The Fourth Disaster, Starting from the Movie Eight Hundred

"We can learn more from the volunteer soldiers in this regard. They are very willing to share their experience with us."

"Great, I must definitely seize this opportunity."

Reporters and representatives from European and American countries kept exclaiming. When the Volunteer Army began to display its equipment, the faces of the Soviet and German representatives were not very good, but the Volunteer Army had given them an answer before, and the answer was very classic.

"Given the relatively fixed laws of physics, there are only a few routes to the right path. It's normal to have many similarities, but it's not a complete copy-paste."

It was impossible for the Soviet and German representatives to dismantle the heavy equipment and take a look, so they could only watch.

The hundreds of fighter planes and bombers flying in the sky made the Japanese reporters look very ugly. They definitely did not have any representatives coming. The Volunteer Army said that any guilty militarist representatives who came would be detained on the spot, so the Japanese side only filmed professional reporters coming. Of course, it was not certain what kind of expertise they had, but they were definitely professionals.

The United States, Britain, and France have more to consider. Britain is the troublemaker and has already begun to think about how to start. France is somewhat worried about its Asian colonies. The United States is thinking about how to profit from it, such as forcing Japan to make concessions in the Pacific direction through trade with Japan during this period.

But no matter what, a powerful armed force has rapidly risen in the ancient East, and no one can question the will and combat effectiveness of this army.

When the military parade ended, players "04A" and "Two Buns with Meat Patties" presided over the next work. Both of them were from law majors and had started preparing before. In addition, they were free to do things in the game, so the psychological burden was quite low. Each of them was in full condition to interrogate Japanese war criminals.

The entire trial process was recorded and was quite formal, but this formality was in line with the three views of the Chinese people. As for whether foreigners can accept it, I don’t care whether you can accept it or not. From today onwards, this is the world standard. If you have any opinions, keep them to yourself, or wait until the volunteer army crushes all the old forces. Then the new generation will automatically accept the profound wisdom of the past five thousand years and feel that this is what they should learn.

What's more, the Volunteer Army was well prepared. The trial site was filled with all kinds of witnesses and evidence, and a large screen was playing the content in a loop, mainly in Chinese. As for the representatives of other countries, just watch the subtitles. If you can't understand them, that's your own problem. Think about why your eyesight has deteriorated during this period. Why can't you do such a simple thing? You are useless.

Because the evidence was so conclusive and overwhelming, with fifty on-site courts of the Volunteer Army holding court simultaneously, all the war criminals were convicted in just half a day, and were uniformly hanged and executed immediately, with their portraits erected.

When they heard the news, some of the Japanese soldiers peed themselves on the spot, some collapsed and shouted, and some even pretended to be crazy. The scene was a riot, but the volunteer soldiers who were carrying out the executions did not care about these. Five hundred gallows were prepared on the spot, and they quickly dealt with these animals. The next step was the basic process. After burning their ashes, they were cast into stone statues lying on the ground, facing the direction of the Monument to the Victims of the Battle of Shanghai.

This new era of craftsmanship has left European and American countries stunned, but at this point they dare not call it barbaric, or rather they are beginning to fear that if a rising China wants to retaliate against them, then wouldn't they also...

Looking at the more than 100,000 kneeling statues outside the monument, I feel more and more scared.

Don’t think too much about it. Hanging happens in the blink of an eye. It’s normal to feel dizzy, hehe.

Just after the Shanghai Trial was completed, 04A and Two Buns with Meat Patties announced another major news.

"The Japanese army has forced our innocent people to be held hostage. This hatred is irreconcilable! From today on, the volunteer army will begin indiscriminate bombing of the Japanese mainland until the Japanese government fully recognizes its mistakes!"

As soon as 04A finished speaking, a formation of fifty B17 bombers flew across the sky and flew towards Japan amid the panicked and frantic shouts of Japanese reporters.

Chapter 62: Burning Tokyo

(First update, more to come! Please vote and comment)

Before Jimmy Doolittle's raid on Tokyo, Japan was proud of its island, where nine earthquakes struck a single day.

The biggest geopolitical advantage of being isolated overseas is that there are few neighbors around, especially when the neighbors' navy is weak, it is really comfortable. Look at how Britain lives in Europe, that is Japan's goal.

The Japanese Empire (big boo).

But now, the trend has changed. The Volunteer Army took out a B17 bomber from some unknown fourth-dimensional pocket. The Volunteer Army called the aircraft "Kunpeng", which is the famous air fortress in World War II.

