Chapter 1992: A Heavy Price
In the city of Tokyo, the terrible sound of air raid sirens constantly reminds the people to enter the nearest air-raid shelter or basement, and the citizens of Tokyo, who were still celebrating the "great victory of the imperial army" two days ago, are at a loss for what to do. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
At this time, the Japanese air defense troops had already entered the air defense positions around Tokyo, and the anti-aircraft guns were pointing straight into the sky, and the officials everywhere were constantly cheering up their soldiers, telling them that behind them were their relatives, the imperial garden of His Majesty the Emperor, and that no bombs should be allowed to fall to defile this sacred land.
Major General Sanada Suiichiro, the former head of the Operations Section of the General Staff Headquarters who was purged after Ishihara Waner left the Tokyo Air Defense Command, looked at the report in his hand with a nervous expression and asked in great shock: "How is this possible?" The speed is up to forty kilometers per minute, so that an hour is 2,400 kilometers, almost twice the speed of sound...... What flying machine in the world can reach such speeds? β
Sanada Shoichiro, who had long served as the chief of the operations section of the General Staff Headquarters, was well versed in all kinds of weapons in various countries around the world, and this time he was squeezed out by Hideki Tojo to serve as the commander of air defense, and he also deliberately read a series of arrangements made by Ishihara Waner for the defense of the Japanese archipelago when he was in office, which mentioned the possible attack methods against Japan. But, no matter what, in his mind, there was no weapon that could reach such extreme speed.
Watanabe Magnolia Shaozuo, director of the radar station, looked anxious: "At first, I thought the calculation was wrong, and once again asked a specially hired quick calculation expert to perform the calculation, and the results were completely consistent." Commander, you must give the order to fire all the anti-aircraft guns together, and only then will there be a chance to shoot down the enemy's mysterious high-speed flying weapons! β
Sanada Suiichiro turned to the chief of staff, Kobayashi Kotool Osa: "According to the speed of the enemy's flying weapons, it will enter our anti-aircraft fire network in another three minutes, is there any hope of knocking down these high-speed flying weapons?" β
Kobayashi Guangmel's expression was solemn: "The anti-aircraft guns defending Tokyo's airspace are all added with proximity fuses, the density of firepower and the firing height are very amazing, plus there is radar speed measurement and ranging, any hostile fighter that invades Tokyo's airspace will face a severe test!"
"However, the weapons that have invaded our airspace this time are so fast that they have flown at an altitude of more than 90 kilometres and are then in a descending motion, and we cannot be sure whether they are out of range of our anti-aircraft guns as they pass through our anti-aircraft fire network. However, we have to try to intercept it anyway, otherwise if something goes wrong, we will be held accountable! β
Sanada Suiichiro nodded, and immediately gave an order: "The air defense positions in the west, northwest, and north of the city will open fire now." Anti-aircraft fire in the north-east, east and port areas of the city was on full alert...... The enemy's weapons are going to fall on Tokyo after all, and we must destroy them all! β
"Heyβ"
Second Lieutenant Fujimoto, an operations staff officer, quickly recorded Sanada's orders and quickly conveyed them.
As the various anti-aircraft artillery positions began to fire at the air, dense explosions sounded over the city of Tokyo, and the violent explosions, as well as the black smoke that accompanied the explosions that covered the blue sky, suddenly turned the originally orderly retreat in the city into chaos, and the screams, exclamations, and cries of the people came one after another, trampling on the dead and wounded.
