Chapter 418: Decapitation Operation (II)

[I'm out for something, I'm late for the update, sorry]

The deafening sound of artillery resounded over the entire Tokyo Bay for more than three hours, and the Chinese Imperial Navy and Air Force dropped more than 100,000 tons of artillery shells and aerial bombs, destroying the Japanese army's coastal defense positions of more than 200 kilometers in Tokyo Bay, killing and wounding more than 30,000 Japanese soldiers. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info (Baidu search "Net", watch the latest update of this book)

At 9:10 a.m., the 3rd Battalion of the 258th Regiment of the 117th Division of the 39th Army of the Third Army of the Imperial Chinese Army took the lead in carrying out the beach landing battle at the "No. 4 Beach" in the Yokohama landing area, and successfully repelled the 213th Wing of the 33rd Coastal Division of the Japanese Army defending here.

After the 3rd Battalion of the 258th Regiment captured the No. 4 beachhead, it quickly built a beachhead fortress position to resist the ensuing Japanese counterattack.

With the successful landing of the 3rd Battalion on the beach, the positions of the Chinese and Japanese troops were only about 500 meters apart, and the guns of the Imperial Chinese Navy stopped fire support on the beachhead, and could only extend the artillery fire from a long distance to block the follow-up Japanese reinforcements. Air fighters continued to provide fire support, but in most cases the view was affected by the fire and smoke on the ground, so they did not inflict significant casualties on the Japanese.

Taking advantage of the weakening of the fire suppression of the Imperial Chinese Navy and Air Force, at 9:30 a.m., the remainder of the 213th Wing of the Japanese Army carried out a fierce counterattack against the 3rd Battalion of the 258th Regiment in an attempt to recapture the beachhead. The 3rd Battalion, under the leadership of the battalion commander Chen Jiji, stubbornly held the No. 4 beachhead and did not give an inch.

The Japanese were superior in numbers, but their firepower was very weak. The Japanese artillery position has been destroyed in the first round of shelling and bombardment, the supreme commander of the Japanese Yokohama District, Lieutenant General Takayama Kotsu, and several senior staff officers of the command headquarters were shot dead by the snipers of the Chinese Emperor's ** special forces before the battle, causing confusion in the Japanese anti-landing command system in the Yokohama District, and the follow-up Japanese reinforcements were unfavorable, so that the other two battalions of the 258th Regiment quickly landed on the No. 4 beachhead, and the 3rd battalion was reinforced. The Japanese suffered heavy casualties of more than 1,000 men and still failed to recapture their positions.

At 9:50, the artillery battalion of the 258th Regiment was in position and suppressed the Japanese with heavy artillery fire, which immediately smashed the Japanese army's attempt and kept the No. 4 beachhead.

After the No. 4 beachhead was consolidated, the 39th Army quickly listed the other five attack beachheads as feints, and the main force turned around and landed from the No. 4 beachhead.

At 11:40, the engineer company of the 258th Regiment completed an improvised trestle, and the two heavily equipped landing ships of the Third Army docked at the temporary trestle and sent a tank company and 20 M10 tanks to the beachhead to support the 258th Regiment.

At 12:20, the 258th Regiment used combat vehicles as cover to quickly break through the three lines of defense of the Japanese army, extending the landing zone to a landing security zone 13 kilometers wide and 10 kilometers deep.

In the face of the rampaging M10 tank, any rejection of horses, barbed wire, barriers, trenches, etc. could not be stopped, and as a result, the No. 4 beachhead was completely lost, and when the Japanese 213 Wing suffered more than two-thirds of the casualties, it was forced to give up and retreat on its own initiative.

Subsequently, the other three regiments of the 117th Division successively landed in the No. 4 beachhead area, and then the regiments attacked left and right, and under the assault of the tanks, the Japanese anti-landing positions in the Yokohama area were lost one after another.

By 5 p.m., the 117th Division was in full control of the five beachheads in the Yokohama landing area, and the Third Army successfully landed on the beach, becoming the first unit to successfully land in the Tokyo Bay landing campaign. It also suffered the smallest casualties, paying a total of 193 casualties, while the defending Japanese suffered more than 3,000 casualties.

Compared with the landing battle in Yokohama District, the landing battle of the Chinese Emperor ** in the five landing areas of Yokosuka, Kawasaki, Tokyo, Funabashi, and Chiba had their own difficulties.

