Once the Yankees are determined, they will naturally not let Japan go. So next, the Japanese also suffered a mushroom. Hey, it seems that they still haven't run away, but they should be luckier than the Germans, who were the first to be hit by an atomic bomb on their own plane.
This mushroom of the Yankees was used in Botswana, targeting mechanized clusters in Japan.
On June 22, a large fireball rose from the vast desert, a mushroom cloud rose one after another, and the Fifth Mechanized Division of the Japanese Army was gone, with more than 20,000 dead and wounded, and countless equipment destroyed.
Mushrooms have been grown, and the Japanese have some hair in their hearts. The Japanese are still one step away from the atomic bomb, and it will take three months to come out at the earliest. But these three months have been terrible, and a bomb has blown up a division! Who knows how many Yankees there are?
As a result, Japanese President Comrade Kita Kazuki personally went to Hanjing to urgently ask the boss for help, and they urgently needed to buy atomic bombs, otherwise they would be too passive. Mr. Wen generously expressed his support, but said that there was no such thing as an atomic bomb in stock.
This is true, Wen Desi did not lie to him, because China's last atomic bomb was decommissioned three years ago, this first-generation nuclear weapon Wen Desi is not eye-catching at all, he has not built much, and now China's worst nuclear weapons are hydrogen bombs. Naturally, it is impossible to have a spot atomic bomb for Japan,
But whether the hydrogen bomb will be sold or not? Mr. Wen hesitated for a moment and decided to postpone it. Comrade Xiang Yihui said that we cannot directly sell atomic bombs, which are weapons of mass destruction. But I can sell you the materials and weapons-grade plutonium raw materials, and you can make your own. At the same time, he found a group of experts to introduce the situation of the atomic bomb to Kita Yihui, including how to use it, how to prevent it, and so on.
Comrade Kita Yihui returned happily with enough weapons-grade plutonium raw materials to make ten atomic bombs.
With China's guarantee and support, Japan seemed to have been injected with a heart booster, and its offensive became even more violent. Although there are only raw materials, it will take some time before the finished product is finished. But now I have the bottom of my mind.
Japan quickly retaliated by dropping more than 2,000 second-generation cloud burst bombs on U.S.-controlled areas of South Africa on June 30. Directly destroyed three cities under the control of the Western Coalition Army, directly killed and injured more than 150,000 coalition troops, and took advantage of the situation to counterattack.
That's when the advantages of the cloudburst bomb came into play. It is much faster to produce than the atomic bomb, it uses gasoline and combustible dust materials, and it has no problem making thousands of rounds a month. More importantly, it is light in weight and can be thrown by tactical fighters, which is much easier than a heavy bomber carrying an atomic bomb to break through enemy air defenses, although a single bomb is not powerful enough, but this can be solved by numbers.
Moreover, the atomic bomb is an energy-intensive weapon, and the power of the center of the explosion center is amazing, but the distance is far away, the lethality is small, which is why the low-yield cluster warhead was later developed and a single super-high-yield nuclear warhead was used less. The situation of the hot-pressed bomb is slightly better because of the spread of oil, gas and dust, but more importantly, because of the large number, it can be scattered and thrown on the vast battlefield, so the more the amount of throwing, the larger the killing range, and the efficiency is extremely high.
As soon as the Yankees' mushrooms were smashed, the Japanese army had no choice, and the thousand-year-old desire for land exploded at this moment. Coupled with the fact that they bought nuclear materials from China, and they also learned how to defend from China, the Japanese army, which was greatly confident, launched the most crazy attack since the beginning of the war, and almost all Japanese troops organized a team of supervisors, "Whoever takes a step back will be killed!"
The Western Coalition Army is a multinational force, and its casualty bearing capacity, especially those cannon fodder, is far inferior to that of the Japanese army, and the entire line is suddenly collapsed, but fortunately, the American army, as the main force, is mostly arranged in the rear, and the losses are not large. After retreating, they regrouped and built a new line of defense.
After the Japanese had overcome the first line of defense of the coalition forces, the advance had not gone far before it was again blocked. However, the Japanese army fully demonstrated its madness under the threat of death, and immediately dropped 2,000 cloudburst bombs again, and then launched a "onboard charge", this time killing and injuring up to 200,000 allied troops. The number of coalition forces was already less than that of the Japanese army, and their morale was hit again, and the whole front was suddenly in an emergency.
