Red Alert: The Republic of China Text Chapter 663 The Second Nuclear Strike

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In Hanking, General Jiang Baili received the preliminary report shortly after midnight on May 5.  Because it was midnight, he did not wake up Chen Shao and others.  He slept in his office that night so that he could receive a more detailed report at any time.  The detailed report arrived at 4:15 in the morning. Three and a half hours later, Jiang Baili told Chen Shao at home on a confidential phone. Chen Shao agreed to publish a prepared statement about the bomb to the press that morning.  .

    The statement said that a revolutionary bomb had been dropped in Tokyo, which described Tokyo as an important army base.

    "This is an atomic bomb, the use of a fundamental force of the universe. The force that even the sun draws its power from has been unleashed on those who are waging war."

    China is ready to destroy all Japanese factories, rice plants and transportation lines.  "The purpose of the ultimatum issued in Hanking was to save the Japanese people from total destruction. Japan's leaders immediately rejected that ultimatum. Now, if they still refuse to accept our terms, they can expect that  Destructive blows will rain down from the sky. The likes of which has never been seen on Earth."

    In the early morning, Chen Shao invited Hitler and the leaders of other member states of the European Nazi League to have breakfast together.  At the dinner table, Chen Shao announced on the spot that the "power bomb" had been dropped in Tokyo. The clear picture on the color TV clearly showed that it was a success.

    ¡°Whether it was Hitler or anyone else, they could not conceal their inner excitement. This war could not be lost.

    In Tokyo, the mysterious consequences of atomic radiation began to show themselves at dawn on May 7th.

    Former University of Tokyo geologist Shogo Nagaoka tried to walk through the rubble to the school.  He enlisted in the army not long ago.  Worried about the fate of the school, I left the school and walked back for several hours.  He could barely measure the endless ruins.  At the Gokoku Shrine near the center of the explosion, he sat down exhausted under the stone lantern.  He felt like pins and needles all over his body - this was radiation - and he jumped up immediately.  He discovers a strange photocopy of a person on the stone lantern, whose surface has been partially melted.  He immediately had a terrible idea: the atomic bomb!  Japan must surrender immediately.

    In dozens of emergency stations, doctors were bewildered.  The patient's symptoms were so strange that doctors suspected that the enemy had used some kind of acidic gas to spread bacillary dysentery.  Some victims had only one side of their faces burned; strangely, some patients had nose or ear marks on their faces.

    Like Nagaoka, Dr. Shigeto of the Red Cross Hospital had also heard of atomic energy, and he suspected that the patient had been exposed to atomic radiation.  He examined the hospital walls with a simple X-ray scanner.  He found that the reading was very small.  Concluded that it was safe to stay.

    Atomic sequelae are unpredictable.  Private First Class came down the mountain and was one of the people closest to the center of the blast.  Before the flash.  He is short-sighted.  Now, looking through my glasses, everything is a bit blurry.  Are you going blind?  He took off his glasses and found that he had regained excellent eyesight.  But his hair kept falling down.  He also suffered from what thousands of others suffer from: nausea first.  Then came vomiting.  Later, diarrhea and fever returned.  Other reactions ranged from bizarre to bizarre.

    Some victims have bright spots on their bodies - some are red, some are green with yellow, some are black, and some are purple.  But everyone is alive.  Those without obvious spots died immediately.  One man's hand was burned, but he ignored it and later vomited blood.  To relieve the pain, he dipped his injured hand into the water. "Something incredible, blue, came out of his hand like smoke."

    All the survivors felt an unspeakable horror, heightened by some vague sense of guilt and shame: they had survived because they had ignored the pleas of their relatives, friends and neighbors, leaving them  Continue to be buried in burning ruins.

    The painful sounds of the deceased on their deathbeds lingered in their minds.  Parents who have lost a child constantly blame themselves, and children who have lost a parent think that this is punishment for some fault of their own.  This tragedy shattered the complex and intimate structure of Japanese family life.

