I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

With the cooperation between China and the United States and the armistice between Germany and the United States, a large amount of weapons and equipment from the United States and Germany were resold to China at a low price, including thousands of strategic bombers and hundreds of submarines, which made the Chinese Air Force's strategic bombers, The number of submarines of the Chinese Navy has increased dramatically, and its ability to destroy Japan has been continuously improved.

The Chinese Air Force and the Chinese Navy carried out these precise and efficient strikes on the Japanese mainland according to Jiang Weiguo's order, and the effect was immediate. Before the standstill, not only that, Jiang Weiguo also carried out a drastic blow to Japan's agricultural production. The strategic bombers of the Chinese Air Force carrying a large number of incendiary bombs not only bombed Japanese cities and industrial areas, but also targeted Japan's farmland and agricultural production. In the district, the bombs fell into flames, and large tracts of farmland were burned in the continuous fire, and all the growing crops were reduced to ashes.

The army launched a ground attack, the air force launched strategic bombing and sea mine blockade, and the navy launched unlimited submarine warfare and sea blockade. After deploying these measures, the next thing Jiang Weiguo has to do is to wait for the Japanese mainland to fall into weakness due to industrial shutdown , because of the agricultural truce and starved to death in the wild, until the final destruction.

Chapter 784

On October 1944, 10, Germany, the United States and Britain officially signed an armistice agreement, and the German-American War ended; on October 1, the second day after the end of the German-American War, the German government declared war on Japan. World peace threatens Germany's national security."

自美国于1942年3月31正式向日本宣战、中国于1944年7月7日正式向日本宣战后，德国也正式向日本宣战。

The United States, Germany, and China, the world's three major powers have declared war on Japan successively, which means that Japan is doomed to escape even if Amaterasu appears.

Looking down at the world from a macro perspective, before the outbreak of World War II, there were eight major powers in the world, the United States, Germany, the Soviet Union, Britain, France, Italy, Japan, and China. After four or five years of "survival of the fittest, the weak and the strong" After the reshuffle of the war, the Soviet Union has been completely defeated (Germany launched the last war against the Soviet Union while declaring war on Japan), France was defeated and surrendered, Italy has always been a follower and vassal of Germany, and Britain has been stubbornly resisting for more than two years Afterwards, it was also sent to the grave. Although Britain was not completely destroyed and still retained the "Kingdom of England", it had been completely dismembered, and its overseas colonies disappeared (some were captured by Germany, Italy, China, and Japan. , and some were annexed by the United States), and even the mainland has lost nearly half of it. From then on, the British Empire, which used to be "the sun never sets", can only become a follower of the United States like Germany's follower Italy. It is only a second-rate small country. The only major powers in the world are the United States, Germany, China, and Japan. Among the four countries, Japan’s national strength is completely inferior to any of the other three countries, but it is also attacked by the other three countries. Its fate is terrible. It is understandable, and at this time, the United States, Germany, and China basically do not have a two-front war at this time. The United States is neither at war with Germany nor with China. The armistice came to an end. Although the Soviet Union was to be eradicated at the same time, there was still sufficient and strong national power to deal with Japan. The last battle against the Soviet Union was just a "handy matter" for the German army. As for China, the situation was even more ideal. China and Germany have always been close. China and the United States have cooperated hand in hand, and [-]% of their national power can be used in the final battle against Japan.

The three major powers in Germany and Germany attack Japan together, which is tantamount to killing a chicken with a sledgehammer, and it is still a bony chicken with three sledgehammers.

Jiang Weiguo has worked hard for so many years, and finally guided the world structure and war situation into a model that is most beneficial to China.

The three major powers of the United States and Germany attacked Japan together. There is no doubt that among the three major powers, China is the main force, and virtue is only a help.

This is because Japan belongs to Asia and will be China's sphere of influence after the war. Japan is also very close to China, and its geographical location is very critical. China must monopolize Japan. Although the top leaders of the United States are not reconciled to this, Jiang Weiguo's many clever methods have forced the top leaders of the United States to accept this reality. Therefore, for the United States, Japan is already a chicken rib that has no meat to eat. After Japan, the results of the war are basically China's. In this case, the United States naturally does not need to fight against China to defeat Japan. The United States and Japan continue to fight desperately. The United States "at least 10,000+ boys will fall under the guns of the Japanese army ", but also consume a lot of wealth and material resources. Instead of this, simply be a favor and let the Chinese army take the top.

