After the U.S. Air Force bombed Tokyo, Japan, into ruins, the whole world expected the defeat of the Japanese, which was inevitable. Defeat and surrender were only a matter of time. However, the whole world did not anticipate the madness of the Japanese before the defeat. This nation, which has been stoic and ruthless from the bottom of its bones, has long been ready to die with the enemy.

In January 1945, Kuniaki Koiso, who succeeded Hideki Tojo as prime minister, convened the Supreme War Guidance Council in Tokyo and formulated the "Outline of the Imperial Army and Navy Operational Plan" and the "Outline of Extraordinary Measures for a Decisive Battle." An attempt to use China as a supply line for the war after Japan's defeat in Southeast Asia and the Pacific. At the same time, they conspired to carry out the "scorched earth warfare" and the "jade crushing war" to destroy Shanghai when the Allied and Chinese forces attacked Shanghai. It is known as the "Shanghai Decisive Battle Plan" in history.

At the same time, a pre-war mobilization began in Japan. Not only did all the men practice their martial arts every day, practice assassination, and prepare for street fights and hand-to-hand fights. Moreover, all the women were also mobilized. The most classic case is when the Japanese taught women how to kill American GIs - after the success of Seyou. grabbed a certain position of the American GI, and then cut the throat of the American GI when he was in pain......

Regardless of whether this tactic is justified or not. Even the people of later generations will hear that there are some sorrows of eggs......

At the same time, the Japanese began to dismantle the steel materials on the infrastructure, obtain various metals from buildings such as radiators, street lamps, and buildings that had been bombed to rubble by the Americans, and rebuild them. in order to create weapons. It doesn't matter if it can be made or not, even if it is. The quality of the weapon can also be imagined.

At the same time, there is also a large-scale and all-round brainwashing propaganda against the people at the bottom by high-level people in Japan, from the emperor of Japan downwards. Resolutely resisting the Americans, desperate street fighting, needless to say, is naturally the top priority. By the way, these high-level officials are still brainwashing and defrauding the last coin saved by the people under the collapse of the Japanese economy. This money. It became Japan's last military spending.

This kind of propaganda and preparation is actually not a trace for the Japanese

Advantage. After the Americans learned about Japan's preparations, they ranked the Japanese mainland as one of the hardest bones to gnaw. If there is really a landing battle. Well, I don't know how many people will die.

Therefore, US President Harry S. Truman and the US military top brass prepared to use the atomic bomb in order to completely extinguish the fighting spirit of the Japanese as soon as possible. End the war. Of course. The use of the atomic bomb also meant that Truman would curb the expansion of the Soviets in the Far East.

In fact, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were hit by two atomic bombs. It's completely unlucky. According to later sources, when Truman decided to drop the atomic bomb on Japan, a total of five cities were identified: Tokyo, Kyoto, Niigata, Kokura, and Hiroshima.

Later, after careful consideration. When you discover this place in Tokyo, there is really no need to bomb it. The two major bombings before and after have almost blown Tokyo into ruins, and at this time, Tokyo was fleeing due to the war and the citizens. In addition to a few troops, there are not even a few people left. Dropping an atomic bomb on this place is a waste.

Kyoto is a rare cultural center in Japan, and the Americans are not as perverted as the Japanese, and they have not been destroyed into ruins as the Japanese have done for many cities in China. The Americans now have the next step in their plan, which is to occupy Japan. And such a cultural center, it is better to blow it up than to rob it. For the sake of your own pockets in the future, it's better not to blow up.

The three most worthwhile targets are Niigata, Kokura and Hiroshima. At this time, Niigata was Japan's aluminum production base, and Kokura was one of the few industrial bases in Kyushu, Japan, that survived the war, and the military industry was very developed. Hiroshima is the base camp of the Japanese Army, the headquarters of the Second General Army for the defense of the Japanese mainland, and all the Japanese Army to China, Korea, Southeast Asia, and the Nanyang Islands depart from Hiroshima. In addition, there are shipyards and naval bases of the Japanese Navy near Hiroshima.

Before the bombing, the U.S. planes, after a lot of reconnaissance, found that the distance in Niigata was a bit far, and it was easy to tire the planes. The weather in Ogura was not very good, and the effect of the fireworks was obviously not good. Only Hiroshima is not far away, and its strategic value is also high, so it is suitable for fat and thin. And Nagasaki, which didn't recruit anyone and didn't mess with anyone, fell into bad luck just because the shipbuilding industry was developed.

1945, August 6 at 8 o'clock in the morning. Three American B-29s flew over Hiroshima. Although the number of eight o'clock in the morning is really disgusting. In later generations, whether it was going to work or school, or meeting and exam, this morning was eight o'clock as a common time.

However, due to this era, there is no otaku species, so a large number of Japanese people have already gotten up and started working. After the repeated conventional bombing by the Americans, the Japanese air defense system has basically collapsed, and the only way to deal with it is to use underground bomb shelters. After repeated bombings, the Japanese citizens of Hiroshima have also developed a calm and unfazed mentality.

These people who have experienced the war know that in general, if there is a big bombing, the Americans have to send at least a few dozen bombers. Only three were sent today, either handing out leaflets or playing soy sauce. Therefore, these Japanese in Hiroshima did not pay attention to the three planes sent by the Americans at all. A group of people gathered around to discuss what the Americans were trying to do when they sent three B-29s over.

No one recognized, at a height of several kilometers, several who had participated in combat missions. But only dropped a bomb with a special identity. These individuals belong to the "509 Group". The members of this group participated in several air raids and bombing operations on major Japanese cities. However, their mission was not to bomb Japan, they were to train.

