Jacksonville, located in northern Florida, United States, is the state's largest industrial and economic center; The 600 square kilometers of urban land not only easily accommodates more than 500,000 citizens, but also houses large chimney-lined factories and workshops. In an age where people are not aware of the catastrophic damage that environmental pollution can have on their lives, factories and companies are built in cities: it is a good situation for workers to have a work location close at hand and reduce the hassle of getting to work. After the rapid development of the early 20th century and the adjustment of social production stimulated by the government's new policies in recent years, Jacksonville now has a total of three oil refineries, one systematic tank manufacturing base, and one engine factory affiliated with Republic Aircraft Company, with a total number of more than 50,000 employees. Since the outbreak of World War II, this industrial cluster has been providing military products that can be used as lubricants for American warplanes.

Today, after 13 months of full production for the U.S. ** team, this root of all evil has finally been punished by thunder and lightning. In order to cut off this reservoir of blood transfusion for the US ** team, the German army occupying Cuba dispatched nearly 1,000 warplanes to bomb at one time; The fuel and ammunition consumed by this wave of attacks alone required five standard-tonnage merchant ships to travel back and forth to the ocean at one time. After just a dozen seconds, countless bombs dropped by German bombers fell densely from the sky, and from a distance, it seemed as if a gray cloud was covering the sky over ←→ city, and countless scattered black raindrops were slanted downward.

"Boom! Rumble! "The terrifying power of the firelight bursting one after another, the waves of air surging and exploding, and the explosion of high-explosive bombs have appeared countless times in previous wars. But every time it's so majestic and terrifying, it's shocking. In an instant, the concrete road shattered and burst into the air. The steel bars of the building collapsed and collapsed. The deafening sound of thunder and fury caused the American people, who were ignorant of the war, to scream in extreme panic and run wildly in all directions, and many people even suffered a mental breakdown directly under a thunderous explosion, and the stench of excrement quickly spread under them. Some people were swallowed up by the blasting waves, and their bodies were on fire, and gradually turned into a pitch-black charred skeleton in the heart-rending screams; Some people were pierced into their bodies by shrapnel in all directions, and in an instant, blood and flesh flew and their intestines rotted. After a shake, he collapsed. Some man-made collapse and falling building fragments were hit from the sky, blood sprayed wildly, and bones were broken and dirty; Many more are wolves running around like headless flies in extreme fear, unaware of where they are. Smoke billowed and fire raged, and the entire city of Jacksonville was filled with people fleeing for their lives, and the hysterical screams and exclamations could not be concealed even by the explosion of bombs.

The sea of fire was rolling up and rolling, advancing layer by layer, like thousands of red lions roaring and rushing, wanting to tear up everything they encountered in front of them and burn them all. In addition to ordinary high-explosive shells. German bombers also carried a large number of napalm bombs with colloidal gasoline as the main component; When the fuse is activated in a violent collision with the ground, the dangerous items filled inside will be ignited instantaneously by the explosives. And under the push of the air wave, it splashed hundreds of meters away. They are responsible for the vast majority of the raging flames that are currently burning in Jacksonville.

In some ways, the damage caused by this napalm is even more horrific than that of conventional bombs. They not only contain extremely high chemical internal energy, but their physical properties are also as dense and viscous as lard; Once a person is affected by such a flaming gasoline bomb sprayed in the air, it will inevitably have catastrophic and terrible consequences. Today, the inhabitants of the industrial area of Jacksonville are among the first sacrifices to die under this weapon. The inexperienced ones slapped with their hands or rolled on the ground in an attempt to extinguish the flames, but the Americans soon discovered to their horror that the flames on their bodies had not been extinguished, but had spread to a large area of their bodies with the medium of physical contact, and finally became uncontrollable!

With a terrible scream, the napalm-stained man died tragically after dancing wildly, but the flames continued to surge over his corpse, and the burning of fat and flesh filled the air with a strong scorching stench that made people vomit and dizzy. Due to the extremely high heat energy contained in napalm, its combustion is not only difficult to extinguish but also long-lasting, even compared to Amaterasu's black flame, which will never be extinguished without burning out the target. Americans can only watch their families and relatives burned to death in this hellish flame, but they cannot do anything to save them; Some tried to get close to the people on fire to rescue them, but they were hit head-on by the burning oil that they threw out in their struggles, and the flames roared high, and soon ended up with the same tragic fate as the previous one.

