As the Chinese offensive intensified, the resistance in Tokyo gradually became weaker

As more and more areas became controlled by Chinese forces, large numbers of resisting Japanese soldiers and civilians were killed or taken prisoner, and the Battle of Tokyo drew to a close as the end of June approached.

Now, the Chinese are starting to set their sights on the Imperial Palace of Japan.

Here, the puppet "emperor" of Japan lives, and here it can be seen as the spiritual support of the Japanese people. Only by capturing this place can the end of the Battle of Tokyo be announced.

However, this is something that does not seem to be easy. Inside and outside the Imperial Palace, an entire division, the strength of the Japanese First Division, was placed, as well as a large number of Japanese citizens who spontaneously rushed to defend the "Emperor".

"You have to rush." Rao Guohua muttered helplessly.

"You have to rush." Masahiro Suzuki, chairman of the "Democratic Republic of Japan," who had just arrived in Tokyo, also muttered.

Victory is in sight, and that's what excites Masahiro Suzuki the most.

After so many years of struggle, so many years of hard work, now it seems that everything is worth it.

Soon, the sky in Japan will change

"Report!" Zhang Lingfu, who went to negotiate with the Japanese, walked back: "The Japanese palace guards refuse to surrender!" ”

"Oh, got one." Rao Guohua, who had already expected it, said a faint "oh": "Order, all departments prepare, and launch a strong attack in an hour!" ”

Masahiro Suzuki and Sukeyuki Yamamoto glanced at each other excitedly, and the long-awaited moment was coming. Sukeyuki Yamamoto waved his fist: "General, please allow the Red Army to complete this sacred mission!" ”

Rao Guohua hesitated, then nodded slowly. That's fine, at least you can test the reality of the Japanese palace guard force first..

On June 27, 1937, the Battle of the Imperial Palace of Japan began!

This is the last thing the Japanese want to see, in front of the "sacred" Japanese Imperial Palace, a war actually broke out!

The Imperial Palace of Japan is the residence of the puppet "emperor" of Japan, and was built in 1590 by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate. This 23,000-square-meter traditional Japanese building has a boulder foundation that ranges from one person to tens of meters above the ground. The stones were all enshrined in the local "daimyo" of that year.

In the hearts of the Japanese, this is a place of "sacrosanctity", but it is in this "sacrosanct" place that war finally broke out.

Directly commanding the battle was Lieutenant General Kyopu Kawamura, commander of the 1st Japanese Division, who was ready to die here.

The armed forces of the "Democratic Republic of Japan" "Red Army" launched the first wave of attacks under the cover of Chinese artillery.

The Japanese regard the Imperial Palace as "sacrosanct", but for Chinese, there are no such concerns. They don't think about the history of the palace, and they don't think about who lives in it.

All they want is victory, just an early end to the fight, and anything else is secondary to them. One

And every time the cannon is fired, the hearts of the Japanese guarding inside and outside the palace will be tense, this is a "holy place" with a long history!

The Red Army, supported by Chinese artillery, continued to launch attacks again and again, but under the resistance of the 1st Division and the spontaneously organized Japanese nationals, the attacks failed again and again.

The Japanese and the Japanese are desperate!

Suzuki Masahiro, who personally came to Tokyo to supervise the war, was furious, and the Red Army, who had high hopes for him, did not give face to the chairman. …,

Now he must do something to establish his prestige in front of the Japanese. Japan will soon have a new dynasty, and only an authoritative government can rule Japan better.

And even angrier than Masahiro Suzuki are Hirohito and Fumi Konoe.

How dare Masahiro Suzuki and his Red Army do such a thing!

Don't they know that this is the Imperial Palace?

Kawamura Gongpu hurriedly walked in, and before he could speak, Konoe Wen had already preemptively asked, "How is the situation?" ”

"Report to Your Majesty, report to Lord Duke, the enemy's attack is very ferocious." Kyopu Kawamura gasped, "The enemy has absolutely superior artillery fire, and we are very fierce, but the soldiers have shown great courage and have repelled eight enemy charges so far. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, as long as the 1st Division is still there, we will never let the enemy move forward! ”

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, go and do your best." Hirohito said with his eyes closed.

Kyopu Kawamura walked out, and Hirohito opened his eyes and glanced at Konoe Fumi, sighing, but unable to say anything.

