The third bloody war of resistance Chapter 10 The raging waves Chapter 10 The Flower of Edo (9)

As soon as Kazuki Nakajima finished speaking, Ritakanosuke had already rushed out and quickly took the bag of grain from Mrs. Ishirokawa and Mrs. Nakamura, but did not take the bag into the house. Instead, he ran to the tree, lifted a stone slab, threw the bag in, and then ran back to the room, raised his small box and put it in. At the same time, Mrs. Nakamura and Mrs. Ishigawa also took out a small bag and put it into the hole. Several children also ran over, standing beside with obediently, and the two little girls were holding a doll in their hands.

Muto Akira was a little surprised. He walked over to see that the hole under the tree was not very deep, but was relatively wide. After so many things were placed, there was still room for the gap.

"Ritao Jun, what is this for?" Muto Akira was a little curious. Ritao Nosuke bent down and pressed the stone slab, raised his head and said, "This is what I dug last night. In fact, the bomb is not scary. The Chinese people are the most terrifying to take this kind of fire attack. When the fire is together, everything is ruined. Putting things here is also prepared to comfort me. Oh, Tanabe, put your things in quickly." Tanabe hesitated, and Kazuo Ken Nakajima nodded and smiled, "I think it's good, Tanabe Jun, hurry up, the alarm has sounded for a while."

Tanabe then turned around and returned to the room to take out his small box. Ritakanosuke lifted the stone slab again, took the box from Tanabe's hand and put it in, and then pressed the stone slab on. At this time, the woman next door also came over. Seeing that the child was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief. She hurriedly said hello to Mrs. Ishikawa, pulled the child up and ran away.

Mrs. Ishikawa and Mrs. Nakamura held their children and stood beside them and looked at Ritakanosuke.

Seeing what he will do next, he vaguely regarded him as his backbone. The whistle sounded loudly outside the courtyard wall, and the old man was shouting loudly just now.

"Let's go." Ritakanosuke said that he had held a child from Mrs. Nakamura and walked out. Nakajima Yasuke followed him and hugged Mrs. Ishikawa's child. Mrs. Ishikawa hurriedly thanked him, and kept following Ritakanosuke with steps.

"Litaojun, let's not go to the air-raid shelter, it's very boring inside. We might as well go to the river." Nakajima Yasuka suggested.

Ritakanosuke hesitated and looked at the child in his arms. It was not far from the river and it was two streets away. Nakajima Katsuya smiled and said, "Ri Taka, it seems that he is afraid of it."

But Akira Muto said: "I think it's good to go by the river. Tokyo's air raid shelters can only accommodate 1.2 million people, and there are even fewer air raid shelters nearby.

Tanabe next to him was a little puzzled: "Why is this?" Muto Akira did not answer, but Kazunashi Nakajima explained to him: "It's nothing strange. The country has no money and no labor. The only small amount of funds is to protect the workers in the factory, and the nobles in Asakusa." Asakusa is a settlement area for Tokyo's nobles. People who live here are either rich or noble. In Japan, the concept of hierarchy penetrates into every corner of society. Ordinary Japanese people seem to take it for granted, but when disaster strikes, this understanding begins to shake. Residents living in civilian areas begin to complain, believing that there are more people here, but fewer air raid shelters, small and crowded inside, and very poor air.

"Okay, let's go to the river." Ritakanosuke immediately changed his mind. If there were a lot of people inside the air raid shelter, it would become more dangerous when the fire came.

When Ritakanosuke and his friends arrived by the river, they found that there were many people who chose to go to the river, and there were people in the shade of the trees. Ritakanosuke gave the child to Mrs. Nakamura and told the two women to take the child to hide under the dam, but he and Nakajima Kanaki and others stayed on the dam.

A buzzing sound came from the sky, just like yesterday, several small black dots floated from the sky, flying smoothly and neatly. Anti-aircraft guns from all over the city began to fire, and shells exploded in the sky, looking like they had hit the aircraft group. The crowd of people watching the game cheered, but the cheers had not yet fallen, and the aircraft group was still so stable and neatly passing through the black smoke, and seemed to be unaffected at all.

The bombs fell one after another, and a sharp roar sounded, and the sound of explosion came from afar, and the flames rose in the distance. Ritakanosuke and others immediately discovered that the bombing target of the Niu Kingdom Air Force was still the port area.

There was no Zero aircraft in the sky, and anti-aircraft guns were shooting wildly. The whole city was shrouded in the sound of cannons and explosions. Two huge explosions sounded on the other side. After the explosion, two balls of fire rose into the air, and the fire emitting a scorching red light. Then a wave of heat hit the face, hitting the hot face.

The crowd on the dam was panicked and avoided the trees, which were already crowded, became more crowded, but Ritakasuke and others did not move, and they still looked at the firelight on the other side calmly. The firelight had expanded in this short period of time.

Ritsuko Nosuke thought he was deviating from the target, but unexpectedly, a team of planes came over and dropped bombs one after another in the fire. More than a dozen fire heads emerged on the other side, and these more than a dozen fire heads were just around the two fire heads. These more than a dozen fire heads formed a circle on the periphery.

