Chapter 1062 Americans' Weapon of Revenge

Just over a dozen hours after Colonel Genda Shimi felt that the Japanese Empire was unable to defeat the American behemoth, on Oahu Island, which was more than 11,000 kilometers away from Paleonia, Japanese Army General Tomofumi Yamashita now felt the same way.

As the commander of the Japanese Army's Hawaiian Front, he felt for the first time that the Hawaiian Islands were likely to be unable to defend. Because thousands of American fighter jets that took off from aircraft carriers and Niho Island also rushed towards Oahu. Unlike the ammunition released in many previous air strikes, the Americans used unconventional ammunition mustard gas bombs and anthrax spore bombs during the large bombing on June 4, Hawaiian time (the Japanese do not know that the US military has dropped anthrax spore bombs) were dropped by more than 100 b-24 and b-17 bombers that took off from Niho Island.

General Tomofumi Yamashita insisted on standing in a cover at the top of the command post located in the mountain, wearing a gas mask, and watched the ground-air battle outside with a telescope from the inner horoscope. Although the American air strikes were fierce, they could not overwhelm the firepower of the Oahu defenders. Moreover, the infantry were hiding in perfect and solid fortifications. Even if the opponent dropped tens of thousands of tons of bombs, there would be no serious casualties. However, what the Americans dropped now was not ordinary bombs, but poisonous gas bombs that emitted yellow poisonous smoke!

The general at the foot of the mountain has received a report that the American plane dropped a mustard gas bomb, which has caused harm to some unprepared anti-aircraft gunners, and was killed and injured by poisoning smoke. Now, the army hospitals on Oahu are full of wounded people burned by mustard gas, covered in water, and wailing painfully. Some have also become blind by poisoning, desperate and helpless.

Yamashita Takafumi, who has a good understanding of the poison gas war on the European battlefield during World War I, knows that the current poison gas attack is just the beginning! The real poison gas war will appear after the landing battle officially begins.

The poisonous smoke of mustard gas will cover the Japanese army's positions day and night (poisoned smoke in the war often lasts for several hours), until the Japanese officers and soldiers wearing gas masks are seriously injured...

Moreover, the US military has now completely ignored the threat of Japanese bacterial weapons in the big cities on the West Coast, and has brazenly used chemical weapons on Oahu, which shows that the Americans have now made the greatest determination to use all means to defeat or force Japan in the shortest time.

Of course, the samurai of the Great Japanese Empire is not afraid of anything! Even if the Americans have terrible nuclear fission weapons, the Japanese samurai can defeat them.

But...what does such a war mean to Japan?

General Tomoto Yamashita was the core figure of the Japanese Army. Of course, he knew that the Americans had asked for peace from Japan now, and the conditions were pretty good, so he just asked to take back the Hawaiian Islands.

Is it worth the lives of more than 200,000 army officers and soldiers who have been killed in the Hawaiian Islands, which are 6,000 kilometers away from Tokyo?

The current Japanese Empire is not a small country with only more than 300,000 square kilometers at the time, but a great country with more than 5 million square kilometers. Why bother to fight endlessly for the Hawaiian Islands and the Americans?

Thinking of this, Yamashita Fengfu turned his head and said to a former staff officer of the Front Command wearing a gas mask: "Go to generate electricity for the military and tell the Americans to use mustard gas on the Oahu Royal Army officers and soldiers... Now, Honolulu has been shrouded in the mustard gas from the US military, and our Imperial Army soldiers have suffered heavy casualties!"

Just when Oahu was attacked by American biological and chemical weapons, the night had already drooped on the sea surface of the northern part of Kyushu Island, thousands of miles away from Oahu Island. A sea beast cast by steel quietly surfaced under the cover of the night and slowly sailed towards the sparsely lit direction in the distance.

This is an American "Little Shark" class submarine with an underwater displacement of 2,424 tons and a displacement of 1,526 tons during floating, almost equivalent to a small destroyer.

Since the US Navy was at a disadvantage on both sides for a long time, this "Little Shark"-class submarine was manufactured in large quantities and became a powerful equipment for the US Navy to conduct breakthrough combat and fight against opponents. Especially in the Pacific battlefield, due to the serious lack of anti-submarine and anti-mine capabilities of the Japanese Navy, American submarines have the opportunity to show their skills. Either using torpedo attacks, laying mines, or simply floating on the surface of the Shanghai area with deck cannons, it can always cause heavy losses to the Japanese ships and cannot be defended.

