spn Chapter 367 The Burning of Yamato (8): Allies suffer disaster

Tokyo is short of electricity. Between eight and nine o'clock, most people are ready to go to bed. The decadent life at night can make people temporarily forget the huge difficulties and pressure caused by the war.

When the bombing began, the people who thought they were far away from the war and that the great empire would achieve final victory under the protection of the great Amaterasu and the rule of Emperor Hirohito realized a cruel reality in great panic and uneasiness: the enemy

Coming!

Boom! Boom!...

Buzzing...[

Explosions kept falling from the sky. Although Tokyo was not big, it was still the most modern, densely populated, and largest city. For a moment, it seemed as if there were enemy planes over the entire city, and everyone felt as if they were bombing.

It exploded directly overhead or nearby.

The explosive power of a 1000g-level heavyweight aviation bomb often makes people tremble with fear for several kilometers at a time. When hundreds, two or three hundred bombers wreak havoc over Tokyo together, it is like a big thunderstorm.

On a rainy day, there was always the roar of iron balls rolling overhead.

The Yamashita family's sake shop is not far from the Emperor's Palace, only a few blocks away. In such a large-scale or even super-large-scale bombing, the first to be alarmed, shocked, and shrouded in fear are not those who have already been razed to the ground.

, even the emperor's empress, crown prince, and princesses were 'temporarily missing' from the Imperial Palace, but the citizens of several nearby streets, especially the businessmen and officials, were frightened to their wits.

"Child, China's women are older, and gold and silver are everywhere. China is a hundred times stronger now than it was then. Once we conquer this country, we will achieve the results of their thirty years of economic construction.

, we will transport back all the machines, energy supplies, ready-made commodities, and countless amounts of food that will make the whole world greedy. We can even establish a pseudo-state that obeys the empire, just like the Germans did..."

boom!

When a huge explosion sounded, Yamashita Takoyuki, who had just closed the store and was telling Yamashita Hideaki about the past in China, stood up in fright and accidentally knocked over the small wooden table beside him and a short candle.

It was knocked down and extinguished by him.

If it weren't for celebrating that their grandson was about to become a member of the army, the two of them would have gone to bed at this time. They felt happy today. Naturally, Yamashita Chuyuki talked about many past events in those years. He wanted to use this to paint a beautiful hope for his grandson.

, let him contribute to the realization of this Yamato dream with his future performance in the army.

This was also the time when he sent his three sons to the battlefield, two of whom died in the battle. The remaining one married a female military doctor and is still in Southeast Asia. Those are Yamashita Hideaki's parents.

"Could it be a battleship bombing Tokyo?"

At first, Yamashita Nakayuki did not hear the harsh sound of bomber engines rolling like thunder from above his head. The roar of artillery he heard was very harsh, which reminded him of the division's large-caliber artillery when they attacked Lushun. He was on the scene

Experienced battleships' large-caliber naval guns bombarding China's coastal territories.

But in an instant he rejected this idea. The power of the explosion just now was obviously much more powerful than the battleship's gun, and it could not be blocked by buildings and fortifications at all.

"Grandpa, what happened!!!"

After all, Yamashita Hideaki was just a student. When he heard the huge explosion, he thought it was an accidental explosion or a commotion somewhere. He didn't realize that war was coming to Tokyo.

Apparently, a teenage boy, who had been enjoying the idea of ​​conquering China a few minutes ago, suddenly thought about the fact that Tokyo might have been bombed by the enemy.

Yamashita Chuyuki didn't bother to answer his grandson, because there were more and more earth-shattering explosions. From his experience as a veteran, he knew that this could never be an accident, let alone a naval gun. He had never heard of any enemy attacking the mainland.

, then it can only be the enemy's aircraft.

Then, the increasingly roaring sound of engines in the air confirmed his idea.

"You stay at home and don't run around!!"

What is very strange is that as a veteran, Yamashita Nakayuki was not frightened by the increasingly dense sound of aircraft engines and explosions, as well as the closer and closer screams. Instead, he felt a rush of blood rising from his feet.

He took out the short-barreled musket from under the counter, ordered Yamashita Hideaki to hide at home, and opened the door alone.[

"Baga, could it be a Chinese plane?"

Although he is old, he still has common sense and knows that the only country in Asia that can be bombed is China. Now that the Americans are allies, it can be said that there is no second enemy of sufficient weight within nearly ten thousand miles.

However, everything outside soon left Yamashita Chuyuki dumbfounded.

I saw that the entire street had been illuminated by the huge fire caused by the explosion and the light of burning buildings, as if it were an explosion. The latest explosion actually occurred in a street less than 300 meters away.

