    But what Yamada Otsuzo didn¡¯t expect was that while he was presiding over the meeting, the Soviet Red Army¡¯s Far East Military Region and Li Guoyao¡¯s headquarters in the Northeast were actively preparing for war, and a large number of troops had quietly moved towards the scheduled battlefield.

    But the Japanese army was arguing endlessly about whether to fight or retreat, so much so that no result was reached for several days.

    In the blink of an eye, time has entered August.

    At this time, the Kwantung Army Headquarters also made a decision to defend the entire Manchuria, but made plans to withdraw to North Korea.

    Therefore, while actively providing reinforcements to the border areas, many troops were dispatched to Tonghua, Dunhua and other places. The Kwantung Army Headquarters requested that communication lines to North Korea be ensured.

    At this time, Li Guoyao's headquarters had also reached a final agreement with the Soviets, and the time for the general offensive was set in the early morning of August 9.

    But while the armies of China and the Soviet Union were sharpening their knives, the Americans took the lead in attacking the Japanese mainland. This time, the Americans not only frightened the Japanese, but also stunned the whole world.

    On August 6, a B-29 aircraft of the US 509th Bomb Group was commanded by its group leader, Colonel Tibbets.  After receiving a report from the leading weather reconnaissance aircraft about the good weather in the Hiroshima area, they flew to Japan together with other B-29 groups that continued to bomb with conventional bombs.

    But unlike other fighter planes, this fighter plane is not loaded with conventional aerial bombs, but the latest super bomb successfully developed by the United States - the atomic bomb.

    Spaars¡¯ 20th Air Force set the time for Colonel Tibbets to drop the atomic bomb over Hiroshima at 8:15 a.m. Japan time that day.  The flight from Tinian Island to Hiroshima was more than 2,700 kilometers and took six and a half hours to fly. As a result, the original bomb was dropped at 8:15 minutes and 17 seconds, which was only more than 17 seconds according to the prescribed time.

    At that time, Hiroshima was the headquarters of Marshal Hata Shunroku's 2nd Internal Defense Army and the headquarters of Lieutenant General Hisao Tani's 59th Army. It was also the place where Emperor Meiji Murishito set up his base camp during the Japanese invasion of China in 1894 and the Russo-Japanese War in 1904.  .

    The atomic bomb exploded over Hiroshima destroyed all buildings within a radius of about 1,600 meters from the center of the explosion, killing about 71,000 civilians and injuring about 68,000.

    In Kusatsu, about 5 kilometers southwest of Hiroshima, although the houses were not blown down, the glass on the doors and windows were all shattered. As far as Itsukaichi, about 8 kilometers away from Hiroshima, there were still a few households whose door and window glass were shattered.

    When the atomic bomb exploded, Hiroshima experienced a terrifying phenomenon of darkness, and the city suddenly turned into a miserable scene of debris and countless corpses.

    A bomb actually killed about 140,000 people and destroyed a city area with a diameter of about 3.2 kilometers.  This not only alarmed the people of Hiroshima, but also Japan's warlords who have always advocated external aggression!

    The Japanese base camp in Hiroshima was bombed by a very destructive bomb. Before the explosion, there were fireballs and strong flashes in the air. After the explosion, there were white smoke clouds rushing into the sky in the shape of mushrooms and other special phenomena. We have generally known that this was  What type of bomb was it? That is, Lieutenant General Seizo Arisu, the second head of the General Staff Headquarters, and Dr. Yoshio Nishina, a nuclear physicist, were sent to Hiroshima for an on-site inspection.

    Arisue Seizo is a veteran of the battlefield. He once served as the deputy chief of staff of the North China Front. When he arrived at the bombed area of ????Hiroshima, he first saw a large circular plain around the center of the explosion.  The observation results of Nishina Yoshio and his assistants using instruments and actual measurements confirmed that this was an atomic bomb.

    After being attacked by the atomic bomb, the Japanese high-level officials were greatly shocked. Different from fighting with conventional tactics, even if I can't beat you, I can still cause great damage to you. After all, if I kill ten thousand enemies, I will damage myself eight thousand, and if Japan kills one hundred million, I will cause great damage to you.  Yu Sui is not just shouting.