However, this is the "Kunpeng" created by the players themselves, so its weapon configuration is much more luxurious than the original version. For example, the maximum flight speed has reached 500 kilometers per hour, and the engines all use coaxial reverse propellers, which directly gives the "Kunpeng" far superior maneuverability and payload to the original version. The range has also been improved, but the biggest improvement is that when the player is sitting on it, he can refuel the plane at any time. As long as it is not scrapped or shot down, the range is unlimited.

The only minor issue was that it was too noisy.

Comrades who often fly the Tu-95 know that the noise of the coaxial counter-rotating propellers has reached the point where even the US underwater sonar in Alaska can hear the noise when the Tu-95 leaves the ship. Naturally, the same problem also occurs on the "Kunpeng".

But these are minor issues. The operator just needs to wear an internal communication headset, the all-inclusive kind.

The Japanese journalists who participated in the Shanghai Trial did report the news back in a timely manner, and even the radio they used was provided by the Volunteer Army.

What’s even more infuriating is what the volunteer soldiers said when they provided the radio station.

"Calculating the time, it must have been evening when our Kunpeng arrived in Tokyo. Do you have the ability to counter air raids at night? I'm not afraid to tell you, we do, and we use incendiary bombs. You can report this information however you want; the result will be the same anyway."

This is the most satisfying part of using an overt strategy. You tell the enemy clearly what you want to do, but the other party is powerless to do anything.

Japanese reporters tried their best to report the relevant situation to their country. The whole of Japan was in an uproar, especially the Tokyo area. People said that they were heading straight for Tokyo. Moreover, the volunteer army did not care whether the Imperial Palace was within the bombing range or not. They might even deliberately bomb the Imperial Palace.

Fifty Kunpeng bombers carrying a large number of incendiary bombs and poison gas bombs began their journey to become acquainted with Japan.

As the volunteers said, when the Kunpeng formation flew to Japan, the sun had already set. The Japanese's air defense means were only searchlights combined with anti-aircraft guns, and the fighter planes took off and caught a mouse by chance.

However, Kunpeng's engine power allowed it to carry a large number of self-defense weapons, and each gun turret could fire without blind spots. The weapons were operated by players on the plane, so the blind Japanese fighter planes soon discovered in horror that the enemy's firepower was so abnormal that it was incomprehensible. Not to mention that they could hit the target every time, but at least they could get something out of a single shot.

Learn about aiming assist. As long as you spot Japanese fighter planes, a red circle will appear in front of them. Just shoot at that red circle to ensure that you can accurately hit the Japanese planes.

"shooting!"

The Japanese anti-aircraft guns on the ground roared like crazy, but it was completely useless and could not reach Kunpeng at all. Moreover, after throwing all the incendiary bombs and poison gas bombs, Kunpeng's speed could be further increased, and Japan's main aircraft models could not catch up.

The fighter jets couldn't catch up with the bombers. This scene was really funny in every sense of the word.

"Attention all crews, the Yasukuni Shrine is ahead, save some hardcore stuff!"

"Don't worry, even if there's nothing, I can exchange it for something else and throw it down."

"I'm ready to throw all the explosives in my game backpack!"

"Lower your altitude. At worst, we can just crash into it."

Soon, the Kunpeng fleet arrived at the upper room of the Yasukuni Shrine and greeted them with a barrage of incendiary bombs without saying a word.

At this time, the whole of Tokyo was awakened by the sudden disaster and was howling with ghosts. The Japanese side had never expected that the volunteers would be so brutal. They directly threw white phosphorus bombs, poison gas bombs, and napalm bombs together. In addition, the spreading poison gas could not be seen at all in the night environment. Many firefighters lay down on the spot and gradually fell into a deep sleep amidst violent coughing and screaming.

That's why we say the Yamato people are an excellent nation. Look, they run around in poison gas and high temperatures of over 1,000 degrees Celsius, and not a single one of them complains. Ordinary carbon-based creatures can't do that at all.

No wonder he didn't make a sound in the millions of degrees Celsius temperature in 1945, tough guy (smile).

Compared with the US B29 bombing at the end of World War II, the damage caused by the fifty Kunpengs was indeed great, but not too great. It can only be said that it did make the Japanese legs tremble with pain, but it would not stop their invasion.

