The time is fast approaching the end of December, and the Tohoku region has completely entered the winter. Even though it starts to get cold in October, it's only then that you know what the cold is, and it's so cold that you can spee and spit.

At this time in previous years, the people of Northeast China have already started the "cat winter". The whole family nests on the kang, and it is difficult to get out of the door once in ten days and a half months. But this year is different, and the people in all villages and towns have been mobilized to resume production, form militias, and support the front line, and are very busy.

In fact, there is no need to launch it, as long as it is said to be fighting devils, no one is unhappy. It is also relying on the full support of the broad masses of the people. The Second War Zone finally survived the most difficult two months in the Northeast.

Southern Liaoning, Fu County.

"Drive, drive!" A wagon was galloping through the snow, full of sacks. The driving uncle looked like an old-fashioned man, raising his whip high, and from time to time it crackled, but it was always pointed, and it was rarely really pumped on horseback. The horse is also spiritual, and by listening to the sound of the whip, he knows whether to go left or right, whether to run fast or to can.

After a dozen miles of travel, the carriage finally arrived at a camp. This was a logistics depot of the 7th Army. Several soldiers hurriedly greeted them, and while helping to unload the goods, they said enthusiastically: "Uncle Zhang, you are really good, and you have sent so much food." ”

The transportation capacity of the second war zone was insufficient, so the local people used their own horse-drawn carts to help transport military rations to the front line. This Uncle Zhang is the most enthusiastic one among them, and he can run four or five times a day.

Uncle Zhang hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "What's the point of driving a carriage?" You will do it with the little devils in the next life. That's it, that's it! As he spoke, he gave them a thumbs up, and said with emotion: "Alas, my arms and legs are not good, so I can still move and run errands for the army!" ”

A soldier poured a cup of hot tea for the uncle and advised: "You should also rest more, don't exhaust your body, how cold it is today!" ”

Uncle Zhang smiled: "It's cold this day, but my heart is hot!" Can contribute to the army. I'm at ease. Gotcha. I've rested enough, so I'll take another trip before it's dark. Ignoring the persuasion of the soldiers, he ran again.

On the other hand, the Japanese army did not have ordinary people to help them deliver food, because the country and supply lines were bombed by the American army. Their logistics quickly bogged down. It has long since lost the momentum of the original momentum.

Erdaogou fifty miles south of Fuxian. More than 500 Japanese troops were braving the heavy snow to desperately build positions. The ground had long been frozen like an iron plate, and the crane's beak hoe could only smash a few white marks on it. It is difficult to knock out the hard crust on the surface, and the frozen soil below is even more troublesome. But no matter how troublesome it is, you have to dig it. Otherwise, the Chinese army would not even have a place to hide from bombs.

Just a few days earlier, the Japanese army had engaged in a decisive battle with the Seventh Army under General Fu Zuoyi in southern Liaoning.

At that time, the Japanese army in southern Liaoning concentrated all its forces to fight to the death, trying to break the defenses of the Seventh Army in one fell swoop, and then meet the southward movement of the Kwantung Army. But the result was unexpected, with the cooperation of the Chinese army's infantry, artillery, tank, and air, the Japanese army was defeated like a paper paste.

When the Japanese army first began to reinforce southern Liaoning, it boasted that the South Manchurian Railway would be opened within a week, but it only advanced more than 100 kilometers after more than two months of fighting. But now it's good, it's all in one battle.

The commander-in-chief of the Japanese army in southern Liaoning, Yamashita Fengfumi, no longer expects to be able to open up the South Manchurian Railway, and only hopes to be able to keep the "Kanto Continent", even if Aunt Amaterasu appreciates her face. But now he has equipment in his hands or not, veterans or not, and he can't even guarantee supplies. The only way to do this is to adopt the strategy of resisting and trying to deplete the vital strength of the Chinese army by fighting each other.

Gaizhou, the former enemy headquarters of the Seventh Army.