    "But how to fight this battle when faced with such a terrifying bomb as the atomic bomb?"

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of sight of that place, if you don¡¯t like it, an atomic bomb will flatten a city within a few kilometers of it.

    How many cities in Japan can withstand an atomic bomb attack?

    "However, the Japanese government and the base camp still have some luck, that is, it is not easy to manufacture atomic bombs. Not to mention the price, it is not easy to extract many radioactive elements, so the United States should not have many aerial bombs.

    Sure enough, the US military only dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima that day, and the attacks in other places were still dominated by conventional bombs.

    Although this attack did not completely destroy the spirit of the Japanese army, it also caused chaos in Japan, and even the frontline troops fell into a trace of panic.

    But at this moment, the Sino-Soviet and Sino-Mongolian border areasThe Soviet army in the area and the Chinese army in China are also ready for battle. Everything is ready and all we need is the east wind!

    August 9 was definitely the most disappointing and chaotic day for the Japanese government and base camp. On this day, they suffered double or even multiple blows.

    First, the Soviet Union announced at 23:00 on August 8 that it would be in a state of war against Japan starting from August 9, that is, an hour later.

    The Kwantung Army's defensive operation plan is to first fight against the Soviet army in the shallow depth of the northeastern border. The main force will gradually gather in the Changbai Mountains in the east, Jiangdong and the main defense areas on the Sino-North Korean border. Together with the 17th Front Army stationed in North Korea, they will carry out  A large-scale and sustained defensive operation to prevent the Soviet army from entering the Changbai Mountains and North Korea.

    At about 1 o'clock on August 9, the operational duty room of the Kwantung Army Headquarters in Changchun received continuous emergency phone calls from the 5th Army Headquarters in Mudanjiang: The Soviet troops in front of Suifenhe and Dongning had begun to attack, and Mudanjiang City was under attack.  An air raid by a Soviet bomber group.

    Subsequently, a group of Soviet Air Force bombers flew over Changchun and bombed Kuanchengzi District.

    In just half an hour, the Kwantung Army's front-line troops and the command organizations in the rear were in a real state of war.

    When the war broke out, the commander of the Kwantung Army, Yamada Otsuzo, happened to not be in the headquarters yet. He was inspecting defense in Dalian at this time. The entire Kwantung Army headquarters was leaderless and fell into chaos.

    The staff officer, section chief, and deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army General Headquarters held a meeting in a tense atmosphere of the dark night. Qin Yanzaburo, based on the intentions of his base camp, issued the Kwantung Army's plan on behalf of the Kwantung Army Commander Yamada Otsuzo who went to Dalian.  The general meaning of the combat order is: The Soviet army on the eastern front has begun to attack. All front armies, armies and units directly under the central government must defeat the Soviet attack and quickly prepare for all-out operations.

    During this period, reports from the army were received from all directions, indicating that the Soviet army's all-out attack had begun.

    At about 6 o'clock, Qin Yansanlang ordered all front armies and troops under their jurisdiction: "According to the combat plan, annihilate the incoming Soviet troops."

    It was expected that the Soviet Air Force would bomb Changchun again after dawn, so Qin Yansaburo decided to move the Kwantung Army Headquarters to the Nanling Underground Command Post in the Southern District on the morning of the 9th.

    When the personnel of the Kwantung Army Headquarters marched towards Nanling through Changchun Street, what they saw along the way were the panicked crowds in the city supporting the old and young, carrying backpacks and carrying things, and disorderly marching towards the city in the intermittent autumn rain.  Air defense evacuation outside.

    The Nanling Underground Command Post of the Kwantung Army was built in 1942. Because it was not used during normal times, many equipment was not installed. It was actually an underground air raid shelter.  Due to continuous rainfall, various underground rooms have accumulated water and cannot be used.

    As a result, he had no choice but to return to the original headquarters in Changchun City from Nanling. At this time, the long-distance phone calls between the Japanese base camp and the Kwantung Army were still open.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