    In Tokyo, the fanatical army was unwilling to accept the responsibility of surrender, but instead questioned the significance of the complete destruction of a major city.  Foreign Minister Togo suggested accepting the Hanking Declaration, and pointed out very logically that the atomic bomb "has drastically changed the entire military situation and provided the military with numerous reasons to end the war. Today, these four cities, Tokyo, Sasebo, Nagoya, and Yokohama, have completely  Turned into ashes. There is no need to continue the war." The Army believed that Dongxiang's suggestion had nothing to recommend it.

    "This kind of action is unnecessary," Lu Xiang Anan retorted, "Besides, we don't know yet whether it was an atomic bomb." Only Chen Shao said so.  It could be some kind of ruse.  should be done immediately?Sent Dr. Yoshio Nishina, a famous Japanese nuclear scientist, to Tokyo for on-the-spot investigation.

    When Dr. Nishina and the Director of the Intelligence Bureau, Lieutenant General Arisue Seizan, were about to board the plane at Tachikawa Air Force Base, the air raid sirens roared again.  Lieutenant General Youmo ordered Dr. Nishina to wait until the alarm was lifted before leaving, and he took off immediately with a few subordinates.

    At dusk, the plane arrived in Tokyo.  General Youmo has seen many cities burned to ruins by incendiary bombs - generally speaking, there are always embers in such cities, there will be smoke from the makeshift kitchens, and there are always some signs of living people - but in his case,  The city below the plane is a lifeless desert.  No smoke, no fire, nothing.  Not even a street was visible.

    The driver turned around and shouted, "Sir, this is Tokyo. What should I do?"

    "Landing!"

    The plane landed on a grassy field near the port.  After Arisum got off the plane, he found that the grass on the ground was a strange earthy color and was lying in the direction of Tokyo Bay.  The person who came to greet him was an army lieutenant colonel, who respectfully performed a military salute.  The left half of his face was severely burned, but the right half was intact.

    Youmo took a motorboat to the ship headquarters.  What greeted him at the top of the meter was Lieutenant General Hideo Baba, a friend from the Army Sergeant School, Baba reported.  Tokyo has neither water nor electricity.

    The two generals sat down at a long wooden table in the open air and lit a candle for lighting. The horse farm could not control his emotions.  He talked about how his daughter was killed on the way to school, "Not only my daughter, but thousands of innocent children were massacred. This new type of bomb is really like the devil. It is so terrible and cruel to use it."  It's over." He covered his safety with his hands.

    Youmo hugged his friend.  "Remember, we are all soldiers," he said, and the racecourse apologized for crying.  He told Youmo.  "There have always been rumors," he said.  China may also drop one of these new bombs on Tokyo.

    More and more people are coming back to the city.  The team began collecting the bodies and cremating them with random wood.  The smell, which smells a bit like grilled sardines, is extremely disgusting, but some workers have become particularly fond of smelling it.  It actually stimulates their appetite.

    Dr. Nishina¡¯s plane arrived in the afternoon of the next day.  He inspected the whole city.  Draw conclusions immediately.  Only an atomic bomb could cause such a tragedy.  He informed General Arisu that it was a uranium bomb similar to the one he was trying to develop.  Should he continue developing his bomb?

    Youmo didn¡¯t answer.

    The destruction of Tokyo and three other major cities made Japan more urgent and unrealistic in its hope that Germany would mediate peace talks.  Togo called Ambassador Sato in Berlin and said:

    "The situation has taken a turn for the worse, and Germany's attitude must be clarified as soon as possible. Please make greater efforts and report immediately."

    On the afternoon of May 8, Ambassador Sato requested to meet with Andri immediately.  For weeks, Andri avoided seeing Sato.  Andre promised to meet him at eight o'clock in the evening, but a few minutes later without explanation asked to advance the meeting time to five o'clock in the afternoon.

    A few minutes before five o'clock, when Sato entered the twists and turns of the Empire State Building, he forced himself to calm down. He was led to Andri's study, but before he could greet the foreign affairs commissioner in German (this was his habit),  Andrei waved his hand and interrupted him.  "I have here a notification to the Japanese government in the name of Germany, which I would like to convey to you."

    Sato¡¯s instinct told him that this was a declaration of war.  Although this was not what he expected, it was a blow for it to become a reality.  Andri got up from his desk and sat down at one end of a long table.  Sato was motioned to sit down in a chair at the other end of the table.  Andri began to read out a document with a characteristic expression:

    ¡°After the defeat of the evil Soviet Union, Japan was the only major country in the Far East that continued the war.

