Dust... Rubble... Endless ruins...

The smell of gunpowder smoke after the explosion of the shells has not yet dissipated, and the corpses that were roasted by the incendiary bombs last night still emit a foul smell...

The Japanese in Yangon had been holding out in such an environment for more than 40 days, but the bloody battle was still not over.

Every day, all kinds of artillery poured overhead, and the covering fire continued for more than a month, which caused the Japanese army to suffer a great blow.

More than 70,000 little devils have already lost more than 50 percent of their personnel, and more than half of the surviving soldiers are wounded, and some people die every day because of serious injuries and infections, and there are less than 10,000 soldiers still fighting at present.

After all, they are always beaten, except for the loss of most of the heavy weapons, the food and ammunition are still sufficient, but the wounded, sick and war-weariness are increasing day by day.

The hardest thing to bite is the fortress on the hillside in the southwest corner of Yangon town, where all the tunnels and caves start from.

The turrets and pillboxes on the surface were flattened, but the permanent fortifications built on the mountain did not have a good way to conquer them.

The bombers can't blow up the bombs, the heavy artillery can't be blocked by the mountains, and there are countless hidden bunkers in the surrounding city to echo the tunnels, and the only way seems to be to fill it with the lives of soldiers.

Moreover, according to the movements of the Japanese army, their command system was also located here.

At about 8 a.m., the expeditionary force outside the Yangon city defense area began to prepare for war, ammunition was distributed, all soldiers received two days' individual rations, and the field hospital was also packing up and moving closer to the front.

The 1st and 2nd Regiments of the Honorary 3rd Division, the Tank Regiment and the Motorized Infantry Regiment of the Armored Brigade were ready to go as the main attack team, and the rest of the troops were in reserve, ready to enter the battle at any time.

The heavy artillery brigade was in full swing, and several rounds of shelling once again added countless craters to the battlefield.

The Rocket Artillery Regiment also joined in, and countless rockets screamed in the air, covering round after round of Japanese positions like fire-breathing dragons.

Twenty minutes later, the impact point gradually thinned out, and the tense atmosphere reached its peak in the army,

As is customary... When the frequency of the shelling decreases, it is the moment when the infantry advances with the extension of fire, and then there is hard street fighting.

Just as everyone clenched their weapons, they thought that a big battle was about to begin, but they waited for a long time but did not receive the order to attack from above.

Until the shelling was completely over, there was no sound on the battlefield except for the smoke of gunpowder, and the soldiers were puzzled, and even the officers of the various departments did not understand what kind of trouble this was.

…

Also puzzled were the little devils, who almost finished their breakfast with shells on their shoulders, and then picked up their weapons and began to deploy in the position.

In particular, the hillside fort in the southwest corner of Yangon's city is heavily guarded, and it is not only their command center, but also the central hub of the tunnel transportation network, where most of the supplies are hoarded, and the importance is not to be insignificant.

But almost an hour after the shelling, the enemy still did not come up, and this only made it impossible for the Japanese to be put in order.

The expeditionary force's battle is still the largest in half a month, and usually only a few 125 howitzers are at most, and it will definitely not be as full of firepower as it is now.

Just when everyone was wondering, there was a sudden roar in the sky.

The Japanese who are often bombed are familiar with the sound of the B29 bomber flying at low altitude

It turned out that the enemy was waiting for the next wave of bombing if he didn't attack, but this firepower was not well connected, and the bombers came back after the shelling had been over for so long.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

There were several loud bangs, and the shells struck the Japanese positions again, but the imagined violent explosion did not appear, but a large cloud of red smoke rose from the positions.

This frightened the Japanese, and they began to hide and escape, thinking that the expeditionary force had used poison gas bombs again, but it took a long time to find that they were just a few marked smoke bombs.

The little devil is still rejoicing, but he doesn't know that an unprecedented crisis has come to the top of his head.

…

"Flight altitude 750, speed 600, advance angle 30, acquiring coordinate position, please pay attention to the red reference..."

On the bomber, the pilot is reporting all the data, and the weapons engineer conducts a final safety check on the bomb.

The rest of the crew also sweated, and only a moment before takeoff did they learn that this time it was a new type of incendiary bomb with a large area.

Just by looking at the sheer size, you can see that the power of this thing is absolutely terrifying.

The area of red smoke on the ground was particularly noticeable, and the bombardier calculated the angle of the bomb in the sight instrument with a solemn expression.

Because he had never used a weapon like a cloud burst bomb, and he was not sure of the specific explosive power, Liao Mingyu did not let the troops attack first, so as not to cause unnecessary accidental injuries.

"You've arrived at the target plane, you have 20 seconds!"

Upon reaching the designated location, the bomb chamber door slowly opened, and the weapons engineer opened the external time-delay safety of the cloudburst bomb, then nodded to the bombardier.

The moment the release spring was turned on, the BLU82 vacuum bomb fell straight to the ground like a meteorite. The bomber suddenly lost 6.8 tons of weight, and the entire fuselage shook violently.

The free-falling bomb made a sound of breaking through the air, but just halfway down, the umbrella bag device at the tail of the bomb was activated, and a white parachute quickly deployed.

Even with the deceleration of the parachute, the bomb still falls quickly due to its weight and inertia bonus.

Just as it was about to fall to the ground, the BLU82 vacuum bomb suddenly exploded, and a white cloud with a diameter of more than 500 meters bloomed in midair.

Instead of explosives, a kilogram of cloudburst is three times more powerful than a tonnite of the same weight.

The white cloud was the sol cloud that had been first detonated by the cloudburst agent and diffused into the air.

A few tenths of a second later, the ignition fuse detonated, instantly igniting the white cloud. A blinding light erupted like a sun in mid-air, and the terrifying shockwave from the detonation effect swept towards the ground.

Suddenly, a huge fireball rose into the sky, and the 2,500-degree high-pressure and high-burning fireball rapidly expanded at seven times the speed of sound, leaving no grass in its pass, and no one was spared.

If napalm can still leave a charred corpse in place, there may not be even slag left in the center of the cloud burst explosion.

Since the reaction time of the high-energy fuel is dozens of times that of explosives, the detonation burns for several minutes, during which the surrounding oxygen is rapidly consumed, and even if it is not burned by the high temperature, it will die of suffocation.

The little devil outside the bunker bore the brunt of the attack, and was vaporized by the heat in the blink of an eye. Even if you hide underground, you can't escape the scorching heat, and the powerful shock wave directly shatters the internal organs.

The detonation effect was not over, and the combustion drained all the oxygen within a radius of 500 meters from the center of the explosion, and the fate of those within this radius can be imagined.

The little devils couldn't estimate how many people were killed and wounded, only that their mountain fortress in the southwest corner was basically completely destroyed, and more than 20 senior officers of the Japanese command died in the explosion...

A few kilometers away, the corners of Liao Mingyu's mouth, who was still observing, twitched twice unconsciously, and the hand holding the telescope trembled slightly.

No wonder it is said that all beings are equal under the cloud burst bomb, looking at the mushroom cloud that slowly rises, this terrifying power... It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a nuclear weapon with a small yield.