In the Yokosuka landing zone, the Chinese Emperor's Seventh Army carried out a beach landing in the landing zone about 6 kilometers wide on Miura Beach, which stretched out on both sides with Yokosuka Port as the center, and the Japanese light infantry was deployed in the villages behind the beach dunes.

Since Yokosuka was a naval base for the Japanese army, there was no navy left, but the defense was very strong. The landing operation was extremely tragic from the beginning, and one-third of the landing craft of the Chinese Emperor were tragically destroyed by Japanese mines and obstacles. The attacking troops of the 311th Regiment of the 92nd Division of the 41st Army of the Seventh Army, although they easily crossed the beach, were relentlessly attacked by Japanese fire in front of the dunes, causing the casualties of the first wave of attacking troops to be as high as 23%.

Nearly noon, the 311th Regiment occupied the villages and towns along the coast, consolidated the beachhead, and as the heavy equipment such as chariots and artillery came ashore one after another, the Japanese firepower was quickly suppressed.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the other three regiments of the 92nd Division completed the landing, quickly supported the 311th Regiment, and advanced inland and on both flanks.

The main force of the 3rd Division, which was guarded by the Japanese army, was routed and had to retreat to Dainansan Mountain west of Yokosuka.

In the evening, the 92nd Division had opened up a landing security zone 23 kilometers deep and 33 kilometers wide, and then the armies of the Seventh Army successively landed in the Yokosuka landing zone.

In the Yokosuka landing zone, the Japanese army suffered more than 9,200 casualties, while the Chinese Emperor suffered 1,200 casualties.

Beach No. 33 in the Kawasaki landing zone, which was the central point of the entire Chinese Emperor landings, was made an hour later than the Yokohama and Yokosuka landings. Due to the high tide and poor sea conditions, the First Army of the Chinese Emperor was unable to completely remove mines and obstacles in the sea area, which also made the 17th Army, which wanted to quickly seize the beachhead, fall into a bitter battle. The Japanese army deployed heavy troops to defend the coastal towns of Okawa and Daejeon, and also set up eight 155-mm heavy guns 500 meters inland from the coast to aim directly at the coast.

Just as the Japanese army knew that they could not seize air supremacy, in the face of the Chinese Empire's aerial reconnaissance aircraft, the Japanese army was not without a response strategy, they covered up about one-third of the total number of artillery and machine-gun fortifications, and avoided the reconnaissance planes in the air of the Chinese Empire to take pictures, and these one-third of the artillery and heavy machine gun bunkers survived one-fifth under the three-hour naval and air force saturation strike of the Chinese Emperor.

These few artillery and heavy machine gun bunkers inflicted heavy casualties on the units of the 17th Army of the First Army that landed. However, the Japanese only had one chance to return fire, and when they opened fire, it meant that these hidden spots were exposed.

Subsequently, the command of the First Army suspended the attack and again called in naval guns and naval aviation fighters to deliver a second saturation strike on these Japanese concealed fortifications, which were quickly destroyed.

After losing these only artillery and heavy machine gun forts, the Japanese were no longer able to resist, and in the face of the fierce retaliatory actions of the 17th Army that followed, the Japanese 15th Division suffered more than half of the casualties, and had to abandon the Kawasaki anti-landing position and retreat 20 kilometers.

By nightfall, 25,000 troops of the First Army in the Kawasaki Landing Zone had landed and forced the Japanese coastal defense forces on both flanks of the defense to retreat at least 18 kilometers inland.

Urayasu Beach in the Tokyo Landing Zone was the most heavily fought beach in the entire Tokyo Bay Landing Campaign. The Chinese Emperor ** suffered huge losses on the Urayasu beachhead, with 2,500 people killed alone, which was called "Bloody Urayasu Beach" after the war.

Urayasu Beach is 8.6 kilometers long, and since Urayasu is the sea gate of Tokyo, the Japanese army did not defend the capital Tokyo, and a strong anti-landing defense position was placed here. Originally, the Edo River impact plain was very open and almost impossible to defend, but the Japanese army spent a lot of money to build vertical fortifications more than ten meters high on the flat coast, and with more than ten meters high breakwaters, it became easy to defend and difficult to attack like a cliff on the coast.

The landing combat mission here was carried out by the 4th Marine Division. Originally, Feng Guozhang knew that the mouth of Tokyo Bay was the beachhead of the Japanese army's key defense, so he did not plan to break through it, and after almost the other five landing zones completed the landing, he surrounded Tokyo from the left and right flanks, destroying the anti-landing defense line in Tokyo Bay in one fell swoop.