According to the secret agreement reached between Jiang Weiguo and Roosevelt, the Chinese and American armies will fight Japan in the following way: the U.S. Navy will naturally act as the main force in the sea war, but the U.S. Navy must obey the dispatch of the Chinese Army Command to a large extent; With the Chinese army as the main force, the U.S. military only needs to send some troops to "wave the flag" behind the Chinese army. The nominal "victory", thus creating public opinion in the United States that "the US and Chinese troops together wiped out the Japanese army and defeated Japan" and "the US army finally took revenge on the Japanese on the battlefield and avenged the Japanese attack on Hawaii". , In this way, the Roosevelt administration will have a satisfactory explanation to the American taxpayers. At the same time, this kind of cooperation can also save the US military many lives and bloodshed. The US government is naturally very happy; The attack was completed by the Chinese and American troops together. The U.S. Army Air Corps sent a large number of aircraft, including tens of thousands of strategic bombers, to China or the occupied areas of the Chinese army, and together with the Chinese Air Force, they carried out strategic bombing of the Japanese mainland; not only that , the United States will act as China's arsenal in the future, selling a large amount of weapons and equipment to the Chinese army at low prices or directly for nothing (Jiang Weiguo exchanged atomic bomb technology with Roosevelt for 100 billion US dollars, half of which was for Roosevelt to use arms to pay off debts ), focusing on strategic bombers, warships, infantry light weapons and ammunition, Jiang Weiguo looked down on US tanks, artillery and other weapons, he only fancy US B-17, B-29 and aircraft carriers, battleships, heavy cruisers and other main warships As for infantry light weapons and ammunition, although the Chinese army has a very large number, the more the better. You must know that the United States produced more than 400 billion rounds of ammunition during World War II. Now, the United States has stopped fighting with Germany. The war against Japan was mainly done by the Chinese army. The piles of bullets in the US military warehouses are useless, and they will only rust if they are not used. It is a matter of course for the Chinese army to use them. As for bombs and other conventional ammunition Of course, the United States will also provide generously to China, as much as it wants.

Not to mention Germany, as China's most staunch ally, when the ally launched the final battle against the thousand-year-old enemy, Germany would naturally give all it could to aid China.

The German Army will not participate in the war. Firstly, the journey is too long. Traveling thousands of miles from the western end of the Eurasian continent to the eastern end of the Eurasian continent will only waste the transportation capacity of the railway network. Second, the Chinese Army is already strong enough and does not need the help of the German Army. Three times, the German Army will then consolidate Germany's overall control over Europe and deal with the Soviet Union. It is "a little bit busy", but the German Air Force and German Navy will go all out to help the Chinese Air Force and Chinese Navy fight against Japan. of.

With Hitler's big hand, two-fifths of the Luftwaffe's existing aircraft were transferred to the Sino-Japanese battlefield to fight side by side with the Chinese Air Force. The number exceeded [-], and nearly half of them were strategic bombers. Reserve enough military power to defend against the U.S. military in Europe. Therefore, a large number of fighter jets of the Luftwaffe are still waiting in Europe. At the same time, the Luftwaffe does not need to engage in strategic bombing at this time, so most of the strategic bombers are sent to China to assist the Chinese army in combat; As for the German navy, it was even more mobilized. Two-thirds of the surface fleet sailed from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and nine out of ten of its submarines came to the Sino-Japanese battlefield. Coupled with the huge number of submarines in the Chinese navy, Japan The number and density of submarines in the waters around the mainland have reached a near "saturation" state.

After the Chinese army received strong assistance from Germany and the United States, the number of strategic bombers in the sky in Japan suddenly exceeded [-], and the number of submarines in the waters around Japan increased to nearly [-].

The mighty national power of the three world-class powers in the United States and Germany gathered together on the Japanese battlefield to form the most terrifying war force in human history.

Beginning in early October, the lines of communication between China and Germany (mainly the North Asian railway network, and some German arms and personnel came to China by transport ships via the "Mediterranean-Suez Canal-India" sea route) and the Sino-US The transportation line between them (the US transport ships set off from the west coast of the continental United States, first sailed to Hawaii, which is jointly controlled by the Chinese and American armies, then crossed the Pacific Ocean, arrived at Oceania, which was already controlled by the United States, and then traveled all the way from the southern waters of Australia and New Zealand. To the west, into the Indian Ocean, and finally to Burma, Thailand, Malaya and other places controlled by China) day and night, it fell into an endless stream of extremely busy trains from Germany to China and trains from Germany to China. The ships from the United States to China are endless every day and every night. The ships are full of various war materials such as military personnel, weapons and equipment, machinery and equipment, and industrial raw materials.

During the Japanese war, China obtained an astonishing amount of war materials from Germany and the United States. For bullets alone, Germany assisted China with more than 40 billion rounds, and the United States also assisted China with more than 100 billion rounds.

