1890 King of Southeast Asia

Chapter 743: Bombarding the Imperial Palace

"Sir, there was a violent explosion at the Imperial Palace! It was estimated that it was caused by the 120mm howitzer bombardment of the rebels. The damage is not clear yet." Erlang rushed into Terauchi's office without caring about being rude.

"Bombardment? How is the war on the front line?" Terauchi asked in surprise.

Originally, in his opinion, this group of rebels had no need to be used. Since they stopped, they were abandoned by Terauchi.

If Terauchi did not need to keep these people to attract attention, to raise the enemy and to have an excuse to transfer people to Kyoto, Terauchi would not cover up for these people, and they should have failed long ago.

Even so, as the Japanese army's strength increased, their failure was only a matter of time, but at this time they did what Terauchi hoped they would do.

"The rebels on the front line launched a round of night attack and broke through a line of defense, but the rebels were sparsely manned, logistics were cut off, and they were weak and had been surrounded." Erlang lowered his head slightly. He couldn't understand the rebels' operation.

"Unfortunately, the Emperor has already moved." Terauchi shook his head and sighed secretly.

"Send someone to check the damage and call His Majesty. I want to know if His Majesty is safe and if his location is safe!" Terauchi's voice was very soft, but his eyes staring at Erlang were very serious.

"Hai!" Erlang looked at Terauchi's eyes, which were so deep that they seemed to absorb his soul, and he couldn't help but shudder.

"Inform the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the attack on the Imperial Palace, and ask them to go all out to resolve the rebellion as soon as possible, and then wait for processing on the spot." Terauchi thought about it, this is a good opportunity to resolve the obstacles of the 1st and 2nd Divisions.

Unfortunately, if he had known that things would develop in this direction, Terauchi would not have allowed the 4th Division to come.

"Hai!"

...

Boom boom...

The shells exploded not far from Muta Shinnosuke, and shells from various artillery, 75mm mountain artillery, 105mm field artillery, 120mm howitzer, 150 to 155mm heavy artillery, and a variety of shells fell around them.

Since the bombardment of the Imperial Palace, the urging of the Prime Minister and the ministers made the Japanese 1st and 2nd Divisions lose their last restraints and use all their firepower to launch an artillery attack on the rebel defense line.

Muta Shinnosuke, who could only resist hard, began to disintegrate under the absolute superior firepower of the encirclement and suppression army.

"What did Asaguchi Yamada do? Why are the artillery of the 1st and 2nd Divisions also attacking us?!"

"Gather the defeated soldiers, retreat, and ask Asaguchi Yamada for fire support to cover our retreat."

"Also, notify Nonaka's troops to retreat, quickly!"

Muta Shinnosuke was also very loyal. He did not forget to call Nonaka when he retreated. In fact, it would be better if he did not call him at this time. Nonaka would help them share a lot of pressure.

"Hai!"

Perhaps to vent anger, or perhaps to ensure that the shame was washed away, the artillery of the 1st and 2nd Divisions opened fire at full power and carried out a bombardment for half an hour.

This is an attack on a city, or their own city, and the attackers are still the Japanese army known for their frugality. This scene is really indescribable.

Half an hour later, the moon was high in the sky, providing a weak illumination for the devastated city.

"Hehe... cough cough cough! Pah!" Muta Shinnosuke got out of a pile of sand and soil, sorted out the sand and soil, and recalled what happened.

"Just now, I was leading the soldiers to retreat. When I retreated here, I suddenly encountered a large-scale indiscriminate bombardment and intensive explosions. It should be that the enemy discovered us and used large-caliber heavy artillery."

"Under the bombardment, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. The reckless and indiscriminate bombardment made them either dead or injured, and then they collapsed."

"And I was also buried by the soil raised by the shells. Fortunately, I was not buried deep, otherwise..."

Muta Shinnosuke shook his head in fear, threw the messy Civic out, and observed the surroundings.

Today's moonlight is not very good. Not only is its own light not strong, there are clouds in the sky, which bring darkness from time to time, but the burning houses supplement some light sources.

Looking around, the nearby hundreds of meters have been completely unrecognizable by the bombardment. Houses collapsed, and burning wood and other building materials can be seen everywhere.

There were all kinds of broken limbs on the ground. Not many of those who were lucky enough to keep a complete body were lucky enough. Those who were unlucky had part of their bodies or even all of them blown into blood mist by the shells.

As for the soldiers, there was not a single one left.

"Failed, failed, cough cough cough!!!" Muta Shinnosuke looked around helplessly, no one was still moving.

The dead might all be here, as for the living? Obviously they had all run away.

"Ha! I'm almost there..." Muta Shinnosuke found a piece of wood and sat down.

Muta Shinnosuke looked at the moon and sang a little song from his hometown in a low voice.

"Cough cough cough... Puff!" Muta Shinnosuke spit out blood and felt the pain in his abdomen and chest.

He knew that this was caused by the shock wave generated by the shelling that injured his internal organs. He didn't know the specific injuries, but he knew that he must be bleeding internally.

If the internal organs were injured and medical treatment was not timely, large-scale internal bleeding or even bleeding coagulation would be difficult to save even by gods.

He felt his strength was gradually draining away, and he probably couldn't hold on for much longer.

