It was Ryuichiro Hashimoto who spoke, a heavyweight chief of staff in the military department.

No one knows what the situation is like in the vicinity of the Emperor's Palace, and Hideki Tojo himself, like them, can only judge from the skyrocketing fires and the loud explosions, as well as the louder and louder bomber engines overhead, that tonight's bombing has just begun.

He no longer had time to wait for the actions of the air defense forces, and to pray that night planes would take off from the airfields under enemy bombardment, and there were very few night planes on the backup airfields, and it was estimated that such a large number of enemy bombers would not be enough for the Chinese aviation machine guns.

Rescue, only rescue is the most correct. The Great Empire was bombed and attacked by the Chinese homeland, these are not important, the important thing is that the emperor is okay, the military department is fine, and he can grasp the situation in Yuben.

"Very good, just according to Hashimoto-kun......"

"Report!"

At this time, a military staff officer rushed into the conference room, ignoring the strange eyes of the people in the room, and reported loudly.

"Read!" Hideki Tojo didn't have the mood to think much at all, and said with a wave of his hand.

"I just received a radio from the Imperial Palace's underground air defense center, and it is confirmed that the Imperial Palace has been attacked by a number of heavy aerial bombs and napalm, and it is believed that it has been blown up, and His Majesty the Emperor has been rescued into an underground bunker, but... But the injuries were severe.

In addition, our wireless communications are being interfered with by the enemy, and wireless communications in the Tokyo area have begun to be disordered, and we are unable to obtain further information from His Majesty the Emperor. ”

The staff officer blushed and reported quickly.

What the!!

As soon as the staff officer's words fell, most of the generals in the room stood up, and although the majesty of the emperor was far less respected than in the hearts of ordinary people in the minds of important members of the military department, in order to maintain the authority of the military department, the emperor was a big pillar that they could not bypass. Knowing that the emperor might even be killed, it was difficult for them to accept the exact news that the emperor had been seriously injured.

The imperial power granted by the divine power of the empire has been hit by the Chinese in this way, and the emperor's life and death have not even been decided. Such a thought could not help but arise in everyone's heart.

"Hashimoto-kun, now you are in charge of the plan to rescue His Majesty the Emperor. The underground air defense center of the Imperial Palace was not particularly fortified, and in the event of a bombardment by numerous heavy aerial bombs, there was a high probability of fatal results.

I have decided to carry out the surface rescue and the underground excavation rescue at the same time, under your full command, and anyone who fails to rescue will be authorized to kill you!! ”

Hideki Tojo can only pray that the Chinese will drop fewer bombs on the Emperor's Palace, otherwise, the Daiyomoto Empire will fall into the Borderlands!!

The order to rescue the emperor had just been given, and he continued: "Counterattack!! The air defense forces counterattacked in full force, ordered all the night combat planes to take off, search and attack the enemy, I don't want to hear any excuses, fight back with all my might!! ”

At the same time, only about 20 people escaped from the underground air defense center of the Tokyo Imperial Palace, and the remaining hundreds of officials and servants in the Imperial Palace were all killed or burned on the spot.

"The palace is finished!"

This is everyone's intuition, escaping the catastrophe of destruction, and everyone is still terrified by the moment of death just now.

The palace was not large, and the entrance to the underground air defense center was near the garden where the emperor was staying, which caused some officials and guards to rush in with the emperor.

Around this, more than 20 people were almost all injured.

Kanaya Fanzo's hair was burned and he lay there dying, but not to death, he was lucky and escaped.

The emperor, on the other hand, was more unlucky, escaping the first bomb, the aftermath of which swept him away, and when everyone pulled him out of the rubble and was about to run into the underground air defense center, napalm fell.

Several palace soldiers who were dragging the emperor were set on fire on the spot, but the emperor was surrounded by a group of napalm and only stained with napalm.

Despite this, His Majesty the Emperor was not possessed by the gods of the Yamato nation, and napalm did not appear to be outside because he was the Emperor, and it still burned brightly.

"Ah......h

Everyone still remembers the Emperor's screams at that time, more terrible than anyone else, as the noble Emperor, the supreme emperor of the Empire, he has never suffered even a slight injury, and he was supported and accompanied by someone when he walked, but today he was ignited by napalm.

To be exact, he is not more painful than others, but more afraid of death than others.

He did not dare to imagine that a few minutes ago he was still there to point out the rivers and mountains, imagining the glorious situation after the Allied victory in the war, and a few minutes later, he was ignited by the napalm of the Chinese.

Why is this, death, the fear of death made him cry out more than anything, he was not willing to lose all this, he never thought that he would die so early, let alone die under the bombardment of the Chinese.

He even hated this palace for a moment, if he didn't live in the palace, could the Chinese planes bomb himself so accurately?

However, as the emperor, he still enjoys privileges, even at this life-and-death juncture, years of divine deception of imperial power have made countless people willing to die for him.