After the armistice between Germany and the United States, both armies left a large amount of weapons and equipment. Through his friendship with Hitler and his deal with Roosevelt, Jiang Weiguo bought them from Germany and the United States at a low price comparable to that of liquidation and buy one get three free. A very large number of weapons and equipment were purchased, and both Hitler and Roosevelt gave Jiang Weiguo an equally large amount of weapons and equipment for free, so that the Nanjing Army on the front line "had so many bullets that even if the Japanese were cats, all of them had Nine lives can kill them all”——If the weapons and equipment are not used for a long time, the maintenance cost and the cost of destroying them will exceed the production cost of the weapons and equipment. people.

Obviously, both Hitler and Roosevelt chose the second solution, thus benefiting Jiang Weiguo in vain.

Jiang Weiguo has made an unprecedented fortune, so he has the war power that can completely destroy Japan.

The whole of Japan began to fall into a nightmare, and all Japanese began to taste the taste of the coming disaster.

For ordinary Japanese, the Hokkaido War and the Korean War still have some distance in space after all. The submarine forces of the Chinese and German navies (and some U.S. submarines also participated) will take time to strangle the Japanese mainland. It shows its horror, and it is the strategic bombing of Japan launched by China, Germany and the United States that really made countless Japanese people experience and see it with their own eyes, and feel unforgettable shock and fear because of it. The strategic bombers of Japan are right in front of the eyes of the Japanese, and the overwhelming bombs are right on the heads of the Japanese. Through the strategic bombing, the three countries of China, Germany and the United States can vividly and unobstructedly show the powerful national power of the three countries to the Japanese, let the Japanese know How small and fragile they and the so-called Great Japanese Empire are, let the Japanese who are arrogant and firmly believe that the Great Japanese Empire is the world's most powerful country know how naive and ridiculous their previous self-perception was.

On July 7, according to Jiang Weiguo's order, the Chinese Air Force launched the first strategic bombing of the Japanese mainland. More than 7 strategic bombers were dispatched to bomb all the large cities in Kyushu Island and all the large cities in the west and north of Shikoku Island. Over 3000 tons of various types of bombs were dropped on cities, and all larger cities in the southwestern, central, and northern parts of Honshu Island, of which more than 1 tons were incendiary bombs and petrol bombs.

Since this is the first time that the Chinese Air Force has carried out strategic bombing of the Japanese mainland, there is no precedent, lack of actual combat experience, and many deficiencies in the preparation work, and the air power and air defense force of the Japanese army at this time are not too weak. The bombing did not achieve particularly good results, and the losses were not small. A total of more than 200 aircraft were lost due to Japanese counterattacks, mechanical failures, and lost flight. However, this operation allowed the Chinese Air Force to gain valuable practical experience and make up for many shortcomings. place.

From the first ten days of July to the end of September, the Chinese Air Force carried out 7 large-scale strategic bombings on the Japanese mainland, causing relatively serious damage and blows to the Japanese mainland. The actual combat experience has become more and more abundant, and the bombing strategies and plans have also been obtained. Comprehensive and perfect.

At the same time, the Nanjing Army on the Korean battlefield had broken through the Japanese "Seoul city group defense line", and then concentrated its forces to attack the southeastern part of the peninsula, successively occupying Daegu, Pohang, Ulsan and other large cities in the southeastern part of the peninsula. On land, the Nanjing Army and the Japanese mainland are basically separated by the Korean Strait, which also allows the Chinese Air Force to take off strategic bombers only more than 300 kilometers away from the Japanese mainland, and the bombing conditions have been greatly improved.

October 10, this day is a special day, because this day is Jiang Weiguo's birthday, in order to "sorrow" to Jiang Weiguo and mourn Jiang Weiguo's "spirit in heaven", after careful planning and full preparations, the Chinese Air Force is here. One day, the bombing of Tokyo was officially launched, and Tokyo was officially bombed by enemy aircraft groups on this day.

In fact, the timing and conditions for bombing Tokyo are already ripe. On the one hand, the Chinese Air Force has been greatly strengthened. It has more than 3000 German Air Force strategic bombers and more than 2000 American strategic bombers that have come to China to participate in the war. On the other hand, the Chinese Air Force has basically been able to use the Korean Peninsula as a springboard to launch a full-scale air strike on the Japanese mainland at this time. The fleet can fly into Japanese airspace as long as it flies over the 180-kilometer-wide Korean Strait.

Jiang Weiguo's name has not only become a nightmare for the Japanese, but his birthday has also become a nightmare for the Japanese.

