Chapter 934: The Great Earthquake (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Emperor Wu Haoxuan left after leaving these words, leaving behind a group of marshals, looking at each other, not knowing what was going on. Wu Haoxuan actually said that God would punish Japan, which was a bit unexpected to them.
"Chief of Staff, what's going on? How does Your Majesty say that God will punish Japan? Marshal Zhao Xifu, Minister of War, asked with a puzzled expression.
"I don't know. However, it is enough to prepare according to His Majesty's requirements. Your Majesty has said anything wrong for so many years? Marshal Shi Tianhan said. Although, he also didn't understand it a little. However, he knew that as long as he did what Wu Haoxuan asked, it would be fine. When the time comes, all the mysteries will be solved naturally.
"Could it be that Your Majesty expected that something would happen to Japan? Only in this way can it be said that Japan will be punished by God. Japan is a country with many volcanoes and earthquakes, and it is not uncommon for volcanoes and earthquakes to occur. Admiral Sa Zhenbing said.
"Well, don't guess about that. When the time comes, it will happen, and it will be known naturally. The 4th Army of the Army, preparing for a landing in Ise Bay. The Navy should make good preparations in this regard. After the completion of the landing of the 4th Army, the 14th Army of the Army will also land in the south of Honshu, and for some time to come, the Navy will be busy. Marshal Shi Tianhan said.
"Rest assured, Chief of Staff. The Navy will never miss a big deal. Marshal Sa Zhenbing patted his chest and reassured.
After defeating the Japanese Navy, the Imperial Navy was already one less henchman. If we can take Yokohama and Kure Harbor in Japan in one fell swoop, we will be able to capture the 'Yamato-class' battleships and 'Amagi-class' battlecruisers that the Japanese Navy is building in one fell swoop. At that time, the threat of the Imperial Navy will be truly lifted. At the same time, the strength will also be greatly increased.
Time passed minute by minute, on the morning of September 1, 4621 A.D. The 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Imperial Marine Corps began their assault on Kitakyushu. The Navy dispatched two battleships, two heavy cruisers, two light cruisers and four destroyers to provide fire support to your 11th Division of the Japanese Army in Kitakyushu, under heavy artillery fire from the Imperial Navy. Heavy losses. It is even more delusional to want to resist the attack of two divisions of the Imperial Marine Corps. It has been proven in the Battle of Fukuoka that the Japanese army is no match for the Imperial * army in street fighting. Street fighting will only cost them more casualties.
Emperor Wu Haoxuan locked himself in his study and did not let anyone disturb him. He sat down in the back of his chair and muttered to himself.
"Calculate the time, probably today! It's time for little Japan to pay a heavy price. In the event of a major earthquake. The entire Kanto Plain will be greatly affected. Japan will be in a mess, and it is even more delusional that they want to continue to fight with the empire. And the empire, without a doubt, can seize this opportunity and deal a fatal blow to Japan. Wu Haoxuan said secretly.
That's right, today is another time and space when the Great Kanto Earthquake occurred. Wu Haoxuan didn't know if this earthquake would happen in this time and space. After all, now history has changed beyond recognition by him.
But. Based on past experience, there is a high probability that this earthquake will occur. Although history is different from another plane. However, many big things still happened. A big event like this shouldn't change.
If the Great Kanto Earthquake breaks out as scheduled, then. It will undoubtedly be much easier for the Empire to win this war. Wu Haoxuan had already made arrangements before, that is, the 4th Army landed in Ise Bay, captured Nagoya, and cut the entire Honshu Island into two sections. The northern part was affected by the earthquake. The chaos became a pot of porridge, and it was simply impossible to send troops in time to besiege the Imperial Army. By the time they had their hands freed, under the siege of the two armies of the Imperial Army, the areas south of Nagoya had probably already fallen into the hands of the Imperial Army. At that time, the Imperial Army took the opportunity to move north and destroy Japan in one fell swoop.
In addition, due to the impact of a major earthquake, Japan's various resources will be rapidly depleted. At this time, Japan was again under the blockade of the Imperial Navy. At that time, Japan's situation will be even more difficult. The empire will then be able to destroy Japan at minimal cost.
Of course, all of this is based on the fact that the Great Kanto Earthquake broke out as scheduled. If the earthquake doesn't erupt, it's all over the place. Wu Haoxuan was also waiting for the news, he was fully prepared, just waiting for the earthquake to break out.
Japan's Kanto region spans the central and eastern part of Japan's Honshu Island, with a total area of 30,000 square kilometers, and the Keihin Industrial Zone, an important industrial area in Japan, is located in the Kanto region. Saturday, September 1, 4621 A.D., Yokohama – The Tokyo area is bustling with people. Businessmen and office workers are still busy in the office building, and housewives are cooking on the fire. Because it's a Saturday, the station is full of people ready to go on vacation.
