The Yasukuni Shrine in Kudanzaka was also attacked by more than 20 B-29 bombers with incendiary bombs. Due to the accumulation of technology in the development of bat bombs, Americans can now control the explosion height of bombs relatively accurately without using VT fuzes. They

Of course, the accuracy and efficiency of the bomb cannot be compared with that of the vt fuze. However, both the navy and the army aviation are firmly opposed to the use of vt fuzes on bombs dropped into enemy-controlled areas. Because if for some reason, the bomb equipped with vt fuze will

The bomb did not explode, but the fuse fell into the hands of the enemy. If the enemy quickly copied the thing and installed it in the anti-aircraft gun shells, it would be a nightmare for the American bomber force.

.

Therefore, all bombs that require volley explosion are currently not allowed to use vt fuzes, but can only use timing fuzes with poorer reliability and accuracy. Under the control of these fuzes, the napalm bombs dropped by the b-29 bomber will

It will explode at a height of about 200 meters from the target, throwing 24 small bombs in all directions, and each small bomb will explode at a height of about 50 meters from the ground, and throw hundreds of bombs to the ground.

Burning napalm blocks. As long as these burning, sticky small particles fall anywhere, they can easily ignite any flammable product there. Yes, flammable products. The burning power of this thing must be

There is no way to deal with thermite that can burn through cement or the white phosphorus incendiary bomb that is almost impossible to get rid of if it gets on your body and cannot be extinguished. There is almost no effective solution other than digging out the piece of flesh.

But compared to these two things, napalm is low-cost, and it is particularly easy to use to ignite wooden buildings like those in Japan. Today, more than twenty B-29s dropped napalm incendiary bombs in the sky above the Yasukuni Shrine.

They exploded one after another, and countless fire seeds were sprayed down. From a distance, it looked like a rain of fire, which looked extremely beautiful.

Kanai Takeo is a night watchman at the Yasukuni Shrine, and it is his turn to be on duty that night. In fact, there is nothing to do on this kind of duty. A few years ago, there were thieves who broke into the Yasukuni Shrine at night to steal things.

But the person who did that kind of thing was a lowly "Three Kingdoms" (the Japanese's contemptuous name for the Koreans and Taiwanese who were under Japanese rule at that time). The authentic descendants of the Yamato of Great Japan would never do such a thing.

The thing happened. The "Three Kingdoms" was caught on the spot, and then immediately dealt with on the spot by the people who came after hearing the news. But now, those "Three Kingdoms" who are not loyal to Japan have long been cleared out from Tokyo.

, there will definitely be no one coming here to steal things now.

Takeo Imai changed the first gate. The first gate of the current Yasukuni Shrine was newly built. The gate originally built in 1921 was made of copper and iron, but in 1943, due to the shortage of materials during the war,

Due to the shortage, the gate was dismantled and used to make guns. Then the Japanese used wood to build the current one on the original site.

At this time, Takeo Imai suddenly heard the shrill cry of the air defense siren. When the Japanese today hear this sound, they are not as calm as they were during the Doolittle Air Raid in 1942. At that time, the Japanese were stunned after the air defense siren sounded.

I thought it was an exercise, and even went to an open place to watch, but now, this is not the first time that a Japanese city has been bombed. All Japanese people know that this kind of alarm is no joke.

Before Kanai could wake everyone up, the American bombs fell. As the incendiary bombs exploded in mid-air, countless dark red fires sprinkled down like raindrops, falling all over the ground in the shrine.

Yes. The fire that fell on the roofs and trees in the courtyard quickly ignited these wooden buildings, as well as the garden trees with dry branches and leaves in winter. Even Takeo Imai had a fire on his body.

It was still February, and it was still very cold in Tokyo in February. Kanai, who was keeping watch at night, was wearing a thick cotton coat. The sticky fire stuck to his right arm of the cotton coat and burned quietly. Kanai touched it with his hand.

For a moment, he wanted to get it off. But who knew that this sticky jelly-like thing would be smeared all over the entire right arm of the cotton-padded coat by his caress. Then the entire right arm would suddenly squirt.

It started burning, and the flames soared several feet high in almost the blink of an eye. Fortunately, Kanai reacted quickly, and he immediately threw away his cotton-padded clothes. As a result, the flames only burned off half of his hair and eyebrows.

