Chapter 608
At 7 a.m. on July 7, an extended Sirius strategic bomber, under the cover of dozens of Lanxiang fighter jets, landed quietly in the night sky at the brightly lit Okinawa Airport.As soon as the plane landed, it was immediately surrounded by hundreds of airport personnel and escorted it slowly into a special hangar.

This strategic bomber, numbered Sirius 1, only carried one bomb, but this 3.6-ton bomb was extremely powerful.In less than 2 hours, the second strategic bomber, numbered Sirius 2, also landed at Yaku Airport carrying the same bomb.Just in case, when the first strategic bomber fails to drop bombs, the second aircraft will complete the bombing mission.

The nuclear explosion on Tokyo was scheduled for 7:[-] am that day.During this time period, the citizens of Tokyo are basically preparing or having breakfast, and all people and most of the functional departments have not yet entered the working state.And at this time the sky had already brightened, and the visibility was quite good.Bombing during this period can cause the greatest casualties.

The original plan formulated by the military command was to bomb at night, which would be more effective. However, after the Air Force experimented, it was found that the bombing error at night was relatively large, at least exceeding 1000 meters, so it was changed to morning.The bombing point was also chosen in the vicinity of the Emperor's Palace and the Prime Minister's Office.Due to the protracted bombing a while ago, the citizens of Tokyo have already become numb to the bombing. Faced with the long-term threat of death, many people have developed negative thoughts of world-weariness, and still maintain the original work and rest time every day. No one can predict the bomb that may fall at any time. If you should be killed by the bomb, even if you hide at home all day, you will not escape. Besides, the air-raid shelters in Tokyo are prepared for the rich. At night, everyone has to pay at least 100 million yen, but for all rich people, 100 million to buy a life is worth it no matter what.

Of course, during this period, meteorological reconnaissance planes were also continuously dispatched to fly reconnaissance over Tokyo, which has ensured that the mission can be successfully completed to the greatest extent.Tokyo is at the southern end of the Kanto Plain, the terrain is relatively flat, and ground reference objects are easy to find.The city is roughly located in the center of the archipelago. It is connected to Chiba Prefecture by the Edo River in the east, Yamanashi Prefecture in the west by mountains, Kanagawa Prefecture in the south by the Tama River, and Saitama in the north. The counties are connected.The eastern part of the city is the building complex with the largest area, the Emperor's Palace, and the Prime Minister's Office is across a street behind the palace.

At 3:4 a.m., Chinese engineers at Okinawa Airport conducted a final test of the atomic bomb, and then carefully reloaded it into the magazine.The bombardier, key in hand, also climbed carefully into the plane.He will use the key to unlock the trigger device of the atomic bomb at the last moment, and then the captain, co-pilot, navigator, gunners and mechanics from all directions also climbed onto the plane, and the ground crew officially ended the inspection of the plane at 4:30 am. Various inspections, fuel filling and other work, at 4:3000 in the morning, the Sirius strategic bomber slowly slid onto the runway.After making some preparations and receiving an order from the tower to allow takeoff, the pilot immediately turned on the turbo booster to increase the power of the engine to its maximum. Four 5-horsepower engines began to roar, and the huge five-bladed torque-variable propeller rotated at high speed, pulling the aircraft to gradually accelerate.After the huge fuselage slid about 1300 meters, it wobbled and slowly flew up.At this point, the commander of the base let out a long sigh of relief, and finally he didn't have to worry about the damn atomic bomb blasting the entire base into the sky.

From Okinawa to Tokyo, this carefully selected air route is about 1150 kilometers long, and the flight takes about one hour and 50 minutes.Along the way, in addition to the escort of 40 Lanxiang fighter jets from the Air Force, hundreds of carrier-based fighter jets also blocked the airspace of the entire route.

At an altitude of 5000 meters, the fleet flew northeastward along the eastern part of Hyuga Nada, entered the first turning point at Tosa Bay, then flew around Shikoku Island to Kii Waterway, and then entered the air above the land after passing through Osaka Bay.Although there were several bases in the middle where the Japanese army looked out and found the fleet, they were unable to take off fighter jets to intercept them. Now there are not many planes that can fly. To the side of the Chinese fleet, even if it can reach the range of firepower, it will definitely be shot down by the opponent immediately, and this person knows this best.

At 6:40, the fleet entered high-altitude clouds over Takatsuki, making it impossible for ground watchers to find traces of the fleet.At this time, the captain began to lower the altitude to 3000 meters, and received the atomic bomb trigger code sent by the ground command center. At 6:50, after the code was checked, the bombardier opened the trigger with the key and entered the code according to the message received by the captain.The green lights on the trigger came on one after the other until all 12 green lights came on before the bombardier confidently capped the trigger.The forecast of the weather plane was very accurate, and the fleet entered the sky above the urban area of ​​Tokyo just after passing through the clouds.The plane first flew obliquely over the Katsura River, and then flew over the tombs of the three emperors, Toba, Shirakawa, and Konoe, and entered the southern district of Tokyo.

