Chapter 262: Burning Tokyo
The establishment of the Japanese Navy is the result of decades of efforts to develop Japan's national strength to the point where it has become the number one in Asia and capable of dialogue with European countries.
However, once the thousand-year-old Taoist line was lost, Guo Yu's Huafu fleet was all sunk in a mess, this is a huge family of forty or fifty giant warships, plus dozens of small destroyers, and it was ruined like this, how could Emperor Taisho not feel distressed.
Japan is an island country, and the navy is the inevitable way for them to go abroad, and it is also one of the national policies they have always pursued.
Where Emperor Taisho was talking about the history of the Imperial Navy and the hardships of its creation, the mood of everyone present became heavier.
After nagging for a while, Emperor Taisho talked about Guo Yu again: "When that Guo Yu was in China, he robbed the empire's European silk market, causing heavy losses to the empire's economy, and later killed our empire's expatriates and sank the second fleet, and now he dares to send troops to the country, causing the empire to lose all its warships, which is simply too deceitful and unforgivable." ”
Emperor Taisho was very clear about what Guo Yu had done, and counted Guo Yu's guilt one by one, but he still didn't know, Guo Yu also secretly robbed the imperial treasury and the four major chaebol banks, causing heavy losses to the Japanese economy.
After talking for so long, Emperor Taisho was also a little tired, and he closed his mouth there and gasped.
"Father, I still need you to come up with an idea now, Yokosuka is still in the hands of the army of Nanhua, their army is only a few dozen kilometers away from Tokyo, and we have to be prepared for the other party to attack Tokyo." Seeing that his father stopped, Crown Prince Hirohito whispered.
As the heir to the Japanese throne, Hirohito's mind is still quite clear, now is not the time to complain, the empire is still under the threat of the Huafu army, and must come up with a feasible opinion to deal with the immediate crisis.
Hearing Crown Prince Hirohito's words, Emperor Taisho became furious again, and shouted to the ministers who were kneeling down: "You say in my ear every day that the Imperial Navy is invincible in Asia, and you are still plotting there to invade the South Seas and invade China, but now you can't even protect your own homeland, are you too arrogant or incompetent. ”
"Now you tell me that the army of Nanhua has reached outside the city of Tokyo, and the army has suffered heavy losses, so you have nothing to do, and you have to ask my opinion here, what is the use of the empire raising you guys."
The ministers could only listen to Emperor Taisho's reprimand with their heads down, and the people did not dare to come out.
"The enemy has reached the doorstep, the empire will never compromise, you hurry up and mobilize the army, you must do your best to destroy those land forces of Nanhua, you must not let them wreak havoc on this island, transfer the troops from all over the country to defend the capital of Tokyo, the imperial capital must not be lost."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The ministers replied respectfully.
The night had fallen, and the attack of the 1st and 4th Divisions had suffered heavy losses, and after the situation was reported to the military headquarters, it once again caused a shock to the top of the military headquarters, and Kenichi Oshima personally ordered the 1st and 4th Divisions to suspend the offensive and turn to defense, and must block the enemy's advance, and then light up the other corps, asking to rush to Tokyo as quickly as possible to participate in the defense of the imperial capital.
The battle situation in front of him was transmitted to Guo Yu, Guo Yu said to Lin Haichao with a smile: "See, this can test the gap in combat effectiveness between the armies, the Japanese army has been rampant in Asia for a long time, and always think how powerful they are, and the armies of other countries also have such an understanding, so when facing the Japanese army, it is inevitable to be afraid, and it is a taboo for soldiers to be cowardly before fighting, but now through today's battle, we can test the battle gap between our Huafu army and the Japanese army, With many weapons ahead of the enemy, it is no problem to defeat the Japanese army, and as long as there are no serious mistakes in command, victory will definitely be on our side. ”
"Your Majesty, now that the Japanese army is obviously not ready to take the initiative to attack, then we will wait here for the other side to continue to increase its strength and destroy their army, or do you have any plan?" Lin Haichao asked.
Guo Yu didn't speak, walked out of the temporary command post of the Yokosuka Military Port, looked up at the gloomy sky, the wind outside was a little strong, and the wind started after the snow stopped in the afternoon, and it hasn't stopped yet.
"It's a nice day." Guo Yu said.
Lin Haichao was a little puzzled, the weather was so cold, there was still a cold wind, and the sky was gloomy without a trace of starlight, how could it be good weather.
Guo Yu glanced at Lin Haichao's puzzled look and said, "You know the idiom that the moon is dark and the wind is high. Yuan Huai's poem "Palm Record", "The moon is dark and kills the night, the wind is high and the day is on fire", isn't it such a good weather today, look good here, I'll go out. After saying that, he smiled and left.
Guo Yu took out the Sea King dual-purpose small plane from the space, found an open place, waved his hand at his secretary Han Cheng and the guards, and drove the plane into the sky.
