73. The Great Bombing of Tokyo
The sound of gunfire, explosions, the roar of collapsing buildings, the screams of dying human beings, all mingle to form a symphony that symbolizes destruction
Akasaka Town, which was once full of ancient elegance and tranquility, is being consumed by the flames of war at an astonishing rate.
-- The members of the right-wing violent groups who started the armed rebellion were almost all screaming and pouring fire, constantly firing bullets at any target, as if they were a fresh toy, and did not care at all about the damage caused to the courtyards of the surrounding antique buildings.
To some extent, these Koreans in Japan are also hiding the tremors and fears that lie deep in their hearts -- launching an armed rebellion in Tokyo is much more exciting than marching in the streets with military songs, so much more than their hearts can bear.
On the other hand, the drunken Russian Maozi did not have the slightest concept of preserving Japan's tangible cultural heritage, and only cared about squandering astronomical amounts of ammunition to completely overwhelm the opponent at once, and treated every firepower point where the enemy was stubbornly resisting, and blew up into the sky or burned to ashes along with the building itself. The path on which they marched was littered with ruins, scorched earth and corpses.
As for the accidental injuries and manslaughter caused in the course of the exchange of fire between the two sides, they were invariably and gorgeously completely ignored.
-- Tragically, because the battle broke out without warning, the residents of this town did not have time to evacuate, and in the face of the sudden outbreak of war around them, they really had no other choice but to hide and shiver at home.
The question is. Even huddled in the corner of your house or under your bed with your head and arms in your arms, in such a cramped battlefield where both sides are recklessly abusing weapons of mass destruction. There was no security at all - soon a mob broke into the house and was caught in the middle of the fire; or to be killed by bullets that pierced the walls of the planks; Or a missed cloud bomb bursts through the window, and the whole family becomes popcorn with a "boom......
-- The destructive power of RPG bazookas and mortar shells is generally not enough to destroy a modern building made of reinforced concrete, but it is definitely more than enough to deal with a traditional Japanese house made of wood, tatami mats, and paper.
At the same time, the flamethrowers of the Russians quickly turned several houses into barbecue grills. Whether it was the thugs hiding in it or the innocent owners of the house, they were all turned into half-cooked grilled ribs in the heart-rending shouts.
Worse. AK47 bullets rained down on the streets, blocking the way to escape; RPGs and mortar shells flying in the sky are harvesting life on the ground irregularly...... The members of the violent group who were beaten by the Russian hairs and were scattered and urinated, although they did not have the courage to turn around and fight back, to regain face in the battle. However, this did not prevent them from robbing homes and houses, killing people and setting fires along the way, and using their guns to vent their lust on ordinary citizens, causing more murders -- of course, there were also some scraps of firewood that went to the extreme. Even the simple work of bullying ordinary citizens with guns is not good, and unfortunately he died under the baseball bat of a high school student and the kitchen knife of a housewife......
Even if someone manages to escape from the fiercely fought town of Akasaka. Elsewhere in Chiyoda, several other coup forces are also engaged in sporadic firefights. In particular, at the Metropolitan Police Department's headquarters near Sakurada Gate, even main battle tanks and surface-to-surface missiles were used in street battles. Hundreds of high-explosive rockets, raining down like meteors, inevitably hit the pond fish while destroying the coup forces...... Many people rushed out of their homes in the heat of battle in the face of bullets and bullets, only to find themselves desperately fleeing from one battlefield to another. …,
Such a brutal picture of death and destruction may have been common and natural in war-torn areas such as Somalia, the Middle East, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. However, Japan, which has traditionally been regarded as rich and stable, is a big event that many people can't imagine - but the reality is so cruel that in just 10 days, Tokyo first broke out in riots of unprecedented proportions, then the nuclear crisis that affected half of Japan, and now there are scenes that seem to only exist in anime, such as missiles sweeping the floor and tanks taking to the streets......
