Chapter 556: Hirohito who fled
After Kamakura completed its landing, two mechanized infantry brigades of the Ming army quickly advanced to the battlefield, and the brigade armed helicopter group arrived at the front line in the shortest time to provide support to the US military that was fighting hard. Even more than a dozen sea Harrier attack aircraft made their first actual combat debut.●⌒,
At this time, the US military had been driven to the west coast of Arakawa, and the howitzers of the Japanese army even hit the palace. If it weren't for the Ming bombers' continuous dropping of one bomb after another, the US military would have been driven into the sea long ago. This kind of terrorist weapon with a weight of more than six tons was extremely lethal. Basically, one bomb fell and turned completely white within a radius of 500 meters. Its power was comparable to that of the nuclear bomb of West Point. Of course, the casualties caused by civilians were also relatively serious, so it would only be used to wash the ground at the most critical moment.
After all, if you really want to throw it away without restraint, it will not be the Tokyo defense battle but the Tokyo massacre, so only thirty-two have been cast so far.
This number is very easy to count. Looking down from the sky, there are several circular ruin belts with a diameter of 500 meters on the ground. Then, a few mothers of bombs were thrown down, as clear as the mark of a squid suction cup on the back of a sperm whale.
The mother of these 32 bombs caused at least 20,000 Japanese troops and tens of thousands of civilian casualties, but the latter would not be found in the newspapers. At this time, all media in the Western world were crazily praising the Ming army's righteousness. Even the New York Times, which had always been inconsistent with Yang Feng, rarely praised the respected head of state and the Ming people under his leadership to world justice and peace. It can be said that praising the Ming army and the Chinese has become a political task.
Kennedy himself, all specially held a banquet at the White House and invited Chinese celebrities in the United States to thank them for their efforts to build the United States over the past century.
Just as Kennedy was chatting and laughing at the White House with those Chinese celebrities, the new commander-in-chief of the US Army in Yokosuka was in Japan, General Westmoreland, who was also chatting and laughing with Lieutenant General Han Xu, the commander of the Eighth Army of the Ming Army, and a group of generals. He should have taken Lieutenant General Davis as the principal of West Point Military Academy at this time, but now
It's fine not to mention it now
"General Han. How should we coordinate the command of our two armies?"
Westmoreland asked with a smile.
"Admiral, we are here to assist the US military in combat. Of course, accept your command."
Han Xu said indifferently.
Since it is giving Kennedy a face, it's enough. What's more, the Ming army is not familiar with the battlefield. If he is the commander-in-chief, it will be easy to cause chaos, not to mention that the US military may not necessarily cooperate. To be honest, if we talk about the battle command ability of the large corps, Han Xu also knows that he is even inferior to Westmoreland. When this guy was fighting with Sicily in North Africa, he was still carrying bags at the dock.
Westmoreland smiled and nodded with satisfaction. In this way, the Ming and American armies, which were fighting on the battlefield more than a year ago, quickly became coalition forces in Japan.
However, this coalition is not only the Ming army. Soon, one brigade of the Kingdom Defense Army of His Highness of the King of Japan and His Highness of Goryeo will join. In addition to the 30,000 coalition forces of the Southeast Asian Holy Alliance and the 10,000 mercenaries of the ASEAN Rapid Response Force will go north to the battlefield. In addition to these two mechanized infantry brigades, the Ming army will also have an armored brigade and two mountain infantry brigades to be put into the battlefield, and the other airborne brigade is on standby on Kyushu Island. Reinforcements are required at any time. In this way, Yang Feng's subordinates actually invested six Ming troops and two local defense troops. The eight brigades of servants have a total of six brigades, with a total of less than 100,000 combat troops. There are more than the Shanghai Air Force, and they are almost 200,000.
The US military has five divisions. Although they are all seriously reduced now, fortunately, their replenishment capabilities are strong. As the replenishment troops arrive on a transport plane, they will soon be full. In order to help the US military transport soldiers, Chief Yang even sent the Ming army's Kunpeng transport plane. After all, the main transport plane of the US military is still 54 now, and the take-off weight is not as good as the Kunpeng load. As for the 141, it just flew for the first time.
The actual total strength of these five divisions is about 100,000. Of course, this is purely a front-line combat force. If you include the miscellaneous things, the total strength of the US Army stationed in Japan is 150,000, and the Shanghai Air Force is about 250,000. However, because the bases are captured, their air force actually ran to Goryeo except fighter jets.
In addition, they also have two Korean masters.
In this way, the actual total strength of this coalition is about 500,000. As for Lu Zi, who had been disbanded by the US military at this time, the reason why they fell to this point today is that Lu Zi is at least 60% responsible. Why are such an army still left for the future? Is it possible to stab him?
