Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 160 Tokyo Massacre (7)
In a dark room, three celebrities are sitting next to each other.

"Why don't you attack? These beasts are slaughtering my people!!" Emperor Meiji had completely lost his mind.

"Your Majesty, half of Tokyo City has been razed to the ground. There is no cover. If we rush out like this, we will undoubtedly become the target of the Qing army, but our subordinates have already set up their defenses. As long as they dare to come in, we will call them Blood debt is paid in blood!" Major General Inoue said viciously.

"Your Majesty, it's better to break through. We retreat to Hokkaido and hope to make a comeback. The artillery of the Qing army can razed the south of the city to the ground, and it can also destroy the tiles here. Only breaking through is the only way!" Ito Bowen is still struggling to persuade.

"Ito-kun, you are showing cowardice! How come the Ito family is so cowardly in your generation?" Major General Inoue roared at Ito Hirobumi.

Ito Hirobumi saw that this bloody general had no military acumen at all, so he was lazy to argue with him, and continued to say to Emperor Meiji: "Emperor, the Qing army has now surrounded the city of Tokyo. And all the emperors around Tokyo The army was pinned down by the Qing army. They didn’t lack time at all. They could blow up the entire Tokyo to the ground bit by bit and move forward step by step. There was no so-called street fighting at all, because there were no alleys at all. The place they attacked was flat ground. All they killed were soldiers or civilians who had been wounded! So breaking through is the only way at present."

Emperor Meiji stared at Ito Hirobumi as if he was about to swallow him, and shouted: "Ito-kun, are you the staff officer of the Qing army? Why do you know the tactics that they didn't think of? I said, I will follow My people will live and die, I will live and die with Tokyo, and I will not leave here."

"Your Majesty" Ito Hirobumi is still trying to persuade.

"Pull him out, Emperor Meiji didn't give him a chance to continue talking." Emperor Meiji shouted to the door.

Two expressionless guards dragged out Ito Hirobumi, who was still persistently persuading him.

"General Inoue, how sure are you that you can keep the Qing army in the south of the city? As long as you can hold out for ten days and a half months, their food and grass will be in short supply. Our navy has already destroyed their supply lines, and they will definitely not be able to raise them in the short term." More food is coming." Emperor Meiji was still fantasizing about turning the corner.

"Your Majesty, let alone ten days and a half months, as long as the Qing army dares to step into the area I am defending, they will never come back." Major General Inoue, as the guard force of Tokyo, has lived in the unreal world of invincibility all year round. .As a frog in a well, he didn't know that the equipment of the Qing Army is now top-notch in the world, especially the mortars that are known for their dexterity.

"Don't underestimate the enemy. General Nakamura's defense on Mt. Fuji is impenetrable. He also said that it would be no problem to defend it for a year or so, but it was captured by the Qing army in one night." Emperor Meiji was somewhat self-aware.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Nakamura family does not have a decent commander. I will definitely restore the glorious image of the Great Imperial Army!" Inoue assured, patting his chest.

"Boom" "Boom"

The dark and gloomy hut trembled for a while, and then dust and sand fell down one after another, and at the same time, the horrible explosion sounded all around.

"Don't be alarmed, Your Majesty, go down and have a look." After speaking, Inoue hurriedly turned and left.

In the ruins in the south of the city, the artillery battalion of the Second Division of the Qing Army was dressed in neat white clothes for the sake of the two princes of the Qing Dynasty, Zuo Zongtang and Weng Tongsu, as well as Feng Zicai, the commander who had just died.

"Fang" Cai Ning was single-handedly promoted by Feng Zicai, and he admires and respects Feng Zicai, just like his own father.Now that his life was taken away by a small bullet, can he not let him be sad and angry?
"The target is 500 meters in front, let it go!" Cai Ning kept changing the elements, turning all the bungalows in front of him into flat ground, and soldiers were swept out by the air waves from time to time.

"Look, the little devils are waiting for us there!" Xu Bangdao said, pointing to those unremarkable bungalows.

"Yeah, look, Brigadier Commander, there's a machine gun in that well!" Chen Shanyuan also watched with enthusiasm.

"The little devil thinks he's smart, and he's still here trying to ambush us!" Xu Bangdao turned around and left the observation room, picked up a water glass and drank a couple of sips. For the past two days, he has relied on drinking water and eating some dry food. You are capable, you are worthy of getting some A’s in Germany, and if you enter the city, we will not be allowed to enter the place that has not been bombed. If you let your kid lead the army, I don’t know how many brothers will die.”

"Hey, hey, what do I know? I'm an idiot, and I don't have any other thoughts in my life if I can follow the brigade commander. Now it's blown up again, let's pick up all the ready-made ones. Hahaha." Chen Shanyuan has not just started The lost, excited expression has climbed his face.

"Okay, let the brothers get ready, we have to clean up the battlefield." Xu Bangdao returned to the observation room.