According to common sense, when the battle is fought, the US troops should retreat. The U.S. military did not scare the Japanese in terms of mass destruction, and in terms of the number of people killed and wounded, it was inferior to the conventional weapons of the Japanese. Moreover, the morale of those cannon fodder in the West Covenant is low, and it is no longer meaningful to fight again, it is just a one-sided massacre.
However, the United States refused to retreat, perhaps because they knew that they still had eight atomic bombs at home that could be used, perhaps out of political necessity, perhaps because they hoped that Japan would just return to the past, or perhaps because the two sides were in red eye. Anyway, after the quarrel, the Allies chose to continue the fight at the insistence of the American army.
The Germans also refused to rest, and on the one hand, they stepped up the production of nuclear materials, and on the other hand, they also sent people to China to buy finished atomic bombs. He also wanted to do the same as the Japanese, providing them with plutonium raw materials that could make ten atomic bombs.
So, the overjoyed mustache immediately put two of them into his hand, first one for the opium cow. This one was the anchorage of the Anglo-American fleet in Sparka Bay, and the Germans were not targeting the thick-skinned capital ships, but the three aircraft carriers that the Anglo-American had just commissioned. This 35,000-ton atomic bomb completely destroyed these three aircraft carriers.
The second atomic bomb, but the mustache was used in an unexpected place - Sankigani in Congo State. It is an important stronghold of the confrontation between the United States and East Africa, and it is also an important transit point for supplies. At this time, the main force of more than 30,000 people in the United States was reimbursed and a large number of supplies were destroyed. So the American counterattack in the direction of East Africa was withdrawn and failed.
Moreover, the mustache still refused to rest, dispatched all the bombers and fighters that could carry bombs in East Africa, crossed the Great Rift Valley and attacked major bases and important cities in the Congo, such as Kalanga and Isiro, and bombed indiscriminately for six consecutive days, and the East African Air Force used up almost all of its bomb stockpiles, destroyed most of the cities, and killed and injured nearly one million coalition troops and more African refugees who had fled here before.
Japan, on the other hand, refused to show weakness and also took advantage of its air superiority to wantonly and indiscriminately bomb the three states of West Africa and South Africa.
Once this kind of thing starts, it's hard to stop.
In June and July alone, the Japanese side suffered 500,000 casualties under the US atomic bomb attack, follow-up army strikes, and bombing. Germany suffered more than 400,000 casualties. The coalition forces were even worse, with 2.5 million military casualties (including 2 million U.S. troops), 300,000 prisoners (more than 200,000 U.S. troops), and 4 million civilian casualties in various places.
Just two months of weapons of mass destruction have resulted in U.S. military casualties equivalent to the total casualties of the wars over the past few years. To put it simply, within two months, the United States was able to make up for the casualties it had not suffered before, and now the number of manpower losses in the United States and the ratio of its population to its population are equal to those of Germany and Japan. At this point, everyone, including the United States, Britain, Japan, Germany, France and the Soviet Union, and other countries watching the war, fully understood the power and effectiveness of weapons of mass destruction.
After receiving the news, the cactus classmate was so angry that he trembled and was speechless. With more than 2 million soldiers killed and wounded in two months, and 200,000 captured, he knew that he was completely out of the next president. Subsequently, he turned his grief and anger into rage, and propagated that he wanted to completely destroy Germany and Japan.
Subsequently, Ghana viciously circled the top names in a list of bombing targets -- Xijing and Berlin.
On August 12, 24 B-22s (equivalent to B-36s) took off from the continental United States and flew directly to the United Kingdom and Namibia, escorted by more than 300 fighter jets along the way.
Late at night on August 14, two groups of bombers carrying atomic bombs flew directly to Xijing and Berlin in preparation for a nuclear strike on the capitals of the two empires. They especially chose to enter at night, so that it would be difficult for German-Japanese fighters to intercept bombers.
Because there is already a precedent, the cities of Germany and Japan have long been subject to light control, but this has no effect on the B-22 with radar bombsights. But this time their operation failed. They underestimated the anti-aircraft fire of Germany and Japan.
Before they could enter the borders of Germany and Japan, the bomber groups were met with a dense crowd of night fighters and interceptors. The German and Japanese air forces were all experienced veterans, and they only assigned a small number of planes to entangle the US escort fighters, while most of the rest went to besiege the US bombers.
All 6 bombers carrying atomic bombs were shot down. Well, but it wasn't a complete failure, two of the six atomic bombs in the two groups exploded.
