Chapter 118: Blood Valentine's Day during the Three World Wars (II)

On 14 February 1947, since the outbreak of World War III, the Soviets, who had been wielding a nuclear stick to the whole world and planting the sun on the territory of other countries, finally tasted the bitter taste of a nuclear bombing of their own country on this bloody Valentine's Day.

-- As the atomic bomb fell on the Peter and Paul fortress at the mouth of the Neva River, a devastating shock wave was born in an instant, spreading outward from the center of the explosion at a speed of 3.2 kilometers per second, and rapidly rising hundreds of meters per second, with which countless clouds of smoke and dust were raised, forming a huge mushroom cloud column.

And under this mushroom cloud, the citizens of Leningrad all felt that everything around them turned black, like the scene of the end of the world.

A TASS correspondent described it this way after the incident: "...... The survivors all had dark skin from burns...... They don't have any hair because their hair is burned off, and at a glance, you can't tell if you're looking at their front or their back...... They put their arms around their chests...... Their skin, not only on their hands, but also on their faces and bodies, hung down......

If there were only one or two such people, maybe I wouldn't have such a strong impression. However, I have met such people wherever I go...... Many of them died in the streets - I can still remember their images in my mind - like walking ghosts...... They don't look like people of this world...... They walk in a very special way -- very slowly...... I myself am one of them.

The skin that hung from the faces and torsos of these badly injured survivors, and even the skin that eventually peeled off, was caused by the heat flicker of the nuclear explosion, which was instantly burned with huge skin blisters, and then the shock wave of the nuclear explosion peeled them off...... There were also some Leningrad citizens whose skin, although not peeled off and hung on the spot, was covered with purple-red ecchymoses or swollen like balloons. Even acquaintances who have known each other for a long time are difficult to recognize after becoming this miserable appearance of not being a human or a ghost.

I was almost unable to walk for a while because of the blood loss from the wound, but the fire and smoke were still approaching behind me. So I begged for help from a passing girl, who was a college classmate of mine, but she was startled by my badly burned face, crying and unwilling to help. I could only struggle and continue to make my way to the countryside. The sky was covered in dust and mist, the snow had evaporated, and none of the buildings were intact, only piles of smoking, hot rubble. There were bags of coal-like stuff scattered on the side of the road, and I almost stepped on them, but a moment before I stepped on them, I suddenly realized that the 'coal bags' under my feet were all dead people! Their bodies were round and swollen, as if they were inflated.

On the streets of Leningrad at that time, some of the corpses still walked intact, standing there as if they were statues, as if they were frozen in death. Other similarly charred corpses lay on all fours in the streets, as if some giant had thrown them from a great position and died...... Gas storage tanks near the train station were thrown into the sky like a big fireball, falling to the ground and bouncing into the air. And the oil drums in the ports and bus stations flew higher, and when they fell again, they simply turned into incendiary bombs. After such a catastrophe, there is not much left of the whole city except for the strongest reinforced concrete buildings, and one cannot help but be deeply saddened by the cruelty of modern warfare......"

Although thanks to the bomb shelters scattered throughout the city, a considerable part of the citizens of Leningrad did not die in the event of a nuclear explosion, but survived with great difficulty and struggled to escape from the city engulfed in flames...... But the catastrophe that befell them was far from over - half an hour after the atomic bombing, a light black snow slowly fell on the heads of the survivors of the Leningrad nuclear bombing, filled with deadly radioactive fallout.

Thus, after receiving emergency treatment and relief organized by the Red Army, the citizens of Leningrad, who did not die on the spot, initially seemed to have recovered somewhat, but they soon found themselves suffering from strange diseases: the main symptoms were nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite; diarrhea, with a lot of blood in the stool; fever, weakness; Blood seeps under the skin, causing purple spots to appear on various parts of the body; inflammation and ulcers of the mouth, throat and gums; rectal and urethral bleeding; hair loss; The number of white blood cells in the blood is very small...... It is a chronic process that cannot be reversed until the patient dies. This is because the high-intensity radiation emitted from the atomic bomb directly destroys the exposed body tissues. Especially those tissues that produce infection-fighting white blood cells. Large doses of radiation also stimulate the production of an anticoagulant factor. The result of all these lesions is mass tissue death, massive bleeding, and severe infection. Whatever one of these tragic news was a sign of a terminal illness in the forties of the twentieth century that could not be solved by the medical level of the world at that time......

It is conceivable that the length of the death list of the Leningrad nuclear bombing will once again be drastically lengthened in a few short weeks.

