Chapter 518: Nuclear Explosion Japan
Outside Berlin, large-caliber heavy artillery was entering the artillery position, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers were all looking serious. Visit to download txt novel //
"Is this Berlin..."
Looking at the city in the distance, which was shrouded in smoke, a young soldier turned to his superiors.
"Squad leader, is it that after fighting here, the war will be over?"
"After fighting here, there is still Japan left, and then it is estimated that it will be over."
Taking a hard puff of his cigarette, the squad leader continued after throwing the remaining half to the ground and trampling it out.
"That's fucking enough, it's been more than two years..."
Hearing the squad leader say this, the faces of the other veterans around him were also full of affection.
For more than two years, they have not even returned home once, and almost every day is on the journey. And in the past two years or so, I don't know how many of my companions have fallen on the battlefield, and no one even knows if they will fall with them.
To be honest, almost every soldier has a tense nerves when he is on the battlefield.
But now, it's finally time for the final step.
Finally hit Berlin, and then as long as Berlin is successfully taken, and then Japan is taken, this war, which has lasted for nearly five years, can be over.
Although China entered the war relatively late compared with Britain, France, Germany and other countries, and even later than the United States, they really fought enough.
"Anyway, it's finally the last step, and I must live to the end..."
Looking at Berlin in the distance, a veteran took out a jade Buddha statue from his collar and prayed there sincerely.
Although China entered the war later than other countries, it can even be said that it was the last country to enter the war among all the major countries. But since China's battlefields are spread all over the world, from Asia to Europe and even to Oceania, China's losses are not small.
So far, there are only rough statistics, but the Ministry of Defense believes that the number of Wehrmacht soldiers killed on the battlefield in the past two years or so has approached one million, and the number of casualties is even more staggering.
Therefore, no one dares to guarantee that they will not die on the battlefield inexplicably, the same. No one wants to fall on the battlefield when the war is about to end.
Because of this, almost everyone's heart is full of survival at this time.
And on the other hand, it is precisely for this reason. Cai Ye and other commanders above were a little worried. After all, the war is coming to an end, and the minds that have become hot because of the war have begun to calm down, and some officers have begun to react to Cai Ye and others, as they get closer and closer to Berlin. Quite a few soldiers became shy back when they were fighting.
This is not a good phenomenon, and Cai Yi and others are also very concerned about this problem. However, there is no better solution for them, after all, it is a very reasonable state of mind. Fortunately, by this time, the war had become a foregone conclusion, and there was no need to worry about any adverse impact on the outcome of the war.
In fact, over the past few months, although this mood has prevailed in the lower echelons of the troops. However, the advance of the troops was still very fast, and by the beginning of 44 they had already advanced to the area near Berlin, and the German units responsible for interception were all routed by the troops commanded by Cai Yi.
On the other hand, Patton, Eisenhower and others also made rapid progress, and in a few months, they basically liberated the whole of France, and finally went directly to Berlin, which is now only more than 100 kilometers away.
And now, the Americans don't want to get into Berlin first. All I wanted was to enter Berlin with the Chinese. Lest all the scenery be robbed by the Chinese.
After all, in the current situation, it is really unrealistic to enter Berlin one step ahead of the Chinese, but it is easier to enter with the Chinese. And judging by the current situation, it is not impossible for the Americans to realize this idea, or it is very likely to be realized. β¦,
Because although the resistance of the Germans was very stubborn, the Americans were only a little more than a hundred kilometers away from Berlin after all. On the other hand, the Chinese have arrived under the city of Berlin. But Berlin's own defense forces are still relatively strong, especially in urban warfare. It was a meat grinder-like war, and the chances of Hitler's character capitulating were very small.
So before the Chinese occupied Berlin. The likelihood of the arrival of the Americans and their allies came to mind.
At that time, even if the Allies only catch up with the end, they will be able to share the honor of entering Berlin with Chinaββββββ if nothing happens to them, this idea of the Americans is really likely to come true.
However, there is such a thing as an accident in this world...
Atomic bomb...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"I'm finally going to do this..."
Standing on the airport of the Beijing Military Region, looking at the H40 bomber that was loading two special weapons there, Yan Guang said with emotion but no regrets.
At this time, Yan Guang already knew very well that with his orders, hundreds of thousands of people would soon pay a huge price because of these two 'little things' in front of him, but he did not regret it.
Because as early as more than 30 years ago, he knew very well that if he wanted to reduce the casualties of the attack on Japan, he had to use this weapon.
With such a thing, hundreds of thousands of people may die in Japan, but if they were not used, then the Wehrmacht itself would have to pay a price of millions. And in the process of the war, Japan itself will pay a great price, these costs include not only soldiers, but also civilians, of course, Yan Guang does not sympathize with these civilians, because Japan's war is precisely supported by these civilians, and those soldiers who are full of bestiality are also selected from these civilians...
