The 41st chapter death counterattack

.In the dense woods of the Imperial House in Tokyo, there is a place called "Miwenku", but it is not the Emperor's study or library, but the royal air defense hidden place with a strong structure.

It has a high city wall protection and is located in Tokyo with heavy protection from the Japanese army and navy. There is also the Yokosuka Military Port, known as the No. 1 fortress in Japan, in the south of Tokyo Bay, and the imperial palace where the Emperor's family lives should be quite safe. However, from the moment the group of German bombers flew across the English Channel, the knowledgeable people from all over the world began to realize that the battlefield was different from the previous battlefield. The distance in traditional concepts had been greatly shortened. The regional aircraft that originally needed to travel through mountains and rivers and advance step by step might only take a few dozen minutes to reach.

During the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese Navy once raided a large number of wooden torpedo boats. Although it was just a helpless move to prevent Russian fleets from ramming the western coast of Japan, it also played a significant role in appeaseing the hearts of the people and stabilizing the situation. Although this "Yuwenku" is different from the shoddy wooden torpedo boats, it has the same effect. In the 19th year after the end of the Russo-Japanese War, a group of German bombers flew over Washington. With the preparatory preparations, the Japanese army began to strategically build a large number of air defense fortifications in major cities in China. As the spiritual leader of Japan, the safety of the emperor is naturally more important than that of any civilian. Therefore, this "Yuwenku" is not comparable to that of ordinary air defense fortifications.

"Yuwenku" is a bungalow building, with a three-meter-thick cement roof that can withstand the attack of any conventional bombs. The first floor of the underground is the residence of the guards, and the second floor of the underground is the royal air defense room. In addition to sunlight and rain, there are all living facilities such as study, bedroom, conference hall, kitchen and restaurant. Enough grain and fresh water reserves, anti-virus compartments, backup generators and transmitters can ensure that the royal family can survive the most difficult period.

Despite nearly perfect preparations, the Japanese government and the military did not want this air defense facility to be practical one day. Letting the emperor condescend to hide underground is undoubtedly a great insult to the Japanese Empire. However, when the situation developed, the emperor still entered the "Miwenku" surrounded by his servants. Before the bombing began, cabinet prime minister Yoshii Tanaka and other military and political officials came uninvited. Emperor Showa took this opportunity to convene the first meeting of the imperial cabinet in the war after Japan declared war on Germany.

When listening to the reports of Prime Minister Yoshiichi Tanaka and Army Minister Yoshinori Hirokawa, Emperor Showa said nothing and had a serious expression, because it was the first time the royal family entered the bunker to hide in non-exercises, and the tables, chairs and lamps in the "Miwenku" were brand new. The emperor obviously did not have the mood to appreciate these. For this supreme "live god", when the enemy was about to attack his country's capital, he could only hide in this "cave", which was undoubtedly a slap in the face.

Yoshinori Hakura's report has not been completed. Amid the continuous sound of anti-aircraft guns firing and shells exploded, the first completely different loud noise came from a distance. If you can tell carefully, you will know that this is not the sound of a single bomb at all, but the dense cracks and explosions are like a sudden rainstorm.

As the saying goes, the goddess of luck always favors those who are prepared, but when both sides of the war come, the balance of victory always tends to be strong.

Among the Japanese Army’s air defense forces, the largest number of equipment is the Type 88 75mm anti-aircraft gun, which can be used to flat-fire targets and air-to-air, and has a relatively reassuring rate of fire. However, this type of anti-aircraft gun is insufficient to deal with German heavy bombers at a height of 10,000 meters. If the shells were not directly hitting the body, usually the shrapnel alone would not cause fatal damage to the hard appearance of the Donier III ultra-long-range bomber. The Taisho Fourteen-Year-105mm and Type 87 120mm each time the firing of the gun may pose a huge threat to the German bomber, however.

Not only are they small in number, their firing rate is also extremely slow, and the Japanese artillery fire did not receive accurate guidance at all, so there was nothing worthy of praise that night except after shooting down a German bomber at the beginning.

The German bomber group soon received guidance from the last two radio beacons, and bombers who got rid of the Japanese artillery fire opened the bomb bay on the belly, and the sword was unsheathed at a height of 10,000 meters.