The "First Tokyo Bombing" with the Chinese Air Force as the main force and the participation of the German Air Force and the U.S. Army Air Forces, although it was claimed that Tokyo was bombed, the actual bombing scope was far beyond Tokyo, but covered With Tokyo as the core, the entire Kanto region of Japan, this operation can be said to be overwhelming in writing, and it is difficult to describe a thousandth of it. Gao Zhihang, the first ace pilot of the Chinese Air Force and the fourth ace pilot in the world, participated in this operation Afterwards, this earth-shattering bombing was described as follows:

"...I still remember the scene of the 'September [-]th Incident'. I was stunned and shocked to see groups of Japanese soldiers with live ammunition swaggering across the streets of Shenyang. In front of my eyes, I was an instructor of the Northeast Aviation Education Class at that time, a Chinese soldier. The responsibility of a soldier made me rush forward angrily to stop those Japanese soldiers, but I was pushed away fiercely, and a few bayonets were in front of me. Waving it in front of my eyes, a small Japanese officer yelled at me, 'Go home, don't seek death'.

As a Chinese and a Chinese soldier, what a shame it is to watch foreign soldiers trample on our own land wantonly!With a flick of time, it was already 13 years ago. 13 years ago, how arrogant, arrogant, and arrogant the Japanese were, and how humiliating we Chinese were in front of the Japanese! Today, 13 years later, what is the situation between China and Japan?Everything makes me feel like a dream, our planes, countless planes, are flying into the sky of Japanese territory, ready to bomb the Japanese mainland!Although this is not the first time I have seen such a majestic scene full of planes in the sky, my blood is still boiling, and I am so excited that every skin on my body has goose bumps.

Flying at the front and on both sides of the bomber fleet is our fighter squadron. Looking around, every airspace is filled with dense but orderly fleets, completely blocking out the sky and the sun.

A total of more than 7000 aircraft participated in this first large-scale air raid on Tokyo, of which about 29 were strategic bombers, about 17 were our "Panda" and "Phoenix", and about 29 were from the Luftwaffe The "Panda" and "Phoenix" of the United States, and about a thousand of them are B-29s of the US military. There is no B-17. The US strategic bombers are all B-29s, because the bombing power of the B-29 is higher than that of the B-[-] On the first floor, our Air Force executives asked the U.S. military to send only B-[-]s to China to participate in the war, so that all the U.S. troops sent were B-[-]s.

More than 7000 planes converged into several large metallic silver clouds and rushed towards Kanto, Japan from different directions.

With so many planes, even though the Army brothers are trying their best to build an airport in the southeast of the Korean Peninsula, it is difficult to provide enough airports in a short period of time. Therefore, some of the fleets fly from the northeast, some fly from Shandong, and some fly from Some flew from southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang, and some flew from the outer northeast or the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. They first flew to the southeastern part of the Korean Peninsula, refueled and reloaded, then transited, and finally flew to Japan.

In addition, both the German and American aircraft are dispatched by our air force. After all, we are the main force in the war against Japan. This is our home field of war. , the Americans have a normal relationship with us, but after all, they need to take off bombers from China, and they must listen to us. Therefore, although the strategic bombing of Japan was carried out jointly by the three major powers, the command is unified, and there is no situation where each of them fights independently .

There is another detail that needs to be emphasized. Before each pilot departs, the superior will provide him with potassium cyanide tablets. The pilot can choose to receive it or not. This is because we know that the Japanese are mad and inhumane. If the plane is in Japan In the event of an accident in the sky, the pilot parachuted and landed in Japan. Once caught by the Japanese army, the result must be death. Potassium cyanide tablets are prepared for this.

Most of our pilots choose to receive potassium cyanide. In fact, in actual combat, if the plane has an accident over Japan and has no way to return and has to make an emergency landing or parachute to abandon the plane, the pilot often chooses to drive the plane into a certain target on the ground. It can not only ensure that he will not fall into the hands of the Japanese army, but also allow his heroic death to get the greatest value.

…After the fleet took off from the southeastern part of the Korean Peninsula, it flew into the airspace of the Northeast Sea (full name China Northeast Sea, formerly known as the Sea of ​​Japan, Jiang Weiguo renamed it "Northeast China Sea") airspace, and not long after, the radio channel There were bursts of cheers, because we saw the outline of the land at the sea level in the east, which is the mainland of Japan. The brothers were all excited, and the voices of each of them were trembling. German and English were also cheering in Chinese. Shouts.

The aircraft fleet basically flew into the sky above Honshu Island from the Kanazawa area in the central and eastern part of Honshu Island. Kanazawa is a port city. We saw dozens of 'Pandas' hovering over the waters outside the port, sometimes on the water surface There was a cloud of water splashing on the ground, those bomber brothers were throwing mines, not just Kanazawa, but most of Japan’s ports, coastal waters, and inland waters were dropped by our strategic bombers. A large number of mines, the effect is amazing Jia, I saw dozens of ships parked here and there in Kanazawa port, all of them were trapped in the port and could not get out. Occasionally, a few paralyzed ships or a few ship masts could be seen in the shallow water of the minefield outside the port. It was a Japanese ship that was severely injured by a mine and ran aground or sank directly. Kanazawa is already a dead port, just like most ports, waterways, and waterways in Japan.