Hideki Tojo, who was evacuating the General Staff Headquarters building, raised his wrist to look at his watch, and then at the black clouds that were constantly exploding in the sky, and said a few words to Anan angrily:
"What is Suiichiro Sanada doing? From the western territory or the northern coast to Tokyo, even the fastest fighter plane has to fly for at least half an hour, so isn't it a waste of the Empire's precious ammunition to shoot in the air so early? Also, such a fierce shelling will only create a sense of insecurity among the population! β
Under Ishihara's plan, the current air defense force is under the leadership of the Aviation Directorate, so Anan Yuji can be regarded as Sanada Suiichiro's direct boss, Anan Yui felt that Tojo Hideki was right, and immediately turned his head and instructed Lieutenant Inada, a staff officer beside him: "Go and call the Air Defense Command and ask them to stop this useless move immediately!" β
Lieutenant Inada, who had received the order, immediately returned to the military headquarters building to make a phone call, and under the protection of a group of military police, Hideki Tojo and Yukiji Anan quickly approached the gate of the underground command center under a dense forest in the heart of Shinjuku's Hinatani Street, which was more than 200 meters away from the General Staff Headquarters building and which Ishihara had spent two years building, when a loud noise suddenly came from the sky.
Hideki Tojo and Anan looked up a few times, only to see the sky fluttering, and the silver aluminum foil strips reflected the sun's brilliance and sprinkled the earth like raindrops.
Just when the two of them were puzzled, the explosion of "boom" sounded in their ears again, and the earth trembled violently, and Hideki Tojo, who was caught off guard, fell to the ground like a dog gnawing, and the staff officer next to him hurriedly stepped forward and helped the embarrassed Hideki Tojo up.
Hideki Tojo couldn't care about his image at this time, so he vigorously pushed away the staff officer who was supporting him, turned his head to look at the place where he came, and saw a huge column of smoke rising from the military headquarters building, and the original three-story brick and concrete structure of the building had been knocked open from the skylight, and at this time flames were shooting out from the broken wall.
Hideki Tojo gasped, and before he could speak, another loud bang came, and this time it turned out to be Chiyoda Gyoen, three kilometers to the southeast, with a raging fire.
It's over, His Majesty's sacred palace has been attacked! It was the first thought that came to the minds of all those who witnessed it.
And that's not all, there was a loud explosion in the port area south of the city, and although it was five or six kilometers away from Shinjuku, the huge noise that followed was a sign that the situation was very bad.
Hideki Tojo was drenched in cold sweat, and his face became flushed because of his nervousness.
Until this time, Hideki Tojo still did not know what had happened, and in such a short time, what weapons did the Chinese use to attack Tokyo?
At this time, the "reckless senior soldier Tojo" could no longer care about cursing, he quickly walked into the heavily guarded underground entrance, ignored the soldiers on duty on both sides and saluted him, walked directly into the elevator, came to the second basement floor, strode into the war room, and instructed the staff officer to answer the phone of the air defense command.
"Sanada, what are you doing? Why did the weapons of the Shina people wreak havoc on the sacred land of Tokyo! If you can't give a reasonable explanation, I will ask you to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor by caesarean section! β
Hideki Tojo took the microphone and asked with a grimace.
Sanada Suiichiro's frightened voice came: "Your Excellency, the people of China have used a missile with a speed of more than 2,400 kilometers per hour to attack us, this kind of missile is similar to a rocket, and it is very difficult to catch. Originally, we planned to use a dense network of anti-aircraft firepower, under the guidance of radar, to completely block the passage of the missiles. However, the enemy was very cunning, and the missile that arrived first had a self-destruct mechanism, and when it arrived in the airspace of Tokyo, it exploded, scattering the aluminum foil strips it carried, seriously interfering with our radar operations, and we could only rely on the ground air defense units to conduct aerial fire......
"What's especially bad is that just now Director Anan sent someone to ask us to immediately stop firing at the air, the enemy's missiles have fallen from the sky during the dispute, and at this time there are only three directions of anti-aircraft artillery fire, and I don't have time to give an order so that the anti-aircraft guns in other directions can fire into the air...... Although we managed to intercept two missiles with anti-aircraft fire from three directions, twenty or thirty of them still landed in the city of Tokyo! β
Hideki Tojo was very embarrassed when he heard this, knowing that it was he who suggested to Anan Yuji to stop shooting in the air, he hurriedly looked at him left and right, and asked, "Is there a big loss in this round of air raids?" Do you know where the enemy's missiles landed? β
Suiichiro Sanada said regretfully:
"Now the radar is seriously jammed, and we are unable to monitor the specific landing point for the time being...... Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, I am afraid that there will be follow-up missiles, which will cause even more harm to the city of Tokyo! β
Hideki Tojo said, "You should immediately contact the radar base station near the coast and monitor the new movement in the air at any time. By the way, is it just us in Tokyo that have been attacked, or have other places also been attacked? β
Sanada Suiichiro said: "As far as I know, Kure Port and Sasebo Military Port have both been attacked, and the others are not known for the time being, but I believe that the other side has such advanced weapons and will not give up attacking our important targets......"