    The Empire of China¡¯s demand for the unconditional surrender of Japan¡¯s armed forces on April 26 was rejected by Japan.  Therefore, the Japanese government's proposal to Germany for mediation in the Far East lost all basis.

    The German government believes that this policy is the only way to achieve peace more quickly and save the people from further sacrifices and suffering.

    In view of the above, the German government announced that starting from tomorrow, May 9, Germany considers itself to be in a state of complete severance of diplomatic relations with Japan, and will stay in the German embassy all day long, and all personnel will evacuate Europe within three days.  .  "

    Ambassador Sato restrained his impulse and asked, as a courtesy, if he could telegraph the news to his government.  Andri changed his expressionless face and replied that he could send any telegram he wanted, and he could also use a coded message.

    "Personally, he regrets what happened," he said.  ¡°I have been deeply satisfied with your actions as ambassador over the past few years. I am pleased that, despite all the difficulties we have encountered,Our two countries are not completely at odds.  "

    "I would like to express my gratitude to your government for its kindness and hospitality," Sato replied hesitantly in German, "which enabled me to remain in Berlin at this difficult time. It is indeed unfortunate that we should part ways as enemies.  . But there¡¯s no way around it. No matter what, let¡¯s shake hands and say goodbye. This may be the last time we shake hands.¡±

    They shook hands, but almost immediately the phone lines inside the Japanese embassy were cut off and all radio equipment confiscated.  Sato wrote a telegram in Japanese code and sent it to the telegraph office.

    There is no doubt that the bombing of Tokyo made the Germans completely correct their attitude.

    Message to the Japanese people:

    "China demands that you pay immediate attention to what we say in this leaflet."

    "We have at our disposal the most destructive explosives ever created by mankind. The explosive power of one of our newly invented atomic bombs is actually equal to the explosive power of two thousand of our giant B-39 bombers on a single mission.  . This terrible fact is worthy of your consideration. We solemnly assure you that the bombing was extremely accurate."

    "We have just begun to use this kind of bomb in your homeland. If you still have any doubts, please understand the situation after Tokyo suffered only one atomic bomb."

    ¡°Before using such bombs to destroy all the resources of the military to prolong this useless war, we ask that you petition the Emperor now to end the war. Our President has outlined for you thirteen consequences of an honorable surrender.  We urge you to accept these thirteen articles as soon as possible and start working towards building a better, peace-loving new Japan."

    "You must take steps now to stop military resistance. Otherwise, we will resolutely use this bomb and all other superior weapons to force an end to the war immediately."

    ¡°Evacuate from your city now!¡±

    Even before the leaflets were distributed, Japanese newspapers had begun warning that "new bombs" had been used in Tokyo.  "Don't take it lightly."  "The Japan Times" said.  The enemy seemed to be "dedicated to killing as many innocent lives as possible in order to end the war as quickly as possible."

    An American editorial titled "A Moral Atrocity to Humanity" revealed that this new type of bomb has "unprecedented power. It has not only destroyed most of a city, but also killed or killed a particularly large number of citizens.  hurt".

    Professor Zhi Chenggen

    Posted from: Three of your former scientific colleagues when you were in China.

    ¡°The purpose of our personal letter is to urge you to use your influence as a reputable physicist to convince the Japanese base camp that if you continue this war, your people will suffer dire consequences.¡±

    "You have known for several years that an atomic bomb can be made if a country is willing to pay a high price to prepare the necessary materials. Now that you have seen us build the factories to produce it, there must be no doubt in your mind that day and night  The factories that come into operation will surely send all their products to explode on the soil of your motherland.¡±

    "In three weeks, we dropped one such nuclear bomb on each of Japan's four major cities."

    "We ask you to confirm these facts to your leaders and do your best to prevent the destruction and waste of life. If the bombing continues, the result can only be the destruction of all your cities. As scientists, we are very concerned about a  It is a pity that a brilliant scientific discovery has been exploited in this way, but we assure you that unless Japan surrenders immediately, the atomic bombs will rain down in anger."

