The weapons developed by the Army will definitely not be used by the Navy. The Navy will definitely not be used by the Army, no matter how good their performance is. The same weapons of the Army and Navy, except for light weapons, cannot be used universally. The same caliber of aviation
Machine gun bullets are used for their own purposes and cannot be used universally.
The navy's radar was put into actual combat earlier than the army, and its performance is even better than the radar the army is currently developing. But it would rather watch the army get bombed than provide any intelligence, and even the shadow of the radar is not allowed to the army.
To the navy's guard ships deployed in the Sea of Japan, all intelligence passes through the navy.
As for the current situation, the Navy will not report intelligence to the Army. The division of labor between the Army and the Navy is that the Army is responsible for local air defense and has nothing to do with the Navy. The main focus of Army aviation and Army anti-aircraft artillery has been occupied by the anti-aircraft group that appeared in the city of Hiroshima.
They were attracted to him. The plan to attack the east and west was implemented smoothly.
After breaking up with the main fleet northeast of Hiroshima, the fleet under Liming's personal command did not encounter any interception. But after arriving at this inconspicuous island, Liming did not immediately carry out bombing in a hurry. Instead, he carried out bombing along the route at maximum speed.
After circling the island, the location of the buildings on the island was determined.
He commanded all forty-two B-24 bombers, and then slowly opened the magazine. He dropped all the 168 tons of high-explosive bombs he carried on the northwest side of the island, where the buildings were most concentrated.
Even in order to achieve the highest bombing accuracy, the bomber group he commanded entered from a low altitude of one thousand meters.
It was not until after the bombing was completed that he began to climb away at maximum speed. Behind him, all the buildings on Okuno Island had been completely razed to the ground. The poisonous gas ignited by the explosion and the thick smoke caused by the explosion were unbearable in the Seto Inland Sea in winter.
In the windy weather, a huge column of smoke was formed. The poison gas spread from the destroyed poison gas factory shrouded the entire island in a demon created by the Japanese themselves.
Because at this moment, the poison gas factory on Okuno Island, which is currently operating at full capacity, has more than two thousand tons of mustard gas, dozens of tons of hydrogen acid, and a large amount of Louis gas and phosgene. At the same time,
It also reserves a large amount of chemical raw materials used to produce poisonous gas.
This batch of poisonous gas that was produced and is being produced was prepared by the Japanese army to be used on the Chinese battlefield under the situation of tight military strength to replace the Japanese divisions that were scheduled to be transferred and to make up for the lack of combat effectiveness of the supplementary troops. In 2004,
The battle caused too many losses to the Japanese army.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that the North China Front Army suffered heavy losses in the previous battles. Now that it was hit hard last year, it has withdrawn to the mountains to rest and recuperate. North China Tubal Road has a tendency to become active again. The Japanese occupied areas in North China are facing more and more challenges.
Unstable situation.
In order to restore public order in the so-called North China and ensure the safety of the Japanese occupying forces on the Jinpu Line, China's main artery. Under the circumstances that it is impossible to significantly increase the deployment of troops, the Japanese base camp has decided to increase the number of poison gas bombs deployed in North China and will use poison gas.
The command authority of the bombs is delegated to the division commander and the independent mixed brigade commander at the first level.
In order to implement this plan at the Japanese base camp, the poison gas factory on Okunoshima is currently operating at full capacity around the clock, with people working around the clock. In addition, in order to expand production, the island has also stocked up a large amount of raw materials. The entire island
It can be said to be a super large poison gas warehouse.
Originally, in addition to the Okunoshima poison gas factory, the Japanese army also had several large poison gas factories in Northeast China. However, as the war situation in Northeast China took a turn for the worse, in order to ensure safety and cover up secrets, the Japanese moved the original poison gas factories in China to
Moved back to Okunoshima. In other words, this poison gas factory is now responsible for 80% of the poison gas supply to the Japanese Army.
As a result, the more than 100 tons of high-explosive bombs used by the Anti-Japanese Alliance not only razed all the buildings on Okuno Island to the ground, but also leaked a large amount of poisonous gas that had not been transported and loaded after production. The high-explosive bombs would also be stored in the reserve.
Those highly toxic raw materials ignited, and the burning of hundreds of tons of highly toxic chemicals caused thick smoke that could be clearly seen dozens of kilometers away.
It was not until the bomber group led by Li Ming had left that the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery fire deployed around the island began to fire aimlessly all over the sky, as if waking from a dream. And within half an hour, the poisonous gas emitted from Okuno Island caused the surrounding area to explode.
The Japanese air defense troops on the island simply shut up.
There was no way that the amount of poisonous gas stored on this island was too large. Almost all the storage facilities were destroyed in the air raid, and the amount of poisonous gas emitted was quite large. Coupled with the violently burning raw materials and highly toxic products such as hydrogen acid, it was said that the gas produced
Highly lethal gas. The poisonous gas emitted by the entire Okuno Island is even more lethal than the most lethal chemical weapon used by the Japanese army.
Taken individually, these poisonous gases may not be that lethal. But when mixed together, the power is absolutely amazing. Even if poisoning occurs, there is not even time for rescue. Japanese ground air defense forces on surrounding islands,
I was completely smoked, and there was a large area of poisonous gas poisoning.
No matter how tenacious the Japanese are, they cannot resist the threat posed by the spread of poisonous gas over such a large area. Especially the ground air defense troops, which are basically not equipped with gas masks because they are fighting on the mainland. After a large number of anti-aircraft artillery soldiers were poisoned,
The Japanese had to urgently evacuate all the gunners on the anti-aircraft gun emplacements.
