Chapter 745: The Day Has Come: September 1st
The time has come!
Republic of China, 2nd year, Taisho Japan, 2nd year, A.D., September 1, 923.
There is no difference between today and any day before.
The uprising in Tokyo has become less and less gaining momentum. Civilians were occasionally able to come out for some fresh air, even though the smell of blood and gunsmoke still filled the air.
Of course, most people in Tokyo prefer to hide in their homes to avoid being injured by stray bullets.
The Japanese government is urgently consulting on the clash that took place on the border between China and North Korea, and one by one telegrams kept photographing North Korea, asking about it on August 3. What happened that day?
It is, September 1, 923
Everything was calm in tension, and no one thought about what would happen on this day.
Except, of course, there is one person.
Before 5 o'clock this morning, Wang Hengyue got up, and he was not affected by the Sino-North Korean border conflict at all, but ate three bowls of porridge and three eggs with great interest. And he also said that he was going to drink some wine at noon.
This is a bit of a surprise, and the president generally doesn't drink much......
"There is a big happy event today, hurry up and do it for me." Wang Hengyue glared at him and said to Ah Le.
"It's not a good day to drink a good drink." Ah Le whistle grunted.
"What do you know, what do you know......" Wang Hengyue smiled disapprovingly.
They don't understand, they don't understand, and today is a great day.
It is, September 1, 923......
Kure Naval Yard.
There was no turmoil, and despite the vigilant order, the workers in the factory were still doing what they had to do.
When Minohe Gegen saw that Yoshi's "peace" was safe, he still smiled and said hello. I have to check the boiler today, otherwise if there is another problem, it will delay the progress of the project.
Yoshikawa Heian also smiled and called his "good friend" after work, go there to have dinner now, don't work too late, pay attention to your body......
Then Mitsunohe greeted the guards with a smile, happily walked into the boiler room, and while inspecting the "repair", he happily put the explosives under several boilers......
On the other side, Matsumoto Kaikiyo also moved boxes of spare parts to the dockyard warehouse with his co-workers as before.
Next to the warehouse is the arsenal of the Kure Navy Factory garrison, which is hypothetically the last but most advantageous line of defense for the garrison in the event of an enemy attack......
Of course, the people in the garrison did not know that two boxes of explosives had been mixed into the spare parts warehouse......
Everything was the same as any previous day.
It is, September 1, 923......
The clock ticked by. Soon it was close to noon......
"Engineer Sanhe, it's time to eat."
"Oh, I'm not going to eat, you guys will send me some after eating, I have to finish the boiler overhaul today, otherwise, I won't be able to eat Yoshikawa-kun's dinner at night......"
There was a burst of laughter, and the workers left the workshop in twos and threes......
It is, September 1, 923......
, Saturday, September 1, 923, Yokohama, Tokyo.
"Eat immediately, after eating, we will launch a general attack on the last stronghold of the rioters, and end the Tokyo riot within three days!"
"Hello!"
"Eat!"
"Sit down!"
The soldiers sat down in unison.
"Don't shake the table while eating!" Captain Fujiwara said sternly to one of the soldiers beside him.
"Captain, I didn't shake the table,"
"Eight, not shaking yet, six
Captain Fujiwara's face was serious, and he was about to continue to reprimand, but suddenly stopped, and found that something was wrong
What is the reason for the shaking even more?
Captain Fujiwara stood up, and many Japanese soldiers who were eating stood up .........,
The shaking was even more violent, and Captain Fujiwara suddenly let out a heart-rending cry:
"There was an earthquake!"
Republic of China, 2nd year, Taisho Japan, 2nd year, A.D., 923 September 1, at noon, at 1:58, the Kanto Plain region of Japan suddenly made a "quack" sound, and the earth shook up and down, followed by a tight shaking.
The earth, which had always been quiet and calm, was restless at this time: swaying from side to side, shaking up and down, undulating, as if people were in a small boat on the sea at the crest of the peaks and valleys, unable to stand or move, and could only obey the mercy of the earth, which had lost its former stability. People were thrown into the air by the trembling earth, either dead or wounded.
There were no dead or injured people trying to escape from the crumbling houses, but their feet did not listen. The rows and rows of houses rooted in the earth could not withstand the test of the violent shaking of the earth, shaking, falling tiles, falling walls, and collapsing. There are very few houses that can withstand such a severe "test". As a result, those who barely struggled to escape from their houses were not spared their doom, or were crushed to death, smashed, or buried in the rubble by collapsed houses.
