Chapter 481: Chaos (2)

By killing the Emperor and the Japanese Imperial Family, the Hwa gained the advantage that the resistance of the Japanese army weakened, and a large number of Japanese soldiers surrendered to the Chinese army. The disadvantages are also obvious: the Japanese have lost their allegiance, and different interest groups have taken different measures for their own demands when the group is leaderless, resulting in the lack of a unified opinion among the Japanese top leaders.

When the two sides disagreed, the military department with force began to solve the problem in simple and crude ways, and the physical elimination of opponents was the best way for the military to solve the problem. Of course, the naysayers did not sit still.

Yasuya Uchida said: "After all, there are only a few people in Japan who advocate resisting to the end, and those civilians, peasants, corporations, bourgeoisie, and landlords all support our negotiation proposals, and even within the army, there are quite a few soldiers and officers who do not want to continue fighting. The Yamato nation has experienced too many deaths, the national strength is extremely withering, the people are struggling to survive, and countless people are starving to death every day. China has already proved to us that they are strong, and for the strong, we will not be ashamed to take the initiative to surrender, and perhaps we will benefit from it, and North Korea is not the best example! Only those middle and high-ranking generals stubbornly insisted, and some of the deceived soldiers obeyed their commands, and in fact they were isolated. ”

"What do you mean?" Inuyang Yi was thoughtful, as if he had caught something, but he couldn't think of anything.

"Get rid of the Americans and the British who fanned the flames, and cut off the United States from our views. Mobilize everyone to support us, civilians, peasants, workers and even soldiers, and launch armistice marches throughout Japan, with marchers surrounding the military headquarters. ”

"Good!" Inukai shouted excitedly, and with Yasuya Uchida threading the needle, he even began to refine the action steps in his mind.

Within the government, there was a force led by the former admirals, including Yuhiro Ito, Yuzaburo Kato, and Shinyuki Akiyama, who were also dissatisfied with the army's claims and were inclined to surrender. Yasuya Uchida, you go and contact Ito Yuhiro to test it, this old fox will definitely not give up the opportunity to gain more power in the future. If you kill those Americans and British, leave it to those consortia, who have raised a lot of dead soldiers, and this is time to help. ”

Annosuke Sato brought Yuma Hashiguchi a plan of action planned by Rihachiro Sakanishi, and soon this plan was handed over to Inukai Takeshi. However, the military department also has a dark line within the surrender faction, and the actions of Inu Yangyi and others have not escaped the eyes of the military department, both sides know each other's plans, and the key now is who makes the first move, who can grasp the opportunity.

The military headquarters sent the 1st Guards Division into Urawa, and the surrender faction sent people to incite the soldiers and officers of the Guards Division, and the military headquarters blocked the roads in and out of Urawa City, and the surrender faction bribed the army soldiers to help a large number of civilians and peasants enter the city and prepare to participate in the parade. The military department sent killers to assassinate the backbone of the surrender faction, and the surrender faction also used the dead soldiers trained by the consortium to assassinate the generals of the military department.

In the past few days, the business of the Hashiguchi bar has been much sluggish, and most of the Japanese, from top to bottom, have been implicated in this large-scale internal struggle. Even the beggars in front of the bar were hired to participate in the parade, not to mention the high-ranking people with high interests, who finally did not have time to come to the bar for pastime.

However, the purpose of this bar is not to make money, there are no customers coming, and there is still a lot of information gathered here. Yuma Hashiguchi, Shita Matsushita, and others are nervously compiling and analyzing various pieces of information and sending it back to Japan through secret channels.

The military headquarters was unable to prevent the march from taking place, and many soldiers and low-ranking officers of the Guards Division were instigated to rebel and become staunch supporters of the capitulation faction. They are losing control of the regime and military power.

At the entrance of the street, 500 meters away from the military headquarters building, hundreds of heavily armed soldiers are confronting tens of thousands of marchers, and more soldiers and more marchers are converging here.

Six Maxim heavy machine guns were placed behind the barricades, and they were the soldiers' greatest reliance. Like those marchers, these soldiers were the most staunch militarists in the Guards Division, and they could also be called insane. Therefore, when the order to shoot was given by their superiors, the soldiers did not hesitate to shoot, and aimed the muzzle of their heavy machine guns directly at the procession.

No one could have imagined that the soldiers of their own country would shoot directly, and the large-caliber bullets passed through several people before they stopped rolling, and within a few minutes, hundreds of people fell in pools of blood.