On the German side, the bomber crew was in a hurry, mistakenly thinking that it was in Germany, so they followed the plan and threw it casually. But this is not Germany, but the hapless Netherlands. So the Great Holland lay down and was shot, and the atomic bomb fell on Arnhem, on the Dutch-German border. Most of the city was destroyed, killing and injuring more than 40,000 people.
At this time, the Dutch gave up, so under the diplomatic struggle of the mustache, they also joined the Central Powers and declared war on Britain and the United States.
And the one that exploded in Japan fell on the desert of Botswana, causing the Japanese to have a false alarm and break out in a cold sweat. The other four atomic bombs were found by Germany and Japan from the wreckage of the plane, but of course they were all broken and could not be used. But the raw materials are available.
Seeing that the Yankees were so frenzied and ready to grow mushrooms in their native cities, both Germany and Japan were angry. So they also retaliated in reciprocal revenge. Germany and Japan immediately used the urgently produced atomic bombs to attack the cities of the United States and Britain on their home turf.
In the history of the original time and space, the nuclear deterrence theory of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union did not mature until the 80s, and the fundamental reason for this was not the nuclear weapons themselves, but the fact that both sides possessed a sufficient number of nuclear weapons. Put simply, when both sides have hundreds or thousands of nuclear weapons, there is a chance to end the war or prevent it from breaking out, considering the damage it may cause. But when both sides are already at war with only a few or even a dozen or dozens of nuclear weapons, and can only produce and hoard them at a rate of one per month, then the only idea for both sides is to produce atomic bombs as soon as possible and throw them on the enemy's head in order to force the enemy to surrender, or at least to make him agree to an armistice.
Not to mention anything else, at the peak of the Cold War in the original time and space, when the United States faced the Soviet Union's absolute numerical superiority in armor, its standard plan was to use nuclear mines, nuclear artillery shells and other tactical nuclear weapons on a large scale as soon as the war began, so as to reduce or even stop the momentum of the Russian armored forces. The Russian army has also developed a large number of short-range tactical nuclear missiles to bomb NATO air force and air defense bases to assist in breakthroughs.
And the destructive power and lethality of atomic weapons, that is not a problem. Both the original plane and the original plane, the warring sides in World War I used poison gas on a large scale for several years, resulting in direct casualties of millions of people, and more than double the number of troops suffering from gas phobia and morale, which did not end the war. In World War II, the Soviet Union lost more than 10 million soldiers and 20 million civilians, while Germany lost 5.5 million soldiers and nearly 2 million civilians, and did not surrender because of this.
Even Japan, which did not surrender until the end, did not suffer from the atomic bomb. The casualties caused by the atomic bomb to Japan were only a fraction of the casualties, and the main effects were the starvation caused by the blockade, the incendiary bombardment that lasted for more than a year, and the entry of the Soviet Union into the war.
As for the humanitarian problems caused by the mass destruction of atomic bombs, this has never been on the minds of national governments. Not to mention that the United States, Britain and Germany all attacked cities with a large number of bombers and incendiary bombs, causing millions of civilian casualties. They've done the same on this plane. So far, more than 6 million civilian casualties have been caused by the bombing of the British mainland, more than 4 million civilian casualties in the United States, and even Germany, which is heavily prepared, has accumulated more than 2 million civilian casualties under the massive bombing of the "free world". Even Japan, which was the last to be bombed, now has 400,000 civilian casualties.
This is war, and no one will care or question the civilian casualties of the enemy country until it is won. As the saying goes, "wars are meaningless until they end as the victors."
This time, in response to the Anglo-American nuclear strike, both Germany and Japan discussed, Britain and the United States were in charge of Germany in the north, and Japan was in charge of the south.
As for how they got the atomic bomb to the United States? It's very simple, they have missile submarines. Germany and Japan have modified their submarines that originally launched conventional missiles, and the quadruple launcher has become a single launcher, which can launch nuclear missiles one at a time and carry a four-ton warhead.
On August 28, a mushroom cloud rose in eight cities, including London and Glasgow in the United Kingdom and New York, Detroit, Washington, Boston, Miami and Philadelphia in the United States.
Eight atomic bombs exploded in eight cities in Britain and the United States. In particular, it fell on New York, which was so densely populated that it suffered 400,000 casualties.
Subsequently, Hitler made a public speech, declaring that "the United States has reached the end of its power", and in turn demanded that the United States surrender immediately, or the atomic bomb would be used to completely wipe the United States off the map.
And this time, the United States also learned to be obedient, and loaded the remaining four atomic bombs on the missile submarines that came out of the copycat, and launched a retaliation against Germany and Japan.
On September 20, four mushroom clouds rose over Germany......
