Decisive battle in Tokyo

The headquarters of the Chinese Expeditionary Force at the Tokyo airport, with the passage of time, the total strength of the Japanese army assembled in the Japanese capital Tokyo has swelled to a staggering 60,000 men.

Although among these 60,000 people, only one Guards Division really has combat effectiveness. But, in any case, even if it is 60,000 pigs, it will take a long time to kill them all. More importantly, with the large-scale landing of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the number of Japanese troops assembled in Tokyo was still increasing.

"Commander-in-chief, this is a piece of information just sent out by the intelligence officers in the city, mainly introducing the equipment and heavy firepower of the Japanese army in Tokyo, and we took a lot of money to get it...."Walking into the office, the confident Zuo Quan directly put a piece of information in front of Liu Hua, and said with a hint of excitement.

After quickly browsing the information in his hand, Liu Hua's face was instantly shrouded in a confident smile. Then, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Chief of Staff, I didn't expect that the Japanese army, which was known as the No. 1 combat power in Asia a few years ago, has declined to this point in less than a few years. ”

"Hmm... I also did not expect that the city of Tokyo, as the capital of Japan, was so impoverished that it could not even get a decent weapon....It seems that for the sake of the Pacific Theater, the Japanese government has exhausted all its strategic reserves, and even the national fortunes of the entire country have gambled. However, this is just cheaper for us, and my Chinese expeditionary force has a chance to reap the benefits of the fisherman..."Zuo Quan also sighed with emotion.

Originally. The total strength of the Japanese army in Tokyo on the surface. Although it reached a staggering 60,000 people. However, among these 60,000 people, there is a lot of moisture. In addition to the Guards Division, a large number of local garrisons and police units were left that quickly gathered around them.

Of course, in addition to these troops with proper equipment, in order to cope with the shortage of troops in the city, the General Staff Headquarters directly recruited more than 15,000 recruits from among the people in the city through various means such as arresting strong men. As for the equipment of these recruit units, because the equipment reserves in the city have long been depleted. It can be described as antique....there are shotguns, and there are old rifles used in the First World War....Of course, there are more troops who are only armed with cold weapons such as katanas.

After having a certain understanding of the Japanese army in the city, and being confident in the next decisive battle. Liu Hua immediately set his eyes on his expeditionary force and asked, "Chief of Staff, a day and a night have passed, how many troops have the expeditionary force landed?" How many combat-ready soldiers have been assembled in the entire Tokyo airport.7..."

"The Sixth Corps landed in its entirety and assembled around the Tokyo airport. At present, the naval fleet at Yokosu Military Port is constantly unloading logistics supplies and heavy equipment used by various units to the docks. Of course, these baggage and heavy equipment are also being transported to the airport in a steady stream under the transportation of the logistics troops...."

"The 7th Corps landed halfway. The guard column landed a third ... However, a main force of the Seventh Corps and a guard division of the Guard Column have successfully arrived at the airfield and completed the assembly..."

"The four air divisions of the Air Force have all been transferred, except for the 1st Air Force Division, which has been on standby and ready to take to the air at any time. The pilots of the remaining three divisions, all of them are resting, replenishing their strength ...."

"In addition, an advance regiment sent by Commander Chen Geng of the Sixth Corps. Less than twenty kilometers from Tokyo, it was violently blocked by a Japanese infantry wing, and it had come to a standstill....It was reported that this Japanese blocking force was probably their Guards Division, which was not only well-equipped, but also specially equipped with a number of rapid-fire guns specially designed to deal with tanks...."Zuo Quan replied. ..., Liu Hua nodded noncommittally. Then he said.

"The strength of an advance regiment, whatever one may say. It's all petty fights. It's already unexpected to be able to go to such a big result... Chief of Staff, I mean, we already have more than four main armies in our hands, and we have an absolute advantage in terms of strength and equipment... So, is it possible to start a decisive battle around Tokyo, the capital of Japan, nearby..."

"Commander-in-chief, do you mean to besiege the city of Tokyo..."The keen Zuo Quan immediately understood Liu Hua's intentions, and asked directly.

"Four main armies, one army is responsible for one direction. The guard column is responsible for defending the Tokyo airport, and at the same time, the 1st Air Force Division will not rest from now on, and will carry out 24-hour continuous air strikes against the Japanese troops in Tokyo as regiments...."Liu Hua replied affirmatively.

The battle order was issued, and the four main armies began to operate at high speed like war machines. Under the guidance of aerial reconnaissance, the four main forces carrying a large amount of heavy equipment, like unsheathed swords, penetrated directly into the city of Tokyo, the capital of Japan, from four different directions....

