070 Apocalypse
The plan for the attack on Japan is underway, and the Sino-US Joint Air Force has dispatched more than 30 excellent bomber crew pilots for training, and their team is codenamed 701, which means highly secret, and even the crew members do not know what kind of operation they are about to carry out.
All they know is that the upcoming plan is codenamed "Apocalypse", that it will be carried out overseas, and that they have no idea about the specific location, goals, and time.
Even, even this code name they demanded absolute secrecy and could not reveal it to the outside world in the slightest.
They were still using their old friend, the B-29 bomber. However, unlike the B-29s used in the past, these B-29s have been modified, all heavy weapons on the fuselage have been removed, and the magazine has been expanded.
Hao Zhiguo, who came to train together, asked their crew captain Liu Yun, "Head, what do you say we train every day?" We've been to Japan many times, so why do we have to do it alone? ”
Liu Yun lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "We may be going to get a big guy this time." ”
"Big guy?" Hao Zhiguo was a little puzzled.
Liu Yun leaned over and whispered, "Have you noticed?" Our training program is very monotonous. ”
"Oh, we only train one subject every day, and I wondered at first why we can only carry 1 shell* at a time in a 10-ton* bomb bay."
Liu Yun nodded, "It's not all. Do you remember? Every time we throw '*', we have to fly more than 9,000 meters, and the impact point must be within 300 meters of the target, which has never happened before. I've said so much, you should understand, right? ”
Hao Zhiguo smiled, "So, what a big guy?" ”
"I've flown our chief officer before, and his personality is ...... Tut-tut, the courage to fight is more daring than us young people to take risks, but people are not blind adventures, every time they are sure. I don't know exactly what it is this time, but I feel that it will definitely shock the whole world. You'll just have to wait and see. Liu Yun punched Hao Zhiguo in the chest.
"Really? Then we have to work harder, we can't lose the election at such a moment of witnessing history, otherwise this will definitely be the regret of my life. Hao Zhiguo is also full of fighting spirit.
"Of course, don't take a lunch break at noon, let's go to the simulation room and have a look." Liu Yun put on his military hat and walked forward.
"Wait for me." Hao Zhiguo jumped down, covered the hat on his head with one hand, and ran over quickly.
……
"Do you really want to do this?" In a secret place in Xuanwu Lake, Fu Jin was lying in Huang Ke's arms, looking at him with straight eyes.
Just now, Huang Ke described to her the power of * and the upcoming battle plan, and this was the first time Huang Ke had told anyone who was not in this plan about it.
This is nothing, because he knows that Fu Jin will not leak this matter.
Huang Ke nodded, "If we don't, more people will die." ”
"It's ridiculous!" Fu Jin got up from his arms and said a little angrily: "It was the Japanese emperor and those Showa indignant young staff officers who started the war, and the people were also victims of this war. Let the victims of war die, and then save the people who started it...... If possible, I wish this operation was aimed at the initiators of the war. After Fu Jin finished speaking,
"Japan's current failures are ultimately self-defeating. Years of hate education have made most of their citizens lose their minds, and the centralized dictatorship has provided a good ground for this. It can be said that it was a group of staff officers who advocated war and 'clamored for declaring war on the world' who tied Japan to the chariot, a propaganda machine that advocated war, and a so-called ruler. But you have to remember one thing, these people, whether it is the group of angry young staff officers in the military department, or the various knife and pen officials in the propaganda newspapers...... Most of them are from Japanese folk! Huang Ke said slowly, this point of view made Fu Jin speechless.
Fu Jin no longer spoke, she knew that war was cruel, and sometimes it was irresponsible to move the kindness of women. But in any case, in any war, the people at the grassroots level will always be the biggest bearers of the war.
Huang Ke continued: "Now that the Battle of Iwo Jima is being prepared, the Chinese and American allied forces have invested more than 100,000 landing troops, not to mention the follow-up troops. The Japanese authorities have also adopted the so-called 'decisive battle on the mainland,' and we and the US military estimate that if we follow the current pace of the war, if we follow the method of conventional warfare, and land in Japan step by step, we will need to suffer at least one million casualties when we capture Tokyo. ”
After speaking, Huang Ke also paused and said, "These people are also from the most grassroots people. ”
Fu Jin knew that this was a staggering number, and at the same time a relatively conservative estimate, because the Japanese people had already shown their final madness.