However, when the Kunpeng fleet was about to return, all the players except the pilots jumped down directly.

There is no other intention, I just want to give the Japanese a little surprise, and players also want to know whether they can gain a foothold in Japan now.

If it is possible, it would be very cool. There are optional attack targets everywhere in Japan. You can do whatever you want. If you succeed, you will be an anti-Japanese hero. If you fail, you can also open a separate family tree. In any case, the country will have to publicize it specially. It's not a loss anyway.

The flames and poisonous gas caused the fire in Tokyo to completely get out of control. It was not until two days later that the Japanese side managed to extinguish all the open flames.

Looking from the sky at this time, Tokyo looked like a ghost face with half of its skin torn off. One side was barely visible, but the other side was a complete hell scene. The scene made all Chinese people feel comfortable.

Such a classic scene must be photographed as a souvenir. Before long, the miserable photos of Tokyo became the front page headlines of various domestic newspapers, and the whole of China was boiling again.

"To celebrate the Volunteer Army's burning of Tokyo, today's drinks are free and meals are 50% off!"

"Come, let us raise our glasses and salute the volunteers!"

"Fuck you little devils, you deserve this day!"

"The Volunteer Army is mighty!"

Lion dance teams appeared on the streets of Chongqing, and there were sounds of firecrackers. It was as lively as the Chinese New Year, or perhaps this kind of New Year is what every Chinese person longs for.

But the Nationalist government had an expression as if they had eaten shit, but the Chairman still had to attend the celebrity cocktail party with a smile on his face, saying that he, as the leader of the country, was very, very pleased, that the volunteer soldiers were really good people, and that our Republic of China was blessed.

Anyone can see that this is just a way of showing off. The chairman's smile is an effort to make the unnatural look natural. It is a little bit awkward, but most people really can't tell.

This is the basic determination of political organisms.

Some people who were already at odds with the chairman, but the chairman didn't do anything to them, used this matter specifically to squeeze him.

"This victory of the Volunteer Army is truly a glory for our Party and our country, Chairman. I'm sure you're very happy, right?"

All the chairman could say was to smile politely.

The audience was almost saying, "Chairman, please laugh. Why don't you laugh out loud? Don't you like laughing?"

At this moment, the chairman's anger was so strong that he could rap, but he couldn't let it out. If he did, it would damage his authority.

So, only people who have no ability care about face, while people who have ability always need others to give them face.

Compared with the rigidity of the Kuomintang government, the Japanese were much more straightforward.

"This is a crime, a crime against the Yamato people, and an act against humanity!"

At a press conference, the Japanese government held up photos of Tokyo burned to the ground to accuse the volunteer army, but the effect was zero.

The volunteer army’s response was very simple, just one sentence: How dare you take civilians as hostages? Let’s continue today’s story.

In response, the Japanese government stated that it would never surrender, and immediately sent a secret telegram to the Japanese commanders on the northeastern front, asking them to quickly release those Chinese civilians. Do you know that even the emperor was disturbed?

In fact, during the bombing process, the player discovered that the Imperial Palace happened to be on the bombing route, so he added some materials there.

But the Japanese imperial palace is not the huge Forbidden City, it does not have much space at all. However, due to its special nature, it was naturally the focus of rescue after the fire. At least the outline was preserved, which makes it look even more ridiculous.

There is a rumor that when Hirohito was rescued, his crotch was wet.

But some people also said that it was because the water gun accidentally sprayed on His Majesty the Emperor. Don’t keep staring at his crotch, the Emperor is all wet!

Yes, yes, yes, the emperor got wet, that’s right (nods).

Faced with pressure from home and even from the emperor, the Japanese frontline officers did not dare to disobey and had to release the people, but this meant that the volunteer army's artillery shells and planes could bomb them with impunity.

"Bagaya road!"

Japanese Second Lieutenant Koizumi raised his blackened face and cursed at the volunteer plane in the sky.

Just now, his convoy encountered the Volunteer Army's artillery fire on the road. 37mm caliber ammunition fell like raindrops, causing heavy losses to the transport vehicles in a line.

There was no other way. The snow on the wild road was half a meter thick. But the situation was urgent and we couldn't capture the Chinese as laborers and hostages, so we could only clear a narrow passage. From the air, it looked like a line, and the transport vehicle couldn't maneuver to either side. Once you turned a corner, you would get stuck in the snow and not only would you be unable to move, you might even overturn. Once you overturned, the road would be blocked, and you would have no choice but to jump out of the car and run away.

