After the siege of Tokyo, Kokokoa also set foot on Japanese soil, he had already spent enough time on the ship, and wanted to come down to do activities, after all, people only feel comfortable when they are down-to-earth! Acton and the others originally wanted to find a place like a temple and a shrine for Guo Xing'a to rest and stay, but unfortunately for Guo Xing'a, who was quite taboo in the temple, they categorically rejected their kindness, and found a relatively intact daimyo's mansion outside the city to rest.

This time the great rout of the Japanese army happened by accident, and no one thought that Enyuan's light infantry assault would have an immediate effect, and no one thought that Uliji would come so coincidentally. Acton and the others did not expect that the Japanese army would collapse all at once like this, so the preparations in all aspects were not very sufficient. Now that everyone is busy checking and filling in the gaps, Guoxing Ah has to live in some strange places, so he can only rely on him.

After finally settling down, Acton came to ask Goxinga for his next step, but he was shut up. Guo Xinga just came to visit, at most as a mascot for Actun, the specific battle command, he said that he would not mix with anything anymore. Since the siege and annihilation of Miliujing, Guo Xing'a has a clear understanding of his own level, he is not a general at all, and it is better to be honest in logistics. Although the Enyuan commando was forced out by Guo Xing'a, Guo Xing'a did not intend to accept it at that time in order to innovate tactics

Without the instructions of the supreme leadership, Acton also had a hard time with how to attack Tokyo. Now that the seventh layer of Japan's territory has fallen into the hands of the Manchurian Army, Goxinga is not afraid of the Meiji relocation of the capital to resist the war, and there is no political obstacle to taking Tokyo. But it's really not very easy to really say that you want to fight.

Although the various armies that divided into joint attacks took a lot of land in Japan, they did not control a large number of Japanese populations, and the population of this strange country was too concentrated. Tokyo City is currently the largest city in the world, not because of how good it is, but because of its large number of people. The Japanese were very obedient, and although Emperor Meiji had little equipment, it was still possible to send hundreds of thousands of cannon fodder armed with wooden sticks in the city of Tokyo. And the remnants of the more than 100,000 remnants who were defeated and returned to Tokyo are not easy to deal with, and these guys can be regarded as having experienced the test of cruel war, and they have rich experience in actual combat. If they were only holding the fortified city, Acton had 10,000 ways to kill them, fearing that they would retreat into the city and fight in the streets.

The construction of Tokyo is average, but there are many slums and messy buildings in the city, and these things are very sinful to live in, and they are excellent for street fighting. Once the Manchurian Army entered the labyrinthine city of Tokyo, all high-tech weapons would be ineffective, and all the advantages of the Japanese army would be revealed. Acton had been fighting in Temple Street for more than half a year, and the street fighting had left a deep psychological shadow on him, and he didn't want to do it again in Tokyo. Judging from the strength of the Japanese army in Tokyo City and the actual situation in Tokyo City, there is a surplus for the whole year.

"You go talk to Kong Zhen and Cao Meng! They're all coming to Japan recently, and they'll be there in half a day! Acton studied the city of Tokyo for three days and did not dare to attack, so he could only go to Goxinga again for help. Koko, who was busy studying Japanese geisha culture, didn't have much time to help Acton, but he also showed him two clear paths.

Sure enough, Acton waited for two days, and Kong Zhen, commander of the artillery group, and Cao Meng, commander of the aviation force, arrived in Japan, and both of them came to pay homage to Guoxinga and report on the recent progress of various departments. Guo Xing'a also didn't have much time to deal with the two, so after a brief meeting, he hastily sent the two commanders away. Guo Xinga was not interested, Acton was very interested in these two, and Gao Zhiyuan responded to his own headquarters.

"Before they dig the underground fortifications, build a defensive barrier, and blow them up first!" After Acton complained, Kong Zhen immediately had an idea, and of course he did not leave his old business in three sentences.

"Yes, destroy their solid structures on the ground first, so that even if they have to fight in the streets, they will not have cover to rely on. They will definitely not be able to dig many underground fortifications in the short term, and without surface buildings, these people will not have anything to fear! Cao Meng also nodded again and again.

"The city of Tokyo is so big, it's not easy to blow up all their buildings!" Acton also felt that there was some truth in what the two said, but it was very difficult to operate.

"This is easy to do, Tokyo is so close to the sea, and the buildings near the city walls can be solved by naval guns. As for the buildings in the city, we can concentrate the artillery of the whole army and make a key breakthrough! There is Commander Cao's airship in the sky watching, you are still afraid that you will not be able to hit it! "Kong Zhen likes the effect of firing 10,000 cannons, and it doesn't give strength if there are fewer cannons.

"There is no problem with the naval guns, but the artillery on our side is not easy to handle, there are a lot of gun positions alone, but there are not many large-caliber heavy guns!" Five battleships were parked in the harbor, and Acton had a bottom in his mind in terms of naval guns, but the land artillery didn't seem to be enough. At present, there are more than 1,000 artillery pieces of the 100,000 troops under the city of Tokyo, but there are only about 100 heavy artillery pieces with a caliber of more than 150 millimeters. Guns with a caliber of less than 150 mm are powerful, but the range is insufficient. It's okay to demolish some key buildings, but if you want to solve all the important buildings in Tokyo, it's not enough.

