Chapter 1, Bloody Valentine's Day during World War III

February [-], [-], is Valentine's Day on the Gregorian calendar.

However, under the cruel background of the outbreak of the Third World War and the collective participation of all mankind in the war without any neutral country, even this festival, which should be full of chocolates, roses, gorgeous fireworks and romantic love, has also been stained. A layer of blood-curdling blood...

——On this bloody Valentine's Day, the United States launched a strategic nuclear counterattack against the Soviet Union. Except for the Middle East, the warship carrying the atomic bomb is still floating at sea because of the long distance from the mainland of the United States. It has not yet reached the front line of the Persian Gulf. Outside of the airport, it is impossible to act simultaneously.The U.S. strategic bombers in Iceland and Alaska are all ready to attack on time with atomic bombs, one thing at a time, one thing at a time, heading straight for the Soviet Union!

The first thing that was dispatched was the road to Alaska. At noon on February 220 on the Kamchatka Peninsula, 29 five B-[-] "Super Sky Fortress" strategic long-range bombers flew from the southern part of Alaska to the United States in Dutch Harbor, the capital of the Aleutian Islands. Departing from the air force base, carrying four atomic bombs, a large number of incendiary bombs, and high-explosive bombs, they flew westward over the Bering Sea, crossed the international date line, and launched a surprise attack on the Soviet Far East!
As the capital of the Kamchatka Peninsula, Petropavlovsk Port naturally bears the brunt.In Northeast Asia, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of uninhabited land everywhere, even a superpower like the Soviet Union cannot arrange its air defense system to be airtight.It is even more impossible to deploy too many anti-aircraft artillery and aviation in Kamchatka, which is far away from the war on the European continent and is frozen for more than half of the year. The logistical capabilities cannot keep up.

Therefore, even though the early warning radar on the hills by the sea and the reconnaissance satellite in the plane of Doraemon have sent an alarm half an hour in advance, at the port of Petropavlovsk, the Soviet fighter jets that were able to take off in time to meet the enemy There are still very few—considering that the planes deployed in Kamchatka are outdated, the pilots are third-rate rookies, and the laziness that long-term peace inevitably brings, it is not bad to have fighter jets to take off to meet them.In the menacing, powerful, and durable American B-29 "Super Fortress" strategic bomber, this resistance is really a drop in the bucket.

So, in the blank eyes of the Soviets on the ground, a thick, black and hard atomic bomb was dropped from the belly of the aircraft, and then exploded in the air!

The next moment, the atomic bomb exploded at a height of 200 meters above the ground, forming a large fireball with a diameter of more than 30 meters.The people on the ground only felt the unprecedented dazzling white light, the scorching heat comparable to the surface of the sun, and the shock wave that surpassed the super hurricane, all accompanied by it.Immediately, it swept across the not-so-wide urban area of ​​Petropavlovsk, razing the entire Petropavlovsk port to the ground and burning it into a sea of ​​flames...

Although the high heat generated by the atomic bomb detonation only lasted for a fraction of a second, its temperature was as high as almost 30 degrees Celsius!Instantly melts the granite within a radius of 300 meters from the blast center.The roof tiles at a further distance also softened, turning into lumps of black or brown viscous, like heated asphalt.All the people who were close to the explosion center were burned to ashes at that moment, and the people who were a little further away were also burned to charcoal, or blinded by roasting... Some people who were farther away were not at the nuclear center. They died immediately in the flash of the explosion, but when they regained consciousness, they would find that the surrounding buildings had disappeared, leaving only endless rubble.The clothes on their bodies were also burned to tatters, and even the skin was separated from their bodies, and they were only dangling and barely hanging, which was horrifying.

——Besides the absolute death zone where no life was left near the epicenter, houses collapsed amidst the dancing of bricks, tiles and roof beams, like toy houses that had been kicked hard.Within five kilometers of the epicentre, most of the houses were flattened as if they were made of cardboard.Those in the house either died instantly or survived by some miracle, but were also surrounded by flames and smoke.Even for the few people who struggled to break through the flames and reach a safe place, more than half of them would die within 20 days due to severe radiation damage.

