Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Even so, Hideki Tojo still has no idea, anti-aircraft guns can't hit very high, as long as the Chinese drop bombs at an altitude of 5000 meters or more, anti-aircraft guns are powerless.Not to mention the anti-aircraft machine guns, these newly developed and produced things that have not yet been tested in actual combat, it is not bad to be able to hit a height of about 500 meters.In addition, will Chinese planes dive down obediently and let their anti-aircraft machine guns play a role?There is no need for the Chinese to do this at all, they just want to drop the bombs in the city of Tokyo.If a few bombs were really thrown into the emperor's palace, Hideki Tojo would definitely become the number one sinner of the Great Japanese Empire.

In order to prevent millions of people from fleeing, Hideki Tojo came to see Emperor Hirohito many times and led the cabinet members to ask the emperor to stay in Tokyo. , In order to protect the safety of the Japanese imperial family, and now I beg myself not to leave, the only reason is for the survival of the Japanese Empire.

Now Hirohito's intestines are full of regrets. He regrets that he should have handed over the power to Hideki Tojo. After a series of incidents, Tojo is nothing more than a warrior who can't use his brain. But now the situation is urgent and he wants to dissolve the cabinet I'm afraid it will cause even greater panic, so Hirohito had no choice but to pretend to be indifferent and said: "I said a long time ago that I will live and die with Tokyo and the Japanese people."

Hideki Tojo breathed a sigh of relief. In order to further protect the emperor's safety, he dug a huge air-raid shelter in the palace and poured thick reinforced concrete on it. Such a building can completely resist any bomb attack.

The safety issue of the royal family has been solved so-so. Now Hideki Tojo's most difficult problem is how to deal with the powerful Beiyang fleet. He knows that the emperor is very dissatisfied now, and he doesn't want to come up with a good solution. Sooner or later the members of the cabinet were bound to die.However, it is not an easy task to deal with such a powerful fleet, and now he has too few cards in his hand.

In a secret room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Hisao Tani was kneeling on the tatami mat, looking helplessly at Hideki Tojo, who was anxious.

Hideki Tojo scolded for a long time before he said: "There is no other way but to let the Royal Fleet assemble in Tokyo Bay to defend against the enemy?"

"Your Excellency, the only sea force left is the Royal Fleet. If this fleet is destroyed again, we will completely lose our territorial sea rights. Besides, the Royal Fleet is just a temporary force, which is not enough at all. To compete with the Beiyang Fleet, once we lose our territorial sea rights, the Beiyang Fleet will swagger northward and carry out large-scale bombing of our coastal areas, and Tokyo will not be able to keep it either."

"Then tell me, what are you going to use to deal with the Chinese fleet?"

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, we still have more than 100 torpedo boats and hundreds of gunboats in our hands. Let's make a big difference with a small one and attack the Chinese navy at the right time."

"Shut up! Are you as stupid as you are when you are Chinese? We have received multiple reports that all ships blocking the front of the Chinese fleet, whether they are fishing boats or sightseeing boats, have all been sunk by Chinese destroyers , Up to now, nearly a hundred ships have been killed. Tell me, how did the torpedo boats and gunboats get close to the Chinese fleet? Moreover, what role can those gunboats weighing tens of tons play, not to mention attacking Chinese warships, even mosquitoes? Not dead."

Gu Hisao said aggrievedly: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, please seriously consider whether you can think of another way to deal with the Chinese fleet. Otherwise, if it doesn't work, you can solve it through diplomatic means. In short, you can't let the local fleet come. Tokyo is dying for nothing."

"Diplomatic means? You have a pretty good idea. If diplomatic means can solve it, I'd still be wasting my saliva with a waste like you." Hideki Tojo cursed and pulled out the saber that the emperor gave him. , threw it in front of Hisao Tani, and said coldly: "You can figure it out yourself. If the Royal Fleet has not come to Tokyo Bay to gather before the Beiyang Fleet attacks Tokyo, then you will fulfill your loyalty to the Emperor." After speaking, Hideki Tojo strode towards the inner room, leaving only Hisao Tani with a pale face and trembling body.