When our aircraft fleet roared over Kanazawa, the flames of anti-aircraft guns bloomed sparsely inside and outside the city, and some Japanese aircraft were taking off, but they hardly pose any threat to us, whether it is 'Panda', 'Phoenix' or B -29, can fly very high, and the Japanese anti-aircraft guns and planes cannot reach us.

There are more than a dozen 'Pandas' in the fleet, under the cover of fighter jets, and began to lower their flight altitudes, preparing to bomb valuable targets in Kanazawa, mainly the port and airport. I looked down at Kanazawa, and the city has been bombed more than once , the bomb crater and the bombed city can be clearly seen in the city. The local port and airport have also been bombed. It is estimated that they were repaired by the Japanese army. We don’t care, anyway, they will be bombed again soon.

We don't care about Kanazawa, which is a place of negligible appeal compared to Tokyo, and we're all engrossed in continuing our flight east, impatient to see the Japanese stronghold.

…After flying over the Hida Mountains and the Echigo Mountains, finally, the core of Japan, the Kanto region, appeared in front of our eyes at a glance. This place really deserves to be the core of Japan. It is the largest plain on the island of Honshu. Therefore, it has become the most densely populated place for Japanese people in Japan. From a bird's-eye view, the entire plain is almost covered by urban buildings, such as Tokyo, Yokohama, Kawasaki, Kawagoe, Kawaguchi, Omiya, Urawa, Tokorozawa, Hachioji, Sagamihara, Ichikawa, Funabashi, Matsudo, Kashiwa, Chiba, Machitena, Fujisawa, Yokosuka... almost twenty large cities and larger cities gather on this plain with an area of ​​less than [-] square kilometers, forming a huge city Qun, what a city!For us, this is simply the most perfect bombing target!The denseness of the city is so good for us!And at the easternmost part of this urban agglomeration is the heart of the Japanese Empire that we have been thinking about day and night—Tokyo.

Before I knew it, I found that I had burst into tears.

We Chinese have waited too long for this day! ..."

Amid the heart-piercing air raid sirens, tens of millions of Japanese in the Tokyo urban agglomeration stared dumbfounded at the sky flooded by strategic bombers from China, Germany and the United States. Their minds were completely frozen, because they could never have dreamed of "There are enemy bombers in the sky in the heart of the empire, and the number is unbelievable." The Japanese anti-aircraft artillery positions on the ground opened fire in a hurry, and the Japanese planes on the airports also hurriedly took off to intercept and fly proudly The three-nation coalition bomber group over the Tokyo urban agglomeration calmly launched a large-scale bombing.

In the high-air flow, there were breath-taking mechanical rotation sounds one after another, and the belly bomb hatch doors of the "Panda", "Phoenix" and B-29 aimed at the target opened one after another, revealing the bombs fully loaded in the cabin, and then, The densely packed bombs fell overwhelmingly like raindrops, and fell like fairies to the Tokyo urban agglomeration on the ground. Immediately, fireballs began to spring up on the ground, and the wind and thunder billowed. The mountains were shaken, and as the number of bombs falling to the ground increased sharply, the number and density of fireballs on the ground increased sharply, converging into seas of flames, and countless fire dragons quickly rose from the ground and went straight to the sky. The huge explosion, the raging fire, and the billowing black smoke shot up into the sky amidst the heart-piercing air defense sirens on the ground. The bombed area collapsed like a magnitude [-] earthquake. The bombers flew slowly over the bombing area in a single line, like rows of flamethrowers whizzing over piles of dry firewood. , Violent vibrations, buildings and buildings collapsed in rows under the impact of explosive fireballs and tsunami-like explosion waves, raising dust and dust that swept across the sky, more incendiary bombs and napalm bombs than conventional bombs, falling down Afterwards, the raging fire roared, and directly plunged large swaths of the city into a sea of ​​flames. Countless fire dragons roared and raged, dancing with the wind, and thick black smoke was like black dragons.

The entire Kanto region is like a toy ravaged by giants, falling apart and beyond recognition. Countless bombs blow up the ground and the artificial buildings built on the ground are blown apart like crops in a crop field trampled by cattle. The city was blown up to ashes and razed to the ground, leaving only dense, layer upon layer craters and rubble all over the ground, and the fires caused by a large number of incendiary bombs and petrol bombs brought terrible damage As a result, wherever the flame frenzy went, everything was burned to ashes.