As a result, the illusion of peace and prosperity in Japan for decades after the war was completely shattered, leaving an indelible haze in the minds of many Japanese, and shortly thereafter, a large number of cults preaching the end of Shijie sprung up in the Kanto region, and it is estimated that it was not unrelated to the impact of this series of upheavals.
Of course, this will be a long time later, and the residents of Akasaka Town at this time will first have to race against the poisonous smoke of the fire.
-- After such an unbridled scuffle, Akasaka Town, where houses are compact and flammable building materials are abundant, is finally on fire!
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Bullets, grenades, cloudbursts, mortars, flamethrowers......
The orange firelight, the terrible screams, the black smoke that soared into the sky, and the scorching heat wave......
Unfortunately, Akasaka Town, which was at the center of the whirlpool of war, is known as an "Edo-style town" with its many high-end pavilions and beautiful gardens, and has always been known as an "Edo-style town" that has preserved the old style of the Edo period. Specifically, there are a large number of traditional Japanese-style houses, which pave the way for tonight's disaster - traditional Japanese-style buildings are usually made of lightweight materials such as wooden planks and pieces of paper to prevent earthquakes from smashing people when they collapse, but when it comes to fires, these building materials can also be used as haode fuel......
As a result, this ancient neighborhood quickly turned into a bright torch burning in the night, with crackling, collapsing, and cries for help coming and going one after another. Deadly smoke and flames poured out along the narrow alleys, making it seem like a churning hell in all directions......
To add insult to injury, in high-consumption places like Akasaka, where every inch of land is at a premium, many houses and buildings are building to save land. They were all densely packed together, and the narrow alleys between them could barely be driven by motorcycles, and they could not act as firebreaks at all, and this time the fire came so quickly...... Thereupon. By the time the violent street shootout had not yet been decided, the raging fires had already gotten out of control. People desperately called for help, but neither police cars, fire trucks, nor ambulances could get to the scene in the midst of the chaos.
As the fire intensified, the people who were about to suffocate in the smoke finally no longer cared about the bullets flying in the streets, and dragged their wives and children out of the houses and ran wildly in the fire. Trying to escape to safety. In this race of life and death, some of the infirm people were pushed to the ground from behind, and their bodies were immediately trampled dirty by countless stinky feet running wildly. I finally waited until the crowd dispersed. Trembling and struggling to stand up, he was knocked down again by the next wave of people and continued to stomp on the ...... In the orange firelight, the streets were full of trampled and injured guys, lying on the ground groaning in pain and dying. Zuihou was slowly engulfed by the approaching flames......
The so-called purgatory on earth in this world is probably nothing more than that.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――…,
Facing the choking smoke, Prime Minister Kotori Yu Mayahiro stood in the dilapidated courtyard, by the orange-red light of the burning houses along the street. Looking out at the fire all around - from the courtyard of the pavilion, there was a blinding red everywhere. It seemed that the whole city had fallen into flames: the heavens were burning, and the earth was burning. There was either fire or smoke in the air, as if everything in the world had been completely engulfed in fire and smoke.
A few minutes ago, she had tried to step out of the flowing water courtyard of the pavilion and go closer to the outside to check the situation, but she was overturned by a wave of scorching air on the spot, and she was so smoked that she could barely open her eyes. Deadly smoke and flames poured out of every door and window of the burning house, turning the neighborhood into a churning hell, filled with the beeping of burning fires and the loud rumble of houses collapsing.
To make matters worse, the strong evening breeze further fueled the fire, causing the fire to spread far faster than people could have imagined. Even some places that are still far away from the battlefield have suffered from the pond fish because of the wind-fueled fire. Houses after houses, orange-red flames rose in the wind that carried Mars, creating more light and heat...... Choking dust and smoke filled every corner of the surrounding area.
