Age of Rebirth

Chapter 720 The Troubled Emperor Hirohito

The Nanjing air defense battle was fought to the most intense level. In order to save the face of the so-called great Chinese Empire's air eagles, the Air Forces of the First and Third Fleets of the Japanese Navy dispatched more than a hundred aircraft every day. Differential bombing was carried out on all the targets in Nanjing City. The Japanese pilots who had fallen into a state of madness, when the plane was hit, drove the plane with black smoke and flames, rushed to the ground air defense firepower point, and turned themselves into a bomb. Human body fried.

This kind of desperado style of play caused great casualties to the guards. However, Tang Qiuli was secretly happy. How many planes did the Japanese have that could be used in this way? He ordered all the troops to do so at any cost. With the sole goal of shooting down Japanese aircraft, the soldiers of the Central Army who were rewarded both mentally and materially, and their morale was boosted, broke out with unprecedented combat effectiveness, and did not let the Japanese aircraft take too much advantage.

Some firepower teams with flexible brains also invented an effective way to avoid being killed by Japanese suicide planes. Several firepower teams cooperated with each other to directly blow up the Japanese planes in the air. The battle was unprecedentedly fierce. Day and night passed through the strange howls of Japanese aircraft. On the fifth day, the Japanese Naval Air Force finally couldn't hold on. And bombers also filled the huge hole in Nanjing airspace.

***Aircraft Air Force has been unable to organize a decent bombing operation. Looking at the empty flight deck of the aircraft carrier, there are only more than [-] planes that were injured and flew back by luck. The two fleet commanders wanted to cry. It is said that the air teams of the First and Third Fleets have been disabled. They cannot believe that the bombing operation lasted six days before and after. . [

What kind of city is this? Millions of ordinary citizens, facing the bombing and strafing of nearly a hundred planes every day, are actually moved. When did the will of the Chinese people become so tenacious? , also to the point of exhaustion, each anti-aircraft firepower team lost one-fifth of the losses. Although the city of Nanjing was not turned into ruins, it was still full of rubble. More than half of the city's buildings were blown up, and more than 1 troops were killed , This is the independent division Huangyadong air defense brigade played the backbone role.

Tang Qiuli couldn't imagine whether the city of Nanjing would still exist without his own troops. At this price, Tang Qiuli commanded the Nanjing Air Defense Force, which is mainly composed of the Central Army's air defense forces and independent divisions, and wrung out * ** The last drop of blood of the First and Third Fleet Air Forces of the Navy has shot down more than [-] Japanese bombers and fighter jets, more than one-tenth of the air power of the *** at that time. It is an unbearable loss.

During the six-day Nanjing air defense battle, Tang Qiuli spent 10,000+ yuan from the ocean to reward the soldiers and officers of the Central Army who achieved victories. In a sad place, I originally wanted to destroy the Chinese capital and bomb Nanjing to crush the Chinese people's will to resist, but I didn't expect that what was crushed was my own confidence and courage.

During the air defense battle, Gao Zhihang's destroyer unit asked for orders several times to participate in the air battle, but Tang Qiuli did not approve it. He wanted to keep Gao Zhihang's unit to deal the final fatal blow to the Japanese, and it was ready to fight again The Japanese navy fleet with all its strength had no choice but to truthfully report the failure of the bombing of Nanjing and the heavy losses of the air force to the Ministry of the Navy.

The matter could no longer be concealed. Once it was reported, it caused an uproar in the headquarters of the Communist Party of China. For a while, the navy became the object of ridicule in the military circles of the Communist Party of China. Emperor Hirohito was extremely furious and lost more than 400 planes. I was so distressed that I almost vomited blood. It was piled up with a lot of money. The lives of 1 Chinese people are not worth an airplane. Is it easy to accumulate so much money for the army and navy air force? In order to build these As for the plane, Emperor Hirohito almost sold all the money, so Empress Liangzi sold herself to spend the night with the heads of state to earn some loose silver to subsidize the national treasury.

The emperor was furious, and the consequences were very serious. Someone must be responsible for such a fiasco. After a decree came down, the commanders of the First and Third Fleets of the Navy immediately committed suicide by caesarean section to thank the people. Originally, Emperor Hirohito wanted to cut off these two stupid pigs In order to take care of the face of the navy, so as not to be trampled under the feet of the army, the emperor's grace is mighty, extra merciful, and gave them a decent way of death. All senior officers above the rank of major general were dismissed on the spot, and the two fleets returned to the mainland Rest, Lord of the Admiralty and Minister of the Navy, dismissed and retained.

While crossing the ocean, the 10,000+ army units that were renamed from the former North China Dispatch Army to the Nanjing Dispatch Army are floating on the sea at this time, thinking that the Navy will take the lead and the Army can pick up a cheap Army Department in Nanjing. Now he hesitates. They were terrified by the results of the last battle in Shanghai, and asked the base camp whether to cancel the original plan, and the troops returned to the mainland.

