The landing of the marines in North Manchurian was very smooth, and there were only ruins in front of them, and there was no enemy left. Brigade Commander Li Zhenhe quickly organized troops to establish a beachhead, but the land battle that should be followed up could not wait. Li Zhenhe also built the landing ground, built tight fortifications, and even occupied all the Japanese coastal defense batteries, and the army still had no shadow.

"What's the situation? Raise the flag and ask the rear, why haven't the follow-up troops come yet? "After waiting for almost two hours, Li Zhenhe couldn't sit still, the situation troops!

After some negotiations, Li Zhenhe received a reply that left him with a black line, and the original plan to attack the city of Tokyo was canceled. After waiting for a while, a follow-up order came.

"Due to a change in plan, I ordered your unit to hold the beachhead in place and under the cover of naval artillery and aviation. In the event of a strong counterattack by the enemy, the main thing should be to preserve the strength and allow the beachhead to be abandoned and the fleet returned to the fleet in the event of unfavorable warfare. The follow-up battle plan will be notified separately after it is confirmed! ”

"What's the matter with them?" The outer defenders of Tokyo have all been scattered, and the fire inside the city is still burning, so it is a perfect opportunity to take the city of Tokyo in one fell swoop, why not fight it all of a sudden! The aggrieved Li Zhenhe didn't even know who to scold.

The reason why such a big oolong was made was because Guo Xing'a, who had been missing for several days, suddenly appeared again, and then completely denied the battle plan of the staff headquarters. Guo Xing'a, who was shouting every day to let Tan Shaoguang lead the army, suddenly came out to point fingers, it didn't matter if he broke his promise and got fat, but the general said that if it can't be so big, it must not be so big. Changchun's sudden brake slammed Li Zhenhe at the gate of Tokyo.

The reason for Goxinga's sudden disappearance is simple, Tianni and Tuya are both pregnant. Guoxing's old toss day and night, and it is normal to have a sudden result, but a pregnant woman is not normal, and a woman who is about to hold her grandson is even more abnormal. During the period of Guoxing's disappearance, he was escorted to Jilin by his wife Suotulu, and Zhang Jia's Little Buddha, Xiao Zhang Tianshi, and Qingyi Zen Master held a puja together, praying for the blessing of the stomachs of the two women, praying that the gods and Buddhas would bless the Yehenara clan to add people to import, and Guoxing'a of the Yanzong could also have a son of his own as soon as possible.

Originally, two days of back and forth, plus the puja, were enough, but there was also a little Peter who refused to stop! This old man relied on Guoxing'a in Jilin, and he had to treat Guoxing'a equally, so he also had a ceremony. Guo Xing'a didn't accept the baptism, so he naturally didn't bother to take care of him, but the Suotulu clan believed in everything, and there was nothing bad about the blessings of many foreign immortals. Therefore, under the guidance of Sotulu's idea of more and the better, Goxinga took two wives and played a game of hallelujah.

Guo Xing'a engaged in religious activities for three days, and when he returned to Changchun, he saw Tan Shaoguang's strategic plan to take Tokyo directly, and then he repented. There's nothing wrong with taking Tokyo straight, but once Tokyo is defeated and the emperor is caught, what will happen next? The capital is breached, the emperor is captured, the Japanese will definitely bend their knees to sue for peace, and if Britain and France make peace again, Goxinga's plan to annex Japan will be ruined, so Goxinga must keep Tokyo, at least give Meiji a time to move the capital to resist the war.

As long as the Meiji government is still resisting, the battle will not be over, and the British and French powers will have no excuse to make peace, and Kokokoa can take the opportunity to attack from multiple ways and take down all the Hokkaido, Shikoku, and Kyushu first. At that time, most of Japan's territory was in the hands of Goxinga, and a fait accompli was already in front of him, and Goxinga wanted to annex Japan, but no one could stop him.

With this central idea, Operation Heavenly Punishment had to be canceled, and the 7th Division and two mixed brigades, which had been planned to land in Tokyo, were also changed to land in Shikoku. But when Changchun made a decision, the 3rd Brigade of the Marine Corps went ashore, so Li Zhenhe was left alone on the shore. Originally, he was going to withdraw Li Zhenhe, but after Tan Shaoguang studied it and fully understood Guo Xing'a's thoughts, he still decided to leave Li Zhenhe on the shore.

Li Zhenhe was blocked at the gate of Tokyo, and the Japanese would definitely have trouble sleeping and eating, and it would be difficult for them to make a big move near Tokyo, such as moving the capital. This is equivalent to buying an insurance policy for North Manchuria, you can fight at will if you want to, and if you don't want to fight one day, you can attack Tokyo and capture Meiji alive with a surprise attack and end this war. At the same time, the existence of Li Zhenhe will inevitably contain a large number of elite Japanese troops, which will create an excellent opportunity for other troops to attack. It would have been better if the Japanese had come to kill Li Zhenhe without knowing whether they were alive or dead. Behind Li Zhenhe is a large number of ships of the navy, and there are airships in the sky to support, such an absolute firepower superiority, to ensure that the Japanese come and die as many as they come.

