"Katsura Taro, I don't care what method you use, you must block the attack of the Shina people!" Yama Prefecture Youpeng's eyes were red, as if he was going to eat people, and he glared at the Minister of War Katsura Taro viciously. The squadron successfully broke through the Japanese defense line and entered the city of Tokyo, which made Yama Prefecture Aritomo very angry. His prime minister's office, which is also a key target of the Chinese navy, is now in ruins. This forced Yama Prefecture to go to the secret headquarters established by the Army.

This is a headquarters built five meters underground and has hundreds of square meters. The antenna built on the ground in Guò made it possible to communicate with various Japanese ministries. At the same time, the water supply and power supply in the headquarters are also complete, and the ventilation facilities are also very good, which not only ensures the safety performance, but also the comfort is very good.

The Minister of War of Japan, Katsura Taro, bowed his head in front of Aritomo Yamagu, like a schoolboy who had made a mistake. In today's battle, the Japanese army's Biaoxiàn was very poor, not only in the battle of the Yokohama defensive line, the squadron was lightly broken through the defensive line, but the battle on the Tokyo side, the Epigraphy was even worse. During the daytime fighting, the Japanese suffered more than 100,000 casualties. Plus the losses on the Miura Peninsula. The losses of the Japanese army had risen to two hundred thousand people. As a result, the remaining strength of the Japanese army in the Tokyo area was less than 400,000. Moreover, these 400,000 people are still demoralized remnants of the defeated generals, how can they expect these troops to withstand the attack of the squadron?

"Lord Shan County, those guys are such bastards! Let them reinforce Tokyo, but they are grinding on the road one by one, which is completely disregarding the interests of the empire! War Minister Katsura Taro complained. After the attack on Tokyo. In the name of the Minister of War, Katsura Taro asked the Japanese troops stationed in the north and west of Honshu to go to Tokyo for reinforcements. However, the Japanese troops in these places, after learning that Tokyo was fought very fiercely and that the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties, although they indicated that they would reinforce Tokyo, they tried their best to delay on the way, which made Katsura Taro very angry. If there were no reinforcements, he knew. The remaining 400,000 Japanese troops near Tokyo alone could not resist the squadron at all.

A hint of anger flashed in Shan County's eyes. He was a veteran of the army, and in his opinion, only when the Japanese army was united could it ensure the interests of everyone, and this practice of preserving strength for personal interests made him very disgusted.

"I'll say hello to them. However, you must be assured that Tokyo will remain under our control until reinforcements arrive. Tokyo is the capital of the Empire, and if Tokyo falls, it will be a huge blow to the Empire's troops and subjects! Shan County Youpeng said. With his prestige, as long as he speaks, no one in those army generals will dare to procrastinate.

"Yes, Lord Yamayama, I promise that the army will definitely resist the attack of the Shina people, and we will make Tokyo a grave for the Shina people, and let them shed their blood in Tokyo!" War Minister Katsura Taro swore an oath. It's just that I don't know if his promise this time can be fulfilled, and whether it will be like before, ensuring that the defense of the Uraga Waterway is impregnable, but in a blink of an eye, it was broken by the squadron!

Yama County Youpeng looked at the back of Katsura Taro leaving, looking very helpless. It seems that Japan has really reached the point where it is really going to be weakened. He even had some doubts about whether his long-standing policy of defeating China and obtaining the resources needed for Japan's development from China was correct. Now, however, Japan is not only not developing, but is in danger of being destroyed.

"No, I can't be wrong! The Yamato nation is the best nation in the world, and those lowly Chinese people simply do not deserve to have such a vast territory and such rich resources. If Japan had such a vast territory and abundant resources, Japan would have become the world's largest power long ago! There was a crazy look in the eyes of Youpeng in Shanxian County. He seems to have forgotten that China, under the leadership of the imperial emperor Wang Yuze, is rapidly moving towards the road of the world's first power.

After receiving the telegram from Yamaguchi Aritomo, those Japanese generals did not dare to be perfunctory, and although they knew that Tokyo was very dangerous and that they would probably not be able to return when they entered Tokyo, they still had to speed up their advance towards Tokyo. After all, they dared to disobey Katsura Taro, but they didn't dare to play tricks in front of Youpeng in Yama County, otherwise, they would have died a miserable death. However, they were still very lucky when they arrived

Before reaching Tokyo, the Japanese troops in the Tokyo area had to retreat because of heavy losses, throwing the Japanese capital to the squadron.

