Chapter 1993 The unexpected effect of "The Wolf is Coming".

Located on the northwest coast of Japan's Kyushu Island, Sasebo Military Port is a key point of communication between the Yellow Sea and the Sea of Japan, choking the Korean Strait, and is Japan's advance base to the Asian continent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info 小-say-网Please keep in mind that Sasebo was originally a desolate fishing village, but after the Meiji Restoration, it was established as a military base, and in 1886 it was established as a naval town, and after entering the thirties, it was ranked among the three major military ports of the Japanese Navy along with Kure Port and Yokosuka.

The Sasebo Military Port consists of Sasebo Bay and adjacent waters, with an irregular "Y" shaped coastline with a total length of 150 kilometers, and the only inlet channel in the port area is located in the southwest, and the port area can berth more than 90 ships, including five shipyards and four docks, which can repair and build large ships.

The Sasebo Naval Port is a well-targeted oil depot in the Hirase area, which covers an area of 4 million square meters if you include the surrounding oil storage facilities and ammunition depots.

A total of 28 F-3 missiles were launched in Sasebo, and the targets were the Navy Headquarters building, the shipyard, the Sasebo Naval Aviation School, and the most important thing was the oil depot and ammunition depot.

As for the targets of the ship, one is the problem of shooting accuracy, there is a high probability that the F-3 missile will fall into the sea, and the other is that the thickness of the ship's armor is far from being comparable to that of a building, and even if it hits, it cannot cause a fatal blow.

Because of its special geographical location, the Sasebo Military Port became the focus of the reconnaissance planes of the Anjia Army Air Force as early as after the entire territory of the Han Peninsula was recovered, and the air defense sirens sounded several times a day, so when the air defense sirens sounded today, most of the air defense troops were lazy, and many officers and men were even reluctant to go out in their barracks.

Sasebo belonged to a military port, and according to the agreement reached between Ishihara and Nagano Shusui, the air defense of all military ports was under the jurisdiction of the navy. There are 16 anti-aircraft positions deployed on the mountains around Sasebo Port, including Mt. Yubari, Mt. Shoguk, Mt. Tajima, Mt. Atago, and Mt. Kunimi, with a total of four 150-mm anti-aircraft guns of the latest Type 5, 32 antique 105-mm anti-aircraft guns of the 14th Taisho type, 48 Type 99 88-mm anti-aircraft guns made from the 88-mm barrel of the German Navy type L44 captured in the Chinese battlefield, and 64 Type 88 75-mm anti-aircraft guns, which are seriously outdated. In addition, there are about 200 Type 96 triple 25-mm antiaircraft guns dismantled from the ship, and the power is still very amazing when the fire network is fully opened.

However, as the story of "the wolf came" expressed, at this moment all the personnel of the Sasebo military port did not realize the seriousness of the problem, although the sirens kept sounding, but what to do, no one showed eagerness, let alone thought of air defense and evasion.

In the commander's office on the fourth floor of the naval headquarters building in the military port, Vice Admiral Tanima Hontaro, commander of the Sasebo Town Guard, was sitting opposite Vice Admiral Masato Yamayama, commander of the 4th Naval Air Force, on a spacious long balcony facing the north, talking about today's failed air raid.

In the middle of the rattan chair where the two of them sit, on the quaint tea table made of sandalwood, two cups of fragrant tea curl Nana, and the Danma Mountain, Jiangguan Mountain and Qianyue at an altitude of three or four hundred meters above sea level in the distance are pleasant and luxuriant. Accustomed to seeing the turbulent waves of the sea and appreciating the beautiful and tranquil landscapes, it is the heartfelt desire of almost every admiral.

Yamasan-Masato, who was also the Minister of Naval Aviation at this time, was well aware of what the defeat of the air raid meant for the Japanese Navy, and complained:

"I don't know what Lord Nagano thinks...... If it were me, I would resolutely push back these unreasonable orders. Fortunately, after the two major wars, our navy has not only lost a large number of valuable fighters, but also suffered a serious shortage of talents. Especially today's suicide attack, almost half of the newly graduated cadets of various aviation schools have been buried, and it will take at least a year to form the same combat power again! ”

Tanima Hontaro smiled bitterly:

"No one is Ishihara Waner, who is willing to gamble with His Majesty the Emperor on his own future and fate...... Throughout these years, the changes made by General Ishihara in the army and navy have completely cut into the shortcomings of the empire, making the empire's strength flourish day by day. Please keep in mind how much controversy did Ishihara-kun's proposal to relax the conditions for the levy and training of cadets for naval aviation caused in the first place? Now it proves how sharp and unique his vision is......

"Unfortunately, the Emperor and his retainers could not bear to lose Manmon, and blamed all this on Ishihara-kun, and wanted to replace them with an obedient person to carry out their aggressive strategy, and the situation took a turn for the worse...... Alas, the results of many years have been put down the river after two wars, and I don't know what the future fate of the empire will be...... Listen, the sirens are sounding, and the air force of the people of China must have come to the military port to reconnoitre......"