After the follow-up order came, Li Zhenhe understood that he had become bait. As a Manchurian soldier, there is nothing to complain about, Li Zhenhe seized the time to build a sandbag. The Japanese would never let him block the gate of Tokyo, and would definitely send a large army to expel him, so Li Zhenhe must be prepared to meet an army of 100,000. It's a pity that after waiting for two days, there was a fight on the Shikoku side, and there was still no show in the city of Tokyo.

It's not that the Japanese don't want to come to trouble Li Zhenhe, they really don't have time. The solidification of 480 tons* of three airship formations could choke Tokyo enough, and one-twentieth of the city of Tokyo was flattened. More than 18,000 civilians, officials, and soldiers were killed, and more than 50,000 people were displaced. If Li Zhenhe went to fight Tokyo, the Japanese would have to resist, and now Li Zhenhe is squatting on the bank, the Japanese can still endure it!

Iwakura Gushi, Sanjo Minoru and other major officials had a good life, and the aristocratic area where they lived was lucky enough to avoid this air raid in Northern Manchuria. The airship formation is a blind bombing, and it will bomb wherever it is pleasing to the eye, and there is no clear goal, otherwise none of these old boys will want to run. Hirobumi Ito, Masajiro Omura and other government backbones also escaped for the same reason. But not dying doesn't mean they can rejoice, these big guys are also anxious now, the results of the air raids are too tragic, and the solidification* is also too terrifying.

"This blazing night will forever remain in the memories of those of us who witnessed it. When the first horrific ones* hit the ground, the smoke rose and was reflected in the glow of the fire below. The flying fortresses of North Manchurian flew through the smoke and over the center of the gradually spreading fire, passing one by one. The fire mixed with smoke rose into the sky, and the fiery red sky reflected the flying fortress in the darkness, like a devil descending into the world. The entire city was as bright as the rising sun, and the sky was filled with smoke, black ashes, and flames blown by the wind, and it seemed as if the whole of Tokyo would be reduced to ashes. Ito Hirofumi painfully relayed the words of a surviving old man to Iwakura Gushi and the others.

"What did that * explosion look like?" Masajiro Omura also had tears in his eyes, and he asked with force.

"When those horrible things are dropped, there are flames everywhere, and no matter what, they can't be extinguished. And last night the wind hung up, and for a while, the wind took advantage of the fire, and the fire helped the wind, and the fire seemed to be sweeping the whole of Tokyo. Everything was set on fire, and everywhere it was horribly hot, as if we were in a furnace, and trees, houses, and even human bodies began to spontaneously combust, and even some of the gold, silver, and iron utensils were melted. The old man said with a blank face, as if everything had nothing to do with him, he was just telling someone else's story.

"The fire on the ground spread like a flood, and the fleeing crowd ran back and forth, but the flames soon licked them and quickly turned them into burning char. Those horrible hellfires still burn even when they fall on the water, and we have tried everything we can to extinguish them. Unable to find a way out, people began to run to the moat, hoping to escape with the water, but the river was already boiling. The men with the fire on their bodies jumped into the river and tried to escape in the water, but the moat had become a boiling pot of soup, and they were all cooked alive! Tears suddenly appeared on the old man's calm face, and he began to cry.

"What kind of enemy have we provoked, they are devils, devils!" The old man wept and wailed bitterly, his voice gradually dimmed, and finally fell silent, he was a wounded survivor. He escaped the flames, but died of poisoning.

Looking at the dead old man, Iwakura Gushi and the others felt the same way, they had not experienced the flames, but they could now clearly see the tragic situation left by the flames. Most of the buildings are gone, and the streets are unrecognizable, except for a few crooked cement piles, which were built by the Orchid Society, and the Japanese-style buildings have long since been turned to fly ash. All the houses became like melted sugar cubes, the river did not evaporate, and countless charred corpses were scattered all over the dry riverbed. There were messy corpses everywhere, huddled in all sorts of strange poses, and the air was filled with the stench of burning.

"They're hellbirds!" Minoru Sanjo shrank his hand, he was very frightened, they provoked an enemy who could destroy their country and their species.

"Will they continue to bomb Tokyo?" Iwakura Gushi also felt fear, if this kind of terrifying* was thrown into the aristocratic district or even the imperial palace, the consequences would be very terrifying.

"It shouldn't be in the near future, but whether it will be in the future, it's hard to say!" Masajiro Omura thought carefully for a while before giving the ministers an answer. He is not foolish, Omura feels that the cost of this kind of horror must be very high, and North Manchu will not use it unscrupulously. And the airship also appeared after that, but it only stayed in the sky and did not continue to bomb Tokyo.

The cost of solidification * is not high, and after mass production, it is much cheaper than high-explosive bombs, and the airships on which Omura is based are all reconnaissance airships. However, Omura's judgment is still correct, Goxinga is indeed not ready to engage in Tokyo anymore, and people are busy occupying territory!

"His Majesty the Emperor must not live under such a terrifying threat, immediately repel the enemy who has landed, and we escort the Emperor back to Kyoto!" Iwakura Gushi was very concerned about the emperor's safety, so he obediently walked into the trap of Northern Manchuria.
