Chapter 971 Detonation of Mount Fuji
About two hours after the bombing ended, some surviving radar stations on Kyushu issued radar alerts again.
The Japanese radar soldiers turned their eyes to the display screen in fear. When they discovered the altitude of the aircraft, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the target was at an altitude of more than 20,000 meters, and there was only one bright light, it could not be a bomber.
Some radar soldiers have become accustomed to such situations. Their tense nerves relaxed and their bodies slumped in their seats.
Compared with the major bombing that had just ended, the warning this time was really insignificant. Almost no radar station reported the warning to the Air Defense Command.
Motohyaku Yanagyu flew a Sky Eye high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft to photograph the urban area of Nagasaki after the bombing at an altitude of about 15,000 meters. Eight high-resolution cameras were operating at full power, and each photo was quickly taken shape.
After taking pictures of the scene after the bombing, Liu Yuanbai piloted the plane and continued flying north, arriving over Shikoku.
While the Japanese's attention was focused on the large-scale aircraft fleet, he easily took photos of Japanese military industries and military facilities in the Shikoku region.
Liu Yuanbai did not rush into the Tokyo area. He chose to cross the Sea of Japan and return to his secret base in Northeast China.
Major Ogura, who narrowly escaped from the mountaintop radar station, stumbled back to the city of Nagasaki.
There are thousands of Japanese who came out of the mountains like him.
Some of them are soldiers, some are workers, and some are farmers nearby.
When Ogura and these people arrived at the outskirts of Nagasaki, the scene before them made them heartbroken and desperate.
The fire in the city shows no sign of extinguishing, even though it has been burning for six hours.
The rolling heat waves can be felt several kilometers away, and the air is filled with ash.
When night fell, the fires in downtown Nagasaki illuminated more than ten kilometers, and Nagasaki turned into a cluster of torches on Kyushu Island, flickering in the turbulent sea breeze.
The expression on Ogura's face changed from despair to numbness, and he sat with others on the edge of the fire for four or five hours.
During these four or five hours, some people cried hoarsely, and some rushed into the fire to be with their loved ones.
More people are as numb as Ogura.
A few hours later, the numb crowd began to put out the fire numbly. Although they knew that it was too late, they could not watch the fire continue to burn before their eyes.
…………
Two days later, Peking, Xiyuan.
A dozen of the most valuable photos taken by the Sky Eye high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft were placed in front of Jiang Dong, Xie Chengrui and Wu Zhan.
"In general, this operation of the Air Force and Navy achieved the predetermined combat objectives." Wu Zhan said:
"The destruction of Nagasaki is not only to attack the industry in the Nagasaki area, but more importantly, to shock the Japanese people and make them give up their delusions of stubborn resistance."
"Of course, the two bombings can have a certain deterrent effect, but it is far from enough to make them give up resistance."
"This kind of bombing must continue, city by city, and finally return Japan to an agricultural society!"
Xie Chengrui nodded with deep understanding.
"This time we have only dispatched three groups of super flying fortresses. By the time we bomb Tokyo, we will dispatch at least 500 of them!"
"Let the Emperor of Japan, Hideki Tojo and others feel the fear of ordinary people, accept the announcement of the allies as soon as possible, and surrender unconditionally!"
Koto agreed with both of their statements, but he believed that Japan would not surrender easily.
"I want to set off a big firecracker in each of the four major regions of Japan to reshuffle the social classes on the Japanese islands."
"Return everything to zero, and establish a puppet regime belonging to China on a zero basis."
Xie Chengrui smiled and nodded, then frowned slightly and said:
"To make Japan fully dependent on China, other allies may not agree."
"Then split it into two parts." Jiangdong said nonchalantly:
"We control part of it, and other allies control part, and let this place become a civil war."
"This is a good idea." Wu Zhan said:
"Since the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese have been invading our borders, splitting them into multiple parts, attacking each other, and all their strength was consumed in internal struggles."
"Not only can it serve as a strategic buffer, but it also prevents the Japanese from standing up to disgust China."
"Yeah." This is the idea that Jiang Dong had thought of long ago.
"Seizing the initiative in the war, firmly holding Japan's future ownership in our hands, so that other countries can only follow our arrangements, this is the general direction of this year's war against Japan."
After the three discussed for a while, they gradually clarified their thoughts on this aspect. Wu Zhan asked Jiang Dong very curiously.
"Commander-in-Chief, Tokyo is the base camp of militarists and the core of Japan. In addition to enlarging gunners and throwing incendiary bombs, do you have any other ways to make Japan miserable?"
Xie Chengrui also looked over with a smile.
Jiangdong had never thought about this problem. After all, he had nuclear weapons in hand. If one was not enough, he would throw away two.
But after Wu Zhan reminded him, he remembered a plan for future generations to implement, and blurted out:
"Explode Mount Fuji!"
…………
Tokyo, Hirohito Imperial Conference.
Reports of damage have come in from Nagasaki, and the situation is even worse than the burning Hokkaido.
The atmosphere of the meeting was extremely solemn, with the shadow of failure and destruction hanging over everyone's minds.
Hirohito sat at the top, with a depressed look on his face, and his helpless eyes swept over one minister after another.
Tojo Hideki and others below all lowered their heads, as if they were mourning the victims of Nagasaki.
Two minutes later, Cabinet Prime Minister Hideki Tojo first reported:
"Your Majesty, after detailed statistics, the indiscriminate bombing by the Chinese directly caused the deaths of 30,000 people, injured 150,000 people, and left 500,000 people homeless."
"The ports, railway and highway transportation lines are completely paralyzed, the shipyard has become a ruin, and it is impossible to carry out related industrial activities."
“…”
The report lasted three minutes, and the losses reported covered a wide range of areas.
After Tojo Hideki finished speaking, Yamamoto Isoroku also talked about the initial combat effect of the Kaiten torpedo.
In the Sea of Japan, Japan dispatched a total of three submarines to attack the Fengtian super aircraft carrier battle group.
But the final result was that the super aircraft carrier battle group was safe and sound, with only one supply ship slightly damaged.
Yamamoto Isoroku exaggerated the results of the Kaiten torpedoes because he did not want to embarrass himself in front of the emperor and army officers.
Hirohito had no doubts about Yamamoto, and Yamamoto Isoroku's report solidified his support for the "must-kill" tactics.
At this meeting, no one mentioned the issue of whether Japan should accept the anti-fascist Allies' declaration of unconditional surrender.
Even though the country is at the end of its rope, no one will admit that they can't do it.
Itagaki Seishiro further improves his homeland defense plan. He will force some people to have Caesarean section to apologize and recruit more fanatics into the overall defense system.
The meeting once again made it clear that Japan's top priority is to develop military technology.
Strive to have your own jet fighter within half a year.
Yamamoto Isoroku, on behalf of the navy, said that the United States, a huge enemy, must be blocked in the south and prevented from joining China and landing on the mainland together.
Hirohito nodded while listening. The assurances from Tojo Hideki, Itagaki Seishiro, Yamamoto Isoroku and others made the fear and pain in his heart lessen.
I feel that although the country is in difficulty, there will always be a day when it can stand up again.
At the same time, he also heard that even if Japan was truly defeated, these ministers would not let him go to the trial stand.
He will always be the supreme emperor.