"ah……"

"Help……"

"dad……"

…

The streets were quickly filled with running crowds. At the critical moment of life and death, most people were not as crazy as Yamashita Chuko. The huge explosions and sky-high fires were enough to scare the shit out of any ordinary person.

Yamashita Chuyuki anxiously looked in the direction of the Emperor's Palace. He immediately thought of protecting the Emperor. In fact, this happened decades ago. At that time, when he had just retired from the army, one of the orders he received was that once the Emperor's Palace

If there is any danger, both active military personnel and veterans have the responsibility to go to the rescue as soon as possible.

However, wherever he looked, huge explosions one after another kept impacting his psychological bottom line.

In addition to heavy aviation bombs, there is also an unknown bomb. Although there is no earth-shattering explosion when it falls, it will cause a fire. In the eyes of ordinary people, a large area will suddenly burst into flames.

Yamashita Chuyuki has never experienced the era of large air forces and the era of powerful heavy aviation. Seeing all this, the passionate spirit of defending the emperor when he went out just now is quietly retreating.

"Baga, why is this?!"

There was no enemy in sight, but Tokyo was suffering from increasingly fierce bombings, starting from the Imperial Palace, power stations, military camps, and some factories, and began to spread in all directions.

Not only are the explosions getting closer and closer, but the fire is spreading at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, burning buildings one after another, especially wooden buildings. Even more so, it can burn into a large ball of fire in just one minute.

"This is……"

A gust of night wind blew, and in the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke, Yamashita Chuyuki could smell the long-lost smell of barbecued human flesh. He even remembered the stench of burned human flesh mixed with oil.

During the years when he was young in China, he personally killed countless Chinese soldiers and even Chinese people. He had participated in several "roasting meetings alive". Although he had never eaten human flesh, he had witnessed those events with his own eyes.

A squad leader had eaten Chinese human flesh, and another major even carried a baby with a bayonet and stretched it toward the fire...

He had dreamed of this smell countless times in the past few decades, but now, the source of this smell was his compatriots. Yamashita Chuyuki had an illusion for a moment, as if he had returned to that era, but he

I feel very sick in my stomach and want to vomit.

As the streets ran wildly but were eventually blocked by more and more people, and more and more people were unable to escape quickly, Yamashita Chuyuki was like a spectator, standing in front of a sake shop, watching an escape

Tragedy unfolds.

"ah!!……"[

A middle-aged man wearing only a white loincloth was blocked by a woman dragging two daughters in front of him. After scolding a few times but to no avail, the middle-aged man flew up and kicked him.

He knocked down the woman and little girl in front of him, and stepped over the three of them with his bare feet without any pause. After a few screams that were covered up by the noise, more and more people stepped on them.

The three mothers and daughters never saw anyone get up again.

This was just the beginning. Then, when an aircraft bomb exploded about 200 meters away and blew up several nearby buildings, killing and injuring several fleeing people, the crowd became more and more crowded and chaotic.

Looking from Yamashita Chuka's point of view, he saw that the entire street was filled with people, and the screams seemed to overwhelm the sound of explosions in the distance.

At first, more and more people were pushed down, and then fights began to break out. Sticks and knives were taken out. Some people who were running for their lives with knives began to slash at those who were waving sticks at them.

people.

"Ah!! Baga!"

A man who was waving a samurai sword but was hit in the head by a stick turned around, feeling dizzy, and kicked the person next to him without looking. The long samurai sword slashed forward in a diagonal direction.

With a downward stroke, two people were immediately struck by him.

As if he was angered, the young man who was unable to escape began to kill the people around him wantonly, trying to move forward and escape quickly.

As he killed people indiscriminately, more and more people with weapons in their hands began to recklessly kill and injure those who stood in front of them.

Everyone knows that once a bomb falls, or one that can ignite a fire, people on this street will be killed. The sound of plane engines in the sky is getting louder and louder, and more and more people are beginning to fall into hysteria.

In madness.

Suddenly, screams broke out one after another. Some people not only did not run after being slashed, but turned around and hugged each other, fell to the ground, and were trampled by the crowd until they died.

…

"Bang!"

Yamashita Chuyuki raised his short-barreled musket and fired it at the man who was recently slashing someone, but he forgot that the gun was loaded with powder. Immediately, the man and the other old man who was slashed were both hit by the musket.

, not fatal but screamed and was knocked down, then tripped over by the crowd and eventually trampled to death.

His shot had some effect. At least for the time being, no one dared to rush up the steps to kill him, but it had no effect on the chaos in the entire street.

"Looks like we need to run away quickly!"

Yamashita Chuyuki turned around and rushed into the store. His speed was not at all like that of an old man of his age. He grabbed Yamashita Hideaki who was trembling with fear as he huddled behind the door. He shouted loudly: "Quick, go get some rice balls, we have to leave right away.

"