Lu Yinglin, chief of staff of the Seventh Army, handed over a letter and said: "Commander-in-chief, this is a handwritten letter from Yamashita Fengfumi. ”

Fu Zuoyi's eyes were staring at the map, and he said without looking back: "Let's leave it there first, I'm busy!" After speaking, he asked with some curiosity: "What is this old devil talking about?" ”

Chief of Staff Lu smiled and said disdainfully: "Yamashita Fengwen said in the letter that it is freezing and the environment is harsh, and I hope we can take a truce for three months for the sake of the hard work of the soldiers." He also said that it was not that they were afraid of war, but that they were motivated by humanitarian considerations, and for this they would also repay them for their kindness to the Chinese people in the Japanese-controlled areas. ”

Chief Fu couldn't help but laugh when he heard two sentences, and when he heard the words of the mountain under the mountain to threaten the people, he couldn't help but be furious. He slammed the table and said sharply: "This old devil is really a dog who eats, and his nature is hard to change!" You call him back immediately, and say that our soldiers have enough food and clothing, and their fighting spirit is strong, and if he can't resist the cold, he will surrender quickly, and we will treat the prisoners preferentially. ”

Chief of Staff Lu asked with a little worry: "What if these devils and dogs jump off the wall in a hurry?" ”

Chief Fu snorted coldly and said, "By the way, you warn this Yamashita Fengwen, if he and his soldiers dare to retaliate against the Chinese people, Lao Tzu will have to slaughter the Japanese in Kwantung Continent, and he will not let go of even an Oriental dog!" ”

Chief of Staff Lu suggested: "Then our front-line troops should also be pressed a little tighter!" If something really happens, the head seat doesn't look good there. ”

Chief Fu nodded and said, "Well, without further ado, you go and do it right away!" ”

Subsequently, the Seventh Army again launched a fierce attack on the Japanese troops in front of them. The attack was also coordinated by the attack aircraft and bomber groups of the 16th Air Force.

Each army group in the northeastern theater is now temporarily assigned to aviation, one B17 squadron per army group (B17 is better than B24 when performing tactical bombing), a P38 squadron, and an R4 helicopter squadron.

Whew...... Several B17 bombers quickly took off and soon came to the skies over the area of engagement. This time they brought with them a state-of-the-art cloud bomb that weighed eight tons!

This is the most advanced ground bomb of the US military at present, and it took a lot of effort to transport it from Kamchatka in order to bring it over.

Some people may think it is strange, why not just transport it by plane, what's so difficult? That being said. However, the B24 standard load is only 5,000 pounds, and if the oil is reduced, it is also the sky to transport 6 tons. And even if it was a 6-ton or 5-ton bomb, it did not dare to be transported directly by a bomber. Because it is extremely dangerous to land with a bomb, and the consequences of an explosion are unimaginable.

Fortunately, the industry in Shenyang and Anshan has recovered a lot, and simple assembly and production are no longer a problem. So the U.S. military shipped the cloud explosive directly to Shenyang, and then transported some key components (such as electronic equipment), and then assembled them themselves by the World War II zone.

Although transporting cloud explosives (whoever dares to take this thing on a plane now, go straight to the prison to pick up soap, hehe) is also dangerous. But it's much safer than delivering a bomb directly. With the efforts of the military-industrial sector. Assembly production has just been completed not long ago, but this is the first time it has been put into actual combat.

The B17 soon flew over the Chinese position and began ground contact. Now each crew has Chinese soldiers acting as liaisons, so communication is not a problem.

"The eagle called the tiger. The eagle calls the tiger. Request to indicate enemy targets! ”

The ground forces quickly reported the data from the artillery observations. He also quipped: "Eagle, your eggs are on time!" ”

B17 immediately flew towards the Japanese position.

Sudden ...... The Japanese troops on the position fired desperately with 13.2 mm anti-aircraft machine guns, trying to stop the approach of death. But the machine gun obviously couldn't stop it. Don't say you can't hit, even if you hit, it won't matter!

"The target is locked!"

"Bomb dropping!"

……

As the bombardier opened the bomb bay, a bombshell fell from the sky and smashed hard into the Japanese position.

The air liaison officer looked at it and exclaimed, "Oh, it's a pity, it seems to be a little off!" ”

The head of the regiment said angrily: "It's all your fault for this crow's mouth, you can speak a little more reliably!" ”

Don't blame the regiment commander for being angry, this bomb drop is indeed a bit off. Although there was a B17 squadron fighting in conjunction with the Seventh Army, each regiment did not want to have air support. But what happened next surprised them.