Without waiting for Sanada to finish speaking, Hideki Tojo, who had an ugly face, hurriedly hung up the phone and immediately instructed the staff officers to contact various places to report the situation.
......
At this time, the city of Tokyo was in shambles.
Unbeknownst to Tojo, at the same time as the attack on Chiyoda Gyoen, the Yasukuni Shrine, which represents the spirit of bushido, militarism, and the symbol of national Shinto, was also attacked by two F-3 missiles.
Since the weapons of the two missiles were napalm, the moment they exploded, the almost all-wooden garden building was caught in flames.
The Yasukuni Shrine was built on August 6, 1869, and was originally known as the Tokyo Spiritualist Shrine to commemorate the soldiers who died in the Boshin War, Japan's civil war, during the Meiji Restoration, to restore the power of the Meiji Emperor. In 1879, the Tokyo Spiritualist Society was renamed the Yasukuni Shrine to officially enshrine the soldiers who died for Japan in all foreign wars.
So far, the Yasukuni Shrine has five buildings: the main hall, the worship hall, the shrine gate, the Yushokan, and the Saitei, and after the two napalm bombs exploded, the napalm that flew out was attached to the surface of the building, and it burned "cracklingly", and it happened that a Japanese recruit brigade was visiting here, and then collectively swore allegiance to the emperor in Saitei, and forged the soul of Yamato with blood, as a result, the Japanese troops of this brigade were devastated, and most of them were buried in the fire.
At the same time, more than 400 Japanese civilians who visited the Yasukuni Shrine were killed or wounded, and the nearby Yamamyofa Temple, a kindergarten, three high schools, and a university were unjustifiably damaged.
In addition to the attacks on Chiyoda Gyoen and the Yasukuni Shrine, the Prime Minister's Office, the National Assembly Building, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and Finance to the south of the Gyoen Garden were also hit by six missiles.
If the strike on these key targets has the meaning of a decapitation battle, then the strike on the Tokyo dock area is even more deterrent.
Tokyo is the economic center of Japan, most of Japan's enterprises are concentrated here, distributed in Chiyoda-ku, Chuo-ku and Minato-ku, etc., Tokyo and its south of Yokohama and east of Chiba area, together constitute Japan's industrial center, the main industries are steel, shipbuilding, machine manufacturing, chemicals, petrochemicals, etc., for Japan is extremely important Nippon Steel Corporation headquarters in Tokyo.
Some of the goods produced by these factories were transported by rail and road to various parts of Japan's main island of Honshu, and most of the rest were sent by sea to other islands and other parts of the world, so that large quantities of supplies, including the ports of Yokohama, Yokosuka, and Chiba, were stored, including large quantities of fuel oil refined by oil refineries and weapons and ammunition produced by arsenals.
Almost all of the missile strikes in this round were aimed at fuel and ammunition depots; because of the detailed information, the repeated approval of high-altitude reconnaissance planes, and the precise positioning carried out by the radar of high-altitude airships during the strikes, although the accuracy of the missiles' strikes was not high, basically the landing points were all within more than 100 meters of the target.
The high-explosive bombs ignited the oil depots and ammunition depots, and the ensuing napalm fueled the threat, so the direct consequence was that the port area along the coast of Tokyo Bay was destroyed, and the violent explosion led to the destruction of the ammunition depot and the oil depot, and the fire ignited the port area, and then the violent change in air flow brought strong winds, and the fire spread rapidly, so that it burned from south to north.
The Japanese have finally paid a heavy price for their wolf ambitions!
