Chapter 557: Catch them all
On a snowy night, under a leeward rock, Hirohito huddled shivering, under his feet was a dark and dreary mountain forest, outside the mountain forest, from near and far, the fire became more and more dense, but it was not the lights of the bustling city of Tokyo in peacetime, it was the fire of war that destroyed everything. The fire of the explosion of the shells, the tail flame of the rockets, the searchlight column that indicates the target for the anti-aircraft guns, the light of the vents of the jet fighters as they dive past in the sky, and of course, the brilliant fire nets of the anti-aircraft guns when they fire into the air.
This is Tokyo, this is his capital.
No, this is not Tokyo, this is Shanghai, Nanjing more than twenty years ago!
Suddenly, a huge ball of fire in the distance swelled, and at the same time that the thunderous loud noise woke up Hirohito, who was a little dazed, and the mushroom cloud of flames also rose into the sky.
That was the mother of the bombs dropped by the Ming army.
Just like when the Japanese fighters dropped white shells in Chongqing.
In the darkness of Tokyo Bay, countless fires suddenly shone at a very fast speed, and then countless fires exploded densely in the city of Tokyo.
It was the shelling of the battleships Iowa and Wisconsin and a dozen heavy cruisers of the US Army, and it was the bombardment of 406 mm and 203 mm naval guns, just like when the Combined Fleet bombarded Shanghai on the Yangtze River.
Then a few meteors pierced the night.
The next moment, several terrifying flames not far from him suddenly exploded, and even Hayama under his feet was trembling violently.
It was a Scud missile launched by the Japanese Liberation Army.
"It's all robbers, it's all devils!"
Hirohito screamed as if hysterical.
A few hundred meters away in the dense forest, a Ming army officer with a single soldier's night vision device moved his ears. He quickly stopped the footsteps of his companion beside him. But all he could hear was the distant sound of a dense explosion of shells. The officer immediately called the communications corpsmen and used the radio to notify the Pixiu helicopters in the sky, and soon one of them flew over, turned on a searchlight like a robot fighter in the Terminator, and began to carefully search the ground.
Looking at the pillar of light that gradually moved towards him, Hirohito was so frightened that he quickly arched into a dense bush next to him, and then a foul smell came from his nose, and in front of him was a pile of animal feces of unknown nature. But at this time, he didn't care about this, listening to the sound of the propeller turning closer and closer overhead, he resolutely lowered his head, and soon in the corner of his eye, the light of the searchlight swept over, and he was so frightened that half of his face almost arched into the dung, and he didn't dare to move and prayed for Anameasu's blessing.
But it didn't help.
"What is this?"
On the Pixiu helicopter in the sky, a pilot looked curiously at the screen in front of him, and the red color formed by the heat emitted from Hirohito's body on the screen stood out against a cold background. Another pilot quickly adjusted the plane. The beam of the searchlight immediately locked onto the bush where Hirohito was hiding, but he could not be seen from the sky. The bushes hide His Majesty the Emperor very well.
"Blue Five, there are suspicious targets here!"
The first pilot quickly informed the search detachment below by radio.
Ten minutes later, the officer who had just appeared with a squad of soldiers, took off the night vision goggles on his eyes, walked to the bushes in the strong wind brought up by the helicopter propellers, and used the latest Type 58 automatic rifle in his hand to remove the bushes that obstructed his vision.
"It's disgusting!"
He subconsciously ducked back.
A soldier next to him opened the kettle and poured some cold water on Hirohito's face to rinse off the foul-smelling feces.
The officer took out a photo, pulled his head at the right angle, then carefully compared it, and said to the radio station with great satisfaction: "Sir, we have caught Hirohito!" β
Half an hour later, Hirohito, who was handcuffed, was dragged out of the helicopter by two soldiers like a dead dog, still in front of Han Xu, who stood respectfully next to an officer wearing a Ming military uniform, but with an armband of a juju flower. This is the symbol of the Wa King's National Defense Guard, that is, Kumazawa Kuando's own army, as a vassal king of the three types of subject states and the Ming Dynasty, he, like the King of Goryeo and the King of Annam, has his own royal defense army, but it is under the unified command of the General Staff of the Ming Army during the war.
The situation is similar to that of the Austro-Hungarian Royal Hungarian Guard.
And this is Major General Yamada, commander of the 1st Brigade of the National Defense Guard of the Wa King, who has just arrived on a Hercules transport plane.
"General Yamada, can you see if this is Hirohito?"
Han Xu said.
Yamada bowed slightly, and immediately stepped forward to turn over Hirohito, who was paralyzed on the ground, with his feet, and then squatted down and took the flashlight handed by a soldier and looked at it carefully, then stood up and kicked it aside like a dead dog, and then said to Han Xu: "Your Excellency Commander, it is that traitor!" β
"Very well, he and his family will be handed over to you, and they will be sent back to Kagoshima to be held first, and wait for the bailiffs of the Imperial Supreme Court to arrive."
