On the way back, the B29 strategic bomber, which was on a secret mission, had already flown over Japan.

Inside the Royal Palace. Emperor Hirohito asked proudly, "How many kilometers did the Southern Army advance the front today?" Hideki Tojo immediately told him respectfully: "Your Majesty the Emperor, today General Terauchi Shouichi's Southern Army has captured and advanced the battle line to the area of Java Island, and the 56th Division of the 16th Army has captured Borneo, and the oil problem that plagues the Japanese Empire will no longer be a problem." ”

Emperor Hirohito smiled with satisfaction: "Then the next step is to completely seize Burma." Emperor Hirohito smiled: "Oh? This uncle of mine went to war again after recovering from his illness? Hideki Tojo nodded and said, "Hi Yi! At present, the performance of Lieutenant General Minoru of Higashikure Palace is very impressive, and he has successfully entered the territory of Thailand. ”

Emperor Hirohito nodded: "Very good, the imperial army fought bravely, worthy of being the most loyal army of the empire, and at present, it seems that the southern battle route has been proved correct, and the previous plan to seize Siberia is really too wishful thinking." Hideki Tojo: "Hi Yi, even if our army captures Siberia, the local natural environment is extremely harsh, and the cost of resource extraction is extremely high. Unlike Southeast Asia, the oil fields of Borneo, rubber from Indonesia, and steel from Vietnam are all cheaper to exploit and are more suitable for large-scale use by the empire. ”

At this time, Emperor Hirohito frowned again, and a hint of gloom flashed between his eyebrows: "But will the British and Americans watch our victory so blindly?" Hideki Tojo said respectfully: "Naturally not, but Your Majesty the Emperor, under the leadership of General Nagumo Tadaichi, the Imperial Navy has completely destroyed Pearl Harbor, the most important support point of the US Navy in the Pacific, not only sinking most of the US warships, but also destroying its docks, heavy oil depots and other important facilities. The Americans were powerless to fight back for a short time. ”

Emperor Hirohito: "But as far as I know, when Pearl Harbor was bombed, the U.S. aircraft carrier group was cruising the open sea, and we couldn't destroy it. Hideki Tojo said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, don't worry, our army has ten aircraft carriers in the Pacific, while the U.S. military has only seven, and we have an advantage." Emperor Hirohito breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine." ”……

While the two war careerists were chatting hotly, they didn't know that in the sky of Tokyo, a mysterious visitor was whizzing at a speed of 450 kmh. Because Japan is an island country isolated in the ocean, the range of ordinary bombers cannot reach Japan at all, and Korea and Northeast China, which are relatively close to Japan, have been firmly occupied by the Japanese army, so unless they take off with the help of aircraft carriers, which are sea take-off and landing platforms, ordinary bombers cannot threaten the Japanese mainland at all.

Therefore, in the hearts of all Japanese and even Japanese soldiers, the Japanese mainland is absolutely safe at this moment. So, when the B29 piloted by Liu Guanghua flew over the city, the Japanese below thought it was a new Japanese-made aircraft, so they cheered and waved their hands, shouting the greatness of the empire, and they were extremely excited. In the past few days, the Japanese in this city have been completely carried away by the news of Lian Zhan's success, and each one is more excited and ecstatic than the other, and many people have even lost their minds.

Liu Guanghua said: "Arrived at the target and prepared for bombing operations. "The nose of the plane, the position of the transparent hatch, the bombardier through the high-precision Norton MK15 Norton sight, has seen the densely populated Tokyo urban area, there are bustling people, crowded streets, and trams that pass through, but due to the lack of oil in Japan, the number of cars is very small, only some dignitaries can drive.

The bombardier's name is Xu Hui. At this moment, he was staring at the city below, his sharp eyes with a hint of memory, and some nostalgia for the past in his heart. Three years ago, Xu Hui's hometown suffered a disaster, the invading Japanese army under the command of Terauchi Shouichi brazenly killed, and in the face of the murderous Japanese army wherever they went, the Hunan army sent to garrison the local area could be said to fight to the death, causing huge casualties to the Japanese army.

Xu Hui volunteered to join the volunteer logistics team to deliver steamed buns to the soldiers of the Hunan army. The soldiers of the Hunan army used very backward weapons, but they laughed one by one, patted Xu Hui's head, and told him to lower his head and pick up a flat burden, so as not to be killed by a bullet from the little devil. Xu Hui once worriedly asked a Hunan soldier how long they could hold here.

