The mainland of the empire will also become the grave of those brutal invaders, and the empire will never succumb to foreign force! "

"Here, the Imperial Kwantung Army has operated for more than ten years, and built the Hutou Mountain fortress system called the Eastern Maginot Line of Defense, which is enough to withstand the counterattack of the Soviet army."

"Here, we have a strong military industry system, a solid public foundation, and more than a million imperial troops."

"If we add military forces such as the North China Front Army and the Imperial Association Army, we can gather a strong strategic force group of 220 million."

"So no matter from which point of view, we have not yet reached the end of the mountain, and we are fully capable of keeping the last hope of the Great Sun Empire!"

"The Empire of Japan must not lose the war in humiliation, and must not accept unconditional surrender, because the Empire of Japan will fall into the abyss of eternal doom!"

"So, please let us fight until the last moment, even if there is only one soldier left, we must fight for the last chance of life for the Great Japanese Empire!"

"Gentlemen, please!"

Ishihara Waner became more and more excited as he talked, and finally started to roar, as if he really had a chance to turn against the wind.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, we will follow to the death!"

"Your Excellency, as long as you are here, we will definitely stand tall!"

"The Great Japanese Empire is favored by Amaterasu, and it will surely tide over the difficulties!"

"Hay, let us fight together!"

Ishihara Wan'er's words were extremely contagious, and everyone in the room immediately became excited, their eyes glowed fiercely, and the despair that had been sluggish before was gone.

The words just now are not only the true monologue of Ishihara Wanji's heart, but also describe a very objective current situation.

That is, the more seriously the beast is injured, the more dangerous it will be.

Although the Japanese authorities are well aware that their defeat is a foregone conclusion, they have no way of turning back, and they will never be able to "put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately." They will only fight crazily and stubbornly to the end.

Unless, they really lost all their chips and really have no strength to resist!

World War II was the largest war in human history. A total of 61 countries and more than 20 billion people were involved in the war. The combat area was 2200 million square kilometers.

According to incomplete statistics, more than 9000 million soldiers and civilians were killed or injured during the entire war, and the economic loss amounted to more than 5 trillion US dollars.

The Allied Forces paid a huge price to win the battle against fascist countries such as Germany, Italy and Japan step by step.

But until 1945, when Italy and Germany surrendered one after another, Japan was still stubbornly resisting, killing and refusing to surrender.

The base camp of the Japanese military headquarters is still clamoring for the [-] million jade broken plan, clamoring for a decisive battle with the Allied forces on the mainland.

According to American estimates, if they forcefully land on the mainland for a decisive battle and face the crazy Japanese soldiers and civilians, the US military will have to pay at least 50 sacrifices.

The base camp of the Japanese military headquarters is so crazy, one is because they are unwilling to fail like this, and the other is that they know that the Americans have always paid great attention to humanitarianism and cannot bear the huge cost of casualties like the fighting nation.

Therefore, the headquarters of the Japanese military headquarters attempted to intimidate the U.S. military so that they would not dare to land on the mainland, so as to unilaterally reach a peace with the U.S. military.

Although this kind of thinking is a bit wishful thinking, there is actually a lot of room for manipulation. You must know that when Japan was forced to announce its unconditional surrender, they still had an extremely large number of troops.

其中冈村宁次的华夏派遣军105.6万人,山田乙三的关东军为66.4万人,安台湾及先岛群岛的藤利吉第10方面军16.4万人,朝鲜上月良夫第17方面军为29.4万人,寺内寿一南方派遣军74.3万人、新不列颠岛的今村均第8方面军14万余人。

In Japan, the Sugiyama Moto 1st General Army in Tokyo, the Hata Shunroku 2nd General Army in Osaka, and the Higuchi Kiichiro 5th Front Army in Sapporo had more than 240 million people.

In addition, the Japanese Navy totaled 169.3 million men at the time of the surrender.

When the Japanese army surrendered unconditionally, the total strength of the regular army of the sea and land was still as high as 715 million.

