When Yamagata Youpeng rushed to the city gate, he found that it was too late, because more than thousands of Chinese Army troops had poured into Tokyo through the huge gap in the city wall, and the number was still increasing rapidly. Even after The tight defense lines built in the city could not stop the powerful breakthrough capabilities of the Chinese sharp knife tanks. Piaotian Literature Network ()
The defenders on the city wall could not stop the increasing number of Chinese Army troops pouring into Tokyo. Seeing the situation gradually getting out of control, Yamagata Aritomo immediately ordered to retreat to the buildings in the city and engage in street fighting with the Chinese Army.
However, Yamagata Aritomo forgot an important point. At this time, the city of Tokyo was already a sea of ??fire. Retreating to the city meant that there would be no way out. There was a fire in the rear and a powerful enemy in the front. The Japanese army would have no way to retreat.
Even if Shanxian Youpeng issued this order, the Japanese army at this time had been completely dispersed by the Chinese Army. Shanxian Youpeng's order could not spread to all the Japanese troops. Under the powerful offensive of the assault troops, the Japanese defense line was close Collapsed and fell into a situation of fighting on their own.
So, when the red sun in the east jumped out of the horizon, the whole of Tokyo had fallen into a huge ocean of blood and fire. Shocking shouts of killing continued to appear in the sky above Tokyo, and the sound of gunfire was like inexhaustible firecrackers. There was no pause during the exchange of fire between the two parties.
The Japanese troops defending the city were already red-eyed, holding long guns in their hands to continuously attack the Chinese assault troops. On the Japanese heavy machine gun position, a Japanese machine gunner aimed the red barrel of the gun at the aircraft. The soldiers of the assault force who rushed towards us didn't even know that their machine guns had jammed.
Just after he realized that the machine gun had jammed, he lowered his head to prepare for repairs when he suddenly felt a violent tremor on the ground. He raised his head and saw a brilliant flash of fire from the ferocious muzzle of a steel monster not far away, and then he I felt myself flying up, and the sky and the earth were spinning rapidly in my eyes.
At this time, he discovered that there was a machine gun position on the ground that had been reduced to ruins, and there was a very familiar lower body half on the machine gun position. He immediately realized that it belonged to his own body, and his body had been blasted from the waist. Then, he felt himself falling heavily to the ground, and his consciousness gradually blurred. When his eyes were about to fall into darkness, the soldiers of the Chinese assault force had already crossed his position and continued towards the city. Let¡¯s go!
In less than three hours, the 30,000-strong assault force poured into the city of Tokyo from all the holes opened by the blast, and engaged in a melee with the Japanese troops who were fighting against the trapped beasts in the city.
Ordinary soldiers in the assault force are elites selected from hundreds of thousands of Chinese army, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong. This can be seen from the rapid fall from Shimonoseki to Kyoto. Often one soldier in the assault force can fight against four or five. Ordinary Japanese troops, facing the Tokyo defenders who were gradually defeated at this moment, were even more powerful and marched forward with great momentum. The Tokyo defenders began to retreat steadily.
Feng Yuxiang, a fierce general in the assault force, roared: "The Emperor of Japan has been captured, surrender the gun without killing him!" Obviously, Feng Yuxiang strictly implemented Tang Jian's strict order that generals above the regiment level should learn a few simple Japanese, although Feng Yuxiang learned it quickly. I'm not too familiar with a few Japanese sentences, but the four words "if you surrender your gun, don't kill" are correct and precise. It seems that Feng Yuxiang has been practicing these four words for a long time! And today it finally came in handy!
As Feng Yuxiang shouted, "The Emperor of Japan has been captured, surrender your gun without killing him!" Soldiers from other assault troops also shouted the same phrase while charging at the edge.
This sentence was like a heavy hammer hitting the Japanese army's already weak psychological defense line. The ordinary Japanese soldiers looked at each other, and the counterattack in their hands slowed down slightly. Before the Japanese commander could reprimand him, he suddenly When the bombs rained down, the Japanese soldiers who were slower to react immediately fell into a pool of blood, which became a stepping stone for the assault troops to move forward.
Seeing the soldiers showing signs of disintegration, Shanxian Youpeng quickly issued an order. Even he did not know how many generals heard his order. He also waved his command knife and shouted loudly against the huge background of bullets, bullets and fire: "The Empire's Soldiers, His Majesty the Emperor is in the palace behind us, for the Emperor, for the Empire, kill!" As soon as Yamagata Aritomo's words came out, he was quickly drowned in the sound of dense gunfire.
The fighting continues.
Feng Guozhang put down the telescope, with a confident smile on his lips, and ordered to the left and right: "Immediately order Colonel Wang Jianchuan of the Lone Wolf Special Forces. It is their turn to perform."
"Yes!" replied an adjutant.
In Feng Guozhang¡¯s eyes, the Battle of Tokyo at this time was completely a show battle for the assault troops!
"Chirp!" A sharp and harsh figure sounded, and a rocket shot straight into the air, exploding a bright spark over the smoke-filled Tokyo.
