Chapter 69: Halsey's Shock
"Understood" The commando who ran over to report the news turned around and returned to the main entrance of the palace, snatched the light machine gun in the hand of a lurker, and fired a shuttle of bullets at the Japanese soldiers outside. "People outside, listen up, the emperor and empress are all in our hands, why do you still insist on attacking here, we will execute the empress first, then kill the emperor, and finally kill all the royal family living here, please consider whether to attack again."
Whether the gunfire at the main gate stopped or not, Zhang Hua in the palace didn't care at all, as long as Emperor Hirohito and Empress were in his hands, those seemingly crazy Japanese soldiers would never dare to break in rashly. "The 1234 team serves as the guard on all sides of the inner palace of the palace, tying up those subordinates in the palace together as meat shields, the five or six teams guard the emperor and the empress, and the seven or eight teams immediately search the entire palace to eliminate all hidden dangers that are unfavorable to us, and the rest of the people follow me."
Although Zhang Hua said that his subordinates were very scattered, they had walkie-talkies in their hands, and each 10-person team had a walkie-talkie to facilitate communication between them. Now the city of Tokyo is a complete mess, because their emperor has become a prisoner in the hands of a group of thugs, after entering the palace, Zhang Hua and they only spoke Chinese once in front of Emperor Hirohito, and the rest of the conversation was in Japanese, even those lurkers, and the gendarmes who had surrounded the palace naturally thought that Zhang Hua was a group of local thugs.
The First Division of the Emperor's Imperial Forest Army, Miyasuke Kawamura, was woken up by his own subordinates in his sleep. "Yaga, what's the matter?" Miyasuke Kawamura was furious when he was woken up in his sleep, and he yelled at his subordinates who woke him up when he also fell asleep at dawn.
"Your Excellency, the Imperial Palace has been attacked by unknown armed forces, and it seems that the Emperor and Empress have fallen into the hands of those rioters, so please go to the Imperial Palace immediately, Your Excellency." Miyasuke Kawamura's subordinate said in a panic. Knowing that the palace was attacked by unknown thugs, Miyasuke Kawamura, who did not dare to slack off, hurriedly put on his military uniform and his subordinates and rushed to the palace.
Kawamura Miyasuke chuckled in his heart, whether the emperor has something to do or is okay this time, he can't escape the blame, if the emperor is okay, he has to take off his military uniform no matter what he says, if the emperor has an accident, it won't be so simple, and it will be Amaterasu blessing to be able to make it himself. When Miyasuke Kawamura came to the gate of the palace, he saw several armored vehicles parked at the gate of the palace that were preparing to attack, and the Guards Division was not a field division, so although it was well-equipped, it was not equipped with weapons for armored vehicles and attack armored vehicles, and these armored vehicles obviously did not belong to the Guards Division.
"Stop the attack, stop." When Kawamura Miyasuke arrived at the gate of the palace, the mercenary who had just in time to report to Zhang Hua shouted outside the gate, and Kawamura Miyasuke, who was worried about the safety of the imperial family, naturally couldn't watch those armored vehicles attack the palace. If you anger the thugs inside, those people will probably really kill the emperor and empress, and possibly kill all the people in the palace, but Kawamura Miyasuke can't afford to take this responsibility.
"General Kawamura, we will not easily hurt His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress Mother, but I ask Your Excellency Kawamura not to be impulsive, if you insist on attacking the Imperial Palace, I think my subordinates may not be able to control their emotions, after all, we don't want His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress Mother to have an accident." Knowing that Miyasuke Kawamura, the commander of the Guards Division, was coming, Zhang Hua emphasized through the sandbag shelter at the main entrance of the palace in a fluent Tokyo.
Hearing Zhang Hua's words, the worried Kawamura Miyasuke breathed a sigh of relief, listening to this person's accent and this person's tone, the emperor and empress should still be safe at this time. As long as the emperor was alive, everything would be much easier, and in Kawamura Miyasuke's subconscious, he did not expect that it would be Chinese who would confront him in the palace, and thought that it was another soldier who had mutinied in that unit, and was ready to hold the emperor and empress hostage and ask the cabinet to agree to their conditions.
Mutinies were a common occurrence in Japan, but this time they went too far, and even if the cabinet finally agreed to their demands under pressure, the ninja group left over from the shogunate era would not allow these abductors to live in the world. "Can you tell me which division you belong to? Why are you doing this? If you have any requirements, please make them now, and I can help you solve them. Kawamura Miyasuke asked Zhang Hua, who was across the door, if he could know the details of these people, when the cabinet came in a while, he could be regarded as taking the initiative.
"Your Excellency, General, we have no comment!" Zhang Hua hid behind the sandbag and prevaricated with Kawamura Miyasuke, but the smile on his face couldn't be more obvious, the idiot outside the door actually regarded himself and the commando team as the Japanese soldiers who launched a mutiny, anyway, it was still early, so he slowly spent some time with the strings outside.