The Hunan soldier raised his eyes, smoked a cigarette, and said You are a melon-like doll, Xiao Dongyang is not a fairy, our Sichuan army grandfather can beat this group of Hapier home! But one night, the Japanese army, exhausted by patience, used terrible poison gas bombs.

The next morning, when Xu Hui went to deliver steamed buns again, he saw a whole battalion of Hunan soldiers dying on the battlefield in vain, and the throat of the Hunan soldier who spoke to him was broken, the blood vessels were exposed, and the blood flowed all over his body, which simply scared him out of his soul......

"I've come to avenge you." Xu Hui said silently through gritted teeth. The huge B29 is cruising at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, and at this altitude, the Japanese army has no fighter jets or anti-aircraft guns that can threaten its existence, so even if the B29 flies over the city so brightly, it is still absolutely safe.

Liu Guanghua said: "Start dropping bombs, spaced farther away, this is not carpet bombing, to spread cholera and plague as much as possible, we must evenly spread the bombs at a long distance." Xu Hui has practiced many times, take it easy and calm down and throw bombs. Xu Hui nodded: "Understood." ”

The bomb bay in the belly of the B29 slowly opened, and then a dark green Type 50 Uji aerial bomb was exposed to the cold high-air current, and the shells of these ceramic bombs were filled with 'heartfelt blessings' from Huaxia. One of the aerial bombs also had the words "Little Hirohito, uncle, please eat well!" Jiang Qiang also personally wrote on an aerial bomb: "I wish the mongrels a full body of bones!" ”

Xu Hui immediately began to drop the bomb, and after the pylons were opened, the first dark green Type 50 Uji aerial bomb immediately roared down and fell to the ground under the pull of the earth's gravity. This is an aerial bomb loaded with a cholera warhead, and the cholera virus spreads very easily in the water, so Xu Hui deliberately aimed at the big river, hoping to give full play to its power.

The name of this large river is the Edogawa River. Under the curious eyes of the Japanese, dark green Type 50 Uji aerial bombs roared and fell to the earth. "It's an air raid! It's an air raid! The shouts of terror spread through the streets and alleys for a while, and the crowd immediately ran like crazy.

However, instead of causing a massive explosion that shook the ground, or causing a wall of demonic flames to rise into the sky, or creating a shockwave of incredible speed, as its 'counterparts' did, these aerial bombs gently fell to the ground and then shattered softly. Other than that, there was no other sound.

The people who were frantically fleeing for their lives were taken aback, and at first they thought they were stink bombs, but when they found that there was no explosion, they realized that these bombs were test bombs, so they patted their chests and breathed a sigh of relief. And a Japanese military policeman who was still holding his head just now immediately stared at him: "Baga! Damn the army aviation dared to test the missile impact point over the imperial capital? Are they crazy! You have to commit suicide by caesarean section! ”

A Japanese Army Air Force Commander got out of a car and stared at the heavy bomber at an altitude of 10,000 meters, looking puzzled. "How could the Imperial Army ever be equipped with such a model? Could it be the secret weapon of the Navy red deer? "All in all, the city visited by B29 has fallen into a strange atmosphere. But soon, an even stranger scene happened.

The Japanese gendarmerie and the local police have yet to figure out what is really going on today from the cumbersome hierarchical system; And the Japanese military department has not yet had time to confirm whether it is the army aviation or the naval aviation that made the oolong; Xu Hui carefully aimed and threw the twenty Type 50 Uji aerial bombs that had already fallen to the ground, and then began to spread the bacillus......

And quickly. The bacteria that Shiro Ishii had carefully cultivated began to spread, lifting stones and throwing them at their own feet.

Edogawa. Many people used domestic water, and when they were walking on the road, they suddenly vomited, dizzy, and didn't know what was going on, and then they felt a lot of pain in their stomachs, and quickly rushed into the toilet, only to find that their feces were in the same state as washing rice...... The number of people with the same symptoms is still increasing, and their symptoms are also deepening, vomiting and diarrhea, and then emaciating, the sunken eye sockets can almost make the eyeballs bulge, the skin of the whole body is wrinkled, the whole body is cold, they are shivering all over the body, but it is actually muscle spasms and convulsions!

Then came mass death! Cholera and plague were caught off guard, spreading outward along the Edogawa River, and with the increasing number of close contacts, the number of infected people was also rapidly spreading, and the number of deaths was also rapidly rising!

It was only at this time that the fire department discovered that something was wrong, and after confirming the shells of the ceramic bombs produced by the slight explosions, coupled with a detailed comparison with the archives, it was finally confirmed that these aerial bombs were Type 50 Uji aerial bombs manufactured by the Kwantung Army itself! And it's filled with cholera and plague bacilli! Finished! This is the imperial capital!