However, Feng Guozhang underestimated the fighting spirit of the Marine Corps too much, especially since the Navy and the Army are often more serious, and the Navy wants to be the boss of the three services, so the Marine Corps is even more reluctant to show weakness. &*。 Net. Fastest Update**

In this atmosphere, it is clear that the 4th Marine Division will not wait until after the army has completed the landing battle, and they have not yet taken the Urayasu beachhead.

In this way, the Fourth Marine Division did not carry out a feint attack in accordance with Feng Guozhang's order, but with the tacit consent of Deputy Commander Lin Jianzhang, it also became the main attack.

Although the Japanese army deployed the main forces of four divisions on both flanks of the port of Tokyo, Major General Chen Liangyu, commander of the 4th Marine Division, believed that after three hours of saturation shelling and bombardment by the Imperial Chinese Navy and Air Force, shells or bombs with a yield of 100 kilograms would fall on almost every square meter, and there would be no resistance of the Japanese army at all. At the same time, Chen Liangyu believed that the Japanese troops here did not have armored vehicles, and they could not stop the attack of the Chinese Empire's chariots at all.

After the landing campaign began, the Fourth Marine Division was killed by more than 300 officers and men due to excessive winds and waves before landing, and more than a dozen landing craft collided with hidden piles and mines. The Fourth Marine Division was formed only one year ago, and the officers and men on the landing craft were not yet able to fully adapt to seasickness and dampness; in addition to participating in actual combat for the first time, many soldiers did not meet the psychological quality of the soldiers, which aggravated the suffering caused by seasickness and clammy cold, and as a result, they were basically exhausted before they arrived at the combat site.

After the start of the landing operation, it was also very unsmooth, because during the secret battle between the agents of the Chinese Empire in Tokyo and the agents of the Japanese Special High School the day before, the Japanese army falsified the weather forecast and the situation of the waves and tides in Tokyo, and as a result, the intelligence personnel of the Chinese Empire had worked so hard to obtain the information was calculated by the Special High Division from the very beginning, resulting in intelligence errors.

Of the 32 combat vehicles prepared by the 4th Marine Division in the western section of the beach in the landing zone, 27 were submerged due to excessive wind and waves as soon as they entered the sea, and their engines sank, and 2 of the 5 combat vehicles that survived were quickly blown up by the Japanese army's concealed artillery fire. Due to the influence of the tide and the chaos of order, many of the Chinese Imperial soldiers who landed could not figure out the direction and assembly point, and a large number of soldiers crowded on the beachhead to allow the Japanese artillery to attack.

For two full hours, not a single soldier of the 4th Marine Division washed up on the beach in the western sector, and only occupied a 9-meter-wide section of the beach in the eastern sector, and the two battalions of marines were pinned down on the beach by Japanese fire, unable to move, and the landing operation was almost completely defeated.

However, the Imperial Chinese Navy was particularly concerned about the landing of the 4th Marine Division, which after all represented the honor of the Navy, which brought a turning point for the landing on Urayasu Beach.

Since there was no contact from the beach landing force for a long time, Chen Liangyu, commander of the 4th Marine Division, realized that the situation on Pu'an Beach might have been extremely grim, so he immediately reported the situation to Lin Jianzhang, deputy commander of the campaign and commander-in-chief of the fleet, and Lin Jianzhang immediately dispatched 37 destroyers to ignore the danger of being hit by mines, running aground, and being blown up by the 155-mm coastal artillery hidden by the Japanese army, and finally 34 destroyers safely advanced to only 730 meters from the beach to provide fire support for the officers and men of the 4th Marine Division at close range. The other three hunting ships ran aground on the reef and ran aground in mines, and their own naval towing ships rescued them.

The powerful rapid-fire artillery fire of the 34 rainstorm-class destroyers suddenly suppressed the Japanese anti-landing positions on the coast, and the only artillery and heavy machine guns of the Japanese army were unable to counterattack under the overwhelming rapid-fire shells of the destroyers.

Chen Liangyu seized this opportunity and immediately organized a death squad, and under the cover of the fierce rapid-fire guns of the destroyer, the death squad climbed the Yadan breakwater, only to find that the real 155mm guns of the Japanese army behind the breakwater were actually camouflaged telephone poles. Therefore, the naval guns were immediately called, the correct strike coordinates were provided, and the only remaining Japanese artillery positions were quickly destroyed.