Rising Clouds: World War II Chapter 5 Ninety From Heaven to Hell

Amid the growing panic in Tokyo, it was not until the morning of December 12 that the Beiyang Fleet came to the waters 16 kilometers away from the Izu Islands, only about 30 kilometers away from Tokyo.Deng Shichang played a game of cat and mouse with the Japanese this time. In fact, he could have reached the attack area yesterday, but he wanted the fleet to cruise slowly to the east of the Kii Peninsula and dispatch more than 300 sorties to reconnaissance The plane circled over Tokyo.The Japanese were terrified by this. The air raid siren sounded more than a dozen times a day, and every time it sounded, there would be chaos in the city of Tokyo. The nerves of Japanese officials and Tokyo citizens were about to be broken.

At 08:30 in the morning, Deng Shichang gave the order to attack.The first wave of thirty carrier-based aircraft took off and flew towards Tokyo.This time their bombing target was Japan's spiritual core, the Emperor's Palace.

The Imperial Palace is just to the east of Tokyo Bay, only a few kilometers away from Tokyo Bay. It is surrounded by important targets such as the National Assembly and the Prime Minister's Office. Moreover, compared with Tokyo, where most of the surrounding areas are low-rise bungalows, the large green space of the Imperial Palace, In the eyes of pilots at an altitude of several thousand meters, it is too eye-catching.Of course, the pilots did not dare to take it lightly. The news just came that the Japanese had set up a large number of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns around the palace. It seemed that this was an extremely difficult task.But everyone is very excited, because what they are rushing to is the core target of the war against Japan, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for everyone's career.

At around 09:30 in the morning, the attack aircraft group arrived over Tokyo.They were lucky, the weather today was very fine, with no clouds in the sky, and a clear line of sight, they found the palace without much effort.

The pilots yanked the nose of the plane and headed straight for the palace. 7000 meters, 6000 meters, and when they dived to a height of 5000 meters, clusters of artillery fire suddenly burst out around the palace, weaving a fire net in the sky.

Lanxiang fighter planes nimbly shuttled through the fire net while carefully observing the situation below.Commander Lin Jiannan immediately shouted to the intercom: "Attention all teams, there is a lot of energy down there, hurry up and throw away the bombs, then climb up and leave immediately."

At the same time, shells passed by the plane one after another. Lin Jiannan was concentrating on trying to find gaps in the firepower net, when he suddenly heard someone calling on the intercom: "Captain, three of our planes have been hit."

Lin Jiannan was so anxious that his eyes were about to burst, and he cursed fiercely: "Damn, fight with the little Japan!" He suddenly accelerated the speed of his dive, and rushed towards the palace. After passing through countless bullets, the houses in the palace gradually It became clearer, and even the Japanese who were shuttled back and forth on the ground could be seen.Lin Jiannan gritted his teeth and pressed the red button heavily. Forty bombs weighing 25 kilograms were thrown to the ground, carrying the potential energy of the plane, and smashed on the palace in the center of the palace.Lin Jiannan hurriedly pulled the plane to a high altitude, looked down, and saw that the inside of the palace was already in flames, with thick smoke rising into the sky.

At the same time, he saw a Lanxiang fighter plane falling with thick smoke billowing from its tail. When it was about to hit the ground, the pilot pulled the nose of the plane violently, barely raising the plane a little. Then adjusted the direction and slammed into an anti-aircraft artillery position.After a loud bang, the anti-aircraft gun position with more than a dozen anti-aircraft guns was immediately shrouded in thick smoke and fire. The 7 kg bombs carried by the plane that were not dropped in time immediately razed the anti-aircraft gun position to the ground. The soldier was killed instantly.

Lin Jiannan felt sore and almost cried. He remembered that in the naval battle of Jeju Island, his comrade Zhuang Cheng blocked the Japanese torpedo with his fighter plane in order to protect the warship.He knew very well that when the pilot raised the nose of the aircraft just now, he had a chance to escape by parachuting, but he chose to die with hundreds of Japanese. "Extremely confused! Are the Japanese as valuable as your life? Is it necessary to die with them?"