"Yes." Chen Shanyuan hurried out.

The same queue, the same technique, almost replicated the massacre after entering the city.With an overwhelming momentum, the Qing army completely and completely defeated all forces that wanted to resist.

This time, there were more soldiers among the ruins.The arrogant Major General Inoue had already been buried in the ruins and left the world that was not suitable for him at all.

In a small area with a total diameter of only 10 kilometers, more than 7 soldiers and civilians were killed by bombing, gunshots, and collapsed houses.Some of those people were holding kitchen knives, some were holding Japanese samurai swords, some were holding rifles, machine guns, and even teenagers holding iron bars.They were ready for street fighting with the Qing army, but the Qing army easily sent them to see their God without any casualties.

"The troops continue to move forward, the artillery positions will move forward, and General Feng's headquarters will also enter the city." Another signal soldier came to Xu Bangdao who was covered in blood and said.

Of course the blood is all human.

"Understood." Xu Bangdao turned to Chen Shanyuan and said, "Damn it, I can't do this job. I'm starving to death."

"Brigade Commander, you haven't eaten much these days. Eat some meat at night, what's the matter? Are you going to become a monk?" Chen Shanyuan asked suspiciously.

Xu Bangdao suddenly regained his energy, and cursed: "You are heartless, you have killed so many people and still eat so deliciously, I can't eat meat, it's disgusting to look at!"

"I killed a devil! Why can't I eat anything? I didn't kill a good person." Chen Shanyuan said confidently.

"Okay, okay, did you hear the order? You gather your regiment first and continue to move forward. I have to go slowly." Xu Bangdao bent over and said.

"Understood, Brigadier, take more rest and take care of your health. I'll go first." Chen Shanyuan was most excited to hear this.

"You son of a bitch, don't think that you can mess around if you don't have military discipline for three days. Let me tell you, the emperor is going to be captured alive, understand?" Xu Bangdao quickly reminded.

"Don't worry, brigade commander, the emperor's guards must have some fighting power. I'll understand as soon as we fight, we must catch a living emperor and come back, and give our brigade commander a face!" Chen Shanyuan shouted as he walked.

"Stinky boy, get out, don't let me see you." Xu Bangdao cursed with a smile.

After the 12th regiment was assembled, it continued to advance northwestward.

"Your Majesty, you have to leave." A soldier with a deadpan expression said.

"No, where is General Inoue? Where is he? Let him come to see me." Emperor Meiji yelled.

"Your Majesty, the general is no longer able to come to see you. He has already sacrificed his life for the army!" The soldier said with a blank expression, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

"What? He died? Didn't he say that he mobilized the people to fight against the Qing soldiers? Didn't 10 people lie in ambush there? How long has it been? Why is it all over?" Emperor Meiji looked suspicious.

"Yes, Your Majesty. General Ito asked us to take you away. You are the great hope. Tokyo can live without you, but you cannot live without." The soldier said indifferently.

"No, I swear to live and die with Tokyo!! I will not leave Tokyo!!" Emperor Meiji continued madly like a lunatic.

"Your Majesty, if you don't leave, the Qing army will come up. Their vanguard has already attacked less than 10 kilometers away from here." The soldier showed a little nervous look.

"Then, all I have to do is to die and apologize." After finishing speaking, Emperor Meiji picked up the dagger in his hand and stabbed himself in the abdomen.

"His Majesty"

The soldier had already grabbed Emperor Meiji's wrist. After all, he was a soldier who had undergone strict training. With a little force in his palm, Emperor Meiji's wrist was painful. With a "bang", the dagger fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty, come with me. General Ito has already deployed troops to break through to the north to attract the firepower of the Qing army. Let's go west." The soldiers pulled Emperor Meiji away.

"No, no, I'm not leaving. I want to defeat the Qing army, I want to kill the Qing people, all the Qing people!" Emperor Meiji may have been greatly stimulated, and he was already a little demented.

"Ka Ka, Ka Ka" a burst of machine gun fire put the 12th Regiment of the Fourth Brigade of the Second Division on the march in a state of intense combat readiness.

"Where to shoot? Where to shoot?" Chen Shanyuan asked hastily.

"Reporting to the head of the regiment, a large number of Japanese troops have appeared in the north of the city and are preparing to break out of the city. The 15th Regiment of the 45th Brigade of the 136th Division is blocking it!" a signal soldier reported.

"Damn it, it's bad, the little devil wants to run. Hurry up, aim for the north of the city, run forward!" Chen Shanyuan ordered.

"Yes." The communications soldier immediately conveyed the order to the battalions.

The entire 12th regiment hurried towards the north of the city, and the 15th and 137th regiments of the 138th division outside the city also quickly approached the north of the city.

The number of breakout troops is quite large, the establishment of a whole brigade.There were 7000 people, but under the suppression of the powerful artillery and machine guns of the Qing soldiers, the Japanese soldiers who rushed out became living targets. There was no chance to get out alive, and they fell to the ground with grim faces.