And even if it is only contaminated with a little napalm for a star, it is a serious injury that is difficult for ordinary people to bear. Because in addition to colloidal gasoline, napalm is also doped with various chemical accelerants, and the highly toxic substances produced after the combustion of these additives will enter the blood of the body with the burning wound caused by the flame on the human skin, thus forming a severe poison infection that coexists with burns. For a long time to come, they had to live with endless trauma and pain, and the pain of cleaning the burn wounds made the wounded feel like they were falling into hell!

After more than ten minutes of bomb dropping, Jacksonville, an industrial city in the United States with high-rise buildings and roaring machine tools, has now become as dilapidated and miserable as Tristram after being ravaged by Diablo. A sea of fire roared and shrouded a third of the city, and buildings continued to collapse and collapse, some of which had been burned to the ground of a reinforced concrete main frame. Hundreds of people were trapped in the flames, and only a handful of them escaped death, and the rest died from the fire or suffocation. The industrial area, located in the heart of the German bomb bombing, is almost impossible to see on the ground: the fiery red flames and black smoke have become a part of the area. After filming the tragic situation in the target area with a camera, the German aircraft group set out on the return journey with satisfaction; As the bomb bays had been emptied, they were noticeably faster than they had arrived, and in a short time the blue of the Gulf of Mexico was back in sight of the German pilots, and the land airfields had sent them warm congratulations in advance.

This large-scale bombing by the Luftwaffe dealt an unprecedented blow to the war industry of the United States. The industrial area of Jacksonville was almost completely destroyed, and it took three days for the fires ignited by airstrikes on the three refineries to extinguish the open flames. When U.S. firefighters cautiously entered the burned plant, they found that all the internal production capacity was gone. Machine tools are twisted and deformed, cables are melted, the ground is covered with the rubble of various buildings and equipment, and the charred human skeleton makes some young firefighters can't help but bend over and vomit immediately. And that's a relatively good situation in the Jacksonville industrial area. A large number of factories have collapsed in the explosions and flames caused by the bombing, and the internal production facilities have long been crushed into broken scrap metal, and it will never be possible to rebuild them in a few months.

With the destruction of equipment production in the industrial zone, it had an immediate effect on the front-line operations of the US army. The U.S. 6th Army in Louisiana ran out of fuel, and its main force was forced to stay in place for the next two days, abandoning its plan to attack the right flank of the German 4th Army; The motorized infantry of the latter were able to fully consolidate their positions and completely encircle the US 19th Army in the encirclement. In the absence of reinforcements, the American troops, which had no determination to resist to the end, collapsed even more and collapsed in just a dozen hours after the German army launched its general offensive. In addition, the tank ration of a newly formed armored division of the US army has also been affected, and the production and delivery of some fighters have also been continuously delayed due to the lack of engines; For the US military, which is already in danger in the current war situation, these blows have made the situation they face even worse.

Compared with the destruction of industrial areas, the large number of casualties suffered by the bombing of urban commercial and residential areas was even more severe to the Americans' confidence in the war. More than 30,000 people were killed in the bombing, and the flames caused by napalm became the bloodiest executioner with the most casualties. This nation, which lives peacefully on the North American continent under the protection of two oceans, but constantly exports wars to the outside world and puts the people of other countries in the midst of fire and water, is finally completely stimulated and awakened by the great pain of war that happened to them, and begins to reflect on the meaning of this war with an unprecedented and profound attitude. If they continue to fight like this, they will only be left with more tragic deaths and ruin, and they will not see the slightest prospect of victory in the war!

A week later, the Luftwaffe concentrated more than 400 heavy bombers to carry out a massive bombing of New Orleans, the capital of Louisiana. Although the US air force had made corresponding tactical adjustments in response to the fiasco in the last air battle, and did not directly force the opponent's tightly organized array, it still failed to prevent the German aircraft group from dropping bombs. A bearing factory and two bases for the production of guns and ammunition were burned by napalm, along with nearly 20,000 people. Despite the White House authorities' efforts to block the news, the catastrophe of the two bombings soon spread throughout the United States, and the pent-up anger of the American people due to successive defeats was finally ignited, and an unprecedented wave of anti-war swept across North America.
