"Be careful, there may be survivors who will survive..."

In the jungle, an officer whose entire body was wrapped in a protective suit said to his subordinates with a little caution. It's just that when he said this, it was obvious that even he didn't believe it very much.

Because on the road just now, they have seen a lot of shrimp like shrimp...

"Uhhhhhh

However, when the group entered what looked like a Japanese camp, looking at the corpses strewn all over the camp, a soldier suddenly covered his mouth and bent down.

"Really, haven't you vomited enough..."

Shaking his head, the officer patted the soldier on the back, but when he saw a Japanese soldier curled up like a shrimp, the officer's face became a little ugly. What's more, there are such things everywhere in the camp now, and although the officers can be regarded as crawling out of the pile of dead people, they will feel a little uncomfortable in such a place.

Fortunately, the soldier had vomited many times along the way, so this time it was just retching, and there was no need to take off the mask, otherwise there would be some trouble.

In fact, they don't need to be so careful, because at this time, it has been almost a week since the bombing of the Air Force bombers. VX gas, on the other hand, is a persistent gas, but its killing effect lasts only a few hours to a few days and nights.

In other words, even if there is still a residual poisonous gas in the jungle, it is basically in a harmless stage.

However, VX gas is only a poison gas discovered by the Nationalist government two years ago, although it has been tested countless times in the past two years, and even in the jungles of Southeast Asia. But because of the incredible lethality of this poisonous gas, it is basically just skin exposure. There is a high probability that they will cause death, so the Wehrmacht will have to be cautious.

The reason why VX is far more famous than several other nerve agents in later generations is because in the late 60s of the 20th century, there were several "embarrassing" incidents related to VX poison ammunition.

In March 1968, the U.S. Army conducted a series of tests with nerve agents at the Dagway Test Site in Utah. March 13 at 6 p.m. An F4 Phantom jet roared over the base, and canisters suspended underneath the plane sprinkled VX liquid on an unmarked patch of ground. One of the jars malfunctioned. Most of the venom had been distributed at the intended height, but approximately 9.07 kilograms of poison remained in the malfunctioning canister. As the jet flew out of its course, VX poison leaked out of the canister. At that time, the plane was still at a high altitude with winds of 56 km/h. Nervous gas is suspended in the air. Finally drifted to the ground in the Valley of the Skull.

The site is located about 32 km from the test site. A few hours later, a large number of sheep grazing in the valley died of poisoning. Local photographers and television crews rushed to the scene to witness 6,000 dead sheep being thrown into hastily dug trenches. In the words of the U.S. military's press officer: The domestic and international propaganda reports of eyewitnesses on the scene dealt a fatal blow to the US chemical and biological warfare program.

In the summer of 1969, bad news came unexpectedly. At the U.S. military base on the Japanese island of Okinawa, VX nerve agent seeped out of a container, poisoning 23 servicemen and hospitalizing them. This makes the incident doubly serious, as it not only makes people more uneasy about the security measures at the chemical weapons sites. It also made the Japanese government aware of the presence of chemical weapons on their soil.

Therefore, although the government of the National Society is very fond of this powerful poisonous gas, it is also quite cautious in its use.

If it had not been for the offensive on the Nanyang Islands, the casualties would have been too great, and the Communist government would not have decided to drop VX gas on the battlefield—————— which would have been similar to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the United States. …,

Historically, before the surrender of Nazi Germany on May 8, 1945. The Allies were already planning a decline operation in preparation for an attack on the Japanese mainland. Operation Decline consists of two parts, Operation Olympic and Operation Little Crown, with Operation Olympic first capturing southern Kyushu and securing an air base, followed by Kyushu providing air support for Operation Little Crown. It was expected to begin in October 1945. The goal of Operation Olympic was to attack Kyushu, the southernmost region of the Japanese archipelago. Operation Little Crown was scheduled to begin in March 1946, with the First Army landing on the Boso Peninsula and the Eighth Army attacking in Hiratsuka City in Sagami Bay. After landing, the two armies went north separately. Eventually, we met in Tokyo. The Allies will send European troops to support.

Geographically, there were few sandy beaches suitable for landing on the Japanese archipelago, so it was very difficult to formulate a battle plan, and the only landing sites were in the southern part of Kyushu and the southern Kanto Plain on the island of Honshu, and the situation was clearly favorable to the Japanese army. The Japanese army put forward a decisive battle defense plan to defend Kyushu with all its might. In March 1945, four divisions were transferred from the Kwantung Army stationed in Manchuria. Japan had 45 divisions at its disposal, most of which were aimed at defending the coastline. It is not possible to move with the movement, but 16 of the divisions have a high degree of mobility. The Japanese Army has 2.3 million troops, 4 million naval and army reserves, and 28 million national volunteers ready to defend the Japanese mainland. Estimates of the number of casualties in the attack on the Japanese mainland vary, but the numbers were enormous. Vice Admiral Takijiro Onishi of the Imperial Japanese Navy's Command Department expects the death toll in Japan to reach 20 million.