"My heavy artillery cluster can't be transferred, but our Commander Cao isn't here! Is it still a problem to have him in range or something? Kong Zhen still recognizes the power of aviation, and he has a lot of intersections with Cao Meng, and his heavy artillery cluster also has to rely on aviation as an eye.

"Yuantu, please!" Cao Meng is Acton's old subordinate, but now his identity is different after all, so Acton also called Cao Meng's character.

"Don't say that, old sir, don't worry!" Although Cao Meng doesn't like to talk, he wants to be affectionate, and he naturally responds to the old chief's requests, and Guo Xing'a also agrees to this matter, so he doesn't have to be embarrassed.

Acton was relieved outside the city, and Saigo Takamori and Tokugawa Yoshiki in the city were on pins and needles. The little emperor of Meiji is also very worried, but this guy is not in his right mind, he has been clamoring for the country to be broken, and he has been fighting to the end, and he can't come up with anything practical at all, and the burden of Wanjun is on the shoulders of Saigo Takamori and Tokugawa Yoshiki. After the siege of the Manchurian Army, it has been besieging but not attacking, giving the Japanese army a reorganized respite, so that Tokyo, which has opened the door, has some self-preservation power, but Saigo Takamori and Tokugawa Yoshiki did not dare to relax a little.

"The Manchurian Army still hasn't moved!" It took another two days, and the young Tokugawa Keiki couldn't sit still.

"They may be waiting for the enemy in the west, south, and north directions, and want to wipe out the whole of Japan, and then go all out to encircle Tokyo!" Although Saigo Takamori was not lightly injured and his eyes could not see, his mind was still very clear, and he analyzed the possible movements of the enemy according to his own cognition.

"Sendai, Osaka and other directions have newly organized and trained towns by the government, although the combat power is not enough to fight against the Manchurian army, but it is still possible to defend itself, at least it will not be taken quickly. It seems that we still have time to conquer the people and reorganize the troops! Tokugawa Yoshiki was still restless, but his mind was spinning fast.

"They should also think of it, the enemy army on three routes has been stagnant for a while, and Guo Xing'a is a famous general in the world, and he should not take risks with luck. Moreover, with the current strength of the Manchurian Army, there is still a great hope for attacking Tokyo, and it is really incomprehensible why they let go of the opportunity of our army's new defeat! Saigo Takamori thought about it and still felt that it was wrong.

"General?" Saigo's words were finished for a long time, but Tokugawa Yoshiki didn't take a stubble, and the soldiers also ran in a panic, and the exclamations were endless, and Saigo felt the difference.

"Has the Manchurian Army begun to attack?" Saigo anxiously asked, but he felt that something was wrong, the Manchurian army's attacks were mostly opened by artillery, why was there no artillery bombardment in this attack?

"Mr. Saigo, let's go, Manchurian airship!" Several flag-book samurai have firmly protected Tokugawa Yoshiki, but Tokugawa Yoshiki still remembers Saigo Takamori, and when he was picked up and ran away, he didn't forget to pull Saigo Takamori to run away.

Saigo Takamori wanted to ask, but there was already a lot of noise nearby, and his voice was completely suppressed. The airships in the sky were like dragonflies before the rain, and these big killers that had destroyed Tokyo left a deep impression on the Japanese army. Seeing these terrible aerial monsters again, the Japanese army didn't even have the courage to resist, and they all turned around and ran, looking for a place to hide from the terrible flames.

The habitual experience of the Japanese army is still very reliable, although the Manchurian airship can carry many types of ammunition, but the bombing of Tokyo is of course the best to solidify. Cao Meng also fought hard for the old commander, mobilized all 497 attack airships in Manchuria, and launched the largest bombing of Tokyo. At the same time that the airship began to drop bombs, Kong Zhen, the first artillery officer of the Manchurian Army, also began to command the artillery and began to launch artillery bombardments at various key targets in Tokyo.

Solidification*, incendiary bombs, high-explosive*, anti-personnel *, *, Manchurian artillery is like an exhibition, frantically tilting all kinds of ammunition towards the city of Tokyo. The earth flew in the air as if it had been given a soul, the sturdy houses collapsed like building blocks, and the wealthy families everywhere were reduced to pieces. And this time the Manchurian army was ruthless, they concentrated all their ammunition, and the shelling became part of the psychological warfare. From early morning to night, from infantry guns to naval guns, the shelling seemed to never stop, and the rumbling sound of explosions enveloped Tokyo at all times.

"Is it dawn?" Saigo Takamori, who was dragged to the bunker by Tokugawa Keiki, asked the disciples beside him, and he wanted to know what time it was.

"It should be morning!" Murata Shinpachi's answer was very vague.

Solidification* ignited countless fires in the city, and billowing smoke mixed with dust obscured everything, and Tokyo seemed to be plunged into a permanent night, and the sun no longer belonged to them.