The navy, which had no worries, unscrupulously poured artillery shells into the Japanese strongholds, and the officers and men of the 4th Marine Division, which had previously been blocked on the beach, also began to charge under the cover of artillery fire and death squads.

At noon, the second echelon of the landing force landed ahead of schedule. Under the guidance of the Air Force, Lin Jianzhang mobilized 8 Song-class battleships, 12 heavy cruisers, and 11 light cruisers to come to support, and also began to carry out heavy artillery bombardment of the Japanese coastal positions. The Japanese army thought that after the Chinese emperor launched an infantry landing, the navy would no longer mobilize naval artillery bombardment, so the main force of the Japanese army also rushed to the front line one after another to carry out anti-landing operations, but did not expect the Chinese Imperial Navy to launch a fierce naval artillery strike again, and the Japanese army suffered countless casualties in an instant, and the defense of Urayasu Beach completely collapsed.

When it was dark, the 4th Marine Division officially landed successfully, and Chen Liangyu opened a command post after he went ashore.

Although the 4th Marine Division failed to land at the beginning, it was eventually able to turn the tide with the help of the naval fleet and complete the landing before dark. If the defensive strength of the Japanese army is taken into account, the 4th Marine Division will undoubtedly face the most difficult landing zone, so the 4th Marine Division not only did not lose face to the navy, but once again won honor for the navy.

Similarly, in the Funabashi and Chiba landing areas, the Chinese Emperor ** also completed the beach-grabbing landing operation before dark, and achieved the predetermined planned victory.

In the entire shallow landing operation, the Chinese Emperor paid a huge price of more than 3,000 killed and more than 10,000 wounded, and finally successfully landed in six landing areas in Yokosuka, Yokohama, Kawasaki, Tokyo, Funabashi and Chiba.

In the Japanese army's anti-landing operation on this day, 17 divisions were defeated, 6 divisions were disabled, more than 50,000 people were killed, and nearly 80,000 were wounded.

Of course, the Third Special Operations Brigade of the Imperial Forest Army of the Chinese Empire parachuted behind the enemy before the general attack and wreaked havoc, resulting in the destruction of the Japanese army's first-line defense by the Chinese Imperial Navy and Air Force, and the rear failed to transport troops and materials to the coastal positions in time.

When the Chinese Emperor succeeded in the beach-grabbing landing battle, all units quickly built a consolidated and unified landing ground on the landing beachhead.

The Chinese Emperor ** developed inland according to the predetermined plan, the 1st Army captured Kawasaki, and the 4th Marine Division took on the main attack on Tokyo to contain the main force of the Japanese left flank. After the Royal Praetorian Guard's 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division and the 5th Marine Division stormed and occupied Chiba, they stormed Hachishiro and created the illusion of taking Tokyo directly, but in fact it was used as a feint.

Although the initial counterattack of the Japanese army has failed, but is not willing to let the development of the Chinese Emperor **, Prince Chiren adjusted the deployment, and found that the third mechanized infantry division of the Chinese Imperial Empire, thinking that it was the main force of the Chinese Emperor**, so he transferred heavy troops to defend the first line of Hachishiro and Funabashi, and at the same time, because the Miura Peninsula was attacked by the Chinese Imperial Navy on both sides, and the enemy was attacked on the back of the abdomen, so the troops of Yokosuka and Yokohama were withdrawn, preparing to shrink back to Yamato and build a second line of defense.

As a result, the four main divisions and six reserve divisions of the Japanese army, which had retreated from the Yokosuka and Yokohama lines, did not wait for the new deployment to be adjusted, and then the 1st Armored Division of the Imperial Janissary Army of the Chinese Empire, which landed at the port of Yokohama, launched a preemptive offensive.

The Royal 1st Armored Division, with its powerful chariot firepower, armor and mobility capabilities, quickly broke through the defense line of the two divisions after the Japanese army broke off, advanced 100 kilometers in one day, and directly penetrated the retreating Japanese flank, forcing the three Japanese divisions to reach Yamato on time, and there was a huge gap in the entire second line of defense.

The 1st Panzer Division of the Imperial Janissary disrupted the Japanese army's plans and effectively guaranteed the attack of the 1st Army of the Chinese Empire on Chiyoda in Tokyo.

On March 23, the 7th Division of the First Army of the Chinese Empire encountered the Japanese Guards Division approaching from Tokyo on its way to Chiyoda, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides. Because the 7th Division was a little aggressive, and the heavy equipment was still behind and could not keep up, after the outbreak of the encounter, the battle between the 7th Division and the Japanese Guards Division was very fierce, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

Subsequently, three more divisions of the Japanese army tried to reinforce the Guards Division, and the 7th Division of the Chinese Emperor had to choose to retreat temporarily.