In the Japanese Imperial Palace, Wang Jianchuan happened to see a bright spark blooming in the southwest sky of Tokyo. Wang Jianchuan smiled to himself: "Finally it's our turn to perform again."
Wang Jianchuan nodded towards Ma Rushan and He Shan. The two immediately understood and used their eyes to signal the other Lone Wolf team members who were resting. After receiving the order, the Lone Wolf team members quickly changed from the resting state to the combat state. .
The Japanese soldiers surrounding the Lone Wolf Special Forces suddenly became nervous and pointed their guns at Wang Jianchuan and others again. Wang Jianchuan quickly laughed and said: "Haha, don't be nervous, just stretch your legs. We are all tired from standing. How about everyone?" Sit down and chat?¡±
When the Japanese soldiers saw Wang Jianchuan's harmless smile, they immediately shuddered. They could not see any kindness in Wang Jianchuan's smile.
Sure enough, Wang Jianchuan showed a color to Ma Rushan. Ma Rushan nodded slightly and held a small rope tightly in his hand. The other end of the rope was buried in the soil. If you look carefully at the color of the soil, you can find that there is Several lines of new soil were turned out, and this somewhat obvious trace circled around the feet of the Japanese troops surrounding the Lone Wolf Special Forces.
These are high-powered weapons buried underground. Wang Jianchuan had already guessed that after capturing the Emperor, the lone wolf would be heavily surrounded by the Japanese army. Therefore, when entering the residence of Emperor Meiji, he ordered people to bury bombs around the residence. A large number of high-energy **.
Wang Jianchuan raised his middle finger towards the Japanese soldiers. This was given to him by Tang Jian, and it seemed to be a curse gesture. Just when the Japanese soldiers were confused by this gesture, Wang Jianchuan shouted: "Get down!", and the other lone wolves They all lay down or looked for cover.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Rushan pulled the string hard, and a huge explosion sounded. A huge explosion occurred at the location of the Japanese army. The Japanese army surrounding the lone wolf instantly fell over and was swept away by the huge explosion wave. Fall, numerous casualties. Countless dust mixed with gunpowder smoke submerged the figures of Wang Jianchuan and others.
Wang Jianchuan picked up the bound Emperor Meiji with one hand, raised a gun with one hand, and roared while shooting: "Brothers, rush out!"
The other lone wolves had already jumped up, and the various weapons in their hands erupted with hot tongues of fire. Regardless of whether they could see the Japanese troops in the smoke clearly or not, they just poured bullets fiercely in one direction. Soon, Wang Jianchuan and others Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the explosion, people broke out of the encirclement and rushed towards the commanding heights of the Japanese Imperial Palace.
The Japanese soldiers who reacted from the dizziness pointed their guns in the direction where the Lone Wolf Special Forces broke out and escaped. Just as they were about to shoot, the commander of the Japanese army immediately shouted angrily: "What are you doing? His Majesty the Emperor is under their control." Do you want to murder His Majesty the Emperor?"
The Japanese soldiers put down their spears angrily and looked at the Japanese commander with innocent eyes. The Japanese commander cursed: "Why are you still standing there? Chase after him. Remember, don't hurt His Majesty the Emperor!"
"In this way, Wang Jianchuan and other lone wolves led Emperor Meiji in the front, and the Japanese troops in the rear were chasing after them, but they only hung at a distance and never dared to shoot.
Wang Jianchuan and others soon arrived at a high-rise building in the Japanese Imperial Palace. From here, at least half of Tokyo can be seen. This is what Wang Jianchuan wants.
After a while, the lone wolves erected a pillar several meters high on the roof of the high-rise building, and Ma Rushan slowly lifted Emperor Meiji up. There was also a yellow dragon sword flag hanging at the feet of Emperor Meiji. Under the sword flag, a huge vertical banner was blown by the wind, and it read: Emperor Meiji is here!
This Battle of Tokyo was more brutal than any previous battle. The Japanese army's stubborn resistance far exceeded the imagination of the assault troops. Although all the assault troops had entered the city, the numerical disadvantage of the troops quickly became apparent in the street fighting. , the assault force encountered a hard nut this time.
But even as the casualties of the assault troops continued to increase, the Japanese army was still retreating steadily, and was only one step away from a complete defeat.
At this time, Yamagata Aritomo discovered the bright flag on top of the palace and the Emperor Meiji on the flag. Yamagata Aritomo felt bad because many soldiers also discovered this scene.
Emperor Meiji has always been the spiritual pillar of the Japanese army. Now that the emperor was captured, the Japanese army's psychological defenses finally collapsed. Many Japanese commanders could not bear to see the disastrous defeat that was about to happen. They knelt in front of the emperor and gave one last shout. He committed suicide by caesarean section!
Many Japanese soldiers put down their weapons in despair and knelt on the ground with tears streaming down their faces. Since the emperor they were desperately guarding had been captured, the next battle had no meaning and they could not find any reason to continue fighting. .
Without faith, there is no fighting abilityIt's annihilated!
Finally, the local defeat spread rapidly. In the helpless and desperate eyes of Yamagata Aritomo, the entire front line collapsed. Tokyo had fallen in the hearts of the imperial soldiers, and the subsequent disastrous defeat was inevitable.