Several soldiers who were set on fire still held him up while being in pain, and threw him directly in front of the rescuers on the other side.

Ignoring all kinds of injuries on their bodies, some were wounded by shrapnel, some were injured by nameless objects, and some were injured by the shock wave, all the people nearby rushed forward and ripped off all the clothes on his body as if they were tearing the emperor.

His madness and loyalty can be seen at this time.

Many people put their hands directly into the fire and tore off the emperor's clothes, and some put the emperor's head directly into their arms and wiped out the fire with their hands.

The Emperor was burned by the fire and almost fainted in agony, and the power of napalm caused him multiple burns, locally and severely, in a matter of moments.

He didn't even feel that when the clothes with napalm were torn from him, some of his flesh was torn off of his almost cooked flesh.

Amid the screams, Hirohito finally passed out, but was eventually dragged into an underground air defense center.

This underground air defense center was only an underground cell of the Imperial Palace at the beginning, secretly holding a very small number of people who opposed the imperial power under the orders of the emperor, and later became a storage room, and then after the start of the war, the most tense moment of Sino-Chinese relations was converted into an underground air defense center, but the underground passage to the outside world was not built in time.

Hirohito, who was fortunate enough to escape death, did not have time to witness the indiscriminate bombing of Tokyo by the squadron in the following period, and only had time to enjoy a small opening overture, so he did not succeed in hiding in the underground air defense center.

Twenty or so people were crammed into the small air defense center, and Kanaya Fan San shouted something with great pain, and after a while, he asked people to heal Hirohito, and then heard the anxious report of his subordinates.

"My lord, Your Majesty is seriously injured, with multiple burns all over his body, and the medical equipment and medicines here can only be treated simply."

A well-versed military officer reported.

"Take me to see it."

A soldier on the side hurriedly helped up Kanaya Fan San, who was struggling to get up.

Soon, Kanaya Fan San almost fainted after seeing the appearance of Emperor Hirohito.

In the chaos of life and death just now, he, like Hirohito, enjoyed a high-level rescue and was dragged into the underground air defense center.

He had most of his hair burned and his head was moderately burned, and he didn't even have time to see what the emperor was like.

The emperor in front of him didn't quite recognize his original appearance.

A military uniform was torn clean, and the whole body was originally naked, and even just came and covered with two tattered clothes that had been changed by others with many holes, and the burned yellow flesh could be seen in many places.

A smell of meat came from Hirohito's body.

Most of his hair was burned off, his face was moderately burned, his beard was almost gone, and the burns on his face were very scary, but not as good as the burns on his hands and body.

The whole person looks more embarrassed than the kind of flower child who was burned by the fire, and he is still unconscious.

"Is Your Majesty's life in danger?"

Kanaya asked anxiously, even thinking in his heart that Hirohito would most likely die.

"If the rescue is timely, Your Majesty will definitely be fine."

The answer next to him, Kanaya Fan San intuitively thought that he was bullshit, and Hirohito in front of him was already going to die, even if he was lucky enough not to die, he could call it okay?

But on the whole, he also felt that as long as he could be treated as soon as possible, the emperor's life should not be in danger, but burns and infections all over his body seemed to be a big problem.

"What about Her Majesty?"

Kanaya Fan Sangang wanted them to take good care of the emperor and look for medicine to treat them in the air defense center, but in an instant, it occurred to him, what about Empress Ryoko, who had been by the emperor's side??

“……”

There was silence!

"Yaga, answer me!!"

Kanaya Fan San was knocked into the air and burned again, and he didn't notice it at all.

An officer cautiously said, "My lord, Empress Liangzi has unfortunately been killed!" ”

"Baga, how can you be sure that the queen is in trouble? Have you checked? Kanaya reprimanded angrily, not because he didn't believe it, but because he wanted to vent.

"Yes, the whole head was hit by a keystone......"

There was no need for him to say anything, Kanaya Fan San even had in his mind the tragic situation of Empress Ryoko being hit by a big cornerstone and her brain bursting out.

His Majesty Emperor Hirohito, who was high in the sky, was now burned like a half-cooked roast pig, miserable to the extreme, and only one life remained.

Kanaya Fan San originally thought that this was the most tragic thing, but he didn't expect that what was even more tragic was that Empress Liangzi died so tragically, which was not only a tragedy for the royal family of the Great Empire, but also an eternal shame for the Great Empire.

He didn't even dare to ask what happened to the crown princes, he didn't even have to think much about it to know what it would be, and if he wasn't there, then there would never be a good result.

Now, his anger is at its peak.

"Ah!! Damn the Chinese people!! ”

Kanaya Fan San raised his hands angrily and shouted, and then he was involved in the burns on the top of his head, and he fainted cleanly and neatly with a sharp pain.

Later, the radio was connected, and the news that the emperor was trapped and seriously injured reached the military headquarters.

There is still a chapter or two on strategic bombing.