As the most combat-effective division of the Japanese army, the Guards Division successfully repelled the advancing Seventh Division of the Chinese Emperor ** in the Battle of Chiyoda, but when pursuing, it was fiercely strafed by more than 100 fighters of the Imperial Chinese Naval Air Force and suffered heavy losses.

Subsequently, the follow-up troops of the First Army of the Chinese Empire followed one after another, stabilizing the left and right flanks of the Seventh Division, and the Seventh Division also launched a counteroffensive against Chiyoda after the preparation of heavy weapons.

The Imperial Chinese Naval Air Force dispatched 400 fighters and 200 bombers to launch a fierce attack on Chiyoda's defense of the Japanese forces, and after a series of indiscriminate bombardment, the First Army launched its first large-scale offensive since the landing war.

Chiyoda was already a suburb of Tokyo, and the Japanese army did not defend the safety of Tokyo, so they invested 150,000 troops again, desperately blocking the attack of the Chinese emperor.

After a day of fierce fighting, the Japanese army suffered more than 30,000 casualties, successfully stopping the fierce offensive of the Chinese Emperor, but the huge casualty ratio of both sides made the Japanese base camp have no confidence to fight down, because the casualties of the First Army of the Chinese Empire on this day were only more than 750 people, this casualty ratio, even if the Japanese army had many people, could not hold out for a few days.

The original combat mission of the First Army of the Chinese Empire was to attract the main force of the Japanese army, and I wished that the Japanese army would gather the main force here, and finally encircle Tokyo for other brother troops, and completely annihilate the main force of the Japanese army in Tokyo in one fell swoop.

Many high-ranking officials in the Japanese army base camp were well aware of this, but when they advised Emperor Taisho to move the capital immediately, they encountered great resistance. For some reason, Emperor Taisho changed his previous attitude and insisted on holding Tokyo, and wanted to live and die with Tokyo. He even issued an edict urging the 3 million Japanese citizens of Tokyo to rise up and fight for every inch of land.

As a result, the Japanese in Tokyo became as excited as if they had taken aphrodisiacs, and formed a million logistics troops overnight to support the front-line operations.

On March 24, the attack of the First Army of the Chinese Empire was blocked, the Japanese army burned houses along the way, destroyed roads and bridges at any cost, in order to stop the chariot troops of the Chinese Empire, planted mines everywhere, civilian suicide bombings, forced the First Army to slow down the pace of advance, as a result the Japanese army was able to breathe, build more defensive lines, and the progress of the war in the Chiyoda direction was slow.

Although the First Army's offensive was blocked, it attracted the elite 6 main divisions and 13 reserve divisions of the Japanese army to the Chiyoda area, creating conditions for the offensive of the other two route armies of the Chinese Empire. When the Chinese Imperial Marines occupied the area around Yachishiro, the Japanese army could not draw troops from the Tokyo area to reinforce it, so it had to transfer four garrison brigades from Indo-Western to attack the flank of the Chinese Emperor ** to eliminate the threat of the Chinese Emperor ** to Yachidai.

But this tactic is a tactic of adding fuel, and the attack force of the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division of the Praetorian Guard of the ** Left Wing Corps of the Chinese Emperor is definitely not something that can be stopped by the strength of the Japanese garrison brigade. Under the opening of the way of the 3rd Division of the Janissary Army, the Left Wing Army of the Chinese Empire defeated the Japanese army after fierce battles, and took advantage of the victory to break through the Japanese defense line in the Yatsushiro area on March 25, and captured Yashiro that night, opening the west gate to Tokyo.

According to the instructions of Prince Chihito, the four Japanese divisions in the area must make every effort to block the advance of the Chinese Emperor**, and then fight and retreat to Tokyo, holding Ichikawa. However, Yamaguchi Aritomo clearly knew that these four divisions had been greatly consumed in strength and equipment during the battle for several days, and they were no longer able to handle the heavy task of holding the west gate of Tokyo, and even if they retreated to Ichikawa, it would only make Ichikawa hold out for a few more days.

So he asked Prince Chihito to withdraw these troops directly to Sumida Ward on the west bank of the Edo River to strengthen the defenses of Sumida District and the Edo River, but Prince Chihito rejected his opinion. When there were signs of a breakthrough in the Ichikawa area, Yamaguchi Aritomo ignored Prince Chihito's instructions and decisively ordered all the troops who could be contacted to quickly retreat westward, which saved many troops.

