Chapter 655: Target Cleared

More than a dozen smoke canisters continued to spew out rich gases, slowly forming a yellow-green gas wave more than one person high, and they walked tightly to the ground, and under the impetus of the wind, they pounced on the inner castle of Edo Castle, and covered the Honmaru where Tokugawa Iemitsu lived, as well as the small half of the inner castle.

In this era, in the face of severe poison, there are no precautions at all, and even if the person who is poisoned does not die, there is no treatment method, and the person who inhales the chlorine gas can only die in pain.

The special weapons developed by the Far East are not simple industrial chlorine gas, which was added by the Ministry of Chemical Industry, and its toxicity is much more powerful than the chlorine gas released in the European poison gas war in World War I.

Moreover, the chlorine gas was cast in the early hours of the morning, and when the yellow-green gas filled the Honmaru, most of the people, including Tokugawa Iemitsu, were sleeping, and many died on tatami mats without even having a chance to escape.

The yellow-green gas that permeated the inner city was finally discovered by the samurai guarding the inner city. But they were all stunned, and they were at a loss for what to do. But then an unbearable, intense, pungent smell brought the warriors back to life, sneezing, coughing, and crying, and then feeling that the air was gone, as if they had fallen into a big stuffy jar.

After a while, one by one, the samurai of the Tokugawa family began to suffocate and fall to the ground. When the retainers and samurai who came later saw this scene, they were also frightened, which was also too terrifying. I don't know who turned around and ran first, but anyway, the rest of the people dropped their weapons and scrambled to run back.

At this time, the two airships in the air had risen to a safe height, and Ding Weiguo and Song Tao stood on the airships, constantly observing the situation in the inner city of Edo. Judging by the chlorine application, the effect is very good. Honmaru and completely covered by special weapons, in this era of Japan, even if it can survive this special weapon raid without dying. There was no cure for it, so he could only die in agony.

Song Tao put down the night vision binoculars and smiled at Ding Weiguo: "It seems that we have been very successful this time, and the effect is also very good, it should be regarded as completing the task." ”

Ding Weiguo nodded and said: "Our Air Force airboat detachment has gone through several live-fire drills, in an environment that exceeds today's wind power. The lethal effect is extremely obvious. After the gas dissipates, I don't dare to say what the damage of the inner city will be, but I dare to guarantee that the people in Honmaru, including Tokugawa Iemitsu, will not escape the fate of death. ”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and shouted in front of the airship pod: "Mission over, return ......"

The pilot who received the order hurriedly adjusted the direction, and the two airships began to accelerate slowly, slowly flying towards the southwest. Slowly disappearing into the darkness of the night.

At Tanegashima Airship Takeoff and Landing, Li Ming, Zhou Billy and others were anxiously waiting for news. They had nothing to worry about this operation, after all, in the months leading up to the operation, the Far East had made a lot of preparations, and several live-fire drills had been carried out alone. But there are accidents in everything, and before the news came back from the airship detachment, everyone didn't take it lightly.

Li Ming, Zhou Billy and others sat there smoking cigarettes one by one, and Zhou Billy threw the cigarette fart on the ground. He stepped on it with his foot and twisted it a few times, and then said to Li Ming: "Commander." Shall I contact the Japanese intelligence station? ”

"No, they may not be able to grasp the actual news now, so let's wait for Song Tao and them to come back. Don't worry, according to the news from the Japanese intelligence war, the wind and wind speed in Edo today are very beneficial for us to drop special weapons. Their actions will certainly succeed. ”

A few hours later, just as everyone was dozing off, the communicator next to him suddenly shouted: "Commander, the airship detachment is calling......

Li Ming sat up and rushed to the side of the radio station in a few steps. picked up the microphone and said in a deep voice: "I am Li Ming......"

"Report to the commander, I am Ding Weiguo, the commander of the special detachment of the airboat, all the targets have been cleared, the effect is good, I request to return, I request to return to the ......"

Li Ming let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Return as planned......"

He put down the microphone, and an indescribable exhaustion suddenly rose in his body, and Zhou Billy and Hu Guosheng surrounded him, looking at him with burning eyes. Li Ming smiled and said, "The operation was very successful, and the airship detachment has returned." ”

Everyone was very excited when they heard what he said. If Tokugawa Iemitsu died, Japan would definitely be in chaos. It was time for the Far Eastern Intelligence Department to implement the next plan, and it seemed that a civil war in Japan was inevitable.

Li Ming saw that everyone was quite tired, so he smiled and said, "You haven't slept all night, go back and get a good night's sleep." Tomorrow night, I invite you to go to heaven and earth to relax. ”

After listening to Li Ming's words, everyone laughed, and then went back to rest.

Billy Zhou walked over, took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Ming, and then said: "Next, our intelligence department is busy, should I go to Japan to take it for a while, I am not there, I am always not at ease." ”

Li Ming took a puff of his cigarette, then nodded and said, "You can go if you want, I'll ask Song Tao to send two special station members to follow you." Try to keep the balance of all sides in Japan and let them fight desperately. But before we enter Japan from the Far East, we must find a way to get rid of the emperor. ”

Billy Zhou spit out a cigarette, and then said: "This is also the meaning of our intelligence department, if we want to completely solve Japan, then we can't be in a hurry, it will take a while to prepare, and we will go in again when it is broken, which can save a lot of trouble." There is also North Korea, the Ministry of Intelligence is about to take action, now let the indigenous scourge of the Outer Northeast go first, and when we gain a foothold in the north of Korea, we will find a way to clean them up. ”

In the early morning, the chlorine gas in the inner castle of Edo had long since dissipated, but the many retainers and samurai of the Tokugawa family who surrounded the inner castle still did not dare to enter the Honmaru area. It wasn't until dawn that a group of samurai rushed into Honmaru wrapped in wet towels.

After a while, they ran out, and several of the samurai burst into tears. Many of the Tokugawa family's retainers also rushed into the inner castle Honmaru, but they were taken aback by what they saw inside.

When they arrived at Tokugawa Iemitsu's residence, they saw that Tokugawa Iemitsu had died on a tatami mat. There was a heart-rending cry from Edojo Honmaru.

Not only did the shogun die, but nearly 1,000 people were poisoned by chlorine gas, along with Honmaru, Ooku, and the inner castle. There are also hundreds of people who were poisoned and did not die, who were also tortured for several days, and finally died one after another.

Not only that, but several of the daimyo of the Tokugawa shogunate also died in their respective feudal castles last night, along with his family members and powerful retainers, and the Tokugawa family suffered heavy losses overnight, and almost all of them died in the early hours of this morning.