    However, the letter was withheld and was not in my hands.  Sagagen didn't know about this until after the war.

    Nagasaki is a city with a population of 200,000. Like San Francisco, this city is built on some steep hills.  Its harbor faces the East China Sea.  Nagasaki is a port with particularly beautiful scenery in fables and legends. Especially at this time, there is a slight hint of autumn, and many leaves have turned red or yellow, looking dazzling.  The city center faces the harbor, into which the Urakami River flows from the north.  For centuries, Nagasaki has been centered on this place, expanding to various valleys, including the valley formed by this river. This is Nagasaki's industrial area, housing 90% of the city's labor force.

    In 1571, the Portuguese helped transform Nagasaki from a fishing village into Japan's main foreign trade port, importing tobacco, the arms industry, and Christianity.  As faith in Christianity spread widely, the Japanese government took cruel measures to suppress it.  All the missionaries were either killed or forced to leave the area, but in the 17th century, 37,000 of their followers rebelled against religious persecution.  They gathered around a fort near Nagasaki, aboard several Dutch ships.With the help of the Central Army, they defeated the Central Army and held out for thirty months. In the end, almost everyone was slaughtered.

    However, their faith has been passed down. Nagasaki is still the most European city in Japan with the largest number of Christian believers. Eastern and Western cultures are integrated. It has many churches and missionary schools, and hundreds of Western-style houses.  There are also buildings that attract tourists, such as Glover House, the legendary former home of Madame Butterfly overlooking the harbor.

    Shigeyu Morimoto was rushing back home to Nagasaki. He was a nervous and frightened man.  Just three days earlier, he had miraculously survived the bombing of Tokyo.  In Tokyo, he spent several months flying anti-aircraft kites for the Army.  When the atomic bomb exploded, he was buying paint brushes less than 900 meters away from the center of the explosion.  What saved him from the flash was the flimsy remains of the little shop.  Together with three clerks, he escaped Tokyo on a coal truck to the safety of Nagasaki.

    Throughout the evening they couldn't help but talk about "the atomic bomb".  Was some supernatural force punishing Japan for attacking China? As the coal train climbed up the steep hill.  As he drove quickly to Nagasaki train station, he could not shake off the premonition that the atomic bomb would follow him to his home.  He must give his wife a warning.  It was nearly eleven o'clock when he returned to his shop in the city center.

    Kite merchant Morimoto breathlessly told his wife that Tokyo had already suffered a terrible bomb, and he was afraid it would be Nagasaki¡¯s turn next time.  He described the flash: "First there was a big blue flash -"

    Just as he was speaking, a blinding blue flash interrupted his words.  He hurriedly opened the trap door on the floor and stuffed his wife and children in. When he pulled down the heavy cover, the mountain suddenly shook, like an earthquake.

    In the sky, several Chinese planes began to return.

    If there are no clouds in the sky.  Morimoto's shop, which was just below the original bombing point, was bound to be wiped out.  However, the bomb exploded several hundred meters northeast of the stadium and the Urakami River, between Mitsubishi Steel Works and the Mitsubishi Torpedo Factory.

    Hajime Iwanaga, who was about to turn fourteen the next day, was taking a bath in the Urakami River near the Mitsubishi Torpedo Factory.  He saw the plane drop a black object (a tube containing instruments), which then spread out into a parachute.  He shouted to a companion, "Friendly plane!" and happily dove into the water.

    At this moment.  A flash appeared.  After a few seconds.  He emerged from the water.  The surrounding became a dark world.  He felt his left shoulder was burning, and when he saw it, he saw that the shoulder was already yellow.  He was puzzled.  When I reached out and touched it, the skin fell off.

    It was getting darker and darker, so he swam desperately to the shore.  When he reached for his clothes, two softball-sized blue-black smoke balls came towards him. One of them hit his clothes. The smoke balls disappeared immediately and his clothes caught fire.  After climbing ashore, he heard a companion screaming in pain in the river, "Mom!" He was hit by huge raindrops for a while.