However, now I sneaked quietly to the northern part of Kyushu, Japan. The densely populated American submarine near the coastal area of ​​Fukuoka Prefecture was not for breaking the relationship. They are secret weapons used by the US Navy to attack Japan!

On the narrow deck of this "Little Shark" class submarine, a twelve-mounted MK.51 rocket launcher was installed, which was actually a rocket launcher.

The ammunition used by this rocket launcher is a 5-inch high-speed self-rotating rocket with high accuracy. It has four types of rockets with different ranges, including 2500 yards (2286 meters)/5000 yards (4572 meters)/10000 yards (9144 meters). In addition, the warheads of this 5-inch rocket can also be selected, with 4 types of warheads that can be selected, namely high-explosive warheads, white phosphorus combustion warheads, anthrax spore warheads and mustard gas warheads!

Before the Japanese attacked the west coast of the United States with bacterial weapons, the mk.51 rocket launcher had no plans to install a submarine. This weapon was originally intended to be installed on the landing ship to support the US military's landing in the Hawaiian Islands. Moreover, the Americans did not design mustard gas warheads and anthrax warheads for rocket launchers at that time.

However, after Japanese bacteria invaded the United States, Roosevelt, who was angry and embarrassed, was determined to take all measures to take revenge.

Therefore, various strange-shaped "revenge weapons" were designed by the military industry, among which the strange combination of submarines and rocket launchers attracted the most attention. Because submarines are the only weapon in the hands of Americans that can get close to Japan, and the power of 5-inch rockets is not small, at least much larger than that of 3-inch deck cannons. Moreover, the speed of ammunition is also faster. 12 rockets are fired at a time, and after one or several rounds of volleys, they immediately float up and down, and the opponent does not even have time to counterattack.

In order to increase the power of the 5-inch rocket, the crazy US Navy Department threw ordinary loading warheads aside from the beginning, and only equipped a few experimental "rocket launcher submarines" with white phosphorus warheads, anthrax spore warheads and mustard gas warheads.

Tonight, the "Babu", one of the test boats, is the "Babu", which is one of the underwater displacement of more than 2,400 tons, now carries 120 rockets filled with burners, anthrax spores and mustard gas!

When the "Bab" rocket artillery submarine floated out of the sea and began to approach the target of attack. The hatch door on the back of the submarine island was pushed open, and the first mate of the boat, Lieutenant William Walker, brought a few sailors wearing life jackets, steel helmets, and carrying 5-inch rockets on his shoulders, drilled out, and took three steps at the shaking submarine deck in three steps, and soon arrived at the edge of the mk.51 rocket artillery that was fixed to the deck facing the port side.

"Hurry, hurry up, move quickly!" Lieutenant Walker shouted, while checking the launch frame quickly, and then personally turned the handle to adjust the launch angle several times. Because the space on the submarine deck was limited, the mk.51 rocket launcher installed on it could only adjust the shooting angle and could not adjust the left and right. Therefore, before launching the rocket, the submarine had to aim the port side at the target. Of course, this kind of fighting style was not very accurate, but it was enough to attack densely populated coastal towns.

"Okay, load the ammunition quickly! Let the Japanese know how powerful the United States is!" Lieutenant Walker adjusted the launch angle and immediately called on the sailors to reload.

Their target this time is Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, a densely populated seaside city. The submarine will launch rockets from 8,000 meters from the coast (almost in the city). It is impossible to hit the target. The question is whether it can take a few more rounds?

Four white phosphorus incendiary bombs, four mustard gas bombs and four anthrax bombs were quickly loaded into place. Lieutenant Walker and his subordinates ran back to the submarine's island. The captain Vlaki, who was watching the loading of the island, immediately issued an order to open fire.

As the current activated the rocket's thrust, 12 rockets flew into the air for the first time, dragging the orange-red tail flames to break through the night sky and flew to the coastal city of Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan about 8 kilometers away. In just a dozen seconds, clusters of orange and white fires suddenly rose among the wooden houses where the Japanese lived!

The first thing that fell was 4 white phosphorus inflammable bombs. The single body not only contained flammable white phosphorus, but also had a large amount of viscous agent that could stick to the human body and wooden buildings to burn, and soon ignited a large area of ​​houses.

What fell behind were the even more terrifying mustard gas bombs and anthrax bombs! Yellow poisonous smoke and anthrax spores that could not be distinguished by the naked eye filled the air. The Japanese people who were awakened by the sudden explosion and fire rushed out of their wooden houses and rushed into the toxic air...
