Age of Conquest Reborn

The second line of defense of the Japanese defense circle in Tokyo started from Haneda in Tokyo Bay in the west, extended to Serei in the north of Tokyo, and ended at Funaki in the east of Tokyo Bay. It was a large semicircular defense line just outside Tokyo. Going further,

It is the urban area of ​​Tokyo. Once it falls, the independent division troops will invade the urban area of ​​Tokyo.

This is the most important link among the five defense lines of the Tokyo Defense Circle designed by Prince Zain, the deputy commander-in-chief of Japan's Homeland Defense Headquarters. Therefore, it also has the largest number of assigned troops. There are nearly 500,000 Japanese troops, and nearly 20 of them.

More than 10,000 people are on the second line of defense.

For many days, the independent division troops continued to attack, but they never broke through the Japanese second line of defense. This gave the Japanese a lot of confidence. It seemed that Tokyo would not be lost so easily, but the pain involved was deeply felt in Prince Zain's heart.

Understand that in order to maintain the second line of defense, more than 350,000 troops have been invested. Among them, there are about 150,000 regular troops, and the rest are civilians recruited temporarily.

A steady stream of Japanese took up arms and threw themselves into the fighting on the second line of defense. Facing the artillery fire and aerial bombings of the independent division troops, they paid the price of tens of thousands of casualties every day. No matter how many civilians were drafted into battle, they would die.

Zai Ren doesn't care, he cares about regular soldiers.

The battle for the second line of defense lasted for more than twenty days. Prince Zai Ren was shocked to find that more than 300,000 troops had been invested in it, and only a few hundred thousand troops remained in the three subsequent lines of defense. However, the battle had reached this point.

To this extent, the Japanese were unable and impossible to stop. Therefore, the second line of defense in the suburbs of Tokyo was roaring with gunfire and shouts of killing all day long. Countless Japanese were reduced to pieces under the shells and bombs.

Son.

The tactics formulated by Tang Qiuli have achieved remarkable results and are wringing out the blood of the Japanese step by step. However, the brigade commanders fighting on the front line are fighting extremely hard, and they are obviously little devils who can be swallowed in one bite.

, why do you have to chew slowly? I am really anxious to death!

The opinions of the brigade commanders were constantly reflected to the division commanders through the commanders of each corps. Zhao Yuhe, chief of staff of the division commanders, responded in accordance with Tang Qiuli's instructions: "Don't be impatient. The key to this battle is to consume the Japanese army."

With limited troops, we can achieve the goal of killing the Japanese army. At present, the division commander has no plans to launch a full-line breakthrough attack!"

"Division Commander, the offensive and defensive battle for the second line of defense has been going on for more than twenty days. It has been going back and forth repeatedly. The reaction of the commanders at all levels below is that there are many complaints about the division commander!" It was another morning. Zhao Yuhe reminded

Tang Qiuli arrived.

"There are slight casualties every day, but it can consume a large number of Japanese troops. Where can you find such a cheap battle?" Tang Qiuli said calmly: "I don't care about any complaints. As long as the troops do not violate orders, it is up to the commanders at all levels to fight.

thing!"

Zhao Yuhe swallowed helplessly, and Tang Qiuli stood up. He walked to the window and looked at the blue sky in Yokohama at the end of August. He seemed to be listening to the sound of artillery coming from the direction of Tokyo. After more than ten minutes, he turned around and looked at

Zhao Yuhe said: "Yuhe, you immediately order Le Yiqin, Liu Cuigang and the special operations detachment leader Chu Tian to come to the division in two hours to convene a small-scale military meeting. They have important tasks! By the way, you

Participate too!”

"Huh?" Zhao Yuhe's eyes flashed, and he did not understand the division commander's intention. It was easy to understand Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang. The commanders of the two aviation groups in the north and south controlled the air supremacy in the Tokyo battlefield, but it was easy to find the special operations detachment detachment.

Chang Chutian, you can’t figure it out?

Two hours later, Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang met in front of the teacher's office building. The two wanted to follow them into the building. As they walked, Le Yiqin complained, "Cui Gang, I don't know what the teacher is thinking.

If all the nearly 10,000 combat aircraft of our two armies were deployed, they could blow Tokyo to the ground, but the division commander refused to allow a large-scale deployment. You see, this battle has been fought at a disadvantage. It has been more than 20 days, and it is still...

Getting entangled in the suburbs of Tokyo!"

Liu Cuigang responded honestly: "To be honest, I don't quite understand. As far as the second line of defense currently held by the Japanese army is concerned, ground artillery fire plus aerial bombing will ensure a full breakthrough in less than two hours. Those of my personal

Commander of the Bomber Regiment, you are getting annoyed with me all day long!"

"No, my men also came to me when they had nothing to do, and brought a pile of letters of challenge with them!" Le Yiqin deeply felt the same, and said: "It is the opinion of the pilots, and they insist on going to war, no

If you give me a clear answer and you won’t even drive me away, then you’re stuck with me, and you still have to take care of a meal at noon, what’s the point of that?”

When they were approaching the teacher's room, Chu Tian walked up to him in high spirits. The three of them met. Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang were old acquaintances with Chu Tian. They said informally, "Isn't this the captain of the Chu detachment? How can he be so talented?"

Come to the master's office?" Le Yiqin said curiously.

