Chapter 226 Namo Gatling Bodhisattva (Third update, please subscribe)

Gatling!

Namo Gatling Bodhisattva!

It was a big gift prepared by Li Yian for Little Japan. He had spent a lot of time on giving gifts to Little Japan.

There is no such thing as too many good gifts.

What is this response?

It was the so-called "kamikaze attack" in Little Japan. Why did the United States finally accept Japan's relatively "conditional" surrender in another world?

To put it bluntly, the madness of little Japan makes it difficult for the United States to accept the losses caused by attacking Japan - even after two atomic bombs, Japan is still unwilling to surrender, at least unwilling to surrender unconditionally.

What made Americans believe that the Japanese would fight to the death was the so-called "Kamikaze Attack" - during the Battle of Okinawa, the scene of thousands of planes launching suicide attacks one after another was really shocking.

When have humans ever seen such a beastly fighting style?

In the suicide attack on Okinawa, the morale of the U.S. Navy was severely damaged-the casualties even exceeded the Pearl Harbor incident!

As an ambitious young man who has been committed to the Allied forces landing on the Japanese mainland and turning the Japanese mainland into a scorched earth, Li Yian will naturally not allow this to happen.

What could stop those suicide attack planes?

The most common anti-aircraft weapons of later navies gave him inspiration.

It’s definitely not a missile, but the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Namo Gatling Bodhisattva!

Namo Gatling Bodhisattva, with six pure high-explosive bombs, one breath of six thousand six hundred times, saves the world with great compassion.

This guy can be used to intercept anti-ship missiles. Wouldn't it be a piece of cake to use it to deal with suicide aircraft driven by the Japanese?

So, he immediately instructed Carl Metal Company to develop a Gatling-type machine gun!

In fact, it is not about development at all, but redevelopment - as early as World War I, Germany developed the Fokker-Leimberger Gatling aviation machine gun. It fired 7.92mm Mauser rifle rounds with a rate of fire of up to 7000 rounds per minute!

Although it was an old item from the First World War, thanks to the rigidity and seriousness of the Germans, the search team easily found the drawings from the First World War in the factory archives, and even hired German engineers to learn from the drawings from the First World War. The drawings designed a 20mm caliber, six-barreled Gatling-type high-speed machine gun. After the preliminary tests were completed in Germany, the drawings were flown to the United States overnight and were produced by Carl Metal Company.

Just like this, a weapon of multinational cooperation was newly released. Although there may be a certain gap in performance from the Vulcan cannon more than ten years later, it is definitely epoch-making in this era.

As soon as it appeared, it really blinded the eyes of the US Navy. Although this type of Gatling gun did not have a fire control radar, it could easily break a suicide attack aircraft into pieces with its ultra-high rate of fire.

Faced with its abnormally powerful firepower, the U.S. Navy, which was suffering from Japan's "kamikaze attack", seemed to have found a treasure and directly placed an order for 5000 of them without further testing. !

The contractors are not only Carl Metal Company, but also many other manufacturing companies. All companies are required to complete the orders in the shortest possible time. After all, the front line is now in urgent need of such weapons to block Japanese suicide planes.

The first batch of "Vulcan" guns produced were even flown directly from the United States to Okinawa using C54 transport aircraft, and installed on high-value warships, such as aircraft carriers.

It has to be said that when faced with a crisis, American imperialism can also change its bureaucratic style. After all, the landing on Japanese soil is imminent.

In this way, the United States and even the entire world are making final preparations for the upcoming "Operation Olympics."

In the newly recaptured Lianyungang, a large number of troops equipped with American equipment are boarding landing ships in a steady stream. They will go to Okinawa, where they will receive training and launch the final attack on the Japanese mainland with the US military.

They have been walking from China to Japan for eight years, and now they are finally at the last minute.

Next stop, Tokyo!

Just when millions of soldiers are excited and excited about the upcoming eight-year agreement, Li Yi'an, who is far away in Borneo, is also paying attention to Japan. There is no way, he doesn't care about people in Japan these days. They are from Tang Dynasty!