And this has not counted the millions of puppet troops, the Imperial Association Army, and the 400 million militia volunteers in Japan.

When Japan surrendered, our country had a detailed record of Japan’s acceptance of troops. At that time, it received a total of 6 million Japanese troops in major Chinese cities such as the Japanese 23th Army in Nanjing, Jiangsu, and the Japanese 105rd Army in Guangzhou, Guangdong.

收缴的物资装备,分别为步枪685897支、手枪60377支、机枪29822挺、火炮12446门、步机枪子弹180994000发、手枪弹2035000发、炮弹2070000发,战车383辆、装甲车151辆、卡车15785辆、马74159匹;各种飞机1066架、各类舰艇1400艘。

It should be noted that this is only the Japanese military equipment in the Huaxia theater, not the Northeast where the Soviet Union sent troops to receive. Of course, most of the [-] artillery pieces are ordinary grenade launchers, but this number is also very scary .

The Kwantung Army in the Northeast, on the other hand, still maintains a scale of about 70 people even as it continues to deploy troops to the Pacific battlefield or to the mainland.

Of course, many of the newly added Kwantung Army soldiers are young people with no combat experience or veterans who have been re-enlisted, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined.

Soviet troops seized about 70 rifles, 4000 artillery pieces, 600 armored vehicles, and 800 aircraft.

And in Japan, where Japan focuses on defense, there are a total of 200 million to 300 million people. These are the most elite divisions located in the arsenals of Nagasaki Kokura and other places, and they are still producing materials continuously.

In important cities such as Tokyo, there are also a large number of anti-aircraft artillery regiments stationed.

战后美军在接受日本太平洋和本土战场日军,收缴步枪2468665支、刺刀1568254把、手枪81061支、军刀661621把、轻重机枪186680挺、火炮201244门、坦克2970辆、汽车14494辆、飞机12725架、弹药119.2万吨。

It can be seen that although Japan's defeat in the war is already a certainty, it still hides a terrifying background, coupled with the crazy samurai sword spirit of Japanese militarism, if the atomic bomb hadn't been born, the final result would definitely make the Allies unbearable.

So at this point, later generations have the following hypothetical questions:

If not for the atomic bomb, when would World War II have ended?

Will the United States, because of the heavy casualties in the war, trigger a series of chain reactions in the country, and thus let it go, or even unilaterally reach some agreements with Japan?

In this case, is the Soviet army capable of landing on the Japanese mainland and occupying the entire territory of Japan?

Some people are even asking, if Japan knows that the Americans actually only have two atomic bombs, how will they react, and will they raise their hands obediently to attack?

Chapter 1639 The Ultimate Killer

Although there are no ifs in history, and it is impossible to start over, some processes can indeed be sat down to reflect and discuss carefully.

I have to say here that if the atomic bomb hadn't blown the Japanese away, the final outcome of World War II would have been quite different.

First of all, the Americans definitely cannot accept 50 casualties, so even if the US military formulated the "Olympia Plan", they would kill Japan at the cost of casualties.

However, it is even more difficult for this plan to become a reality.

Because they have carefully studied the consequences of landing on the Japanese mainland, according to the calculations on the Pacific islands and reefs, the United States may sacrifice 100 million to 300 million soldiers to completely wipe out Japan.

The Soviet Union, on the other hand, simply did not have the ability to land on the Japanese mainland and occupy the entire territory of Japan.

在1945年8月,日本还有4艘战列舰、6艘航母、11艘巡洋舰、41艘驱逐舰和59艘正规潜艇。

其中可以立刻出战的有1艘航母、3艘巡洋舰和30艘驱逐舰,还有12艘潜艇,其他舰艇还需要2-3个月时间的维修。

The Soviet Navy has more than 8800 ships, but basically all of them are coastal and inland river boats. There are not many real warships. All three battleships are products of the Tsarist era.

