Chapter 1282 Heaven's Punishment Injury
On March 23, under the personal deployment of Gen. Sugiyama, Japan's First General Army initially completed the rescue work of the wounded in Tokyo City and the statistics of casualties.
After many verifications, the Zhongxia people indeed dropped only one flash bomb that could compete with the sun at noon that day.
A total of 238,000 bodies have been recovered from the ruins and rivers of Tokyo so far, and a preliminary count of the number of injured is 155,000.
The injured who were counted all had obvious wounds on their bodies.
People in this era did not know that there would be various rays and flashes when an atomic bomb exploded, and the damage caused by these things to the human body would not show any wounds.

The real number of injured must be more than 155,000, at least two or three times that number.
In addition, the number of missing people should be between 100,000 and 130,000. Almost all the people in the core circle of the explosion are missing. If the bodies cannot be found, the casualties cannot be confirmed and can only be judged as missing.
In addition, there are many people trapped under the rubble, not knowing whether to live or die.
Approximately 500,000 buildings of various types were destroyed.
Most of the people in Tokyo who had experienced many major bombings were displaced and could only live in shacks without the shelter of their houses. The atomic bombs caused even greater damage to these people.
The first statistics of the number of dead, injured and missing exceeded 500,000. When this report was presented to Marshal Sugiyama, commander of the First General Army, the Marshal could hardly believe his eyes and murmured:
:
"Is it really just a bomb? How is that possible?"
Such horrific casualty figures completely refreshed Sugiyama Moto's outlook on life, and he found it difficult to accept that such horrific weapons existed in the world.
Lieutenant General Xu Tengrongzhi, Chief of Staff, still had a look of horror on his face. He nodded with difficulty and said:
"Many people saw with their own eyes that a bomb much larger than an ordinary bomb fell in the sky that day, and then the whole world was enveloped in white light. After the white light, there was a big explosion that destroyed a city.

Marshal, what exactly is the principle of this kind of bomb? Why is it so terrifying?"
Sugiyama Motoya had only heard a few words about the atomic bomb. How could he know the specific principles?
It was confirmed that it was the people of Zhongxia who had punished Tokyo by heaven, rather than the extraterrestrial meteorite hitting Tokyo by chance. Sugiyama Moto was in a complicated mood, and for a while he didn't know how to inform the people of the entire country about the situation.
Just at this time, a staff officer came from outside to report that Marshal Seishiro Itagaki, commander of the Second General Army, had arrived.
Sugiyama Gen's temporary headquarters was set up outside the city. Because he was worried about the air attacks from the Zhongxia people, Sugiyama Gen did not choose towns and villages, but set up tents in the jungle.
When Itagaki Seishiro entered the tent, Sugiyama Gen drove all the staff out, and then handed the casualty report he just saw to Itagaki Seishiro.
Itagaki Seishiro knew more about the atomic bomb than Sugiyama Gen. Although he was also shocked by the casualties of more than 500,000, his mentality was better than Sugiyama Gen.
"What's the situation in the city now?"
Sugiyama Yuan sighed,
"People and soldiers have been organized to collect corpses and rescue the wounded, but the capital has been basically destroyed, and not a single intact building remains.

Now there is a shortage of water, electricity, food and supplies everywhere. The nearly 2 million people who have left the city have no place to resettle, and I am afraid they will eventually have to return to the ruins."
Itagaki Seishiro nodded, he had already estimated these situations when he understood the power of the atomic bomb.
Just listen to Sugiyama Yuan continue to say worriedly:
"Many cabinet ministers have disappeared, the government is now basically in a state of shutdown, and the Allies have once again urged our country to accept the announcement of unconditional surrender.
The most critical thing now is to form a provisional government, appease the people, and respond to the urging of the Allies!
What do Itagaki-kun think about this?"
Itagaki Seishiro's eyes made brief contact with Sugiyama Gen's eyes, and then he frowned and said the plan he had thought of long ago:
"I believe that the public must not be made aware of the existence of destructive bombs such as the atomic bomb. What happened in Tokyo can lead to the fall of meteorites from the sky.
The Mid-Summer period inflicted such heavy casualties on the Japanese Empire. If we accept the Allied Forces' announcement calling for unconditional surrender, how can we be worthy of the hundreds of thousands of people who died and disappeared, and how can we be worthy of the Prime Minister who was wiped out in ashes?
We must sternly reject it, the warriors of the Japanese Empire cannot be intimidated!"

