The Kanto Plain, formed by the two great rivers of the Tone River and the Arakawa River, is the most productive and densely populated region in Japan. Especially after the Meiji era, Edo changed its name to Tokyo and became the capital of Japan. With the improvement of modern industry, the entire Kanto region developed rapidly, but in the great earthquake of 1923, the Kanto region suffered serious losses, 150,000 people were killed in the earthquake, more than 2 million people were homeless, and many important Japanese industries were destroyed, which was one of the reasons why the Japanese militarists were eager to launch a war of aggression.

To this day, many broken walls and damaged fields and dams can still be seen on the Kanto Plain. Major Ning Shuxin of the Han Royal Guard, who had no time to watch the flat Kanto Great Plains from the air, let alone the beautiful Tokyo Bay of Nalaoshzi, had already heard the pilot's notice in the headset, and in three minutes, the plane would arrive at the preset location. For them, the paratroopers, it meant that the battle was about to begin.

Judging from the recent reconnaissance photos of the Air Force, the landing site chosen by the division headquarters is a farmland mixed with water and drought. Equal land without too many trees and mountains and rocks and other natural enemies of paratroopers is of course the best choice for landing, but as the battalion commander, Ning Shuxin can only silently bless his brothers not to fall into the paddy fields, it can be imagined that the feeling will definitely not be too wonderful.

The time was almost up, and the bell suddenly sounded in the cabin, and Ning Shuxin shouted: "Start!" ”

One familiar face after another slid out of the cabin beside him, and all Ning Shuxin could do was pat everyone the back, "Good luck!" Brothers! ”

Yes! For paratroopers, the word good luck is too important. No matter how meticulous the reconnaissance is, there is no guarantee that every paratrooper will be able to land safely on the ground. In the tens of seconds when the parachute bag was opened to the ground with both feet on the ground, the paratroopers did not have any ability to counterattack, and for the possible attack of the enemy, they could only secretly pray that they would not be so unlucky to be hit. Even if it falls to the ground, it is still in danger, and it would be best if they could quickly join their comrades, but many paratroopers died on the way to assemble.

The places where the paratroopers landed were undoubtedly behind enemy lines, and there were enemies except for their comrades. A paratrooper who fell in the bushes on the island of Crete was killed with a cane by an old Greek man, that is not a legend, but a fact.

At the same time, of course, it will not only be a battalion of Ning Shuxin, 360 large Tyrannosaurus Rex transport planes will carry out this mission, and the 30,000 Guards paratroopers and their equipment of the two divisions will be airborne to Kamata District, located about 20 kilometers east of the Japanese capital, Haneda Edomi Town. "Town" is equivalent to the meaning of small town in Chinese. Haneda Edomi Town, a small town in the southeastern suburbs of Tokyo.

Originally, it was a heavily defended location for the Japanese army, but due to the tight front, almost all the troops in Tokyo were taken to Nasudake by Ishihara Wanji, and with the emperor leaving Beijing, only a second-line wing of Japanese troops remained at Haneda Airport on the left bank of the Tama River estuary.

After this news was detected by the agents of the Military Intelligence Bureau, it was quickly fed back to the "Covering the Sky" General Headquarters, and Jiang Yunzhi keenly captured the fighters in it. Ishihara is not a good opponent to deal with, after the Aizu Wakamatsu annihilation battle, although the Allies have firmly grasped the initiative on the battlefield, but the indiscriminate bombardment of the Japanese army for many days has not achieved the expected results, there are not a few foolish loyalists in the Japanese army who want to repay the emperor with death, it is not easy to solve Ishihara's 500,000 Japanese troops in a short period of time, and the Japanese army has countless supplementary soldiers, although they are all recruits who have not been on the battlefield, but even millions of pigs can not be killed at once!

Didn't Your Majesty ask for an attack on Tokyo as soon as possible? Jiang Yunzhi stared at the map of Tokyo for a long time, and hung Major General Huo Wenfeng, the commander of the Third Army of the Guards Army, who was ordered to come. Knowing that his old superior was a violent temper, Commander Huo did not take the initiative to find a moldy head, but poured a cup of strong tea by himself, but he didn't expect to hear "You kid take care of himself?" ”

"Hehe" twice, Commander Huo hurriedly sent the teacup to Commander Jiang, Jiang Hei's face was not polite, and he took it and drank it, "Wen Feng, be ready to fight a tough battle!" ”

The official was crushed to death, and the tea that had just been poured was taken away by the commander Xiong, and before the cup for himself was poured, he heard this sentence. He didn't care about drinking water, Major General Huo put the cup on the table, turned around and stood upright, "Report to the commander, the Third Army has the confidence to carry out any task, and the Guards are never afraid to fight tough battles!" ”

The determination and will of the Guards never need to be doubted. "Come, Wenfeng!" Jiang Yunzhi summoned his love to the map, "Director Mu sent an urgent telegram, and the devil's old book has been pulled by Ishihara to Nasudake, and Tokyo's defense is empty." Here, the Japanese only have a second-line wing to defend, and if you can take it down and hold it for five hours, I can have a second group of troops to support you. ”

"Commander, are you going to take Tokyo directly?" On the military map, the location pointed by Jiang Yunzhi is obviously an airport. There is only one major airport in Tokyo's metropolitan area, and that is Haneda Airport. Attract the main Japanese force to Nasudake, then occupy the airfield with an air raid, and then take the airlift troops directly to Tokyo......

"Have faith?" This is obviously a radical method.

Commander Huo rolled his eyes, and here he is again! In the dictionary of our guards, is there the word "afraid"?

Jiang Yunzhi laughed, "Prepare for the action in the early hours of tomorrow morning, this time it is not as good as ......"