On June 15, 1945, a Joint War Commission report sent to the Joint Chiefs of Staff indicated that Operation Olympic would cause between 130,000 and 220,000 U.S. casualties, with a death toll ranging from 25,000 to 46,000. U.S. Army Chief of Staff George? Marshall and five-star Admiral Douglas? MacArthur later signed the paper, agreeing to the Joint War Commission's estimated casualties.

Quincy the politician? Quincy Wright vs. physicist William? Shockley estimated that the Allied attack on the Japanese mainland would result in 1.7 million to 4 million U.S. casualties, with a death toll of between 400,000 and 800,000. The Japanese casualties ranged from 5 million to 10 million.

Later George? Marshall began to consider a weapon that would "significantly and certainly reduce U.S. casualties," so the Allies moved chemical weapons (including phosgene, mustard gas, tear gas, and cyanogen chloride) from Australia to Luzon in preparation for the Olympic operation. Five-star Admiral Douglas? MacArthur established that the chemical troops had been trained to use these weapons.

Eventually, the United States decided to use a weapon that would effectively reduce Allied casualties.

This is the atomic bomb.

When the atomic bomb was put into use in Hiroshima, the Allies heard a quote from a Japanese broadcaster...

"Almost everything alive, including humans and animals, was burned to death"

So for the national government. The use of chemical weapons is also necessary, as long as it can effectively reduce the casualties of the Wehrmacht.

Of course, there is another thing that can make the government of the National Communist.

That is, chemical warfare began a long time ago, when the war between China and Japan broke out. Faced with its own retreat, Japan began to drop balloons carrying bacteriological weapons on enemy countries as it did in history.

Among them, China, which is closest to Japan, is naturally the main target.

Leaving aside for the time being how many balloon bombs dropped on the United States have successfully reached their destinations, almost all of them have arrived at China.

In the end, the government had no choice but to build as many radar stations as possible, and by the way, increase the density of air patrols. As soon as such a bomb is found, the balloon is shot down.

However, even so, there are still fish that slip through the net from time to time.

Historically, the balloon bomb was a weapon used by Japan during World War II and is believed to have been designed by Hidetoshi Arakawa in 1942. As a result, he himself was convicted of a war criminal by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East and sentenced to seven years in prison. …,

A total of about 9,000 balloon bombs (16,000 according to some sources) were dropped within six months. The United States suffered small losses. Caused some civilian casualties and frequent forest fires.

However, due to the news control measures taken by the United States to prevent information leakage, the Japanese army could not confirm the results of the battle through American media reports. At the same time, the U.S. military analyzed the sand and gravel components in the sandbags carried in the recovered balloons. The approximate location of the balloon factories was deduced, and the bombing of these factories intensified, forcing the Japanese to move the balloon factories around.

Later, the Japanese side did not know what the effect would be. In addition, the domestic war industry was attacked by the US military and suffered heavy losses, and the plan was suspended.

But now it is different, Japan and China are simply across the sea, and Japan has a large number of spies lurking in China. While most of these spies are unable to detect any secrets, things like the effects of balloon bombs can. So now, almost every week or so, you can see a lot of balloon bombs floating from Japan—————— but they are cheap to build and easy to make.

It's just compared to a bacteriological bomb. After all, VX poison gas is still too overbearing, so there are some concerns within the government before using it. In the end, it was the reduction of casualties that allowed this resolution to pass...

And now, after using VX poison gas, the Wehrmacht has sent a considerable number of troops, wearing protective clothing, into the jungle where poison gas has been used, wanting to see how the actual effect is—————— of course, Dai Anlan and others are not worried that the effect of the poison gas bomb will not be useful, they also have a considerable understanding of the power of VX poison gas.

They are worried about whether the poison gas will not dissipate automatically in the jungle after using it.

If that's the case, then things will be in big trouble.

Moreover, when the weapons were dropped, there were also cases where one or two poison gas bombs did not explode, and eventually these gas bombs fell to the ground and did not know what happened, and the Wehrmacht also needed to find and recover them as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if one day in the future these flights go off, things will be in trouble...

So, the soldiers were sent out, and their mission, in addition to determining whether the jungle was dangerous, was to confirm the actual effect of VX gas.

After all, in the past, the subjects of poison gas experiments were all animals, but this one was a human...

"It's really miserable to die..."

