The development of events far exceeded the predictions of the Eighth Route Army in Hebei and Li Yunlong.

Originally, they had planned to let the Liangshan Special Forces sneak in to cause some damage to the Japanese, but they didn't expect that the city had already become a mess.

In just three days, hundreds of thousands of people in the city had gone from attacking and killing puppet troops to openly trying the Japanese soldiers.

Originally, most of the Japanese were stationed in military camps, and a small number were stationed at some key points such as city gates, but this also meant that the Japanese stationed outside the military camps were alone.

After defeating and eliminating the puppet troops, the people already had a considerable number of weapons in their hands. Even if they had never touched a gun in the chaotic times, they had seen others fight, so picking up weapons was not a problem at all.

Now it was the turn of the lone Japanese soldiers to be scared.

Now this city has become a complete purgatory for the Japanese soldiers. As long as a Japanese soldier is left alone, there is no doubt that he will never appear again.

The lone Japanese soldiers will be ignited by the people's anger, ignited in the physical sense.

This level of cruelty is nothing compared to the planned, step-by-step, and large-scale massacre of Chinese people by the Japanese devils.

These things are just to collect some interest from the Japanese, the real principal is still to come.

Nishijuozo and a group of people hid in the military camp, not daring to even fart.

Now, these more than 10,000 remaining Japanese soldiers were absolutely elite before, but now they dare not fire a single shot at the civilians.

Because once a large-scale bloodshed occurs, the Eighth Route Army outside the city will immediately rush in and save the people.

But if they don't fight back, then the people are constantly squeezing the locust army's living space, and they will die too. It's just a matter of dying early or late.

Nishijuozo and the more than 10,000 remaining Japanese soldiers realized for the first time that the people who had previously succumbed to their bayonets for various reasons were also angry, and this anger was probably the most violent force in the world.

It also realized how ridiculous all the preparations it had made before were.

After the comrades in Hebei Province understood the situation in the city, they immediately reported to Commander Long and, without any hesitation, led their troops into the city.

At this moment, the city is like a dilapidated house with leaks on all sides, and the Japanese devils inside can only wait for death.

One day later, Peking was recovered!

......

The news of the recovery of Peking spread throughout the country.

When the news reached Base 221, everyone's reaction was very calm, because in their expectations, this was already in their pockets, it was just a matter of time.

Something even more important is happening quietly at Base 221 today.

Yu Ye, Political Commissar Rong, Zhao Gang, Zhao Zhongyao and a few others started this confidential meeting in the most core and confidential conference room of the 221 base.

No one brought paper or pen to the meeting, only a pair of eyes, a pair of ears and a mouth.

"Everyone, our Miss Qiu has finished washing and is just waiting to braid her hair and get married."

Yu Ye tried to speak in a calm tone.

Everyone understood that this was a code word, meaning that everything was ready, just waiting for the order.

Everyone's face lit up with joy, but they immediately tried hard to conceal it.

"What is our current production capacity? If the experiment is accurate, how many can we produce in a short period of time?"

Political Commissar Rong asked a very crucial question.

"Currently, our nuclear fission material is plutonium 239. After working overtime for so long, our stockpile has reached about 300 kilograms.

If we calculate based on the material consumption of about 6 kilograms for a plutonium bomb, we can produce about 50 atomic bombs.

An atomic bomb of this size generally has a yield of 2 to 3 tons of TNT."

Yu Ye explained.

When Political Commissar Rong and Zhao Gang heard this, they were also shocked. They knew that the atomic bomb was very powerful, but they did not expect that Yu Ye had quietly accumulated so many of them.

Before anyone else could speak, Yu Ye added, "If one atomic bomb destroys one of the enemy's core cities, then about 50 can be destroyed.

However, the Japanese have more than 90 core industrial cities, so our production capacity is still insufficient.

Furthermore, some of the Japanese cities are quite large, such as Tokyo, and one atomic bomb of this size is far from enough. At least eight or ten are needed.

So, we have to keep saving.”

After hearing this, Zhao Zhongyao looked at Yu Ye strangely. He didn't know why Yu Ye didn't mention the hydrogen bomb. After all, the upper limit of the atomic bomb's equivalent is about 50 tons of TNT, but if it is replaced by thermonuclear fusion, tens of millions of tons will not be enough. In principle, there can be no upper limit.

"So, Commissar, I'd like to confirm, should we launch one now or wait until production capacity is sufficient before conducting a test?"

"If we don't test it now, are there any technical problems?"

Political Commissar Rong thought for a while and finally asked the question in his mind.

"Technically, there shouldn't be any problems. Our designs are very sophisticated. If you're worried, you can put one in there and take a look."

Yu Ye said.

"Comrade Yu Ye, this isn't just for show. It's a secret weapon for the Japanese. It must explode. We've already invested too many resources in this secret weapon.

If we fail to blow it up, we will be responsible to the people and to history."

Political Commissar Rong said seriously.

"Commissar, I know. I don't think anyone here wants this weapon to explode on the enemy's head more than I do. If the organization trusts my professionalism, then let's not waste it and throw it all on the enemy's head and let it explode."

Yu Ye looked into Political Commissar Rong's eyes and said seriously.

"Okay, then I'll report your plan to the Northwest Headquarters and let the organization make the decision."

Political Commissar Rong rarely saw Yu Ye so serious, so he spoke seriously.

"Political Commissar Rong..."

Yu Ye seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

"Old Yu, tell me, is there anything we can't talk about? Or is there anything you can't tell the organization? Why are you hesitating so much?"

Political Commissar Rong found Yu Ye's behavior a little strange.

"Let me be frank. I'm worried this new weapon is a bit too powerful and could cause additional casualties. Before the launch, I want to announce to the world that I've researched this weapon."

Even if there is any accountability or blame after the war, it will all be directed at me alone."

Yu Ye gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.

"Old Yu, you're worrying too much. The Japanese are militaristic all over the country now. From the perspective of us combatants, it's unlikely that there will be any additional casualties or accidental killings.

Besides, the launch of new weapons must be approved by the headquarters. It is a collective decision. How can you bear the blame?

And, I personally don’t think it’s a stigma.”

Political Commissar Rong put away his serious expression and said with a smile.

"Laorong, I... I don't want to seek this empty reputation. If possible, please report my request to the organization.

Even so, I’ll say this in advance.”

"it is good."

Sensing the seriousness in Yu Ye's words, Political Commissar Rong nodded.