On March 25, under the cover of the powerful attack of the 1st Panzer Division of the Imperial Guard, the Right Wing Army of the Chinese Emperor quickly captured the entire Miura Peninsula and took the city of Yamato.

At this time, the Japanese base camp panicked, because with the unstoppable attack speed of the First Armored Division of the Chinese Emperor's ** Praetorian Guard, it would soon break through Tokyo, once that happened, the flank and rear of the main forces of the Japanese army in Chiyoda and Sumida Wards would be completely exposed, not only the main force of the Japanese army was in danger of being completely annihilated, but I am afraid that Emperor Taisho would not be able to escape at that time.

As a result, Prince Chihito and Prince Nohisa, as well as members of the Yamamoto Gonbei cabinet, jointly requested that Taisho immediately move the capital and go to Nagano, the capital of the company.

Although Taisho was very annoyed and aggrieved that he had just ascended the throne and lost the capital, he had to admit that the gap between the equipment of the Japanese army and the Chinese emperor was too big, and his flesh and blood alone could not stop the steel torrent of the Chinese emperor, and finally he decided to move the capital.

However, Taisho demanded that Tokyo must hold out until the last moment, to which Prince Chihito agreed, and decided to fight a battle to defend Tokyo with the Chinese Empire.

Taisho's decision to move the capital was immediately intercepted by intelligence officers of the Chinese Empire, and Feng Guozhang and Lin Jianzhang, who had already set up their headquarters at Kawasaki City Hall, immediately discussed countermeasures.

Feng Guozhang first expressed his position, saying: "The Japanese emperor and the Yamamoto Gonbei cabinet must be arrested, if they are allowed to run to Nagano, this war does not know how long it will take, and Your Majesty will definitely not allow it." ”

Lin Jianzhang said: "Isn't there still an airborne division of the Praetorian Guard? Didn't you always plan for them to capture Taisho and Yamamoto Gonbei? ”

Feng Guozhang nodded and said: "The plan has changed, this damn Taizheng doesn't know which tendon is broken, he doesn't stay in the palace, but organizes a logistics transport team of millions of people, his position changes every moment, and there are millions of Japanese civilians around, it is very difficult to arrest him." Our airborne forces carry limited equipment and supplies, and they must be guaranteed to hit with a single hit, otherwise it will be difficult for ammunition to support a second operation. ”

Lin Jianzhang nodded and said: "There are too many Japanese in Tokyo, and one of our airborne divisions is quickly overwhelmed by millions of people, and it really costs bullets to fight." ”

Li Dingxin asked: "Isn't the Air Force transport plane able to provide ammunition supplies?" Just like airdropping paratroopers, can supplies also be airdropped? ”

Feng Guozhang nodded and said: "This is indeed a way, but our air force does not have the equipment to airdrop supplies." I inquired about it, and there are various factors that need to be considered for the airdrop of ammunition, and there are no pilot projects in this area at present. Ammunition dropped, if not fully prepared, can easily explode. ”

Lin Jianzhang said suddenly: "It won't all be destroyed by explosions, right?" If you don't have enough at one time, how many times will you throw more? For the successful completion of this decapitation mission, this price is still bearable. ”

When Lin Jianzhang said this, Feng Guozhang suddenly opened his mouth and nodded: "That's right!" It's me who drilled the horns, this method is good! ”

Li Dingxin said at this time: "We are ready for everything! Airborne troops raided Tokyo and attacked the rear of the main Japanese forces. But Taisho and the Japanese cabinet are going to run, and in order not to let them escape to Nagano, we should land at Sagami Bay, and from there send an elite force to quickly advance northward, straight into Kaminono Garden, the only way between Nagano and Tokyo, and cut off the railway between Nagano and Tokyo. ”

Feng Guozhang and Lin Jianzhang glanced at each other, and both felt that this action was necessary, so they nodded in agreement.

On March 26, the 1st Panzer Division made a brilliant use of its mobility and turned around to take Kanagawa, connecting the Miura Peninsula with the line of Sagami Bay. Since the Japanese army abandoned the defense of the Miura Peninsula, the defenders of Sagami Bay also withdrew, so the Chinese Emperor ** captured Kanagawa and Sagami Port in less than half a day.