Chu Tian smiled naively and replied: "I received an urgent order from the division commander to attend a small-scale military meeting. Two commanders, what are you...?"

Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang looked at each other. The two of them received the same order as Chu Tian's, which was to attend a small-scale military meeting. They both felt that the special operations detachment leader Chu Tian had participated, and this time it was a small-scale military meeting.

I'm afraid the military meeting will not be simple.

Liu Cuigang said with a smile: "Isn't it just like you, who received the order from the master? I came here in a hurry!"

As the three people spoke, they arrived at the door of the division commander's room and shouted a report. As soon as the door opened, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe came out, looked at the three people with a smile, and said: "You are all here, come in, division commander."

Waiting for you!"

After Zhao Yuhe, Liu Cuigang, Le Yiqin and Chu Tian came in, Tang Qiuli asked them to sit down and said straight to the point: "I came to you for an important task, which requires the cooperation of the aviation and special operations detachments.

Finish!"

Liu Cuigang, Le Yiqin and Chu Tian looked at each other, their backs straightened up straighter, their eyes brightened, and they stared at the division commander intently. Now the independent division has millions of troops, surrounding Tokyo, and the battle is even more fierce.

The battle is fierce and the troops are fighting every day. This important task is obviously much more important than the current battle.

"Chutian, I will give you three days to assemble the entire special operations detachment, and then sneak into Tokyo!" Tang Qiuli continued: "Your only mission is to capture the Japanese Emperor Hirohito and his family members alive! And make them safe!

Bring him to Yokohama, remember, you are capturing him alive, I don’t want Hirohito dead!"

"What?" Chu Tian was stunned. On the way back to the division commander, he imagined countless possibilities and what kind of tasks the division commander would give the special operations detachment. But he never thought of sneaking into Tokyo to capture Hirohito alive, as well as the whole

It is necessary to bring out the whole body, which is quite difficult. It is equivalent to going deep into the tiger's den to capture the biggest tiger alive. There are hundreds of thousands of little devils in Tokyo city!

Seeing Chu Tian in a daze, Tang Qiuli smiled and said, "Why, you don't have the confidence to complete this task?"

Chu Tian immediately stood up, stood at attention and said: "Commander, please rest assured that the special operations detachment can complete any task assigned by the division commander!"

"Don't be too busy expressing your stance!" Tang Qiuli waved his hand for Chu Tian to sit down, and said: "The difficulty of this task is self-evident. Once it fails, the special operations detachment will be wiped out. In your heart, Chu Tian

Understand, otherwise I wouldn’t be in a daze, so I’ll give you three days to make a careful plan and deploy troops!”

Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin didn't speak. They couldn't figure out what the special operations detachment's sneaking into Tokyo to capture Hirohito had to do with the aviation force. Could it be that they wanted to parachute several thousand people from the special operations detachment into Tokyo, but that wasn't sneaking into Tokyo.

Already?

"Cui Gang, Yi Qin!" Tang Qiuli turned to them and said, "The mission of your aviation force is to provide strong air cover and fire support for the special operations detachment when they evacuate Tokyo after Chu Tian succeeds.

In a word, use fighter jets and bombers to clear the way for the special operations detachment!"

"Regarding the special operations detachment's infiltration into Tokyo, Chutian, the Intelligence Department will give you detailed information. The agents lurking in Tokyo from the Intelligence Department will all cooperate with you. You can discuss the specific details with Yu Deshui later!"

"Cui Gang and Yiqin's aviation troops will cooperate with Chu Tian's actions and obey Chu Tian's command. The three of you will study the specific details and what the special operations detachment needs. The division commander will unconditionally satisfy it. Chief of Staff Zhao will coordinate. Three days later,

At nine o'clock at night, I will create an opportunity for the special operations detachment to sneak in!"

"One last order. Le Yiqin, don't hide the treasure in your hand, that "Falcon" paratrooper brigade. All personnel and equipment will be transferred to Yokohama immediately. I will be of great use in the future!"

"If you three have any opinions, please express them freely without any scruples!" After speaking, Tang Qiuli took a sip of tea and looked at the three confidants and generals calmly.

"No objection! Resolutely complete the tasks assigned by the division commander!" The three people stood up and replied loudly.

"Okay!" Tang Qiuli said calmly: "Go back and prepare. I want to see the detailed plan of this operation before eleven o'clock noon in three days!"

After seeing off Liu Cuigang, Le Yiqin and Chu Tian, ​​on the way back to the division commander's office, Zhao Yuhe was still thinking about the division commander's sudden mission just now. Before that, the division commander had not revealed anything about it, so he was very surprised.

, and I still don’t understand the division commander’s intention of letting the special operations detachment carry out such a dangerous mission?

In Zhao Yuhe's view, it doesn't make much sense whether to capture Hirohito alive. Tokyo is under siege. As long as the division commander gives the order, the city will be destroyed in an instant. Hirohito cannot escape. Hirohito's life and death are crucial to the capture of Tokyo.

As far as the battle is concerned, it has no impact. For this reason, is it worth it to let thousands of people from the special operations detachment take risks?

If the division commander had revealed the news in advance, he would have definitely raised objections. After returning to the division commander's office with some thought, Zhao Yuhe said bluntly: "Commander, I personally think that whether or not Hirohito is captured alive will have no special significance on the Battle of Tokyo.

Is it worth putting thousands of members of the special operations detachment at risk?"