Under the bombing of the Chinese and American allies, the Japanese mainland has suffered heavy losses, coupled with the lack of resources brought about by the war machine, which has led to the continuous decline of the living standards and economy of ordinary people, and in order to stabilize the demand for rule and divert social contradictions, the Japanese authorities have deliberately exaggerated their attitude of hatred towards foreign countries and attributed all the root causes to the attack of China and the United States.
The people went crazy, and those Showa staff officers also began to advocate these remarks in the army, and one by one the brainwashed young people rushed to embark on the journey of death, but they did not know that it was the group of people they wanted to protect who tied Japan to the chariot in the first place.
"I already understand what you mean, intellectually, if I were you, I would do the same as you. But it's hard to accept emotionally, maybe because I'm a woman. Fu Jin reluctantly smiled and said, "However, please don't get me wrong, I'm not making suggestions or opinions on your decision-making, just talking about my feelings." After all, war is terrible. ”
"The significance of war lies in the fact that he can make a generation realize the horror of war, so as to wake up future generations and let them stay away from war prudently." Huang Ke threw out a bizarre point again, and this time, Fu Jin did not refute him.
He continued: "After this war, China and the United States will occupy Japan partitionally. According to our agreement, the war criminals will be tried and the Japanese military and armed forces will be supervised and disarmed. It is not a good thing that Japan's economy will take off after the war, and the quality of the people will improve as a result of reflecting on the war. ”
After Huang Ke finished speaking, Fu Jin nodded. She knew that Huang Ke must have his own plan for the post-war period, and this plan was just like when he raised troops in Guangzhou when he raised troops for revolution, although the road was tortuous, but it was worth working for.
"After the war, are you willing to give up power?" Fu Jin suddenly asked.
Huang Ke looked into the distance, nodded and said, "Although it is reluctant, it is also the trend of the times." In this life, I have enjoyed everything I should enjoy, and I only hope to dedicate the rest of my life to this suffering motherland. ”
……
By the end of 1944, the Chinese and American allies had captured the Ryukyus, Okinawa and other Japanese islands, and gradually approached the Japanese mainland, but the Japanese frenzied resistance also made the allies pay a lot of price.
Both the Allied and Japanese forces showed strong combat effectiveness in this battle of justice and life and death, and neither the advancing Allied soldiers nor the Japanese samurai guarding them took a step back.
The bloody battle between Iwo Jima and Okinawa has made countless good men spill their blood on the battlefield!
President Roosevelt suggested on the phone that Huang Ke start the Apocalypse Project.
Everything is ready, the bombing team in charge of the Apocalypse Project has conducted dozens of actual combat training, and they have carried sample bombs to target cities in Japan many times to carry out simulated bombing of target cities, so it can be said that they are ready to work together.
The final selection of personnel was carried out, and Colonel Liu Yun, who had excellent psychological qualities, and his assistant Lieutenant Colonel Hao Zhiguo were finally shortlisted and became bomber pilots of the "Apocalypse" operation.
The day before the operation, they received details about the mission from Air Force Minister Xu Shaozhou, and only then did they know that the bombing site of the mission was Hiroshima, Japan, and the specific details about this secret weapon.
Liu Yun's guess is correct, this is an unprecedented weapon, and once this weapon is put into use, it will change the face of the existing war.
Xu Shaozhou said to the two young pilots in front of him with a stern face: "The importance of this mission is self-evident, but I also want to explain to you that this is the first time that this weapon has been thrown in the air, and the safety is unknown to us without actual operation, so you must be mentally prepared." If you want to quit, it's too late. ”
The two leaned on their heels after hearing this, "Report, we don't want to quit!" ”
"Well, courage. This time, there was also a Colonel Chen Bin, who was one of the members of the 918 engineering team and was an expert in this area, guiding the whole process. As he spoke, Xu Shaozhou pointed to a bespectacled colonel behind him and motioned for him to come over.
The man walked over and shook hands with Liu Yun and Hao Zhiguo and said, "Hello, I'm Chen Bin, this time let's act together." Minister Xu has just introduced it, but I can tell you that within the theoretical values, we are safe to fly and throw. ”
Liu Yun and Hao Zhiguo glanced at each other, and both of them smiled.
"Okay, I won't say much about the rest, and I'll leave tomorrow morning. The goal is Hiroshima, I won't be too tired of the specifics, I wish you success immediately, remember! This war is about to end in your hands. Chairman Huang Ke asked me to convey my gratitude to you on his behalf. Xu Shaozhou said again: "I have prepared the celebration wine for you, and we will drink it after we come back." ”
"Yes!" The three of them leaned on their heels and replied sharply.