At the same time, the same type of catastrophe occurred in Vyborg, Helsinki, Finland, Tallinn, Estonia, and Stockholm, Sweden, dozens of kilometers away from Leningrad...... And, of course, Petropavlovsk on the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Far East and Cheongjin in North Korea.

In order to carry out the "bloody ♂ Valentine's Day" operation of the Soviet Union that was bombed by the nuclear bombing, the US Strategic Air Force paid a very heavy price -- of the 1,965 B-265 "Super Flying Fortress" strategic bombers that took off from various air bases in Iceland that day, only 57 of them successfully returned to land, and seven B-29s returned to Iceland but could not lower their landing gear, and finally the pilots and crew had to abandon their planes and parachute home...... The number of people who came back alive was just a fraction of what was left, and the number of killed and captured B-29 crews alone reached more than 20,000 people!

In addition, 32 of the more than 500 US Navy and Army fighters participating in the escort in the Norwegian Sea were shot down in the battle that day.

However, the planner and commander of this nuclear bombing, Curtis, who personally boarded the plane to accompany the US Atlantic Theater Strategic Air Force Chief of Staff, was on board the plane. Lieutenant General Li Mei, another air god who attacked Japan in time and space, was very lucky to survive -- it was not that this brave general was greedy for life and afraid of death and escaped from the battle, but that the B-29 plane he was flying on had just left Iceland and had not even reached the coast of Scandinavia, when the fighter planes of the Soviet Naval Air Force had penetrated the fuel tank, and the oil leaked and caught fire......

Late that night, after counting the final number of returning bombers, Lieutenant General Li Mei couldn't help but weep bitterly for a while, and almost pulled out his gun to commit suicide -- thanks to the fact that his orderlies and adjutant had expected it, they secretly unloaded the bullets in his rifle in advance.

Although the U.S. military paid such a heavy price for this, it was well worth all these sacrifices compared to the brilliant results achieved this time: the nuclear explosions and bombardments launched against the socialist camp from both Europe and the Far East on this day ultimately caused 3.3 million casualties to the countries of the red camp. The number of Soviet citizens killed and injured in this series of nuclear explosions alone is as high as 1.5 million (counting Estonians)! Finland and Sweden have directly blown up one-tenth of the country's population, which can be said to have been knocked out of the backbone.

In addition to the above-mentioned destructive effects on the citizens and urban infrastructure of the Red Camp countries, the direct damage caused by the series of nuclear explosions to the Red Army was equally serious - in just one day, more than 18,000 aircraft of various types were destroyed in air battles and on the ground in the Soviet Union, North Korea, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Poland, Japan and Germany. More than 3 million tons of merchant ships and warships, 320,000 officers and men of the navy and army, and a large amount of technical equipment were wiped out in the nuclear explosion and bombing, and the military supplies and munitions factories lost in the nuclear explosion can only be described by the word "innumerable." In addition, the new general flagship of the Soviet Navy, with a displacement of 46,000 tons, had just completed the final outfitting and commissioning, returned from sea trials in Norwegian waters, and the battleship "Soviet," which was temporarily docked at the Stockholm dock, was also tragically killed in the nuclear explosion, and almost all the officers and men of the ship died en masse.

After this heavy blow, the socialist red camp's previous momentum of conquering cities and conquering cities in the world and being invincible suddenly could not help but stagnate. The capitalist white camp, which was originally defeated and had extremely low morale, was given a shot in the arm and instantly cheered up a lot. However, just as the White House, the Pentagon, and Capitol Hill in the United States were all drinking champagne and celebrating each other, they did not expect what kind of terrible existence their successful action had provoked and released a terrible nightmare to the already devastated earth......

Western Pacific, Caroline Islands, Truk Atoll, Naval shrine on the mountain behind the headquarters of the Combined Fleet of the Japanese Navy

The shrine, which was originally quiet and tranquil, with the fragrance of birds and flowers, seemed to have become a field hospital filled with the smell of blood at this time: more than a dozen beautiful ship girls of different ages and hair colors no longer had the energy to drink and frolic at this time, but were all tied to layers of white bandages, their legs, feet and arms were also in plaster, and their faces were wrapped in white bandages like mummies, and they were almost unable to move, so they could only lie on the tatami mats and hum......

If you look closely, you can also find that every ship's mother has exactly the same injury regardless of "age" and "physical appearance".

“…… It's unexpected! Because of the Leningrad nuclear explosion, the injuries that appeared on the cruiser Aurora could be faithfully copied on every part of Ms. Sophie's shipwives, both Japanese and Soviet...... Tsk, it's exactly the same......"

