It is 10 pm on October 6, Peking time.

The General Staff is as busy as ever, but the abortion seems to be a little more tonight than the previous two days, and the lights are brighter.

In a small conference room, the Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau Song Li spread more than a dozen high-definition photos on the table.

After putting the photos, he said to Jiangdong and Xie Chengrui:

"This is a photo taken by the Sky Eye High-altitude Reconnaissance Plane in the Ryukyu Islands, Mariana Islands and other places this afternoon."

"The outline of the US fleet is clearly presented in the photos, and even basic destroyers can be seen clearly."

"More photos are being cleaned, these are the most important and most informative ones."

Jiangdong and Xie Chengrui lowered their heads and looked at the rows of photos seriously.

"So many aircraft carriers, has the US taken out all its assets this time?" Xie Chengrui sighed.

"I took out all my homes and saw 4 super aircraft carriers and 5 ordinary aircraft carriers." Song Li continued:

"The latest information, their fleet has advanced towards Japan and launched a landing war at dawn."

In front of the Sky Eye High-altitude Reconnaissance Plane, the Allied fleet had no secrets and was photographed clearly.

"Commander-in-Chief, do we need to respond? For example, let Wang Laohu take the opportunity to launch a large-scale offensive to support the Allies." Xie Chengrui said.

Jiangdong did not answer this question immediately, but asked:

"How is the situation with Wang Laohu?"

Song Li replied:

"With the cooperation of the naturalized army, the situation in the occupied areas has basically stabilized."

"A large amount of logistics supplies have also been transported to the landing ground by sea and air, and are currently capable of advancing in depth."

After listening to the report, Jiangdong pondered for a moment, then looked at Xie Chengrui and said:

"I inform Wang Laohu of the Allied forces to support the shelling or take the opportunity to launch a high-intensity attack. He will make his own decisions and notify us after making the decision."

"clear!"

Jiangdong continued to look at the photos on the table, his eyes a little deep and serious.

The strength of the Allied forces should not be underestimated. We must seize the time to develop ourselves, otherwise the conflict will be difficult to deal with.

…………

The Allied fleet of operations in decline maintained radio silence and light control, and sailed east for a distance before starting to head north after leaving the Ryukyu Islands.

The huge fleet was like a terrifying shadow on the sea, moving towards Xiantao Bay at high speed.

At midnight on October 6, Tokyo time, a small fleet escaped from the huge shadow and headed towards Tokyo Bay.

Japan's naval and air force had suffered a devastating blow, and Allied battleships even dared to sail directly to the Japanese coast to shell the coastal cities.

The only remaining aircraft and warships of the Japanese dare not attack easily because Emperor Hirohito planned to use them in more critical positions, such as protecting the capital.

Once attacking, it is easy to attract ambush from the Allied super aircraft carriers, and there is no return.

The 79th Special Mixed Fleet belongs to the Seventh Fleet.

This special mixed fleet has two ordinary aircraft carriers and nearly a hundred carrier-based aircraft.

Their mission is to go to Sagami Bay, not far from Tokyo, and then shell the Tokyo Bay and surrounding cities.

It creates an illusion for the Japanese side that the Allies are going to land from Tokyo Bay, thereby protecting the real landing point.

At four o'clock in the morning on October 6, the sky had not yet fully lighted up, and the 79th Special Mixed Fleet had arrived at Sagami Bay.

Also arriving at the same time were 300 b29 bombers from the Fifth Air Force.

The Kanto region was the focus of the defense of the First General Army of Japan. The coastal forces quickly discovered abnormalities in the sea and the sky, and sounded the battle alarm.

Major General Kenny, the commander of the Fifth Air Force, personally commanded 300 b29 bombers.

These bombers were divided into three bombing echelons, creating a sense of great momentum for the Japanese side as much as possible.

At 4:15 am, bombing and artillery bombardment of the naval fleet began at the same time.

The b29 bomber performs an ultra-low-altitude bombing mission at night, and the bomber is loaded with incendiary bombs.

"Swish swish swish swish..."

Major General Kenny had a great ideal, which was to burn Tokyo Bay with these 300 bombers.