The architecture of Yasukuni Shrine is not much different from other Japanese shrines. They are all made of wooden structures. Once these buildings burn, it is almost impossible to put them out. So the priest woke up in a panic

They quickly made a decision - now, the most important thing is to rescue those important collections. First of all, the most important thing is the "Ling Xi Book" in Feng'an Hall.

The so-called "Prince Seal Book" is a record of the names and information of the deceased used for sacrifice. Since the Meiji Restoration, the number of people who "died for the emperor" has exceeded one million, and the names and information of these people are all recorded in it.

, for sacrificial purposes. If these things are burned, who can the Yasukuni Shrine still worship in the future? If any of these things are burned, it will definitely cause a major blow to the morale of the Japanese army. So, now, the most important thing is

The only thing is to grab these things.

However, the fire developed very quickly. In almost the blink of an eye, the roof of Lingxibu Fengan Temple was on fire. The flames rose upwards, dozens of meters high. The burning beams made crackling sounds.

In the rush, the Japanese did not have time to find gas masks or other things. Kanai and some other people just poured buckets of water on themselves and rushed into the burning hall.

There was thick smoke billowing in the main hall. Jinjing covered his mouth and nose with a wet towel and stumbled towards the place where the Imperial Seal Book was stored. The thick smoke not only blocked his sight, but also irritated his eyes, causing tears to flow continuously.

Wells poured out from his eyes, and then were dried by the steaming heat. The burned rafters kept falling from above with flames. A young man who rushed in behind Jinjing was hit by a falling belt.

The flaming rafter hit his head and fell silently into the fire. Another person following this person tripped to the ground, dropped the towel covering his mouth and nose, and then inhaled

After taking several puffs of poisonous smoke, the man got up with a violent cough, and then slowly fell down again.

Kanjing rushed to the place where the Imperial Seal Books were placed, the shelves holding the wooden boxes containing the Imperial Seal Books, and the wooden boxes were already burning. At this time, Kanjing's clothes were already soaked with a bucket of water.

It was dry, and even smoke was coming out. As for the wet towel covering his mouth and nose, it had long since lost its effect. Kanai held his breath and rushed over, holding up a burning wooden box with both hands. The wooden box was rising.

The flames immediately ignited the clothes on his chest. Kanjing endured the severe pain and turned around, holding the wooden box and preparing to run outside. But when he turned around, he stumbled with a man behind him.

The guys who rushed in collided with each other. The two of them were knocked to the ground together. The wooden box in Jinjing's hand was thrown out and fell to the ground. The wooden box was immediately smashed into pieces, and the seal books inside were thrown out.

, and then quickly burned, turning into flying ashes almost instantly.

At the same time, the two people who fell also loaded the wooden shelves. These wooden shelves that were already burning could not withstand such impact and were immediately smashed. The boxes rolled down and hit more shelves.

More boxes were broken. The flames instantly rose several meters high, almost touching the roofs that were exposed to the sky.

At this time, more people rushed in, but at this time, the entire roof collapsed with a roar, and everyone was trapped underneath.

…

The fire in Tokyo caused a flame hurricane. The heated air in the fire scene rose rapidly, and the surrounding air flowed towards the fire scene at high speed, forming a huge whirlwind. In this whirlwind, the flames soared to a height of several hundred meters. In the center of the fire scene

In the area, the temperature has risen to more than 3,000 degrees, which is equivalent to the effect of thermite incendiary bombs.

The rising hot air has even affected the bombing of subsequent bombers. Under the impact of the strong updraft, the subsequent bombers cannot even lower their altitude. The huge B-29 bomber is like a piece of paper, being pushed by the airflow.

, one flew upwards, flying higher and higher. In addition, the speed of the airflow below was very high, and the wind force even exceeded level 12, which resulted in the accuracy of the bombs they dropped being completely unguaranteed. However, at this time, their incendiary bombs were not at all

There is no need for any precision, and even their incendiary bombs have become redundant. The fire field itself will continue to devour the nearby area at an alarming speed.

At this time, on a B-29 bomber that was still hovering at high altitude, Ron and Li Mei stared at the scene below in stunned silence.

"Good guy, this is really... I feel like we have opened the door to hell and let hell appear directly in the human world." Li Mei, who has always been known for being calm and ruthless, said something like this, "If we have this war,

If we are not victors, tonight alone, Ron, we will all become war criminals."

"Yes, we have opened the door to hell. But we have opened the door to hell in order to put back the devils who have been smuggled out of hell." Ron said, "We only came at the call of the Lord.

Just a knight of the apocalypse."
