- When Yamagata Aritomo said "abandon Tokyo", everyone in the conference room was obviously stunned. Tokyo is the capital of Japan. Giving up Tokyo does not mean to everyone, including the great powers and the Japanese people, that the empire has completely Did it fail?
"No!" Ito Hirobumi immediately objected strongly, "Tokyo is the capital of the Empire and the source of the fighting spirit of the Imperial people. Once Tokyo is lost, the Imperial soldiers will lose their only will to resist!"
Other Japanese military and political ministers who woke up from the shock also expressed strong opposition, believing that evacuating Tokyo was completely undesirable and comparable to treason. ¡¼Literature www.shuw.¡½
Some people even began to accuse Yamaxian Youto of being a sign of retreating from the battlefield and that he could not be called a qualified soldier of the empire, and suggested that Yamaxian Youto be revoked from the position of commander-in-chief of defense.
It is an extremely unwise move to change generals before a battle. This will directly cause instability in the morale of the military. Although Hirobumi Ito heard the unexpected words of Yamagata Aritomo, he still rejected everyone's proposal.
Katsura Taro said: "His Majesty the Emperor said that he will defend Tokyo to the death. Mr. Yamagata, you should also have this consciousness. Tokyo must not be lost!"
"However, none of our hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers can withstand the front of the Chinese Army. It is really difficult to hold on to Tokyo with these 100,000 soldiers. I still insist on giving up Tokyo and moving to Hokkaido, taking advantage of the local terrain, and China will fight to the end!" Shanxian Youpeng is a soldier. At this time, he is well aware of the strength of the Chinese army. From the battle from Xiaguan to Kyoto, it can be seen that the strength of the empire is really different from that of China. At this time, the empire has no strength at all. Unable to confront China head-on, we should not stick to Tokyo and worry about the gains and losses of one city or one place. If we continue to stick to it, there will be only a dead end.
Rather, we should withdraw to Tokyo, flee to Hokkaido, and mediate with the Chinese Army. After all, there are tens of millions of people in the empire. As long as the emperor, the spiritual leader, is here, he can call on the people in the empire to stand up and fight against China. The Chinese Army operates far away from the mainland, and its inability to fight for a long time is its fatal flaw. As long as this weakness is firmly grasped and the Chinese Army is delayed on the mainland for one more day, China's rule in the empire will be weaker. If the royal family and high-level personnel of the empire are controlled by China, then the empire will only be at the mercy of China.
"Bang!" Ito Hirofumi slapped the table hard and angrily said: "Yamagata-kun, I think as a soldier, it is the duty of a soldier to defend the country and protect the country, instead of just retreating!"
¡¡¡¡
Just when there was a quarrel inside the wartime base camp, a mysterious small unit had sneaked around to the northeast gate of Tokyo. I saw that this small unit was well-trained, like a ghost in the night, secretly lurking in the thick darkness of the night. middle.
If you look at it from a high place, you can see that even after being dispersed, this small force still maintains an orderly offensive and defensive formation. Once the enemy is discovered, it can attack at any time and exert its maximum power. From this One thing can tell how extraordinary this small unit is.
This mysterious little unit is the elite of the elite of the Chinese army - the Lone Wolf Special Forces.
Under the special helmet, a face covered in paint and a knife-like face loomed in the night. On top of this resolute face, a pair of black eyes were scanning the front alertly. The owner of this face was Wang Jianchuan.
Since the large-scale landing on the Japanese mainland, Tang Jian began to plan how the lone wolf would cooperate with the assault force to attack Tokyo. After the assault force captured Nagoya, the Pacific Fleet attracted the attention of the Japanese army in Yokosuka and Tokyo Bay, and at the same time in Yokosuka Port. The lone wolf was secretly sent to the shore.
Under the leadership of Wang Jianchuan, the lone wolf quickly entered the inland after landing at Yokosuka Port, and quickly moved closer to Tokyo. Before the assault force arrived in Tokyo, Wang Jianchuan and the lone wolf had been hiding in the suburbs of Tokyo.
Yesterday evening, Feng Guozhang, the commander of the assault force, called and said that the assault force had arrived in the southwest fifty kilometers away from Tokyo and was preparing to launch an attack on Tokyo in the early morning of the next day. Feng Guozhang needed a lone wolf to cooperate with this attack.
The specific mission is to sneak into Tokyo at midnight, control the Japanese Imperial Palace in the shortest possible time, and capture the Meiji Emperor of Japan alive.
Tang Jian told Feng Guozhang during the expedition that he did not want Emperor Meiji to accidentally die under aerial bombing during the blitz on Tokyo. For Tang Jian, it was obvious that the living emperor was more useful than the dead emperor.
Even though this task was extremely arduous and the difficulty was beyond human imagination, Wang Jianchuan still nodded and accepted it without hesitation. The meaning of the lone wolf's existence was to complete all seemingly impossible tasks. The task of capturing Emperor Meiji alive was assigned. After coming down, not only did all the lone wolves not complain at all, but they all showed excitement.
