Chapter 365: Yamato Burning (6): Roast Pig
The flames were soaring into the sky, and in the sound of a huge explosion, the entire vicinity of the Emperor's Palace was already in flames. Aerial bombs and napalm still fell from the sky with a long screech.
The lethality of a one-ton bomb and a one-ton napalm far exceeded the bottom line of his own psychology.
The 1,000-kilogram bomb is equipped with a high-energy explosive that is unique to the Republic, and the explosive power of the same unit mass is 30% higher than that of the Allied explosives. It is not only the addition of mysterious substances to the formula, but also the extremely high requirements for the processing of explosive particles.
A 1000kg bomb has a loading coefficient of up to 52%, that is to say, a 1-ton bomb contains as much as 520 kg of high-intensity explosives, plus the power bonus of explosives, the power of a 1-ton Chinese bomb is equivalent to the power of about 1.5 ~ 1.8 1000kg bombs by the Americans.
"What a beautiful night."
Amid the loud explosions and the glow of the fire, Yang Zhengyi leaned by the window, holding a telescope to observe the situation in the Emperor's Palace in the distance.
The explosion first started near the Emperor's Palace, which was the focus of the area. The radio transmitter that Yang was in charge of was one of several units located in the area around the Emperor's Palace.
The rising light of the fire illuminated the courtyard in front of Yang Zhengyi's window, and in the distance, the Emperor's Palace, which had been a symbol of imperial power since the time of the shogun, was burning violently.
Most of the Emperor's Palace is made of wood, and it is still an old wooden building, and the wood is rotten and simple, not to mention burned by a burst of bombs and napalm.
"Appeal ......"
The long scream of pulling sounded overhead again, the sound was too loud, and Yang Zhengyi sometimes had the illusion that the bomb was coming in his direction. These big guys falling from the sky are really huge, and the huge sound wave caused by the fall is enough to bring huge psychological obstacles to ordinary people.
"Boom!"
Sure enough, the bomb was still not towards the courtyard where Yang Zhengyi was, after all, as one of the three points of navigation and positioning, the three points determine a center, and the area around the Emperor's Palace is the most likely to be bombed.
A telescope with low-light night vision that sent everything that exploded into his eyes. At first, before napalm was rampant, he could only hear the loud explosions and see the fire, but now he can see it all through a telescope.
He saw with his own eyes that this bomb landed in a corner of the Emperor's Palace, and countless unknown objects were blown away by the power of the explosion, and the wooden objects were directly ignited by the explosion, and the flames in the sky were like fireworks.
"It's so enjoyable, even if it's blown up here, it's worth it!!"
Before going abroad to carry out the mission, Yang Zhengyi received special training included the training of being bombed, and on the live-fire training ground, he once simulated the explosion of 1000kg or even 1500kg and a half of aerial bombs, and at that time he clearly remembered that the power was not to mention people, even armored vehicles could not survive the explosion range, and the tanks could not survive the close bombing or were covered by artillery groups, not to mention the people in front of him and most of their wooden houses.
He said that most of his buildings were made of wood, even the Emperor's Palace, which caused the bomb to explode, and the fireworks-like wood slag could be seen burning all over the sky, and the direct power of the bomb, the fire after detonation, and the shock wave were several killer features of heavy aerial bombs.
Yang Zhengyi's hand holding the telescope couldn't help but tremble slightly, the feeling during training was completely different from now, although there was no solid steel bunker now, there was no deep underground bunker, but now he could see his own blood flowing like a river. He profoundly knew that there was no coexistence between China and China, and that it was easy for him to surrender to the West in his bones, but even when China was once powerful in history, their submission was hypocritical.
The bombs were falling more and more densely, and he knew that it was a group of planes dropping bombs one after another.
Immediately afterwards, he saw with his own eyes that the Emperor's Palace was hit by a napalm, and the Emperor's Palace, which was less than 30,000 square meters, fell into a sea of fire.
Looking at all this, Yang Zhengyi was a little stupid, could it be that the blood of the Emperor's Palace, which he had imagined countless times, was in front of him, and the Emperor would not be blown up.
The explosion became more and more violent, especially when more and more incendiary bombs fell, and the street where he was located was not safe, and the smell of gunpowder mixed with a faint smell of meat began to waft from the unprecedented, which showed the magnitude of the fire, and he was often wrapped in napalm and burned, and there was no way to extinguish it, and the very densely populated city of Tokyo is now spreading to the entire city centered on the Emperor's Palace and military camps, and the location of some important departments of the military department.
