The bombing on the morning of 12 August dropped a total of 600 tons of bombs on the Uemachi area and industrial area of Tokyo, depleting the ammunition depots on several aircraft carriers on the water.

After two bombings, there were not many intact buildings in Tokyo, and the whole of Tokyo was a pile of rubble and ruins, and it took the Japanese authorities more than 20 days to clean up the bodies in the ruins of Tokyo.

During these two bombings, part of the Tokyo Imperial Palace was blown up, and the Meiji Jingu Shrine was destroyed by fire. In the process of bombing by Chinese bombers, many Tokyo citizens fled from the city, and the Chinese pilots also dropped warning leaflets in the process of bombing, informing the Chinese planes of the next bombing target, which made the Japanese people even more frightened, and millions of people in Tokyo fled from the city to the surrounding rural areas, and after these two bombings, the attendance rate of factory workers was less than one-third of what it used to be, and Tokyo's economy was paralyzed.

On both sides of the Higashi Sumida River, bombers dropped all their bombs on densely populated areas, large areas of wooden houses caught fire, and every mile on the ground of 50 square kilometers was completely burned to the ground, and the skyrocketing flames over Tokyo could still be seen from the Pacific sea of more than 200 miles by American passenger liners, and the fires burned for four days before they were extinguished in this area. More than 30,000 Japanese people died of suffocation due to burning and running out of oxygen, especially in low-lying areas. People scramble to take refuge in the sturdy Meijiza Theater, where the bodies of the suffocated bodies are stacked on top of each other at a height of 2 meters.

The Presidential Palace of China.

When Xiao Zhenlei was in the office, Sa Zhenbing asked to see him. Soon invited to the office, Sa Zhenbing stood up and saluted: "President." It was a telegram sent by Cheng Biguang an hour ago, already related to yesterday and today's massive bombardment and shelling of Yokosuka and Tokyo. Now the Yokosuka Naval Base and most of Tokyo have been bombed into ruins! ”

Xiao Zhenlei remembered something and asked, "Didn't they blow up the almost completed battleship Yamashiro at the Yokosuka Shipyard, did they?" ”

"No, no, I have sent a telegram about this beforehand!" Sa Zhenbing hurriedly said.

"Good!" Xiao Zhenlei showed a smile on his face and said: "There is a Fusang in the Wugang Shipyard, plus this Yamashiro, these two battleships are almost completed, we can say that it is equivalent to picking up these two ships for nothing, and after a while, send marines to land in Kure Port and Yokosuka." Secretly tow these two battleships back with tugboats, and then let our shipyard refit them, and I believe that next year our Navy can add two more battleships! ”

When Sa Zhenbing heard this, he rubbed his hands excitedly, and hurriedly smiled: "Okay, great!" It's still fun to grab other people's things! ”

The two were happy for a while, and Xiao Zhenlei asked, "What is your bombing plan for next?" ”

Sa Zhenbing said: "Now that Japan's naval bases have been bombed by us, it can be said that Japan has no navy, and the next step is to prepare to bomb arsenals and barracks all over Japan, and the arsenals in Sasebo, Kure Port, Yokosuka and Tokyo have not been bombed in these bombings." However, there are many arsenals in other cities in Japan, such as Nagoya and Osaka! ”

"Well, okay, then let's do it according to the plan!" Xiao Zhenlei nodded. Then he asked, "By the way, when will the fleet of prisoners and ships arrive?" ”

Sa Zhenbing replied: "I received a telegram before I came just now, and the fleet will arrive at the Wusongkou base at about eight o'clock tomorrow morning. The officers and men of the fleet also responded to me, saying that they would like to invite the president to surrender? I don't know the big president??????? ”

Xiao Zhenlei smiled and waved his hand: "Since General Cheng and they have already held a surrender, there is no need to engage in any surrender ceremonies." Tomorrow will mainly be to bring the prisoners ashore so that the people can see the Japanese ships that have been captured and towed back. Let journalists from all over the world also see whether our government has deceived the people and governments. In addition, we must do a good job in safety work, we must not cause chaos, we must protect the order of the scene, you can contact the troops stationed in Shanghai, and let them send troops to cooperate to maintain order! ”

"Yes, President!"

"Which army was in charge of escorting the captives ashore?"

"It's the Seventeenth Division!"

August 13, Wusongkou.

