20_20434The fire, which was not finally extinguished until the evening of the 9th, swept through the entire Bunkyo and Taito wards, and burned the two parts of Tokyo to the ground. , the latest chapter of the visit wèn:. Tokyo Imperial University, which was the core of the bombing target, was completely wiped off the ground. All the teachers and students in the school, a large number of books and teaching materials stored in the school, and the top scientific research equipment in Japan were all burned.

Japan's first cyclotron, developed by Japan's most advanced nuclear physicist, Yoshio Nishina, is housed on the campus of Tokyo Imperial University, along with the developer at the Tokyo Institute of Physics and Chemistry, who lived on the campus of Tokyo Imperial University that night. His most famous student, Professor Shinichiro Asunaga, who was later known as the founder of Japan's radar industry, was busy developing radar day and day, and radar data obtained from Germany were also wiped out.

This bombing was undoubtedly a big disaster for the Japanese. Not only the 50,000 or 60,000 ordinary people who died in the bombing fire, but also the Tokyo Imperial University, which had stockpiled the most cutting-edge scientific research equipment in Japan, was razed to the ground, and hundreds of top Japanese scientists and a large number of students in the Imperial University.

At three o'clock in the morning, the vast majority of people were asleep. And the Japanese mainland, which has not yet fully transitioned to a wartime state, does not even have enough air-raid "shelters". Although the people have conducted air defense drills many times, the drills and actual combat are two different things. Coupled with the sudden attack, the air defense alarm was not sounded throughout the city until the bombing was completed.

Since the bomb was located in the most densely populated area of the entire city of Tokyo, it is not surprising that such casualties were caused. This is still the insufficient tonnage of the anti-United Nations bombs, only more than 70 tons of yield, and the area of destruction is not so large. If a large bomber with a larger bomb load had been replaced, I am afraid that Tokyo's losses would have been much greater.

The huge losses in this bombing made everyone from the emperor of Japan to ordinary Tokyo residents feel extremely shocked. The charred corpses recovered from the core area of the bombardment were piled up. Several rivers flowing through the bombed area were also filled with people who tried to jump into the river to escape the fire, but suffocated to death because the air was absorbed by the fire.

The local inhabitants of Japan, who have always lived in peace, have finally grasped the horrors of war. For the first time in the past few years, what happened to the peaceful residents of China's rear befell them. The Japanese who opened Pandora's box finally tasted the bitter fruit of their own brewing.

Although on the radio, the Japanese gave the strongest condemnation to the bombing of Tokyo by the Anti-Japanese Union. Accuse the Chinese of being executioners and maliciously massacring peaceful residents. It's just that the public opinion set off by the Japanese shouting to catch the thief has been unanimously ridiculed by the whole world.

What are you kidding, are there still a few cities in China that have been bombed by you? Are the Chinese killed and injured under the various bombs dropped on Japanese planes still in the minority? After the September 18 Incident, Jinzhou, the Japanese were the first to record indiscriminate bombing of the city.

After the Battle of Shanghai began on August 13, the Japanese army carried out indiscriminate bombing of major cities in China, and then carried out fearless bombing of Chongqing and the rear areas. Now that he has been bombed, he blames others for bombing peaceful residents, what kind of theory is this? I'm afraid that people all over the world can only do it in Japan.

Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, Chongqing, Chengdu, Xi'an, Lanzhou, Yan'an, and even Xining and Ankang, which of those cities in the rear did not fall on the bombs of the Japanese? Once he was bombed, he hurriedly blamed others with a white face, a typical practice of only allowing state officials to set fires and not allowing people to light lamps. Shameless, it is appropriate to describe the Japanese.

Facing the burned Tokyo Imperial University in ruins, Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, who came to inspect, was silent for a long time. After returning to the Prime Minister's Office, the first order was to order the Kwantung Army, the *** Dispatch Army, and the North Korean Army to concentrate all their planes to retaliate against the United Nations. However, most of the Japanese army and navy aviation units have already moved south, and the combat units that can be 'pumped' out are quite limited.

The entire Chinese Dispatch Army has less than 100 combat aircraft at present. The bombing of Chongqing's rear also began to gradually reduce its intensity. In particular, most of the bomber groups have been 'pumped' to fight in Southeast Asia at present, so where are they going to get the planes required by the base camp now? The Kwantung Army will fight this year, and the aviation regiment will suffer heavy losses. Of the bombers of the Chinese army, only some light aircraft remained.

In order to give the base camp an 'explanation', under the prime minister's repeated strict orders, the Kwantung Army and the *** Dispatch Army 'pumped' all the bomber groups. Including the two bomber squadrons that the Navy 'pumped', more than 70 bombers were concentrated. Mainly light bombers, which carried out several bombings against the base areas of the coalition in order to 'deliver' to the base camp.

It was only the retaliatory actions of the Japanese army, which suffered heavy losses under the interception of the anti-coalition aviation that had been prepared for a long time. After losing half of the planes, the Japanese had to abandon this kind of retaliation, which did not outweigh the losses, and waited for the end of the war in Southeast Asia to make arrangements.

While anxious to retaliate, the Japanese army headquarters also severely held accountable for the bombing of Tokyo under the personal questioning of the emperor. Officers of all ranks, who were in charge of the air defense of the Japanese mainland, were punished with the severest punishment. The head of Tokyo's air defense and all the captains of the East Coast Alert ships, including the unfortunate officers above the rank of captain of the ground anti-aircraft artillery squadron around Tokyo, were ordered to apologize. As for the generals who were in charge of the defense of the homeland, all of them were ordered to retire from active duty at the first time.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Yang Zhen, even if the Japanese army base camp kills all the local officers in charge of defense, Yang Zhen can only hide to the side and steal fun, and there will be no objections. However, apart from instructing the air force to prepare for retaliation by the Japanese army, he did not have much "spirit" to care about what the Japanese thought.

