At the General Staff Headquarters of the Japanese Army, Senior General Kawai Cao's face turned pale. Just now, he had already received the last telegram from Admiral Yoshiko Akiyama before seppuku. In the telegram, General Yoshiko Akiyama claimed that they had been violently attacked by the Chinese* army, and that the soldiers were very tired, but they were still fighting desperately in the face of the tanks and armored vehicles of the Chinese* army. Most of the army was scattered and left to fight on its own. Defeat was now inevitable, so Akiyama Yoshiko could only die to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.

After sending this telegram, Admiral Akiyama committed suicide by seppuku. This also indicates that the more than 100,000 people of the Japanese army were wiped out by the Imperial Army in one fell swoop. The attempt of Admiral Kawai and Shinroku Ishimoto to defend Tokyo with this army was simply delusional.

"Alas! It's all our fault, if it weren't for the fact that we kept urging General Akiyama Yoshiko, they wouldn't have fallen into the trap of the Shina people. General Kawai said with some reproach.

"No, it's because the people of China are too vile and shameless. We have all been deceived by them. The sixth general of Shimoto said. He obviously won't admit that everything is his fault. If he can shirk the responsibility, he will definitely shirk.

"Kawai-kun, the most important thing in front of us now is how to hold Tokyo. We are in Tokyo, and there are still 300,000 troops. If the armies from other places can rush to Tokyo to reinforce us, we may not have a chance to defeat the Shina people. The sixth general of Shimoto said with red eyes. Now he is like a gambler who has lost a red eye.

In addition to the units deployed in Tokyo, the Japanese army had nearly twenty divisions located in the northern part of the island of Honshu. However, almost all of those divisions and regiments were just newly formed divisions and regiments, and they basically used weapons that had been eliminated by the main divisions and regiments before, and at the same time, they lacked training, so their combat effectiveness was naturally not much stronger. Before the battle began, the Japanese General Staff Headquarters had deployed those divisions to the north to defend against the attack of the Chinese* army. The troops they deployed in Tokyo were basically elite troops. Now, because the Japanese army has suffered heavy losses, General Shimoto Shinrokuroku thinks about those troops again. Even if the combat effectiveness of those troops is not strong, there is always no problem in using them as cannon fodder.

"I have already sent a telegram to those divisions in the north. However, although they received orders, they deliberately delayed and refused to lead their troops to Tokyo. It can be seen that they have already resisted our orders. General Kawai said.

The commanders of those divisions of the Japanese army are not fools. They knew that going to Tokyo was a dead end, so why did they go? If there is any hope of defeating the Chinese* army, they may try to do it. However, as things stand, Japan's chances of winning are too slim. Naturally, they wouldn't jump into the fire pit on their own. The poison of the spirit of bushido, although it makes those generals of the Japanese army not very bright. However, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and not many people will move forward bravely even if they know that they will die.

"Yaga! Those bastards, how dare they disobey our orders. Did they want to betray the Great Japanese Empire? "The six generals of Shimoto were furious. This would never have happened before.

"Obviously, they are no longer optimistic about this war, thinking that we will lose, so they naturally do not want to come to Tokyo to die." Kawai Cao's face was a little gloomy. Relying on the last remaining 300,000 troops in the city of Tokyo to resist the attack of the Chinese* army, no matter how you look at it, this seems impossible. Even he had little confidence as chief of staff, let alone the other generals.

"Humph! When we defeat the Shina people, we will definitely not let those guys go. When the time comes, I will give the order and hang them all. The sixth general of Shi Ben said viciously. The fact that those generals did not save him made him very angry.

General Kawai Cao did not answer, after all, if they wanted to hang those generals, they first had to defeat the Chinese* army. Otherwise, they may die before the generals. At least, it seems that they probably don't have a chance to hang the generals who don't obey orders.

"Give an order, ask all departments, hold their defense area to the death, and without an order, they are not allowed to retreat." The sixth general of Shimoto said. When the situation was very unfavorable for them, the Japanese could only adopt such tactics. That is to resist and fight with the Imperial Army. It was hoped that in the street fighting, the Imperial Army would inflict greater losses and defeat the Chinese* army.

Admiral Kawai nodded, despite the brutal nature of such an order. But, there really isn't anything else they can do.

"Boom!" A No. 2 tank of the Imperial Army solved a Japanese machine-gun fire point with one shot, covered a squad of infantry, and captured a Japanese barricade. However, just behind the side of this barricade, a Japanese Renault FT17 tank was parked there. The tank gun was already aimed at the No. 2 tank of the Imperial Army.

