New World War II Eagle Strikes the Sky

Chapter 309, Burning the Yasukuni Shrine

The Yasukuni Shrine in Kudanzaka was also attacked by incendiary bombs from more than 29 B-[-] bombers.Because of the technology accumulation when developing the bat bomb, the Americans can now control the bomb explosion height relatively accurately without using the vt fuze.Of course, their accuracy and effectiveness cannot be compared with the VT fuze. However, both the Navy and the Army Aviation firmly oppose the use of VT fuzes on bombs dropped into enemy-controlled areas.Because if for some reason, the bomb equipped with the vt fuze did not explode, and the fuze fell into the hands of the enemy, then assuming that the enemy quickly imitated this thing, and then installed it in the shell of the anti-aircraft gun, that would be a great threat to the United States For the bomber force, it is simply a nightmare.

Therefore, all bombs that need to be exploded in the air are currently not allowed to use vt fuzes, but can only use timing fuzes with lower reliability and accuracy.Under the control of these fuzes, the napalm incendiary bomb dropped by the b-29 bomber will explode at a height of about 200 meters from the target, throwing 24 small bombs around, and each small bomb will be at a distance from the ground. It exploded at a height of about 50 meters, and threw hundreds of burning napalm blocks to the ground.As long as these burning viscous particles fall anywhere, they can easily ignite any flammable product there.Yes flammable.The burning power of this thing is definitely not comparable to the thermite that can burn through cement or the white phosphorus that can hardly get rid of and cannot be extinguished when it gets on the body. There is almost no effective solution except digging out that piece of meat. bomb.

But compared to these two things, napalm is cheap, and it is particularly easy to use to ignite wooden buildings like those in Japan.Now the napalm incendiary bombs dropped by more than 29 b-[-]s have exploded over the Yasukuni Shrine, and countless fires have been soaked down. From a distance, it looks like a rain of fire, which looks very beautiful up.

Takeo Kanai is a night watchman at the Yasukuni Shrine, and it was his turn to be on duty that night.In fact, there is nothing to do on this kind of duty.A few years ago, there were thieves who broke into the Yasukuni Shrine at night to steal things, but the person who did that kind of thing was a lowly "Three Kingdoms" (Japanese's respect for Koreans and Taiwanese who were under Japanese rule at that time scorn), the authentic Japanese Yamato descendants would never do such a thing.The "Three Kingdoms Man" was caught on the spot, and was immediately dealt with by the crowd who heard the news.But now, those "people from the Three Kingdoms" who were not loyal to Japan have long been cleared out of Tokyo, and now there will be absolutely no one coming here to sneak around.

Imai Takeo made a turn at the first gate.The first gate of the current Yasukuni Shrine was newly built.The gate originally built in 1921 was made of copper and iron, but in 43, due to the lack of supplies during the war, the gate was dismantled and used as a gun.Then the Japanese built the current one with wood on the original site.

At this time, Imai Takeo suddenly heard the shrill cry of the air defense siren.Today's Japanese are not as calm as they were during the Doolittle Raid in 1942 when they heard this voice.At that time, the Japanese thought it was an exercise after the air defense alarm sounded, and even ran to an open place to watch. But now, it is not the first time that Japanese cities have been bombed.All Japanese know that this kind of alarm is no joke now.

Before Jinjing can get everyone up, the American bomb drops.As the incendiary bomb exploded in mid-air, countless dark red tinder rained down, all over the ground in the shrine.The fire that fell on the roof and the trees in the courtyard quickly ignited these wooden buildings, as well as the courtyard trees with dry branches and leaves in winter.Even Takeo Imai had a kindling on his body.

It was still February, and it was still very cold in Tokyo in February, and Kanai, who was watching the night, was wearing a thick cotton coat.The sticky tinder stuck to the right arm of his cotton-padded jacket, burning quietly, Jinjing stroked it with his hand, trying to get rid of it.But who knew that this sticky jelly-like substance was smeared all over the right arm of the cotton-padded coat by him.Then the entire right arm suddenly burst into flames, and the flames rose several feet high almost in the blink of an eye.Fortunately, Jinjing's reaction was quick, he immediately threw away the cotton coat, but the flames only burned off half of his hair and eyebrows.

The architecture of the Yasukuni Shrine is not much different from other Japanese shrines, both of which are mainly wooden structures.Once these buildings burn, it is almost impossible to extinguish them.So the priests who woke up in a panic quickly made a decision-now, the most important thing is to rescue those important collections.First of all, the most important ones are the "Lingxi Books" in Feng'an Temple.

