There is smoke over Iwo Jima, and the island is covered with thick smoke, with visibility less than ten meters.

Six Hellfire heavy carrier-based bombers flew over and dropped more than twenty aviation bombs again.

Fierce explosions came out, and the entire Iwo Jima fell into a sea of ​​fire again, just like the eruption of earth fire in the end of the world, and the scene was very spectacular.

This was undoubtedly hellishly miserable for the Japanese army guarding the island.

It was the latest aviation bomb developed by the Tang army. Its main charges were white phosphorus and high combustion ammunition. The explosion could generate thousands of degrees of high temperatures at the moment. Whether it was steel or rocks, it would melt. The Japanese army hiding deep in the tunnel could not bear the huge heat, just like an ant on a hot pan. The Japanese army could not help but rushed out of the tunnel, trying to find a source of water to cool down. Unexpectedly, the fragments of the white phosphorus bombs burned violently when they hit the water. Even if they stuck a little, they would corrode into the bones in an instant, and the ghosts and wolves howled.

However, most of the Japanese army could not hear the shouts of themselves and others at all, because their ears had already been shaking their mouths and noses by the roar of the high-explosive aviation bombs, and most of them were deaf.

The Tang army did not have many white phosphorus bombs. The first hundreds of aviation bombs produced were quickly used up, causing heavy casualties in the Japanese army and thousands of burns and scalding to varying degrees.

Although the Tang army's white phosphorus bombs have been used up for the time being, there are still many new weapons preparations for the Tang army, the most powerful of which is the Tang army's fire sprinkler device.

A Japanese army castle that had been coking in high temperatures, several Japanese troops endured the huge pain of burns and scalding all over their bodies and continued to resist stubbornly. The ** machine gun fired. Blocked the Tang soldiers who were advancing carefully at the foot of the mountain.

After several Tang army engineers eliminated three landmines, two fire spitting soldiers found a favorable position under the cover of the chariot and sprayed flames at the Japanese army's castle.

The flame was more than ten meters long and burned until the entrance of the Japanese castle cave. The Japanese machine gunners were burned by the fire, making tragic howls, and crawled out of the castle and rolled down.

The Tang army did not shoot him, but asked them to scream that way, so that the Japanese troops in the other castles were frightened and panicked, and the psychological warfare purpose of deterring the enemy. It completely defeated the Japanese army's resistance.

The Japanese army was able to resist so stubbornly because of their long-term arrogant mentality of winning every battle and the reality of the rise of weak Chinese. Faced with the fierce attacks of the Tang army, they subconsciously regarded them as weak ones and did not surrender even if they died.

Standing on the bridge tower, Li Haichen put down his telescope. Such a tragic battle was the first time he had seen it in his life. It was also the battle that the Tang army had paid the biggest casualties since its establishment. More than 300 officers and soldiers had been killed on Iwo Jima. For the royal army of the Tang Empire, which had successively taken elite troops, the casualties were very expensive.

Of course, this is from the Tang army's own position. If it were the army of other countries, they would have fallen off their chin in surprise because of such a fierce battle. As the attacking side, even the most elite German army would have to pay the price of tens of thousands of people.

"It's getting dark. Can't you take down this broken island today?"

"Commander, we have obtained the authorization order from the Supreme Commander, and a new weapon will soon arrive at the battlefield."

"There are new weapons?"

Li Haichen couldn't help but scream, but asked with a happy face: "What kind of weapon is it? Is it more powerful than the white phosphorus bomb in front of him?"

Major General Li Jianhui, the commander of the aviation, nodded immediately and said with a smile: "It's a poison gas bomb, which is more powerful than a white phosphorus bomb!"

Li Haichen frowned and said, "We have this thing too? It seems that the Hague restricts the use of poison gas bombs, so we will not be criticized by international public opinion!"

