The 13th, 14th, 32nd, and 33rd Divisions of the Japanese Army, as well as the 8th Brigade of the Independent Artillery Corps, are all commanded by this headquarters. Japanese Army General Yoshiko Akiyama was in charge of commanding four divisions and one brigade of Japanese troops here.

Inside the headquarters, General Akiyama Yoshigu was yelling angrily: "Yaga! Damn the Shina people, how did they land in Choshi City? It's almost up to the outskirts of Tokyo, so what can I do? ”

The 4th Army of the Imperial Army launched an attack on Tokyo from the east, and the 1st Army of the Imperial Army flanked Tokyo, which made the situation in Tokyo even more dangerous all of a sudden. The Japanese General Staff Headquarters ordered Akiyama Yoshiko to lead the troops on the Boso Peninsula back to Tokyo and strengthen the defenses east of Tokyo. When the Imperial Army's 1st Army stormed Tokyo, the Japanese forces were mainly concentrated in the western part of Tokyo, so that the defenses in the eastern part of Tokyo were somewhat lax. After the Imperial Army's 4th Army landed in Choshi City, it would be meaningless for the Japanese army to deploy heavy troops on the Boso Peninsula. Now, the main battlefield is undoubtedly the fight against the Chinese* army in Tokyo.

"Your Excellency, the order from the General Staff Headquarters is for us to set off immediately." A staff officer reminded.

It is more than 100 kilometers from the southern part of the Boso Peninsula to Tokyo. The Japanese army generally relied on their legs to hurry, more than 100 kilometers, and they had to walk for several days. It was precisely because of this that the Japanese General Staff Headquarters asked Akiyama Yoshiko to immediately lead his army to Tokyo. If it is too late, perhaps with the attack power of the Chinese* army, Tokyo will already fall.

"Damn! Damn the Shina people. Admiral Akiyama scolded again.

"Ordered all the ministries to evacuate the Boso Peninsula in an hour and return to Tokyo. Since the people of China want to destroy us, then let's fight with them to break the net! Admiral Akiyama ordered.

Soon, four infantry divisions and one heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese Army were withdrawn from the southern part of the Boso Peninsula and moved towards Tokyo. These 110,000 Japanese troops, if they can return to Tokyo, will undoubtedly be able to strengthen Tokyo's defenses once again. It's just that the Chinese* army will watch these Japanese troops return to Tokyo? How is that possible? If they were to return to Tokyo, the Imperial Army would not know how much more blood would be shed in the street battles in Tokyo. It would be best if this Japanese army could be eliminated in the field.

The Imperial Army's 4th Army had its headquarters in a place east of Tokyo called Funabashi. At present, five infantry divisions, one heavy artillery brigade and one armored brigade under the command of the 4th Army of the Imperial Army have invaded the city from the east of Tokyo. The two sides are engaged in a fierce battle in this area. The Japanese army defended the city and tried their best to block the attack of the Imperial Army. Stubbornly fighting street battles with the Imperial Army. However, even though the Japanese army had been preparing for a long time, they were still suppressed by the Imperial Army in the street fighting. In the street fighting, the living space is constantly compressed by the Imperial Army.

"Commander, according to the information we have received, the Japanese army on the Boso Peninsula has begun to retreat and is heading towards Tokyo. The marshal asked us to annihilate this Japanese army first, and then attack Tokyo, so as to avoid being flanked by the Japanese in front and rear. A staff officer reported.

Admiral Shi Tianchuan nodded: "Well, it is indeed not a good thing for an army of more than 100,000 people to appear in our rear, we have to destroy them first before we can concentrate on attacking Tokyo." ”

The Japanese fought very tenaciously in the battle of Tokyo. Perhaps, they also know that they have no way back. Under such circumstances, the Japanese army was frantically fighting with the Chinese* army for all the buildings, even the ruins and trees in the city of Tokyo. As a result, the Imperial Army did not move forward, and it was necessary to destroy a large number of Japanese troops. Otherwise, you will have to pay a heavy price.

"Let the 4th Cavalry Brigade keep a close watch on the Japanese army. As soon as the Japanese army approached us, report it quickly. In addition, the 4th Armored Brigade was given an order to be aware of their own casualties during the battles in the city of Tokyo. When dealing with the Japanese troops who withdrew from the Boso Peninsula, they were the main force. Admiral Shi Tianchuan said. In order to destroy the more than 100,000 Japanese troops withdrawn from the Boso Peninsula, it was undoubtedly necessary for the armored forces to launch a surprise attack. In this way, the Imperial Army was able to destroy the Japanese army in the field with minimal cost.

"Yes, Commander." The staff officer nodded, and immediately went to deliver the order.