The sky was quite bright and the visibility was good. After adjusting the attitude, the captain flew towards Xiajing District.As soon as I entered the Nakakyo District, I found the straight Horikawa Street, just below the nose of the plane.Heading calculations are very accurate.After receiving the captain's order, the bombardier immediately opened the bomb bay door, put his eyes on the sight and began to aim.

At 7 o'clock, the center of the cross on the sight was aligned with the Pine Pavilion of the Emperor's Palace, and the bombardier immediately pressed the bombing button.

The first atomic bomb "Tianwei" with a slightly pyramidal shape fell steadily. In less than five seconds, a deceleration parachute was opened at the tail of the bomb body, and the atomic bomb began to slowly fall to the ground.As soon as the atomic bomb was dropped, the captain immediately put on full horsepower to accelerate and pull up. He needed to fly the plane to a place 2 kilometers away from the bombing point within 10 minutes to ensure the safety of the plane.The escorting fighter jets also flew away as early as when the hatch door opened.The bomber that followed for tracking photography remained 15 kilometers away, and the random personnel of this bomber will use the camera in their hands to photograph the entire process of the atomic bomb explosion over Tokyo.

It is also responsible for collecting meteorological data.

At this time, dozens of Japanese lookouts watched this scene strangely: a bomber flew over the city under the escort of dozens of fighter jets, dropped a parachute, and all scattered and accelerated away.Although they didn't know why, they were instinctively terrified of the parachute.

Two minutes later, in the air 2 meters above the ground, an extremely blazing white light flashed, and it became brighter and bigger.

The crew members wearing sunglasses on the bomber could even clearly see the outer edge of the shock wave after the atomic bomb exploded. A gray-blue halo quickly spread around and quickly caught up with the bomber, causing the bomber to violently turbulent .Then the shock wave that bounced back from the ground also caught up with the bomber, and the crew once again nervously endured the impact of the shock wave.After the second shock wave, the crew let out a long breath and returned to the base according to the scheduled route.

A mushroom cloud rose above Tokyo, and a huge cloud of smoke continued to roll and climb.

Within tens of seconds after the explosion.All buildings within a radius of about 1 kilometer from the blast point were ignited by intense light radiation.Then the huge shock wave also destroyed all the buildings within a radius of 3 kilometers, and the high temperature covered the entire city of Tokyo.The layers of buildings in the city increased the superposition effect of the shock wave generated by the atomic bomb explosion. As a result, almost all buildings within a radius of 6 kilometers were razed to the ground.The fire burned throughout the entire Tokyo metropolitan area. Needless to say, in the Chukyo district, many buildings were flattened and turned into glassy substances under high temperatures.Then came Shinjuku and Ikebukuro. The shock wave blew away all the protrusions on the ground and burned most of the buildings in the adjacent southern and northern districts.Most of the buildings in Akihabara and Shibuya were also devastated, and all combustible and non-combustible materials were set ablaze.All parks, botanical gardens and other places were also on fire.The moment the atomic bomb exploded, it killed at least 7 people, 11 people died in one day, 5 people died in the next week, and nearly 20 people did not live for three years, and another 20 people died. People are permanently disabled.

Compared with the huge casualties, the biggest blow is the spirit. On the outskirts of Tokyo, there are the imperial tombs of most of the emperors.In the northwest, there are many Emperor's Mausoleums. These Emperor's Tombs are at the foot of the gentle Taoshan Mountain, facing the urban area, which is equivalent to facing the direction of the atomic bomb explosion. Therefore, they were swept away by the fire without exception.At the foot of Mount Inari in the southeast, there are also six Tombs of the Emperor, the Tomb of the Emperor Gohori River, the Tomb of the Emperor Komei, the Tomb of the Emperor Nakagong, and the Tomb of the Emperor Akihito who died a few years ago. Like the Tomb of the Emperor in the northwest corner, the Toba Tomb, the Tomb of the Emperor Shirakawa and the Tomb of the Emperor Konoe in the south were even more serious. Since there were no buildings, mountains, etc. to cover them, they were completely destroyed by high temperature and shock waves during the explosion.Tokyo was turned into a dead city in an instant, and even the adjacent Xiangedo River was hit by a huge fire.

Although the ambulance force entered the city at the fastest speed, they were quickly brought back.The intense radiation caused many people rushing to the front to lose their basic mobility, and rescuers without any protection fell down one after another.
