974 Air nuclear attack
The new navigation of the Japanese army began to carry out precise guidance, leading the bombers to the headquarters of Chu Tingchang.
The B17 had a crew of eight on board, including the co-pilot, a navigator, a spy in charge of English conversation, and four machine gunners, but there was no bombardier. Due to the lag behind in the design of the air*, this attack will not be dropped, but will only be a suicide attack. According to the plan that has been hastily rehearsed several times, before the attack, other crew members other than the pilot and navigator can choose whether to parachute or not, and if they do, they will play a role in evaluating the effect of the attack on the ground. They will carry radio stations and suicide pistols, daggers and poisons (the Japanese army has redundant considerations about suicide methods) to avoid falling behind enemy lines and into the hands of the Allies, exposing information about the nuclear attack base on Hainan Island.
The plane entered Vietnam, apparently within the surveillance range of the Allied air defense network, and the plane did not use low-altitude methods to evade radar, because that would disrupt navigation and easily hit mountains. This lone bomber, just like that, drove directly to the target. However, the navigation signal has not been interrupted, indicating that the first phase of the mission is going well.
Using the latest electronics, the RF carrier is modulated using an audio signal, and then the navigator establishes the geometry on the heading surface. This navigation system provided by the Nazis, in theory, can control the final accuracy in the air above the target, within a rectangle of 400 x 200 meters, and after being improved by Japan, the accuracy is even better.
According to the plan, if they can see the target at night (usually a light), they will go headlong, self-detonate a few hundred meters above the target, carry out the maximum range of attack, if they can't see it, then wait for the visual attack after dawn, in short, after taking off today, it is impossible to fly back with a nuclear bomb.
After the plane entered Laos, it finally received an inquiry from the ground.
Someone on the ground asked in the form of a password, constantly mentioning whether the plane was injured or not. Obviously, the most primitive way of identification is not difficult to decipher, because the call signs of the actions of the American aircraft groups in front of them, as well as the dialogue with the ground, are all monitored. The main difficulty lies in the accent. However, Stephen Kudo, who participated in the operation this time, was born in the United States since he was a child, and his English can be completely confused. Kudo reported that he belonged to the "Exocet" team in a predetermined manner, but the plane was damaged and its speed was reduced, so he fell behind.
The ground checked the report of the "Exocet" 30 minutes ago, and the entire group of aircraft, indeed lost 3 aircraft in the attack on the Japanese positions around Nanning. Obviously, one of the planes was lost, but it was only wounded and left behind, which was good news, so the ground did not ask any further.
The headquarters that Chu Tingchang just moved to was used once last month, and it has been maintained, and the facilities are completely ready-made. As soon as he arrived, he heard that there was an enemy activity nearby, which made him a little uneasy.
The Japanese spies were always with him, and he was used to it. Since Burma, it has not been new for the local natives to send messages to the Japanese, and the spies shot and killed after indiscriminate interrogation by his guards are not to mention a battalion. However, since the Japanese have had *, the situation has changed, and any threat from the command to leak the news can be fatal. Of course, although the Japanese have nuclear bombs, they still lack effective vehicles, and the few known nuclear attacks have relied on river or rail transportation, and even submarines were used in the attack on San Francisco.
It stands to reason that through the above methods, it is impossible to go deep into the mountainous inland land, and what Chu Tingchang is worried about is actually an air assault. Although his command headquarters maintains contact with the air intelligence center at all times, the so-called contact is only to make a phone call every once in a while to inquire about the latest information, which is not the same as information networking.
419 is coming at the moment, but it is not of much help to Chu Tingchang, who has already gone deep inland. In addition, Lin Xiuxuan told him that the Japanese air platform may mature by the end of the year to the beginning of next year, and it is not a big problem now, but Lin Xiuxuan did not tell him the basis for this conclusion.
According to the analysis of common sense, the miniaturization of the Japanese nuclear bomb should be the overriding existence of all technological breakthroughs, so there must be room for Lin's judgment.
Yesterday afternoon, however, the British intelligence department suddenly forwarded Chen Ping's news and found that many Japanese ships in the Strait of Malacca passed through at night, and during the day, there were few ships on the sea.
The simple movement of Japanese ships does not mean anything, but the Japanese want to cover up, and they have some fame. Chen Ping's eyes and ears were only on land, and what they saw might only be a small part of the movement. This information was sent and received by a British submarine and stayed at the intelligence center in Calcutta for a few days before it reached the hands of Chief Chu Ting, and the timeliness was gone.
Chu Tingchang forced himself to stabilize his mind and began to analyze the situation in the direction of the Malay Peninsula and Tao Mingzhang. The Japanese operations in Australia and the Solomon were all stopped, and if the Japanese Army's supply capacity was judged by the Allies, they would not have launched an offensive at all throughout September, especially since MacArthur Australia was at the end of his rope and only owed the last kick in the back.
The Combined Fleet appeared near Hawaii, and it seemed that after the San Francisco Massacre, it once again provoked the United States and took the initiative to seek war, but after the US Navy dispatched, it did not find it. It seems to indicate a false shot.