The coalition pilots in the sky could not see the "horrific" scenes on the ground: because the Japanese, especially the Japanese civilians, were not psychologically prepared for this strategic bombing (the Japanese military government has been conducting false propaganda, which led to The Japanese civilians seriously underestimated the extent of the deterioration of the war situation), and suddenly received such a powerful air attack that the casualties were extremely heavy. Some of the Japanese civilians in the area were bombed to pieces, their bones were smashed into ashes, and some were blown to pieces, blood pouring out like a fountain, and fell to the ground screaming and wailing. The Japanese civilians in the building houses could not avoid the fate of death either. Some were blown into powder together with the building in the big explosion, some were crushed to death by the collapsed building and buried alive. They were shocked to death by the blast wave or were thrown into the sky like a leaf and finally fell to their death. More often, they died from the tornado-like explosion fragments in the explosion wave. Building debris such as bricks and tiles almost killed those who touched them. They were smashed to pieces and even torn apart... Some Japanese civilians who reacted slumped on the ground with weak legs, and some screamed and wailed beside their dead relatives. Most of them are running around like crazy, but more bombs are still falling on the head, because the population of the Kanto area is too dense, and the bombs of the coalition bomber fleet are almost full of bombs. After falling, each bomb not only Blow up an entire city, and at the same time blow up blood and blood all over the place. Compared with conventional bombs, incendiary bombs and gasoline bombs are more lethal. After they fall, they immediately burn into a raging fire, and countless Japanese civilians are too late. The reaction was engulfed by the roaring fire dragon in the blink of an eye, and it was burned alive into dead wood and coke. After the explosion of the incendiary bomb and the petrol bomb, it not only exploded a large area of ​​fire, but also exploded a large area of ​​​​fire rain. Every drop of fire The rain was a drop of burning white phosphorus or napalm, which splashed on the Japanese civilians and burned them to the bone, turning pieces of Japanese civilians into human-shaped candles howling and rolling everywhere. The Japanese civilians fleeing from each other trampled on each other, causing countless casualties. The heat wave of the fire roasted a large number of Japanese civilians to death, and the oxygen caused by the raging fire was exhausted, causing more Japanese civilians to be suffocated to death.

Looking down from a high altitude, thick smoke billows and flames sparkle on Japan's "Holy Land", and the sounds of explosions, collapses, screams, cries, cries for help, and the heart-piercing screams of fire trucks are mixed into the sky .

As the first bombing target, the whole city of Tokyo was full of flames, and the black smoke that covered the sky made the whole city dark. Thousands of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns deployed by the Japanese army in Tokyo were desperately fighting against the dense smoke. strafed the sky, but the results were so weak that they could be ignored.

Tens of thousands of tons of incendiary bombs caused an unprecedented fire in Tokyo, which burned for a day and a night. Although Japanese soldiers and civilians in the Tokyo area were dispatched to put out the fire, the remaining fire still made Tokyo a "city that never sleeps" that night, and the sun rose again the next morning. At the beginning, Tokyo was still covered by a thick black smoke, and the sunlight could not penetrate through this thick smoke screen. The Tokyo Diet Building, Tokyo City Government, Japanese Army Ministry, Japanese Navy Ministry, Meiji Shrine Key institutions and many places of interest in Tokyo, such as Hama Rikyu, Ueno Park, Yoyogi Park, and Sensoji Temple, were all burned to the ground under the "key care" of the Allied strategic bombers. Multiple bombs.

After the bombing ended, the city of Tokyo was full of collapsed and burning houses and scorched earth, and the charred and blasted dead bodies were interspersed everywhere; on the streets and alleys, countless citizens rushed out of the city with their old and young. , Exposing bones and guts everywhere, and mourning everywhere.

Japan is a very "burning" country. First, the country is rich in forest resources, with a forest coverage rate as high as 67%. Second, there are many earthquakes in the country. Injury, local materials are widely used, and wood is used to build houses, making most of the country's urban buildings use wood as raw materials.

The ground is full of wood, and it is natural to let it out of control when it is set on fire.

In addition to using a large number of incendiary bombs and gasoline bombs to burn the Kanto area into the largest fire site in the world, the strategic bombers of the coalition also "by the way" threw thousands of tons of incendiary bombs and gasoline bombs into the Hida Mountains near the Kanto area. , the forests of the Echigo Mountains, and the vast rural fields on the outskirts of Tokyo's urban areas, suddenly formed the trend of "a single spark can start a prairie fire". Like a monstrous sea of ​​flames.

Setting fire to mountain forests is nothing short of easy. The incendiary bomb carried by a bomber can cause a mountain fire enough to burn down a square kilometer of forest. The forest is inaccessible. Once a forest fire occurs, the Japanese authorities will simply Unable to take effective and timely fire-fighting measures, the out-of-control forest fires burned large swathes of mountains that were originally full of vitality and lush vegetation into scorched earth without a blade of grass.