Before the Minister of War could finish his speech, Emperor Hirohito was in a state of berserk, and his dragon eyes shot out a cold light like a beast, and he approached this guy who made him almost have a heart attack step by step. It went well, North China saw that it was not safe, four 10,000+ troops were surrounded by the troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli in the narrow area between Cangzhou and Tianjin, and the troops of the Kwantung Army going south were blocked on the Shanhaiguan line. He was a guy who was afraid of death. Before the attack on Nanjing, the capital of China, started, he was thinking about running for his life.

The terrified Minister of War saw that the situation was not good. He had experienced His Majesty's donkey temper more than once. He was a dog-faced person who changed as he said, and when His Majesty's royal hand hadn't kissed his cheek, he Punish yourself with a few loud slaps, and then quickly withdraw, ordering to go down, must attack Shanghai and Nanjing according to the original plan, and the troops sent to Nanjing had to continue to advance to an unknown distance.

Emperor Hirohito is of course absolutely right, when did I make a mistake?He has no responsibility, the responsibility is all those stupid pigs and idiots under his command. After being scolded and slapped by the emperor, the Secretary of the Navy and the Minister of the Navy were so angry that they were ridiculed by several army generals when they went out. The man was too disappointing, and vented all his anger on the subordinates, and made a ruthless plan to perform major surgery within the navy.

As a result, a large-scale personnel adjustment was carried out within the *** Navy. There was a big change of blood and a reshuffle of power. For half a lifetime, a large number of fanatical, militant and ambitious young officers climbed to high positions and occupied all major departments of the Japanese Navy. The outstanding general of the Japanese Navy, Lieutenant General Yamamoto 56, came into people's sight and boarded the ranks. into the arena of aggressive warfare.

The Naval Air Force broke its wings over Nanjing, two fleet commanders cut themselves open, and a large number of senior generals lost their hats. For a while, everyone in the navy was in danger, and the wind was jittery. The attack on the Chinese navy was huge. The generals had no choice but to behave like men with their tails between their legs, and secretly gritted their teeth. They wanted to find the lost dignity of the Chinese people, pick up the face that fell on the ground and was stepped on by the army, and beat the army with a huge victory. Those arrogant guys gave His Majesty the emperor a slap in the face with a loud slap, and restored the prestige of the navy.

Tang Qiuli plucked the feathers on the wings of the Naval Air Force over Nanjing, and turned them into dead chickens. The Army Air Force finally got its chance. Commander Nishimuraemon of the Army Air Force stationed in Taiwan is an extremely belligerent A fanatical militarist with the rank of major general, he watched those guys in the Naval Air Force fight hard and anxiously over Nanjing every day, but the navy refused to let them intervene.

He was so anxious that he was in his forties, his face was full of pimples, and a wave of evil fire was beating in his heart. At night, he tossed his wife until his whole body was blue and purple. Ten girls, during the day, apart from yelling at those eyeless subordinates and beating up a few unlucky ghosts, they sent telegrams one after another to the headquarters to invite war. The boss looked unhappy.

After receiving the order from the base camp, Nishimuraemon's adrenal hormones rose sharply. He first yelled in the direction of Japan: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor," and then jumped into the Zero fighter, rushing to reincarnate , the first to take off into the sky, behind his plane are ninety bombers and 52 fighters of the Taiwan Army Air Force in Taiwan, which is the entire force of the West Village Army Air Force.

The Naval Air Force suffered a disastrous defeat, and Nishimura Youemon knew it very well. The Army has always spared no effort to exaggerate the failure of the Navy. Conversely, the Navy did the same. However, Nishimura did not take it seriously. It was the Navy. Those idiots are not the Nishimura Air Force. According to his vision, Nanjing will soon become a ruin. If you are lucky, you can also kill the Chinese soldiers in other places. Viciously rushed towards Nanjing.

Tang Qiuli walked out of the underground headquarters where he had stayed for five days and five nights. The dazzling sunlight made him dizzy. He stroked the prickly stubble of his beard and smiled at himself. The fresh air mixed with the faint fragrance of lilacs outside made him feel comfortable. Breathing in the lungs full of tobacco smell, the tired nerves are refreshed. The sky of Nanjing in June is blue and clear. Perhaps, there will be no more terrorist planes roaring overhead.

He knew very well that the fierce fighting these days had dealt a fatal blow to the Japanese Naval Air Force. What he was thinking about was the urgent telegram he had just received from Chairman Jiang from Wuhan. Stretching comfortably, a communications staff officer hastily ran out of the underground headquarters and shouted: "Commander-in-Chief, the radar has spotted a large number of Japanese aircraft!"
