My own war game

Chapter 322 Day of Judgment
Above the clouds, the Great Inventor B-29 bomber responsible for surveying and filming was adjusting its posture.

"We have entered Japanese airspace. Communications will be silent in one minute! Repeat the one-minute silence."

Captain Frank Archibald put down the microphone in his hand, and suddenly heard the navigator's call in his ear: "Boss, according to my observation, the Ibonawa seems to have deviated slightly from the planned direction."

Archibald's eyelids jumped, and he immediately asked, "Are they off course?"

"It's not really off course, it's just a little off, it's within the error range." The navigator thought for a moment and then added, "If they continue on their current trajectory, they'll probably pass by the outskirts of the target city. Should we remind them?"

The captain was about to give an order to inform Ibonava, but the red communication light on the side came on, which meant that they had arrived in enemy airspace and the flight team implemented communication silence.

Archibald hesitated for a moment and confirmed with the navigator again, "Are you sure they are just slightly off course?"

"Yes, the deviation within the range of gyro positioning can be corrected by visual inspection." The navigator said affirmatively.

"Then there's no need to communicate. I believe they can handle it themselves." Feeling that the situation was not serious, Archibald finally decided to abide by the communication security discipline.

At this time, the Ibonava also discovered the problem.

"Paul, there seems to be something wrong with the gyroscope. We seem to be a little bit deviated from the expected direction." said the co-pilot.

Tibbets glanced at the scenery outside the window, then used the communicator to say, "Ford, is it necessary to calibrate our current route?"

After shouting twice, there was no response from the other side. The co-pilot, Major Lei, had to go back to the cockpit to see what was going on. What he saw was the navigator, Walter Ford, rubbing his face with his hands.

His eyes were bloodshot.

"Hey, man, what's wrong with you? How do you feel?" Lei ran over and supported his companion.

"Sorry, sir, there seems to be something wrong with my eyes. Everything in front of me is blurry and I can't see clearly." Walter Ford tried to open his eyes, but soon failed.

"Are you feeling any other discomfort? Like nausea? Dizziness?" Lei was most afraid that the other party had cerebral edema due to changes in air pressure, which is usually fatal.

"No, other than my vision being affected, I don't feel any discomfort."

The major was relieved to hear that Ford was not seriously injured. It was just a temporary loss of eyesight, which was not a big problem.

He then went back to the cabin. "Ford has some problems with his eyes. There is no way to correct it manually. Either we rely on ourselves or we need radio navigation..."

At this moment, a female voice broadcast in English at the airport:

"This is Kokura City Radio Channel 5, and the short poem "If I Were a Bird" is playing now."

"When I just can't find my way"

"You are always there for me"

“When I am out of my way”

"You are always there for me"

...............

“Like a bird in the sky”

"You set me free" (The lyrics are too long and it looks like water writing, excerpted from the song of the same name.)
Captain Tibbets took out the note from his pocket and quickly checked it. "The code is correct. It's this direction. Use the radio for navigation."

Then, with Midoriko's clear voice, the Ibonava was guided and accelerated toward the north.

Twenty minutes later, Tibbets discovered that the city of Kokura appeared to the right of his plane - it was not on their flight path, and right in front of him he saw a building with an antenna that looked like a radio station and metal reflections on it.

What to do? The so-called broadcast center seems to be out of the city, so the effect of the bombing cannot be guaranteed. Adjust the route and return to bomb the city of Kokura?

Or attack directly on the radio station as Marshall requested?
While Tibbets was struggling with this, he discovered that there were dozens of houses that looked like military barracks next to the radio station, and there were more than a dozen large jars inside.

A very suspicious target. Perhaps this is the purpose of the military deliberately adjusting the explosion point of the atomic bomb.

The balance in my heart instantly tilted to the other side.

"Everyone, wear goggles!"

"Target! The radio station and suspicious building ahead!"

"Unhook the safety and prepare to drop the bomb!"

The bomb bay door opened and the little boy took position.

Under the crosshairs of bombardier Thomas Philby's bombsight, a group of suspected military buildings were about to enter the red circle.

"Guys, everything that's going to happen next will be recorded. If there's anything you want to be recorded in history books, say it now," Philby said in a joking tone.

The people in the cabin looked at each other and shrugged, indicating that they had nothing to say.

Suddenly, the engineer Battelle, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said

"This is the day of judgment for the devil."

Philby looked at his partner, a little surprised, but quickly said, "OK! This is a cool line, then it's time to kick off."

The little boy was disarmed, the fuse was pulled, and the timer started!
The next second, the first actual atomic bomb fell from the plane, then fell forward with its front end facing downward.

The B-29 bomber suddenly became 4 tons lighter and rose up suddenly. Tibbets pulled the joystick and made the entire plane turn sharply.

Someone glanced back and saw that there seemed to be a crowd of ants gathered on the playground of the military camp, as if they were looking up at the sky.

Suddenly, the whole sky began to become dazzling, and the horrifying sound came after a while!

Accompanied by a high temperature of six thousand degrees, the little boy exploded in mid-air!
The dazzling light filled the entire cabin, and even with protective goggles, everyone could still feel the blazing heat. There were crackling sounds at the back of the cabin, and the plane began to shake, which was the result of the shock wave.

Everyone looked back again, and the location of the previous target point seemed to have been hit by a doomsday punishment. Not only the impact point, but also a radius of about three kilometers, including part of the suburbs of Kokura city, changed its appearance instantly.

The city was covered in a terrible cloud of smoke...it was like the water was boiling.

The shock wave spread and a huge mushroom cloud rose!

Humanity has officially opened their Pandora's box.

No one in the cabin spoke for a while, only the sound of machinery running.

Finally, Commander Tibbets turned around and said, "Gentlemen, the mission has been accomplished. Now let's go back..."

Boom boom boom!!! Click!!! Click!!! Click!!! Click!!!

Suddenly, an unusual noise was heard in the plane, and then the entire aircraft began to shake.

Tibbets hurriedly turned to grab the joystick, but the experienced Air Force colonel discovered to his horror that their altimeter was beginning to drop continuously.
