It is different from Ishihara Waner and Seishiro Itagaki who have an anxious and anxious face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Emperor Hirohito confirmed the truth of the matter from Ishihara's mouth, he was surprisingly calm.

The look of surprise on his face at first was gone, and he lowered his head as if he was thinking about something.

Itagaki Seishiro was sweating profusely and urged, "Your Majesty, what are you still hesitating about?" You are the spiritual pillar of the entire Yamato nation, and you must evacuate whether Tokyo City is defended or not, and it is too dangerous here.

In other words, even if the city of Tokyo falls, as long as Your Majesty the Emperor is safe and sound, there is still hope for our Imperial Japanese Empire, and all the people of Yamato and the soldiers of the Shima > Imperial Army will continue to fight against the Shina people.

Therefore, for the sake of the Yamato nation and the Japanese Empire, the ministers and others implore Your Majesty to evacuate Tokyo City immediately! ”

Ishihara Wan'er nodded and agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty, what Itagaki-kun said is very reasonable, please inform the queen and the princes and princesses to pack up and prepare to evacuate, the minister has already notified the Guards Division before he came, and he can protect His Majesty's evacuation of Tokyo at any time." ”

Emperor Hirohito slowly raised his head, looked at the two loyal courtiers with anxious expressions, and said in a serious tone: "Two Aiqing, do you think I can really evacuate Tokyo at this time?" ”

The two looked at each other, confused.

Emperor Hirohito continued: "As Itagaki-kun said, I am the king of a country, and the spiritual sustenance of hundreds of millions of Yamato people and soldiers.

The city of Tokyo is also the capital of our Imperial Japan, and if it falls, the huge impact it will have will be extremely detrimental to the morale of hundreds of millions of Yamato people and millions of loyal and brave soldiers.

If I stay, Tokyo City may be able to hold it, but if I do evacuate, then Tokyo City will really not be able to hold it. ”

"But ......" Ishihara and Itagaki Seishiro looked horrified, and at the same time a little excited and admired.

"Alright. Two Aiqing, you don't need to persuade anymore, I have made up my mind, and I am determined to lead all the people of Yamato and the warriors of the Imperial Army in Tokyo City to fight to the death against the people of China, and fight to the last soldier, and I will not be the king of the country! Emperor Hirohito resolutely interrupted the persuasion of the two.

The eyes of the two were full of shock and excitement, and they hurriedly threw themselves on their knees, kowtowed and cried: "Long live my emperor, the ministers are willing to follow to the death and fight to the death with the people of China!" ”

"Ishihara-kun. Itagaki-kun, this battle of Tokyo will be handed over to the two of you to be fully responsible, and divisions and regiments throughout the country will be at your disposal.

Wangqing and the others lived up to their trust, repelled strong enemies, and kept the sacred capital of our Japanese Empire! Emperor Hirohito said in a sincere tone.

The two kowtowed again and wept: "Please let go of Your Majesty, the ministers will go all out to defend Tokyo City and His Majesty the Emperor of Japan." ”

………………

Coming out of the palace, Ishihara said to Seishiro Itagaki with a heavy heart: "Your Majesty insists on staying in Tokyo. Although it can greatly boost the morale of the army and the people, at present, the main forces of the empire are basically transferred to the front line, and the garrison of Tokyo is very empty.

The people of China must be well prepared for this strong attack. This battle is going to be a terrible battle! ”

Seishiro Itagaki had regained his usual coldness, and His Majesty the Emperor was unwilling to retreat, which was very encouraging and motivating him.

Immediately, he said: "Ishihara-kun, at present, Tokyo City is except for the Guards Division. There are also a large number of gendarmerie police forces, and we should organize them all and deploy them along the coastline.

Of course. These forces alone are not enough, and we should also send a telegram as soon as possible to the garrisons of all military districts around Tokyo, Yokohama, Chiba, and other places to immediately reinforce Tokyo Castle.

Then he ordered Nagoya, Sendai and other places to quickly organize the reserve forces under their jurisdiction, and quickly sent to Tokyo for reinforcements, and concentrated all the forces that could be gathered to fight to the death with the people in Tokyo Bay. ”

Ishihara nodded and added: "In addition to these, we should also strictly order reinforcements from all over the country not to leak the news, and strictly seal the news of the attack on Tokyo by the Shina people, otherwise once it reaches the front line, it will inevitably arouse the hearts of all troops in our frontal battlefield, which will lead to the collapse of the defense line on the frontal battlefield and cause unpredictable and catastrophic consequences." ”

"That's it." Itagaki Seishiro Road.

…………

The earth-shattering sound of artillery in Tokyo Bay has already alarmed cities on both sides of the strait, including Tokyo City, and the Japanese in the city have fallen into extreme panic.

In Tokyo Bay, with the efficient work of minesweepers, the attack ship group of the Third Fleet has advanced more than 20 nautical miles in less than two hours, and the city of Tokyo is already in sight.

And here, the density of Japanese mines began to increase, and the speed of advance began to be hindered.

