Chapter 1153: Tokyo Nuclear Explosion

"Boom!" At 0:38 a.m. on August 15, 46, a devastating explosion sounded in Tokyo, Japan.

The huge explosion and shaking woke up the entire Japanese mainland from their sleep. In particular, the people on the main island of Japan screamed that the earthquake was coming, and they fled to the open space.

Then they saw that the direction of Tokyo was as bright as day, and closer to Tokyo even saw a trace of a mushroom cloud that had not yet dissipated.

Although it was already late at night, there were still some people who had not slept at this time, especially the soldiers on guard in Tokyo and the surrounding area.

At this time, the three barracks in the United States were on alert, and their commanders knew that there was a silver platter plan to be carried out in the barracks near the airport, and they were always keeping an eye on the movements there. If it weren't for the fear that the Huaxia people would find out, I'm afraid they would have to directly join forces and gather all over there.

But when they saw the huge exploding mushroom cloud rising from the direction of Haneda Airport, they couldn't help but secretly feel lucky in their hearts, if they didn't all concentrate there, otherwise they would really be wiped out.

Although they didn't understand why such a huge mushroom cloud had emerged, the commanders could see the power of the huge explosion. They no longer had hope in their hearts for the barracks at Haneda Airport.

"Ahh My eyes! Bush at the Yokota base looked at the soldiers rolling on the ground and was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

The airfield at the Yokota base was originally a military airfield for the Japanese, and the Americans were stationed in three places nearby: Haneda Civil Airport, the port area, and the Yokota Airport to facilitate supplies.

The reason why I didn't garrison troops in other places was also to avoid irritating the Chinese people. Even the troops at the junction of forces have withdrawn.

It is useless to send troops, it is better to gain a foothold in Tokyo in the form of disaster relief and pacification. Even when the Chinese people turn their faces, it is convenient to evacuate.

Also worried about the concerns of the Chinese people, this operation did not choose Yokota Airport, which has the most military fighters, but Haneda, the civilian airport in the past.

The Yokota base is always on alert, and if necessary, it can take to the air at any time to cover the bombing mission of the prototype B-47 bomber. But when the strong white flash erupted in the direction of Haneda, many people who had been looking at the Yokota military camp in the night immediately covered their eyes and cried out in pain.

Under the control of the lights, it was still pitch black, and suddenly there was a light that was more dazzling than the sun, and the huge contrast suddenly blinded many people's eyes.

But many people, including Major Bush of HNA, don't know what's going on.

They didn't see the glowing hemispherical fireball in the first place. I only saw a huge mushroom-shaped cloud of smoke that had rushed thousands of meters into the air. and the hundreds of pillars of fire that rose up in the air.

The ball of light, which shone hundreds of kilometers long, lasted for a short time, and it only expanded to a few hundred meters before it seemed to collapse, followed by a shock wave of more than 40 kilometers per second that was far faster than sonic speed.

The Japanese refugee camps around Haneda Airport were the first to be hit.

The Yokota base is stationed as a fighter plane, while the Haneda airfield is still under the banner of civilian use. Relief supplies flown in from the United States are concentrated there. As a result, there is a high concentration of Japanese refugee camps here.

It only takes a few seconds. The vast majority of the nearly 100,000 Japanese refugees within a 450-meter radius of the blast center were immediately drained of all life by the shock wave.

Mosquitoes, flies, and stray cats and dogs also burst to death.

And within 3 kilometers, more than half of his more than 100,000 refugees died directly in a short period of time.

The shock wave continues to sweep. Although Tokyo is in ruins, a large number of wooden houses and tents erected on top of it have been destroyed within 2 kilometers of the center of the explosion. More than 3 km. The shock wave weakened slightly, but it still swept almost all the tents. Within 16 kilometers all the glass was shattered.

The hemispherical fireball collapsed, releasing the heat of more than 6,000 degrees.

The light radiated quickly, and all the wooden houses and tents within a radius of 3 kilometers were ignited, and the Japanese who had just woken up from their sleep and could not run out of their sleep were burned to death by the fire before they could wake up from the huge earthquake of the shock wave.

And those Japanese who escaped still did not get rid of the entanglement of death, many died directly from the burns caused by light radiation, and those who survived were also severely burned.

Birds such as sparrows and crows, which were startled closer to the explosion site, were also ignited and turned into clusters of fire in the air.

Even outside the 4-kilometer radius, a large number of people were burned.

The ensuing early nuclear radiation made the explosion even more dead within a 3-kilometer radius.

