Chapter 17 Bombing Tokyo (4)

At the same time, the Nighthawk Airship Force arrived over Tokyo at 11:13 pm.

At this time, most parts of Tokyo were already hidden in the darkness of the night. Except for the red light areas on some bustling streets, people slowly entered a deep sleep.

The original Nighthawk-1 flag boat that Liu Wenqing was riding crashed last time during the night attack on Sasebo. At this time, Liu Wenqing was riding a brand new Nighthawk airship.

More than 40 airships have all arrived at designated locations at this moment. Through Japanese intelligence, all Nighthawk airships have scattered and have completely locked on important buildings on the ground.

According to Tang Jian's order, most of the areas locked by Liu Wenqing's Nighthawk Airship troops were Tokyo's banks, factories, military camps, and roads, and residential areas were avoided as much as possible.

Tang Jian once warned Liu Wenqing that bombing Tokyo was just a deterrent operation, and its purpose was to shake the mountains and shake the tigers and force the Japanese emperor to surrender to avoid more casualties, rather than simply killing.

Liu Wenqing was still wearing a thick bandage on his right shoulder, and his hair was burned by fire and not yet fully grown. Several communication soldiers and bomb throwers in the pod were squeezed together to keep warm. In the winter, it was a height of several thousand meters. Even though he was wearing a thick cotton coat, the cold wind was still shaking, and the ice was still shaking.

Below the airship that Liu Fu-kyung was riding was the palace where the Japanese emperor lived. According to Japanese information, the Japanese palace is located in Tokyo, covering an area of ​​about 17 hectares, and is the palace where the Japanese emperor and his family members live.

The entire palace below is surrounded by a moat and surrounded by a moat. The palace is divided into several areas: Imperial Palace, Outer Garden, East Garden and Kitanomaru Park. Most of the palace (including the palace itself), hidden in thick stone walls, ancient trees and the moat of Hanoi during the Edo period.

The entire Japanese palace is strictly guarded, easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you really want to attack from the ground, you will inevitably have to pay an extremely heavy price.

The main bombing targets of Liu Wenqing's airship were the Shogunate Castle in the Imperial Palace Higashiyuan and Fushimi Yakura behind the Jichou Bridge.

Looking down at the key points of the Japanese Palace below, Mars dotted above the key points, which were the torches on the walls of the palace guarding the palace. It was also these torches that clearly reflected the layout of the Japanese Palace, which all included Liu Wenqing's next actions.

Liu Wenqing raised his hand and looked at the quartz watch on his wrist. There was still half an hour left.

The lookout hand Niu asked boldly: "Sir Liu... aren't you cold?"

"Haha, it's cold, but you have to bear it. You can't act without waiting for the order. Wait for Lord Tang's order. Everyone can go back to drink soy sauce and warm up your body when the task is completed." Liu Wenqing simply leaned against the side of the hanging basket and chatted with a few people.

"Haha, we're not cold!" Niu Dadan explained, but his trembling teeth still betrayed him, but when he heard that he could go back to drink shojiu, a flash of light flashed across Niu Dadan's eyes, and then he felt much better, as if he had really drunk shojiu.

"Well, brothers, we will be able to go back soon." Liu Wenqing said, "Send a message to each boat, be careful to keep warm, but don't make loud noises, and don't smoke in the hanging basket. Please note that the bombing height must be maintained at a safe height above 3,000 meters in a while." Liu Wenqing said to the radio communications soldier beside him.

"Yes, sir, I'll send a message to the captains of each boat." The radio communications soldier replied.

Sasebo Naval Base

After Togo Heihachiro came back from the Dragon Wei, he was in a very bad mood and couldn't relieve his depression. He drank wine in his command for the first time.

Music with Japanese characteristics sounded in the small command center. Hirahachiro Togo knelt on the table alone, and the Hokkaido sake beside the table was already half drunk.

But the more he drank, the more he felt he became more awake, and the boredom in his heart became even more difficult to relieve.

In front of me, a geisha wearing a traditional Japanese pink kimono holding a paper fan, dancing gracefully in front of Hirahachiro Togo, scratching his head from time to time, and a sunny smile rippled on his face covered with snow-white and powdery face. Under the neckline, the snow-white and tender spring light appeared and faintly.

Togo Hirahachiro raised his head and drank the sake in his glass again, holding the empty wine glass in a daze, the chaotic music stirred up the waves in his heart.

Togo Hirahachiro suddenly threw the cup in his hand and overturned the small table in front of him without any warning.

The dancing geisha was frightened and stood there trembling like a frightened little rabbit.

The musician was about to play music again, but unexpectedly, Hirahachiro Togo grabbed the scattered sword and chopped the dishes in front of him into pieces. At this moment, the overturned table looked like an arrogant Tang Jian in Hirahachiro Togo.

The geisha hiding beside him had never seen such a formation, and she had long been so scared that she screamed loudly.

The adjutant colonel immediately pushed open the door when he heard the scream. Heihachiro Togo was still looking at the table in front of him desperately. The adjutant colonel hurriedly asked, "Master Commander, what's wrong?"

After Togo Heihachiro vented, he threw away the samurai sword in his hand and roared: "Get out, get out of here!"

The musician on the side was already scared when he heard this sentence. The geisha didn't care about his own small steps and left with the musician.

The adjutant colonel squeezed out a little smile and said, "Your Excellency Commander..."

"I said get out, didn't you hear it?"

"Yes, yes... Commander!" The adjutant colonel also took the door and pushed it out with tactfulness.

Hirahachiro Togo walked to the window, looked up at the cloudless night sky, and Tang Jian's arrogant smile kept flashing in his mind. He didn't know where Tang Jian got such great confidence. Did he really think that he could easily take Sasebo without giving up the force?

Didn't have any serious attitude to negotiate just now?

Huh? Since he didn't have a sincere negotiation, why did he still want me to go? Togo Heihachiro suddenly felt that the peace talks tonight seemed to be a little wrong, and they were far from as simple as he imagined.

Why is Tang Jian so confident? Is he really so sure to easily defeat Sasebo?

Must reply before twelve o'clock?

After Togo Heihachiro came back, he had no intention of replying. He decided to resist to the end because of Tang Jian's arrogant attitude of not having any sincerity.

But when he thought of Tang Jian's last ultimatum, Togo Heihachiro suddenly felt a strong uneasiness, and then suddenly realized: Tang Jian will sneak into Hong Kong tonight!

Hirahachiro Togo suddenly felt the cold sweat on his back flowing down, and hurried out of the door and shouted: Adjutant, Adjutant, take me to the Asahi immediately...

"Sir, how long will it take? Why haven't Lord Tang given the order yet? My brother's hands are itchy." asked the torpedo officer of Qianlong 1 submarine.

Chu Zhaoliang raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said, "Wait a little longer, it will be five minutes before twelve o'clock. You can only attack after Lord Tang's order. This is a military order. Don't you understand the military order?"

Although Chu Zhaoliang "reprimanded" the anxious torpedo officer, he was even more impatient than this torpedo officer. This was the first time his submarine force had carried out such an important task. He was anxious and even more worried, and he must not make any mistakes.

I stared at my hands with my eyes fixed on my hands, jumping little by little in seconds, and it was soon right at twelve o'clock!

When there were three seconds left, Tang Jian's voice suddenly came from the radio.

"Nighthawk, Qianlong, start an attack immediately now!"
Chapter completed!