Tokyo, in the city, is the location of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters. Because the Imperial Army shelled Tokyo day and night, most of the buildings in Tokyo were destroyed. This is also the reason why the Imperial Navy has not yet had time to enter the Gulf of Tonkin. Otherwise, Tokyo would have been destroyed long ago. But even so, for the sake of safety, the Japanese army staff headquarters also changed places and moved into an underground bunker.

In addition to the chief of the Japanese General Staff, General Kawai Cao, who was seated here, the Minister of War, Shinroku Ishimoto, also moved his office here. After all, it's probably the safest place to be in Tokyo compared to the rest of Tokyo.

"Kawai-kun, where did the people of China hit?" The sixth general Shimoto asked with red eyes. After the Chinese* army began its offensive against Tokyo, he did not have much rest. Now he has a scruffy beard and looks very decadent.

The chief of the General Staff of the Japanese Army, Senior General Kawai Cao, is almost like this. They seem to have realized that this is already the last battle for Japan. If this battle is easily defeated by the Chinese Army, then Japan will be completely finished.

"The Shina Army, which is attacking from the west, has already reached the Setagaya area, and our warriors are still desperately defending, but the attack of the Shina people is too fierce. If this continues, they will be able to reach Chiyoda in a week at most. General Kawai said. Chiyoda Ward was the heart of Tokyo, where the Imperial Palace was located and the heart of the Japanese defenses. If even Chiyoda is defeated, then the Japanese army will be finished.

"Damn! What about the people of the eastern China? The sixth general of Shimoto asked.

"The Japanese army in the east is still being held back on the line between Ichikawa City and Matsudo City. However, our forces in the eastern area of Tokyo are too small, and the Shina advance is very fast. If they had fought the Edogawa River, they would have been able to directly threaten our core defense area. Kawai said.

"Akiyama is so old? When will his army be able to launch an offensive against the Chinans? Tell Akiyama that the safety of Tokyo is tied to him. If he can break through the defense zone of the Shina people and return to Tokyo, then we will be able to hold out much longer. The sixth general of Shimoto said.

General Kawai nodded: "I will send a telegram to Akiyama Yoshiko again." ”

The situation in Tokyo is getting worse and worse, so Shiroku Ishimoto and Kawai Sho keep sending telegrams urging Akiyama Yoshiko to have his army return to Tokyo as soon as possible to strengthen Tokyo's defenses.

General Akiyama had no choice but to keep asking the troops to speed up. This not only made the Japanese army very tired, but also made them fall into the trap of the Imperial Army.

In the Chinese art of war, there is a trick called encirclement and reinforcement. Now, the 4th Army of the Imperial Army is using this trick. They launched a fierce attack on Tokyo, forcing Akiyama Yoshiko to speed up his efforts to return reinforcements. The 4th Army of the Imperial Army seized the opportunity to launch an attack on Akiyama Yoshiko, annihilating more than 100,000 Japanese troops led by him.

On October 28, 4621, the Japanese army, who had been hurrying all the way, finally arrived five kilometers northwest of Chiba City. The hurried road for several days made the faces of these Japanese soldiers look tired. Their legs were as if they had been filled with lead. However, the officers on horseback were still urging them to speed up. This made those ordinary Japanese soldiers even think of dying.

At 10 a.m., the 4th Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army suddenly came out from the flank and cut the Japanese troops on the march into two sections in one fell swoop. At the same time, the 4th Infantry Division, the 19th Infantry Division, and the 34th Infantry Division of the Imperial Army, which had been withdrawn from Tokyo, took the opportunity to launch an attack and surrounded most of the Japanese army. The 4th Cavalry Brigade pursued the other part of the Japanese army.

Although the Japanese army had a certain advantage in terms of strength, they were dazed by the sudden attack. More than 200 tanks and armored vehicles of the 4th Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army easily crushed the resistance of the Japanese army. So much so that they were simply unable to organize a strong resistance.

When General Akiyama saw such a situation, his face immediately turned dead. Earlier he also received information that the 4th Army of the Chinese* army was storming Tokyo, and there were not many troops in the city of Funabashi. He even fantasized that he could cut off the headquarters of the 4th Army of the Imperial Army in one fell swoop, so that he could win a big victory.

But in the blink of an eye, everything changed. The main force of the 4th Group Army of the Chinese Army actually appeared here. This is clearly a conspiracy of the Chinese* army!

In the face of the surprise attack of the 4th Army of the Imperial Army, the Japanese army could not resist it at all. In addition, most of the Japanese soldiers were very tired, and their will to fight was even weaker. When facing the attack of the armored forces of the Imperial Army, after discovering that these iron guys were clearly invulnerable, many Japanese soldiers directly raised their hands and surrendered to the Imperial Army. And this further accelerated the defeat of the Japanese army.

By the time the sun went down, the main force of the Japanese army led by Akiyama Yoshiko had been annihilated, and only a few troops had managed to escape. The 4th Army of the Imperial Army was also able to devote itself to the attack on Tokyo without any worries. (To be continued.) )