Even tenacious creatures like rats and cockroaches are silent.

The fire continued to spread, and it seemed that most of Tokyo was once again caught in the same bombing fire that had been destroyed in ruins.

Both the US military garrison stationed in the port area and another concentration of refugee camps gathered around the port were caught in the fire.

Many of those who survived the first time cried and jumped into the water, but it wasn't long before they were slowly cooked by the warming waters of the harbor along with the slices of belly-flipping fish floating up.

From Ota Ward, the epicenter of the explosion, to nearby Minato Ward, and not far from Chuo-ku, Chiyoda, Shibuya, and Shinjuku, the hardest-hit areas have all been affected.

However, the Yokota base in Tama District did not suffer much damage due to its distance, but everyone did not know that an invisible killer was slowly destroying their vitality in every corner of their body.

In this era, nuclear radiation is a term that only a very small number of people know.

In the years that followed, many of those who survived the Tokyo disaster would suffer and even die, and even some radioactive items would bring disaster to others.

It was because of his escape that Major Bush once gave the medal he had kept to his son, who was born in July, to play with him, and as a result, his son's intelligence was greatly affected.

……

"Yay!" Truman, who had been paying attention here, immediately clenched his fists and burst into shouts when he heard the news of the nuclear bomb explosion.

But then, his excited expression quickly froze.

He finally realized that the time was wrong, and the word Tokyo, which he had not listened to in his excitement a moment ago, dizzled his mind again.

"Idiot! Bastard! Can anyone tell me what's going on? Truman turned all his excitement into rage.

The Americans' "BOY" finally succeeded in detonating, and the power of the explosion was in line with the Americans' speculation, and the shock wave from the explosion was even received by the American seismic testing agency.

Hearing the news of the smooth explosion and the amazing power, many Americans who knew about the atomic bomb breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, this is the first atomic bomb of the Americans, and it has not been tested in a previous life, so everyone is a little worried.

But they quickly tangled up and regretted that the time and place of this explosion did not fit the script of the Americans.

The early explosion of the nuclear bomb caused the disaster, not the Chinese mainland.

"What the hell is going on?" Truman continued to yell.

Many people's hearts have also been raised, could it be that this atomic bomb is unstable and will explode early?

In this case, it may be detonated for inexplicable reasons during production and testing. The thought of the power of the atomic bomb makes everyone's head dizzy.

"The cause of the early explosion must be found!" Truman, who had calmed down, immediately gave a tough order.

Regarding the unexpected premature explosion of the atomic bomb in Tokyo, Truman could only urgently convene everyone to discuss it.

"Although it didn't explode in Huaxia as we expected, after all, our baby exploded smoothly, and the explosion power was enough to shock everyone!" There was silence for a long time before Marshall spoke.

"You mean......" Truman already knew what he wanted to say, but asked knowingly.

"We only have such a super bomb for the time being, what else can we rely on except to use this opportunity to deter Huaxia?" Marshall smiled wryly, "At least take the opportunity to delay until our second superbomb is completed." ”

"But the explosion in Tokyo, we need an explanation!" Truman still pointed out the key point, anyway, Tokyo is still the territory of the Americans, and there is not only a brigade of American troops on it, but also nearly a million Japanese civilians. Although it is not known what the final casualties were, they were definitely indispensable.

Based on the layout of the camp and the power of the nuclear bomb, it is speculated that at least 300,000 people may die from the disaster, if not more, based on the information already received.

Such a big black cauldron made Truman hesitate to carry it all the time.

But Marshall's words still made him make up his mind, in the face of the powerful offensive of the Chinese army, the Americans could only rely on the deterrence of nuclear bombs.

"Reason? We can say that we were going to bomb the mainland of China, but there was a mistake in the map or a mistake in the navigation, and it was bombed by mistake! Someone said.

Bombing by mistake is an American tradition, and this is a very classic excuse.

"That will make a lot of people doubt the capabilities of our army!" Admiral Kim replied unceremoniously.

"It can be said that we were intercepted by Huaxia missiles in the sky over Tokyo!" Someone else suggested.

Although this explosion was in many ways different from the ground explosion and the air explosion, who knows so clearly.

"No, it's easy for others to misunderstand by saying this, our attack can't break through Huaxia's defense, and the threat to Huaxia is greatly reduced!" Marshall shook his head and vetoed.

A group of high-level US officials thought about it for a long time, but they did not have a suitable explanation.

And by this time, the whole world had already been shocked by the explosion of the first atomic bomb. (To be continued......)