The breakout lasted for 2 hours, and the north of the city was already full of corpses, the difference being that most of them were soldiers.But in these 2 hours, Emperor Meiji had quietly left Tokyo under the escort of his guards.

Perhaps his departure will make the Qing army in the city even more slaughtered without fear, because with him, he has to think about it before killing people. Could this person be the emperor?

"Report, the 3th Division reported that the defensive position of the 136th regiment in the north of the city was attacked by the breakout army three hours ago. The army has a brigade organization. It has no heavy weapons and successfully wiped out the Japanese army with the assistance of friendly troops. However, during the period, there was a The small army broke through the defense in the west of the city and fled to Hokkaido." A signal soldier reported the truth to Feng Xianghua.

"Hehe, attacking the east and attacking the west is a strategy in my Chinese grandson's art of war, and the little devil can actually make it. But the little devil must not know that there is a saying in the Qing Dynasty that a monk who runs can't run away from the temple. Give me orders, so you don't have to be timid anymore. Raze Tokyo to the ground. Not a single blade of grass will be left." Feng Xianghua said viciously.

"Yes." The communications soldier hurried away again.

It was another day of massacres. The Qing army killed everyone they saw, and bombed people's houses.For three whole days and three nights, the huge city of Tokyo could not get a minute of silence. The sound of gunshots, cannons, screams, and groans interweaved into a tragic human tragedy.

Now it has been five days since the fourth brigade of the second division of the first army entered the city. During these five days, there were no less than 10 times of collective burning of corpses. Wherever the troops went, they really did not leave a blade of grass, humans or animals. situation.

It cannot be said that they are cruel, it can only be said that the execution ability of this army is quite strong.

"Brigade Commander, when are we going to withdraw?" Chen Shanyuan couldn't bear the daily slaughter, and mechanically pulled the trigger.

"Damn it, why are you asking me? When it's time to fight, you scream more fiercely than anyone else. Now that you've killed enough, you want to leave? Go, you go ask General Feng." Xu Bangdao cursed.

"Brigade Commander, General Feng is trying to avenge his father. Is it inappropriate for me to ask now? But how long will it be a good idea to kill like this? Are you really going to kill everyone in Tokyo?" Chen Shanyuan asked suspiciously .

"Hey, looking at the posture, even if you don't kill them all, you won't be able to keep many people. Have you calculated how many people have been killed by the army after entering the city?" Xu Bangdao asked after drinking his saliva.

"I haven't calculated it carefully, but it must be more than 20. The first day was 21, the second day was [-], the third day was [-], and the fourth day was [-]. Today, counting the ones that were just burned, there are [-]. , a total of [-] people." Chen Shanyuan counted with his fingers.

Xu Bangdao was also taken aback, "There are so many people? Let's go here today and let the troops rest where they are. Let's see what General Feng has to say tomorrow."

"Okay, I can't kill it anymore." Chen Shanyuan sat on the ground and said to the communication soldiers beside him: "Let the troops in front stop and return to the camp. This is the end of today."

"Yes." The communications soldier turned and left.

After Tokyo was breached, all embassy staff from various countries, including Zhao Bingjun, had already been notified to leave Tokyo, and the Qing army deliberately opened a hole for them to leave.So the whole world doesn't know what happened in Tokyo.

It was just the sound of cannon and gunfire that went on for five days, accompanied by cries of pain.The whole world was in an uproar, what did the Qing Dynasty do in Tokyo?
The French felt a little scared after learning all this. If the tens of thousands of French troops in Vietnam were also attacked by the Qing army, it would be a devastating blow to the French defense forces, especially the army. You must know that the French The standing army is only 20 in total, and the 4 besieged army is one-fifth of France's national defense force.

Germany was also surprised by what it learned. Germany was deeply shocked by the powerful fighting power and vicious methods of this eastern ally.Wilhelm II was delighted that he had not offended the lion of the East.

After the United Kingdom knew this, it had stopped economic aid to the United States. In their view, the war was over.Obviously, the failure rate has already been achieved. Although the British do not want to believe it, this is a fact. Today's Qing Dynasty has become completely stronger.It's not that you can form an army that can compete with the Qing Dynasty by adding a little military equipment at will.

The next time Feng Xianghua also received a telegram from Guan Xuqing that the massacre must stop.All countries, including Germany, expressed dissatisfaction or raised doubts about the massacre of the Qing Dynasty.

"Tell Cai Ning to bomb the bungalows in the north and west of the city for another two hours, let the fourth brigade guard the artillery battalion, and withdraw the rest of the troops. After two hours, all the troops will withdraw from Tokyo." Although Feng Xianghua still obeyed Guan Xuqing's orders , but the hatred for the right has not weakened in the slightest, and I still hope to destroy as much as possible.

"Yes" the communications soldier turned and left.
