July 7th, 5:10 PM.
Located in Ota Ward, west of Tokyo, it is less than ten kilometers away from Chuo Ward, the heart of the city.
At that moment, the sound of cannons rang out continuously, flames shot into the sky, turning the night sky red like a fiery cloud, and the air was filled with the strong smell of gunpowder.
"Bang!", "Bang!", "Boom—"
A bullet flew from the barrel, piercing the dark and silent night sky, leaving a long trail in mid-air before finally landing on the trees on both sides of the road, piercing the trunk and leaving a deep dent, demonstrating the immense power and speed of the bullet.
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
A fleet of Mercedes-Benz G4 SUVs and Henschel 33 all-terrain trucks drove in from a distance, each carrying heavily armed soldiers.
Their expressions were solemn, their gazes were cold and stern, the muscles on their cheeks were taut, and their whole bodies exuded a chilling and sharp killing intent. They looked like killing warriors from the Asura realm, making people tremble with fear.
"Reports came from the 8th and 11th Armies that they have successfully reached Itabashi area, and the 9th and 12th Armies have reached Setagaya area."
"In addition, the 17th Airborne Corps from the south has also arrived in Edogawa Ward."
Inside the Mercedes-Benz G4 SUV, Chen Sanyuan was reporting the situation to Lin Feng, the chairman of the China Democratic League, who was standing next to him.
Lin Feng lit a cigarette, exhaling thick, pungent white smoke, and said, "Very good, immediately order the troops to impose a blockade on the Tokyo metropolitan area."
"yes."
Chen Sanyuan responded and then took out his radio to relay combat missions to the commanders of the various units.
The attack on Tokyo involved the 8th, 9th, 11th, and 12th Armies to the west, as well as the 5th and 6th Armies that came from Mount Fuji, with a total force of over 300,000 and several thousand armored tanks of various types.
To the south lies the sea, and the Democratic League's U-boats have already surrounded the entire port. Any military or civilian vessel that dares to leave the port will inevitably suffer a devastating blow.
To the east, three airborne divisions of the 17th Airborne Corps had already begun their airborne operations a day earlier.
As for the north, although there are no NLD troops there, it has been under continuous attack from the NLD air force. It would be better to swim out of the sea than to go out from there.
The convoy continued forward, and as it approached Tokyo's port area, the sounds of artillery and gunfire intensified. The explosions illuminated the entire night sky, enveloping the nearby mountains in a terrifying, apocalyptic atmosphere.
"Da da da da da da—!"
"boom--!"
A deafening explosion came from the east, followed by a dense burst of blinding flames.
Lin Feng squinted, scanned the situation to the east through the rearview mirror, and then ordered, "Get out of the car, prepare for battle!"
"call out--"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers of the 5th Army Guard Company jumped off the vehicles and quickly spread out around, setting up defensive positions and preparing for battle.
Through his binoculars, Lin Feng saw that not far away, at the border between Shinagawa Ward and Minato Ward, the Japanese had built fortifications using collapsed houses and broken walls. However, due to their heavy firepower, the 5th Army's advance regiment suffered heavy losses.
"This can't go on."
Lin Feng frowned, pondering a solution.
"Thump—"
"Boom—"
Just then, a muffled cannon shot came from ahead, shaking the entire earth. Lin Feng felt dizzy and his legs went weak, almost causing him to fall to the ground.
"President!!!" Chen Sanyuan hurriedly helped Lin Feng up.
"No...it's nothing..."
Lin Feng waved his hand, trying to suppress his dizziness as he spoke.
"Reporting to the Chairman—!"
“A radio from Commander-in-Chief Duong of the Vietnamese Navy.” A communications soldier carrying a D2 backpack radio ran over.
"Give it to me."
Lin Feng extended his right hand.
"yes."
The communications soldier handed Lin Feng a telephone.
"Hello!!"
"President! I am Yang Wenhai!!"
"I know."
Where are you now?
"We have just arrived in Tokyo Bay. What are the combat instructions?" Yang Wenhai asked in a deep voice.
Lin Feng's mind raced. Originally, he had only ordered the navy to use U-boats to blockade the port and for the main navy to circle around to Jeju Island to block the Kwantung Army's landing.
Unexpectedly, Yang Wenhai did not follow the plan and instead led the main naval force straight to Tokyo.
This result was completely beyond Lin Feng's expectations.
But this undoubtedly created another opportunity for Lin Feng: surround!
Completely surround Tokyo!
Instead of fighting the Japanese to the death, inch by inch, for every bit of land.
"Wenhai, your mission is simple: concentrate all the ship's guns and bombard Tokyo. I'll have someone send you an accurate map of the bombardment area later," Lin Feng ordered.
"We guarantee the mission will be completed."
"beep--"
Lin Feng hung up the phone and waved his hand, "Sanyuan, bring me the battle map of Tokyo."
"yes!"
Chen Sanyuan walked to the corner of the carriage, took out a map, spread it out, and placed it in front of Lin Feng.
Lin Feng glanced at the map, then looked up and said to the communications officer beside him, "Pass the order: all troops are to retreat across the board."
"The 17th Airborne Corps retreated to the Edogawa area to deploy defenses."
"The 5th Army withdrew to Ota Ward and Setagaya Ward."
"The 6th Army moved north to relieve the 9th and 12th Armies of their positions and deployed in Suginami Ward and Nerima Ward."
"The 12th Army advanced eastward, and the Itabashi and Kita districts were deployed. The 11th Army withdrew to the Adachi and Katsushika districts."