Han Xu said with satisfaction.
Immediately afterwards, Hirohito's wife and the remaining sons and daughters, brothers, and even daughters-in-law, sons-in-law and nephews were all escorted out, all of whom were originally hiding in the US military base, waiting to follow the boat once the US troops retreated. Hirohito's mind is clear enough, it doesn't mean that their brain is also clear enough, and with the acquiescence of the US military, he was quickly served by the Ming army in charge of arresting, and stood there in fear with handcuffs one by one, looking at His Majesty the Emperor lying on the ground like a dead dog.
Major General Yamada looked at these people, especially the noble son who was just in his early twenties, and bowed solemnly with a hint of excitement and said, "Subordinates obey orders!" β
So in this way, the Hirohito family, the number one criminal of the Ming Empire, was officially arrested.
In addition to his family, there was also his younger brother Xuanren, Chongren, who did not die until the time when Yang Yuantou ran here, as for Yongren, he had already died of illness, and there were also a large number of war criminals of the imperial family of the Japanese Kingdom who could still be found, including Minoru of the East Jiuer Palace. As for the one who can't find it, he has to do it, anyway, in the current chaotic state of the Wa Kingdom, what can't be found is basically a dead end, even if the one who doesn't die, he hides incognito in which corner but is gone, in short, the royal family of the Wa Kingdom is basically wiped out this time, as for how to deal with these people, it depends on the Supreme Court of the Empire.
The Ming Dynasty is a country governed by the rule of law.
"Hirohito will be hanged, Minoru will be hanged too, it is a shame to let an army general live until now, as for the others, they will be exiled to the indoctrination camp on West Irian Island!"
Yang said with satisfaction to the list in front of him.
The camp is actually the gold mine of Glasberg, because of the harsh conditions, even if the road is paved with the bones of tens of thousands of Japanese people, it is still a wild place, and there are still thousands of Japanese people who have survived like cockroaches to mine for him. And these people are also criminals, but the Ming Dynasty's own Chinese criminals, the Ming Criminal Law still retains the punishment of exile, all the Chinese sentenced to exile are thrown there, anyway, there is no place to run, except for the smelter hundreds of kilometers away, the rest of the radius of hundreds of kilometers is all primeval forest.
Then these exiles were given weapons, and they were put in charge of managing those Japanese prisoners, and in the future, the Japanese royal family would be thrown there, and it was up to them whether they could survive or not.
"It's cheap enough not to kill them all over the house."
Yang said again.
In this way, the fate of the royal family of the Wa Kingdom was decided by him with a stroke of the pen.
"FΓΌhrer, Han Xu believes that under the current situation, if you want to complete the reversal of the tide of the war, you must add at least four brigades, and the early battles on the front line can be seen that the Japanese Liberation Army is not easy to deal with, and on the first day we joined the Tokyo battlefield, there were more than 100 soldiers killed and wounded, and two armed helicopters were shot down. It is said that they are all like crazy people, and there are even those who rushed to our tank with explosives strapped to their bodies, and one of the Leopards was blown up because of this, so it can be said that it is indeed not easy for the US military to fight until now. β
Chen Hu said.
More than 100 casualties on the first day of the battle were indeed very surprising for the Ming army, even on the battlefield of Western Australia, when the fighting between the two sides was the most intense, the Ming army's casualties in one day did not exceed 100.
"That's because our people haven't fought much real street fighting, our previous victories were all won in field battles, and they naturally didn't adapt to urban street fighting, and they did need to increase their troops, but not a few more brigades, most of our brigades were heavy mechanized brigades, and the urban street fighting itself was not suitable for them. Order all brigades to transfer all the air cavalry battalions, and assign six additional air cavalry battalions to each of our brigades on the Tokyo battlefield, of course, there is no need for helicopters to go over, just soldiers to go over, and the street fighting environment is still more suitable for them. β
Yang Feng said.
His air cavalry battalion is actually a special reconnaissance battalion, trained according to the standards of the special forces of later generations, and specializes in carrying out infiltration behind enemy lines, small-scale sneak attacks on the battlefield, in short, all kinds of miscellaneous activities, these people are undoubtedly good at street fighting, especially the large proportion of snipers in this area, which is particularly suitable for this kind of battlefield. A big purpose of his participation in the war at this time was to use Tokyo as a training ground to train the Ming army's ability to fight in urban street battles, although the Ming army could be said to be invincible before, but large-scale street battles in the real sense were basically not fought, and it was rare to find a modern urban training ground like Tokyo.
"Also, let the Ministry of Defense bid for the urgent procurement of a batch of armored bulldozers."
Then he added.
"Bulldozer?"
Chen Hu was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, it's a bulldozer, with a lot of horsepower and thick armor, and it can easily knock down a building."
Yang Feng said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