Perhaps it was the smell of roasted or burnt human flesh that made him shudder, as a trained undercover agent, he had seen firsthand the power of a variety of weapons and equipment that had not yet been officially installed. For example, the napalm in front of you is almost the best weapon to bomb a city, especially a city like Tokyo, which has many wooden buildings.
When the fire became more and more intense, even if the area where he was was not directly bombarded, he would die due to lack of air or too much poisonous disgust.
"It's time to retreat!"
Looking at the burning Emperor's Palace, Yang Zhengyi prayed for the Emperor to die in this bombing, although he knew that it was not very practical, but his task had been completed, as for the life and death of the Emperor, it was no longer important in this bombing and the subsequent bombing. Someone in the organization took over his task, and he completed the task, and will return to China with his wife and son, so that his son will recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and the family will live a peaceful life away from the war.
Set the detonation time of the explosive packs and time bombs that have been prepared in the house as a precaution. Yang Zhengyi stuffed an MP45 submachine gun, several magazines, and grenades into his body, put on a gas mask that could supply oxygen, and then turned around and went into the underground tunnel in the courtyard. The underground waterways in Tokyo were modeled after the experience of the West at that time, and some of them had good access conditions, which was also a retreat prepared for him by the organization.
Before climbing inside, he took one last look at the burning city, and finally prayed that he would be able to escape smoothly, and that Tokyo would burn more thoroughly this night.
When Yang escaped into the sewers, the bombardment was only a few minutes into it.
The whole of Tokyo was like an enraged sheep that woke up after being bombed violently.
The sky was filled with bright beams of anti-aircraft searchlights, and Tokyo's dense air defense forces were struggling to search for any bombers that flew by. Even at a time when no anti-aircraft searchlights had been found, anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns were firing frantically into the air.
Not a single so-called dive bomber could be seen in the sky, but the roaring engines could be heard, and the number of planes was so large that it was clear that the night's sudden bombing had just begun.
Ten minutes after the bombing began, it was said that a secret department of the military headquarters was located in an underground command center in the suburbs.
Hideki Tojo's face was cold to the extreme, and his anger had completely ignited him, but it was not that flushed face, but a miserable white face.
“…… Now the priority is to organize death troops and rescue the Emperor's Palace. With a bombing of this magnitude, it is very dangerous for His Majesty the Emperor to remain in the Imperial Palace. ”
Originally, the night would greatly hinder the transmission of news, but the target of the Emperor's Palace was so conspicuous that the news reached the military headquarters as soon as it was bombed.
It just so happened that Hideki Tojo and the dignitaries of the military department were holding a meeting in this underground command center, and as soon as the bombing happened, they immediately reacted.
The first piece of bad news that the members of the council received was the bombing of the Imperial Palace.
Then, a flurry of bad news began.
Nagasaki was bombed.
The Kobe River was bombed.
Hiroshima was bombed.
…… A series of cities were bombed, and some very important shipyards, arsenals, and power stations were destroyed and bombed by the enemy.
According to the report, these enemy planes may not have as many as the bombing of Tokyo, but the bomb load is very amazing, and the bomb power is also very large, and the huge destructive power brought by the heavy aerial bombs mixed with napalm incendiary bombs has made the entire dozen cities in this city feel the most direct experience since the beginning of the war: war is dead, and civilians and locals cannot escape.
Then, the news of the bombing of Tokyo began to spread overwhelmingly.
The Emperor's Palace, the seat of some of the main departments of the military department, airfields, air defense positions, radar stations, barracks, thermal power stations...... Wherever they could reach the strategic level, they began to be heavily bombarded.
Hideki Tojo only felt a chill in his hands and feet, his anger was about to ignite him, and he even had the urge to raise his machine gun and rush out into the street and shoot at the sky.
He didn't even dare to imagine how much damage this bombing would cause to Tokyo and even to Yuben, and he didn't dare to imagine how long the enemy's bombing would last, he only knew that maybe everything the Germans did to the British, the Chinese would use dozens of times more force on Yuben.
But the most critical thing at this time is the core of saving Yamato: His Majesty Emperor Hirohito!
Listening to the continuous explosions coming from the city, Hideki Tojo's fist was about to crush, if it weren't for being one of the heads of the military department, he would have drawn his saber and slashed it.
But at this time, he had to organize a rescue.
"We can organize death squads, and several people in groups will rush into the Emperor's palace to save people. Armored vehicles or tanks can also be used, with watered quilts, and rush directly into them to save people.
If the situation continues to deteriorate, we can continue to excavate the unfinished underground passage under the Imperial Palace and rescue His Majesty the Emperor as soon as possible......"
