After a day and a half of fighting, the open and dark flames in Tokyo City were finally extinguished, and the casualties were counted. According to the number of casualties reported by various districts, incomplete statistics, last night's bombing directly caused 54,843 deaths and 37,891 missing in Tokyo, and more than 100,000 people were burned and choked.

In addition, the city of Tokyo was severely damaged, nearly 55 square kilometers were burned, mainly to the west of the Imperial Palace, and about a quarter of Tokyo was razed to the ground, including large areas of industrial, commercial and residential areas.

Moreover, after the bombing, Japan's military production capacity fell by about one-tenth, of which warships and warplanes were the most affected, a number of aircraft factories in Tokyo were destroyed, and many docks were burned to charcoal.

On November 5, the Japanese government announced to all countries in the world that in view of the unforgivable crimes committed by Chen Feng's troops against the Japanese Empire, the Japanese government and the base camp officially listed all members of the Chen family and all military and political officials in Saibei as the targets of killing, and would deal with the above personnel at all costs, including assassination and other unconventional means, and the Imperial Japanese Army refused to accept prisoners from the Eighth War Zone in China.

This statement by the Japanese Government shocked the world circles, and it can be said that it was announced to the countries of the world that the bombing the day before yesterday was carried out by Chen Feng, otherwise the Japanese Government would not have issued such an unending declaration.

All countries have heard about the tragic scene after the bombing of Tokyo, and they are all shocked by the strength and boldness of Chen Feng's unit. Of course, there are also people in some countries who are very disdainful of Chen Feng's behavior of disregarding civilians, especially the British who are the loudest, and articles condemning Chen Feng have appeared in the British official media.

Chen Feng didn't care about this, anyway, he and the Japanese had already been immortal, and they had no skin for each other for a long time, so how could they be merciful. As for the clamor of the British, Chen Feng didn't care even more, he was just a clown, and those Anglo masters obviously forgot how the German bomber group bombed them.

On the morning of 6 November, Liu Nijia, commander-in-chief of the Northern Air Force, held a press conference in Guisui, at which Liu Nijia confirmed to all reporters. It was the Air Force of the Eighth Theater that bombed Tokyo on November 3. A total of 340 fighters were dispatched by the Northern Air Force in this bombing, and while achieving brilliant results, their own losses were very small, and only 3 fighters were shot down in total. 12 were damaged. There were no casualties.

In addition, in view of the fact that the Japanese government and military are carrying out a planned and premeditated massacre of the Chinese people in Northeast China. After deliberation by the Theater Commander's Department, it was decided to launch a punitive attack on the Japanese Government.

At the same time, Liu Nijia also announced that such a large-scale bombing would be normalized, and the so-called normalization was that the bombing opportunities of the Northern Air Force would often visit Japan. Moreover, the target of the bombing is not limited to Tokyo, all large and medium-sized cities in Japan will be targeted by the Chinese air force until the Japanese government surrenders.

The impact of the bombing on China and Japan as well as on the international community was unprecedented, first of all, it was the first time that the Japanese mainland was attacked since the Japanese Kwantung Army invaded China in 31, and it was of extraordinary significance. Second, the damage caused by this bombing was also unprecedented, with tens of thousands of Japanese killed and more than 100,000 wounded, and nearly a million more homeless. In addition, the astonishing combat power displayed by Chen Feng's troops in this large-scale bombing made everyone feel shocked, and the high-level governments of the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, and other countries reassessed the combat effectiveness of Chen Feng's troops.

At the same time, this bombing also made the countries of the world frightened Chen Feng's fighter with unprecedented strength, and according to the results of the Japanese army's special high-tech reconnaissance, the fighter plane took off from the Chinese mainland, not from the Nanyang territory. Even the east coast of China, which is the closest to Tokyo, is 1,500 kilometers, and if you take off from an inland airport, the distance is more than 2,000 kilometers, and the round-trip distance is about 4,000 kilometers.

Even Japan's most advanced fighter has a maximum range of only more than 3,000 kilometers, and China's fighter planes have reached more than 6,000 kilometers, which means that fighters taking off from China's coastal airfields can carry out precise strikes on the entire territory of Japan.

Indeed, within a week of the November 3 bombing, China's Northern Air Force bombed Nagoya and the port city of Yokohama in Japan. The bombing was carried out at the same time, and despite the emergency preparations made by the Japanese side, it was still unable to achieve effective defense, and the two cities were severely damaged, especially the port of Yokohama, which was almost destroyed.

The three successive bombings made the Japanese side extremely nervous, especially after the palace was destroyed by a small part, Emperor Hirohito could not sit still, and personally convened the ministers for an imperial meeting to discuss the next war.