Nakajima's Akatsuki was terrifyingly cold and stern. Seeing the other side silent, Muto Akira kept shaking his head. Taba took out a cigarette from his pocket, tremblingly ignited it, and took a few sips.

"Compared with yesterday, there are changes in tactics." Ritakanosuke suddenly spoke.

Kazuya Nakajima also saw that although they were far away yesterday, they could still feel that they were on the other side today. They saw very clearly that the bombing of the Chinese Air Force was not like yesterday. Yesterday's explosion spots were scattered, but today there was a certain pattern, and the destruction increased several times.

"Ritaka, look at the idea of ​​sending heavy bombers from Yokosuka to attack the air base in Shandong in China?" Nakajima asked.

"I'm afraid it's difficult," Ritakanosuke thought for a while and said: "The Chinese people have already had radars, and the results of our heavy bombers in China have never been great, but the losses are amazing."

Muto nodded in agreement. The Japanese-Blade heavy bomber suffered a staggering loss in the Battle of Shanghai. He lost almost all of them after only two battles. He never participated in the battle since then. Even after gaining air superiority in Japan, he did not put such aircraft into the bombing of Chongqing.

"Yes." Shiken Nakajima sighed softly, still looking at the firelight on the other side: "Can the radar not avoid it? Since it is an electronic thing, there should be a way to avoid it."

Ritakanosuke and Muto Aki was stunned. Muto Aki was frowning and thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid I'll ask professionals for this. Nakajima Jun. Even if the heavy bombers are deployed, the number of Imperial heavy bombers is not large, so it is impossible to sneak attack all airports in China in Shandong at the same time. Moreover, there are also airports in the Pingjin area. The Chinese Air Force reacted and was afraid that these planes would never come back."

This problem is also serious. Once the bombing is launched, the nearby Chinese Air Force will definitely come to support it. Compared with the current air force, these heavy bombers will almost certainly go and never return.

"If, I say if," Ritakanosuke said in a backlash: "If the Chinese Air Force can be paralyzed for several months, even if it is three months, these losses will be very worth it."

Kazunashima turned his head and looked at Kazunosuke. Rikitonosuke explained: "The key now is to see if the Joint Fleet can defeat the Pacific Fleet. If it can win three months and the Joint Fleet defeat the Pacific Fleet, the Empire can use this time to carry out active diplomacy and strive to stop the war."

"Active diplomacy?" Tabata asked vigilantly and suspiciously, "Is Lou active?"

Ritsunosuke was silent, Muto Akira was also silent. Katsuya Nakajima was still staring at the fire on the other side. Explosions in the port area were heard one after another, and the fire continued to spread. Many people gathered on the river bank on the other side. The anti-aircraft guns were shooting even more violently, and smoke filled the sky.

After a long time, Rikonosuke sighed and said, "You can accept most of the conditions in Tehran, such as compensation, return Taiwan to China, and give up North Korea. War criminals can be tried in Japan and Japan. Both Britain, the United States, China and the Soviet Union can send judges, but Japanese judges must also participate in the trial. The most important thing is that the emperor system must be retained, and Your Majesty cannot become a war criminal."

Muto Akira gasped and Tana almost jumped up, which was almost announcing an unconditional surrender. Even the peacemakers in the cabinet would not agree to such conditions. The cabinet currently sets the bottom line that it is not to pay compensation and to judge war criminals by itself. The alliance team cannot enter Japan. The emperor system is retained and North Korea can be abandoned, but Taiwan must be retained.

"However, this is just my personal opinion. I am a civilian now and what I say doesn't count." Ritakanosuke added lightly.

But no one cared about his supplements, and Tanabe was the first to object: "How can you accept such conditions? Li Gaojun, are you too pessimistic? The empire has not yet fallen to the point of being fish."

Ritakanosuke didn't tell the difference. He just sighed softly, but Kazuya Nakajima interrupted, "But what I'm worried about is that the allies may not accept such a plan."

Tabaya was stunned, Muto Akira's mouth opened slightly. Such conditions could not be accepted by the allies. Do you really have to surrender uninhibitedly? Muto is different from Tabaya. Takanosuke is a civilian, but Katsukai Nakajima is not. The current Minister of the Army, Suzusao Nishio and Mijiro Umezu, both value him very much. Katsukai Nakajima's army has a growing say. If he wants to be at peace, he might be able to promote peace talks.

"Roosevelt Churchill and Chiang Kai-shek were in Cairo and then in Tehran, both of which reiterated that they would only accept unconditional surrender, and if they accepted conditional peace talks, it would have an incalculable blow to their prestige."

"If this is the case, then we will fight them to the end." Tanabe interrupted Nakajima.

"If this is the case, many people will die in Japan. Now, Japan has a population of 80 million. If you fight to the end, you can survive for 8 million people, which is considered as the gods." Nakajima said calmly.

"Tanabai, don't be naive." Ritakanosuke sighed: "I told you before, have you ever been ruthless when killing the Chinese people? Do you feel guilty? If not, don't expect the enemy to have it."

It's very cold and cruel, but that's the reality. It's undoubtedly very stupid to expect the enemy to let you go in a war.