At this time, the ground was filled with a shrill air defense alarm. The Tokyo Security Command issued an order to control lights throughout the city early, but this also facilitated some people with misconduct to spread rumors among civilians and create chaos. With the emergence of German bombers, the Security Command ordered the evacuation of residents in the air raid shelters and air raid bunkers. At this time, North Koreans, who also had an oriental face but were hired by Germany, threw grenades and incendiary bombs into the crowded streets, which caused large-scale chaos on the streets. At the same time, some people set fire in major warehouses, shops, rice shops and even oil depots. When German bombers flew over Tokyo, the Japanese security forces, army and fire brigades were still busy extinguishing the fire.

Hearing the sound of German bombing, the ministers sitting in front of the emperor had extremely unnatural expressions, some had anger. Some had dim expressions, some sighed and shook their heads; as for the complex emotions of anger, sadness and shame on the army and naval generals who were responsible for opening up the territory outside and guarding the local lands, most of them were blushing, especially Army Minister Yoshinosaki Miyasuke and Navy Minister Keisuke Okada. The two felt deeply guilty. Prince Miyasuke Ichien, the chief of staff of the Army Base Camp, simply closed his eyes. The four main figures of the Army and Navy only lacked the commander of the Joint Fleet, the commander of the Joint Fleet, who was in charge of Yokosuka Military Port, but the expression of the 18th commander of the Joint Fleet was probably not much better.

As time goes by, explosions outside are one after another, some far and some near. When the volume of the explosion suddenly increases, the huge power of the aviation bomb can be felt in the underground bunker of the imperial palace. The ministers and generals have another concern in their hearts - many of them are wives and children in Tokyo. Although the Tokyo Garrison Command has prepared many air raid shelters and air raid shelters, the role of these fortifications is mainly to appease the people, and their number and size can only accommodate less than one-tenth of the more than 10 million residents in Tokyo.

Gradually, the momentum of the explosion weakened. At this time, an officer in a guard uniform walked in from outside with a serious expression, and then walked straight to the Prime Minister Tanaka Yoshihide, who served as the Minister of Interior, whispered a few words. The officer bowed and turned around and left, while Tanaka's face was obviously even more gloomy. He walked slowly to the emperor. After kneeling and sitting down, he reported in a medium volume: "Your Majesty, the German army used a large amount of incendiary bombs during the bombing, causing fires to be ignited in several places in our Tokyo capital, and more than a hundred civilians unfortunately died in the bombing!"

"Bastard!" The officials below gritted their teeth one by one.

After a full half-minute silence, Emperor Showa said resolutely: "The enemy is unkind and I am unrighteous. In this battle, the Democratic people must experience the divine power of our great Japanese Empire! The two of them should work together to complete the task of capturing the power of sea cucumber within three days and occupying Sakhalin Island within one week!"

"Your Majesty!" Yoshinori Hakura stood up confidently, "Tomorrow, the flag of my Imperial Japanese Army will fly under the power of the sea cucumber!"

"Your Majesty!" Okada Keisuke said unscrupulously, "The Imperial Navy vowed to let the German fleet and Russian Navy follow in the footsteps, and will never be ruthless!"

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, an extremely violent explosion woke them up from their arrogance. The most urgent task now is probably how to defend their homeland, especially the Tokyo capital. At the emperor's instructions, the two sat back in their seats again.

"Your Majesty, will you use special plans to retaliate against Berlin?" Tanaka Yoshiichi whispered.

"But!" The Emperor only said one word, but made a very substantial decision.

Tanaka replied as if he had received a treasure: "Then I'm going to issue an order to the Special Intelligence Department as soon as possible!"

Emperor Showa nodded and turned his eyes to Prince Saihito, who is also a member of the royal family but 34 years older than him. He said calmly in an inquiring tone: "Are the air force that counterattacks ready?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" replied the Prince of Xianyuan Palace, "Everything is ready!"

Showa's emotions were completely calmed down at this time. He thought, blinking his eyes much more frequently than usual. He only spoke again until the explosion outside finally calmed down.