The Japanese finally felt the pain of losing air superiority and were extremely eager to regain the sky.

But this is impossible. The performance of Ki-100 is good, and the local country is indeed working hard to produce it, but the current production capacity is limited, and the loss of pilots is too great.

How big is it? The Japanese have started to give their pilots parachutes. Instead of saying that equipment is more important than people, they tell the pilots that if they find themselves in trouble, they should quickly jump out of the plane and try to escape, or seek help from the nearest Japanese army unit, and the Japanese army unit that needs help must rush to rescue them as soon as possible.

The Japanese military, which has always been human-like, has begun to anthropomorphize. It is really painful to be killed.

When it was New Year's Day in 1939, the Volunteer Army completely liberated the entire Suihua. The Japanese troops that went to Suihua for support also quickly turned to Harbin. They knew that the real battlefield was there.

No matter what, Harbin cannot be lost!

Section 63: Target 731

(Second update! Also, where are your encouragements?)

When talking about Harbin, what is the first thing that comes to your mind?

Red sausage, it has to be red sausage! Nothing can represent Harbin better than red sausage. The Ice and Snow World came later, while the red sausage came first!

But here’s a little-known fact: the origin of Harbin red sausage is the Russian “Lidos sausage”, a young product that was created after being improved. The same is true for most Northeastern dishes.

As for the Ice and Snow World, that was in 1999.

After all, the Northeast region has been a wild and desolate land outside the Central Plains for a long time.

Is there no historical cuisine in Northeast China?

Yes, there are, but people used to eat wild animals, but now they eat... Then they are guaranteed to have public food in their next life.

Special police officer Caracal Linluan reminds you: selling and eating wild animals are illegal, and the Internet is not a lawless place.

So many of today’s Northeastern dishes are actually products of the industrial age, such as Northeastern chicken racks.

This is also a prominent feature of early industrial cities: dishes must be as simple and standardized as possible, and must be high in oil and salt.

So what was Harbin like in 1939?

In name, this place was under the jurisdiction of the puppet Manchukuo, but in reality it was a colony of the Japanese. Japan implemented the "Five-Year Industrial Development Plan", which made Harbin the industrial center of North Manchuria, focusing on the development of machinery, chemicals and military industries.

But don't think that the Japanese will do anything good. They monopolized the collection and management of resources such as food, coal, timber, and medicine, which directly led to serious shortages of daily necessities for local people.

How severe can the scarcity be?

Local people can only receive ten kilograms of miscellaneous grains every month. Don’t think that this is the miscellaneous grains we understand now. Some of them are rotten and moldy grains, and there are rice weevils as "added" protein. It is barely enough to say that this is a meal to sustain life.

What's even more outrageous is that in an industrialized city, ordinary local people have to import even the most basic soap and cloth. The price of a bar of soap is equivalent to one-third of the local worker's daily wage. This is for those workers with relatively good incomes. For others, sorry, learn from the wisdom of our ancestors, wood ash is also good.

This was a state that could barely be maintained under normal circumstances. After Japan's war machine went all out, various forced labor and levies directly turned the lives of the locals into a state worse than that of beasts. Working more than 12 hours a day was considered kind of the Japanese masters, and the reward was only cornmeal that was barely enough to fill a person's stomach. It was the hard, garbage kind of flour, and there were also crushed corn cobs mixed in it. It was extremely difficult to feed a family of three.

Is that the end?

No, no, no, there are still experts out there. Consider the inflation and black market transactions. Prices in 1939 were more than three times what they were in 1937, while wages, on the other hand, hit new lows.

And this is just the least noteworthy of the countless cruel acts committed by the Japanese colonizers.

Don’t forget Japan’s slave education and the “Kwantung Army Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department” in Harbin, which also has the name “731”.

Even in relatively formal employment environments, the mortality rate is very high. For example, the mortality rate of workers in logging camps around Harbin exceeds 15%. If you don't know, you might think that they, like Catachan, have to fight the trees head-on before cutting them down.

Militarism has all-round control over the people, not just the local Chinese but also the Japanese. The only difference is that Japanese immigrants can bully the Chinese, whom they consider to be inferior creatures, thus creating a situation of mutual harm among the lower classes.

Harbin, this industrial city that looked very prosperous in 1939, was actually an oppressive industrial prison.

The sun does rise as usual, but where is the hope?
