Chapter 728: The Nuclear Explosion Resumes (Part II)


Chapter 85: Another nuclear explosion However, no matter how difficult the situation was, as President of the United States, Truman still had to find a way to come up with a response plan. yznn Seeing that the Pacific Fleet, which had just suffered a natural disaster, seemed to be completely out of power, and the country's millions of army troops were unable to cross the vast ocean to find the Japanese to fight for their lives.

In order to deal with the public and maintain morale, it seemed that they could only use It's time to make some big news to divert the focus.

As a result, President Truman's mind changed and he naturally immediately thought of the nuclear weapon that held the hope of mankind in the United States.

"Well, all in all, the Pacific Fleet cannot launch a counterattack for the time being before it recovers its basic strength.

In this case, the fall of the entire Polynesian Islands seems inevitable.

But even so, we cannot lose the ability to defeat the enemy.

Courage, something must be done to cheer up the people," President Truman said, "How are we preparing for our next atomic bomb offensive?"

"Well, currently, after this year of emergency production, we once again have nine completed atomic bombs, three of which are still undergoing final maintenance and testing in China, and the remaining six atomic bombs have been deployed on various fronts around the world. , can be put into actual combat at any time.”

The Secretary of the Navy, Admiral Ernest King, who had been sitting silently in the corner for a long time, stood up quickly after hearing this, took out a pamphlet from his pocket, flipped through it, and then replied with some hesitation, "Next, Should we follow the original plan and bombard various targets?"

"Of course," Truman asked a little strangely, "Did you encounter any difficulties or problems?"

"There is no problem with the remaining bombing targets.

However, it is a pity that on the battlefield of the Japanese archipelago, our army has basically lost air supremacy.

It is difficult to organize a large number of bomber formations to safely penetrate the defenses and carry atomic bombs to attack the enemy behind the front.

City."

General Ernest King said hesitantly, with an embarrassed expression on his face, "Although the boys on the front line have tried their best, the Japanese have too many planes.

It's hard to imagine where they came from.

It feels like getting so many fighter jets and bombers The total number of aircraft produced in history is not that many.

At present, there is basically no safe airport in the Japanese-occupied areas of our army, and air supremacy has completely fallen into the hands of the enemy.

Therefore, it is difficult for us to ensure the strategy of mounting atomic bombs.

The bomber successfully arrived at its intended target."

In fact, according to General Patton, the top commander on the Japanese front line, the Japanese aircraft are simply "as numerous as locusts" and "no matter how many anti-aircraft guns there are, they are useless.

We have to develop a super insecticide specifically designed to treat aircraft."

That's all."

Anyway, this guy seemed to be blown crazy.

According to the statistical account books of Japan's wartime headquarters, since the establishment of the "Light Red" new government, if you include stray flights, collisions and mechanical failures, the total number of losses of all Japanese military aircraft has reached an appalling 300.

There are even about 250,000 planes among them.

Due to improper storage, they were left in the wilderness to be exposed to the sun and rain.

They had to be scrapped before they even had a chance to fly to the sky.

Some civil servants in Japan's wartime base camp who were accustomed to calculating their budgets even pointed out with great joy and excitement that they were able to pay civil servants across the country just by selling scrap aluminum and steel collected from aircraft wrecks and tank wrecks.

At least three years' salary.

Relying on the yen money printing machine that is running like crazy and the black technology artifact vending machines that can explode unlimited amounts of fuel and explosive ammunition to explode planes and tanks without any capital, the Japanese army, which was originally short of supplies, has finally turned into a rich man.

The extravagance is nothing short of madness.

Unfortunately, the American pilots on the Japanese battlefield could only cry without tears when they had to fight against such a heroic opponent, and generally expressed that they were very heartbroken.

In short, facing the Japanese bomber formations, sometimes 20,000 sorties a day, sometimes 30,000 sorties a day, wave after wave, rain or shine, non-stop ultra-high-intensity air strikes from morning to night, even if the nerves of the American officers and soldiers are stronger than steel bars.

It's so big that it has to be worn down until it breaks.

Due to an overwhelming and desperate disadvantage in terms of numbers, even though the Japanese pilots were all rookies among rookies at the beginning, their combat skills were basically zero, and many of them could not even fly their planes back the same way they came.

However, U.S. military pilots are still unable to play the role of superman with "one horse capable of killing a thousand" for a long time.

Although they did produce several "thousands of aircraft" ace pilots on the Japanese battlefield, and they were greatly touted by American newspapers.

In the beginning, although their military strength was always at a disadvantage, with their rich experience, American pilots still hunted those clumsy and immature Japanese rookies in the sky as easily as hunting turkeys, often with great results and minimal losses.

At the same time, there was still enough power to launch a counterattack, bombing and destroying the Japanese frontline airfields.

However, because the Japanese have launched the desperate "unlimited aircraft, unlimited fuel, and unlimited ammunition" plug-in, as long as there is one healthy Japanese who is not dead, even if the American pilots can achieve a ten to one or even thirty to one exchange ratio, Nor can it reverse the increasingly disintegrating war situation.

As time went by, not only did the Japanese aircraft not decrease, but they fought more and more.

What's more terrible is that by paying tuition with their lives time and time again and learning air combat in air combat, those Japanese rookie pilots who were originally very immature, after fighting for a few months, , and began to gradually become difficult to deal with.

In this unfair arena, the Japanese have planes that can never be used up, and fuel and ammunition that can never be used up.

However, everything American pilots need has to be transported from the other side of the ocean thousands of miles away.

