The waters bordering the Seto Inland Sea and the southeastern coast of Japan are composed of hundreds of large and small warships from the Third Fleet of the National Revolutionary Army Navy and more than 2,000 large and small fishing boats and sailing ships collected from the coasts of Taiwan, Ryukyu, Penghu Islands, Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The huge maritime fleet is riding the wind and waves.

Dozens of Chinese submarines and fighter planes provide them with all-round escort and cover in the sea and in the air twenty to thirty nautical miles away from them.

More than 2,000 large and small ships, carrying a total of more than 100,000 soldiers, shouldered the sacred mission of storming Tokyo and capturing Emperor Hirohito alive.

In order to be able to transport 100,000 army officers and marines at once to launch this strategic attack on Tokyo, the Nationalist Government collected almost all ships, large and small, along the southeast coast.

Fortunately, the owners of these ships and the tens of thousands of boatmen learned that their country's army was going to attack Little Japan. They all volunteered to participate, free of charge, and volunteered to steer the ships for Japan and transport soldiers to attack Little Japan.

Japan.

If a few small fishing boats go out to sea rashly and travel long distances across the sea, it will be very dangerous.

But now more than 2,000 large and small fishing boats travel at the same time, and they all take care of each other. Although they are all full of people, they are extremely safe.

What's more, there are huge Japanese warships sailing with them outside them. Even if something happens to an individual ship, other ships can provide timely assistance.

As for underwater submarines, there are about twenty XXX submarines escorting them.

In this attack on Japan, more than 280 XXX submarines were used. Except for the more than 20 submarines left in the South Pacific, the rest were all used in the Japanese campaign.

Twenty of the remaining 260 ships were ordered to escort Wang Tiehan's landing force, and the rest were cruising in the northeastern waters of Japan to defend against the American Pacific Fleet.

Because the Japanese navy and air force were almost completely lost, they lost air and sea control, coupled with the tight blockade of the Chinese navy, air force and submarine forces.

Therefore, the Japanese had no idea that such a huge naval fleet was advancing toward Tokyo in their offshore waters.

The attention and eyes of all Japanese troops and citizens were drawn to the front lines of Honshu Island and Shikoku Island, which were fighting fiercely with the Chinese troops.

…………

Tokyo City. Imperial Palace of Japan.

Good friends Ishihara Kanji and Itagaki Seishiro were reporting the war situation to Emperor Hirohito with solemn expressions.

"Your Majesty, in the direction of Shikoku Island, the Chinese have captured the Sayama Cape Peninsula and are advancing towards the Hachimanhama area.

In the direction of Honshu Island, the imperial army is fighting bloody battles and has successfully blocked the Chinese in Shimonoseki City.

However, the Chinese have an absolute advantage in the navy and air force. They bombard them every day and the imperial army suffers heavy casualties." Itagaki Seishiro lowered his head with a guilty look on his face.

Emperor Hirohito's face turned blue and purple, which was very ugly.

After a long time, he looked at Ishihara and Wan'er and asked:

"Ishihara-kun, will the Americans join the war?"

Ishihara Wanji quickly replied: "Your Majesty, the Americans do not agree to participate in this war between us and the Chinese. They are not willing to shed blood and sacrifice to defend our homeland."

When Emperor Hirohito heard this, he gritted his teeth and cursed angrily: "Bagaya Road, you damn despicable Americans!"

Ishihara Wanji continued: "However, Your Majesty, President Roosevelt of the United States has revealed to our ambassador through his personal secretary that he himself is willing to fulfill the alliance agreement signed with us.

Now, on the grounds of protecting American companies and expatriates in Japan, he has ordered the American Pacific Fleet to sail near our waters. As long as there is an opportunity, he will immediately declare war on the Chinese.

Thus, the Pacific Naval Combined Fleet was ordered to directly intervene in the war with the combat power of the U.S. Navy.

As long as they participate in the war, they can definitely seize air and sea supremacy, as long as they can cut off the connection between the Chinese troops landing on the island and the rear.

Then we can wipe out all the Chinese troops that landed on the island in one fell swoop, and it will definitely be possible to regain Kyushu Island by then."

"Really? What kind of opportunities do Americans need? Can we find a way to create such an opportunity as soon as possible?" Emperor Hirohito asked eagerly after hearing this.

Ishihara smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this opportunity is beyond our control. Everything depends on the Americans. If they intend to provoke, then a war will definitely break out between them and the Chinese."

Emperor Hirohito nodded as if he understood, and after giving instructions to Ishihara Kanji and Itagaki Seishiro, he drove back to the palace to find his queen.

On the battleship Huo Qubing, Wang Tiehan, the commander-in-chief of the attack on Tokyo, accompanied by a group of adjutants and staff, was standing on the deck holding a telescope and looking at the endless waves of the sea.

"General, the Chairman is calling." A communications staff officer climbed onto the deck and saluted Wang Tiehan with a message in his hand.

"Read it." Wang Tiehan ordered without turning his head.

"The Chairman of the Generalissimo telegraphed that the success of this attack on Tokyo mainly depends on whether, after successfully landing on the beach, troops can be quickly dispatched to encircle the entire city of Tokyo and cut off its connection with the outside world.

I hope Commander Wang will consider this carefully. In addition, when your troops launch an attack on Tokyo, I will send two airborne regiments to assist you in encircling Tokyo and blocking Japanese reinforcements that may be heading towards Tokyo.

The Battle of Tokyo is related to the overall strategic situation and the life and death of millions of Japanese soldiers. I hope that the 100,000 soldiers who are sent out this time will be determined to fight to the death, win glory for the country, be loyal to the nation, and strive to capture the city of Tokyo in one fell swoop and capture them alive.

Emperor Hirohito! Long live the Chinese nation! Long live the heroic Chinese people!"

After Wang Tiehan finished listening, he turned around and said to the adjutants and staff behind him: "I believe everyone has heard the chairman's telegram, right?

I, Wang Tiehan, am a rough man and I don’t speak politely and politely like the committee members. All I can say is, this time we attack Tokyo City, we have no escape route. If we cannot capture Tokyo City, everyone will have no choice but to die in battle.

Therefore, whether to take down the city of Tokyo and establish an immortal and unparalleled feat, making 40,000 people proud, or to be chased away by the Japanese like a duck into the sea to feed the fish, and to be buried in the belly of the fish.

It’s all in our mind!”

"If you don't succeed, it's Naruhito! Fight to the bitter end! Take Tokyo City to the death and capture Emperor Hirohito alive!"

"If you don't succeed, it's Naruhito! Fight to the bitter end! Take Tokyo City to the death and capture Emperor Hirohito alive!"

"If you don't succeed, it's Naruhito! Fight to the bitter end! Take Tokyo City to the death and capture Emperor Hirohito alive!"

The adjutants and staff present and the surrounding guards shouted out their determination in unison.

Wang Tiehan nodded with satisfaction and took the lead to leave the deck and walk towards the command post below.