"The war has officially begun, and you must do your best! Tanaka, the aftermath of the bombing is over. Let our people know that the German bombing is only temporary, and the Imperial Army will soon eliminate any factors that can threaten the Tokyo capital and the local people!"

"As for your order, your majesty!" Tanaka replied respectfully.

"How many more nights will be like this?" Showa suddenly said sadly.

At this time, on the sea between Hokkaido and Sakhalin Island, a large group of silver-white painted fighters were flying quickly towards the southern part of Sakhalin Island in faint moonlight. This wave of 182 fighters were all monoplane aircraft, including 152 single-plane single-plane fighters with petite bodies and relatively flexible bodies, with a larger body, and 30 single-plane twin-plane aircraft.

"Team 1 accelerates up, pay attention to covering the bombers of the two teams!" On the pilot Japanese fighter, the commander made the final deployment before the battle through the radio communicator. The German-US, German-Russian wars obtained huge economic and strategic benefits for Germany, and also gave the armies of various countries an object to learn and research. Through analysis, Japanese military aircraft designers and aviation force commanders have realized the importance of radio as a fighter auxiliary tool, but are considered in technical conditions and other aspects.

They only installed radio transceivers on the pick-up machine, and only radio receivers on other wingmen, which means they can only receive commands and cannot express opinions.

Soon, more than a hundred fighter jets quickly climbed upwards, and the rest were still flying at medium and low altitudes less than 200 meters away from the sea. The Japanese pilots did not know that their every move was under the surveillance of German air early warning aircraft and land-based radar at this time.

At various military airports on Sakhalin Island, fighter jets that had been on standby were launched one after another. In less than a quarter of an hour, the Junkers-Henkel i and Messer-Children, and the Black Hawk ii had 233. In addition, there were many Donier 101 medium bombers, and more than a dozen Donier iii bombers used for aerial radar alert took off the fire of war. When the battle started, few German fighters were still staying at the airport.

When the German fighter jets that were taking off to fight bravely rushed towards the Japanese aircraft fleet, the anti-aircraft artillery fire around the radar warning station in the southernmost part of Sakhalin Island also began to fire. At the airports, ports and transportation hubs on the island, there were also a large number of HK23 quad-mounted 13mm large-caliber air defense machine guns made by Krupp, HK22 dual-mounted 20mm anti-aircraft machine guns, HK19 single-mounted 37mm anti-aircraft guns, HK24 dual-mounted 37mm anti-aircraft guns, and Fa18 manufactured by Ihart Company

The 75mm vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft gun, the FA23 semi-crawler armored vehicle equipped with a four-unit 20mm anti-aircraft machine gun, and the FG21 88mm anti-aircraft gun of Jiji's arms, and the FG23 fully crawler armored vehicle equipped with a single-unit 88mm anti-aircraft gun waiting for the visit of Japanese fighter jets. These air defense weapons, regardless of their performance and maneuverability, are far beyond the Japanese army's imagination. More importantly, the German air defense forces have gradually applied radar technology to anti-aircraft gun shooting guidance. This battle is destined to be without suspense before it even began.

After the German bomber group left, Tokyo continued to burn with crying sounds. Although most of the bombs carried by the German bomber group were high-explosion bombs, it had the greatest destructive power to deal with the urban area of ​​Tokyo, which was mainly made of wooden buildings. Cooperating with the impact of a large number of high-explosion bombs on the momentum, the morale of the Japanese military and civilians was a blow at the beginning of the war.

Although the imperial residence in Tokyo was not directly bombed, looking at the burning city and the thick smoke, Emperor Showa and his military and political officials obviously had no mood at all. German bombers flew away, but bad news followed one after another. In Shikoku and Hokkaido, the bombs of the German bomber group also brought great pain to the Japanese residents there. The number of people who died directly from the bombing exceeded 3,400, hundreds of people died due to the fire, and thousands of people were homeless after the bombing. About an hour later, the battle on Sakhalin Island ended. After receiving the report from his subordinates, Tanaka told the emperor nervously that half of the Japanese fighter planes attacked were shot down, and the results were unknown, but their courage would definitely make the Germans feel timid. In addition, the second wave of fighters was preparing to attack again while the German bomber group returned and landed.

After staying alone for a long time, Showa only said four words: "Fight to the end!"