Takehara City, which is only three kilometers away from Okunoshima in a straight line, suffered heavy losses in the bombing. A large number of citizens were poisoned by the leaked poison gas, and more than half of the citizens were poisoned. Because they were unprepared and lacked first-aid drugs,
A considerable number of citizens died from poisoning.
The bombing of Okunoshima caused the entire Hiroshima Prefecture, as well as Ehime Prefecture on Shikoku Island across the Seto Inland Sea, to evacuate residents on a large scale. The arsenal in Hiroshima had to stop after all workers could only temporarily evacuate.
All production. Even the Wugang Naval Shipyard had to stop all ship manufacturing and evacuate all workers immediately.
These skilled shipbuilding workers are extremely important to the Japanese navy. Wu Port is only a few dozen kilometers away from Okuno Island. If there is some wind that day, Wu Port may be completely destroyed. I am scolding
After overthrowing the stupid army, the navy, no matter how reluctant it was, could only temporarily evacuate the shipyard workers.
The navy that was so troubled even moved the Etajima Naval War School to Saga Prefecture on Kyushu Island as soon as possible. The Japanese who created so much poison gas and killed countless Chinese people finally came to an end.
Eat your own consequences.
During this bombing, although the Anti-Alliance paid the price of thirteen bombers being shot down. However, these costs were not in vain. Through this bombing, the center of the Japanese gas war was completely destroyed. The entire Japanese army was 100% destroyed.
Eighty percent of the poison gas production capacity prevented more Chinese people from being harmed by Japanese poison gas bombs again.
After this bombing, the Japanese Army was no longer able to carry out chemical warfare on a large scale. It could only rely on a few small-scale poison gas factories in China. The poison gas bombs produced were far from meeting the needs. Helplessly
The North China Front could only terminate its original plan.
Whether it is a frontal battlefield or a battlefield behind enemy lines, the possibility of being killed by Japanese poison gas in future operations has dropped by 60%. The Japanese poison gas warfare capability has dropped even more sharply than before. The tense battle situation made
The Japanese are also unable to allocate resources to rebuild a poison gas factory of the same scale.
In order to massacre other weak countries, with limited national power, the Japanese, who used poison gas as a trump card and decisive weapon, ultimately shot themselves in the foot. When Pandora's box was opened on the mainland, they were faced with the large-scale release of poison gas.
Not only did the Japanese suffer a lot due to the poisonous gas, but the military production, which was already extremely tense, suffered serious losses.
The bombing of Okunoshima this time weakened Japan's military production capacity in a short period of time, which was almost equivalent to the power of high-explosive bombs and napalm bombs of more than 1,000 tons. Especially, it affected Kure Navy Yard, one of the largest shipyards of the Japanese Navy.
, the losses caused are even more incalculable.
The Japanese operation to eliminate the sequelae of the bombing lasted for decades, but ultimately failed. Okuno Island and the entire adjacent Geiyu Islands have been suffering from the sequelae for a long time. Takehara City had to completely
Give up and move all remaining residents to other places.
Although the consequences are quite serious, the Japanese are actually very lucky on the whole. The Seto Inland Sea where Okuno Island is located is an inland sea, located between Honshu Island, Shikoku Island, and Kyushu Island. Especially Honshu Island
, like folded arms, holds the Seto Inland Sea in its arms. And Shikoku Island is like a barrier, firmly blocking the Seto Inland Sea and the Pacific Ocean.
Whether it is the southeast monsoon in summer or the northwest monsoon blowing from the Sea of Japan in winter, the Seto Inland Sea is located on a wind slope. In other words, except for typhoon days, this sea is rarely open all year round.
It's windy. Therefore, although the amount of poisonous gas spread is large, it cannot spread over a large area with the change of wind direction. The diffusion speed of poisonous gas is not only very slow, but also limited to a small range for a long time.
If the Seto Inland Sea is not an inland sea, Okunoshima also has the monsoon climate of an ordinary island. The Japanese who need to evacuate are probably all residents except Hokkaido and northern Honshu. These leaked poisonous gases will follow the northwest in winter
The monsoon climate spreads to a large area of Shikoku Island and Kyushu Island.
But although the Japanese are lucky in this regard, there is another disadvantage in being in the leeward position. That is that the poison gas evaporates extremely slowly, and the concentration of the poison gas cannot be reduced for a long time. The leaked chemical raw materials also caused Seto to
In the southern part of the Inland Sea, not a single blade of grass grows in the Inland Sea for decades.
It took the Japanese several months just to clean up the white fish that covered the entire southern Seto Inland Sea. The Seto Inland Sea is another inland sea, with only Bungo Channel and Kii on both sides of Shikoku Island.
The waterway is connected to the Pacific Ocean. Its own purification ability is quite poor, and the seawater renewal cycle is even slower. In other words, the southern part of the Seto Inland Sea will be in a highly polluted situation for a long time.
The consequences of this bombing were not just the huge casualties and losses caused at the time. The long-term invisible harm lasted for decades. Until decades later, the birth rate of disabled babies in the area around Okunoshima was still the highest.
It ranks first in the entire East Asia region. The surrounding soil will not be able to grow any crops within decades.
Although Okunoshima has beautiful scenery, within decades it has become an island of death where no one can land. The Japanese thought they had created a so-called decisive weapon, but in the end they suffered the consequences. Just as the Chinese did
The old saying goes: "Good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil. It's not that you don't repay before the time comes. Everything will be repaid when the time comes."
