The emperor shouted the slogan that the whole country is shattered, which is not good news for the Japanese military and political officials. They are different from ordinary fanatical people. They are more aware of the situation in front of them. The Sino-US allied forces are unstoppable. In the past, they thought that they would fight to the death.
Fighting can bring China and the United States to retreat and end the war with dignity, but now they are all awake. There are only two ways in front of them, either to destroy them all, or to surrender unconditionally.
As the saying goes, the only solution to hardships is death. These powerful figures are even more afraid of death. Some of them are secretly plotting whether they have participated in any evil deeds to see if they can save their lives, as long as there is still a little hope of living.
, these people don’t want to be broken into pieces like this.
There are many fanatical supporters of the emperor, but most of these military generals were captured and killed. Now that the number of civil servants in Tokyo once again has an advantage, these people are obviously more flexible. So after Hirohito made a bold statement, these Japanese officials
The response was not enthusiastic.
Prime Minister Koiso Kuniaki had no choice but to bite the bullet and express his determination to Hirohito, vowing to defend His Majesty the Emperor to the death. While they were meeting, the Chinese and American Allied Forces also launched an offensive against Tokyo. The sea, land and air forces attacked from the east, west and south.
surrounded Tokyo.
In Tokyo Bay, there are more than 200 cruisers and destroyers gathered. These warships take full advantage of the firepower of naval guns and continuously send huge shells to Tokyo city. In addition, there are more than ten aircraft carriers and hundreds of warships in the periphery.
Carrier planes were dispatched together, and these planes blocked the sky and the sun, like a dark cloud, pressing down on Tokyo.
The battle on land was even more intense. China and the United States concentrated a total of more than 20,000 artillery pieces, and more than 3,000 tanks and armored vehicles of various types. There were also tens of thousands of shore-based aircraft participating in the attack.
The fierce firepower ruthlessly destroyed everything in Tokyo. Under the three-dimensional attack by sea, land and air, the entire city of Tokyo seemed to be sitting on the crater of a volcano, and the situation became increasingly dangerous.
Koiso Kuniaki personally served as the commander-in-chief of the city defense, mobilized the remaining troops under his command, and resisted desperately. These Japanese soldiers were already the last elite of the Japanese army. They were brave and crazy, especially these people who knew that they had no way out.
It's Tokyo. Behind it is the emperor. As long as we take a step back, Japan will be completely finished, so these people all fight for their lives.
The battle was extremely bloody from the beginning. The Allies not only had to deal with the Japanese army, but also the endless militias. The Japanese in Tokyo were obviously more crazy than other areas. The Allies were well prepared for the crazy resistance of the Japanese.
, in addition to adequate firepower preparations, the Allied High Command also issued an order requiring soldiers to immediately kill any living creature that enters the battlefield. There is no distinction between soldiers and civilians in Tokyo. No Japanese should be spared.
.
After this kind of order is issued, it actually means the beginning of a massacre, and it is an indiscriminate massacre. The Japanese hope to change their destiny through aggression, but at the same time they have to bear the consequences of the invasion. Under the fierce attack of the Allies
Under the attack, a large number of Japanese people were shot to death, and corpses were scattered everywhere.
Koiso Kuniaki, who was in charge of the command, received all kinds of unfavorable news every moment. The Allied forwards broke through the outer positions. The frontline commander was killed, supplies were in short supply and other bad situations constantly impacted his nerves.
Now Koiso Kuniaki finally understands what it means to be unable to recover. Not only him. Even Emperor Hirohito was unprecedentedly nervous and could not sleep all night. Hirohito had already moved out of the palace in Nijubashi and hid in a secret basement, more than ten meters away.
The thick concrete ensures that he is not affected by the bomb explosion.
But this obviously does not make Hirohito feel safe. Once the city is broken, he will be captured and become the first captured emperor in Japanese history. Thinking of this, Hirohito felt a wave of panic. He even asked someone to take his place.
He prepared a small bottle of cyanide. As soon as the Allied forces captured Tokyo, he would swallow it. Even if he died, he would not fall into the hands of the Allied forces and be pulled out for display like a clown.
The Allied attack entered its seventh day, and more than 200,000 Japanese troops were completely wiped out. Among the Allied forces, the fastest progress was made by the Third Army of the Chinese National Defense Forces. This was also one of the old units that Qiao Yu started, and has now been destroyed.
It is organized into a mechanized army, equipped with a large number of cutting-edge tanks, which can exert relatively strong defensive capabilities in street battles, and most of the subsequent reinforcements of this army will come from the Liaodong area.
This was originally an area managed by the Japanese Kwantung Army. The people had an unforgettable hatred for the Japanese. Especially after the cruel Lushun Massacre was widely publicized, the blood feud made these soldiers hate Japan like never before. It was because of their strong request.
, the mission of attacking Tokyo fell on them.
The urban area of Tokyo had long been turned into rubble by large-scale bombings, and these rubbles had become the best place for Japanese soldiers and Chinese soldiers to play hide-and-seek. They resisted desperately, and the two sides fell into an unprecedented bitter battle.
The war situation became more and more unfavorable. Emperor Hirohito was unprecedentedly agitated in the basement. Due to the Allied bombing, most of the communications in Tokyo were destroyed. It was difficult for Hirohito to get news from the outside world in time. He could only hear the violent explosions.
Every sound was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart, making him terrified.
"Your Majesty, the enemy's artillery fire is getting closer and closer. I think that Tokyo cannot be defended. Please pay attention to your Majesty. You can't just sit back and wait for death!" Queen Liangzi had to speak, and she also felt that the situation was not good.
wonderful.
Hirohito couldn't help but think about it. There was no news at all from Prime Minister Koiso Kuniaki. They seemed to have forgotten about him as the emperor. These rebellious ministers were simply to be killed. Thinking of this, he made people take responsibility for him.
Ishihara Kanji, who was safe, called in. Due to his arrogant personality, Ishihara Kanji was not reused in the Japanese military. However, as a large number of generals were either killed or captured, Japan no longer had many available people.
, so Ishihara Kanji was once again entrusted with the important task of protecting the emperor's safety.
During this period of time, Ishihara Kanji has worked hard and Hirohito has great trust in him.
"Ishihara Aiyou, there has been no news from Prime Minister Koiso for a long time. I always feel something is not good about how far the occupation has developed."
"Your Majesty, I don't know the situation outside, but one thing is certain. The Chinese army has rushed into Tokyo. Now our guard troops are in danger of being divided. It will be difficult for Tokyo to survive!"
When Hirohito heard this, the color on his face changed again and again, and finally he sighed: "My dear, I know you are resourceful, but what can you do? I don't want to be the king of this subjugated country!"
There was endless desolation in Hirohito's tone, and Ishihara immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly: "Your Majesty, I have long said that besieging Tokyo is not a good idea, but it is a pity that the Prime Minister did not listen. And I thought that even the Prime Minister
If we want to co-exist and die with Tokyo, we should first let His Majesty withdraw from Tokyo. Without the Prime Minister, the worst we can do is choose another one. If His Majesty makes a single mistake, Japan will really perish!"
What Ishihara Wanji said struck a chord in Hirohito's heart. He was also regretting it. If he could escape from Tokyo earlier, he might still have a chance of survival. The Queen Ryoko on the side also thought the same.
"Your Majesty, Ai Qing Ishihara truly cares about Your Majesty. Koiso Kuniaki is harming the country!"
Hirohito nodded and asked Ishihara: "Ai Qing, do you think there is anything we can do now?"
"Your Majesty, I think there is still a glimmer of hope. You should evacuate Tokyo first. Even if the war situation is really irreversible, you can still take a submarine and leave Japan secretly. South America and other places are good hiding places. In short, you cannot sit still and wait for death."
While he was talking, the sound of gunfire outside became more violent. Hirohito finally made up his mind that he could not wait to die in Tokyo City and must leave here. Hirohito handed over the task of escaping to Ishihara, and Ishihara Wanji immediately came forward.
Go get ready.
Just as night fell, Hirohito, Ryoko, and their children all dressed up as ordinary soldiers. Under the protection of Ishihara Wanji, they quietly left the basement where they were hiding and fled to the north of Tokyo.
Less than half an hour after they left, Koiso Kuniaki came over with some defeated soldiers. Koiso Kuniaki believed that the war situation was irreversible, and if the sacred emperor was captured by the Allies, the whole of Japan would be destroyed.
He was humiliated, so Koiso Kuniaki hoped to persuade Hirohito to commit suicide and die for his country.
Unexpectedly, after arriving in this basement, Hirohito's family disappeared, which immediately frightened Koiso Kuniaki. The people who followed Koiso Kuniaki were Japan's most die-hard and fanatical senior military officers. The emperor was extremely important to them.
Now it suddenly disappears, how can we not make these people crazy!
However, at this time, the war was in chaos, the Allied troops were pouring into Tokyo, the Japanese army had been cut off, and they could not find the whereabouts of the emperor at all. Several officers even wanted to have a caesarean section to apologize when they saw that the emperor was missing!
Just when they were in chaos, Hirohito and his family had sneaked out of Tokyo. At this moment, a group of Japanese soldiers suddenly appeared. It was Okamura Neji who came. Ishihara Wanji briefly said a few words to him.
Then, Neji Okamura also joined the ranks of protecting Hirohito.
Their journey was surprisingly smooth and they didn't encounter too much trouble. As long as they broke through the Chinese army's outer blockade, they would be able to escape from danger. Hirohito's spirit also relaxed a lot, but he soon felt something abnormal.
, his car had changed its direction, instead of escaping north, it had turned westward. Just when Hirohito wanted to ask what was going on, the car stopped suddenly, the door was opened, and several shots were fired.
The muzzle of the black hole was pointed at him!
Only then did Hirohito notice that a large number of soldiers wearing camouflage suddenly appeared outside. Their faces were painted with oil paint, and they held submachine guns in their hands. Each of them looked stern, as if they were soldiers descending from heaven. On the side, Ishihara Wan'er
He and Okamura Neji both stood with their hands down, their heads lowered, saying nothing. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.
