Chapter 1117 The Battle of Wake Island

In Tokyo, Japan, Fushimiami Hirohito was in front of the palace where the Imperial Palace was located, and Hirohito was kneeling in front of the palace in military uniform. The wind in winter was cold and the face of Fushimiami was blue, but he still refused to fall.

Xianyuan Palace walked to him at some point, looked at Fujian Palace and sighed, "Why do you have to?! Your Majesty doesn't want to see you, so naturally there is your Majesty's reason. Your Majesty, why are you going to do this..."

"Your Highness, you and I belong to the imperial royal family. Are we just watching this empire and walking towards the abyss step by step?!" Fumimigu's face turned blue with a cold face and said tremblingly: "Even if it's just a glimmer of hope, I'm willing to give a hundred strength! This is why I must meet Your Majesty..."

Zairen, the Xianyuangong sighed when he heard this. He knew that he could not persuade Fujiangong and had to bend down and whisper: "I go in and talk to Your Majesty, but I can't guarantee that Your Majesty will definitely see you. I can only convey your thoughts for you..."

Fushimigu turned around and nodded deeply at the Anyuangu, saying, "Please!"

Xianyuan Palace nodded and turned around and walked into the palace. The guards in front of the palace gate only put him in after checking the pass of Xianyuan Palace. Although Xianyuan Palace has come to the palace a lot of times, these guards still insist on checking his pass. Otherwise, they will never let him go.

In the palace, Hirohito was playing chess with Nishinoji in a gloomy face. Looking at Hirohito's gloomy face, Nishinoji sighed: "Your Majesty, if you want to meet the Palace Highness Fumimi, then you can meet..."

"The Palace of Fumimi is a royal family no matter what. He has always been loyal to the royal family and the empire. Since he has something to say to His Majesty, why should His Majesty avoid it?!"

"Teacher, I will never see him!" Hirohito put Chi Zi on the chessboard fiercely and said, "Yujiro Yamamoto was known as a famous general of the Empire. But he directly destroyed the Imperial Navy in the Battle of the Philippines!"

"As the direct leader of the navy, Fushimiya Must be responsible for this. I did not deal with him because of the royal family and his many years of loyalty. Otherwise, it would be a crime of putting the empire in a crime of doom, and it would not be too much for me to deal with him!"

Nishienji smiled and gave in, looking at Hirohito and sighed, "Your Majesty, don't pretend to be ignorant. The failure of the Philippines battle actually has little to do with commander Yamamoto..."

"The news sent back by Hiroshima proves that the Chinese team has mastered extremely advanced radar technology. We don't even have this technology yet. Yamamoto did not lose from tactics, but from technology..."

"Our empire never possessed this kind of technology. Even our empire knows little about it. Even German research is just beginning. Under the gap in technology, we have no choice but to fail. This cannot be blamed for the generals who lead the army..."

Hirohito also knew the problem?! But in anger, he issued an order to dismiss Fushimijimiya and leave the navy, which is now irreversible.

And according to the news, Koga Fengichi is very steady. After entering the navy, he did not undergo a major change of blood, nor did he wantonly install his own hands.

Instead, he first consulted the former commander Iroku Yamamoto, and then made certain adjustments to the navy based on his opinions.

Now all the affairs of the Navy are proceeding in an orderly manner, and Koga Fengichi has made great contributions. Without his comfort and support, many of the Navy's affairs that Yamamoto Iroku had arranged would not be carried out.

"Isn't the Navy trying every means to introduce German technology?! Isn't Hiroshima discussing this matter with Germany?!"

Hirohito snorted coldly: "The Navy will get this technology soon, so what excuses do they have to make next?!"

"Your Majesty... haven't you seen it?! If the empire was still the former empire, then Germany would definitely consider transferring this technology to us..." Nishinoji smiled bitterly: "But is the current empire still the former empire?!"

"For Germany, we are more burden than our allies. I am already surprised that they can keep Hiroshima Oshima in Germany. We don't have to think about transferring technology. They won't give us the technology..."

Hirohito couldn't help but stagnate when he heard this, blushing and unable to speak. He knew in his heart that what Nishienji was talking about was the fact. The Germans would cooperate with Japan because Japan showed its value.

But now Japan has almost no value. What else can Japan do for Germany as an ally?! Japan even has a problem in defending itself, let alone supporting Germany.

At least Italy, as an ally, was able to send 300,000 troops as an expeditionary force to support the German army on the Soviet battlefield. And what about Japan? Now it still has to struggle for its own survival.