What happened?How did I end up in this embarrassing situation?
Second Lieutenant Reznov, who served as a prisoner-of-war camp guard in the port of Petropavlovsk, clutched his bleeding forehead, and struggled to get out of the pile of falling snow that almost buried him alive... In fact, until now So far, he hasn't figured out what happened just now.

——Just as he was sent to Kamchatka on the eve of the outbreak of the Soviet-German War and missed the entire Second World War.This time when the US bomber group nuclear bombed the port of Petropavlovsk, he also happened to take a leave of absence to dig ice and fish in the wild, so he escaped.

In this age, it is naturally impossible to have such a thing as a mobile phone, and it is impossible for Second Lieutenant Reznov, who came out of leave alone, to dig ice and fish while carrying a heavy individual radio... As a result, when it is sharp enough to shock While the air raid siren that pierced the eardrums of pedestrians echoed in the streets of Petropavlovsk Port, Second Lieutenant Reznov, who was standing on the bank of a small frozen river more than ten kilometers away, still had nothing to do with the sudden change. Know.

As a result, it wasn't until there were bursts of roaring aircraft engines in the sky, and the sound of anti-aircraft guns firing on the ground in the distance, that Second Lieutenant Reznov vaguely felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly packed his things from the river. Ready to return to the team, who knows that just climbing up a small snow-covered mound by the river bank, he was blown off by a violent shock, and then was almost buried alive by the falling snow... …

Fortunately, the snow covering Lieutenant Reznov's body was not too thick, and he didn't faint in the first time, but struggled to climb out. Although his brain was a little confused by the shock, he still couldn't reason. Thoughts, but at least he can confirm that something bad must have happened!

Could it be that the top of the mountain was bombed by an enemy plane, and then caused an avalanche, so he let himself roll to the bottom of the slope and was almost buried by snow?

But it's still far away from the city and the military camp. I didn't see any planes overhead at all just now!

While thinking about this in a daze, he picked up a branch as a crutch, and limped towards the top of the slope, and then he saw a shocking scene: a bright mushroom cloud penetrating the sky and earth, coming from Peter The direction of the port of Robavlovsk is rising!

And the scene under the mushroom cloud reminded people of a pot of boiling asphalt, and he couldn't think of a more appropriate metaphor to describe it.The city and port were out of sight, a billowing cloud of black smoke with a layer of steam from the evaporated snow.

Immediately, Second Lieutenant Reznov sat down in the snow with a "slap", and only one thought remained in his mind: war... finally came!

Moreover, it appeared in the most terrifying form of nuclear explosion from the very beginning!

Then, he couldn't help crying: "...tell me...it's not true...God...it's not true..."

In the gust of snowflakes and radiation dust, Second Lieutenant Reznov, with tears in his eyes, staggered step by step towards the mushroom cloud that had not yet dissipated, and walked towards the ruined city with difficulty, wanting to see it with his own eyes The current situation in the POW camp and in the urban area.

Although he knew that the further he went, the more dangerous he would be, but the obsession in his heart still urged him to go back there as soon as possible

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

After some time, until it was dark, Second Lieutenant Reznov stumbled back to the prisoner-of-war camp where he worked.

Although the Kamchatka Peninsula has short days and long nights in winter, and the nights come early, Second Lieutenant Reznov does not have to worry about the lighting problem at night.Because the explosion of the atomic bomb not only destroyed the urban area of ​​Petropavlovsk, but the accompanying high temperature heat wave also ignited the nearby forest, causing a terrible forest fire, which made the night sky red, and then the fire was reflected in the On the snowy ground, it was as bright as day for a while...

Fortunately, because there is still some distance between the city and the epicenter of the American atomic bomb, the prisoner-of-war camp on the outskirts of Petropavlovsk was not directly burned to ashes by the light radiation of the nuclear explosion. .However, the insufficiently strong wooden houses in the prisoner-of-war camp were still blown down by the shock wave from the nuclear explosion, and the wooden fences and barbed wire outside the prisoner-of-war camp were also turned into a mess of rubbish.There are also many dark radiation dust and ashes, floating down from mid-air one after another, and falling on the pure white snow, which is particularly eye-catching.