In the Hashiguchi bar, which is only a few dozen meters away from the scene of the incident, Yuma Hashiguchi and Shita Matsushita are lying in the narrow window of the basement looking out. There was chaos at the street entrance, and the marchers scrambled to escape in order to avoid bullets, and the casualties caused by stampede on each other were probably no less than those killed by bullets. The madness of a machine gunner who fires a chain of bullets and asks for a second chain can only be seen in the warlord melee of the Republican period - the madness of slaughtering their own people.

"Hehe, now I have to play, those crazy people in the military department are really willing to shoot, where do they get so many heavy machine gun bullets?"

"Well, if you don't shoot, they die, and if you shoot, you can't end up. No matter which way you look at it, these madmen in the military department are finished! Yuma Hashiguchi commented, and his eyes never left the scene of the massacre. Such a wonderful dog-eat-dog is not to be missed.

Yuma Hashiguchi is right, even if the military department orders to shoot, it will be a dead end. After the news of the massacre at the mouth of the street broke, the naval forces represented by Ito Yuhiro immediately announced that they had made a break with the army headquarters, and Inukai demanded that the military headquarters stop the massacre of civilians, immediately step down, reorganize the government, and call on all soldiers to lay down their arms and surrender to the Chinese army.

First, the 21st Standing Division, stationed 30 kilometers east of Urawa, announced that it had obeyed Inuyoyi's call, refused to obey the orders of the military headquarters, and marched towards Urawa under Inuyoyi's orders. In addition, more than 500,000 troops from Osaka, the 50,000 garrison in Kyoto, and other local troops announced that they refused to obey the orders of the military headquarters, and several reserve divisions and regiments on the front line directly laid down their arms and surrendered to the Chinese army. More than 3,000 soldiers of the Guards Division also defected and attacked the soldiers of the military headquarters in Urawa City. The resistance represented by the military headquarters had already defected, but another standing brigade supporting them had entered the city and given them the upper hand again, and if the 21st Division did not arrive soon, I feared that the civilians and surrenderers in the city would be slaughtered by the soldiers who obeyed the military headquarters.

Fifteen Westerners, including MacArthur, who stayed in a luxurious building, were equally frightened, and the liaison personnel sent by the military department kept conveying messages to MacArthur so that they could keep abreast of information from the outside world. The military department attaches great importance to these people, and a small group of heavily armed soldiers provides them with security guards.

Standing in front of the window, MacArthur could clearly hear the gunfire in the Urawa city, the scale of the scuffle getting bigger and bigger, the new troops entering the city from inside the Guards Division, the new troops entering the city from the outside, the civilians and police forces armed after the looting of the arsenal, and so on. Even explosions were heard one after another, and an Englishman, a former army officer, affirmed that it was the sound of howitzers.

"We must get out of here, if the military department fails, those militants who have lost their minds will point the finger at us!" An Englishman said to MacArthur anxiously.

"The military department controls the army army, how can they fail! Let's wait and see. MacArthur didn't know what was going on, but now they Westerners had nowhere to go, and maybe they would be killed by angry civilians as soon as they stepped out of the building, so they might as well stay here and wait and see what happened.

"What people!" A soldier standing at the doorway shouted at the entrance of the street, responding to him with a bullet, and the dead soldier who had come to assassinate MacArthur and the others found that the place was heavily guarded, and hesitated to attack it, not wanting to be discovered by the soldier who was in a nervous state.

More than fifty dead men jumped out from all sides, half armed with pistols, half with rifles, and two heavy machine guns, which were completely comparable to the firepower of the regular army. When the attacking dead men advanced with skilful tactical maneuvers, throwing grenades under the cover of heavy machine guns, the Japanese soldiers on guard knew that the enemy would definitely be veterans.

These dead soldiers are indeed veterans, and the best Army soldiers, and those consortia do not spare money to train them, and this is just one of the unknown forces of the consortia. (When I watched American dramas and movies with my classmates in college, I thought that all the conspiracies were behind the consortium.) China is due to the system, and the United States is due to the consortium, but they don't feel the same way? )

Neither side had received formal training in urban warfare, and both were using the old pig assault tactics, but the attackers had a clear advantage in firepower, and the soldiers of the guard squad suffered heavy losses and continued to retreat into the building. Both the gate and the courtyard had been lost, and the fighting soon spread to the interior of the building.

MacArthur and his fellow Westerners hid in the last room on the second floor in a trembling state, not realizing that this was the last time of their lives, and that the pride of Westerners in the face of Easterners would not disappear for a while. Even if this place is breached, those people don't dare to do anything to themselves as Westerners, this is the superiority of the country's strength for a long time.

So when countless bullets hit MacArthur, his eyes showed an incredible look, and the so-called superiority dissipated into the sky like his soul. (To be continued.) )
