Time travel! Regrets will never happen again!

Chapter 189: North China Expeditionary Force Point 5

At this time, all the top Japanese military and political leaders gathered in the temporary imperial palace in Kanagawa. They all looked solemn and whispered to each other nervously.

In this temporary palace, the god in their hearts - Emperor Hirohito, is now in danger of death!

"Neiji Okamura deserves to die! Hideki Tojo deserves to die too!" An old Japanese aristocrat suddenly shouted loudly among a group of ministers.

His voice was sharp and angry, as if he wanted to vent all his anger. Many people gathered around him, all with the same anger and dissatisfaction on their faces.

"Hideki Tojo, the army private, must step down! Look at what he has done over the years?" another old noble echoed.

His tone was full of condemnation and disappointment, and he seemed to be extremely saddened by what Hideki Tojo had done.

"The empire has worked hard for hundreds of years to achieve such brilliant glory, but he destroyed it single-handedly!" The third old nobleman's face turned red with excitement, and his words were full of nostalgia for the past and dissatisfaction with the present.

These old aristocrats expressed their opinions one after another, and they believed that Hideki Tojo should be held responsible for the current situation of the empire.

They felt that Hideki Tojo, as the Prime Minister and Army Minister of the Empire, was incapable of leading the army to victory and instead put the empire into trouble. They hoped to find a new leader to lead the empire out of the crisis.

Among this group of ministers, some remained silent. They might not fully agree with the views of these old nobles, but they did not dare to express their opposition openly.

After all, at this time, any speech may cause unnecessary trouble.

Just when everyone was making a lot of noise, Hideki Tojo appeared in front of everyone with a gloomy face.

However, his arrival did not have a deterrent effect. Those old ministers who had long been dissatisfied with him immediately began to direct the war directly at his head.

"It is because of you, Hideki Tojo, that our Great Japanese Empire has fallen into such a predicament. You deserve to die!"

"You idiot, do you think you can save the empire? Look at the current situation, it's all because of you!"

Ever since Hideki Tojo came to power, those who had been suppressed by him finally plucked up their courage and exploded today!

Hearing the vicious curses and endless accusations, Tojo felt endless sadness in his heart.

Although Tojo did have his own little thoughts on some things, he believed that he owed nothing to anyone for the future of the empire.

But now, when facing failure, it seems that everyone blames themselves.

On this autumn afternoon, Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo announced his resignation as Prime Minister and Army Minister.

His resignation marked a major adjustment in the power structure within the Japanese government. This incident also attracted widespread attention from the international community, and it was generally believed that this was a response by the Japanese government to the worsening war situation.

However, in any case, this war has brought great disaster and suffering to the people of Asia, and Japan's aggressive behavior ultimately ended in failure.

Tojo Hideki was a ruthless character! I didn't expect him to be so resolute. Now that he had resigned as prime minister, he no longer hid things from the people of the empire that could have been concealed.

Just one week later, those major events that had been carefully covered up by the imperial high-level officials were exposed one by one by those who were interested, like a volcanic eruption.

This series of bad news came like a storm, plunging the entire Japanese government and society into a bottomless abyss.

A large number of people woke up as if from a dream. They finally understood that the imperial army, once known as invincible in the world, had already been defeated on all fronts.

Now it is probably difficult to even save the North China region. How can these people accept such a fact in such a short period of time?

"Boom boom boom!" Deafening explosions continued to sound on the sea. Some unlucky ships were directly hit by bombs. In an instant, the entire ship and the Japanese on board sank into the Bohai Sea.

At this time, the sea surface of Dagukou was crowded with Japanese retreating ships, and the port was crowded with Japanese civilians and soldiers waiting to board the ships.

Although Chinese fighter planes continued to drop bombs from the sky, and some even swooped down from high altitude to strafed them, this did not stop them from trying to board the ship.

Even the floating bodies of Japanese soldiers and civilians littered the sea, which did not scare these people.

Outside the city of Tianjin, more than 100,000 Chinese troops had appeared in the sight of the Japanese soldiers on duty on the city walls.

The whole city was in a panic, and their city defense commander, General Yokoyama Isamu, had boarded a ship to Manchukuo yesterday.

Only the brigade commander Ryuji Sakata was left to be fully responsible for the defense of Tianjin. Along with Isamu Yokoyama, there were nearly 10,000 Japanese soldiers who boarded the ship in advance.

In fact, as early as when the Japanese troops were about to board the ship, the reconnaissance planes of the 78th Army Air Force had already discovered their intentions. But for Wang Chun, he did not want to launch an attack easily.

After all, the Pingjin area is one of the most important cities in the north. Once the war spreads, the consequences will be disastrous. If we can avoid the war from spreading to these important cities, it will naturally be the best choice.

Therefore, Wang Chun decided to hold back for the time being and wait for a better opportunity. However, this also gave the Japanese army a chance to catch their breath, allowing them the opportunity to reorganize their forces and transport the garrison forces here back to the northeast in an attempt to continue to confront our army.

Although the army cannot join the battle for the time being, the air force can. It is not easy to let these Japanese leave easily. They must shed enough blood.

With Wang Chun's order, hundreds of fighter planes began to take off from the temporary airport that had just been built around Tianjin. They were like ferocious falcons, swooping down on the Japanese fleet.

The goal of these fighter planes was very clear, which was to prevent the Japanese from evacuating comfortably.

Wu Jianwei sat in a bomber, his eyes fixed on the target on the sea.

When he saw the Japanese merchant ship engulfed in flames, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which showed his contempt for the enemy and confidence in victory.

Looking at the sky which was already getting dark, he sighed inwardly that today's bombing would have to end here. Despite this, he still felt satisfied.

Today, the bomber fleet he commanded sank at least 100 Japanese ships of various types.

This number is staggering, but more importantly, every ship sunk means more enemy destroyed.

Among them were two light cruisers, a destroyer, and five merchant ships of more than 3000 tons, which were important combat forces of the Japanese army, but now they have become wrecks buried in the sea.

And the number of Japanese sinking to the bottom of the Bohai Sea today is definitely no less than 30,000. This is a huge victory.

However, there were still many small boats on the sea that continued to pick up people under the fire, which showed the tenacity and indomitable spirit of the Japanese army.

But Wu Jianwei believes that as long as the pressure continues, the final victory will belong to the Chinese army.

War is full of variables and challenges, and every decision may affect the final outcome.