At this moment, amidst the tumbling flames and thick smoke, one can vaguely see many corpses scattered in disorder among the ruins of the prisoner-of-war camp—since they are still far away from the epicenter, almost none of them were directly burned to death by the flash of the nuclear explosion. He was crushed to death by collapsing houses and walls.

There are more people who survived by chance, with dazed and sluggish expressions, wandering dazedly among the ruins and in the snow—after half a day, many surviving Petropavlovsk citizens have come from He got out of the rubble in the urban area and fled aimlessly towards the suburbs.A large part of them slowly came to the vicinity of the prisoner-of-war camp along the road.In the shadowy flames, it can be seen that many people's hair has been burned off, their skin has been scorched black, and their clothes have been burned into rags, with shocking blood stains all over their bodies, but they are still in minus ten degrees. In the wind and snow, he wandered around like a sleepwalker, until he fell to the ground without warning, unable to get up again...

But at the end of the day some people stayed awake and tried to do something to help others.Outside the gate of the prisoner-of-war camp, Lieutenant Reznov saw Victor, a new recruit who had just joined the army. Half of the young man's face was burned, and he was also limping when he walked.But he still struggled to find food, fuel and cooking utensils from the ruins, cooked a big pot of hot porridge, and distributed them to the citizens who came to take refuge to satisfy their hunger.The military doctors in the prisoner-of-war camp also survived, and set up tents next to a pile of burning wooden houses, and used some salvaged medicines and equipment to disinfect and bandage the wounded.

Some of the Americans in the prisoner-of-war camp also survived, helped each other to get out from under the rubble, and then squatted dazedly beside the collapsed barracks, but they didn't dare to escape, and they didn't know what to do—although At that time, there were no guards to prevent them from leaving, but the extremely harsh nature in Northeast Asia itself was the best jailer, and they were not confident that they could survive alone in the Kamchatka wilderness in winter.

So, when more and more surviving Soviet citizens poured in from the city, these Yankees became the targets of venting their anger, and were punched by angry big men or Russian aunts, even those who looked like canaries Normally, a slender and delicate girl with blond hair would also squeeze into the crowd, jumping forward and kicking and punching, making the American prisoners of war howl... In the burning fire, Second Lieutenant Reznov recognized a An American prisoner of war named Cecil, who could speak a few words of Russian and was very handsome, was beaten so badly that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his head was swollen like a pig's head.

As the manager of the prisoner-of-war camp, Second Lieutenant Reznov seemed to be responsible for preventing the citizens from atrocities against the prisoners of war, but at this moment, he was already tired and cold, and he just felt exhausted and didn't bother to do anything.So, he just cast a few glances at the prisoners who were being beaten, then turned around, sat down on a stone in a depressed mood, took out a pack of cigarettes from his coat pocket, and took one out of his mouth.He took out a lighter from his trouser pocket, lit the cigarette skillfully, took a deep breath, and exhaled a smoke ring.Then he held the cigarette between his index finger and middle finger, staring at the sky full of flames and the destroyed city in a daze.

In the past countless days and nights, Second Lieutenant Reznov complained many times about his pent-up anger and being unable to vent his anger. He was infinitely bored with this boring life away from the war... But when the flames of war finally reached Kamchatka, Only then did he realize that this was definitely not the war he had dreamed of!
Has the current war turned into this?There are no long bugles, rapid drumbeats, passionate battle songs and high-pitched shouts, no close combat with blood and sweat, no passion and glory that can make people's blood boil, only destruction and death that make people desperate.

For a professional soldier like him, this kind of war...is really...disappointing!

Under the Kamchatka night sky reddened by the flames, Second Lieutenant Reznov smiled wryly, and once again breathed out a curling smoke ring...

