"Don't move!" Liu Jinkui, Wang Mazi and the two soldiers who ran over with them raised their guns almost at the same time and aimed at the squirming corpse.

The two looked at each other, one raised his gun to cover, and the other raised his right foot and kicked aside a Japanese corpse lying on top.

The disgraced Emperor Hirohito was pulled out from inside.

After inspection, Ishihara Kanji and a group of guards were killed by shrapnel while protecting Emperor Hirohito and his family.

However, Emperor Hirohito, Empress Ryoko and their daughters were only slightly injured and escaped.

Although Liu Jinkui and Wang Mazi did not know the specific identities of the Japanese men and women they captured, they could guess from their clothes and the desperate efforts of the Japanese guards to protect them that they had captured several big fish.

While sending people to report to their superiors, Liu Jinkui and Wang Mazi concentrated their forces and took away all the Emperor Hirohito's family. They wanted to bring these prisoners who may have important identities to the main force of the army as soon as possible.

Then confirm their identity.

At this time, the rear troops led by Itagaki Seishiro had been completely wiped out by [***] Wang Longxiang's airborne troops and the elite of the Third Division.

They happened to collide head-on with Liu Jinkui and the others who were leading his troops to escort Emperor Hirohito and his family.

However, the Chinese [***] team in Tokyo City has achieved a comprehensive victory. The Japanese army, which has lost its command, has fallen into a situation of fighting on its own. It is only a matter of time that Tokyo City is captured by the Chinese [***] team.

The Japanese reinforcements in the north and southwestern areas of the city also lost contact with His Majesty the Emperor's breakout guards, and the situation in Tokyo deteriorated, so they chose to stop the attack and retreat to wait and see.

By dawn, although there were still stubborn Japanese resistance in Tokyo, the soldiers of the Chinese Expeditionary Force had basically controlled most of the city.

In particular, the imperial palace, the spiritual center of the Japanese people, was flying flags with blue sky and white sun.

The remnant Japanese soldiers who resisted in the city all collapsed, but few surrendered, and most of them chose to commit suicide.

Tokyo, Yasukuni Shrine.

A group of wolf-like Chinese soldiers armed with Garand rifles and MP38 submachine guns swept the remaining Japanese soldiers stationed here to the ground.

Then they rushed into the spiritual holy place of the Japanese national highway. After about ten minutes, all the large and small spiritual tablets inside were beaten to pieces by Chinese soldiers with submachine guns and machine guns.

A rather funny Chinese soldier even peed on the memorial tablet of Emperor Meiji of Japan.

Half an hour later, several captured Japanese artillery pieces were mobilized.

This so-called shrine used by the Japanese to worship dead ghosts was razed to the ground by fierce artillery fire.

In the Tokyo Imperial Palace, countless [***] soldiers who fought bloody battles for the rest of their lives chanted wildly here, firing volleys of various weapons into the air, and the dense gunfire vented the excitement and sadness in the hearts of the soldiers.

On the battleship Huo Qubing, Wang Tiehan heard that Tokyo had been captured, and he personally led the combat staff and adjutants to disembark from the destroyer, and drove to the Japanese Imperial Palace with the guards.

The convoy had just walked not far when a military motorcycle came towards them.

An officer with a high rank jumped out of the car. When he got closer, he turned out to be a lieutenant general.

"Commander Wang, why are you, what's the matter, why are you so anxious?" Wang Tiehan couldn't help but become curious when he saw that the person who came was actually Wang Longxiang, the number one airborne soldier of the Nationalist Army.

Wang Longxiang couldn't suppress his excitement and said: "Commander-in-Chief, good news. Two platoons from the 9th Regiment of the 3rd Division successfully intercepted and eliminated the last guard of the Japanese Emperor during last night's blocking battle, and captured Emperor Hirohito and

His queen and princesses!"

"Ah? Really?" Wang Tiehan was shocked.

"Yes! It's absolutely true!" Wang Longxiang nodded and confirmed.

"Where is Emperor Hirohito now? Is his safety guaranteed?" Wang Tiehan asked eagerly.

"Don't worry, I have deployed one of the most elite airborne battalions to join forces with the Third Division to guard the headquarters of the Third Division. There will definitely be no accidents." Wang Longxiang assured, patting his chest.

"Okay, great. Capturing the entire Tokyo this time is not as good as capturing Emperor Hirohito alive! Commander Wang, let's go to the Third Division Headquarters as soon as possible." Wang Tiehan couldn't help but finish speaking, then turned around and ordered: "

In addition, Adjutant Niu, you should immediately report this greatest success to the Chairman in my name! Go quickly!"

"Yes!" Adjutant Niu immediately jumped out of the car and took the order.

………………

Kitakyushu, the headquarters of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Japan.

"Commissioner, great victory, great victory!" Jiang Baili shouted excitedly to Zhang Xinghan who had just woken up: "Commissioner, last night Emperor Hirohito led a small number of troops to fail to break through and was captured by our blocking force.

Now Tokyo City has been basically captured by our third fleet attack force!"

Zhang Xinghan was startled at first, and then he slammed the table and said excitedly: "Great, with this, Japan's peace is just around the corner!"