Yang Zhen, who was originally going to personally welcome the bomber group back, was still unable to wait for the return of the group in the end. Shortly after the bomber group sorted, he flew back to Harbin overnight after receiving a telegram from headquarters. There is no way, the two giants of the United States and Britain in the Anti-Japanese Union Military Observation Mission are waiting for him to go back at the headquarters.

These two guys ran to the headquarters of the Anti-Japanese Federation in the middle of the night, clamoring to see Yang Zhen. Although Guo Bingxun, who was disturbed and unable to work, has repeatedly explained that Yang Zhen sent troops to inspect. But these two squatted at the headquarters and didn't leave, and they didn't follow their requests and had to see people tonight.

In desperation, Guo Bingxun, who knew that the attacking bomber group had already set off, could only send a telegram to the Dongning base, urging Yang Zhen to come back quickly. In addition, Guo Bingxun looked at the appearance of the two, and it didn't seem like he was looking for trouble, and he ran around in the middle of the night to mess around, and he thought that there must be some emergency. Guo Bingxun, who was worried about the 'fault' of the agreement, made up his mind to get Yang Zhen back.

In fact, Yang Zhen, who knew what these two people were going to do at the headquarters in the middle of the night, didn't want to go back at this time, he didn't want to see these two at this time. But considering the delicate moment at the moment, Yang Zhen still decided to talk to these two people, and also urged them to agree on the materials and equipment.

It's just that before Yang Zhen, who returned to the headquarters, sat down to drink water, the two of them quarreled with Yang Zhen's guards outside the 'door' without manner. In desperation, Yang Zhen had no choice but to let them in. Although he knew the intention of these two, the pale faces of these two when they met also startled Yang Zhen.

Whether it was Pearson or Rose, the faces of both of them were extremely pale. Originally, they were Caucasians, and their skin was whiter than that of East Asians, and their faces were even paler at this time, and there was no trace of blood. If it weren't for the fact that they could still walk, they would almost make one think that they had encountered two dead people.

Unlike before, when they were always dressed in suits and leather shoes, when they came here today, both of them were dressed in 'straight' military uniforms. The standard of military rank on the shoulders is shining, and the medals on the 'chest' are wiped quite clean. However, although the military uniform on his body is accompanied by the pale face 'color', some of them are really incongruous.

At this moment, although the military uniforms on the two of them are 'straight', they really can't see the demeanor that soldiers, especially officers, should have. In particular, the Brigadier General Ross, the arrogance of a British Empire general, has long since disappeared. It's just that considering the reason why these two came, Yang Zhen was very kind and didn't joke about these two.

Compared with Ross, who was more stable, Pearson, who was more familiar with Yang Zhen, opened his mouth directly when he saw Yang Zhen and said: "Yang, I came today to inform you that in the early morning of the 7th Hawaii time, the Japanese Navy Air Fleet launched a surprise attack on the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor. ”

"And this morning, the Japanese army launched a full-scale attack on the Philippines at the same time, and the Japanese army and naval air forces have begun to bomb Philippine cities. In other words, the Japanese Empire and the United States of America have now entered a state of all-out war. Yang, we need your help at this time. ”

As soon as Pearson's words fell, Ross continued: "Yang, just today the Japanese have launched an all-out attack on the Malayan Peninsula. And now the Japanese are concentrating a division and launching a fierce attack on Hong Kong. The British Empire, as well as all the members of the British Commonwealth, are now officially at war with the Japanese Empire. ”

"Colonel Pearson and I have come to ask when you will be able to launch an attack on the Japanese army, as agreed between us, so as to attract Japanese troops in China who cannot go south to reinforce the Southeast Asian theater. Alleviate the pressure on the battlefield of the British Empire and the United States of America. ”

"You know, the British Empire is dealing with the war situation in the Middle East with all its might. The number of troops to be deployed in the Southeast Asian theater will be quite limited. And the United States of America, which has not yet begun to mobilize. The forces of our two countries in Southeast Asia are simply not able to resist the all-out invasion of the Japanese army at present. You know, the Japanese army threw 100,000 troops with a large number of tanks and bombers in the Malayan front alone. ”

"Now both the British Empire and the United States of America urgently need your Chinese side to provide corresponding strategic support. Yang, we have provided you with a large number of tanks as agreed, under great pressure on our own. I hope that you will also be able to send troops to fight us as much as you can, in accordance with the agreement between us. ”

Looking at the two in front of him, Yang Zhen understood the reason why these two were in a hurry to see him, it turned out that these two were coming to the 'door' to urge him to send troops. After the incident broke out, Yang Zhen also had a certain amount of mental preparation for the reaction of these two people. But I didn't expect that these two were not low-level, but they were so panicked when they encountered an incident.

As for the Japanese army's frontal investment of more than 100,000 troops in the Malayan battlefield, I'm afraid this guy blew it out himself. Judging from the radio communication between the Japanese Southern Army and the base camp intercepted by the Anti-Japanese Union, the Japanese army's deployment of troops in the entire Southeast Asia before the war was not so large. The strength used for Malaya was only three divisions.

It is true that there are a large number of tanks, and it is not false that there is a large number of aviation units to cooperate. The Japanese army on the Malayan Peninsula did put more than a hundred tanks into it. But with just more than 100 light tanks, can it be called a large number of tanks? Your British army has deployed so many two-pounder anti-tank guns in Malaya, is it all a decoration? ――2aahhh+29300763――>。