The brave citizens who were lucky enough to break out of the burning building and try to fight the fire demon had to fight the fire in vain against the scorching heat, and also managed to avoid the volleys of bullets and RPGs...... Soon he became helpless and could only let the flames rage.
Although the number of both sides fighting in front of Ryotei is not too large compared to the entire population of Akasaka Town, the number of stray bullets is also limited. But the chaos and deadly fires have magnified this fear......
Next, Prime Minister Kotori Yu Mahaku saw with his own eyes that a three-story Japanese-style wooden building on the opposite side of the street that was suspected of being entrenched by the remnants of the enemy collapsed in the sea of fire, rolling up a large cloud of choking smoke and dust, and even jumped over the courtyard wall into the "Shi Yuxuan" pavilion, so that a few guys who were caught off guard were hurt by the hot ash, and immediately cried loudly.
What's worse is that countless scattered embers and sparks were also lifted over, falling on the roof of the "Shi Yuxuan" kiosk and the paper sliding door, and in an instant, strings of orange flames burst out - thanks to the fact that there are enough people here, and there is no shortage of fire-fighting equipment, it finally did not burn too badly.
At the same time, through various communication tools, real-time information on the current situation in the entire Tokyo metropolitan area began to flow like a stream.
“…… The exchange of fire in the vicinity of the Metropolitan Police Department's headquarters continues, and a tank has been destroyed and more than 100 insurgents have been annihilated. But the remnants of the rebels still relied on the fire cover provided by another tank to engage in a fierce battle with the Metropolitan Police Department's mobile team! Six shells were fired at the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters building, four officers were wounded in the shelling, and one officer died in the line of duty......"
“…… The Imperial Palace in Tokyo and the Supreme Inquisition in Miyazaka have been occupied by rebels, and the Imperial Palace is on fire......"
“…… The Prime Minister's Mansion has now fallen, and the rebels are attacking the National Assembly Building, seemingly preparing to occupy the entire town of Nagata! ”
“…… A rebel tank stormed Ginza, causing a serious public panic! Part of the thug started robbing high-end jewelry stores! ”
“…… The subway and trams have been completely paralyzed. Even the Shinkansen is out of service! Tens of thousands of people are enclosed below the ground and can't get out! ”
“…… The 1st Capital Division in Nerima District still remains at the base with a vague attitude and no signs of sending troops out of the camp to suppress it. ”
“…… Fires broke out in many government offices and important buildings in Chiyoda Ward, but traffic was hampered by scuffles between various parties. Fire trucks can't get in smoothly! ”…,
“…… Shinjuku and Shibuya are once again flooded with rioters, and a new round of Tokyo riots could happen at any time! ”
“…… All kinds of terrible and absurd rumors are circulating wildly in the city, and there has been another wave of exodus among the people! ”
……
So, in the face of all kinds of bad news, looking at the vast sea of fire that seemed to be able to swallow heaven and earth, Prime Minister Kotori Yu Mahaku suddenly crossed his waist with his hands, held up his flat chest with almost no curvy fluctuations, and let out a poignant laugh full of the characteristics of the second disease.
“…… Kuku! It's wonderful! Flames. Just burn it! Heat wave, just blow like that! Ring the death knell of the land of Yellow Springs, let the red lotus of destruction descend on the mortal world, and burn all the filth of this world with pure fire! ”
However. Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sister Wang Yao's familiar slashing knife.
“…… Real White Sauce...... What do you want me to say about you? Don't use the second disease to escape reality as soon as you encounter difficulties! ”
Wang Yao grabbed her ears and shouted, "...... Do you want to burn people here? Hurry up and come up with a countermeasure for me! ”
-- At this time. The "Shi Yuxuan" Pavilion had almost sunk into the depths of the sea of fire, and the scorching air made people feel a burst of chest tightness and discomfort. Given the common sense that one should seek out an open spot to escape a fire, all the cooks, maids, geisha and guests who survived the attack are now gathered in the courtyard of the pavilion. Even jumped into artificial creeks and ponds. But there are still many people who were burned and disrupted during the transfer. Others had their heads bled and their hands and feet broken, and their skin was covered in blisters. He collapsed helplessly on the ground and groaned - for example, Governor Kamijo Keikatsu and Chief Cabinet Secretary Junzaburo Izumita, who were unfortunately hit by a rocket in a small box.
