Just a dozen hours after Minoru Minoru Genda felt that the Japanese Empire was really powerless to defeat the behemoth of the United States, on the island of Oahu, which is more than 11,000 kilometers away from Palembang, Japanese Army Admiral Yamashita Fumifumi now feels the same way.

As the commander of the Hawaiian Front of the Japanese Army, he felt for the first time that the Hawaiian Islands would most likely not be defended. Because thousands of American warplanes that took off from aircraft carriers and Niihau Island also roared and pounced on Oahu at this time. Unlike many previous air raids, the Americans used unconventional ammunition in the bombing on June 4, Hawaii time—mustard gas bombs and anthrax spore bombs (the Japanese do not know that the U.S. military dropped anthrax spore bombs) by more than 100 B-24 and B-17 bombers that took off from Niihau Island.

Despite the opposition of his staff, Admiral Yamashita insisted on standing in a shelter at the top of the command post inside the mountain, wearing a gas mask, and watching the ground-air battle outside with a telescope from the observation port of the eight characters inside. Although the air raids of the Americans were fierce, they could not overwhelm the firepower of the defenders of Oahu, and the infantry were hiding in well-established fortifications, and the opponent would not have suffered too many heavy casualties even if they dropped tens of thousands of tons of bombs. But what the Americans are dropping now is not an ordinary bomb, but a gas bomb that emits yellow poisonous smoke!

Admiral Yamashita has already received reports that the US planes have dropped mustard gas bombs, which have already caused damage to some unsuspecting anti-aircraft gunners, and have been heavily killed and wounded by the poisonous smoke. Now the army hospital on Oahu is full of wounded people burned by mustard gas, covered in blisters, wailing in pain, and some of them have been poisoned and blind, desperate and helpless.

Yamashita Fumi, who was well acquainted with the gas warfare in Europe during World War I, knew that the current gas attack was just the beginning! The climax of the real gas warfare will come after the landing operation officially begins.

The poisonous smoke of mustard gas would envelop the Japanese positions day and night (the smoke of World War I would often linger for several hours) until the Japanese officers and soldiers wearing gas masks were killed and wounded......

Moreover, the fact that the US military has now brazenly used chemical weapons on Oahu despite the threat of Japanese bacteriological weapons in the big cities on the west coast shows that the Americans are now determined to use all means to defeat or force Japan to make peace in the shortest possible time.

Of course, the samurai of the Great Japanese Empire were not afraid of anything! Even if the Americans had terrible nuclear fission weapons, the Japanese samurai would be able to defeat them.

But...... What is the significance of such a war for Japan?

Senior General Yamashita Fumifumi was a core figure in the Japanese Army, and of course knew that the Americans had now sued for peace with Japan, and the conditions were not bad, but they only demanded the recovery of the Hawaiian Islands.

For the sake of these broken islands in the Hawaiian Islands, which are 6,000 kilometers away from Tokyo, is it worth the lives of more than 200,000 army officers and soldiers?

The current Japanese Empire is not a small country with only more than 300,000 square kilometers at the beginning, but a large state that occupies more than 5 million square kilometers.

Thinking of this, Yamashita turned his head and said to a former staff officer of the Front Army Command wearing a gas mask: "Go and send a telegram to the military headquarters and tell the Americans that mustard gas was used against the officers and soldiers of the Emperor of Oahu...... Now Pearl Harbor and Honolulu have been shrouded in mustard gas by the US military, and the officers and men of our imperial army have suffered heavy casualties! ”

At the time when Oahu was attacked by U.S. biological and chemical weapons, night was already falling on the sea in the northern part of Kyushu Island, thousands of miles away from Oahu. A sea beast made of steel, taking advantage of the cover of night, quietly surfaced, and slowly sailed in the direction of the sparsely lit lights in the distance.

This is an American "Little Shark"-class submarine with an underwater displacement of 2,424 tons, and it also has a displacement of 1,526 tons when it is floating, which is almost equivalent to a small destroyer.

Because the US Navy, which is fighting on two fronts, has long been at a disadvantage, this kind of "Little Shark" class submarine has been manufactured in large quantities and has become a powerful equipment for the US Navy to carry out diplomatic breaking operations and strike at opponents. Especially in the Pacific theater, because the Japanese Navy's anti-submarine and anti-mine capabilities were seriously insufficient, American submarines had the opportunity to show their skills. Either attacking with torpedoes, laying mines, or simply floating to the surface with deck guns always caused heavy losses to the Japanese ships, and they were unguardable.

But now quietly slipping into the northern part of Kyushu, Japan, this American submarine near the coast of densely populated Fukuoka Prefecture is not here to break diplomatic relations, they are the secret weapon used by the US Navy to attack the Japanese mainland!