Maybe in the later generations, there will be some guys with the overflowing heart of the Virgin Mary who will question Yan Guang, why didn't he choose the best of both worlds at that time, and choose a method that would not kill...
But if he can really live to that day, Yan Guang will definitely disdain it.
Perhaps in some later films, television, and even anime, there will be a magical protagonist who will reduce the disasters caused by war in a bloodless way. But after all, that's only something that appears on the screen, and in real history, this situation is simply not possible.
What will emerge is just a bloody fact that is more brutal than the other.
So even if one day in the future, there will be countless people scolding him, Yan Guang still won't regret it...
"That, President. Let's take a step back for a moment..."
Watching the two most primitive atomic bombs being pushed out of the closed, lead-made warehouse, the astronaut-like soldiers, Feng Nan said to Yan Guang on the side.
By this time, nuclear radiation had already been discovered. So looking at the two atomic bombs from such a close distance, Feng Nan and the surrounding officers and officials were a little uncomfortable, after all, it was a fatal thing to be loaded in.
Although Feng Nan himself can be regarded as stepping out of the battlefield step by step, he still adheres to a respectful attitude towards this kind of thing.
"Well..."
Looking at the people around him, it seems that they want to stay away from this thing. Yan Guang could only nod helplessly.
"Then let's go farther..."
He wasn't very worried about radiation, after all, no matter how terrifying this thing was, it couldn't be so terrifying that it could kill people in the blink of an eye.
What really made Yan Guang feel uncomfortable was the atomic bomb itself.
I know that the atomic bomb doesn't explode if you just drop it like ordinary munitions. There's no special way to activate it, and it's basically safe. But as long as he thought about the power of this thing, just standing near this thing, Yan Guang felt uncomfortable for a while. β¦,
If it weren't for the fact that this was an atomic bomb show, and the target of the bombing was still Japan, Yan Guang would not have been able to find himself uncomfortable here.
Not long after, Yan Guang and the other government officials left the distance, and the soldiers at the base on the other side also sent two atomic bombs into one bomberββββββ after all, they were two targets, and it was difficult to let one bomber run twice.
That would not only delay the effort. And there is also a high probability that the bombing operation will fail because it was shot down by the Japanese.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Under the eyes of Yan Guang and others. Two bombers took off from the runway of the airfield and flew in the direction of Japan.
On the command tower, Yan Guang and the others were also silently praying that their actions would go smoothly.
Because of the need to be as careful as possible in this operation, the two bombers were not escorted by fightersββββββ if a large number of planes flew over, the Japanese radar would not be blind and would definitely detect it. At that time, it would not be good if the Japanese fighters took to the air to intercept them.
On the contrary, it is H40, and if you act alone, it may not be a problem.
In fact, the same has been true of the US military in history. Since the bombing of Japan by the United States was about to become a common practice at that time, the appearance of the bombers that dropped the atomic bomb did not cause a reaction from the Japanese army.
It was at this time. The bomber dropped the atomic bomb ...
And then, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were gone ...
As in history, the Kokusha government was targeting Hiroshima and Nagasaki as well. The purpose of dropping the atomic bomb was naturally to force Japan to surrender.
By this time, Japan had lost most of its territory, including the Ryukyus, and only one Korea, and the Japanese mainland were still surviving there.
In addition, due to the mountainous nature of the northern part of Korea, the Wehrmacht was unable to effectively carry out bombing and use armored forces, and the Japanese forces in Korea were quite strong, so in order to avoid a large number of casualties, the Wehrmacht did not move the Korean land.
Instead, they concentrated their efforts on bombing the Japanese mainland, and by the way, waited for the early appearance of the atomic bomb, so that Japan could surrender directly.
After a long wait, the atomic bomb was finally developed ahead of schedule in early 44. The first one was detonated in Lop Nur, and because it has long been known for the atomic bomb, a weapon that costs a lot of money, when the atomic bomb was about to be tested, except for a few who were really inseparable, even Cai Yi, who was still commanding troops in the European theater at that time, rushed back from Europe by special plane.
Although many people are well aware of the truth that science is the primary productive force, and many people are also very clear about the role of science and technology in warfare, the atomic bomb is too mysterious after all, so before seeing it with their own eyes, most people still have some doubts in their hearts.
And the atomic bomb proved itself precisely in front of these people.
When the first atomic bomb was detonated, the sky and the earth changed color almost instantly.
If Yan Guang and the others hadn't been wearing protective goggles at that time, I'm afraid that their eyes would have been blinded by the atomic bomb at the first time.
And everything that followed also proved the power of the atomic bomb.
The atomic bomb is one of the nuclear weapons, and it is a weapon of mass destruction that uses photothermal radiation, shock waves, and induced radioactivity from nuclear reactions to cause lethal and destructive effects, as well as to cause large-scale radioactive contamination and prevent the other side's military operations to achieve strategic objectives. It mainly includes fission weapons and fusion weapons. Some also put light elements with induced radiation inside the weapon to increase the radiation intensity and expand the pollution. or intensify neutron radiation to kill or injure people.