Seeing the loss of a fighter plane and a pilot in the first attack wave, Deng Shichang immediately adjusted his strategy, requiring the pilot to maintain an altitude of 6000 meters in the next attack.When dealing with land targets, it is strictly forbidden for pilots to attack by diving in order to improve the hit rate unless it is a last resort.The training of a pilot is not an easy task. How much does it cost? Deng Shichang doesn't want to exchange the precious pilot's life for greater results.

After learning the lessons of the first wave of attacks, the pilots became more cautious in the next attacks.Every hour or so, a group of thirty planes flew over Tokyo, dropped five tons of bombs at an altitude of 6000 meters, and circled away without any loss. The Japanese anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns could only stare blankly.Anyway, Deng Shichang explained in advance that he only needs to drop the bombs in the city of Tokyo. He doesn't care about the hit rate, and he doesn't need to worry about bombing civilians by mistake.For such a nation, there is actually not much difference between civilians and soldiers. One less Japanese will bring peace and tranquility to the world.

Bombing like this continued until December 12th.

At seven o'clock that night, in the Welcome Palace in Yoyogi Park, Tokyo, Hideki Tojo was lying on a tatami mat, surrounded by several beautiful Japanese singers who were lying on the Prime Minister's lap.At this time, even in Wenxiang Nephrite, Tojo Hideki couldn't attract any interest, and now his heart is in a mess.To be more precise, Hideki Tojo at this time has lost the instinctive reaction of a man to a woman.

In addition to Tokyo these days, the Chinese navy has achieved remarkable results in its bombing of Honshu and northern Shikoku.Now, the daily output of anti-aircraft machine guns has dropped to about 6000 pieces, and the anti-aircraft guns are even more bleak, with a daily output of about [-] pieces, which cannot meet the needs of the military at all.However, to be honest, only Amaterasu knows how effective these desperately produced things are under the enemy's high-altitude bombing.Ever since they suffered losses during the bombing of the imperial palace, the Chinese have become more cautious. All of them threw bombs and anti-aircraft artillery shells from an altitude of more than [-] meters, and they could not hit the opponent's plane at all.However, he also knows that without these things for appearance, Japan's losses may be even greater.What's more terrible is that the domestic reserves of steel have been used up too quickly in this period of time. Steel is used to build reinforced concrete fortifications, steel is used to make cannons, and shells, etc. The current reserves can only last about half a year. .For a country like Japan, which is extremely resource-poor, this is really a fatal blow.

Hideki Tojo is helpless now, and can only stare blankly. The ambition of establishing the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere has all been turned into helplessness at this time. The best way to deal with those annoying planes is to have his own big The size of the air force, but this is simply a fantasy for the current Japanese.The industrial center has long been blown upside down, and the aircraft research base in Kobe has not survived this catastrophe. The production line has been turned into scrap steel, and experts have suffered heavy casualties. Even if the Chinese stop their attacks now, there will be no three or five In a few years, the scale of Japan's aircraft will never return to the pre-war level.Three to five years?Hideki Tojo smiled wryly. It was hard for him to imagine how many people there would be on the Japanese archipelago.

Today was originally a good day. After three days of heavy snowfall, it finally stopped this morning, revealing a ray of warm sunshine.Six days ago, the carrier-based aircraft of the Beiyang Fleet carried out a large-scale bombing of the cities of Kochi, Takamatsu, and Matsuyama on Shikoku Island. According to the usual practice, at least within three days, no aerial bombs will be dropped on the Japanese archipelago up.So, this morning, Hideki Tojo led a group of senior generals out of the Welcome Palace and the air-raid shelter, and inspected the city of Tokyo.What I saw can only be described as horrible.

In the entire city, less than [-]% of the houses that can still stand are left, and about [-]% of the houses have been bombed to dilapidated condition, and they can no longer withstand the cold wind. A pile of broken bricks.A large number of homeless Japanese used wood, planks and cardboards to build a series of extremely simple and dilapidated wooden houses connected together on the ruins and open spaces, barely resisting the biting cold wind.All the poor people live in these improvised dilapidated wooden houses. The rich have already gone to the countryside, or simply went to Hokkaido, where no bomb has been dropped. The big city Sapporo there, The living facilities are complete and the materials are relatively rich, and the hot springs there are the most suitable for rich people to spend the cold winter.