The Chinese, German and American allied forces dropped more than 5000 tons of bombs on the Kanto area of ​​Japan, and more than 1 tons were targeted at the Tokyo area, of which more than 70% were incendiary bombs and napalm bombs, making this The unprecedented scale and intensity of the bombing and the damage caused by the fire to the Kanto area are rare in the world. According to incomplete statistics afterwards, more than 30 houses and buildings were burned and destroyed in the Tokyo area alone. , more than 40 military and civilian casualties, more than 150 million people were affected, the fire swept across an area of ​​more than 100 square kilometers, and more than 200 million people were left homeless. Tokyo was almost destroyed. As for the total loss of the entire Kanto region It is conservatively estimated that it is more than three times that of the Tokyo area. After the bombing ended, it took the Japanese government more than a month to clean up the dead bodies, and a large number of dead bodies had rotted and maggoted.

As for the loss of the coalition forces, it was very slight, with only more than 300 strategic bombers damaged.

The psychological shock brought by the bombing of the Kanto to the Japanese military and civilians is undoubtedly unprecedented, but this is only the beginning of China's complete destruction of Japan and its comprehensive revenge against Japan.

Chapter 785

At the end of October, the German-Italian combined fleet (a large part of the capital ships in the German fleet belonged to the former French Navy) and the US Navy’s Pacific Fleet arrived in East Asian waters at the same time to assist the Chinese army in fighting against Japan.

Under the cover of thousands of Chinese Air Force aircraft, the German High Seas Fleet crossed the Strait of Malacca and entered the South China Sea. It detoured a large semicircle in the western Pacific Ocean in the east, and finally entered the South China Sea through the Bashi Channel between Taiwan and the Philippine Islands, and completed the "Four-National Fleet General Assembly Division" with the German and Italian combined fleets.

集结在中国南海的“中美德意四国海军联合舰队”堪称这个星球上此时最强大的海上作战力量，这支四国联合舰队包括10艘航空母舰（4艘属于中国海军、4艘属于美军，1艘属于德军，1艘属于意军）、12艘战列舰和战列巡洋舰、20多艘重型巡洋舰、40多艘轻型巡洋舰、130多艘驱逐舰、200多艘运输舰和运输船、20多艘护航航母，至于其它中小型辅助舰艇船舶，更是超过1000艘，汇聚成了一支排山倒海的强大力量。

This four-nation joint fleet is under the command of the Chinese Navy General Command. The upcoming battle is to capture the Philippines, which is occupied by the Japanese army.

The fleet has completed a comprehensive assembly in the northern waters of the South China Sea. The Chinese Navy will replenish the fleet with fuel, fresh water, food, medicine and other materials. More than 180 elite Chinese troops are ready in southern Taiwan. The army first boarded the transport ships in the fleet, and then rushed to Luzon Island in the northern Philippines.

The waters in the northern part of the South China Sea were suddenly turbulent, with warships on the sea and fighter planes in the sky.

The capture of the Philippines seems to be an unnecessary leisure move when Japan has already become a fish on the chopping board of the Chinese, German and American coalition forces. In fact, this move is very necessary.

Jiang Weiguo launched the Philippine war after careful consideration. He has two reasons. First, the Philippines was a colony of the United States before the war. The United States returned to the Philippines after the war. It is also China's sphere of influence, but there is still considerable opposition in the US military and political circles (Roosevelt agreed to "give up" the Philippines to China, one is because of Jiang Weiguo's various clever methods, and the other is that the United States has played a major role in this world war. It has also greatly expanded its territory. Before the war, the United States did not have many overseas colonies. The largest one was the Philippines, as well as Cuba and Panama. At this time, the United States had annexed Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc. that belonged to the United Kingdom. The vast territory, under such circumstances, it is nothing for the United States to lose the Philippines), in order to prevent long nights and more troubles, Jiang Weiguo must take advantage of the war to firmly grab the Philippines, so that it is safe; Second, almost all of Japan's resources come from abroad. China has completely cut off the supply of resources to Japan. The resources Japan can get mainly come from the Philippines, Indonesia and other places. Although the coalition forces have launched a mine blockade and submarine strangulation against Japan, But Japan can still get some resources from the Philippines, Indonesia and other places. The Japanese ships transporting the resources circled a large semicircle in the Western Pacific Ocean, avoiding Taiwan, and finally arrived at the coastal ports in the eastern part of Japan. China's overseas resources are less than 5% of what it got in the heyday, that is, during the period of Sino-Japanese cooperation, but since Jiang Weiguo wants to completely trap Japan, he must completely reduce this number to 0. Then, the Nanjing Army captured the Philippines and took the bottom of Japan's salaries. Inevitable.