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

When the first U.S. B-29 "Super Sky Fortress" strategic bomber carrying an atomic bomb completed its bombing at the port of Petropavlovsk at the southern tip of the Kamchatka Peninsula, it turned around and returned to Alaska in victory.The rest of the aircraft fleet still did not end their mission, but continued to advance at full speed along the Kuril Islands towards Vladivostok, the largest city in the Far East of the Soviet Union-this is the key goal of this nuclear strike!
——Comparing the target value of Vladivostok with Petropavlovsk is like comparing gold to black iron.

However, this bombing was not destined to go smoothly. The previous air strikes on Petropavlovsk had given the Soviet Union enough warning time.When the U.S. B-29 strategic bomber fleet had just flown over the Kamchatka Peninsula and was still flying over the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, it was intercepted by Soviet fighter jets and Japanese fighter jets from Hokkaido—because of aerial reconnaissance Satellites keep close monitoring at all times. No matter how the U.S. military disperses the aircraft fleet, changes the route, or plays any tricks, it cannot escape the enemy's pursuit and interception, and can only continue to fight head-to-head.

As a result, the huge B-29 strategic bomber fleet was like a herd of wild horses that were constantly hunted down by prairie wolves. They were beaten less and less along the way, and some turned back halfway due to oil leaks or malfunctions.When it successfully crossed the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, there were only about 120 aircraft left in the entire fleet.

But the next voyage is even more difficult, because the front is Sakhalin Island and the Strait of Tartary, which are famous for its dense fog all year round. Although American meteorologists predict that the sky above Sakhalin Island today should be sunny, the cruel reality is not. So... As a result, the B-29 strategic bomber group plunged into the fog together with the Soviet fighters who came to intercept, and continued to start a blindfolded dark chaos in the dense fog.A considerable number of planes were shot down or lost, and even some particularly unlucky B-29 bombers had vicious collisions with each other.

All in all, the entire US strategic bomber fleet completely fell apart in the dense fog stretching nearly a thousand kilometers above Sakhalin Island.One of the B-29 strategic bombers carrying a nuclear bomb was shot down over the Tatar Strait before it had time to drop the bomb, and sank to the bottom of the sea with the nuclear bomb.Another B-29 strategic bomber carrying a nuclear bomb panicked in the chaos, and threw the nuclear bomb on the plane into the uninhabited forest of Sakhalin Island in a daze. Mushroom cloud, but I am afraid that more bears were killed than people... The last B-29 strategic bomber carrying a nuclear bomb finally rushed out of the mist-shrouded range with bullet holes all over it, and headed west again. Continued to fly over the Sea of ​​Japan, but the crew has completely lost their sense of direction, not sure where they drove the plane, and they were also separated from other bombers. Seeing that the fuel tank was punctured and leaked, the engine was about to stall , I had no choice but to randomly find a port city that looked relatively large, and dropped the atomic bomb...

Several days later, the United States was able to confirm that the target of their nuclear explosion was actually Chongjin Port in Northeast North Korea...

——So far, all the three countries in Northeast Asia, China, Japan and North Korea, have tasted the cruel taste of being nuclear bombed and planting the sun before and after World War Three.It can really be said that we share the blessings and share the difficulties, and we really deserve to be good brothers who stand together under the red flag and walk side by side into the big socialist family.

On the Far Eastern Front on this day, the Soviet Union and North Korea were hit by three atomic bombs, losing 30 aircraft, eleven military ships, and nearly [-] casualties.In particular, the Soviet Union suffered a nuclear bomb for the first time since the start of the war, which was a huge blow to the morale and morale of the army.

And the United States was also forced to pay a very heavy price for this nuclear strike-220 five B-29 "Super Sky Fortress" strategic long-range bombers that took off from the Aleutian Islands, and only 45 of them returned successfully in the end , Eleven of the planes were severely damaged and were forced to be declared scrapped on the spot after returning. More than 2000 crew members were killed or captured.

Of course, compared to later on the same day, the small scene on the Far East Front that took off from the Icelandic base and exploded the U.S. strategic nuclear strike bomber fleet in the European part of the Soviet Union is not worth mentioning...
