Chapter 695: White Scarf: The Third Atomic Bomb!! (Part 1)

The destruction of Hiroshima caused great shock to the Japanese government and opposition. Several cabinet members led by the Foreign Minister of Togo suggested that Japan be in a standstill and accept the Potsdam Proclamation. However, this opinion was fiercely opposed by the Japanese military, who defended:

The Japanese army is highly morale, with millions of troops eager to fight, and they may refuse to surrender even if the government announces a ceasefire. The two factions are in stalemate.

Just as the Japanese cabinet held meetings again and again on whether to make a ceasefire, the United States was ready to throw the second atomic bomb. The US government was worried that the Hiroshima atomic bomb explosion would arouse the Japanese's will to resist, and at the same time, it was afraid that the bombing would be regarded as the United States was now in trouble, so it decided to use the "fat man". The target was Okura.

The second airdrop mission fell on the Sweeney crew of the 509th Mixed Brigade. Sweeney once led his crew to fly the "Master of Art" observation aircraft to conduct the bombing effect observation mission during the Hiroshima bombing. Since the "Master of Art" still retained the scientific instruments on this time, it will be used as an observation aircraft again. Sweeney had to use another B-29 aircraft, "Bok Car", as an atomic bomb carrier.

At 3:39 am on August 9, the "Bock Car" carried the "Fatty" from Tinian Airport and flew towards Japan. Sweeney prayed again and again, hoping that he would be as lucky as Paul Tibbets.

However, things didn't go well. Shortly after the plane took off, it was discovered that a fuel tank had a malfunction and 600 gallons of fuel might not be used. Sweeney roughly estimated the range and believed that the fuel was basically enough, so he decided to continue flying.

When the "Bok Car" flew to the confluence point above Iwo Huang Island, the other two observation and camera planes that took off early should have been waiting to meet with him, but he only encountered one of them.

Sweeney waited there for 30 minutes but still saw another flight, so he resolutely flew towards Okura.

At 9:5, the "Bok Car" flew over Kokura. On that day, the air conditioning in Kokura was very poor, the sky was covered with thick clouds, the ground was filled with thick smoke, and the visibility was extremely low. The "Bok Car" hovered over Kokura for three weeks, but still could not find the aiming point No. 5 arsenal.

At this time, Kokura's ground air defense forces fired intensive anti-aircraft artillery fire, and Sweeney had to increase the flight altitude.

When Sweeney decided to enter the sky above Kokura again to search for targets, he received a report from the radio operator: Judging from the frequency of intercepted Japanese interceptors, fighter jets may take off to intercept.

There was a panic on the plane. Sweeney turned the head of the plane and flew southwest before he could contact the base. He decided to bomb Nagasaki instead. After leaving Okura, he ordered to send a report to the base: "There is no bomb dropping over Okura, so bomb Nagasaki instead."

At 10:28, the plane arrived over Nagasaki. It happened that Nagasaki was also cloudy this day, and he failed to find the target even after entering Nagasaki for the first time.

The pointer of the fuel meter dropped sharply, and Sweeney was extremely nervous. He decided to drop the "fat man" anyway when entering the second time, so he announced to the onboard staff: "Switch to radar aiming, prepare to drop bombs and return."

The bomber Kmit Bihan is also a veteran like Fei Abi. When he was about to change to aim with a radar instrument, he suddenly found a large gap between the two clouds under him. Through the gap, he could clearly see the aiming point. He immediately notified Sweeney that he could conduct visual bombing. At 10:58, the "Fatty" left the "Boke Car" and flew towards Nagasaki.

The explosion equivalent of the "fat man" is larger than that of the "little boy", but the terrain of Nagasaki is surrounded by mountains on three sides, so the loss is less than that of Hiroshima. According to Japanese statistics, nearly 70,000 people died and more than 60,000 were injured.

Two atomic bombs almost completely defeated the already extremely fragile heart of the Japanese.

In another period of history, Japan was originally hit by two atomic bombs, and then Japan announced its surrender. World War II was completely over because of Japan's surrender.

But this is another new era.

One is an era that belongs to Zheng Yong, and the other is a new era that belongs to the Chinese nation!

Now, this era has come to China with great strides!

August 10, 1945, a day that can be remembered in the history of the Chinese nation.

The third atomic bomb: "White Scarf"!

God, no, maybe even God didn’t know that the “white scarf” existed before this, but it really existed here!

Perhaps President Roosevelt, who has passed away, or a few people in the United States, can know why, how, and under what circumstances does the "white scarf" exist.

But now President Roosevelt has left this world, and the remaining people who know the truth must strictly abide by the secret law, and it will take at least a few decades to tell the secret in their hearts.

Of course, there is another person who knows why.

Zheng Yong!

This is one of the conditions for previous comprehensive cooperation with the United States.

August 10, 1945.

The climate is very good and suitable for aircraft takeoff.

Guo Chao came, he looked at his master and smiled, laughing even louder than the master.

We must thank the master for letting myself participate in this action together.

There is nothing more exciting than this, nothing more exciting than this.

"White Scarf"!

This name will be passed down with your own name forever!!

"Well, are you all ready?"

Seeing Tibbets walking towards him, Wang Yiheng smiled and nodded.

"The king is actually very simple. Fly over the target and drop the cute bomb, and you can return smoothly. Maybe I should prepare some good wine to celebrate!"

Tibbets' relaxed tone greatly alleviated the atmosphere of some tension.

Tibbets lit a thick cigar and took a hard breath, watching the thick smoke float into the air, his expression full of pleasure and pride:

"I knew that the atomic bomb I threw killed many people, but also saved many people, so my colleagues and I only hated war, but never regretted the incident that I did at 5:15 am on August 6, 1845.

This damn war, war kills many people. That's terrible, but war has no morality at all. I never equate the dropping of atomic bombs with morality, so I slept soundly every night!"

(Tibetts' original words in an interview. Those saying that Tibetts regretted throwing an atomic bomb, alcoholism, etc. are nonsense. Tibetts never regretted it and was proud of throwing an atomic bomb.)

“Prepare to board, get ready to board!”

Voices began to sound, as if urging Wang Yiheng and the pilots around him should fulfill their glorious and sacred mission.

"I think I will never regret it!"
