At the beginning of June, Tokyo experienced only the summer heat, and the sun shone on the ground, dazzling people's eyes.

In such weather, people were reluctant to go out into the streets, so Tachitakanosuke got off the tram and walked up the street without looking back, followed by two men in suits from a distance

There were not many pedestrians on the street, especially young men, and these two suits were very conspicuous on the street, and they did not want to hide their actions, so they always followed closely behind Tachitakanosuke, seven or eight meters behind him, and followed unhurriedly. /.0M\\ The women passing by cast their eager eyes on them. Most of the able-bodied men had already been drafted into the army, and there were few men on the street, and the three of them attracted the attention of many women along the way.

Despite frequent attacks by the Chinese air force in the Kyushu area, Tokyo is relatively quiet, thanks to official propaganda, which officially acknowledges that Kyushu has been bombed, but also tells citizens that Tokyo has a well-developed air defense system, protected by thousands of aircraft in addition to thousands of anti-aircraft guns, which has largely stabilized the mood of Tokyo citizens.

Suddenly, a shrill siren sounded, and Tachitakanosuke was startled, his first reaction was that the Chinese Air Force actually attacked Tokyo in the daytime? This was too bold, he hurriedly looked up at the sky, the sky was cloudless, the sky was intoxicatingly blue, there was not the slightest shadow of an airplane, and finally he saw a few red balloons hanging on the flagpole in the heights, his heart was a little settled, fortunately, it was just a drill.

The sirens continued to sound and shrill and sharp, and as the sirens sounded, people rushed out of their homes and shops, men and women with various sleeves on their arms running down the streets, some standing at intersections to assist the police and gendarmes in directing traffic, others going door-to-door to remind people to turn off the electricity, turn off the fire, and get out as soon as possible.

"Sir, sir! What are you still doing, enemy planes are about to come to the air attack! Hurry up to the bomb shelter! ”

Tatsutakanosuke turned his head to see that it was a middle-aged woman in her forties, wearing a half-worn sack-style loose dress, and at the moment the clothes were tied up by ropes, and the two white arms were outside, making the woman look very lean. At this moment, the woman's expression was a little serious and a little anxious, and seeing that Tachitakanosuke was still standing there without moving, she urged again: "Sir! Mr! It's a drill, but you should take it seriously, so hurry up! ”

As if he had just woken up, he smiled at the woman, "Yes, yes, I'll go." ”

After that, Tatsutakanosuke turned around and walked with the flow of people to the bomb shelter, where there were more and more people, and the young woman was holding the older child on her back, and talking to her neighbors about the nearest firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

Japan is practicing the strictest rationing system, almost all substances are rationed, rice,

Flour, vegetables, meat, cloth, soap, matches, and even hot water for bathing all require neighborhood associations to visit their homes every day: neighborhood associations were formed a year before the Taiping War, similar to China's baojia system, but much more lenient than the baojia system. Mobile phone sites

While most Japanese men are away from home, women are more dependent on their neighbors at home, and relatives and friends are often less important at this time, because it is often the neighbors who can help when they need help, and relatives and friends can be hundreds of kilometers away.

However, Tatetakanosuke soon found that many people were still standing outside the entrance of the shelter instead of entering the bomb shelter, watching the volunteers on the street pass buckets and hand sandbags while stretchers carried stretchers to the rescue point for bandaging.

After Sasebo was burned down, Tokyo immediately re-established fire prevention measures, with firebreaks cleared in each street, water tanks and sandbags prepared in each residential area, and firefighting teams and medical teams were set up in each residential area, and the members of the medical teams were trained to perform simple treatments such as wound treatment and dressing.

The firetruck came speeding with bells, and when the car stopped, firefighters in red uniforms jumped out of the car to connect the water pipes to the faucets, while several women carried fire extinguishers and sprayed at the fire. All this was in order, and the citizens who were observing from the side watched with interest, and they were still watching

Commentator Takanosuke listened attentively to the discussion of several women next to him, and he couldn't help but smile slightly, the women were talking about the members of the firefighting team and the policemen who maintained order next to him.

"There is a shortage of men in Japan right now." Tatsunosuke smiled in his heart, his eyes searched the crowd to see where the two plainclothes who had followed him just now, and soon he saw two plainclothes standing on the steps not far from him.

Tatsunosuke smiled defiantly at them, then turned his head to continue watching the drill, and just as he turned his head, he felt a familiar face flash, and he hurriedly looked back, and sure enough, he saw his former assistant Tanabe in the crowd.

Tatsutakanosuke frowned slightly, thought about it and raised his hand and shouted, "Tanabe-kun! Tanabe-kun! ”

Hearing this, Tanabe in the crowd turned his head and quickly spotted Tachitakanosuke with his arms raised, a smile appeared on his face, and he squeezed through the crowd.

"General, why are you here? I thought you were back in Kyoto. Tanabe was very happy and still maintained his title of Takanosuke in the army.