Outside, the fire was still spreading in the wind. More and more houses were set on fire, and the smoke from the sky completely blocked the view...... Obviously, the "Shi Yuxuan" pavilion is gradually surrounded by fire, and even if it can't be burned for a while, everyone is in danger of being smoky to death by the thick smoke or suffocating in the heat wave - but if they want to retreat, they don't know where to go, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not encounter sniping on the way.
In the face of such a tangled problem, Prime Minister Kotori Yumashiro, who is not very good at dealing with the sudden change, was helpless for a while.
“…… But...... But people really don't know what to do! She put her hands over her forehead, where she had just been struck with a knife, and said with tears in her eyes, "...... Who would have thought that the Self-Defense Forces would do such a desperate job! You can even do something like burning Tokyo! ”
-- To be honest, Prime Minister Kotori Yumo's "Self-Defense Forces rebellion" supervised and induced this time has indeed been completely resolved.
In the general impression of the post-war Japanese, the Self-Defense Forces were basically a group of contradictions that were ostensibly armed to the teeth and well-equipped, but in fact were inferior in combat effectiveness to ordinary militias. On the other hand, the soldiers of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces in the 21 st century are indeed exactly the same as ordinary workers and civil servants in terms of psychological attitudes -- lazy, comfortable, and passable. For them, the Self-Defense Forces are just a job, just a job, and they can't survive a lifetime as a temporary worker until retirement...... Therefore, loyalty is not as good as that of ordinary company employees.
As for defending the country and sacrificing for the country? I'm sorry, that's the American GI thing! It's nothing to do with me!
Isn't there a famous saying about this among the dead people in Japan? The kind of country that needs the people to die for it should perish sooner!
Therefore, although Prime Minister Kotori Yu Mahaku knew that indulging in the mutiny was playing with fire, he felt that these Ground Self-Defense Forces had already been plucked out of their minions and turned into cute things, and even if he allowed them to make trouble in Tokyo, he would not be able to make any earth-shattering events...... Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to have thought it through. …,
However, it is useless to regret the fact that the coup forces must be wiped out as soon as possible -- Chiyoda District, which is now on fire everywhere, is a concentration of various departments of the Japanese central government, and has irreplaceable symbolic significance in politics. Japan's top political, business, and financial elites are also home to it, and if there are heavy casualties, the damage is incalculable.
But really, it's not easy to get firefighters to keep doing their jobs in the midst of a hail of bullets – and it's a bit of a stretch.
In this regard, Wang Qiu suddenly had an idea and put forward a seemingly scientific suggestion.
“…… Since the fire brigade can't put out the fire with bullets, how about copying the experience of Fukushima fire fighting and using firefighting missiles and firefighting rockets to carry out a carpet bombardment? He said to Mashiro Birdie, "...... A fire in a wooden house is easier to extinguish than a graphite reactor! ”
For this suggestion, Xiaotori Yu Zhenbai's eyes lit up at first, and then his expression became a little strange, as if he was very entangled.
“…… That sounds like a good idea...... But...... It is not enough that China's missile forces have already carried out a bombing of Fukushima on Japanese soil, and will there be another bombing of Tokyo next? She smiled wryly and shrugged her shoulders, "...... Alas, there is no way, the bombing of Tokyo is the bombing of Tokyo! Contact the Chinese Aid Missile Fire Brigade at the Yokota base and ask them to prepare for launching firefighting missiles and firefighting rockets as quickly as possible, and then follow my instructions to carpet bomb all over Chiyoda City, including the Emperor's Imperial Palace! (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