The so-called "Yuxi Book" is the name and information records of the deceased for sacrificial offerings.Since the Meiji Restoration, the number of people who "died for the emperor" has reached more than one million, and the names and information of these people are all recorded in it for the purpose of offering sacrifices.If all these things are burned, who else will the Yasukuni Shrine worship in the future?If any of these things are burned, it will definitely deal a major blow to the morale of the Japanese army.So, now, the most important thing is to grab these things.

However, the fire developed very quickly, and almost in the blink of an eye, the roof of Feng'an Hall of Lingxi Book was already on fire.The tongue of flame rose upwards, reaching a height of tens of meters.The burning beams crackled and crackled.In the rush, the Japanese didn't have time to find out the gas masks and the like. Jin Jing and some others just poured buckets of water on their bodies and rushed into the burning hall.

There was thick smoke billowing in the hall, Jin Jing covered his mouth and nose with a wet towel, and rushed towards the place where the seal book was stored.The thick smoke not only blocked his sight, but also irritated his eyes. Tears kept pouring out of his eyes, and then were dried by the steaming heat.Burnt rafters kept falling from above with flames.A young man who rushed in after Jinjing was hit on the head by a falling rafter with flames, and fell silently in the fire.The other person who was following this person was tripped by him and fell to the ground, dropped the towel covering his mouth and nose, and then inhaled several mouthfuls of poisonous smoke, so this person also got up in a violent cough, Then slowly fell down again.

Jinjing rushed to the place where the seal books were kept, the shelves that held the wooden boxes containing the seal books, and those wooden boxes were already burning.At this time, the clothes on Jin Jing's body that had been poured with a bucket of water had already dried up, and even smoked.As for the wet towel covering the mouth and nose, it has long since lost its effect.Kanai held his breath and rushed over, holding up a burning wooden box with both hands.The flames rising from the wooden box immediately ignited the clothes on his chest.Jin Jing endured the severe pain, turned around, turned around with the wooden box, and was about to run outside, but when he turned around, he collided with a guy who stumbled in behind him.The two were knocked down to the ground together, the wooden box in Jinjing's hand was thrown out and fell to the ground, the wooden box was smashed to pieces immediately, the seal books inside were thrown out, and then burned quickly, It turned into flying paper ash almost instantly.

At the same time, the two people who fell also installed those wooden shelves. These wooden shelves, which were already burning, could not withstand such an impact, and were immediately shattered. The boxes rolled down and hit more shelves. More boxes were broken.The flames rose several meters high in an instant, almost touching the roofs that had exposed the sky.

At this time, more people rushed in, but at this time, the entire roof collapsed with a bang, and everyone was crushed underneath.

……

The fire in Tokyo caused a hurricane of flames.The heated air in the fire scene rises rapidly, and the surrounding air flows to the fire scene at high speed, forming a huge whirlwind.In this whirlwind, the flames rose to a height of hundreds of meters.In the central area of ​​the fire site, the temperature has risen to over 3000 degrees, which is equivalent to the effect of thermite incendiary bombs.

The rising hot air has even affected the bombing of the follow-up bombers. Under the impact of the strong updraft, the follow-up bombers can't even lower their altitude. The huge B-29 bomber is like a piece of paper, pushed by the airflow , one flew up, and flew higher and higher.Coupled with the high speed of the airflow below, the wind force even exceeded level 12, which caused the accuracy of the bombs they dropped to be completely unguaranteed.But at this time, their incendiary bombs don't need any accuracy at all, and even their incendiary bombs have become redundant, and the fire field itself will continue to engulf the nearby area at an alarming speed.

At this time, on a b-29 bomber that was still circling at high altitude, both Ron and Li Mei stared at the scene below in dumbfounded.

"Good guy, this is really... I think we have opened the gate of hell and let hell appear directly in the world." Li Mei, who has always been known for her calm and ruthless, said, "If this war we If it wasn't for the victors, tonight alone, Ron, we'd all be war criminals."

"Yes, we have opened the gates of hell. But we opened the gates of hell so that the devils who smuggled out of hell can be stuffed back in." Ron said, "we are only here at the call of the Lord." Apocalyptic knights."

"Ron, do you think so?" Li Mei looked at Ron with wide eyes, "Well, this is a good idea. Although it is a bit arrogant, I like this idea very much."