在1945年8月苏联海军碰到了一个日本海军的区小队,就被日军击沉了1艘苏联海军潜艇、2艘扫雷挺、2艘鱼雷艇和7艘登陆艇。

What's more, in August 1945, Japan still had more than 8 fighters in its homeland, although most of them were suicide special attack aircraft.

The Japanese Air Force suffered heavy losses in World War II, losing more than 3 fighters in combat, and the U.S. military also lost 2.7 fighters in the Pacific.

The strength of the Soviet aviation force is generally not as good as that of the US Hainan Airlines. Therefore, if the Japanese aviation force cannot be suppressed, how can the successful landing be guaranteed?

何况在1945年8月,苏联整个海军和运输船也没有海运1个装甲集团军的实力,而日本本土有400多万军队和80万吨弹药在做防御。

Not to mention that it is impossible to occupy the Japanese mainland, even the elimination of the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Soviet Army will be very difficult.

Before the end of World War II, the Soviet military power reached its peak, while the Soviet Union's economic situation has become unprecedentedly bad, what they need most is to recuperate, rather than continue a large-scale military war.

Moreover, in the Far East, the Soviet Union's transportation capabilities and logistical supply capabilities are difficult to meet with the more than 70 Kwantung Army for a long time.

As for the Huaxia Army, let alone, until 1945, it was still in a situation of passive defense, constantly losing cities and land, and there was no way to end the war in a short period of time.

As for the current time and space, the overall situation is not too different. Although there is Yang Fan who is a system hacker, if there is no atomic bomb, the immediate war of resistance against Japan will definitely be a long-term and arduous historical task.

But then again, the world is in a state of great momentum, and there will not be so many ifs, and the historical trajectory is steadily advancing in the established direction.

On June 1945, 6, the U.S. military occupied Okinawa, and the craziest and most tragic battle on the Pacific battlefield during World War II finally came to an end.

During the Battle of Okinawa Island, the U.S. military invested a total of 24 troops. In the end, more than 2 people were killed, more than 55000 people were injured, 763 aircraft were lost, 36 ships were sunk and 368 ships were damaged, and Okinawa Island was captured.

The Japanese army defending the island ended in failure. Only more than 12 of the 7000 troops were captured, and the rest were killed in battle. Another 783 aircraft and 16 ships were lost.

In addition, about 10 people died on the island.

This battle was the battle with the largest number of casualties for the US military in the Pacific battlefield. Since then, the US military has given up landing operations in Japan, and instead used atomic bombs to bomb the Japanese mainland to force Japan to surrender.

In 1938, Hahn successfully split the uranium nucleus into two pieces, which shocked the global scientific community, and the atomic age began.

In 1942, the President of the United States decided to establish an atomic bomb research institute, located in New York, code-named "Manhattan Project".

The investment in this project is 22 billion US dollars, and more than 50 manpower have been invested.

It was not until early July 1945 that the Americans spent more than 7 billion dollars in the "Manhattan Project" and finally developed three atomic bombs, named "Big Boy", "Little Boy" and "Fat Man".

1945年7月16日上午5时24分,美国在新墨西哥州阿拉莫戈多的“三一”试验场内30米高的铁塔上,进行了人类有史以来的第一次核试验。

The "big boy" plutonium charge weighs 6.1 kilograms and has a TNT equivalent of 2.2 tons.

During the test, due to the high temperature of tens of millions of degrees and tens of billions of atmospheric pressure generated by the nuclear explosion, a 30-meter-high iron tower was melted into gas, and a huge crater was formed on the ground.

The smoke and dust from the nuclear explosion was like a cloud hanging from the sky, which was extremely terrifying.

Within a radius of 400 meters, the sand was melted into a yellow-green glass-like substance.

Within a radius of 1600 meters, all animals died.The power of this atomic bomb is nearly 20 times greater than scientists originally estimated.

The "Big Boy" nuclear explosion shocks the world and marks the end of World War II.

On July 7, the United States, the United Kingdom, and China issued the Potsdam Proclamation, an ultimatum to Japan, urging Japan to surrender quickly and unconditionally.