Zhengxiang of Shanxian County listened to the piercing air defense sirens sounding around the military port, and shook his head: "The reaction of the people of China is too fast, they are winning this battle, and we are using bomber groups to fight their air defense firepower, how unwise?" If it was really for the sake of containment, it would have been enough to send hundreds of planes to harass it, why did it get to this point? Compared to Tojo and Ishihara, it's not a little bit worse! ”

At this time, the staff of the military port town guard office Koshinoto Oshijima hurriedly walked into the office, and he didn't see anyone who was about to turn around and leave, and Tanima Hontaro, who heard the footsteps, greeted: "Joshima-kun, is there anything important?" ”

Only then did Shiroshima Keito see the two lieutenant generals sitting on the balcony, and hurriedly stepped forward and said in a somewhat panicked manner:

"Two commanders, the moment we captured the flying target, the six radars we had arranged on the mountains around the military port suddenly failed, and the electronic screens were all beating dense bright spots. We immediately contacted the radar base stations deployed in Kyushu and various parts of western Honshu, but they were also affected by strong electromagnetic interference, and the radar could not work properly!

"When contacting the Tokyo air defense department, they passed on an important message to us, the enemy's invasion weapons reached an astonishing speed of 2,400 kilometers per hour, which means that the missile launched from the opposite continent only needs ** minutes to reach our military port......"

"Shut up!"

Shan County Zhengxiang reprimanded loudly: "Chengdao-kun, will you also believe the words of those red deer in the army?" What current aircraft can exceed the speed of sound? And twice the speed of sound! If it is a shell, is there a shell so far away? To be a man, you have to use your brains, don't follow the clouds, that will be a big loss! ”

"But—"

Shiroshima Keito was about to argue urgently, when suddenly his eyes widened, pointing to the northern sky, and he unconsciously muttered to himself: "The person who informed me of the news was Sanada-kun, the former chief of operations of the General Staff Headquarters, and he will not lie to people about this crucial issue...... What a splendid and beautiful scene! ”

Yama Yama Masako, who bowed his head and drank tea, still wanted to curse, but when he heard that the tone of Shiroshima was not right, Tanima Hontaro, who was sitting opposite, was also stunned, and turned his head vigilantly, at this time, a cigar-shaped flying object in the sky was less than a kilometer away from the building, and the fireworks sprayed at the tail were still very dazzling in the sun, and the oppressive force that came directly almost made Yama County Masato unable to breathe.

Just when Shan Shan Zhengxiang was shocked and thinking about what this thing was, one of the flying objects suddenly lowered its altitude and rushed directly towards the balcony, and in just a second or two, Shan Shan County Zhengxiang felt a huge pain hit his brain, and then, he flew away from his body and saw his body being blown into a mass and flying in all directions, and then he fell into permanent darkness.

Just when the bodies of Hontaro Tanima, Masago Yama Prefecture and others turned into ashes, the attack of the Anjia Army's F-3 missiles on the Sasebo Military Port had just begun.

The error rate of this missile was only 50 meters, and it was originally intended to invade from the middle of the building, and then blow the building in half, but because it deviated 50 meters to the west, it just hit the office of the commander of the military port, and achieved an unexpected effect.

The other missile that attacked the headquarters building was even more ineffective, and it deviated more than 300 meters from the direction and plunged headlong into the military port and naval hospital in the northwest, opening a hole in the top of the three-story building of the inpatient department.

As smoke billowed from the headquarters and hospital buildings amid the loud explosions, the shipyard area and the Sasebo Naval Aviation School were also hit at the same time.

In dealing with the five missiles in the shipyard area, the weapons department was all napalm, because most of the shipyards were bungalows and did not need to be penetrated by explosions, and the main purpose was to kill and injure a large number of valuable Japanese shipbuilders.

In the end, four of the five missiles hit their respective targets, and the last one deviated badly and landed on the pier more than 200 meters away, turning a laying ship docked here into a fire cabinet.

The missile exploded directly through the roof and in the various factories and docks, and the flames erupted, and the terrible screams of the entire shipyard area were everywhere, and the light cruiser "Yasu", which was being built at the Sasebo No. 3 Shipyard, and the hundreds of shipyard workers who were working hard, were quickly surrounded by the flames that burst open.

Napalm is firmly attached to buildings, objects, and human surfaces, burning like maggots on tarsal bones until napalm is burned out.

The Sasebo Naval Aviation School is located on the southeast coast of Mount Tenjin, which is relatively flat and has a two-square-kilometer airfield for land-based take-off and landing piloted by cadets. There is a sea practice platform in the northeastern area of Higashihama-machi, which is built exactly like an aircraft carrier, and after a period of land-based training, some of the best trainees will be transferred here for training to prepare for the ship.