Others, numb by the sudden shock of the earth, sat and sat back as they watched the collapsed buildings pounce on them.
The rumbling of the earthquake, the groans of the injured, the cries of the uninjured are all in one place, and it is creepy. Most people were overwhelmed by the shaking of the ground caused by the earthquake and were buried alive in collapsed houses. Many died before they could figure out what had happened.
The magnitude of this sudden earthquake reached 8 ...... on the Richter scale Level 3. The scope of the attack, the size of the damage, and the number of deaths are rare in the history of Japan.
Those crushed in collapsed houses are powerless to extricate themselves, and those who are lucky enough to survive are powerless to save them. Even if a person is not killed by the earthquake, he can only watch his loved ones die under the rubble until death strikes. No one came to the aid of anyone who was not injured or had only minor injuries under the rubble of the collapsed house.
When the earthquake struck, it was noon, and people in Tokyo and other places were busy cooking lunch, and many homes were blazing. When a great earthquake struck, the stove overturned, flames splashed, and sparks flew wildly.
The two major cities of Tokyo and Yokohama, located in the Kanto region, are not only densely populated, but also have many wooden buildings, and the earthquake damaged the gas pipes, causing gas to overflow and ignite in case of fire. The combination of several factors, such as the stoves that provide the fire source and the gas and wooden houses that are the best fuels, has turned Tokyo and other places into a sea of fire, and the sound of explosions and the cries for help from people in the fires are heard one after another. After the earthquake, the fire demons began to wreak havoc in the Kanto region.
It's no coincidence"9. A major fire also broke out after the San Francisco earthquake in 6, but it was far less tragic than in the Kanto region of Japan.
After the fire broke out, it was difficult to control the fire, but the shock wave caused by the earthquake to stir up a huge wind in the area, and the fire area immediately became a sea of fire, and the wind helped the fire to burn more and more. Not only that, but the wind also spread the fire in all directions. Wherever the fire spreads, a sky-high fire ignites. Factories are burning, schools are burning, homes are burning, all of them are burning.
The whole of Tokyo was engulfed in flames, as if the sky was burning and the earth was burning. The fire spread so quickly that it was beyond people's homesickness
In the process of spreading the flames, whenever flammable and explosive materials are encountered, either a large explosion occurs or the flames soar into the sky. Since houses in most areas have been burned and almost razed by the earthquake, the fires can go unimpeded. Fire brigades in Tokyo and elsewhere are ready to fight the fire demons, but they can't find a water source due to the destruction of underground water pipes!
Naturally, firefighters could not fight the fire with their bare hands, and even more collapsed houses had blocked the streets, and fire trucks could not pass at all. …,
The most tragic are the survivors crushed in the rubble, who could have been rescued if it had not been for the fire. After the fire was ignited, many survivors in the ruins and rubble were burned alive by the fire.
Some of those who escaped the earthquake disaster were surrounded by fire. Billowing smoke smoked them down, and fire burned them to death. The pungent stench of burnt human flesh filled the air. The Great Kanto Earthquake did not last long, but the fire after the earthquake burned for three days and three nights, until it burned until everything in the fire was reduced to ashes. Those who managed to escape the earthquake had to escape the terrible fire demons in a state of panic. The panicked crowd left the residential area, left the fire, and rushed outside into the open area. Streets, chalk fields, parks, beaches, school playgrounds, and other places became places of refuge for people fleeing the fires. For a time, many open areas were crowded with people.
A military clothing factory has an open space similar to a stadium and is filled with tens of thousands of evacuees. There is no fire around this place, and it is safe for the time being. Before the crowd had time to rejoice in escaping the tiger's mouth, the fire quickly rushed here from all directions, and the fire surrounded the clothing factory at the fastest speed, and the encirclement became smaller and smaller. The victims trapped in the encirclement were in a mess, scurrying around like headless flies, trampled to death, if not burned by the fire. All exits were blocked by fire, and people had no way out. The fire began to consume everyone's life. Thick smoke completely enveloped the place, and many people suffocated to death due to lack of oxygen. 32 ...... who took refuge here No one was spared, and the scene was unbearable.
A large number of people who died in the aftermath of the earthquake were killed in the aftermath of the disaster, and most of the survivors were burned. In a park area in Yokohama, hundreds of people jumped into a pool to escape the fire. Man sits in the water, with only his head above the water, trying to escape the fire demon in this way.
But when the fire hit, sparks flew around their heads, and their hair was mostly burned.
They have nowhere to run, and all that awaits them is death! )