On the night of 7 November, the 44th and 45th Divisions of the Eighth Army completed the landing overnight, and the artillery brigade and cavalry brigade of the army also successfully went ashore. This allowed the Eighth Army to show its formidable strength, especially the landing of the army's artillery brigade, which gave the Eighth Army the strength to advance closer to the interior of Tokyo. The warships of the Navy can cover a range of at most more than a dozen kilometers from the sea, and beyond fifteen kilometers, they cannot do anything. It's not that the range can't be reached, but because it's too far away to grasp the accuracy of the shelling.

On 8 November, the 10th and 37th Divisions of the Eighth Army, as the vanguard, launched a fierce assault on Tokyo. The 44th and 45th Divisions attacked on both flanks to expand the results of the battle. The artillery brigade of the army provided fierce artillery support to the departments! Although the cavalry brigade was not suitable for operating in the city, they broke through the Japanese blockade, passed through the city of Tokyo from the flank, and wantonly attacked the Japanese in the suburbs. Without cavalry and dense firepower, the Japanese could not withstand the attack of the cavalry brigade of the Eighth Army. At the same time, the 9th and 36th Divisions were also attacking from Yokohama to Tokyo. The whole of Tokyo trembled under the onslaught of the Eighth Army.

Street fighting is often the most tragic in the battle. Especially for the attacking side, it is very disadvantageous. Defenders can use their familiarity with the terrain and pre-built fortifications or structures to strike at the attacking army. It's just that when the squadron was training in peacetime, it strengthened the training in street fighting, and in the previous wars, it has accumulated a lot of refinement. Although the soldiers of the Eighth Army did not participate in the battles before this war, they also learned a lot of experience from friendly forces, and in the street battles, they were also able to play with ease, and the Japanese troops were defeated and retreated.

Snipers and machine gunners take cover in the back, infantry attack, encounters walls and the like, and explode directly with grenades. In this way, getting lost will not affect the battle. Once you encounter a barricade or a strong fire point built by the Japanese army, immediately call in the artillery behind for support. Mortars, which were equipped in each platoon, were very effective against these points of fire. This also makes the mortar gunners of each platoon the busiest in street fighting.

The Japanese fought very tenaciously, and they fought with the squadron for every street, every house, and even every ruin in Tokyo. However, in the face of the squadron with strong firepower and skilled tactics, they still looked very weak. Even if he was not afraid of death and shouted the slogan of "The Emperor is loaded" and attacked the squadron without fear of death, it was still only to increase casualties.

"The Emperor is onboard!" "Kill all these people!" A small squad of Japanese troops, armed with old-fashioned muskets, charged a squadron of **, their faces full of fanatical expressions.

"Da Da Da!" The light machine guns fired wildly, and as soon as the shuttle bullets passed, the Japanese troops fell to the ground in rows.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! The sniper was also calmly firing, and although his rate of fire was not fast, he was able to kill a Japanese soldier with each shot, and it was a headshot.

Other soldiers also opened fire one after another, and for a while, the Japanese soldiers who were charging were suffering heavy casualties. A squad of more than fifty people was slaughtered in less than ten minutes. Such a scene is being played out everywhere in Tokyo, although the Japanese army has the advantage of strength, but in terms of weapons and equipment and combat quality, it is far from being the opponent of the squadron. This made the Japanese pay huge casualties, but they were powerless to stop the progress of the squadron.

Some Japanese civilians who had not yet had time to escape also launched a suicide attack on the squadron. The soldiers of the Eighth Army had already learned about the situation encountered by the Second Army on Kyushu Island, so they did not let these Japanese go because they were civilians, and all the Japanese who showed hostility to the squadron were all killed.

By the end of the battle on November 8, half of Tokyo had fallen into the hands of the squadron. In this day's battle, the Japanese army paid at least 100,000 casualties, while the casualties of the squadron were very small, the whole army only suffered less than 2,000 casualties, and most of them were lightly wounded.

That night, in order to regain their positions, the Japanese army organized death squads to attack. However, the squadron had already prepared, and when the Japanese army launched an attack, countless flares rose into the air, illuminating the night as if it were day, and the figures of the Japanese soldiers who were bending their waists and attacking the squadron were all revealed. After that, what awaited them was a massacre of intensive firepower. After the artillery of the army and the naval guns of the navy joined in, the Japanese attack was bankrupt because of heavy losses!

On November 9, the Eighth Army captured the Japanese Imperial Palace, and the squadron took the whole of Tokyo, and there was no doubt about it!