The citizens got the news yesterday that the newspaper said that this morning the naval fleet would escort the Japanese prisoners and captured Japanese ships to Wusongkou, first, to send the prisoners ashore and then to a secret place for detention, and second, to tow the captured Japanese ships into the shipyard for repair and refit, so the people who had already received the news were ready to come and see the excitement.

More than 6,000 officers and men of the Japanese Navy were captured, and more than 70,000 Japanese soldiers from four divisions were captured, making a total of nearly 80,000 Japanese prisoners.

There was a loaded soldier standing guard on the street every two meters, and on both sides of the street in front of the soldiers, there was a long ribbon that was pulled up to separate the crowd from the soldiers on both sides, to prevent the crowd from surging up and disturbing the order, and there was a truck on the street, and a big horn was set up on the truck, and the horn kept shouting to the people to be disciplined, not to cause riots, and not to act aggressively when they saw the Japanese prisoners coming.

On the other side of the pier the streets and on the pier were already full of soldiers, who were escorting the captives, and they took over the prisoners when they came ashore.

With the sound of a long whistle, dense ships appeared on the sea surface of Wusongkou, each of which was so huge, and the largest warships were all potholed and pitch black.

Soon the fleet docked at the dock, and the prisoners boarded the dock under the supervision of the marines, row after row, in a row, and the Japanese prisoners were very orderly and disciplined.

At first, the officers were escorted out of the docks, the officers were all wearing black uniforms, and the sailors were wearing sailors' uniforms, all of whom looked depressed and looked depressed, and it was no wonder that no one was happy if they had lost the battle and had not been taken prisoner.

"Look at it, it's really Japanese!" After the crowd on both sides of the street saw the prisoners being escorted out of the dock, someone immediately shouted, and the others stretched their necks to see after hearing it, and the citizens on both sides of the street suddenly harassed, but because there were soldiers standing guard in front, no one dared to rush through the cordon, anyway, the prisoners were going to pass through here, and it was not too late to take a closer look.

The captives were all empty-handed, and five people walked forward side by side in a row, the prisoners in the back were a meter away from the prisoners in front, and on both sides of the captive team were Chinese soldiers with rifles guarding and walking, and there were soldiers every three meters. There was also a truck with a machine gun on top of every 300 prisoners, ready to respond to any contingency and open fire if the captives did anything wrong.

"Oh, look, it's really a Japanese little devil? Look at that Japanese man, with a handful of hair growing in the middle of his lips, the Japanese like to have such a beard the most, I saw it before when the concession was there! A young girl pointed to a Japanese officer passing by and said to her companion.

In addition to the citizens watching on the streets, there were also many reporters from various countries and newspapers in their own countries, and the lights of magnesium lamps flashed from time to time on both sides, so that many Japanese prisoners could not open their eyes, and some Japanese prisoners felt very embarrassed and raised their hands to cover their faces.

A rich man in a robe and a horse coat looked like a citizen pointed at a Japanese prisoner and laughed: "Ha, you see, this Japanese soldier is still afraid of ugliness and covers his face with his sleeve!" ”

Someone next to him chimed in: "Yes, this is really strange, does the little Japanese devil have a face?" ”

"That's not right for you, as long as it's a human being, who would be shameless? The Japanese are also human beings, how can they be shameless? ”

"Okay, okay, don't fight, I was misunderstood by the soldiers and I took you to the barracks and locked up for a few days, see if you dare?"

Because of the Japanese prisoners, the whole of Shanghai Beach was now empty, and the people were still rushing to the pier, but they were quickly driven to both sides of the street by the soldiers who opened the road in front.

The 80,000 prisoners were too many, from the Japanese naval officers and men at the beginning to the Japanese army in the four divisions behind, from the Wusongkou wharf to the streets of the gate and north, and on both sides of the street where the prisoners were going to pass, there were people watching and soldiers standing guard from beginning to end.

The expressions of the Japanese prisoners were very wooden, as seen by the people of Shanghai, the rich did not have to crowd the street like everyone else, but found a place by the window of a teahouse on the street, drinking tea and eating snacks, while watching, and from time to time with the nearby tea lovers.

According to the plan, the captives were to be sent to a large camp that had been prepared in the north of Zha, and then sent to different places in batches to be detained.

At that time, the front pages of various newspapers reported the incident of the Japanese prisoners parading through the streets, and some newspapers published large photos of the captured Japanese warships, and looking at the Japanese warships that were bombed beyond recognition, everyone knew that the Chinese government did not lie and deceive the people. As for the outcome of the war, some people have already begun to predict. (To be continued......)