Rumble! I heard a loud bang, and my ears were numb for several miles, and the ground trembled incessantly. The soldiers exclaimed in surprise and squatted on the ground with their heads hugged, but their chests were still stuffy.

"Hey, where is the little devil's position?" When everyone came back to their senses, they found that the Japanese position on the opposite side had already changed beyond recognition.

"Let's go, go up and have a look!"

The regiment commander hurriedly brought a reconnaissance platoon up to check. On the way, there was only sporadic resistance, which was quickly dealt with by the fighters. When they climbed the mountain, they were greeted by a huge round lawn. Scattered corpses can still be seen outside the Yuanping, and it is basically impossible to distinguish what is what.

Everyone looked at each other and asked, "What kind of bomb is this?" ”

This is the embodiment of the power of the cloud burst bomb, a little deviation in the ground attack is not a matter at all, and the power of terror is enough to effectively compensate. Just now, the direct kill radius is as high as 150 meters (if you are not intuitive about this data, you can go outdoors to compare it and see how far 150 meters is, which is quite terrifying).

Theoretically, there will be no living organisms in the 70,000 square metre area.

In order to build this position, the Japanese soldiers cut their hands bloody, and some froze off their fingers, but they were razed to the ground by a bullet, which is no longer something that manpower can resist. Therefore, only a very small number of the remnants of the Japanese army still stuck to their positions, and the rest fled in fright, only hating their father and mother for missing two legs.

In a secret conference room in Tokyo, Emperor Hirohito also asked the military headquarters in a very angry manner: "Yaga, why did you cause such a big loss, and what kind of bomb did the rice animals use?" ”

Just now, the U.S. B17 and B24 bombed the Japanese mainland again. Due to the loss of air supremacy, the US military is now not limited to night bombing. In broad daylight, more than 500 bombers flew over and then carried out carpet bombing, destroying city after city.

Hideki Tojo was sweating profusely, his hands trembling to wipe it, and he replied in a panic: "Your Majesty, but, it may be a cloud burst bomb." We have protested to the United States against their criminal actions against ordinary people. ”

Hirohito snorted coldly: "Yaga, is it useful to oppose the light?" ”

Hideki Tojo wiped his sweat again and hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we have obtained the technology from the Germans, and we will be able to copy it immediately, and we will definitely be able to force the American animals to stop the war when the time comes." ”

Given the terrifying power of the cloudburst bomb, the mustachioed Führer did not want to tell the Japanese at first. However, the Japanese captured several cloudburst bombs during their confrontation with the Soviets in Siberia.

At that time, the Japanese army was like a treasure, and hurriedly transported it back along the Trans-Siberian Railway. Because of this, Zheng Huzi was scared into a cold sweat at the beginning.

Fortunately, the U.S. military deciphered the Japanese code in time, so they immediately sent bombers to intercept it, and finally succeeded in blowing up the bomb in the Far East. Japan's foundation in the chemical industry is relatively thin, and now the sample is gone, and there is no way to start copying, so I have to ask Germany for help again.

Considering that the U.S. military had already hit the Japanese mainland, the mustache was worried that Japan would surrender if it couldn't hold on, so he finally agreed to provide the Japanese with a cloud burst formula, but it was one of the worse ones. Of course, this was also suitable for Japan's national conditions at that time, and it would not have been possible to make it too complicated.

However, what the Japanese army did not expect was that due to the leakage of telegrams, their acquisition of cloud burst bomb technology was once again mastered by the US military, which was also the reason why the US military increased its air raids.

When President Roosevelt learned that Japan might have mastered the technology to manufacture cloudburst bombs, he hurriedly sent a telegram to Admiral Arnold, commander of the North Pacific Theater, asking him to completely destroy Japan's industrial capacity in the shortest possible time and not let a single cloudburst bomb fall on the head of the US military.

Admiral Arnold knew very well that it would not be possible to do this by bombing alone, because it was impossible to blow up all the factories in Japan. The only way was to force Japan to surrender at an early date.

For this reason, he persuaded President Roosevelt to deliberately lift some of the prohibitions and increase support for the Second War Zone, so that they could achieve an east-west advance with the US military at an early date.

Interestingly, among the weapons released was the new 8-ton cloud bomb. (To be continued......)