All the garrisons and military police in and out of Tokyo urgently began to get busy, and they rushed to Koto, Pu'an, Shinagawa and other places to deploy along the coastal defense line.

The local garrisons in Kawasaki and Chiba, which border Tokyo, were also in a state of emergency.

At this moment, a large number of Chinese fighters arrived from the sky south of Tokyo Bay.

After entering the airspace near Tokyo Bay, about 1,000 fighters and bombers rushed to Tokyo, Kawasaki, and Chiba in three separate directions.

Within a few minutes, the piercing and rapid sound of air raid sirens sounded over the entire Tokyo Bay area.

The dense anti-aircraft fire of the Japanese also roared, and the air seemed to be full of thunder.

However, there were also bursts of violent explosions on the ground, and the explosion site was accompanied by an unprecedented cloud of mushrooms rising into the air along with the flames.

That is, the masterpiece of the Flying Fortress bomber group of the Chinese Air Force.

Although the Japanese anti-aircraft fire seemed ferocious, it could not withstand the constant attacks of Chinese fighters like locusts.

Although in the fierce battle, some Chinese fighters were unfortunately shot down, but the Japanese air defense suffered even more heavy losses.

In particular, the precise surgical dive bombing of nearly 300 Stuka dives became a nightmare for the Japanese air defense forces.

While the Air Force engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese air defense forces, the minesweeping units of the Navy's Third Fleet finally cleared the way for the attacking forces to advance after paying a lot of casualties.

Dozens of destroyers and cruisers, as well as a large number of gunboats, began to launch a heavy naval artillery bombardment of the three landing ports.

Some of the Air Force's Stuka dive bombers also came to drop bombs from the air.

After about half an hour of heavy firepower, hundreds of landing ships began to transport more than 20,000 elite national troops to the beach.

The first exchange of fire took place in the Koto area of Tokyo Castle, which guards the eastern gate of Tokyo.

Although the Chinese Navy's artillery group and part of the air force carried out surgical precision strikes on the Japanese positions here, it was after all a nest that the Japanese had operated for many years.

They built a number of strong, permanent fortifications and a number of tunnels that allowed them to survive such heavy fire covering.

About two companies of Nationalist troops were the first to jump into the knee-deep water, and while the follow-up troops were still advancing, they rushed to the sandy shore full of broken barbed wire and antlers.

But soon, the bombed-up Japanese positions were filled with headache-inducing gunfire, and even the shelling of many small-caliber guns.

Dense bullets and shells that fell from time to time inflicted heavy casualties on the landing force of these two companies.

However, the surviving officers and men of the national army did not deter from this, and rushed forward desperately in the face of the rapid fire of the Japanese army.

The two companies were almost completely killed and wounded, but by this time, a large number of national troops had landed one after another, and they were accompanied by a large number of ironclad No. 4 tanks.

As the No. 4 tanks roared towards the Japanese positions with green smoke, the dense Japanese fire suddenly hit them with a series of dense sparks.

Fierce fighting also broke out at the other two landing sites, and with the successive landing of tank units, the Nationalist army was gradually breaking through the Japanese positions with an unstoppable momentum.

Although the Japanese resisted desperately, they were unable to resist the Chinese troops, who had the army, navy, air force and ground armored forces to cover the attack, and could only watch their own defensive positions be broken through little by little.

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the 20,000 landing troops of the Nationalist Army, one of the most elite units of the former Northeast Frontier Army, finally seized a large area of the Japanese army's defensive positions at the three landing sites of Jiangdong, Pu'an, and Shinagawa.

A large landing field has been developed.

Moreover, in the past hour or so, the air force, after a hard battle, finally basically wiped out the Japanese air defense in the Tokyo area.

You can free up your hands to fight for the landing force.

No, the Japanese Guards Division, which had just lost its most advanced coastal defensive positions, immediately launched a large-scale counteroffensive against the above three areas at the same time under the personal command of Seishiro Itagaki.

The elite of the 20,000 national army relied on the superior firepower of the tank unit and the naval artillery group to resist with all their might.

While the two sides were at a stalemate, a large number of air force fighters gathered from various airspaces in Tokyo.

Delivering a fatal blow to the Japanese who were launching a counterattack, the Guards Division, which suffered heavy casualties, had to stop the counterattack and retreat.

The elite of the 20,000 National Army immediately took tanks and armored vehicles as the lead, took advantage of the situation to attack on all fronts, and launched a counter-charge against Japan.

Air Force Zero and Stuka bombers also coordinated with ground forces to launch air strikes from the air against the retreating Japanese forces.

The Japanese suffered extremely heavy casualties, and the entire outside of Tokyo was filled with fires and smoke, explosions, gunfire, and shouts of killing.

When Wang Tiehan learned of the situation, he immediately ordered the remaining 80,000 elite troops and a large number of elite marines to start the follow-up landing.

From a bird's-eye view, you can clearly see the extremely spectacular scene, which is not too wide in Tokyo Bay.

Thousands of Chinese troops marched in unison, and hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops began to land like ant colonies. (To be continued......)