The energy released when a nuclear weapon explodes is much greater than that of a conventional weapon containing only chemical explosives. For example, the energy released by the full fission of 1 kilogram of uranium is about 8x1013 joules more than the energy of 4.19x106 joules released by the explosion of 1 kilogram of TNT explosives, which is about 20 million times greater. Hence the total energy released by the explosion of nuclear weapons. That is, the magnitude of its power, which is often expressed by the amount of TNT explosives that release the same energy, is called TNT equivalent. The TNT yield of various nuclear weapons equipped by the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries is only 1,000 tons, or even lower; The largest is up to 10 million tons. Even higher. β¦,
The destructive power and destructive methods of the atomic bomb mainly include optical radiation, shock wave, early nuclear radiation, electromagnetic pulse and radioactive contamination.
After the detonation of an atomic bomb, the nuclear explosion process releases intense radiation light. When an atomic bomb with a yield of about 20,000 tons explodes in the air, people 7,000 meters away from the core of the explosion will be exposed to light radiation 13 times stronger than sunlight. At a range of 2,800 meters, light radiation can quickly blind people, and the skin will burn and ulcerate extensively due to light radiation, and some objects will also burn.
After the atomic bomb is exploded, the nuclear explosion creates a huge overpressure of the air current. A 30,000-ton atomic bomb exploded at a distance of 800 meters from the core of the explosion. The shock wave will sweep everything at a speed of 200 meters per second.
Within a few tens of seconds of the initial detonation of the atomic bomb. A nuclear explosion releases a stream of neutrons and Ξ³ rays. When a 20,000-ton atomic bomb explodes, personnel within 1,100 meters of it are extremely vulnerable to radiation and neutron streams.
In addition, the nuclear explosion caused by the atomic bomb will create an electromagnetic pulse, and the electric field strength of the electromagnetic pulse can reach 10,000 to 100,000 volts, which can completely destroy all electronic equipment around the detonation point.
At the same time, after the atomic bomb exploded, a large amount of radioactive dust fell to the ground as the mushroom cloud drifted away, causing irradiation or skin burns to the human body. In severe cases, it eventually leads to death.
Of course, they don't have a chance to experience these strict lights, but the Japanese have a chance.
On the other hand. Look at the huge mushroom cloud rising from the ground, and the impact that is spreading around. Almost all of them, including Cai Ye and Yan Guang, were shocked.
It is not surprising that although Yan Guang already knew the power of the atomic bomb, there are very few people who can see the explosion of nuclear weapons even in later generations. And ordinary people like Yan Guang have almost only the opportunity to watch from TV or computer.
And watching from TV and computer, the effect is undoubtedly not comparable to that of live viewing.
It was precisely this viewing that completely changed the concept of the vast majority of generals, and many generals also strongly expressed that they wanted atomic bombs and more atomic bombs. I didn't think about the consequences of the misuse of this weapon, and if I did, when the war was over, the whole earth would be devastated.
And the nuclear radiation after the detonation of this thing is not something that is easy to solve.
But even so, Yan Guang still felt that the opinions of these generals were correct, after all, only by maintaining a certain number of nuclear weapons could the posture of nuclear deterrence be maintained.
Of course, this number does not need too much, for Yan Guang 10003000 is enough, after all, China's main opponents are the United States, Russia and European countries, 1,000 to 3,000 is enough, no matter how much it is, it is just a waste of maintenance money, after all, whether it is to destroy the earth once or to destroy the earth poetry, the result is the same.
As for Yan Guang's decision to build atomic bombs in large quantities, although most of the generals at that time agreed, there were also some generals who frowned...

Leaving aside the number of atomic bombs, the two bombers finally arrived at their destination, Japan, after flying over the sea.
After approaching the Japanese mainland, the navigators of the two bombers quickly confirmed the location of Hiroshima and Nagasaki based on some structures on the ground. Since the H40 bomber flew at a speed that was fast even among the fighters of this era, the two bombers arrived in Hiroshima and Nagasaki soon after adjusting their orientation.
And at this time, looking at the two bombers that suddenly appeared overhead, the Japanese were somewhat strange, because in the past, the bombing of the Wehrmacht Air Force was not new to the Japanese, but like today, there is only one coming, which is really a little...
Perhaps because of the strange relationship, even the anti-aircraft fire of the two cities did not react as quickly as usual. And it was at this time that two bombers opened the bomb bay at the same time in two different places ...
It was also under the attention of the people on the ground that two atomic bombs with parachutes slowly fell, but at this time, the bomber pilot in charge of dropping the bombs turned around and ran, not wanting to see the magnificent scene after the atomic bomb explosion at all...
"Boom !!"
Just after the bomber flew out of the danger zone, two mushroom clouds rose at the same time ...