He had to calculate the transport capacity and the number of troops that could be mobilized by the Japanese to see if they still had room for maneuver, and the results were quite optimistic. After the unprecedented landing of the Japanese in Vietnam, the number of troops and transportation capacity should have been exhausted, even if there were still some mobile forces, but at most only a few divisions and regiments that did not enter the stream. It seems that the situation is still in the calculations, but ...... After nightfall, my eyelids kept jumping, and I don't know what the signs were.
He couldn't help but cross his legs and make a hexagram, which was like a hexagram devouring the fire and thunder that shook up from the bottom to the top, indicating that he was suddenly swallowed by the fire and thunder, which was considered a bad omen, but then again, he didn't believe in these things.
Qin Xiaosu came in and brought the latest telegram from Lin Xiuxuan's side. Huang Tian was like a bamboo, and the defense line of the 79th Division built by the river completely collapsed, but it seemed that the enemy's defense in the direction of Saigon was sloppy. Judging from the deployment, he didn't care too much about Huang Tianyang's possible attack. Lin Xiuxuan felt that there was something greasy in it, this was not Sakagaki's style of using soldiers. Although Sakagaki focuses on offense and light on defense, he is not so fearless. Lin judged that Sakagaki still had cards in his hand.
Another discovery of Qin Xiaosu is to check the air intelligence a few days ago, found some suspicious points, a pilot said that he saw a B17 early bomber, but there was no aircraft of the same type into Vietnam that day, the pilot reported to the ground, saw that the bomber was painted with the mascot of the Boston Bruins - a giant bear, but the 10th Air Force in Myanmar could not find such a painted aircraft. Of course, the investigation by the allies was ultimately over, but Qin Xiaosu felt that something was strange and had to be investigated.
Chu Tingchang was most afraid of the enemy sneaking up on his headquarters from the air, and he had simulated confrontation with Qin Xiaosu several times, and the best way was to break through the loopholes in the radar network and drill the plane carrying the nuclear bomb in. Since there is no serious way to identify friend or foe, this possibility is always present.
The suspicions converged together, and the hexagram was unknown, and the eyelids were jumping overnight. Chu Tingchang felt more and more that something was wrong. After losing 419's support, he sometimes had to rely on his instincts to make judgments. He felt that his headquarters was cunning and there should be no flaws, maybe there was something wrong with Tao Mingzhang?
The Japanese bombers continued to fly according to the predetermined coordinates, the machine gunners left the machine gun tower to check the nuclear bomb for the last time, and manually opened the safety, now the nuclear bomb is in a state that can be detonated at any time, the cockpit is the co-pilot, as long as the button is pressed, the current released by the relay will detonate the 32 * above the main charge, and detonate the 18,000 tons of equivalent * in one fell swoop (each time the Japanese nuclear explosion, the yield has been increased).
After completing the work, the four crew members parachuted out of the plane, and since the magazine could not be closed, they jumped directly from the side of the nuclear bomb. They were more than 15 kilometers away from the intended location of the explosion and should be safe, but none of them had been trained to parachute directly, so there was no difference between parachuting directly into the mountains at night and committing suicide with poison.
In the cockpit, the three crew members began to sing military songs and meet each other at the Yasukuni Shrine, and they saw a dim light in front of them from a distance, and the light was at the target. Apparently the enemy headquarters had a light control, but it still leaked light, probably a military vehicle parked nearby.
Chu Tingchang was restless in the headquarters, it was almost dawn, and he didn't take off his clothes to sleep, so he paced around the map, and just sent a telegram to Tao Mingzhang, asking him to disperse his troops as much as possible, and he didn't wait for a response.
Suddenly, there was a flash of light outside the window, and he knew that the situation was not good, so he quickly got under the bed, and the explosion took 40 seconds to arrive. Apparently the location of the explosion was ten kilometers away. Far away from the window, a fireball was slowly rising, and the rumbling wind was constantly howling.
I didn't think that this was a well-planned nuclear attack, without warning at all, but I don't know why, the enemy touched his own headquarters, but finally found the wrong target, Chu Tingchang was indeed cunning, and deployed a few fake camps, but the direction of the explosion, there were no suspicious soldiers, there seemed to be nothing there.
He knew that the mushroom cloud would rise, and the hot air currents with radioactive materials would soon be cold and form heavy rain, so he had to quickly order the troops to evacuate. Lin Xiuxuan's prediction of the most critical moment came in advance, and the enemy mastered the bomber carrying *. According to the virtues of the Japanese, this card is bound to be played continuously. Although Lin Xiuxuan told him that the enemy's nuclear bombs were capped at 9, and 4 had been knocked out by pinching his fingers, Director Lin's words were not accurate every time.
Sakagaki immediately received a report from the front at the headquarters that the nuclear attack was successful, and the outer agents witnessed the fireball rising, but the closer agents and parachutists have not yet sent back the message, and more accurate information needs to be verified later.
Soon, his listening unit heard the chaos in Chu Ting's headquarters, and all the troops were calling the headquarters. The enemy had obviously suffered an unprecedented blow, and his listening department had not yet discovered that Chu Tingchang's troops were so chaotic.