On the same day, storms erupted in Sagami Bay and Tokyo Bay, with winds of 8 and waves of 1.8 meters, which brought great losses to the Chinese Emperor. In the artificial harbors set up by the Chinese Emperor on the beachheads of various landing areas, a large number of floating wharves were disintegrated, the caissons were broken, and the cross-shaped steel parts collided with each other and were seriously damaged.

Fortunately, the Chinese Emperor had already occupied various port terminals near the bay, so he quickly moved to a safe haven to reduce losses.

However, the appearance of the hurricane stopped the offensive of the Chinese Emperor, and the Japanese army was able to breathe, mobilize a large number of troops from the surrounding area to defend, and strengthen the fortifications.

The airborne operation originally planned by the Airborne Division of the Imperial Janissary of the Chinese Empire was also terminated due to bad weather, for which Feng Guozhang and others were annoyed.

However, Seon was not blessed.

During the passage of the hurricane, the 3rd Special Operations Group of the Royal Guards Army, which had already infiltrated behind enemy lines, continued to carry out large-scale sabotage operations under the command of Liang Junru. Special forces are all-weather combat arms that will not stop because of bad weather. They carried out a series of large-scale sabotage operations in Tokyo, blowing up the power station in Tokyo, destroying the telephone and telegraph lines and the external railway lines, so that the Japanese capital relocation operation was unable to leave Tokyo due to the destruction of the railway.

At the same time, the 3rd Special Operations Brigade caused terrorist bombings everywhere, and the more crowds gathered, the more the allies planted bombs, causing a large number of casualties and the destruction of supplies. One of the largest explosions occurred in Sumida Ward, where the Japanese army was basically concentrated on the riverside in order to hold the Edo River, and because of the heavy casualties, the logistics troops were basically transferred to the front line, and the logistics were handed over to the citizens of Tokyo. As a result, the 112th Demolition Team of the Third Special Operations Brigade successfully infiltrated and blew up the Japanese ammunition depot, oil depot, and granary, especially the explosion of the ammunition depot, causing 100,000 casualties in the vicinity, making it the largest terrorist attack in human history.

Such huge casualties caused panic in Tokyo, and Emperor Taisho and Yamamoto Gonbei Cabinet postponed the evacuation time, and reassuring the people was a top priority.

Two days later, when the hurricane ended and the weather cleared, Feng Guozhang immediately ordered the 1st Airborne Division of the Royal Janissaries to start moving.

In the early morning of March 28, the 1st Airborne Division of the Royal Janissaries departed from Oshima Airport and flew to Chenma Mountain at 3 a.m. to carry out the airborne landing.

The 18,000-square-meter officers and men of the division successfully parachuted into the eastern foothills of Mount Chenma, and after a three-hour build-up, they bypassed Mt. Takatori at 6 a.m. and appeared on the eastern outskirts of Uenoen City.

Uenoen is a direct rail transit point from Tokyo to Nagano, and trains departing from Tokyo must change locomotives at Uenoen before they can run to Nagano.

Major General Liu Fuquan, commander of the 1st Airborne Division of the Imperial Guard, immediately ordered a complete siege of Uenoen City, not allowing anyone to be released, and at the same time cutting off all contact with the outside world so that it could not raise an alarm to Tokyo.

Uenoen was located in the rear of the third line of defense of the Japanese army at this time, and due to the fierce offensive of the Chinese Emperor**, the Chinese Emperor **, who landed from Sagami Bay, pinned down the main force of the Japanese army of the three divisions in Kanagawa Prefecture, so the Japanese army in Uenoen City had only one brigade.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Airborne Division of the Royal Praetorian Guard was responsible for guarding and blocking the news, and the other three regiments surrounded Uenoen and launched a surprise attack.

The equipment of the Japanese defenders in Ueno Park is still the weapons of the last century, and the soldiers are all new soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is extremely weak. From the exchange of fire to the end of the battle did not exceed two hours, mainly wasted on the road, the real exchange of fire did not exceed 20 minutes, and many Japanese soldiers were killed before they could load their bullets.

At the same time, Japanese engineers rushed to repair the railway, and members of the Japanese cabinet, including Emperor Taisho and Gonbei Yamamoto, as well as various government officials, boarded the train and set off from Tokyo for Uenoen.

At 12:17 p.m., as the first train stopped at Uenoen Railway Station, Emperor Taisho of Japan and members of the imperial family, members of the Yamamoto Gonbei cabinet, and several important department officials were captured by the Chinese Emperor ** who was ambushed here.