In the slums made up of dilapidated wooden houses, murders and robberies happened almost all the time. The noble sentiments of the Yamato people were fully reflected here, and some people raised their hearts to their neighbors without hesitation. The butcher's knife is just for a few hardened rice balls.The public security police in Tokyo have been engaged in the same monotonous and simple job recently, that is, carrying out frozen corpses from the ruins, from the dilapidated wooden houses, and from both sides of the street, They got together, pulled them to the outskirts with a rickshaw, and buried them in a random pit.

Tokyo, the political, economic and cultural core of Japan, has been reduced from heaven to hell on earth in just one week!

After only two hours of inspection, Hideki Tojo couldn't stand it anymore. Such a heavy casualty and such a difficult situation would cause the morale of the people to collapse.

Just when Hideki Tojo was thinking wildly, there was a burst of low engine roar in the sky, followed by a few dull explosions, and Hideki Tojo subconsciously ran to the air-raid shelter outside go.This kind of explosion sounded within a few minutes, and the harsh air raid sirens immediately sounded throughout the city of Tokyo.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, please dodge for a while." The accompanying officials persuaded.

Hideki Tojo gritted his teeth and wanted to pretend he wasn't afraid of death, but his legs couldn't help walking towards the air-raid shelter. As soon as they walked more than [-] meters away, they saw flames bursting into the sky outside Yoyogi Park. The whole sky was red, and waves of heat came in, scorching everyone's eyebrows and beards.

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 591 Japan is crying, the emperor is hiding

At this time, Tokyo has become a real hell on earth.One hundred Beiyang Fleet carrier-based planes carried more than one hundred tons of incendiary bombs and dropped them on residential areas in several directions in Tokyo. Then, the fire became more and more intense, and it was difficult to contain it at all.The hot air generated by the burning of the fire formed terrible hot winds, which rolled around the flames and rushed around, quickly igniting the surrounding houses.

Residents of Tokyo wake up from their sleep, wearing kimonos and clogs, running around helplessly in the scorching city like chickens without their heads, calling for help.Thick smoke shot straight into the sky, mixed with a lot of flames and sundries, floating everywhere, and the clothes and hair of many Japanese people were set on fire.Fortunately, the three-foot-thick snow was melted by the fire, forming puddles on the ground. At the beginning, the Japanese who caught fire only needed to roll a few times into the puddles to put out the fire.

But the fires got bigger and bigger and more fierce, until the terrible heat alone was enough to set the clothes on fire, and the water in the puddles was quickly dried up, and some places were lower. However, it was steaming hot and almost boiled.The frightened Japanese jumped into the puddle without knowing the situation, and it became a messy broth.

People with relatively clear minds, ignoring their insignificant possessions, ran out of the city with their children.

There was thick smoke and fire everywhere, and the helpless cries of the Japanese. On the road leading to the outside of the city, panicked people trampled on each other, and more and more people fell to the ground and were trampled to death. These corpses fled outwards frantically.

Several large rivers outside Tokyo, such as the Arakawa, Sumida River, and Tama River, were crowded with dense crowds, and there were still a large number of Japanese coming from all directions, desperately pushing forward.Some people were squeezed into the river.Some people jumped into the river to cool down because they couldn't stand the scorching air.But soon they discovered that this was a wrong decision. The snow water in the city melted away and poured into several rivers outside the city. The people in the river rushed straight downstream.People were like straws drifting in the turbulent river, unable to help themselves, and soon they were frozen to death by the icy river downstream.

At this time, Hideki Tojo had already run into the air-raid shelter, and his heart became a little quieter. He immediately called the secretary and ordered the implementation of security controls throughout Japan, especially at night. direction.

In fact, he also knew that such measures were just for show. The Chinese couldn't find the target at night, so they could launch an attack during the day.But as the prime minister at this time, he must come up with some means.Even if it is for the emperor to see, it is necessary.

Two hours later, it was confirmed that the Chinese plane had already left Tokyo, and Hideki Tojo walked out of the air-raid shelter under the heavy protection of the guards.The fire has gradually diminished, and there is a pungent burnt smell in the air. It is a kind of smell mixed with wood, plastic, clothes, hair, and human flesh after being burnt, challenging what the stomach can tolerate. limit.