And their opponent is two million Japanese People's Liberation Army.
However, less than one million are truly well-trained, and the rest are urgently expanded. In terms of combat effectiveness, the level of the Japanese military division that was more than 400 during World War II.
"Admiral, I think the Japanese still need to take on the task of defending their freedom."
Han Xu said.
"This is of course, but we have to wait for their democratization reform to be completed first. Otherwise, even if the people cannot trust their government, even if they reorganize an army, it will definitely become a second Lu Zi. Such an army is meaningless. Of course, the first priority at the moment is that we must relieve the dangers of Tokyo and Nagoya. After all, no matter what the Japanese government wants to do, their control area must be able to support it."
Westmoreland said.
Han Xu was actually urging him to quickly fulfill another request from Head Yang, that is, to abolish the Japanese monarchy and establish a republic. Only by establishing a republic can a new army belonging to the Japanese government be formed.
But the current situation, no matter what you want to do, you must first keep Tokyo and Nagoya. In fact, the Japanese government officials and members of Congress who have not yet run away are waiting to run away at the US military base at any time. It only takes one sentence to do what they do. But in the current US military's huge control area, even if there is a use for establishing a republic, it will be less than 5,000 square kilometers in total.
Han Xu nodded.
At this moment, a Ming army officer hurried in and whispered a few words beside Han Xu. His brows immediately frowned, and then said to Westmoreland: "Admiral, Yukihito ran away."
"Runned"
Westmoreland said in surprise.
This officer was responsible for arresting Hirohito. He had known this for a long time, but he deliberately pretended not to know. If they or the new Japanese government handed Hirohito to Yang Feng in the future, it would inevitably be disgraceful. But if the Ming army captured Hirohito himself after landing, they would not have to consider this issue, so the US military acquiesced the Ming army's arrest operation.
However, no one expected that Yuhito actually ran away and disappeared. When Ming Jun went to arrest him, only his wife and a few children were living in the residence.
Of course Hirohito was going to run away. He was also an old fox who had been playing politics all his life. When he heard the news that the Ming army went north to participate in the war, he knew that he had been sold by the Americans. As long as the Ming army set foot on the land of Tokyo, the first thing he did was to catch him, and the Americans would definitely pretend not to see him. Everyone was a thousand-year-old fox, and he still understood this little thing very clearly. So after knowing that the Ming army landed in Kamakura, he immediately embarked on the road to escape.
"Look for him, you must find him."
Westmoreland said with a gloomy face.
Of course he was just pretending, and even if he really wanted to find the US military, he would not have time. This was the job of the Ming army.
"Order the Sixth and Seventh Brigades of the Land War to transfer all the Air Cavalry Camp out, and immediately conduct a net-style search around Yokosuka, and then order the First Brigade of the Japanese Defense Forces to board the plane and air transport it directly to prepare for joining the search."
Then Han Xu said to the officer.
The latter immediately saluted.
Soon, the Sixth and Seventh Brigades of the Land War, which had already started to join the battlefield, hurriedly boarded the elephant helicopters to pick them up and air transported them to Yokosuka. Seeing dozens of elephant helicopters in the sky, they sent more than a thousand fully armed elite soldiers directly to him from dozens of kilometers away in less than half an hour. Even Westmoreland could not help but feel moved.
After arriving, the soldiers immediately dispersed and focused on Hirohito's residence. They took photos of the urgently produced and searched outward, searching the current theoretical supreme ruler of Japan from door to door.
In fact, in this situation, Hirohito had no place to run away, and he would not want him in the north. The government of the People's Republic of Japan had long listed him as a war criminal, and he was ranked first on the list of war criminals. Although he would not be cut off, it is certain to spend the rest of his life. As for the Japanese people's first choice for escape, he went to Kyushu Island, and he did not have the ability to go to the United States and Europe. Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor's goal of escape is to find a small village that no one notices, and use the gold and jewelry he carries on to spend his life.
At this time, he was trekking hard in the mountains and forests.
Poor he is also the Emperor after all. Although he has suffered many disasters over the years, he has been in the palace for his pension. He has never suffered such a crime. In addition, he is 60 years old. He fled alone in the dark forest. He lost a shoe on his feet. He was like Benedict in the wilderness, holding a stick, carrying a few kilograms of baggage, enduring the pain in the soles of his feet.
Where is this
Hirohito raised his head blankly and looked at the dark and deep forest around him. Unknown strange screams kept ringing in the ghostly atmosphere.
OK, he's lost.
"Yeshan, it must be on Yeshan. He couldn't run far away at this time. He transferred four reconnaissance helicopters to come and used infrared imagers to take pictures of me at a very low altitude on Yeshan until he was photographed."