"Alright! Commander, isn't it just a day of being alone at the airport? Isn't this what our Airborne Forces do? Fighting in Tokyo is the biggest dream of every soldier of the Guards all along, and the commander can hand over this task to our Airborne Forces, thank you on behalf of the soldiers! Huo Wenfeng solemnly saluted a military salute.

……

Operation "Tiger's Den" was not very well planned, or rather an impromptu operation. This is also a place that has been often criticized in later generations; This is also the reason why the "Tiger's Den" is rarely in textbooks. This is because this operation is a very big risk, and if one is not done well, the airborne forces may be completely annihilated.

The defense situation near Tokyo, the military intelligence bureau was unable to obtain more and more detailed information. Hideki Tojo drained the water of Tokyo's business. The slogan "All the people are soldiers, the whole country is broken" was not shouted in vain, and the fact that the agents got the situation at Haneda Airport was also purely accidental - the deputy director of the Second Division of Military Intelligence, who was in charge of one-line contact with the "Prince", saw a document on the "Prince's" desk......

As a result, the operation could not be well planned, and even the authenticity of the intelligence could not be confirmed. But Jiang Yunzhi believed that even if the intelligence was wrong, even if there were more defenders at Haneda Airport, the Airborne Army would definitely be able to take it. Again, the old saying "Japan is not Crete, and the Guards are not German paratroopers." ”

The place where Major Ning Shuxin landed was a paddy field...... After skillfully cutting the parachute line, check your DH-40 paratrooper assault rifle, and after making sure that there is no problem, turn on the wombat miniature communicator on the camouflage helmet. Luckily, within a 2,000-meter effective communication distance, there were many comrades-in-arms, and even within sight, there was an unlucky guy who had just crawled out of the paddy field covered in mud and water.

Major Ning was a little amused, this field was vast, the nearest village was also a thousand meters away, and the Nikko Mountains and the Three Kingdoms Mountains were clearly visible in the distance. Compared to the last time Niigata was airborne, he was unlucky to hang on a tree branch, this time it can be said that it is too comfortable, especially the unlucky guy who fell into the paddy field next to him, which made Major Ning's heart balance a lot.

The process of gathering the soldiers was also relatively smooth, and the wombat-style helmet communicator made Major Ning's side, and soon gathered nearly two hundred paratroopers, although not all of them were brothers of his own battalion, but this situation was accustomed to in airborne operations, and when the paratroopers could not find their own troops, they all joined the brother units nearby.

The accident happened in the small village in sight, and when Ning Shuxin led the paratroopers to follow the map signs and advance towards the preset assembly point of the division headquarters, he suddenly heard gunfire coming from the village.

"Our people!" Everyone heard it, it was the sound of the DH-40 assault rifle, which was a paratrooper gun peculiar to the Airborne Forces. "Click, click!" Without waiting for the order, everyone has already opened the insurance of the assault rifle. Ning Shuxin quickly assigned the task, a lieutenant led a squad of soldiers into the village to search, and he led another squad to outflank the other direction of the village, and the other soldiers were on guard. No one objected, unlike other troops, in the paratrooper unit, the commander's casualty rate was the highest, because there was no distinction between the front line and the rear of the paratroopers, and the place where the commander landed was the command headquarters, and rushing to the front was the helplessness of the paratrooper officer and the tradition of the paratrooper unit.

The village is not big, and it looks like dozens of families. The houses are also common wooden board houses in the Kanto region of Japan, and the group of Major Ning, who came from behind, walked to the middle of the village when the battle was over, but all the paratroopers behind the major were enraged by the scene in front of them - several Japanese civilians who had been killed were scattered around, and under a large tree in the middle, there was still a corpse lying there, and the unique camouflage military uniform on it proved that this was a paratrooper soldier, but ...... It was a headless corpse, and the head of the paratrooper had been cut off by the villagers.

Compared with the soldiers who were impulsive to slaughter the village, Ning Shuxin seemed calmer.

The Japanese really deserve to die, but as the commander, Ning Shuxin forced himself to be calm. Major Ning, who had red circles under his eyes, ordered the sacrificed comrades to be carried on their backs, and the recovered heads were also put away, and they were buried outside the village and marked!

"When the war is over, we'll take this brother home! Now, all of them, line up - go! ”

There is no need to explain, Major Ning ignored the hatred and incomprehension in the eyes of his brothers, the Guards are the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, the Airborne Army is the elite of the elite, and the three regulations of the paratroopers are obedience, obedience, and especially obedience.

Ning Shuxin knew that there must be many brothers scolding him for being cold-blooded and ruthless in their hearts at this time, and it was estimated that he would be able to get together with the four famous arrests. A few minutes later, a squad of fighters caught up with him, "Report to the battalion commander, it's done!" ”

Major Ning nodded and glanced at the brothers around him, "All keep up, we have to hurry." ”

The voices in the team who answered were a little untidy, and there were even those who dragged out a long voice, "Nima, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's back hand, he would really be despised by the gang boy!" ”

A minute later, a loud bang suddenly came from the back of the team, and everyone couldn't help but look back, a puff of black smoke rose in the sky above the Japanese village, and there were a few faint cries for help!

"Battalion commander, did you order it?"

"I'll you, battalion commander, you're too dark-bellied, aren't you?"

……

"Don't talk nonsense, don't rub it off, hurry up for Lao Tzu. If we miss the assembly time, we'll have to play with the devils by ourselves! Ning Shuxin deliberately kept a straight face, but he couldn't hide that little smugness. Such a trivial thing as loading a crockpot grenade and making a time bomb can still stump our all-powerful paratroopers? ”

"Yes! Battalion Commander: "This time, the answer was obviously much louder.