The Emperor's Imperial Palace is here, right on the edge of the Edogawa River! I don't know how many Japanese people were scared half to death, and when the news of the spread of the cholera and plague virus arrived, Emperor Hirohito, an old boy, was still drinking tea in the palace.

As a result, a bad voice came, and Emperor Hirohito frowned and looked over, how dare he lose his honor in front of the palace like this, could it be that the sky has fallen? The secretary of state was so frightened that he didn't have time to explain, and seeing that Hirohito was about to drink water, he hurriedly shouted that the water was poisonous. Emperor Hirohito was frightened and half dead, and the teacup in his hand fell directly in response to the sound and smashed to pieces!

Emperor Hirohito was furious: "Who! Who dares to assassinate me! The Secretary of State hurriedly said the latest report from the Fire Department, that two terrible viruses and bacteria, cholera and plague, had suddenly appeared in the city, and they were spreading everywhere with the Edo River as the main axis, and the number of dead and wounded had begun to rise, and the palace was probably not safe! Emperor Hirohito frowned: "Virus? Where did it come from? ”

At this time, Hideki Tojo trotted in all the way, and then bowed in great trepidation: "Your Majesty the Emperor! The sinner is incompetent, and he will not be able to escape the blame for his death! The imperial capital suffered a secret sneak attack! A large enemy plane flew over the imperial capital, and then dropped twenty biological and chemical weapons bombs, and the plague is spreading rapidly! ”

Emperor Hirohito's pupils shrank slightly: "You mean, the imperial capital was hit by an air raid?" Hideki Tojo fell to his knees: "Hi Yi! Emperor Hirohito took a few deep breaths to remain as calm as possible: "Where did the air raid come from?" America? ”

Hideki Tojo shook his head, the expression on his face became even more panicked, he took out a stack of photos, handed them over with respectful hands, and then continued to explain carefully. "We found the ceramic casings of these bio-chemical bombs, which, according to the checks, were Type 50 Uji bombs manufactured by the Kwantung Army. And these bombs have Chinese characters written on them...... So we speculate that this air raid may have come from the Chinese ......"

Emperor Hirohito looked at these photos with a strong anger, and saw a photo with white Chinese characters on the ceramic shell - "Little Hirohito, uncle, please eat well!" "Emperor Hirohito's temper couldn't bear it anymore, and he angrily scattered the photos all over the ground, spitting wildly." Yaga! Didn't you promise me again and again that you would be able to maintain absolute security in your homeland? Didn't you swear that the air force of the Huaxia people had been completely destroyed by you! Where did they come from the bombing power! And where did these bombs made by the Kwantung Army come from! They actually let them threaten the safety of the imperial capital, what crime should you be guilty of! ”

Hideki Tojo pressed his head to the ground deeply: "The sinner is to blame!" But now, Your Majesty the Emperor, we must deal with it! The plague in the imperial capital is burning the prairies, and the number of infected deaths and injuries has exceeded 3,000! The criminal must ensure the absolute safety of His Majesty the Emperor! ”

Emperor Hirohito's face also flashed a few uneasy looks, and he hurriedly ordered: "Immediately seal the palace!" "However, the palace is easy to seal, the imperial capital is difficult to lock, more and more people are infected, and there are no good isolation conditions, cholera can at least alleviate the speed of infection by transferring water from outside the city, the plague is really over, and the initial waste of response time has caused the entire city to begin to rise sharply in the number of infected people!

I don't know how many people of Toei depend on the river Edogawa to live, and now, the Edogawa River has become a river of death, more and more people are dying, more and more corpses are piled up by the river for cremation, and the smoke is billowing and very bleak. At this moment, Shiro Ishii, who has been reduced to a human being and doesn't know which dung pit he is not dead in, probably never dreamed that the biochemical weapons he had devoted himself to developing had already lifted stones and shot himself in the foot, and how many of his own people were killed in the extremely densely populated imperial capital......

In the face of the sudden blow and the ever-increasing number of casualties, the frenzy of the Japanese because their own troops swept through Southeast Asia was poured into a basin of cold ice water, and the enthusiasm for defeating the 'United States' was lost for a while, and the high-spirited bird-like appearance was replaced by cowering.

That's right, although the Japanese army on the front line is sweeping through Southeast Asia like a bamboo, and even the British and American troops can't stop it, but now that there is a fire in the courtyard, even Emperor Hirohito's bedroom has been affected, and the entire imperial capital has faintly become a ghost town where the Black Death spread in Europe in the last century, which is a great shame!

