On July 28, the Japanese government refused to accept the Potsdam Proclamation.
"General, the Japanese are really stubborn, knowing that they have been defeated, but they still do not surrender" "The resistance of the Japanese caused a large number of casualties to our fighters" "Don't worry, the top will think about it."
In order to reduce Allied casualties, speed up the course of the war, and force Japan to surrender, US President Harry S.
Truman decided to drop atomic bombs on six cities, including Tokyo, Kyoto, Niigata, Kokura, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki.
Kyoto, the ancient cultural capital of Japan, was excluded due to political necessity for Japanese rule after the war; Tokyo had been bombed many times before, and it was not easy to assess the effectiveness of the atomic bomb; Niigata is an important production base for aluminum products in Japan, but it is too far away; Kokura is an important industrial base in Kyushu, Japan, but the weather conditions on the day of the throwing were not good; After consideration, the US military selected Hiroshima and Nagasaki as targets for a nuclear attack.
Hiroshima is the capital of Japan's army, the headquarters of the Second General Army for the defense of Japan's homeland, and all Japanese troops bound for China, Korea, Southeast Asia, and the Nanyang Islands set sail from Hiroshima.

Forty-five seconds later, the atomic bomb exploded 600 meters above the ground and 600 meters above the island hospital, 100 meters west of the Aisheng Bridge in Hiroshima, Japan.
In an instant, a huge mushroom-shaped cloud of smoke suddenly rolled up in the city, and then hundreds of pillars of fire were erected, and the city of Hiroshima was immediately reduced to a sea of scorching fire.
"Nani" "He Died for It" Everything became silent.
On August 9, the United States dropped a second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan.