Squatting down, after peeling off the clothes of a Japanese who died of poison gas with a knife, looking at the almost melted skin of this Japanese, the military doctor who had been wrapped in protective clothing from top to bottom said lightly.

Although he said that it was miserable. But judging by his expression, it doesn't seem to be so...

Seeing the military doctor so insensitive, the soldiers around him were somewhat resentful.

As soldiers, although they will not sympathize with the Japanese, they have seen these Japanese die so tragically, and they are still being ...... after their deaths If their hearts are very comfortable. That's hell to come.

However, the military doctor did not care about this, and after calling his assistant, he and his assistants put the Japanese man's body into a closed body bag.

"It's a very useful specimen..."

As he spoke, the military doctor got up and said to the officer who was looking at him coldly.

"It looks like this is a Japanese camp in the jungle, and it seems that all the Japanese in the camp are dead. In that case, please ask the chief to clean up all the corpses here. lest there be pestilence or anything in the future..."

Nodding, the officer didn't say much, just beckoned his subordinates, ready to light a fire, and planned to find a place to bury it after it was burned—————— which would be much more convenient, you must know that there are hundreds of corpses in this camp, and if you really have to dig a pit for hundreds of people, it will really exhaust people. …,

It's better to burn them all to ashes. In this way, it is estimated that it will be enough to dig a pit for a dozen people.

The military doctor who found a place to sit down seemed to have become accustomed to the attitude of the people around him, and after cleaning up a little what was originally used as something similar to corpse oil, the military doctor took off his mask and revealed an extremely young face.

"Whew. I can finally get some fresh air..."

————————————————————

After determining that VX gas would not cause any incalculable consequences, the Wehrmacht began to use VX gas on a large scale, of course, it was impossible to use it everywhere, and the main area of use was still jungles and other areas where the Japanese army hid, and if it was a terrain such as plains, it was directly pushed through.

In the face of such an offensive approach of the Wehrmacht. Although Japan also shipped a large number of gas masks and other equipment to the South Sea Islands, it was completely ineffective.

The reason is simple, because VX gas is not an effective protective device for gas masks at all. As long as there is skin exposed. VX gas can burst out with incredible lethality.

Therefore, if you want to protect against VX gas, you must have professional protective clothing.

And in some professional laboratories of the national government, there are even protective suits for oxygen supply equipment. In contrast, the Japanese obviously do not have such conditions.

Leaving aside the question of whether the Japanese can or not have protective clothing, and even if they do, it will be too late in time.

So when the Communist government began to use chemical weapons on a large scale on the battlefield. The Japanese army began to accelerate its retreat, and the jungle and other areas that had been plaguing the Wehrmacht had been plagued all along. It was gradually conquered.

On the other hand, governments have ignored the blatant use of chemical weapons on the battlefield by the national government.

This is not to say that they don't want to trouble the Nationalist government, it's just that they really don't have the courage to openly embarrass the Nationalist government when the Russian battlefield still needs the Nationalist government.

In China, there are a lot of virgin-type guys, but they are constantly croaking there.

Fortunately, in this world, there is still so-called wartime press control...

So...

————————————————————

While the Wehrmacht was advancing on the battlefield in Southeast Asia, a fierce battle broke out between Japan and the United States in Hawaii.

Since Pearl Harbor, the United States has been on the defensive.

However, while being on the defensive, the Americans are also painstakingly recovering their strength.

Now, when the United States has finally regained a certain strength, it has officially decided to return to the Asian battlefield, and the reason for this result is very simple, that is, the national government is getting closer and closer to Australia...

If the whole of East Asia, or even the whole of Asia, can be ceded to China, then Australia absolutely cannot. So the Americans, having regained some strength a little, began to storm Hawaii.

This is also impossible, although the Americans also want to go directly to Australia, but with Hawaii in the middle, it is really difficult to do so.

On the other hand, after losing a considerable number of capital ships in the Philippine naval battle, the Japanese Combined Fleet, which was replenished with two Yunryu-class aircraft carriers, was on par with the Americans in Hawaii.

There's no way around it...

Of course, the Japanese knew very well what the Americans were doing so presumptuously, but the Japanese could not let the Americans go. Leaving aside for the time being whether the United States will pose a threat to the Japanese mainland after the occupation of Hawaii, if the United States is allowed to go to Australia, then Australia's Japanese forces will most likely be attacked from both China and the United States.

You know, although China and the United States do not deal with each other, their target is Australia, which remains the same...

Therefore, in any case, it is impossible for the Japanese to let the Americans pass.

Not only that, but Japan also had to defend Hawaii to avoid a threat to the United States on its homeland.

However, at this point, more and more Japanese people are becoming pessimistic about the outcome.

After all, today's Japan is fighting against two behemoths at the same time...