Things have come to this point, what else is there to say.

The ninth attack of the Red Army was repulsed by a .

Masahiro Suzuki reprimanded Torajiro Kigoshi, the former commander-in-chief of the Red Army, and he couldn't figure out why he couldn't take this last step when he saw that victory was within reach.

"I've asked for two tanks to help!" Masahiro Suzuki suppressed some of his anger slightly: "Two tanks, attack, attack, bring Hirohito and Konoe Fumito to me!" ”

"Hello!" Torajiro, who also felt deeply humiliated, replied loudly.

A new offensive began.

Two Chinese tanks have become the most relied on weapons of the Red Army, and now what they have to do is how to make a gap in the tight defense line outside the Japanese Imperial Palace as soon as possible!

The 1st Infantry Wing of the 1st Division, which defended the outermost area, used all means to block the tank advance.

Grenadiers, grenades, Molotov cocktails. They used almost every means at their disposal. The first tank was destroyed, and the tank crew quickly got out of the tank, only to be lucky not to become a prisoner under the frantic cover of light and heavy machine guns behind.

"Fuck, the Japanese are going crazy." The commander who returned to his position scolded angrily: "It's just a fatal rush towards the tank, and those damn civilians are the same!" ”

Zhang Lingfu smiled: "If the Japanese tanks appear in our capital, we will also fight so hard."

The attack continued, and the remaining tank managed to destroy a Japanese machine-gun position, and the Red Army, lacking the threat of machine guns, rushed into the position, and began a wanton massacre against their own compatriots like crazy!

When the Japanese killed the Japanese, they were far more brutal.

They desperately stabbed their fellow citizens with bayonets, then cut off their heads, waving them high, as if to mentally intimidate the rest of the enemy.

A burst of machine-gun bullets swept in, knocking down several Red soldiers, and as a result, this moment angered all the Red soldiers who rushed to the position.

The muzzle of the tank was aimed there, and then there was a "boom", and in the cheers of the Red Army, another machine-gun position was muted

The battle continues.

Although the speed of the advance was not very fast, the Red Army was still trying to advance inch by inch. So far in the battle, there is no longer much suspense about the outcome of the battle, the key is when and in what form to achieve victory. …,

After a whole day of fierce fighting, the 1st Infantry Wing of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army suffered almost all casualties, but they still did not stop the attack of the Red Army, and the positions they defended completely fell into the hands of the enemy.

"Nine hundred and twenty casualties."

Kigoshi Torajiro's words came out, and he was already interrupted impatiently by Masahiro Suzuki: "What I want is not casualties, don't report to me how many people have died, what I want is victory, victory!" ”

"Hello!" Kigoshi Torajiro bowed his head.

The pessimistic atmosphere in the palace is getting stronger and stronger!

The 1st Infantry Wing had done its best, but they still did not resist the enemy's attack. Maybe tomorrow, the enemy will appear in the palace.

What they are doing now is only doing their last duty as soldiers.

"Your Majesty, it's time to encourage the soldiers and civilians who are still fighting." Konoe said.

Hirohito stood up numbly, at this time he was like a person who had lost his soul, everything was so mechanical.

He walked out and saw that the palace was full of wounded, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which made people smell cramps in their stomachs.

I never thought that war would be so terrible, and I never thought that I would die so much

"Your Majesty!" Seeing the "emperor" come out, those Japanese shouted loudly in unison.

Hirohito's tears are about to flow, and now, is this the only strength he can rely on? What a sad thing, what a sad thing.

"Work hard, fight hard for one." It took a long time for Hirohito to say such a sentence.

"For Your Majesty, fight to the end!" The Japanese said in unison.

"My emperor is prosperous, thousands of generations; gravel into rocks, covered with moss; "I don't know who sang Japan's national anthem "Kimi-no-yo".

This attracted a chorus of echoes, singing and singing, and some people couldn't help but cry out loud.

"My emperor is prosperous, thousands of generations; gravel into rocks, covered with moss; Long-term peace and stability, the country is rich and the people are one." Hirohito and Konoe were also singing there, and their tears couldn't help but flow.

It's over, it's time for everything to end. The destruction of Japan is already at hand.

There is no room for salvation, there is no one who can save Japan anymore, this is their destined fate!