Such a Japan is unlikely to gain support from Germany. If Japan still has the advantage in the Pacific as before, then Germany will likely hand over this technology to Japan for free.

After all, if Japan becomes stronger in the Pacific and threatens the United States, then Germany will be easier on the Soviet battlefield.

"Your Majesty... His Highness the Prince of the Xianyuan Palace asked for a meeting..." At this time, the eunuch knocked on the door and said to Hirohito outside the door. Hirohito and Nishizoji looked at each other, and then Hirohito waved his hand and the eunuch brought a screen to block the two of them.

"I understand, let him come in!" The eunuch responded and then retreated. After a while, the knock on the door sounded again. When the door opened, Xianyuan Palace walked in and crawled towards the screen and said, "Your Majesty! Something big happened! Our latest news shows that the US military has appeared in the waters near Wake Island!"

Hirohito's face suddenly changed, although he guessed that the United States would launch an attack on Japan, he did not expect that the Americans would come so quickly.

And at this moment, an eunuch rushed in and fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty! Latest news, Wake Island has been attacked by the US military!!"

"Nani?! What are you doing for food?! The Americans have attacked Wake Island, and you have received the news now?!" Hirohito stood up from behind the screen angrily and walked out quickly.

"Yanyuan Palace! Although I asked you to leave the Army on the surface, I didn't let you ignore anything! Tell me! How did you manage the Army Department?!"

"Your Majesty forgive me..." Xianyuan Palace was also shocked by the sudden news. He did not expect that the US military would take action so quickly...

Wake Island has now been plowed over and over by artillery fire and bombing. Three hours ago, Japanese reconnaissance planes discovered the US fleet near the sea.

Unfortunately, the reconnaissance plane was shot down before it could send back the message. An hour later, the Japanese army, who discovered the abnormal reconnaissance plane, sent another fighter plane.

They finally got the news of a large-scale invasion of the US military, but unfortunately the news came too late. They had just sent the telegram back to Japan, and the US military launched an attack on Wake Island almost at the same time.

"Chirp chirp... boom boom boom..." The whistle of the bomb cut through the tranquility. Fortifications and horse-rejecting horses were bombed everywhere. Although Japan did not have so much steel to make steel horse-rejecting horses, a lot of cement horse-rejecting horses were built.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang the Japanese positions and fortifications, and a large number of Japanese troops were forced to leave their positions and retreat into anti-artillery fortifications.

Fortunately, the fortifications built on Wake Island were good before, and the Japanese army repaired them directly and were able to use them.

"Send a report to the base camp that we were attacked by the US aircraft carrier. Now we need tactical assistance from the Imperial Navy. If we don't get support, we may not be able to hold on for a long time..." Major General Yokota, the commander of the garrison division on Wake Island, looked extremely ugly. He had been careful during this period, but he did not expect to catch the Americans off guard.

"Hay!" the adjutant responded, then turned and left. Chief of Staff Colonel Kurosaki said worriedly: "Commander, our situation is very bad now. Can we persist until the navy's support arrives..."

"I don't know..." Yokota Nobuki said with a wry smile: "We are just under-staffed divisions, and the total number is only more than 14,000 people. I don't think we can last for long..."

At this time, the US military, which had been bombarding Wake Island for an hour and a half, finally began the landing operation. A large number of landing craft continued to rush out of the ship and rushed towards Wake Island.

"Tututu...dadada..." The Japanese light and heavy machine guns began to counterattack at this moment, and the steel plates of the landing craft on the water were beaten to jingle.

The US fighter jets in the sky kept diving down, and fired at the Japanese firepower point, "twist...", trying to open the way for its own landing troops.

At this time, the Japanese anti-aircraft guns were pushed out, and there was a burst of bombardment against the US fighter jets in the sky!

"Bang...boom!" A US fighter plane could not dodge and was directly hit by Japanese anti-aircraft artillery fire and was hit and exploded. The pilot on the plane was blown into a ball of minced meat before he had time to parachutize, and fell from the sky with the wreckage of the plane...

The remaining US fighter jets had to raise their heights to avoid being hit by Japanese anti-aircraft artillery fire. The landing troops on the sea were once again trapped in the Japanese firepower network.

"Drop the ship! Disembark! Start landing!" At this time, the ship had already arrived at the shallows. The US crew members driving the landing craft began to shout, and at the same time, the alarm was sounded.