"Boom!" Japanese tanks opened fire. The shell hit tank No. 2 of the Imperial Army. Tank No. 2 was not very defensive, especially if it was hit on the flanks. The armor of tank No. 2 was penetrated in an instant. After the shell exploded, the gasoline and shells inside exploded, directly blowing the tank into a fireball. The crew members inside were killed in an instant during the explosion.

The infantry, who accompanied the tank battle, panicked one by one and immediately retreated. However, the Japanese army had long been ready. A heavy machine gun was roaring, and a dense barrage of bullets swept past, knocking the Chinese infantry to the ground.

"Onboard! Onboard! "Killed a tank of the Chinese army and killed more than a dozen infantrymen, which made these Japanese soldiers very excited.

"Yo Si! It seems that the tanks of the Chinese people are not very powerful. "A Japanese tank commander got out of the tank.

In field battles, the Japanese tanks were often beaten by the tanks of the Imperial Army and could not find the north. Because the tank guns were inferior in performance to the tanks of the Imperial Army. Therefore, before they could get closer to their own effective range, they were destroyed by the tanks of the Chinese Army. However, during the street fighting, the Japanese Army tanks were able to hide on street corners in advance and ambush the Imperial Army tanks. In this case, the distance between the two sides is only a few tens of meters. No matter how bad the Japanese tank guns were, they were able to penetrate the armor of the Imperial Army's light tanks.

"Boom!" At this time, the wall of the house on the opposite side was suddenly knocked over. The smoke cleared, and an Imperial Army tank No. 3 emerged from inside.

"Yaga! Tanks of the people of China. The Japanese officers and soldiers shouted loudly.

"Found a Japanese tank! Fire! The commander of tank No. 3 immediately ordered.

"Boom!" The 57mm tank gun opened fire, and an armor-piercing shell quickly hit the Japanese tank, piercing through the armor and destroying it.

"Da Da Da!" The course machine guns in front of the tank opened fire incessantly, killing all the Japanese infantry.

Although, the Japanese came up with the tactic of ambushing the tanks of the Imperial Army in street battles, which advantageously made up for the gap between the two sides. However, after all, only one brigade remained of the Japanese tanks. One hundred and twenty tanks against two armored brigades of the Imperial Army, nearly four hundred tanks, it is undoubtedly more difficult than ascending to the sky.

What's more, the performance of the Japanese tanks was originally inferior to the tanks of the Imperial Army. As a result, the Japanese army's tank losses were very fast, and they could not be compared with the Imperial Army.

"Crunch! Crunch! ”

On a narrow street, an Imperial Army tank No. 2 was moving, its turret constantly turning, searching for suspicious targets. Behind the tank, a squad of more than a dozen infantrymen was following the tank.

The tank's armor provided solid protection for these infantry, allowing them to hide from Japanese attacks during the battle.

Of course, in street fighting, tanks were also extremely vulnerable to Japanese attacks. In particular, the Japanese soldiers who fell into a frenzy often rushed to the tanks of the Imperial Army with explosives packs, and died together with the tanks of the Imperial Army. At this time, the infantry of the Imperial Army was needed to provide protection for the tanks.

"For His Majesty the Emperor, onboard!" Several Japanese soldiers appeared on the street corner, carrying explosive packs, and rushed towards the tanks of the Imperial Army.

"Hell! Crazy Japanese. Fire! The commander immediately ordered.

"Da Da Da!" The course in front of the tank opened fire, and a dense stream of bullets fired at the Japanese.

However, only two Japanese soldiers were killed, and the other two Japanese soldiers dodged the bullets and continued to rush.

"Protect the tank!" The infantrymen, who were fighting behind the tanks, also immediately rushed forward and fired with rifles in their hands.

"Bang!" The sniper rifle in the sniper's hand fired, and a Japanese soldier who was charging with an explosive bag was directly hit in the head like a broken watermelon.

The remaining Japanese soldiers were killed before they could rush to the tank.

The crisis was finally lifted, and the tank crews and infantry breathed a sigh of relief.

The tank continued to move forward.

But at this moment, from the roof of a house next to the street, a Japanese soldier jumped down. In his arms, he was holding a bag of explosives that had ignited the fuse.

"Die, damn the Shina people!"

"Boom!" The explosive pack exploded, and the fragile top armor of the tank was blown up. The explosion caused the shells inside the tank to detonate, causing the tank to be blown into a fireball.

"****! These little devils are really not afraid of death! The infantrymen behind the tank watched all this in amazement. (To be continued.) )
