Chapter 597: Agent Orange
In a basement somewhere in Seoul, Pak Chung-dong, the leader of the Korean National Front, looked straight ahead with a pale face, motionless, and he had maintained this posture for more than half an hour, just three days before he was confident that Korean independence was at hand. In just three days, instead of achieving his goal, he completely cut off his comrades-in-arms and comrades, countless Korean nationalists, and countless outstanding youths all died tragically in the Japanese massacre.
The Japanese army moved tanks and artillery into the city, desperately slaughtering the Korean insurgents, and later, even civilians could not escape, and the entire Seoul lost control and became a living hell, with more than 100,000 Koreans slaughtered in more than three days.
There was a strong smell of blood wafting in the sky above Seoul, and even the birds did not dare to fall, as if countless ghosts were shouting and shouting in the air!
As the leader of the uprising, Park Zhengdong was initially very sure, hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops surrounded Seoul, and the Japanese defenders inside were demoralized, as long as the inside and outside should be able to easily take the city, so he did not hesitate to plan this operation.
At first, the operation went very smoothly, they contacted enough young students and officers, mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and at the same time got in touch with China, obtained China's material support and guarantees, and everything went so smoothly.
Just two hours before the uprising officially began, the Chinese side also concentrated heavy artillery on the western defense line of Seoul, as if the onslaught of the Chinese army was imminent. Park Chung-dong immediately ordered it to be launched, and the South Koreans unexpectedly occupied a large number of strategic points.
But this is when the Chinese suddenly stopped attacking, the artillery stopped, and even the planes disappeared. Later, the stabilized Japanese army launched a counterattack, and a large number of Korean rebels were killed by the Japanese army. One by one, important strongholds were lost. Countless young people have shed their blood on the streets.
After getting these messages. Park Jung-dong is almost stupid, most of these young people are educated, they are the essence of South Korea's nation, and some are even the middle leaders of the National Front. It is also for the core strength of building the country, and now these people are shedding blood and sacrificing in vain, how can they not let Park Jung-dong's heart drip blood.
He desperately sent telegrams to the Chinese side, asking for Chinese support. To his surprise, however, all the telegrams were lost, and there was no reply at all. It was not until dawn that the Chinese telegram arrived belatedly, and the content was simple, that is, the situation of the war had changed, and the uprising had been postponed!
Seeing these eight words, Park Zhengdong almost vomited blood and died on the spot, there was no such thing as playing with people, an uprising had already been launched here, and the Japanese were fighting to the death. After fighting all night, a fluttering telegram from China told them that the uprising had been cancelled. Isn't this watching them die?
Park Zhengdong made desperate contacts, and finally got the news that the Chinese armored forces had moved westward, mainly to take down all the Japanese defensive lines near the 38th parallel.
Although Park Zhengdong has no military common sense, he also knows that the key to the Korean War is in Seoul, as long as Seoul is taken, half of North Korea will already be in his hands, and now the Chinese army is abandoning Seoul and attacking Japanese troops in other regions, which is simply a joke!
At this time, Park Zhengdong suddenly realized that he was most likely deceived by China, and then he found his main assistant, and now the number of people in front of him has been more than one-third less than the meeting before the uprising, some of these people are still commanding fierce battles, and some have died in Huangquan, Park Zhengdong saw this, and his heart was full of grief and indignation.
"Comrades, we have been betrayed by China!"
After saying this, Park Zhengdong cried loudly, everyone present was not stupid, everyone quickly understood the meaning of the chairman's words, China did not send reinforcements, nor did it cooperate with their actions, but let them over to the Japanese, seeing that the Japanese wiped them all out, this hand borrowed a knife to kill people played very beautifully.
"Japan is a jackal, China is a devil! They have put aside benevolence and righteousness, and have become complete villains, ruthlessly playing tricks on the Koreans, but it is ridiculous that we thought that we could drive out the Japanese with China's support, and now it seems that China is the biggest enemy of Korea! Park Jung-dong gritted his teeth.
He seems to have forgotten how many Koreans acted as lackeys for the Japanese, and how the North Koreans took advantage of China's weakness to constantly stretch their hands and claws to the northeast of China.
Three days passed, and the comrades around Park Zhengdong were killed by Japan one after another, and he could no longer bear this blow, so he resolutely chose to commit suicide and end his life. There are also those who have surrendered to Japan and want to become lackeys of the Japanese again. At this time, the Japanese had already killed the red eye, and they slaughtered all the Koreans who surrendered.
In an instant, it seemed that the world had collectively abandoned the Koreans, and the civil strife in Seoul was fatal for both South Korea and Japan, with 100,000 Koreans slaughtered, the national essence lost, more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers killed, and more than 10,000 expatriates tortured and killed by the Koreans.