At 11:58 a.m., there was a sudden rattling sound in the Kanto Plain, and the earth shook up and down, followed by a tight shaking. The earth, which had always been quiet and calm, was restless at this time: swaying from side to side, shaking up and down, undulating, as if people were in a small boat on the sea at the crest of the peaks and valleys, unable to stand or move, and could only obey the mercy of the earth, which had lost its former stability. People were thrown into the air by the trembling earth, either dead or wounded. There were no dead or injured people trying to escape from the crumbling houses, but their feet did not listen. The rows and rows of all kinds of houses rooted in the earth could not withstand the "test" of the violent shaking of the earth, shaking, falling tiles, falling walls, and collapsing houses. There are very few houses that can withstand such a severe "test". As a result, those who barely struggled to escape from their houses were not spared their doom, or were crushed to death, smashed, or buried in the rubble by collapsed houses. Others, numb by the sudden shock of the earth, sat and sat back as they watched the collapsed buildings pounce on them.
The rumbling of the earthquake, the groans of the injured, the cries of the uninjured are all in one place, and it is creepy. Most people were overwhelmed by the shaking of the ground caused by the earthquake and were buried alive in collapsed houses. Many died before they could figure out what was going on.
The magnitude of the sudden earthquake reached 8.1 on the Richter scale. The scope of the attack, the size of the damage, and the number of deaths are rare in the history of Japan. Those crushed in collapsed houses are powerless to extricate themselves, and those who are lucky enough to survive are powerless to save them. Even if a person is not killed by the earthquake, he can only watch his loved ones die under the rubble until death strikes. No one came to the aid of anyone who was uninjured or slightly injured under the rubble of the collapsed house, and a few days later died of hunger and thirst.
In addition to the heavy casualties caused by the collapse of buildings in the Great Kanto Earthquake, the earth also opened its bloody mouth - a large crack caused by the earthquake directly devoured the flesh and blood of humans. Some were lucky enough to escape from their collapsing houses, only to fall into cracks in the earth and drown alive in the gushing groundwater; Those who were not drowned tried to climb up from the crack, but the "bloody mouth" - the crack suddenly closed again, and many people were squeezed to death. After the car fell into the crack, when the crack merged, the car and the people in the car were squeezed into discus and meatloaf by the extremely strong pressure, and there was a howl from time to time in the crack. Some of the cracks spewed out jets of water, shooting straight into the ground, and the bodies of those who were crushed to death were sprayed to the ground by the powerful currents of water. Some of the people who were crushed in the rubble were drowned by the water rising from the ground. The earth is torn in half and swallows all the people in the house into the earth.
The violent crustal movement caused by the earthquake caused landslides and ground cracks, and large landslides occurred in many places. A large forest slid down the valley from Tianhu Mountain at a speed of more than 90 kilometers per hour, ran over a railway, and poured a large pile of human fragments into Xiangmo Bay, and the sea water in a radius of several kilometers was dyed red. At Negawa Railway Station, a train carrying 200 passengers collided with a wall of muddy water caused by an earthquake while on its way. The huge landslide more than 180 meters wide and more than 15 meters deep brought the train, along with the passengers and goods on board, into Xiangmo Bay, and suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the fate of the passengers on the train was self-evident. Some villages were buried in mudslides and landslides caused by the earthquake more than 30 meters deep, and disappeared forever from the earth.
All the high-rise buildings in the Tokyo area were destroyed by the earthquake. In Tokyo and other places, many masterpieces of ancient and modern architecture were reduced to rubble in the earthquake, and about 1/20 of the country's property was destroyed by nature in the earthquake.
Earthquakes, ground cracks, mudslides, landslides, and buildings that have collapsed one after another, have caused the living to run in horror and desperately. Driven by the desire to survive, people blindly fled for their lives, pushed each other, and trampled to death and injured countless people. But something worse and more terrible than the earthquake happened. The earthquake damaged the gas pipelines in the Kanto region and caused fires everywhere. However, nature seems to have gone crazy and is still not "satisfied" with earthquakes and fires, and the earthquake triggered a tsunami, and the raging sea water hit the devastated Kanto region of Japan. Earthquakes, fires, tsunamis, and fire and water have turned the Kanto region into a hell on earth.
In the face of such a tragic natural disaster, the power of human beings seems so fragile. Under the power of nature, these Japanese have no room for resistance, they can only passively bear it. Lives, at this moment, seem so fragile. (To be continued.) )