As a Chinese soldier, what is more exciting than capturing the Japanese Emperor Meiji alive? You must know that ordinary soldiers may not have such an opportunity in their lifetime, although the lone wolves are not ordinary soldiers.
Especially Ma Rushan and He Shan. Both of them personally participated in the Sino-Japanese War of 1898. Their hatred for the Japanese was unimaginable to most people. They saw countless of their comrades fall at the muzzle of the enemy's guns. Therefore, the two of them were the most active.
At this time, the scouts who went to investigate the situation cautiously flew in front of Wang Jianchuan. Even though they were flying towards him, the scouts' feet did not make much noise. Even the slightest noise was immediately sobbing. The night wind blows away.
The scout made a set of tactical moves, indicating that there were not many sentries in front, and the defenses were not as tight as in the southwest, so he could sneak in easily!
Wang Jianchuan nodded. This tactic of walking eastward was created by Zhu Lianjie, the former commander of Lone Wolf. When it was necessary to secretly carry out infiltration missions, this set of actions was very useful and effective in actual combat.
Although the tactical movements of the scouts were simple and clear, the tacit understanding formed through years of fighting allowed Wang Jianchuan to quickly understand what the scouts wanted to express.
Wang Jianchuan waved his hand towards the rear, and the lone wolves who had spread out on guard immediately understood, and then quickly moved closer to Wang Jianchuan. Wang Jianchuan quickly made several tactical moves in the night and assigned combat tasks.
Five minutes later, the Lone Wolf special forces dispersed in a fan shape and formed a combat team of four. Soon, the first combat team floated under the thick city wall like a ghost.
The various weapons worn by the lone wolf members embody the essence of countless advanced Chinese technologies. The dark helmets and combat uniforms make it almost impossible to spot the dexterous lone wolf members with the naked eye from a distance in the night.
At this time, on the city wall, there were a total of twelve Japanese soldiers with live ammunition yawning. It was obvious that standing guard in the cold wind until midnight would make people feel very tired, not to mention that these were Japanese soldiers who were new recruits.
The President is still clever. He used the Thirty-six Strategies so cleverly. He built a plank road to cross Chencang secretly, attacked the east and attacked the west, and used the assault force to attract most of Tokyo's troops. At this time, Yamagata Aritomo should have focused all his attention on the southwest. Assault force!
Yamagata Aritomo would never have imagined that a small force would take advantage of the empty defense in the northeast. Even though there were 100,000 Japanese troops in Tokyo at this time, this small force only had more than 200 people.
Wang Jianchuan raised his arm and made an offensive gesture!
The thirty lone wolf members of the first lone wolf combat team suddenly resembled a black whirlwind. Without making any sound, they clung to the black wall like geckos. They took out a gun with their right hand from their waist. A small crossbow with a retractable cross hook at the top, and the tail end of the crossbow were tied to the special strong nylon ropes around the waists of the Lone Wolf team members. Such a small nylon rope can carry at least half a ton. the weight of.
Thirty people all fired the crossbow arrows with nylon ropes, and then thirty crossbow arrows with a sound of piercing the air were shot at the blind spot guarded by the Japanese sentry. This sound was inaudible amid the howling night wind.
After fixing the rope, thirty people tested the stability. Then they grasped the rope tightly with both hands and stepped on the city wall with both feet to move quickly. The speed at which they climbed the wall was much faster than the walking speed of normal people. This shows how physically strong the members of the Lone Wolf Special Forces are.
With the 20-meter-high city wall, the Lone Wolf team members quickly climbed onto the city wall in just fifteen seconds, and then took advantage of the gaps where the Japanese soldiers were yawning or distracted and hid in the shadows of the city wall.
At this time, there was a strange silence on the city wall. It was not that the lone wolf team members stopped attacking, but that they were waiting for the opportunity, preparing to annihilate the Japanese soldiers on the city wall in one fell swoop within three seconds without letting them fall to the ground. The Japanese soldiers made some noise to avoid alerting the enemy.
Time seemed to have stopped for ten minutes. At this moment, a Japanese soldier suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing behind him. He was confused and wanted to turn his head to see what happened.
However, his expression froze at this moment, and he clearly felt his life draining rapidly from the aorta in his neck, because at this time, a sharp blade was stably inserted into his neck.
What appeared in front of him was a face covered in oil paint without any emotion. The eyes of this face reflected his extremely distorted face, and there was no wave in these eyes, as if he was facing It's like a pile of dead things.
This unlucky Japanese soldier could only make strange gurgling noises, and his neck aorta was connected toThe trachea and Adam's apple were cut off in sequence, and then the desperate and helpless eyes of the Japanese soldier gradually dimmed.
While the Japanese soldier fell to the ground, the sound of a sharp knife piercing his flesh or his neck being broken could be heard one after another on the city wall. All movements were in a flash of lightning. In just three seconds, the twelve Japanese soldiers on the city wall They all fell into a pool of blood, and the strong smell of blood spread in the air.
Ten minutes later, all the lone wolves successfully climbed onto the city wall, and what appeared in front of them was the brightly lit and magnificent city of Tokyo!