Li Jianhui nodded and replied: "It's not a high-end poison gas bomb, it's just a chlorine gas reserved by the industrial reserve. It's simply converted into a bomb. The Japanese hidden in the cave, they can't eat or drink, but they can't breathe. They throw dozens of cans of chlorine gas tonight and kill them all. Who knows that we have used poison gas bombs? Keep our flags and put them on the mountain tomorrow morning."

Li Haichen said: "It doesn't matter what we use to deal with the Japanese, but it will hurt our soldiers. After all, if our soldiers are wearing gas masks, everyone knows that we have started to use poison gas bombs."

Li Jianhui said confidently: "Don't worry, our meteorological personnel have been detecting data nearby these days. Tonight, the west wind will be blowing, and the wind will not exceed level 2, which is the ideal state for releasing poison gas. There will be heavy rain tomorrow, just cleaning up all traces."

Only then did Li Haichen feel relieved and continue to watch the battlefield ahead.

In the evening, a formation of 36 Tang army JF-11 bombers that took off from Saipan flew over Iwo Jima. Tang Junye retreated to the beach west of Iwo Jima and stood on standby.

Dozens of cans of poison gas bombs were airdropped to Iwo Jima, and millions of cubic meters of yellow chlorine were released. The Japanese army was originally the Iwo Jima fortification built in a hurry for several months. There was no biochemical equipment. The chlorine gas was invisible at all under the night. All the Japanese inhaled it was dead, and the death was extremely terrifying.

Thousands of Japanese troops were injured, so they died shortly after being attacked by poison gas. All the Japanese troops on Iwo Jima were killed in the middle of the night, but the Tang army waited until it rained heavily the next morning before attacking Iwo Jima again.

Without any resistance, the Japanese army in the tunnel was first attacked by white phosphorus bombs, and then eroded by poison gas bombs. They were all dead and terrifying. The poison gas remained in the tunnel. The Tang army did not dare to go deeper, so they directly bombed the tunnel and buried all the Japanese corpses on the spot.

When he saw the Tang army's flag flying on the highest peak of Iwo Jima, Li Haichen and others showed the joy of victory.

During the Battle of Iwo Jima, more than 15,000 Japanese divisions were killed, and the Tang army paid only more than 300 casualties. As the attacking side, the Tang army undoubtedly won an unprecedented victory.

Within a week after that, the Tang army quickly captured other islands on the Ogasawara Island and did not face fierce resistance. More than 1,200 Japanese on the only inhabited island of the main island, were forcibly moved away. More than 600 men were sent to Iwo Jima to build airports and trestles for the Tang army, and more than 600 women were sent to the Tang Dynasty. From then on, they became official slaves and prostitutes.

The Tang army captured the southern islands of Japan, which made Japan extremely nervous because it meant that the Tang army's bombers would be able to use the airport in Iwo Jima to bomb Japan again.

The Saito Mi Cabinet held an emergency meeting, believing that even if the Tang army does not land on Japan, it will be dragged down by the endless bombing of the Tang army.

However, Saito Mi planned to negotiate peace with the Tang Empire, but was strongly opposed by the Japanese military. She would rather return to the primitive society than surrender to the Tang Empire. However, Saito Mi still acquiesced to a group of Japanese celebrities who secretly communicated with the top leaders of the Tang Empire and tried to mediate through a group of pro-Japanese factions of the Republic of China government as intermediaries.

But the Tang Empire had no intention of truce, so you should take your life while you were sick. This is the rule set by Zhang Meng and no one can change it.

However, as the news that the Tang army captured the Ogasawara Islands and was preparing to bomb the Japanese mainland again came out, the British, French, and American powers who were watching the Tang-Japanese War changed their attitudes.

Previously, Britain, France and the United States were both afraid of Japan's series of military actions in the Pacific and Asia, which touched the interests of various countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Therefore, they were happy to see the Tang Empire severely attacking Japan. They also hoped that both the Tang and Japanese wars were defeated.

However, the only one who was injured was the Japanese Empire, and it was very miserable. In turn, the Tang Empire not only did not weaken its power, but became increasingly powerful.