More importantly, the insurgents set fire to a large number of buildings, and most of the buildings in Seoul were already blown up, but now they are burned to the ground, without the cover of these buildings, it becomes extremely difficult to fight street battles.
It was only at this time that Shunroku Hata seemed to be aware that he seemed to have been used by the Chinese to play the role of executioner. The Japanese do not like Koreans, so do the Chinese, and the more they die, the better it is for controlling the land.
Just as Toshiroku Hata was frustrated, the Chinese offensive began, and more than 500 bombers were dispatched to tilt more than 3,000 tons of bombs on the heads of the Japanese at a time, and the heavy tanks once again played the role of pioneers, and the outer positions of Seoul were captured.
A large number of Japanese soldiers were killed, in fact, these Japanese soldiers died unjustly, most of them participated in the suppression of the Koreans, and at this time they were physically and mentally exhausted and slow to react. In the face of China's attack, it is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, completely defenseless.
The Chinese army entered the streets of Seoul, and was also shocked by the aftermath, countless dead bodies lying on the streets, some corpses were piled up in a pile, still burning, the pungent smell of corpses made people almost faint, fortunately the weather is not hot now, otherwise Seoul would become an ideal breeding ground for superbugs.
The army rushed all the way, although the Japanese resisted desperately, it did not play a big role at that time, the Chinese army still advanced steadily, and in no more than seven days, China completely took Seoul.
At this time, Japanese reinforcements were still gathering at the port of Busan, and there was no time to transport them to the front.
The situation in Korea took a sharp turn for the worse, and China advanced the front more than 300 kilometers, and after advancing the front, almost all of China's bombers were able to reach the Japanese mainland, and the fighters stayed in the air for longer periods of time and provided more thorough protection.
China's long-brewing bombing campaign is also about to begin, this time completely different from the previous bombing of industrial areas and military zones, China is targeting Japanese farmland and forests, and China has produced a batch of highly toxic herbicides, the main ingredient of these herbicides is dioxins, which is also known as Agent Orange.
During the Vietnam War, the Americans sprayed it on the forests and farmland of Vietnam, killing trees and rice paddies and depriving the guerrillas of their hiding place.
China is ready to use this method in advance, mainly to destroy Japan's agriculture, the start of the war has only been half a year, China and the United States have dispatched a large number of armored tanks to blockade Japan's four islands, Japan's maritime lifeline is becoming more and more threatening, and at this time to attack Japan's own agriculture, it will inevitably cause a large-scale famine in Japan and seriously weaken Japan's war potential.
And Qiao Yu also knows that Agent Orange is a very toxic substance, and it will take nine years to reduce it by 50% naturally, and it can enter the human body through the food cycle, causing serious sequelae, and even threatening the next generation, causing fetal malformations and other terrible consequences, there is no doubt that Agent Orange is a very inhumane weapon.
Then again, this inhumane weapon was just right against the Japanese crumbs to atone for their sins, and the first batch of Agent Orange was delivered to the airfields on the front line, and it was unclear to all the pilots what kind of demons would be contained in these yellow-striped barrels.
Bombers laden with Agent Orange roared into the blue sky, and this time they targeted the Kanto Plain of Japan, the largest plain in Japan and the most developed agricultural region in Japan, which is densely populated and has a large number of factories, which is the essence of Japan.
Since the beginning of the war, Chinese planes have frequented the area, dropping bombs and incendiary bombs on the factory area, and it is only at this time that the Japanese will reflect on the war, as if it is not a good thing to participate in the war.
This time the Chinese planes appeared again over the Kanto Plain, and the Japanese all took refuge in the air defense facilities, but to their surprise, there was no earth-shattering explosion, could it be that the Chinese bombs were all dropped?
The Japanese did not know anything about Agent Orange, and in the following period, Chinese planes frequently flew over Japan, each time passing along the fields and forests, dropping a surprising amount of Agent Orange, and gradually the Japanese also noticed the abnormality. The crops they just grew were all dead, and seeing the tender green rice withering and yellowing, all the Japanese peasants couldn't help crying, how could they survive without a harvest, especially now that it was still wartime, the Japanese government levied a large amount of grain, and every Japanese peasant could only have a little food left to make ends meet.
If the grain harvest fails, how can they survive, and what is even more worried is the Japanese upper class, when they know that China has sprayed a large number of toxic substances on Japanese farmland, everyone is stupid, they know very well that once there is no food, the Japanese army will collapse, Japan will face the fate of complete defeat, even Emperor Hirohito was alarmed, he can no longer sit still!