At the Imperial Conference, the Japanese Government re-analyzed the current international situation, holding that under the influence of the bombing, the morale of China, Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union, and the Netherlands would inevitably be boosted, and that the United States and Britain would even launch a counteroffensive ahead of schedule. Therefore, the nearest thing that the empire along the line has to solve is to solve Chen Feng's department, at all costs.

Subsequently, the Japanese base camp adjusted its operational plan, stopped launching attacks on the United States, Britain, the Netherlands, and other countries, and instead mobilized the main forces to the Nanyang Territory and the Chinese mainland.

At the same time, the Japanese government once again issued a national mobilization order, this time it is expected to recruit 1.2 million new soldiers, expanding the total strength of the Japanese army to 4.7 million to cope with the next war.

Shortly after the conclusion of the Imperial Council, a military meeting was held at the headquarters at the level of the Minister of the Navy and the Army and the Heads of the Intelligence Agency, and the chief of staff, Prince Miyakihito, who had not appeared for a long time, personally presided over the meeting.

At the meeting, Prince Zaihito of the Imperial Palace personally instructed that although the Japanese Empire was now fighting in China and the South Pacific at the same time, the war in the South Pacific was basically over, and the remaining thing was how to keep the eggs in the basket and not be counterattacked by the United States and Britain.

The most important thing at the moment was to resolve the Chinese incident, and for this reason, Prince Zairen of the Xianyuan Palace personally signed a combat plan called "Slaying the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger," which was handed over to the special high-tech department for implementation, and demanded that the implementation of the plan be completed within three months.

At the same time, Prince Zaihito of the Imperial Japanese Army also emphasized that the task of the Imperial Japanese Army Navy and Army at present is not to expand its territory. Rather, it was necessary to do everything in its power to defend the occupied areas now occupied, and to consolidate the rule of the imperial army in the various colonies, especially Manchuria, which could not be lost in any way.

In order to keep the Manchurian region, the Japanese army headquarters reported to Emperor Hirohito and made a decision to transfer General Umezu Mijiro to Manchuria to replace General Yamada Otozo, who was ineffective in combat, and at the same time transfer Hideki Tojo, commander of the Seventh Army of the North China Front, to return to China to take over the post of Umezu Mijiro Minister of War.

Although there is a suspicion of demotion, the base camp is also no longer available, although the Kwantung Army barely resisted the joint attack of the Chinese and Soviet armies, but still lost one-third of the land, if it were not for a large number of strong fortifications to rely on, the Chinese and Soviet armies are likely to enter the new capital.

The base camp combed through the various generals in detail, and found that only Umezu Mijiro could save the Kwantung Army and Manchuria. Because Umezu Mijiro not only served in the North China Front, but also served as the supreme commander of the Kwantung Army.

In the eyes of the General Staff Headquarters and the Emperor, General Umezu Yoshijiro was a cool-headed, resourceful and decisive man, and almost all Japanese generals recognized Umezu Mijiro as a mild-mannered man, clear-headed, extremely cautious in handling affairs, and resolute and resolute in dealing with major events.

In addition, Umezu Yoshijiro had made meritorious contributions to the army after the 226 Incident, and at the same time planned the 35-year Sino-Japanese North China Incident, and also signed the infamous "He-Mei Agreement" with China's He Jingzhi, and the "He-Mei Agreement" created conditions for Japan's invasion of North China, so it was deeply appreciated by the emperor and military personnel.

On November 9, 1941, Umezu was appointed by Emperor Showa as Commander of the Kwantung Army and Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Manchuria. It was ordered to rebuild the Kwantung Army, advance preparations for war against China and the Soviet Union, and further "develop" the resources of the puppet Manchurians and provide war materials. This is the second time that Umezu Mijiro has served as the commander of the Kwantung Army!

On November 15, on the same day that the Chinese and Soviet troops broke through the Japanese defense line on the Tangwang River, Senior General Umezu Mijiro flew to Shinkyo by special plane and took up his post.

Although the Kwantung Army, Manchuria and the Imperial Allied Army of Manchuria and Korea still had a total strength of more than one million, the enemy they faced was also extremely powerful, and after the loss of the 1st Division and the 1st Tank Division, the combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army had dropped very much, and it was now basically in an embarrassing state of passive defense.

Yesterday, the Chinese and Soviet troops broke through the positions of the Kwantung Army on the first line of the Tangwang River, more than 20,000 elites of the Kwantung Army were annihilated, and 20,000 Imperial Allied troops surrendered to the Chinese and Soviet Army, and now the Chinese and Soviet Army has surrounded more than 40,000 Japanese immigrants and more than 20,000 troops and 40,000 armed immigrants in Yichun.