    Fifteen-year-old Taeko Fukhori helps pump water out of a natural cave used as a public air raid shelter.  She was thrown into the mud.  Then she remembered how people had been buried alive in the shipyard during the air raids last week.  She was so frightened that she groped towards the entrance of the cave.  After arriving outside (the cave was less than 200 meters away from the center of explosion), she found that she had entered hell.  The workers working at the entrance of the cave were all burnt, and even their chests and backs could no longer be distinguished.  There was a person with no hair and all black¡ªit was impossible to tell whether he was a boy or a girl¡ªpassing by her in a daze, with only a burning trousers belt around his waist.

    Taeko went home along the eastern slope of the valley to find her mother.  An Army soldier stopped her and said that direction was closed.  She followed the soldier across the railroad to the river, not even noticing that the right side of her face and shoulder had been burned.  For some unknown reason, she suddenly felt certain that her family on the mountain was safe.

    Further up the hillside, near the prison and less than 275 meters away from the center of the explosion, 12-year-old Tokai Kazuko climbed into the unfinished family air-raid shelter to rest before the explosion.  The soil above the hole was two feet thick and it was the hole that saved her from the flash.  She felt something indescribable and heard the sound of frying pork ribs.  She crawled outside¡ªand into darkness.  She was baffled - she thought it was dark - couldn't see anything, couldn't smell anything, and walked away without any purpose.

    After the smoke and dust dissipated, Kazuko found himself standing in front of a crumbling wall - this was the only wall left in the prison.  She turned around and went home.  The house is gone.  Hezi pulled out his mother who was buried under the rubble.  The mother and daughter found Mr. Donghai among the broken walls and tiles.  When he was pulled out, the skin fell off him like a glove.

    There is a 70-bed tuberculosis sanatorium near the top of the hillside, about 1,500 meters from the center of the explosion.  Doctor Akizuki Tatsuichiro is usingA long needle was injected into a male patient's ribs, when he heard some kind of sad and terrifying sound.  It seemed like a giant plane was roaring down towards them.  The hospital was about to be bombed. "Lie down on the floor," he shouted.  He pulled out the needle and lay down on the floor.  There was a flash of white light, and fire particles rained down on him.  He struggled to his feet and was uninjured.  The air was filled with lime powder, making me choke and breathless.

    He was afraid that all the patients on the second and third floors had been killed, so he took a nurse and ran towards the stairs.  Shocked patients swarmed in, all suffering only minor injuries.  He looked out the window.  I saw yellow smoke billowing in the valley above Urakami.  Churches have caught fire, and vocational training schools are also in flames.  The sky is red and yellow.  He couldn't help but go into the garden.  Eggplant leaves and potato leaves are smoking.  This bomb must be similar to the one eaten in Tokyo.  The president of Nagasaki Medical University had seen the ruins of Tokyo and described it excitedly at a meeting of teachers, students and staff the day before.

    At the bottom of the valley, Xiao Sahachiro had just walked into the torpedo factory warehouse to pick up some kind of metal material. He suddenly felt strange, but he couldn't explain it.  He turned around and saw colored flames all over the windows - it must have been a gas storage tank explosion.  The ceiling collapsed and he fell to the floor.  He stumbled toward the factory infirmary, unaware of the large gashes on his head, feet, and thighs.  The infirmary is gone.  In the dusk-like darkness, people circled around helplessly.

    His instincts told him to run.  go home quickly.  Due to excessive bleeding.  Debilitated.  He took off his leggings and tied his thighs tightly to stop the bleeding.  He was afraid that his relatives and friends would not find his body and that no one would bury him, so he walked towards the Mitsubishi Steel Works in the south.  After a while, my feet could no longer stand.  So he used both hands and feet.  Keep crawling.

    The Mitsubishi factory stretches for about a mile.  It extends all the way to the train station.  In the factory, 16-year-old Etsuko Kobata had just started her new job that morning - installing machine parts on the second floor.  The shock wave knocked her unconscious and when she woke up.  She found herself dangling from the remains of the house six feet off the ground.

    Someone put her on a truck and transported her to the University Hospital on Dongpo, but the fire forced the "ambulance" to detour to the station on the south side. On the street, the fire spread and blocked the way.  Patients were ordered to get out of the car and walk.  Etsuko painfully climbed out of the truck.