The first thing that was lit up was Yokosuka City.

A large number of incendiary bombs fell into the city and coastal fortifications, and the fire spread rapidly, and all the world was illuminated.

"Bagaya Road, the Americans are actually here!"

General Tanaka Shizuichi, the commander of the 12th Front Army stationed in the Kanto region, gritted his teeth,

"Immediately find out the enemy's landing point and hit the head-on!"

"Hi Yi!"

"Hi Yi!"

…………

The senior officers who were waking up quickly bowed one after another, shouting and looking crazy.

The b29 bomber dropped bombs at an ultra-low altitude at night, and the incendiary bombs were still thrown away.

The generals of the 12th Japanese Front were very familiar with this air strike style. They were like General Shizuichi Tanaka, and they gritted their teeth and spit out two words:

"Li Mei!"

After Li Mei fell from the European battlefield to the Pacific War Zone, combined with the characteristics of Japan's weak air defense firepower and the b29 bomber, she developed a tactic of night ultra-low-altitude combustion bomb bombing.

He even let all the b29 bombers unload the defense machine guns just to load more incendiary bombs.

Because Li Mei found through research that Japan's air defense firepower is extremely thin.

After losing the radar warning, Japan's air defense force at night was almost blank.

Ultra-low altitude flight can increase the accuracy of bomb drops.

Under such tactical arrangements, the fifth, twenty and twenty-first air force continued to attack, and incendiary bombs had become a nightmare for Japanese soldiers and the people.

Therefore, when the ultra-low-altitude b29 bomber and the sea surface fleet appeared at the same time, General Tanaka Shizuichi, commander of the 12th Front of Japan, instinctively judged that the enemy was about to land from the Kanto area.

The 12th Japanese Front had been preparing for this day for a long time. When they heard that the enemy was about to land, they did not show fear or fear, but instead became unprecedentedly fanatical and restless.

US fighter jets lifted from the aircraft carrier began to attack Japan's coastal cities.

The 79th battleships such as the Californian fleet continued to shell out the Japanese coastal fortifications, and the main gun and the secondary gun fired at the same time, which was very powerful.

The news soon reached Tokyo, and reached the First General Army Headquarters and Base Camp.

Sugiyama Moto and Emperor Hirohito rushed into the base camp. The former looked calm and calm, while the latter had worries and panic in their eyes.

They could not see the situation at sea and could only learn about it through the reports of frontline officers.

Judging from the report of the 12th Front, the enemy is really going to land in the Kanto region.

It was not dawn yet, and my eyes were in darkness.

Sugiyama Moto believes that the current bombing and artillery fire are just preparations for artillery fire before the US military lands.

The time for artillery preparation may last two or three hours.

After all, the Allies are rich and powerful, so they are not stingy with ammunition at all.

At 5 a.m. Tokyo time, the sky began to gradually brighten, and the sea and air situation gradually became clear.

"My dear, do you want to send the rear troops to the coast to support?"

Emperor Hirohito couldn't sit still and asked Sugiyama Soto.

He did not want to see the defeats of Kitakyushu and Xiaguan repeat in the Kanto region.

Sugiyama Moto comforted the Emperor for a moment, and then asked his chief of staff, Lieutenant General Sudo Einosuke:

"Did you see clearly how many planes and warships are there?"

Lieutenant General Sutengosuke replied:

"The frontline troops reported that nearly a thousand aircraft, hundreds of warships, and at least two aircraft carriers appeared within the field of view."

Sugiyama's brows began to frown.

The Allies are strong, and if they really want to launch a landing war, it is impossible to only invest such a little sea and air force.

5:30, Marshal Seishiro Itagaki of the Second General Army came with a message:

Nakaxia landing troops began to shell Yamaguchi and Fukuoka Prefecture, and there seemed to be signs of a large-scale advance inland.

After receiving this news, Marshal Sugiyama and Lieutenant General Sudo Einosuke confirmed that the Allies would indeed launch a landing war today.

Zhongxia will not bombard for no reason, it must be some kind of support action.

It was confirmed that the Allies were going to land today, but Sugiyama was not sure about the specific landing point of the Allies.