During the shipping period, it had to withstand the Japanese submarine force's sabotage battles.

When this endless air battle lasted until September, the U.S. air power on the front lines of the Japanese archipelago was exhausted.

More than 80,000 pilots alone died in the battle, and in the occupied areas There is no longer a usable front-line airport, and every runway has been bombed into craters.

Due to the shockingly tragic and devastating losses, the U.S.

Strategic Air Force and Army Flying Team have been forced to completely withdraw from the Japanese front line.

Only the U.S.

Naval Air Force still relies on a few modified aircraft carriers as mobile bases, constantly maneuvering along the Pacific coast of the Japanese archipelago, and continuing to deal with powerful enemies.

But even so, this kind of perseverance and refusal to escape from the battlefield only has the effect of spiritual stimulation.

Because the security over various ports and docks in the Japanese-occupied areas could not be guaranteed at all, hundreds of U.S. military transport ships and warships were blown up next to the docks, which not only destroyed a large amount of supplies, but also blocked the waterway, making it difficult for subsequent fleets to dock and Unloading The U.S.

Army on the frontline battlefield is also bombed every day, and when hiding in the trenches, it is always repeatedly smoked by various poisonous gases.

Ammunition supplies are gradually failing to keep up, and morale and combat effectiveness are plummeting like an avalanche.

All in all, when Japanese aircraft once again dominated the skies of their mother country, for the American expeditionary force who had come all the way, this invasion operation had completely lost any possibility of victory.

The only thing left was to sacrifice lives and blood.

Just delaying time.

Faced with such a desperate war situation, even if the top commander on the front line is a bellicose madman like General Patton, he has to make a subtle statement to the Pentagon: It's time to consider retreating However, the Pentagon cannot simply stop taking action from the Japanese archipelago.

Because war is a continuation of politics, political factors are always interfering in the process of the war, even forcing frontline generals to violate the principles of war.

Although the Japanese battlefield has become a meat grinder at this time, from the White House to Congress to the Pentagon, everyone Unable to withstand the political pressure of failing to land in Japan: in the eyes of the people, this was no different from failing in the war.

Moreover, even if the Japanese battlefield turns into a life-devouring meat grinder, the wealthy United States can still afford to grit its teeth.

During World War II, the United States had a full 200,000 aviation reservists and more than one million aviation enthusiasts.

And the ability to train 70,000 to 80,000 pilots every year.

If the Japanese army wants to exhaust the aviation power of the United States, it will have to fly 100,000 to 200,000 U.S. fighter planes every year.

Unfortunately, it seems that the Japanese who have opened the Golden Elephant Leg super cheat can really do this.

In any case, in the past few months, the Pentagon has tried its best to cover up the various disasters that occurred on the Japanese battlefield, and has continued to fabricate a large number of lies about annihilating the enemy to stabilize the hearts of the people in the country.

In fact, it cannot be completely regarded as a lie, because While the U.S. military on the frontline suffered heavy losses, they did achieve considerable results.

The number of enemy planes shot down every month must be calculated in units of "10,000".

Due to the excessive hype of the US military propaganda department, coupled with the good word games played in various battle reports and official documents, even President Truman did not notice much of the abnormality and did not know whether it was luck or misfortune.

For the US military, Compared with President Roosevelt, who was wily, well-connected, and had many party members, President Truman, who came to power in a hurry and has a shallow foundation, is really an easy target to fool.

However, there is a saying that paper cannot contain fire, war is not finance, and you cannot make falsehoods come true by bragging and lying.

As Navy Chief Admiral Ernest King first revealed the truth, Army Chief of Staff Marshall had no choice but to bite the bullet and report all the bad news that he had tried so hard to cover up.

"God, the situation on the Japanese front has deteriorated to such an extent that even General Patton has lost confidence."

After finally learning the true and unadulterated battle situation, President Truman couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, "In other words, our army really can no longer fight and can only abandon the existing occupied areas and withdraw from Japan.

This seems completely different from what I heard before."

"As much as I don't want to admit it, this is indeed the cruel reality we must face, Mr.

President."

Admiral Marshall had a tangled expression on his face, "The current Japanese battlefield has become the French Western Front of the last world war.

In order to support such a large-scale war consumption, the French and British only had to walk a few steps.

We can deliver ammunition and supplies into their trenches, but now our supply lines need to cross the entire Pacific, and they have to be intercepted by submarines and bombed by planes.

The logistics department is almost unable to survive. " President Truman glared at him angrily, obviously still angry at the guy for covering up his defeat and deceiving himself, but now was obviously not the right time to pursue these issues.

He closed his eyes with a tired face and quietly said After thinking for a while, I finally made a decision.

"No matter what, let's implement the nuclear strike plan against the remaining targets first.

As for Japan, since we have now lost air superiority over the Japanese battlefield, the nuclear strike plan against Japan must be slightly modified."

Truman sighed, "Also, didn't we establish a Japanese provisional government in Yokohama?

Although these guys are really useless, we should try to squeeze out the last bit of use they can before we are forced to abandon Japan. value" "Could you be more specific about your thoughts, Mr.

President?"

Secretary Hull interjected.

"It's very simple.

First, they can at least sign an unconditional surrender agreement with the United States on behalf of Japan, thereby legally denying the legitimacy of the Japanese die-hards and red elements, and boosting the declining morale of the domestic people.

As for the second thing?

" A cruel smile appeared on Truman's lips, "For the United States, only dead Japanese are good Japanese."

All in all, with an order from the White House, a new wave of nuclear explosion mushroom clouds quickly rose on this troubled planet oshow7:
