Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The flames of exploding artillery shells reflected the night sky in the suburbs of Tokyo. There were flames and violent explosions everywhere. Over the past twenty days, the offensive of the independent division troops stopped at dusk. A pattern had been formed, and the Japanese soldiers also  It has become a habit, the night is safe and there will be no war.

    But tonight, everything changed. After an hour-long fierce bombardment, the tanks of the Independent Division covered the infantry and attacked fiercely. The Japanese army, which lacked deep artillery fire and anti-tank weapons, could not withstand such a large-scale armored force.  With the torrent, the battle instantly reached the level of hand-to-hand combat.

    Japanese positions in all directions were trembling and crumbling under such a fierce attack. They were about to collapse at any time. The second line of defense in the Tokyo Defense Circle was in emergency. Emergency calls from Japanese commanders in various places kept calling the Home Defense Headquarters.  In the headquarters, the phone in the war room was ringing like a noisy market, and the staff members were shouting in panic.

    Prince Zai Ren's face was ashen. He looked at the red phone on the table. He stretched out his hand several times and retracted it. He hesitated, always feeling that it was not the last moment. Once the call was made, his brother the emperor would be there.  A top-secret plan to escape to the South American continent was launched. This was a last resort and should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

    "Chief of Staff Yamaguchi!" After thinking for a long time, Zai Ren shouted outside.

    Lieutenant General Yamaguchi, Chief of Staff of the Homeland Defense Headquarters, responded, "Chief of Staff Yamaguchi, convey my order. The four divisions of the Ninth Army are rushing to support several critical directions!"

    Under nightfall, more than 80,000 people from four divisions of the Japanese Ninth Army hurriedly left their base in downtown Tokyo.  Reinforcements were sent in four directions, perhaps because of the arrival of Japanese reinforcements.  The offensive momentum of the independent division troops was contained.  And under the tenacious counterattack of the Japanese army, there was a tendency to gradually retreat.

    After receiving the report, Zai Ren breathed a sigh of relief temporarily, but he was even more unsure. Currently, there are only a few hundred thousand imperial garrison troops left in Tokyo. In such a huge city, there are only a few hundred thousand people.  .  It was far from enough. He already had a plan. After repelling the night attack of the China Independent Division, the Ninth Army would move back to the city anyway and pull up the newly formed divisions.

    The Yoyogi Uehara line in northwest Tokyo is the defense area of ??the 109th Division and the 57th Regiment of the Japanese Army. It is a secondary defense direction. The troops equipped are in addition to a regular brigade of the 57th Regiment.  outside.  The remaining three brigades were all recruits composed of citizens who had picked up a gun for less than a few days. There was no way, the battlefield was too consumed.  The 57th Regiment, originally the first-class field regiment, also added three-quarters of its recruits.

    The fierce artillery fire from the independent division troops took place within an hour.  Then the position of the 57th Regiment was blown to pieces.  The regular brigade was okay, its position was intact.  The other three recruit brigades were in chaos. Seeing their companions' bodies turned into pieces of meat flying in the sky after an explosion, the recruits immediately collapsed and lay in the trench holding their heads, listening to the analysis.  Countless explosions were heard, left to fate.

    In the light of the explosion of artillery shells, a Japanese army of about a thousand people appeared in front of the fourth battalion of the 57th Regiment. Judging from the tactical movements of the soldiers, they were definitely some on the battlefield.  The veterans who were beaten out jumped quickly and rolled a few times to catch the impact of the shells, and then hid in the trenches. They looked at the Japanese recruits with grinning faces.

    The Japanese recruits holding their heads were stunned from ear to ear at the sudden appearance of the people around them. As soon as they asked a question, they were scolded with "Baga!"  A communications soldier carrying a radio made a gesture, and a few minutes later, ferocious artillery fire rumbled in depth. Then, the veterans who appeared on the position jumped out of the trenches and headed toward the city.  It disappeared in the flash of artillery fire in an instant.

    They came suddenly and left quickly. None of the recruits of the 57th Regiment had considered where this small force with rich combat experience came from and where it went. If the Fourth Battalion had  The captain is still alive and should be questioned a few times. Unfortunately, the captain was blown to pieces by a cannonball and was too dead to die.

    After about ten kilometers away from the Japanese second line of defense, the troops hid in a row of buildings. The colonel officer stopped and gave a simple order: "The first detachment is on alert! The radio station immediately contacted other infiltration troops and asked about the current situation.  "Position!" He said it in Chinese. If you are familiar with it, you can follow the flash of the artillery shells. It can be seen that this Japanese commander is actually Major General Chu Tian, ??the leader of the special operations detachment directly under the independent division.

    A few minutes later, the radio received an echo, and the communications soldier reported in a low voice: "Detachment leader, the troops infiltrating from the other three directions have successfully entered Tokyo and reached their predetermined location!"

    &nbsp"Okay!" Chu Tian nodded and said to the communications soldier: "Send a report to the division commander immediately. All members of our special operations detachment have successfully sneaked into Tokyo and arrived at the predetermined location, ready for the next action plan!"

    In just a few minutes, the artillery group of the Independent Division, which was shattering the ground, weakened the intensity of the bombardment. At the same time, the infantry of the Independent Division, who were fighting fiercely with the Japanese army, seemed unable to withstand the stubborn resistance and small-scale counterattacks of the Japanese army, and were defeated.  The Japanese army established their positions step by step and gradually retreated.

    Turning on the flashlight, Chu Tian looked at the map of Tokyo and said to Chief of Staff Qi Hanzhi: "Hanzhi, count the number of troop casualties!"

    Qi Hanzhi was happy and said: "Captain of the detachment, I just finished counting. None of the troops were killed and eight were slightly injured. It doesn't matter. These guys are still complaining to me. Our artillery is so cruel. If  Is it considered a martyr to die under the bombs of one¡¯s own people?¡±

    Chu Tian glared at Qi Hanzhi and said succinctly: "Stop complaining, change clothes on the spot, rest for ten minutes, and then set off!"

    More than an hour later, the battle on Tokyo's second line of defense gradually subsided. The Japanese army paid a heavy price of casualties and finally held their position again. Zai Ren breathed a huge sigh of relief after receiving the report. However,  There was always an indescribable feeling in his heart, that the night attack of the China Independent Division came too suddenly and ended inexplicably.

    Zai Ren wanted to break his head, but he didn't know where his feeling of loss came from. No Japanese would have imagined that the independent division's all-out attack at night was to cover Chutian's special forces.  The battle detachment successfully sneaked into urban Tokyo.

    Tang Qiuli had no better way to quietly send more than 4,000 people from the special operations detachment into downtown Tokyo without alerting the Japanese army. In this case, he would adopt another method and launch the attack at night.  A full-line attack disrupted and stunned the Japanese army. Special operations detachments came from four directions outside Tokyo and took advantage of the chaos to sneak in. Now it seems that the plan was successful.

    After receiving Chutian's telegram, Tang Qiuli breathed a long sigh of relief. Listening to the sound of artillery gradually falling outside the window, he thought to himself: "Next, Chutian and more than 4,000 special forces members will come.  Fighting alone in downtown Tokyo!" According to the plan, unless Chu Tian takes the initiative to contact the division commander, he can only wait.

    However, Tang Qiuli believed in Chu Tian and the special operations team members who had experienced hundreds of battles. The Japanese in Tokyo were now in a state of panic all day long. People's hearts were floating and there was an atmosphere of panic everywhere. It was equivalent to millions of Japanese in Tokyo.  In terms of population, more than 4,000 special operations team members would be about the same as throwing a handful of sand into the sea. Plus there are agents from the Intelligence Department to support them, so there should be no problem!

    "Yuhe!" Tang Qiuli shouted loudly.

    Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe opened the door and came in, "Yuhe, you stay in the war room for a while, I'm going to bed first!" Tang Qiuli said to Zhao Yuhe.

    "Commander, you can finally rest assured that the special operations detachment has successfully entered Tokyo city!" Zhao Yuhe said with a smile: "You can sleep peacefully, it's nothing serious!"

    "Successfully entering Tokyo is just the first step!" Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "As soon as there is news about Chutian, wake me up immediately!"

    The sky was gradually getting brighter, and a military police force of more than a thousand people appeared on the streets of Tokyo. They lined up in neat formation. The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty streets. The few Japanese people on the streets were walking.  They were in a hurry, with a look of fear on their faces, as if they were avoiding something, and no one took a second look at this neat military police force.

    Chu Tian walked at the front of the team, and he felt a very strange feeling in his heart. He didn't feel nervous at all about going deep into the tiger's den. Being among Japanese people was no different from walking on the streets of a certain city in the Korean Peninsula or in China, wasn't it?  The feeling of being in a wolf's den is very much like being in a group of sheep that are busy with themselves.

    In Chu Tian's view, the entire Japanese population in Tokyo was almost on the verge of mental collapse. Not only were the Japanese civilians frightened as if the doomsday was coming, but there were also many Japanese soldiers encountered on the street who looked like  None of the patrol teams in Tokyo came up for questioning. Perhaps the military police uniform played a role, but he believed that with millions of soldiers from the independent division pressing down on the border, Tokyo was in chaos and had lost its normal functions.

    According to Chutian's order, the special forces detachment infiltrated from three other directions in Tokyo. Under the guidance of agents lurking in Tokyo from the Intelligence Department, they met in Hibiya Park in the center of the city. Then they began to attack the palace and capture Hirohito's old man alive.  To complete the tasks assigned by the division commander, the troops are now marching to the predetermined meeting point.

    Turning around a street and entering an alley with low-rise buildings on both sides, I met a dozen Japanese armed with guns but dressed in civilian attire. I saw the military police approaching.??, he ran away in a hurry, which surprised Chu Tian greatly.

    After a dozen Japanese civilians ran out of sight, five more Japanese officers came towards them. Chu Tian whispered: "Get ready to fight! Don't use your guns!"