"No, I'm a homeless person, it's all the same there" Tachitaka no Suke hehe, he didn't see that he had just been forced to retire: "By the way, Tanabe-kun, I'm not a general now...... The age gap between us is not big, you can call me by my name. ”

Tanabe looked very resolute: "How can that work, in my heart, you will always be a general." ”

"Why are you here, haven't you returned to your hometown?" Tatsunosuke asked, Tanabe is a native of Yamagata Prefecture, in the northern part of Honshu, and has a wife and children, the eldest daughter is only 11 years old, and the eldest son is only 13

Year.

Tanabe shook his head, his expression a little desolate: "I am about to bring them to Tokyo, I have found a house, and I plan to pick them up in two days." ”

After a little hesitation, Tatsunosuke understood that Tanabe did not dare to go home, he was forced to retire, which would make him and his family looked down upon in his hometown.

"Your hometown is in the countryside, right?" Tachitakanosuke asked tentatively, Tanabe nodded, and Tachitakanosuke lowered his voice: "It's better to let them stay in their hometown, Tokyo, it must be the focus of the Allied bombing, and the countryside should be safer." ”

Tanabe smiled bitterly, he hadn't thought about this, but now that Japanese city is safe? The cynicism of the neighbors who remained in their homes was hard to bear, and as officers who had been forced to retire, the gendarmes could be home at any time.

Tanabe suddenly felt that the world was so big, but there was no place for him, and despair arose. Tatetakanosuke sighed: "Tanabe-kun, I think it's best not to go home for the time being, stay outside for a while, and then go back when the war is over." "The end of the war?" Tanabe smiled bitterly, God knows when the war will end, and Ligao watched two women running over quickly with a stretcher, on which lay a teenage child, the child's body was smeared with red liquid and looked like it was covered in blood, and the woman next to him let out a low exclamation.

"How long do you think we can last" Tatsutakanosuke sighed and continued to lower his voice: "Japan is such a big place, and only a few cities can withstand a few bombings.

Fukuoka has been destroyed, this is just a reconnaissance act of the Shina people, and it is also to attract the planes defending Honshu to Kyushu, once they find out, the next step is Honshu Tokyo Daijun Kyoto, both are their targets, the more heavy industrial cities the more dangerous they are. ”

The recent huge change in identity has degraded Tanabe's sense of war, and Tatetakanosuke's reminder came very timely, and his expression suddenly relaxed a lot.

"Let's go, the exercise is almost over." Tachitakanosuke, Tanabe looked up, there were already people around him who had begun to leave quietly, Tanabe slowly walked out with Tachitakanosuke, the street was now even more empty, and the two of them walked along the street towards Shibuya Ward.

"General, who are the two people in the back?" Tanabe soon spotted two suits following behind, and the two men were clearly following them.

"That's why I didn't go back to Kyoto, it's because of this, I'm going back, and people are in trouble, so let's stay in Tokyo, everyone is simpler." Tachitakanosuke said self-deprecatingly.

Tanabe was a little angry, he stopped and turned around to walk towards the suit, but Tachitakanosuke grabbed him: "No, no, they are just acting on orders, Tsuchihara, hum ,........."

Tatsutakanosuke sneered twice, and Tanabe was extremely angry: "This is too much!" General, you should complain to the military department! ”

Litakanosuke shook his head: "The special train incident, although I didn't find out who leaked the secret, but I should be responsible, the decision to retire, I accept, but, we, deal with it a little heavier, with the words of the person, this is a rabbit with grass, don't care about anything, go down with a knife, it seems that there is no trouble, but what is the actual one?" Who knows. ”

Tanabe looked at Tachitakanosuke, deeply feeling the guilt, helplessness, anger and unwillingness in his heart, the two of them walked forward silently, and after a block, the street was met by a man wearing a traditional light-colored kimono, the man had a camera hanging on his chest, this person kept stopping, holding up the camera to both sides of the street.

Tatsunosuke's pace slowed down, and he looked at him a little strangely, and Tanabe also stopped, looking at the somewhat strange man as well.

"Nakajima-kun, what are you doing here?" Tatsunosuke spoke, a hint of surprise in his tone.

Yasuken Nakajima stared at Tachitakanosuke for a while before recognizing Ritakanosuke: "Ritaka-kun, it's you, you ......, I didn't expect to meet you." ”

Yasuken Nakajima was also a little surprised to see what Tatsunosuke was wearing, but then remembered what happened to them, and immediately changed his words, and smiled lightly when he saw that Tatsunosuke was still staring at the camera in his hand.

"I want to take some pictures as a souvenir." Yasuken Nakajima looked at the neat streets and gorgeous buildings: "If you look at these shops, most of them are thousands of years old. ”

"Ligao-kun, are you interested in going to Sensoji Temple to see, according to it, it has been around for more than a thousand years."

Nakajima's expression was a little lonely, and his tone was not very warm.

Without waiting for Takanosuke to speak, Tanabe said sarcastically: "Nakajima-kun, you are so leisurely, is the war over?" ”

Nakajima Yasuken is nothing, his eyes are still wandering around the shops on the street, the shops in this neighborhood are very distinctive, some are bungalows, some are like temples, the top of the house is pointed, the roof is squatting and carving beautiful beasts, and all kinds of auspicious beasts and immortals are painted on the sorghum. @