Undoubtedly, this battle is another one of overkill.

There were two coalition ground forces landing in the Philippines, one was the Nanjing Army, with a total of more than 20 troops, and the other was the U.S. Army, but their numbers were small. There was only one Marine Corps and one Army Infantry Corps, totaling more than [-] troops.

There are more than [-] U.S. troops, and the purpose of participating in this battle is obviously not to fight, but to let the Roosevelt administration "have an account" to the American people.

Although the Roosevelt administration had already ceded the Philippines to China, the U.S. military still had to participate in the war to "liberate the Philippines." The Chinese army liberated the Philippines together."

MacArthur was very dissatisfied with this. When he was kicked out of the Philippines and fled to Australia, he once proudly declared "I will come back." The whole world knew his "famous saying", but unexpectedly, his own government The Philippines has been ceded to China.

If the Chinese army "liberates" the Philippines from the Japanese army in the end, wouldn't he slap himself in the face for his big words?But no matter how MacArthur protested, or even threatened to resign, he could not change the decision of the US government. After all, soldiers must obey politicians.

It was also with this in mind that Roosevelt asked MacArthur to follow the Chinese army with two regiments to "liberate" the Philippines.

MacArthur's next thing to do is to take thousands of people to hitch a ride to the Philippines among the waves of the Chinese army's 20-strong army, say loudly on the beach, "Philippines, I'm back", and then Back on the warship, I watched the Chinese army take down the Philippines and the Philippines finally fell into the hands of China with extreme depression.

Because of Jiang Weiguo, MacArthur, who was supposed to be majestic and powerful on the Philippine battlefield, was reduced to a "soy sauce" role.

For the coalition forces, the Philippine war actually had a third purpose: to lure out the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy and wipe them out.

Although the strength of the Japanese navy at this time is less than a fraction of its heyday, it is still a force that should not be underestimated. Without a large-scale battle, even if the Nanjing Army landed in Hokkaido, the United Fleet was basically indifferent. First, the United Fleet was seriously injured, and it took time to repair the injured warships and build new warships. Second, Hokkaido was close to Sakhalin Island. There are tens of thousands of Chinese Air Force aircraft stationed on Page Island. If the United Fleet were to go to the Hokkaido battlefield to participate in the war, it would be no different from a live target for the Chinese Air Force. However, when the coalition forces attacked the Philippines, the United Fleet finally could not sit still. Shintaro Shimada said: "...We know very well that the United Fleet going to the Philippines to fight the Allied Forces is a disaster, a narrow escape, or even no return. However, if we do not attack, we will definitely lose the Philippines, the mainland of the empire, the Philippines, and Indonesia. The sea passages in other places will be cut off, and Japan will become a completely isolated island. There will be no local resources, and no resources from overseas occupied areas. It will undoubtedly die or even collapse without fighting. Even if it is safe and sound in Japan's territorial waters, what's the point? Without fuel supply, it's just a pile of scrap iron, and it will suffer in vain from the indiscriminate bombing of the coalition bombers, and it will be destroyed sooner or later. Fight hard, even if it is doomed to fail, it is better for the United Fleet to sink into the sea than to be scrapped and wait to die at home. On the other hand, doing so by the United Fleet can also prove the loyalty of the Imperial Navy. The Imperial Navy has really tried its best for the survival of the Empire. !"

What Shimoda Shigetaro and other senior Japanese navy officials know is not only this, but also one more point: if the United Fleet does not launch, the Philippines will undoubtedly be lost; if the United Fleet is dispatched, the Philippines will still be lost. Undoubtedly, there may still be a glimmer of life if you fight hard, although this "glitch of hope" is so small that it can be ignored.

On November 11, the four-nation coalition launched the Philippine War;

On November 11, the combined fleet of the four navies and the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy broke out in the Bashi Channel between Taiwan Island and Luzon Island.

In terms of the total tonnage of the warships involved in the war, the Battle of the Bashi Strait can be regarded as the largest naval battle in human history. The last aircraft carrier battle of World War II.

After four days and four nights of iron and blood fighting, the war ended, and there was no suspense in the result: the joint fleet of the four navies almost wiped out the combined fleet of the Japanese army after paying a certain price, and the combined fleet of the Japanese army was wiped out. There are still some small and medium-sized ships left, but they are no longer a strategic force.

The disastrous defeat at the Great Battle of the Bashi Strait brought Japan's doomsday forward. At the same time, the Chinese, German, and American coalition forces with the Chinese army as the main force continued to calmly tighten the noose around the neck of the Japanese Empire: land attack, strategic bombing , mine blockade, unlimited submarine warfare... the multi-pronged approach made the little remaining vitality of the Japanese Empire drain day and night.