Faced with an increasingly uncontrolled Tang Empire, the strong rise of its military power, and Zhang Meng recently raised tens of billions of dollars in France, which made the Tang Empire's capital sufficient to the point where countries around the world were jealous. In this way, the attitudes of Britain, France, the United States and other countries naturally changed. They did not want Japan to be over-weaked, and they did not want the Tang Empire to dominate the Pacific without being controlled.

Therefore, Britain, France and the United States demanded the Tang Empire to stop attacking Japan on the grounds that the Tang Empire wanted to bomb Japan and injured millions of innocent civilians, which seriously violated humanitarian principles, and demanded mediation.

Faced with the joint mediation between Britain, France and the United States, Zhang Meng had to reconsider the issue of the war against Japan. After all, the Tang Empire lacked strategic depth, and the surrounding areas were surrounded by colonies of Britain, France and the United States. At this time, the various constructions of the Tang Empire were at a critical moment, and rashly offending Britain, France and the United States would not be worth the loss.

Obviously, Zhang Meng faced a problem that was the same as the joint interference between Germany, France and Russia in Japan and the Liaodong Peninsula during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895.

At the imperial meeting, Zhang Meng did not speak and kept smoking a cigarette, and the others were also very angry.

"These foreigners are really not a thing. Seeing that we were about to fuck the little Japanese down, they actually jumped out to stop them."

"Why do you have to buy the foreign devils' accounts? As I said, we will continue to fight the Japanese devils and ask them to shout them to themselves. We just don't discuss peace. This time we have to kill the Japanese devils at once."

"That's right, if you don't kill a snake, you will suffer. Let's defeat Japan in one breath so that they will never be arrogant again."

Zhang Meng exhaled a smoke ring heavily, looked at an old man with glasses, and asked, "What does Mr. Tang think?"

The man was Tang Shaoyi, but he did not serve as the Prime Minister of the Tang Empire, but came to Chang'an as an advisor. This was also an agreement reached between the Tang Empire and the National Government. The government let Tang Shaoyi come to the Tang Dynasty, but asked Tang Shaoyi to find a way to guide the military and financial resources of the Tang Empire into the camp of the National Government. Tang Shaoyi refused and informed Zhang Meng of this matter, but could not completely offend the National Government. Therefore, Tang Shaoyi gave up Zhang Meng's position as Prime Minister of the Cabinet and helped Zhang Meng manage the Tang Empire as an advisor. In this way, the National Government could not do anything to Tang Shaoyi.

Tang Shaoyi also thought carefully and said to Zhang Meng: "Stop attack will inevitably give the devils a chance to breathe, but if they offend European and American powers, it will not be of any benefit to the future development of the Tang Empire. Now it is obvious that Britain, France, the United States and other countries are already afraid of the strength of our Tang Dynasty. If we do not restrain ourselves, these powerful people may target us in various fields. Our Tang Dynasty is indeed very strong, but after all, the establishment time is too short. At present, a stable international environment is needed to develop itself. It is unwise to make enemies from all sides!"

Tang Shaoyi is still very influential, not to mention what he said is indeed reasonable. Although everyone is unwilling to accept it, they have to consider reality.

Zhang Meng thought about it and said, "Since Mr. Tang said this, there must be his reason. This is better, we will sell the face of Britain, France and the United States and agree to mediate them, but the Japanese devils must let the bloodletter. How did they bully the Chinese back then? Today we will get back together with capital and interests. For details, we hope Mr. Tang will help us."

Tang Shaoyi nodded and said, "Your Highness is wise. I am willing to do my best to do my best. We will take things back from the negotiating table if we can't get it on the battlefield. We will definitely not have the Japanese devils."

Zhang Meng suddenly laughed a few times and said, "Mr. Tang knows my heart well, so let me leave this matter to you for the rest of my life!"

Tang Shaoyi immediately took the order and said, "I will fulfill my mission!"
Chapter completed!