Next to him, Wang Qiu used a high-definition digital camera to photograph the injuries of many doppelgangers of the ship's mother Sophie at this time, and muttered quietly, "...... The wound of the keel corresponds to the contusion of the spine on the ship's mother, and the turret collapse corresponds to the ship's mother is the comminuted fracture of the palm and soles of the feet, and then there are large-scale burns on the skin of the whole body and multiple contusions on the soft tissues...... The injury has not yet been judged to be sinking, and it is really Marx's blessing......"

“…… Fortunately, these injuries only appeared on the body of each of the ship's doppelgangers, not on every warship that had been eroded by Sophie to form a sense of self. Otherwise, it would not be more than 60 shipwrecks who were hospitalized collectively, but more than 60 ships that were broken in an instant...... No, in the nuclear explosion on February 14, in fact, one was sunk, three were destroyed, and two were destroyed...... But you can't just leave it alone! I'm going to have to treat them. ”

Ma Tong stood at the door of the room, looking at the sick and weak beauty covered with tatami mats, and couldn't help but say to Wang Qiu worriedly.

“…… How do I know how to treat the ship's mother? Have you forgotten that they don't look like young and beautiful girls, but they are not human beings at all? Don't you smell the smell of engine oil in this room, instead of blood? Anyway, we can't help here at all. ”

Wang Qiu put down the camera and spread his hands helplessly, "...... After all, the real wound is far away on the other side of the planet...... Now it can only be seen how the cruiser Aurora will be repaired by the Soviet side. I think Comrade Stalin would rather sacrifice a hundred divisions than dare to let the Aurora sink...... Moreover, it's not like we're completely out of the cracks! Political Commissar Guo has already brought the black technology props of the Doraemon plane to help......"

――In fact, the Doraemon plane black technology magic prop brought by Political Commissar Guo helped a lot in the process of saving the cruiser Aurora. If it weren't for the fact that he used the [Shrinking Light] to shrink the hull of the Aurora in the frozen Neva River to the size of a model ship, and then secretly loaded it onto a special train and transported it by rail to the ice-free port of Sevastopol on the Crimean Peninsula of the Black Sea, where it would have been restored and loaded into the dock for emergency repairs, the Soviets would have had to spend at least a few weeks just fighting the frozen Neva River and dragging the Aurora out of the ice.

However, this does not mean that all problems have been solved, in fact, as long as the American pilots have the courage to carry out a "kamikaze attack" that will not return, then any port on the European map of the Soviet Union is actually within the scope of the US military's nuclear strike. And the Aurora, which was already covered in bruises and half of its body, could no longer withstand a nuclear strike...... Even a heavy ordinary aerial bomb can kill the ship's mother, Sophie!

“…… My God! Nuclear explosion or something, it's scary enough to experience it once, don't do it again! You've got a way to come out! ”

On the tatami mat in the inner room of the shrine, more than a dozen ship girls hummed and chirped in unison, and cast a pitiful look of help at Wang Qiu.

“…… Hey, don't talk to me with Nobita's mantra! I'm not Doraemon...... Well, the countermeasure is actually very simple - is there at least a hundred atomic bombs left in the Soviet Union's stockpile? Take it out and plow Iceland first, and Europe will be safe...... Of course, the battlefield in the Middle East must also be leveled as soon as possible, otherwise US bombers can also take off from Iraq or Iran and drop nuclear bombs on Crimea......"

Wang Qiu snorted disapprovingly, and casually promoted his nuclear invincible method -- as long as he used a nuclear bomb to bomb the enemy's departure base first, he didn't have to worry about being hit by a nuclear bomb on his side...... However, I did not know that on the side of the Soviet Union, there were already people who put this policy into practical action.

USSR, Moscow, Kremlin

Comrade Stalin, the iron and loving father of the Soviet peoples, stood by the wall with a pipe in his mouth with a gloomy face, stared at the map of Europe on the wall for a long time, and then took out a colored pencil from his pocket, aimed at the location of Iceland in the upper left corner of the map, and drew a striking red cross.

Next, he turned around and picked up the phone on his desk: "...... Inform the General Staff of the Red Army that they must come up with a reliable plan for a nuclear counterattack before tomorrow's regular meeting, and I will know in the shortest possible time how to wipe that damned island off the map! ”

-- When he said this to the telephone, Stalin's tone was so harsh that it was like arctic ice, enough to make anyone shudder.

And then, his retaliatory decision made the entire human race of the world fully feel the chill from the north...... (To be continued.) )