The emperor was kidnapped, Kawamura Miyasuke didn't dare to hide the matter from the military department now, the cabinet already knew about it, and he couldn't hide it if he wanted to, and finally rescued the emperor, if the emperor felt that he had lost face and became angry, he would be to blame for dying ten thousand times. Miyasuke Kawamura is also very tormented now, what should I do now?
"General Kawamura, do as they say, let your troops retreat, Your Majesty and I are safe now!" Just when Kawamura Miyasuke was suffering in his heart, the queen's voice came from the palace gate, which made Kawamura Miyasuke, who was struggling, like a lost child who suddenly found his way forward.
"Your Highness the Empress, how is His Majesty the Emperor?" Miyasuke Kawamura asked in a loud voice inside.
"Your Majesty the Emperor is very good, General Kawamura, please do as they say, withdraw your troops back 500 meters, I promise that you will not be punished for this, even if someone will investigate your responsibility in the future, I will defend you for what you have done today." The Empress on the other side of the palace gate had no choice but to say that the Emperor had been knocked unconscious by them, and he had a pistol on his head. According to the emperor's character, he would never have compromised, and now he can only come forward by himself, and he also has a pistol on the emperor's head, and the empress has to say this for the emperor's temporary safety.
With the queen's assurance, Kawamura Miyasuke immediately gathered all the officers who rushed here together and gave the order to retreat, and some officers wanted to ask clearly, after receiving a few big mouths from Kawamura Miyasuke, all the officers of the Guards Division seemed to have opened their minds, and ordered their troops to withdraw 500 meters back. As soon as the Guards Division had withdrawn according to Kawamura Miyasuke's order, the cabinet members who had learned the news drove over, and before they could ask Kawamura Miyasuke why they had withdrawn their troops, these former cabinet members rushed through the gate of the palace and shouted to see the emperor.
The task of the commando team is to capture the Japanese emperor alive, then the members of the imperial family, and finally the members of the Japanese cabinet and those senior military generals, but it is quite difficult to implement the operation, Zhang Hua can only take care of the urgent emperor first, this will suddenly appear A group of cabinet members want to enter the palace, and the overjoyed Zhang Hua naturally wants to fulfill their wishes. The gate of the palace, which was aimed at by more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns of the Guards Division, slowly opened, and Zhang Hua, who was wearing a military police uniform, beckoned those cabinet members into the palace, and even the commander of the Guards Division, Miyasuke Kawamura, was also brought in by him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome in and in the company of your Emperor." Kawamura Miyasuke stepped into the palace with his front foot, and the back foot of the palace gate was tightly closed, and the anesthetic blow needle made by the special team finally came in handy, and the cabinets who entered the palace had not had time to react, and they had all turned to the inside of the gate. "Tie them up, search them, and move them to be locked up with their emperor." Zhang Hua saw that the time was almost up, so he took two teams of mercenaries to the northwest corner of the palace.
At this time, the sound of guns and explosions in Tokyo Bay, which had become a sea of fire, became a sea of fire, and for the success of this landing, Zhao Zhi did not hesitate to give Halsey all the powerful incendiary bombs produced by the Thunder Arsenal for half a year. In the first wave of air raids carried out by US carrier-based bombers on Tokyo Bay, more than 120 of these powerful incendiary bombs were dropped, and the scorching flames seemed to melt everything, and the pilots of the US fighters hovering in the air could feel the high temperature from the ground through the cabin, and the flames and smoke were enveloped in the entire Tokyo Bay, and the landing operation that had not yet begun seemed to have become much simpler.
"General, I have received a signal from the city of Tokyo, asking the airborne troops of the Thunder to immediately carry out the airborne landing, and the receiving troops will release smoke bombs to provide target guidance for the bombers." Halsey's staff officer delivered the telegram he had just received. Before the fleet left Kyushu Bay, Zhao Zhi told Halsey that there would be an internal response to the airborne troops, but Halsey refused to believe it, and he couldn't think of what would happen if an airborne force without backup was sent into the dangerous city of Tokyo.
"Can you be sure that the telecommunications are coming from this location?" After reading the telegram in his hand and getting a definite answer from his staff officer, Halsey's heart was full of excitement. Zhao Zhi is really right, he does have a receiving force in the city of Tokyo, and he has enough ability to help the airborne troops, as long as he has a brain, he knows what this telegram from the Japanese Imperial Palace means. Although Halsey himself did not believe it, he had to admit that Zhao Zhi's receiving force had probably captured the Japanese Imperial Palace, believing that the location they had given the bombers was within 500 to 1,000 meters of the Japanese Imperial Palace.