The members of this group will only carry one bomb at a time, and according to the training plan, each bomb must be dropped at a certain height, the impact point must be accurate, and the explosion must be within the visual range. After a long period of combat training, members of this group. The entire training program can be completed almost perfectly.

On August 6, 1945, at eight o'clock in the morning, the crew members of the three B-29s put on sunglasses that had been prepared in advance. With sunglasses, your eyes won't be stabbed by the glare of the atomic bomb. At 8:16, the first atomic bomb in the history of mankind was dropped by the Americans on Hiroshima, Japan.

The atomic bomb exploded at a distance of six hundred meters from the ground. Then, with the power of destroying and decaying, everything was destroyed. The Japanese, who had originally gathered to discuss what the Americans' three B-29s were up for. Those who are relatively close to the atomic bomb will be destroyed directly. The body fell apart, and there was not even a slag left. At most, it can leave a shadow that remains on the ground or wall due to the evaporation of the body.

People and things that are a little farther away. Incinerated in an instant. The light waves released by the atomic bomb explosion blinded countless people instantly. The 6,000-degree heat burned everything, and the blast wave of the explosion created a violent wind that destroyed all buildings in an instant. Outside of Hiroshima. A huge mushroom cloud can be seen rising from the city.

This atomic bomb killed more than 88,000 Japanese people and destroyed about 70,000 buildings. The number of people who have been disabled is uncountable. The official figure is only 12 out of 10. The more credible data is that 200,000 of the 245,000 people in Hiroshima were killed or wounded. Buildings collapsed throughout the city. Hiroshima was almost completely destroyed. The radiation left behind by the atomic bomb exposed countless Japanese people to radiation, and in the decades that followed, they slowly became ill and died.

Originally, according to the predictions of the Americans, after being bombed by the atomic bomb, the Japanese should have been much more honest, have a clear understanding of the situation, and seize the time to surrender. Unexpectedly, the Japanese still did not accept the "Potsdam Proclamation" issued by the heads of government of China, the United States, and Britain on July 26, 1945.

To be sure, the Potsdam Proclamation was not harsh for the Japanese who are now at the end of their rope. As long as they abandon their military armament, they can continue to survive. Moreover, sovereignty can be retained. If the Japanese did not accept the Potsdam Proclamation and the Allies counterattacked Japan, then Japan's demise was inevitable. Not only will the army not be able to keep it, the population will die in large numbers, and even the existence of sovereignty will be questionable.

If the Japanese did not surrender, then the final outcome could only be to be divided into two parts, East Germany and West Germany, just like Germany. At that time, Japan was not as good as Germany, because even if Germany was divided, the land would be contiguous. A single boundary is not enough to cut off the various ties of a country or a people.

But Japan is different. If it is divided, then the several islands of Japan will inevitably be controlled by the countries that issued the Potsdam Proclamation. Hokkaido would probably belong to the Soviets, and Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu would necessarily belong to the Americans. Chinese may be able to take back a series of small islands near the island of Taiwan......

If this is the case, after decades of the Cold War and decades of indoctrination of different cultures, not to mention the fact that the Japanese will not have the economic take-off that they have done in later generations, it is even a question of whether or not this nation exists. The biggest possibility is that, like the Korean and North Koreas, although they are one nation, they are opposed to each other and are constantly fighting. Where there will be the ability to provoke future generations.

In other words, why didn't the Japanese accept the Potsdam Proclamation a little later? What is he anxious about?

After the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, the Japanese were not ready to surrender. At the same time as the news was blocked, the propaganda to the people was that there was no atomic bomb, and this big explosion was actually nothing more than a meteorite falling. Although a few people died and some buildings were broken, it was good luck and peace. It was an auspicious omen from the heavens of Amaterasu, and Americans were not afraid of the clouds at all.

Yu Sheng was speechless after seeing the Japanese so publicized. He very much suspects that the person who wrote this public relations advertorial was an online writer who traveled from later generations. Imagination is literally breaking through the sky.

And the Japanese high-level officials, who knew what was going on, did not think that the atomic bomb could really destroy Japan. While pacifying the deceitful people, Japan's remaining weapons experts and physicists were urgently summoned. Discuss strategies for dealing with the atomic bomb. In fact, Japan in World War II also studied the atomic bomb. However, because talents and national strength cannot keep up, the research progress lags far behind the United States. Japan, on the other hand, thinks that even if the Americans have an atomic bomb, they will only have one. Since it has already been bombed, it will not have any impact on Japan. After all, the worst has already happened.

Therefore, the Japanese very firmly rejected the Potsdam Proclamation. This made the bosses of the Allies, the Americans, very embarrassed. It's okay if he was attacked by the original little brother. As a result, when he hit the door of the original little brother's house, the original little brother did not admit it. Even if the house is blown up, it is unbearable to come out and apologize and admit it! The aunt is bearable, but the uncle is unbearable.

The Americans decided to drop another atomic bomb on Japan, telling their younger brother that there was never more than one atomic bomb in the old family. If you dare not surrender. I'm going to blow them all up. See what you use to stop the boss from landing!

On August 9, 1945, members of the "509 Group" flew to Ogura in Japan in a B-29. Since Kokura was one of the few military factories that the Japanese managed to retain during the war, there was also a good air defense system. There were not only fighters, but also intensive anti-aircraft fire. Of course, these Japanese soldiers who fired anti-aircraft guns did not know that they were actually dying. If the B-29 were to be shot down and the plane was to explode with an atomic bomb in the air, they would be like the people in Hiroshima who had been evaporated and only a shadow remained.

However, the luck of these Japanese is clearly good. Their anti-aircraft guns did not hit the B-29, and, due to the bad weather, thick clouds and extremely low visibility, the fighters did not take off in time. So, the American B-29 abandoned Kogura and flew Nagasaki instead. (To be continued.) )