Although there were some shootouts during this period, mainly because the Japanese convoy and the royal bodyguards refused to surrender and exchanged fire with the Chinese emperor, their numbers were too small, coupled with passive combat, and they were quickly eliminated.

Subsequently, all the trains from Tokyo to Nagano were detained in Uenoen, and the officials, clerks, and important documents of the main government departments of the Japanese kingdom fell into the hands of the Chinese Emperor**.

On a train at four o'clock in the afternoon, the Chinese Emperor ** seized 230 tons of gold, 39,000 tons of silver, 3 million copper coins and 4 billion yen of paper money from the treasury of the Japanese state, as well as more than 600 boxes of antique calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver jewelry from the Japanese Imperial Palace, which basically represented all the wealth of the Japanese state. There is something even more deadly, you are the Japanese kingdom since the founding of the country, and more than 3,000 yen templates from the Inner Tibetan Province have been stored. This thing fell into the hands of the Chinese Emperor, and if Japan did not surrender, then the Chinese Empire only needed to print copper coins, silver coins, paper money and other yen on a large scale, which would be enough to destroy the entire Wa Kingdom.

On this day, there were more than 30 trains from Tokyo to Nagano, and almost every few dozen minutes a train full of Japanese officials, family belongings, and important documents departed, and all of them were detained in Uenoen until there were no more locomotives or carriages available at Tokyo Railway Station.

When Feng Guozhang learned that Liu Fuquan's airborne division had successfully captured Emperor Taisho and the entire Japanese government office, he was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered the Seventh Army to quickly advance to Uenoen to join the 1st Airborne Division before the Japanese army frantically counterattacked.

Liu Fuquan believed that the Japanese army should quickly move south to attack the Japanese army in Sagamihara-Danchi Mountain, and attack the Japanese army in the Seventh Army of the Chinese Empire, destroying the main Japanese force in the area in one fell swoop.

After the telegram was sent to Feng Guozhang, it was approved by the personnel of the first cadre headquarters. So Feng Guozhang called back and approved Liu Fuquan's battle plan, and the 1st Airborne Division took prisoners of war and important trophies to the south and attacked the Japanese army in Sagami from behind. The Seventh Army attacked the Japanese from the front and pinned down the main Japanese forces.

On the afternoon of March 29, more than 90,000 troops of the Seventh Army launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army at Danchi Mountain, and the 1st Armored Division continued to carry out fierce attacks on the Japanese army as a sharp knife unit.

Due to the continuous resistance of the Japanese army relying on the dangerous Danchi Mountain, after the 1st Armored Division broke through the 703 heights, it could no longer advance, and could only rely on the infantry to continue the attack.

The Japanese resistance was stubborn, and the Chinese Emperor attacked many times, although it caused huge casualties to the Japanese army, but still failed to break through the Japanese defense line.

At a quarter past five o'clock in the afternoon, the main force of the 1st Airborne Division of the Royal Praetorian Guard suddenly appeared on the rear flank of Danchi Mountain, which was the logistics base of the Japanese Danchi Mountain defense line, and more than 10,000 wounded and sick were also there.

Then, the 1st Airborne Division immediately launched a fierce attack on the 822 heights of Danchi Mountain, because the Japanese guns and fortifications were facing the south, there was no defense for the north, and as a result, the Chinese emperor immediately captured the 822 heights after several brave charges.

The 822 Heights is the commanding heights of the Japanese army in the entire Danchi Mountain, and after being captured by the Chinese Emperor, the entire defense line of the Japanese army suddenly fell into a passive situation.

At half past six in the evening, the Chinese Emperor attacked back and forth, quickly crushing the joint of the 26th and 33rd divisions of the Japanese army, and completing the rendezvous. At this point, the Japanese defense line of Danchi Mountain completely collapsed, and after the Japanese army paid the price of more than 30,000 casualties, only less than 3,000 people escaped from the mountain road in more than a dozen groups.

After the 7th Army joined forces with the 1st Airborne Division, it immediately sent the Japanese prisoners of war and the booty to Sagami Bay.

At the same time, Prince Chihito, who was in charge of the war in Tokyo, also learned that Emperor Taisho and the main government officials had been captured by the Chinese Emperor**, and immediately ordered the four main divisions of the Japanese army on the Nagano and Yamada lines to quickly pursue south, so as to rescue the emperor and government officials.

However, when the Japanese pursued Danchi Mountain, they were fiercely blocked by the Seventh Army of the Chinese Empire, and they were unable to save their emperor.