Air force cover, ground artillery strikes, plus assault tanks ... In less than two days, Tokyo, the capital of Japan, was surrounded by more than 100,000 troops.

Of course, nearly 1,000 heavy guns of various calibers equipped by the four main armies also raised their heads at the same time, and aimed the muzzles of the black holes directly at the city of Tokyo, which was close at hand....

At the General Headquarters of the Expeditionary Force, Liu Hua did not pay too much attention to the rapid progress of the Fourth Route Army. After all, the comparison of all kinds of strength is here, not to mention anything else, the combat power of Chen Geng's advance regiment is there. If the results of the Fourth Route Army were not as good as the advance regiment, there would be no need for these army commanders and division commanders to continue to exist.

Looking at the combat sand table, Tokyo City, the capital of Japan, which has been surrounded by regiments and has completely become an isolated city. Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua's face was immediately shrouded in a thick look of pride.

After a quick glance at all the senior commanders participating in the battle in front of him, Liu Hua said directly to the point.

"Comrades, I won't say much about the importance of Tokyo to the Japanese government....Before the battle officially begins, I would like to remind you that you should not forget the shame of the Japanese army capturing the capital of the former Nationalist Government, Nanjing, and do not forget the hundreds of thousands of compatriots brutally killed by the Japanese army in Nanjing...."

"Here, I would like to state to you once again that we are now fighting on the Japanese mainland, not at home, and that all the troops participating in the war must put away their domestic set. Because for the Japanese, we are the aggressors. And as an aggressor, it will never be recognized by the Japanese people. ”

"So, in the course of the battle, no one can show mercy. After the invasion of the city of Tokyo, all those who participated in the resistance to the Japanese, whether soldiers or ordinary people, had to be shot. This is a piece of advice and a military order for you..."

"In addition, the next battle was the first battle since the landing of my expeditionary force. At the same time, it was also a great deterrent to the Japanese army and people. So, you can only win, not lose... Now, I would like to ask the Chief of Staff to give you an introduction to the firepower of our expeditionary force in this decisive battle..."

Under Liu Hua's signal, Zuo Quan walked directly to the huge sand table and opened his mouth.

"Comrades, according to statistics, the total strength of our expeditionary force participating in the battle this time is 130,000. In terms of heavy firepower, there are four regiments of 150 heavy howitzers, 12 regiments of 105-mm howitzers, 36 battalions of 75-mm field guns, and the number of long-range artillery all adds up to a staggering 1,500 pieces..."..., "In addition, in addition to these large-caliber guns, we are equipped with a heavy tank regiment, four medium tank regiments, 12 medium tank assault battalions, a total of more than 300 tanks and armored vehicles...."

"On the naval side, there are more than 150 naval guns with a caliber of 200 millimeters from the sea, providing us with sufficient naval artillery support..."

"In terms of the Air Force, throughout the course of the battle, there will be two aviation divisions directly participating in the battle, including various fighters and more than 200 bombers, responsible for all-weather air support and air strikes on the entire battlefield..."

"As for the Japanese troops in the city of Tokyo, according to a large amount of information provided by intelligence officers, plus the bombing of the 1st Air Division for two consecutive days. The two Japanese heavy artillery wings stationed in the city were wiped out a day ago..."

"Therefore, throughout the battle, our Chinese Expeditionary Force will occupy an absolute superiority in firepower and equipment...," Zuo Quan reported with a confident face.

As soon as his words fell, Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua changed his words and continued to speak.

"Comrades, you have also seen our superiority, and it is no exaggeration to say that even with the use of artillery shells, we can also bombard the entire city of Tokyo. However, I would like to tell you that even if we flatten the entire city of Tokyo, truly occupy Tokyo, and destroy the Japanese army in the city, it will ultimately depend on our army units. ”

"Therefore, I hope that everyone will not live up to the cover of such heavy artillery fire, lead the troops, and achieve the greatest victory with the least casualties. At the same time, let's not forget the phrase that the chairman often admonishes us: 'Strategically despise the enemy, tactically attach importance to the enemy...' Okay, now that I'm done, do you have any other opinions on this battle? ”

"No...."The commanders of the army, with excited expressions, replied directly.

"Okay, now I'll announce the battle order...."Liu Hua ordered with a dignified face.

"Order, all units tonight at ten o'clock sharp, on time to launch an artillery bombardment of the city of Tokyo-... Half an hour after the shelling, the armies launched siege battles on their own....Whoever was the first to storm the city of Tokyo will be credited with the first merit of our expeditionary force. Is it all clear? ”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."

In this way, a decisive battle around Tokyo, the capital of Japan, that decided the fate of the Japanese government, began...