What made them even more humiliated was that this attack did not come from the powerful United States, but from China, which was defeated by them on the frontal battlefield! Damn it! The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately lodged a solemn protest, condemning the use of extremely inhumane assault weapons by Huaxia in the war, causing a large number of innocent casualties.

On the other side of Chongqing, they were stunned and confused, not knowing what kind of demons the good Japanese were doing. However, Jiang Qiang replied directly: "This batch of aerial bombs is the property of the Japanese Kwantung Army, and we just returned the property as it was." By the way, Jiang Qiang publicized the video materials and photo evidence of Unit 731 again, so that the Japanese suffered a dumb loss, and they were powerless to refute it!

Emperor Hirohito was furious and ordered a fierce revenge and a tenfold return! But Jiang Qiang once again expressed his stance through the news media. "Once the Japanese side dares to retaliate, coincidentally, I still have a batch of Type 50 Uji aerial bombs, a batch of high-performance incendiary shells, and strategic bombers whose altitude and speed make it impossible for the Japanese army to intercept."

"So, no matter where the Japanese army retaliates in China, I will only bomb Hirohito's Imperial Palace, if the Japanese want to see the Imperial Palace and the whole of Toei reduced to a ghostly death site, then please just let it go, I can guarantee that within a month, Emperor Hirohito will be a roast suckling pig stained with plague bacillus!"

Emperor Hirohito was furious, but he really didn't dare to give it a try. Because the military department told him that Jiang Qiang, the damn guy, was not exaggerating, that damn strategic bomber flew at an altitude of at least more than 10,000 meters, and the range was far beyond all the planes of all the air forces of the army and navy, and also beyond the interception altitude of all anti-aircraft guns, and they had no way to take that bomber that drove straight in!

Emperor Hirohito can indeed retaliate back, but Jiang Qiang's guy can also retaliate back, and no matter how to retaliate, he only retaliates against Emperor Hirohito alone! Don't look at those hypocritical ministers shouting "Long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty" all day long, but Emperor Hirohito himself knows that he is a human being, not a god, and those terrible plague bacilli, cholera virus, incendiary shells, and high-explosive bombs will easily kill him!

I had to break my teeth and swallow it in my stomach! Emperor Hirohito secretly swore that when he conquered Southeast Asia and obtained enough oil and steel resources, he would definitely reconquer Shandong, and he would torture Jiang Qiang, a damn guy, to death! But this old boy didn't know that Jiang Qiang would not wait for him to come to the door in vain.

Now that the Japanese army has successfully launched the southern operation, the strategic focus has shifted to the Pacific Ocean, and at this time, no matter how it sets off the storm, the Japanese army has no time to bring back its forces from Southeast Asia, and this is the real strategic opportunity!

Command of the North China Front. Okamura Ninji was also carefully studying the battle map in front of him. Prior to this, he had already received a telegram from General Shunroku Hata, and Okamura Ninji did not dare to slack off on this general who had participated in the Russo-Japanese War and served as the director of education of the Japanese Army.

Moreover, Okamura Ninji originally felt that Wei Ping's offensive was murderous, so he naturally observed it with great care, and when the judgment of General Shunroku Hata was delivered, Okamura Ninji almost instinctively thought that Shunroku Hata's idea was correct.

However, he still couldn't figure out how to deal with the terrible firepower attack that might come to the Japanese fleet on the sea, even if Jiang Qiang successfully captured Lianyungang. You must know that naval artillery fire strikes and ordinary artillery strikes are not the same level of things, naval guns are born with huge calibers, and with the assistance of automatic loaders, the rate of fire far exceeds that of the army's artillery, and a salvo at the same time can instantly turn an area into a churning sea of fire.

No matter how strong Jiang Qiang's land combat strength is, he can not do anything in the face of almost unsolvable naval artillery strikes! Of course, Jiang Qiang has a large number of extremely ferocious heavy bombers in his hands, and he may be able to bomb the sea. But the premise of this is that Jiang Qiang can accurately discover the position of the fleet, after all, his plane can only depart from Qingdao, and wait until the bomber group flies over the sea to carry out and bomb according to the coordinates calculated by the fixed trajectory, and the fleet that can maneuver quickly has long been gone!

Okamura Ningji pondered for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what way Jiang Qiang could restrain the blow of the fleet firepower from the sea. Moreover, Jiang Qiang has not yet been able to take Lianyungang, the number of Japanese defenders in the direction of Lianyungang is as high as a fully equipped division, and it is the most elite 6th division in the combat sequence of the Imperial Army.