Because Japan is an earthquake-prone area, and at the same time, steel and cement are strategic materials, so in the entire military port, only the headquarters and hospitals are built with reinforced concrete structures, and most of the rest of the units are bungalows, or the kind of two-story wooden buildings, and the teaching buildings and dormitory buildings of the aviation school are made of wood transported from the deep mountains and old forests in northeast China.

In order to eliminate these potential pilots, a total of four napalm missiles were used to shoot down on the campus, although only two missiles hit the target, but the two missiles that deviated ignited the mountains and forests in the north and west of the campus, and the dry climate in autumn and winter made the fire spread rapidly, and the fire was connected together, enveloping the entire aviation school in a sea of fire.

The remaining dozen or so missiles all landed at the oil depots and wharves in the Hirase area, and the continuous explosions and flying flames quickly enveloped the towns of Shingang, Mantsu, and Rinhama in flames and smoke. Three of the missiles hit the ammunition warehouse built along the Sasebo River, causing the situation to spiral out of control in an instant, and the sound of explosions resounded throughout the land, and the whole Sasebo trembled violently as if it had been subjected to a major earthquake.

It is inconceivable that the six missiles originally aimed at the oil depot area were all missed, and the shrapnel sputtered by the huge explosion "clanged" on the surface of the warehouse, but the turtle shell did not crack open the oil depot. If it weren't for the explosion of the ammunition depot, which resulted in the winning of the bid for four smaller oil depots in the vicinity, it is estimated that the entire port of Sasebo would have been saved.

However, with the explosion of the small oil depot, several medium-sized oil depots next to each other were ignited by high temperatures and open flames one after another, and the continuous burst of flames ignited the entire area.

The Sasebo Naval Port ended with the explosion of the 100,000-ton oil depot in the port area, and the flames of fuel oil flew everywhere with the air waves, and even the headquarters building, the hospital, and the dock area on Hirase Ichiri Road were also affected by the fire.

The Japanese naval officers and men who were running wildly in various parts of the military port were hit by the flying oil fire regiments, and a miserable scene was displayed everywhere.

The fuel splashed on their bodies ignited people at once, and those people desperately slapped the oil on their bodies with their hands, but the more they beat the fire, the more they burned, and then their hands also burned. The Navy soldiers, who couldn't stand the pain, rolled back and forth on the ground trying to extinguish the fire, only to end up with fire all over their bodies.

At this time, the Sasebo Military Port has become a hell on earth, and you can see the burning men screaming in the flames everywhere.

No one wants to die, especially the soldiers whose will is far more determined than ordinary people, they continue to struggle with all their strength, but they throw the burning oil attached to their bodies and the body fat oil from the barbecue onto the people around them, resulting in more and more burning people, and those who stumble and stumble into the floor next to them, quickly set the house on fire.

By this time, the fuel flowing into the Sasebo River had ignited the river, leaving those who wanted to dive into the water to survive. In the offshore sea, with the influx of oil, it also began to burn, and the ships that were originally docked at the pier fled one after another, and those ships docked at the anchorage also began to start, and when they saw that the fire was uncontrollable, they fled to the southwest of the sea to get rid of this terrible blood and fire purgatory.

The fire is still spreading.

Although Sasebo is a military port, due to the increase in the number of naval officers and soldiers, the families of officers and soldiers quickly gathered around the port area, forming residential areas of various sizes, which attracted various commercial establishments to settle in, and now there are more than 100,000 permanent residents in the entire Sasebo area, and most of their houses are wooden, which leads to the spread of fires.

Due to the evapotration of a large amount of hot gas, the air convection intensified, and the cold air in the distance urgently needed to replenish the rising hot air, and a gale was formed, and with the increase of the wind, the entire military port intensified the combustion, which in turn increased the wind, and in a short period of time, the area where Sasebo is located, the wind speed has been as high as 80 kilometers per hour, and the entire area covering about 30 or 40 square kilometers on both sides of the bay has formed a sea of fire.

The sound of explosions came and went, and people's cries for help, howls, screams, and cries filled the wilderness, and the officers and men of the naval firefighting squad who tried to confront the fire had no choice but to give up their attempts to extinguish the fire and retreat to the mountains on both sides of the bay.

The fire was relentless, setting almost everything on fire, and even the ships under construction on the dockyard platform were melted by the heat. The trees around the city withered in the suffocating heat and then spontaneously combusted!

The flames of oil that were blown around by the strong wind fell everywhere on the surrounding mountains, first a few scattered flames appeared, and then under the action of the wind, the scattered flames quickly merged into a raging sea of fire, and black smoke rose into the sky, covering the sky, as if an active volcano was erupting outward.

......

While Sasebo was burning and crying, Kure Port, Yokosuka Port, and Shuri Port (present-day Naha Port) in the Ryukyus were also on fire, but for many reasons, the effect was far less significant than that of Sasebo Port.

In addition, important Japanese cities such as Nagasaki, Fukuoka, Kitakyushu, Hiroshima, Osaka, and Nagoya were also attacked by F-3 missiles ranging from three to five, and the entire Japanese archipelago was plunged into great panic.