"Yes, with Emperor Hirohito in our hands, we only need him to issue an edict to end the war, and the Japanese islands can cease war!" Jiang Baili nodded in agreement.

Zhang Xinghan pondered for a moment and said: "Brother Baili, do you think it is better to transport Emperor Hirohito immediately to our country for imprisonment through the navy, or to keep him in Japan?"

Jiang Baili fell into deep thought after hearing this, and analyzed carefully: " Imprisoning Emperor Hirohito in our country can certainly avoid accidents to a greater extent.

However, I think keeping him in Japan will help appease the resistance of the Japanese and the existence and development of anti-China forces.

To avoid being used by other countries’ forces, this will not be conducive to our management of Japan.”

"However, now the Yankees have declared war on us. If Emperor Hirohito is left in Japan, the Yankees are likely to increase their attacks on the Japanese mainland.

And using Emperor Hirohito as an excuse to induce the Japanese to cooperate internally and externally to resist our army, by then we may be in trouble internally and externally in Japan." Zhang Xinghan said with some worry.

"Commissioner, you should remember Cao Cao from the Three Kingdoms, right?" Jiang Baili said.

"Cao Feng? Holding the Emperor hostage to order the princes?" Zhang Xinghan seemed to have realized something.

"Yes, it is to use the emperor to control the princes! Today's Emperor Hirohito's influence in Japan is definitely greater than that of Han Xiandi, the king of the Han Dynasty who perished.

As long as Emperor Hirohito is in our hands, we can always use his name to calm the resistance of the Japanese people.

With Emperor Hirohito in hand, there was no need to worry about any rebellion by the Japanese when the Americans attacked.

Of course, just in case, I suggest that once the Japanese army accepts the Emperor's final decree of surrender, all surrendered Japanese troops should be immediately taken away as prisoners, whether they are given to major domestic factories or mines, they should be free of charge.

labor.

It would be much better to kill them all than to keep them in Japan, because these people are dangerous elements, and many of them are unwilling to give up."

Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "It makes sense. There are millions of Japanese prisoners. It is a waste to not use so much free labor. Only Chief of Staff can think of such a way to kill two birds with one stone."

"Then it's decided. Where should we keep Emperor Hirohito in Japan?"

After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, he and Jiang Baili looked at the map.

The latter looked at the map and said: "Tokyo is in ruins, and its geographical location is not very good, because once our navy and air force cannot resist the American attack, the US navy and air force can imitate us and attack Tokyo Bay.

Therefore, I suggest that Emperor Hirohito be moved to Matsumoto in the interior of Japan, where he should be heavily guarded, and the defense of Tokyo Bay should also be strengthened.

In case the Americans make a surprise landing."

"Okay, that's it. For now, let's let Wang Tiehan handle the matter of Emperor Hirohito issuing the end-of-war edict. All frontline troops and the landing force of the Third Fleet should be prepared.

As long as Emperor Hirohito announced the order for the surrender of armies from all over Japan, they would immediately and quickly accept the surrender of the Japanese army in front of them.

Quickly occupy and take over all major, medium and small cities in Japan." Zhang Xinghan ordered.

"Yes, I will go and generate electricity for Wang Tiehan right now." Jiang Baili lowered his head in response, turned around and left.

…………

Emperor Hirohito, who had become a prisoner, was forced to accept Zhang Xinghan's request in order to preserve the names of himself and his wife and children.

The next day, the end of the war was conveyed to the troops still resisting in various parts of Japan via radio.

At this time, the main Japanese troops, who were still fighting a bloody battle with the [***] squadron on the front lines of Honshu and Shikoku, learned one after another that Tokyo had been attacked and the emperor had been captured.

After Emperor Hirohito's edict to end the war was issued, the whole country mourned. It is said that no less than hundreds of thousands of fanatics from the millions of Japanese soldiers in various places chose to commit suicide.

However, most of the Japanese soldiers chose to abide by the emperor's will and surrender humiliatingly to the [***] team in front of them.

The Japanese reinforcements in Nagoya and Sendai also surrendered to Wang Tiehan's Third Fleet troops.

According to Zhang Xinghan's instructions, Wang Tiehan, Huang Xiansheng, Xing Zhanqing and others, while receiving the Japanese prisoners, commanded the troops to quickly capture large areas of Shikoku Island and Honshu Island.

Half a month later, the entire territory of Japan was basically captured by the Chinese Expeditionary Force. More than one million Japanese Army soldiers surrendered and became prisoners of the [***] Squadron.

Zhang Xinghan mobilized ships to transport these prisoners back to the country, preparing to send them to the southwest, northwest and northeastern borders to mine various minerals and build various roads, railways and national defense facilities.

At the same time, another 300,000 army troops were mobilized from the country and the Korean Peninsula to strengthen the strength of the expeditionary force in Japan.

In order to control the Japanese archipelago and defend against possible future attacks by the Americans.

At this point, the total strength of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Japan has exceeded two million.

After pacifying Japan, Zhang Xinghan led a small number of troops back to China. By this time, the Americans had declared war on China for nearly half a month.

In order to prepare for the upcoming all-out war with the Americans, Zhang Xinghan must start preparing. He must use all the war potential that China can unleash at this time to show off with the Americans.
