just staring blankly at their disappeared homes, not knowing what to say or what to do. Their tears had long since dried up. Their spirits have long been numb
The surviving military officers, police and officials in the disaster area, after the initial panic, began to try to establish some order in the chaos. On the one hand, they severely suppressed the market and directly executed all thugs who took advantage of the fire; Citizens organized themselves to clear the ruined roads strewn with rubble, while searching for new corpses, survivors, and all usable items in the rubble.
¡ª¡ªAt this moment, Tokyoites can only rely on themselves to survive the difficulties.
After experiencing such a catastrophe, Tokyo's wired telephones and telegraphs were naturally disconnected, radios also failed, and railway and road transportation were also interrupted. It makes Tokyo seem like an isolated island. It also caused His Majesty the Emperor to lose contact with the outside world for a while. But only the tragedy that the emperor could see in his field of vision was the loss of Tokyo. It has brought the entire Japanese Empire to its knees.
The Emperor never thought that one day he would see the current scene, a Tokyo completely reduced to ruins. The most prosperous city in the Japanese Empire was destroyed in this way. Under the powerful force that shook the world, the hard work of the Japanese people over the past hundreds of years became meaningless in an instant.
In addition, there must have been more towns closer to Mount Fuji than Tokyo that were destroyed, and at the same time, the empire's dream of pursuing world hegemony was destroyed. All the country's achievements since the Meiji Restoration were in vain.
In an instant, Emperor Hirohito felt despair. It seemed as if the imperial hegemony of the past had all come to nothing, and all those heroic words had become a joke. The noisy crowds, roaring sounds and continuous fireworks around the palace walls, as well as the Japanese archipelago, which was suffering from catastrophe, seemed to have nothing to do with him. He just looked at the destroyed city with a dull expression, and an ominous thought came to his mind:
"Why? Why is it at this time? Is it because the gods cannot see Japan unifying the world and dominating Asia?"
¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù
The disaster caused by the nuclear explosion on Mount Fuji. Not only happens on land, but also in the ocean.
¡ª¡ªThe nuclear blast shock wave, which is as powerful as a Category 12 typhoon, not only sweeps across the land with a large amount of radioactive dust, razing towns and villages to the ground, but also sweeps across the sea mercilessly, creating overwhelming waves. It hit the coast of Tokyo Bay hard.
At this time, people who are afraid of fires are flocking to beaches and piers in Tokyo, Yokohama and other places. Unexpectedly, even the sea at this time suddenly lost the tenderness and romance described by the literati, and turned into a ferocious evil ghost - huge waves with a height of more than ten meters suddenly set off in the bay, as if overwhelming the sky. Come. It rushed towards the coast at a speed of 700 kilometers per hour, swallowing tens of thousands of people in an instant.
Some people were swept to the deepest part of the sea. Some people were thrown into the air by the huge waves, while others were hit by the huge waves and smashed to pieces.
By the same token, most of the various types of ships anchored in Tokyo Bay were also caught in the fierce shock waves and waves. They were either smashed, sunk, or collided with each other. The fragile port terminal facilities were swept away by the waves. After the violent sea finally calmed down, the entire beach had turned into a huge garbage dump, with roofs, bed boards, doors and windows of wooden houses everywhere, fragments of ships and the bloated corpses of people and animals everywhere. All large and small ports and terminals in Tokyo, Yokohama, Yokosuka, Chiba, Shizuoka, Hamamatsu and other places were paralyzed.
What is even more frightening is that the Standard Oil Company and its oil depots on the shores of Tokyo Bay were damaged by the shock wave of the nuclear explosion. So along with a series of huge explosions, about 200,000 tons of oil leaked into Tokyo Bay, causing raging flames on the water, almost boiling the sea!
So, after all radio and wireline communications in Tokyo were interrupted, and road and rail traffic was paralyzed, even the sea route became impassable.
Therefore, it was not until three days after the disaster broke out that the central government in Tokyo contacted the outside world and reported various disaster situations. The essence of the Japanese Army, the First Division and the Guards Division stationed in Tokyo, were injured after the disaster. More than 6,000 people were killed or injured. As for the number of dead civilians and police officers, they are too numerous to count. Even the cabinet members at the Imperial Council were missing half of them: they were either dead, missing, or seriously injured and bedridden.
For the Japanese navy, this catastrophe, which is considered the "Great Eruption of Mount Fuji", is also a patch-up on their bloody wounds - it is?The battleships Kongo and Hiei, which were modernized at the Suga garrison dockyard, as well as other types of ships with a total tonnage of up to 180,000 tons, were all turned into scrap metal in this disaster, which was a huge blow to the already existing Japanese Navy. With very weak strength, he let out a handful of blood again. According to the harsh evaluation of the French naval attache stationed in Japan: "In less than two months, Japan will soon become a country without a navy!"
¡ª¡ªIn the eyes of many "international observers", the Japanese Empire, which has suffered many disasters, has been temporarily kicked out of the ranks of the great powers
As for the radiation sickness that is about to break out throughout eastern Japan, there is no telling how many more Japanese lives will be taken away.
But in the eyes of the Shanghai Soviet government, which was the "initiator", no matter how horrific damage the nuclear bomb caused to the Japanese Empire, as long as world public opinion still believed that it was a natural disaster, it could not have a real deterrent effect and could not change the Chinese workers and peasants. The Red Army faced adversity with enemies all over the world.
"I have said it long ago, comrades, in order to win the victory of the revolution, the nuclear bomb cannot be stopped!"
At the combat meeting in June, Senior Sister Ma Tong waved her fist again and said, "Next time, in order to save money, we can't get some expired old nuclear bombs to make up the numbers! Instead, we must be willing to spend money. , established the launch site in a fair and just manner, gave the Japanese devils a blow, and invited reporters from all over the world to observe the whole process, so that the imperialist powers can truly understand what it means to 'kill them no matter how far away'!"
