In the direction of Tokyo's East Castle Gate, the main point of engagement, the Chinese army at this time encountered the most stubborn resistance from the Japanese. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The fierce fighting here was also the most tragic, and a large number of soldiers of the national army fell on the way to the charge.

Of course, their fall was not worthless, and the Japanese suffered more than three times as many casualties.

This was mainly due to the fact that there were many ordinary civilians among the Japanese who were on the defensive side.

The Japanese devils, who had not undergone any military training, did not know how to dodge at all, and became the best live targets for the officers and men of the national army in the rain of bullets.

&n？ Pig? Pig? Island? Novel; Then there was the superior firepower of the Chinese army's overwhelmingly superior air force and naval artillery groups, which caused far more casualties to the Japanese than the landing force.

In the midst of the massive explosions, the originally bustling East Gate area of Tokyo Castle was completely reduced to ruins.

Inside the city of Tokyo, the smoke of gunpowder is extremely thick.

About 1,000 Japanese men, wrapped in strips of white cloth and armed with old guns and cold weapons such as knives, guns and clubs, walked briskly along the ruined streets towards the tattered but still fiercely exchanged fire at the East City Gate.

Except for a few retired men who were slightly older and were once soldiers, most of the devils were pale and their bodies couldn't help but tremble.

There was even a devil who looked to be only a teenager, and in the crowd he listened to the dense gunfire that was getting closer and closer, and the explosion of shells that fell around them from time to time, and he actually cried in fright.

It's just that even with tears, he can only follow these people and continue to move forward, towards the battlefield that he knows is death.

Because His Majesty the Emperor has decreed that the people of Yamato in the whole city will fight desperately and bloody to defend the capital.

The people of China do not retreat for a day, and everyone has to take up arms and go to the battlefield to fight them.

There is also the Emperor's Guard in the back who supervises the battle with guns, so. Even if they were terribly scared, they did not dare to turn back, because once they turned back, they were greeted by a dense rain of machine-gun bullets.

A few minutes later, more than 1,000 Japanese men, led by several retired veterans, entered the battlefield where bullets were flying.

There were dead bodies everywhere, bullets raining down everywhere.

More than 1,000 devils were scolded and scattered, but many people failed to react and were knocked down by the dense rain of bullets.

What frightened the devils even more was the sudden explosion of several violent explosions. More than a dozen devils were swallowed up by the fire that rose from the ground, and their bones were gone.

The devil boy who was crying and crying earlier was completely stupid, forgetting to shed tears, forgetting to cry, and even forgetting to move.

He stood there until a high-pitched, piercing scream fell from the sky, and after a flash of red light, he vanished into thin air.

"Kill... Come on! An earth-shattering shout of killing rang out from outside the city, and thousands of soldiers of the national army were bombarded after a single artillery strike. Once again, a fierce attack was launched against the city of Tokyo.

On the city wall, which was almost in ruins, the surviving devil soldiers fired tenaciously from various ruins, but the sparse firepower could no longer stop the Chinese army's tidal charge.

Seeing this, a Japanese soldier raised his adjutant sword and roared hoarsely: "Warriors of the Empire. The time has come to serve His Majesty the Emperor, kill Gaga! ”

The devil soldiers hidden in various places in the east city gate suddenly jumped out one after another as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and rushed out with the 38 rifles with bayonets on them.

The Japanese civilians, who did not have rifles, also roared in a frenzied rage. With all kinds of weapons, he rushed out.

Seeing this, the attacking troops of the national army who were charging opened fire with their weapons in their hands.

The dense bullets suddenly hit head-on in rows, and the devil soldiers fell in an instant.

The Nationalist army had an absolute superiority in firepower, and all kinds of individual weapons and tank units opened heavy fire. The casualties of the Japanese increased exponentially.

Before they could meet each other, the surviving devil soldiers were killed and wounded.

The civilians who followed were even more like lambs to the slaughter, and they became the best targets for the soldiers of the national army to pour out their anger.

After a fierce battle for more than an hour, seeing that the attacking troops of the national army were about to slaughter the devils outside the city, a large number of Japanese devils poured out of the city.

As before, among these devils, there are soldiers, but more often there are ordinary people in civilian clothes and many Japanese samurai wearing katanas.

…………

In the Imperial Palace of Japan, Emperor Hirohito was sitting with a calm face, and next to him stood a beautiful woman about thirty years old, who was none other than Emperor Hirohito's Empress Yoshiko.

Sitting in this originally quiet palace, you can already hear the explosions and the faint and dense gunfire that rang out from time to time inside and outside the city.

"Your Majesty, you just listen to Ishihara's advice, hurry up and go into the underground bunker to hide, where is the safest." Empress Yoshiko persuaded bitterly, and as soon as the battle began, Ishihara and others advised the emperor to leave the palace and enter the underground fortification bunker to avoid a possible air raid by the Shina people.

However, Emperor Hirohito was unmoved and insisted on staying in the palace, but fortunately, although the Chinese air force fighters frequently bombed all parts of the city, they did not bomb the palace.

Despite this, Empress Liangzi's heart was still up and down, especially when she heard the dull explosions coming from outside, she was even more nervous.

Seeing that Emperor Hirohito could not be persuaded, Empress Ryoko knelt down and wept: "Your Majesty, please put the country first, you are a god in the hearts of hundreds of millions of people, you cannot put yourself in danger." ”

"Even if it is not for the sake of the country, can Your Majesty bear to see our children lose their fathers?"

Unexpectedly, Emperor Hirohito kicked Empress Yoshiko, who was kneeling on the ground, to the ground, and roared angrily: "Enough, you shut up for me, my people are fighting bloody battles with the Shina people, and the casualties are increasing by tens of thousands, their children are also losing their fathers, and their wives are also losing their husbands." ”

In fact, Emperor Hirohito's anger was not because of Empress Ryoko, but because he had just received the latest news that a Chinese airborne force had suddenly appeared in the west of the city and captured the Wako area.

In this way, even if the city of Tokyo is surrounded by Chinese troops on all sides, Emperor Hirohito is in a good mood.

As for Emperor Hirohito, who had his own little calculations to avoid air raids, he knew that not a single fighter plane of the Chinese Air Force had come to bomb his palace until now, and it was obvious that he was instructed by their supreme commander to capture him alive.

Therefore, it is safest for him to stay in the palace, how could this woman of Queen Liangzi think of this.

Don't look at what he said high-sounding, benevolent and righteous, in fact, this old boy is shrewd.