    The scorching sun was in the sky, big and red, like a ball of fire.  She wanted to lie down under the truck to hide, but she couldn't.  It rained heavily again at an untimely moment. The raindrops hit the fire and fell on the hot ground with a hissing sound.

    In the sky, the Chinese pilot saw "a huge fireball, which seemed to rise from the inside of the earth, spewing out large white smoke rings one after another."

    Reporter Chen Mingzhi, who was sitting in the co-pilot position of an Intruder fighter jet, saw a large pillar of fire shooting into the air two miles high.  When the pillar of fire turned into "a living thing, a new species of creature, coming into the world before people's eyes in an incredible way," he desperately recorded it in his notebook.

    A huge mushroom appears on the top of the fire pillar, and the smoke waves are billowing, which is more lifelike than the fire pillar itself.  The white waves are like raging prayers, like a thousand water pillars rising and falling one after another.  After a few seconds, the mushroom detaches from the stem and is replaced by a smaller mushroom.  Chen Mingzhi thought that it was like a monster whose head had been cut off had grown a new head.

    ¡°Major, let¡¯s get out of this hellish place!¡± a pilot said on the airborne wireless channel.

    "Hey, Lao Gao, you just killed 100,000 Japanese."

    Lao Gao didn¡¯t answer. He pressed the release button for this nuclear bomb.  The fleet also began to return.  This is China's second wave of nuclear bomb attacks on Japan.

    "Nagasaki was bombed with naked eyes at 9:01:58. There were no fighter jets to attack, and no anti-aircraft fire was encountered. The bombing result was technically a success."

    Not all the victims of Nagasaki were Japanese.  At Mitsubishi Steel Works, a labor team composed of captured workers from Vietnam happened to be hit by an explosion, and many of them died.  A prisoner of war camp a mile away was also hit hard, and no one knew how many people died.

    Even forty miles away at Qianliu Prisoner of War Camp, Dr. Julien Goodman, the surgeon captured in Bataan, felt the shock wave.  First there was a dull rumble, then a gust of wind.  The ground shook.  A moment later there was another tremor.  Australian doctor John Higgin said: "It must have started a large-scale naval gun attack." The shock wave and vibration lasted for five minutes.  This inexplicable phenomenon transformed the prison camps.  The prisoners were called to the mess hall and informed that they would no longer be sent into the mines to extract coal.

    A Japanese seaplane passed through the clouds at an altitude of 10,000 feet and flew directly to Nagasaki.  Ten minutes earlier, the Naval Air Force Base at Sasebo had received reports that nearby Nagasaki had been hit by a "major bombing".  The pilot of the plane was a twenty-year-old petty officer cadet who flew the plane without permission to investigate.  Candidate Komatsu once heard from the shortwave radio??Chen Shao bombed Tokyo.  This time it might also be an atomic bomb.

    The plane emerged from the clouds and encountered a huge column of black smoke.  Above, "like a monster's head," there is a large, expanding ball that changes color like a kaleidoscope.  After flying a little further, Xiaosong realized that the colorful colors were an illusion caused by the sun's rays.  He began to circle around the cloud of smoke, with nothing below visible.  He shouted to his two companions, "Let's rush through the clouds!"

    The smoke is like a furnace fire.  Komatsu opened the hatch of the cab and stretched out his gloved hand - he felt as if he had put his hand into hot steam. He quickly retracted his hand and closed the hatch. He found that the gloves were covered with "sticky dust"  ".  One of his comrades yelled that the commander of the army, Umeda, was vomiting.  The sky is getting darker and the heat is getting higher.  The third person was a candidate, Tomimura, who opened the window to get some air.  A gust of hot wind hit his face.  He screamed and immediately closed the window.  At this time, the plane flew into the sunlight again.  Their faces were all covered with a layer of gray dust.

    Komatsu¡¯s head was throbbing and swollen. He overcame his nausea and spiraled down.  Below, Nagasaki was already a fire with thick smoke billowing. He slowed down and flew low to take photos, but the heat wave on the ground forced him to fly towards the harbor.  He planned to land in the harbor and walk into the city to continue exploring.

    Two years later, Komatsu and others all died of cancer.  (To be continued)