There were 13 articles in this announcement. The announcement announced that the war against Japan by the allies would continue until Japan stopped resisting completely, and the Japanese government must surrender immediately.

The announcement also stipulated the conditions for the allies to accept Japan's surrender, namely eradicating Japanese militarism, occupying Japanese territory, implementing the conditions of the Cairo Declaration, disarming the Japanese army, punishing war criminals, prohibiting the military supply industry, and so on.

The release of the "Potsdam Proclamation" caused the Japanese ruling group to panic, and then Japanese Prime Minister Kantaro Suzuki held a cabinet meeting for emergency discussions.

Faced with the "harsh conditions" imposed by the allies, the Japanese cabinet could not accept it, and finally decided to ignore the "Potsdam Proclamation", and always followed the established fundamental policy, resolutely marched forward to complete the Great East Asian War, and refused to surrender.

With the same formula and the same flavor, in the face of the stubborn Japanese militaristic government, the Allied Forces could only resort to the ultimate weapon: the atomic bomb!

1945年8月2日,驻关岛的美军第20航空军司令部发出秘密指令,命令天宁岛的第509混合飞行大队执行在广岛投放原子弹的任务。

8月6日凌晨1时27分,搭载小男孩原子弹的艾诺拉盖伊号开始准备起飞,1时45分飞机缓缓滑出跑道。

Chapter 1640 Finale

Prior to this, although scientists such as Einstein jointly wrote to Truman, opposing the use of atomic bombs.

But on the morning of July 1945, 7, the leaders of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union in Potsdam received a telegram and fax, and Japan formally rejected the ultimatum of the Allies' surrender terms.

The stubbornness of Japanese militarism aroused strong indignation. Out of the protection of the lives of allied soldiers, Japan was forced to surrender as soon as possible, and in order to restrain the expansion of the Soviet Union in the Far East. The United States decided to drop atomic bombs on Japan to speed up the war process.

In order to ensure the attack effect of the atomic bomb, the United States specially set up a target committee and determined three principles.

First, in the center of the city;

Second, the city has basically not been bombed on a large scale;

Third, it is conducive to the maximum killing effect of the atomic bomb shock wave.

After careful study, the military decided to choose two places to drop atomic bombs in Tokyo, Kyoto, Niigata, Kokura, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki.

No way, the United States currently only has 2 atomic bombs.

Kyoto, the ancient cultural capital of Japan, was excluded due to the need for Japanese rule after the war;

At the same time, Tokyo has been subjected to multiple large-scale strategic bombings, and has almost been razed to the ground. Except for specific protected areas, there have been no valuable bombing targets for a long time.

Tokyo is already a "city of death".

According to the United States, "dropping the atomic bomb on Tokyo is pure waste, because it is not easy to assess the damage effect of the atomic bomb."

Niigata is an important production base of aluminum products in Japan, but it is too far away to be excluded.

Kokura is an important industrial base in Kyushu, Japan, but the local weather conditions are also ruled out.

In the end, the U.S. military selected Hiroshima and Nagasaki as the targets of attack.

Hiroshima is the city of the Japanese Army and the headquarters of the Second General Army for Japan's home defense. All Japanese armies heading to China, Korea, Southeast Asia, and the Nanyang Islands set sail from Hiroshima.

Nagasaki is an important base of Japanese industry, especially shipbuilding.

After choosing the bombing target, it is only a matter of time before the atomic bomb is dropped.

At 8:6 am on August 7, the Allied weather observation plane arrived over Hiroshima.

After careful observation, the observation plane immediately contacted the Enola Gay B-29 bomber and reported: "The weather over Hiroshima is fine and fully meets the conditions for bombing."

Thus, the target of the little boy atomic bomb was finally determined, and that was Hiroshima City.

Woo~woo~woo~

But at this moment, a sharp air raid siren sounded in Hiroshima City, and the Japanese radar station alerted the uninvited passenger.

The citizens of Hiroshima have become indifferent to the usual air raid sirens, so few people take shelter in the air-raid shelters.