The resplendent and resplendent buildings of the prime minister's official residence and guest house were gone. On the ruins, only some burnt wood remained, still making crackling sounds.The open space of the park was crowded with people, those were Tokyo residents who had fled here from other places. Yoyogi Park was relatively large, and there were many open spaces, which somewhat provided a refuge for these people.Some soldiers are pulling out the burnt, suffocated, crushed, or trampled Japanese corpses from the crowd in disgrace, and pile them on both sides of the road, waiting to be transported out of the city for burial. The whole of Tokyo has almost become a giant morgue.

"You must taste blood, you must!" Hideki Tojo brushed off the snow from his shoulders, howling hysterically like a wild dog driven into a desperate situation: "Even if there is only one Japanese left on the Japanese archipelago, People, I want to fight to the end, I want to let the Chinese know that the body of the Japanese can be destroyed, but the tenacious will of the Yamato nation will never be crushed!"

The refugees in the distance looked at poor Hideki Tojo in despair, their faces were full of complex expressions of anger, helplessness, and contempt. Their faces became paler and their eyes became more and more desperate.

As soon as he returned to the air-raid shelter, Hideki Tojo immediately ordered to inform the governments and media of major Western countries about the burning of Tokyo by the Chinese. In particular, he must carefully describe the tragic situation in Tokyo after the disaster, emphasizing the unyielding national spirit of the Japanese and the inhumane hunting of the Chinese. means of killing.As long as the media reports this incident, the people of all countries will definitely react strongly.Maybe the Chinese can stop the bombing of the Japanese archipelago and let themselves breathe more or less.Now that Japan has no ability to stop China's attack, he can only pin his hopes on European countries.However, will European countries, especially Germany and Italy, who are in a state of war, lend a helping hand to their allies in their most difficult times?Tojo didn't know, but he decided to give it a try.

As Tojo expected, European governments and media immediately reacted to China's burning of Tokyo. At 1904 o'clock in the morning on January 1, 13, the responses of various countries had been sorted out and placed in front of Hideki Tojo.

The German and Italian governments and media loudly condemned China's burning of Tokyo as an unforgivable and inhumane act.However, it is only limited to condemnation. They have no intention of providing military and political support, and they are not even willing to give the Japanese a little bit of relief materials.

The Soviet Union only published some brief news in the newspapers.After the brief exchange of fire on the Polish border that just ended, the Soviet Union did not get any benefit from Nazi Germany, and the losses were extremely heavy. The attention of the people of the whole country was focused on this matter, and there was no time to care about the life and death of the Japanese.The only thing they have to do now is to hold on to the big tree of China. As long as China is backed, the Soviet Union will definitely be able to defeat the Nazis one day.

The comments from the United States on the other side of the ocean are relatively more pertinent.Seeing the chaos in Europe and Asia, Roosevelt was so happy that his nose bubbled out. The more intense the fight, the better. I just took this opportunity to develop the economy and even find a chance to make some war money from the war.Due to the huge influence of the Chinese business community in the United States, the comments of the US government and media are slightly biased towards the Chinese.On the one hand, the Americans condemned the Chinese for targeting ordinary Japanese civilians, and at the same time pointed out that it was the series of stupid things that Japan colluded with North Korea during the Korean War that led to the result.At the same time, the U.S. government also expressed its position that it is more tasteless than fart, calling on both sides of the war to return to the normal track of friendship and try their best to save all the evil consequences of the war.

The British and French governments and media are leaning one-sidedly towards China.Newspapers and radio stations simply explained that Tokyo, Japan was attacked by China, but spent a lot of time describing the shady and inferior nature of Japan's coveting of Chinese territory in history.

Hideki Tojo put down the newspaper and fell weakly on the sofa. He knew that the hope of using Western countries to prevent the crazy Chinese attack was once again shattered.

A secretary came in and handed him a document: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister. This is the approximate damage to Tokyo estimated by the Ministry of War. Please have a look."

Hideki Tojo said with red eyes: "You don't need to read it, just tell me."