"Li Mei, classmate Li Mei, how many things did you leave for me..."

The reason why Li Yian sighed like this was because he was lying on his desk, looking for valuable targets - targets that had not been burned by the barbecue master.

I have to say that Li Mei is definitely a good student who loves to learn and is proactive in making progress. He burned 67 of the 65 cities in Japan. The other two cities, Kyoto and Nara, survived. To put it bluntly, it was because of the Allies. Too kind-hearted, thinking that there are too many ancient monuments, included them in the protection scope.

Although we still have two cities left for ourselves, we are also kind-hearted people, so we should look for other goals. . But the other 65 cities have almost been burned by the barbecue master. It can be said that Japan is now full of familiar people.

However, now the US military's bombing has stopped - Truman ordered the implementation of the second phase of the "Hunger Campaign". As early as the first half of the year, the US military began to implement the "Hunger Campaign" - using B29 bombers to airdrop 1.5 mines Block traffic lines in the waters surrounding Japan. After being blocked by mines, Japan's total imports of materials dropped by 90%, and the supply of strategic materials such as oil, coal, and grain was basically cut off. The people were starved of food and the industry was paralyzed.

The successful implementation of the "Battle of Hunger" almost completely cut off Japan's vital maritime transportation. This is why Li Yi'an never worried that starving Japan would snatch food from China, because historically in Northeast and North China And tens of millions of tons of grain are crowded and backlogged in the ports of Southeast Asia, but the biggest problem is that it cannot be transported back. Even if the ship is found, it will either be sunk by a submarine or mined. As a result, Little Japan is still a hungry person!

In this world, mine blockade is only the first stage of the plan, and the most deadly is the second stage-spreading farmland on the Japanese archipelago with diluted "Agent Orange". The plan is to be implemented from September. September is the grain filling period of Japanese rice. Spraying defoliants can effectively reduce rice production and may even lead to a complete harvest.

According to U.S. estimates, after the use of 50 tons of "Agent Orange" for spraying operations, Japan's rice production is expected to decrease by more than 50%.

And what does this mean?

Japan's grain output in 1942 was 1020 million tons. At that time, it needed to import 180 million tons per year to ensure domestic demand. Affected by the war, its grain output in 1944 was only 800 million tons. If it were reduced by half, it would be 400 million tons...

According to U.S. calculations, by then the per capita ration of Japanese people will be less than 500 grams, and more than 80% of the people will be hungry. If Japan does not surrender, more than 1000 to 2000 million people will soon die from famine!

2000 million people starve to death, which is really scary for Japan, a country with a native population of 7000 million.

However, for Li Yian, this is a great thing that cannot be found even with a lantern.

Adhering to the principle of never stopping doing good deeds, Li Yi'an set his sights on Japan again - now Li Mei only focused on spraying operations and had no time to barbecue. This made Li Yi'an, who had no acquaintances in Japan, a little bit unable to sit still.

Of course, the reason why I can't sit still is that the bomber units trained in the United States have completed all training. About to fly back to Borneo.

"My bombers are coming..."

bomber!

There are a full 100 B24 long-range bombers, and 24 Lancaster bombers should be added!

124 bombers are enough to carry hundreds of tons of incendiary bombs!

Dropping these bombs in Japan will definitely give you a lot of acquaintances there.

Just thinking about it makes people feel very exciting!

For Li Yi'an who has no acquaintances in Japan, isn't this the time to go find acquaintances?

So naturally I set my sights on Japan. The only question was...where to bomb?

It’s hard to choose a place!

The main reason was that Li Mei, the barbecue master, was so good at his job that she didn't leave much choice for him.

"Where is it burning..."

Staring at the aerial photos taken by the Allied forces and looking at the Japanese cities burned to the ground, Li Yian felt a little melancholy.

What is the most painful thing for people?

There is no use for it!

Now he deeply understands this feeling, maybe because God pity him, finally, he found a suitable target among thousands of aerial photos!