Okamura Ninji knew about the 6th Division, after all, the division once belonged to the commander of his North China Front, and it was seconded because the Central China Dispatch Army was severely injured by Wei Ping to make up for the dilemma of insufficient troops. Compared with a number of divisions that had been defeated by Jiang Qiang, the 6th Division can be described as a strong army, the division once played a huge role in the Battle of Guangdong and the Battle of Wuhan, and was regarded by the Chinese army on the frontal battlefield as one of the invincible opponents, and everywhere it went.

Even if the 6th Division may be at a disadvantage in terms of firepower in the face of Jiang Qiang, its combat effectiveness is still real, and it is definitely not the kind of fish belly trip of the 106th Division. If combined with the reinforcement of the sea firepower, then the firepower of the 6th Division is not inferior to that of the Shandong Group Army.

Okamura Ningji looked at the map, no matter what he thought, he thought that Jiang Qiang's strategic deployment was really a bit whimsical. However, in line with the principle of leniency for the enemy, Okamura Ninji still made a series of deployments. Under his orders, the Japanese 4th Division and the 16th Division were to be deployed to the Zaozhuang area to form a strong deterrent to Xuzhou.

At the same time, the 110th Division and the 115th Division were deployed to the Linyi area, and once Jiang Qiang waved his army to Lianyungang, then these two divisions could effectively threaten its logistics supply lines. At the same time, the 10th Independent Infantry Brigade, the 14th Independent Infantry Brigade and the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade will serve as strategic reserves, acting as firefighters and rushing to the aid of possible areas and directions where fighters may be present at any time.

On the whole, the entire North China Front will mobilize more than 100,000 troops from the north to form a powerful deterrent force and be ready to launch a fierce attack on Jiang Qiang on all fronts at any time. Under such a deployment, how could Jiang Qiang successfully capture Lianyungang, and how could he use Lianyungang as a springboard to continue to wave his troops south?

It's a dead end! …… At the same time, Lianyungang, Donghai County. Two special operations detachments of the Snow Leopard Special Forces have quietly infiltrated here. Unlike in the past, this time, the Snow Leopard special forces infiltrated here by helicopter through the Japanese defense line, the helicopter flew at night, crossed the emptiness of the Japanese defense area, and then landed vertically on the agreed coordinate point, laid down the soldiers, and then returned again.

The Snow Leopard Special Operations Force infiltrated overnight, traveled lightly, and quietly crossed two roads along the way, during which they also avoided the four devils' turrets and rushed towards the destination. Along the way, the Snow Leopard special combat team members found that the Japanese army was really scared, and several circles of trenches were dug around the turrets, and the sentries did not dare to sleep at all, and searchlights were shooting everywhere, which was simply 100,000 points of vigilance.

It is no wonder that these devils are so vigilant, after all, the hateful New Fourth Army guerrillas are really hateful to them, God knows where these mud-legged people got so many anti-aircraft machine guns and rocket launchers, and a lot of captured Japanese Type 92 infantry guns.

These weapons are all good at dealing with turrets, and I don't know how many brick and wood turrets have been torn up in a year, and how many devil soldiers who have been careless and underestimate the enemy have been killed, which makes them want to cry without tears.

As a last resort, the devils had no choice but to build the turret more solidly and change the brick and wood structure to a reinforced concrete structure, but Japan was born with poor resources and had to cope with the southern war, so there was a serious lack of sufficient reinforced concrete, and only a small number of turrets could be used, and the remaining turrets were still brick and stone structures, and the walls could only be doubled at most, hoping to block the strafing of anti-aircraft machine guns.

And even if these devils were so vigilant, it was impossible for the Japanese army to see the Snow Leopard special forces quietly crossing their blockade line at night. The equipment of the Snow Leopard Special Forces is simply luxurious, everyone is equipped with a night vision device, and even the advanced assault rifle has a low-light sight, combined with the Snow Leopard friend or foe identification armband, it is directly one-way transparent to the Japanese army at night, not to mention those special camouflage combat uniforms with excellent camouflage effect, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are ghosts.

In a day and night, the Snow Leopard Special Forces had already passed through the seemingly tight blockade area of the Japanese army and arrived at the agreed place, which was a small valley floor hidden between two high slopes, with a small pond on the side, overgrown with weeds, very secretive. Lei Dongzi ordered to wait on the spot, and the special forces quickly and instinctively seized the advantageous terrain, forming cross-fire angles between the various fire teams, and the sniper teams were scattered to various commanding heights to hide and establish sniper positions, and the assault teams cooperated with each other and waited for combat orders.