On the cramped deck of the Shark-class submarine, a twelve-pack MK.51 rocket launcher was installed – in effect, a rocket launcher.

The ammunition used in this rocket artillery is a 5-inch high-speed self-rotating rocket, which has a high accuracy, and has four rockets with different ranges: 2500 yards (2286 meters), 5000 yards (4572 meters), and 10000 yards (9144 meters). In addition, the warhead of this 5-inch rocket can also be optional, and there are 4 types of warheads to choose from, namely high-explosive warheads, white phosphorus incendiary warheads, anthrax warheads and mustard gas warheads!

Before the Japanese attacked the West Coast of the United States with bacteriological weapons, there were no plans to install MK.51 rocket launchers on submarines. The weapon was intended to be installed on landing ships to support U.S. landings on the Hawaiian Islands. And the Americans at that time also did not design mustard gas warheads and anthrax warheads for rocket artillery.

However, after the Japanese bacteria invaded the United States, Roosevelt was enraged and determined to take revenge by all means.

As a result, all kinds of bizarre "revenge weapons" were designed by the military industry, among which the strange combination of submarines + rocket artillery attracted the most attention. Because the submarine is the only weapon in the hands of the Americans that can get close to the Japanese mainland, and the power of the 5-inch rocket is not small, at least much more than the 3-inch deck gun. Moreover, the speed at which ammunition is dropped is also fast, 12 rockets are fired at a time, and after one or several salvos, they immediately float and slip away, and the opponent does not even have time to counterattack.

In order to increase the power of the 5-inch rocket, the frenzied US Navy Operations Department initially threw aside the ordinary charge warheads, and only equipped a few experimental "rocket artillery submarines" with white phosphorus warheads, anthrax warheads, and mustard gas warheads.

And tonight, the "Babu," one of several test boats, is preparing to make a surprise attack on the coastal area of Japan's Fukuoka Prefecture. The submarine, with an underwater displacement of more than 2,400 tons, is now carrying 120 rockets filled with incendiary agents, anthrax spores and mustard gas!

When the rocket artillery submarine "Babu" surfaced and began to approach the target of attack. The hatch at the rear of the submarine island was pushed open, and the first mate on board, William Brown. Lieutenant Walker came out with a couple of sailors in life jackets, steel helmets, and 5-inch rockets on their shoulders, and took three steps and two steps on the rickety deck of the submarine, and soon reached the side of the MK.51 rocket launcher that was fixed to the deck facing port side.

"Hurry up, move fast!" Lieutenant Walker roared loudly, and then quickly checked the launch stand, and then turned the handle to adjust the firing angle a few times himself—because the space on the submarine deck was limited, the MK.51 rocket launcher mounted on it could only adjust the firing angle, not the left and right. So before launching the rocket, the submarine must aim the port side at the target. Of course, this is not very accurate, but it is enough to attack densely populated coastal towns.

"Alright, load up your ammo! Let the Japanese know how powerful the United States is! Lieutenant Walker adjusted the firing angle and immediately beckoned the sailors to reload.

This time, they targeted Fukuoka City, a densely populated seaside city in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. The submarine will launch rockets from a distance of 8,000 meters from the coast (almost the city). It's impossible to miss, the question is whether you can play a few more rounds?

Four white phosphorus incendiary bombs, four mustard gas bombs and four anthrax bombs were quickly reloaded. Lieutenant Walker and his men sped back to the submarine's island. Major Vlachi, the captain of the boat, who was watching the loading from the observation platform on the ship island, immediately gave the order to open fire.

As the electric current activated the rocket's thrusters, 12 rockets roared into the air for the first time, dragging orange-red tail flames, piercing the night sky and flying towards the coastal city of Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, about 8 kilometers away. After just a few seconds, clusters of orange and white flames suddenly rose in the wooden houses where the Japanese lived!

The first to fall were 4 white phosphorus incendiary bombs, which contained not only flammable white phosphorus, but also a large amount of viscous agent, which could stick to the human body and wooden buildings and burn, and soon set a large area of houses on fire.

And then came even more terrible mustard gas bombs and anthrax bombs! Yellow poisonous smoke and anthrax spores that were indistinguishable to the naked eye filled the air. Awakened by the sudden explosions and fires, the Japanese rushed out of their wooden houses and into the toxic air......

In the early morning of June 5 (Japan time), there were more than one "rocket artillery submarines" that launched a surprise attack on the Japanese mainland. At about the same time, the coastal cities of Fukuoka, Kochi, Aichi, Shizuoka, and Miyagi prefectures in Japan were targeted for American revenge. And this is only the beginning of the revenge of the Americans!