Sugiyama Gen understood what Itagaki Seishiro meant, but the worry on his face still did not dissipate.
"Before the atomic bomb exploded, Zhongxia vigorously promoted their theory of divine punishment. This theory was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Now that Tokyo has been destroyed, the people are already panic-stricken.
Whether it is diet or atomic bombs, they are all forms of natural punishment, and I am afraid it will be difficult to appease the morale of the military and the people."
Itagaki Seishiro still insisted on his own opinion. He believed that the people's mentality was malleable. As long as the government and the army unified their statement, everything would pass over time.
The other two people decided to immediately form a military government to coordinate military and political affairs across the country, organize the military and civilians to continue to resist, and never surrender.
During the entire secret conversation, the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not talk about what would happen if Zhongxia continued to launch a nuclear attack on Japan.
Maybe they don't want to think about this possibility at all and instinctively avoid it.
After the meeting, Itagaki Seishiro asked Sugiyama Gen to accompany him to see the capital of the empire, Tokyo.
The two of them walked out of the temporary headquarters with heavy hearts, and the first thing they went to was the refugee camp outside Tokyo.
Without sufficient supplies, the more than one million people who escaped from Tokyo could only spontaneously build shacks and create a shelter for themselves with their hands.

The daily food is two bowls of porridge.
Having just experienced a disaster, life at this moment is even more miserable, but these people still work hard without complaining, with blank faces.
Behind the refugee camp is a temporary field hospital.
Different from the dull silence just now, the fields here are wailing and the smell of blood is permeating the air.
You can often see corpses being taken out of the emergency room and then thrown into the pit at the side.
There were not enough tents, so the wounded had to lie in the wilderness.
Some people were scratching their wounds so hard that they were bleeding.
Some people couldn't stand the pain all over their bodies and begged passing medical staff or soldiers to kill them.
There is so much despair here that it is almost unbearable to look at it.
But Itagaki Seishiro's expression was as green as usual, without any pity or anger.

Seeing the two marshals, the doctors at the field hospital who were already too busy asked the army to provide more medical support.
Now all kinds of strange symptoms are beginning to appear among the wounded. Doctors have never seen or heard of them. Many times they are helpless and can only watch the wounded die in pain.
After leaving the hospital, Itagaki Seishiro saw the piles of corpses outside Tokyo.
Many families, young and old, and all their relatives and friends were killed in the big explosion, and they were basically wiped out.
Therefore, no one came to claim the bodies, and the broken limbs and limbs were left to pile up in mountains.
The army did not have enough oil on hand and was unable to burn it. They could only watch the mountain of corpses turn into a feast for flies and maggots.
The stench spread ten miles away, but people couldn't care less. At most, they just covered their noses.
"We will dispose of these corpses as soon as possible as soon as we are free!"
Sugiyama Yuan shook his head slightly and said.
After seeing these scenes, both of them felt very heavy, but they did not stop and walked into the ghostly hell-like Tokyo.

The metropolis that was once bustling with people, prosperous commerce, and prosperous literary styles has turned into a desolate, dilapidated, and lonely place of death!
Since the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese efforts have been basically concentrated in Tokyo, but they were destroyed by the Central Xia people with one bomb.
Seeing this scene, Itagaki Seishiro felt deep regret and grief.
When he thought that hundreds of thousands of people had perished here, Itagaki Seishiro seemed to be able to feel the gazes of ghosts coming from all directions.
Under the gaze of countless eyes, he felt inexplicably guilty.
