The sound of gunfire continued day and night, the sky over the city was full of smoke, and even during the day, visibility was much weaker, but even so, the Japanese troops in the city were still resisting stubbornly. Hideki Tojo, who originally insisted on sitting in Tokyo to command the resistance, had been forcibly escorted north by his guards, and at this time it was Akira Muto, the commander of the 2nd Guards Division of the Japanese Army, who took over Hideki Tojo to command the Tokyo operation.

Muto Akira served in the Kwantung Army and also directed the formulation of the "Guiding Outline for the War against China in the Exercise of Forces in North China" to determine and promote the specific plan for the further expansion of the aggression of the Japanese army invading China. However, Muto Akira has a perverse personality and is an extreme egocentrist, and his reputation in the General Staff Headquarters has never been good. He also had a quarrel with Ishihara Waner, who is known as Japan's No. 1 military scientist, on the issue of whether to launch a full-scale war against China, so he was selected as his successor by Hideki Tojo this time.

Muto Akira was ordered to stay in Tokyo to command the battle, but he did not show dissatisfaction, on the contrary, Muto Akira was grateful to Hideki Tojo for the important task entrusted to him. Muto Akira, who succeeded Hideki Tojo in command of the Tokyo operation, began to shrink his forces and build fortifications and fortresses in the city, according to his idea, even if he finally lost Tokyo, he would inflict heavy casualties on the invading squadron.

Akira Muto was ready for a desperate battle, and here at the Tokyo airport, over time, the number of expeditionary forces assembled here according to the offensive plan had exceeded 50,000. "Boss, this is a piece of information just sent out by the intelligence officers of the military command in Tokyo, mainly the equipment and heavy firepower deployment of the Japanese army in Tokyo..." Walking into the crowded temporary headquarters, Huffman, who temporarily served as an intelligence staff officer, handed over a piece of information to Zhuo Fei.

After quickly skimming through the information in his hand, Zhuo Fei's face was instantly shrouded in a confident smile. Then, Zhuo Fei couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I really didn't expect it, I didn't expect that the Japanese army, which was known as the first combat power in Asia a few years ago, has declined to the point where it is now. As the capital of the Japanese army, the city of Tokyo was so poor that it could not even get a decent weapon, and it seemed that for the sake of the American battlefield, the Japanese had exhausted all their own strategic reserves, and even the national fortunes of the entire country were gambled. However, this just cheapens us and gives us a chance to reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

At this moment, although the total strength of the Japanese army in Tokyo City has reached an astonishing 1.2 million on the surface, it is full of a lot of water in this 1.2 million troops. In addition to the 2nd Guards Division, which was directly led by Akira Muto, a large number of local garrisons and Japanese stragglers who had retreated from the central part of Honshu Island to Tokyo were the only ones who really had combat effectiveness. In addition to these Japanese troops with regular equipment, in order to cope with the shortage of troops in the city, Muto Zhang, who was bent on fighting to the death with the expeditionary force, directly recruited nearly one million new troops among the civilians in the city at the first time through various means such as catching strong men.

As for the equipment of these new troops, because the city's equipment reserves have long been depleted, it can be described as antiques....there are shotguns, and there are old rifles used in the First World War....Of course, more troops are only equipped with cold weapons such as katanas. Through the continuous information transmitted by the intelligence officers of the military commander lurking in the city of Tokyo, Zhuo Fei already has a certain understanding of the Japanese army in the city, and is full of confidence in the next battle.

After pondering for a moment, Zhuo Fei immediately set his eyes on the combat sand table, and asked, "Huffman, a day and a night have passed, how many follow-up troops of the expeditionary force have landed in Tokyo Bay?" How many soldiers are there at the airport? I'm talking about forces that can be put into battle at any time? ”

Huffman did not answer Zhuo Fei's inquiry immediately, but first found a folder to open it, and then replied to Xiang and Style one by one according to the data on the file. "All the units of the New Army in the expeditionary force sequence have landed and assembled in Edogawa, the forward troops of the Dangkou Army have also arrived at Tachikawa, more than half of the expeditionary force units that have landed in the follow-up have landed in Tokyo Bay, and the number of troops assembled here at the airport has exceeded 50,000, and these 50,000 people can be put into battle at any time."

"At present, the transport fleet of the Yokosu Military Port is constantly unloading logistics supplies and heavy equipment used by various units to the wharf. Of course, these baggage and heavy equipment are also being transferred to the airport in a steady stream under the transportation of logistics troops. The 1st Guard Division is now located in Daejeon, and it is the 30,000 servant army commanded by Ma Yuanshan who are fighting with them. The three flying groups have all been transferred, and our pilots are ready to take to the skies at any time, except for the British flying team, which has been on standby in Mie Prefecture. ”

"In addition, the advance regiment of the expeditionary force, which had seized the Tokyo airport, was violently blocked by a Japanese infantry wing less than twenty kilometers from Tokyo, and its advance had now stalled. According to Hogg, who accompanied the advance team, this Japanese blocking force was likely to be the main Japanese division, which was not only well-equipped, but also specially equipped with a number of rapid-fire guns designed to deal with tanks and armored vehicles. ”

Zhuo Fei nodded and said, "At present, there are more than 300,000 troops in our hands that can be put into battle at any time, and we already have an absolute advantage in terms of the number of troops and weapons and equipment. At this moment, the Japanese army not only built a large number of fortifications and fortresses in the city, but also vigorously recruited civilians as new soldiers, with the purpose of holding Tokyo and fighting us to the death. The purpose of this plan is not just for the sake of one Tokyo city, so should we change our thinking about the battle around Tokyo..."

"Boss, do you mean to besiege the city of Tokyo, first surround Tokyo, and then mobilize follow-up troops to deal with the Japanese army in other places first, and finally deal with the Japanese army in Tokyo City who want to fight us to the end?" The sharp-thinking Huffman immediately understood Zhuo Fei's intentions, and immediately asked directly.