Dark night is not a good time to fly a plane, but there is no such trouble here in Guo Yu, just think about the direction you want to drive over, can such a big Tokyo city still run, as long as it is not too bad, you can definitely find it.
The wind outside is indeed a little strong, even the driving of the plane has been affected to a certain extent, the plane is shaking in the sky, if it is an ordinary person, will never drive such a simple plane in the sky on such a windy day, it is simply looking for their own death.
However, I was not afraid in the past, and I skillfully piloted this small plane, and half an hour later it flew over Tokyo.
At this time, Tokyo has basically fallen into darkness, and there are very few places with lights, but after all, Guo Yu has lived here for a week, and the basic terrain is still relatively familiar.
But all of a sudden, seeing Tokyo City again reminded him of that beautiful Masako Haruka.
I haven't seen that lovely woman for more than half a year, and I don't know how she is doing, whether she is still learning Mandarin as she said at the beginning, and then going to find herself, or whether she has found her new lover and has thrown herself into the arms of others.
Forget it, don't be cranky, we will meet by fate.
However, Guo Yu still deliberately avoided the area where he once lived, and thought about flying in the other direction of Tokyo, Tokyo is so big, he can toss it by himself, there is no need to let Masako encounter danger.
The altitude of the plane is not high, only about four or five hundred meters, so Guo Yu is full of eyesight, and he can still vaguely see the situation below, and after seeing a continuous stream of houses, Guo Yu opened the cockpit canopy of the plane and stretched out his left hand.
Guo Yu was going to send a bomb to Tokyo artificially, but now the air force of the Huafu Army had not yet been trained, and the task of aerial bombing could only be completed by himself.
Taking advantage of the good weather today, such a good wind, it can't be wasted, so let me leave you a deep memory.
Guo Yu's mind turned, and the white phosphorus bombs were dropped.
These things are all produced by the arms processing factory in Kalimantan Island, Guo Yu came to attack Japan this time, and stored a large number of weapons and ammunition in the space, as long as he can take it, he brought it, anyway, his space is almost infinite, and he is not afraid of occupying space.
Therefore, the Japanese want to use human lives to consume the ammunition of the Huafu Army, it will not work here, if it is another army, there will definitely be such a problem, after all, from afar, the transportation volume is limited, it is impossible to achieve unlimited use, which is also one of the advantages of Guo Yu and the Huafu Army.
In fact, the transport ships of the Huafu fleet also carried a lot of ammunition and materials, why didn't Guo Yu bring all of them, because Guo Yu felt that the army was a combat unit after all, and in the future, as a king, it would be impossible for him to follow the army to fight every day, the army was self-sufficient, and the cultivation of ability still needed to be there, so he couldn't always be a wet nurse.
Guo Yu's these things, only when the army's ammunition is lacking, and Guo Yu really needs to replenish it, he can't have such a ability to defy the sky, and when the time comes, the preparation is not sufficient, so that the troops will suffer losses due to lack of materials, then it will be out of Guo Yu's original intention.
In later generations, white phosphorus bombs were listed as prohibited weapons, but because of the great lethality of destruction, and because they were too cruel.
The white phosphorus bombs released by Guo Yu began to explode one after another when they were 100 meters above the ground, and then exploded and dispersed into a huge scattered fire ball, which fell on the houses below.
The burning of white phosphorus bombs is very terrible, the temperature can reach more than 1000 degrees, it continues to burn after touching an object, until it is extinguished, even the hard-to-burn substances can be ignited, if it occupies the human body, the flesh skin will be penetrated, and then penetrate deep into the bones.
The plane walked all the way, Guo Yu dropped nearly 100 white phosphorus bombs, which immediately caused the burning of these Tokyo houses, you must know that there are many earthquakes in Japan, so most of the houses are wooden houses, and now they are ignited by white phosphorus bombs, today is another windy day, the fire borrowed the wind, this area burned quickly and spread outward, and it didn't take long for this area to become a sea of fire.
Today's Tokyo has become a sea of fire, a hell, and in the midst of the fire, many Japanese people have been burned to death, and many more homes have been burned to the ground, and nothing has been left since then.
The military and police were dispatched to maintain order and put out the fire, but the fire was too big to come at all, and the only way was to let the fire burn on its own.
The wind borrowed the fire, and the fire helped the wind, and the fire swept through half of Tokyo, and all of them were ignited. The ground temperature approached 1,000 degrees Celsius almost instantly, and trees, houses, and human bodies all spontaneously combusted, and even the metal was melted.
On the ground, the fire spread like a flood, and the fleeing crowd ran back and forth. But the flames soon licked them down and quickly turned into burning char. Some people jumped into ponds and rivers to survive, but the water in the ponds and rivers also boiled in the heat, boiling them alive. R1152