"Asakuchi Yamada, what on earth did you do?! You made them so excited..." Muta Shinnosuke muttered to himself while looking at the moon.

"Really regret it! Qingjun side, Qingjun side, the most important thing is Qingjun! But we are naive waiting for the Emperor to come out to preside over justice."

"What kind of life is the bottom, do I know? Will the Emperor know? Retreating 10,000 steps, the emperor, can the emperor really endure the large -scale rebellion of the army?"

Mu Tianxinzhi coughed twice and vomited several sips of blood.

"The emperor is raising the cricket. The young officer of the young officer assassination of the gentle and constitutional ministers can fall from lightly. Sooner or later, one day, these officers will assassinate more people!"

Step on stepping ...

Dozens of soldiers rushed into these ruins, holding flashlights and torches, and carefully searched.

Mu Tianxinzhi is far away and has not been discovered by the first time.

He discovered these chasing soldiers, but he couldn't even stand up and run up now, let alone others.

"Huh ~ I'm not willing ~~" Mu Tianzhizhi pulled out the left wheel pistol and checked the bullet.

There are 3 in the bomb nest. The position was adjusted 1, the hammer was pulled to the starting position, and then pushed it on his head.

Mu Tianzhizhi endured the pain of his chest, took a deep breath, and then yelled loudly in a depressed tone:

"The Great Japanese Empire ~! ~! ~!"

Suck ~

"Half !!!"

Bang!

The sound of gunfire sounded, and the whole process only lasted for 34 seconds, so that the soldiers who were searching had not had time to find a bunker. Mu Tian Xinzhi had completed himself.

However, these people did not know that Mu Tianxinzhi was dead. They still completed a series of actions such as a series of actions such as bunkers and tactical transfer.

It wasn't until the second half and did not wait for the rebels to attack, and the captain of the offense felt that it was wrong.

"What happened?"

"The sound of gunfire, the sound of pistols, why is there only 1 shot, where is the enemy?"

"Is anyone injured? Where did the bullet come from?"

"Search cautiously, be careful to encounter a soldier who pretend to be dead ..."

The soldiers were busy and searched carefully. Until half an hour later, a soldier with a torch found that Mu Tianxin's assistance sitting behind the broken wood.

The captain, the rebel sequence is already a big official. Officials greater than this level were forced to start.

"In the 2nd Division, Mu Tian Xinzhizhu, 1 of the main leaders of the rebellion, was not enough to die, just died, it was really cheap him."

Within a while, the captain came over and confirmed the identity of Mu Tianxin's assistance and kicked the foot fiercely.

"Note that the rebels and thieves shot the imperial house, bringing a shame and shame to the first division. This battle does not require any captives. The rebels need to use their blood to atone for sin!"

"Passing the order of soldiers, the captain of the submissions, one of the main commanders of the rebels, Mu Tianxinzhi has been Fu Ji!"

"The rest, continue to move forward according to the original plan. Before the sunrise tomorrow, I would like to see that all the brigades had occupied the rebels.

"Set off!"

The brigade grew up and waved, and continued to touch the front.

That is, at night, soldiers cannot quickly and accurately statistical battlefield conditions, otherwise the captain will find that the rebels of about 4 minutes have been eliminated here.

If he knows, it is now a bright march.

..............

That night, the Japanese 1st Division and the 2nd Division launched a total attack night attack regardless of the night. After experiencing large -scale shells, the large positions battle basically ended.

But the 0 -star battle 1 continued until Tianming, and it was completely ended at noon.

After dawn, the bodies of Nomako, Asaki Yamada and others were found and confirmed, and the rebellion was confirmed to be eliminated.

After that, the 1st Division and the 2nd Division were required to stop locally and stop activities.

Although the soldiers of the 1st Division and the 2nd Division were somewhat aggrieved, they could also understand that after all, the rebels appeared among them.

What made them unexpected was that they did not take their position to the fourth division from afar, but the defense forces and various militia forces from Tokyo.

This surprised the 1st Division for one meeting. The first division was trained from the recruitment of people in Tokyo. These people came from the Tokyo region. How can this be a half of them.

Nympho

"Adults, much smoother than expected, 1 Lang has taken over the Kyoto defense system. Old man.

"In the final analysis, these people are just militia. Let the 4th division go to guard them. Without my order or the emperor's order, they must not act without authorization."

"Also, have you found Crown Prince Empress?"

After the temple was leisurely drinking tea, after the shallow Yamada shelling the imperial house, the overall situation was set, and he was not worried.

"Not yet." 2 Lang had almost bent down.

"Go to find ... to report in Kyoto, the rebellion has been resolved, and currently searching for participants, the government will restore order as soon as possible."

"Hiyi!" 2 Lang bowed directly.

..............

At noon on the 2nd, the radio and broadcast reported that the rebels had been settled and the news was about to restore order.

The news 1 came out, everyone was clamoring loudly.

"I should give these people who can't be indiscriminate for 1 color."

"They should thank you for death!"

"That's right, dare to fight the royal house, it is impossible to sin!"

"We must punish him severely. We must not let him off lightly like we did before! Otherwise, this will happen again."

"But, it seemed that it was the Emperor's will that he was let off lightly..."

"Nonsense! The Emperor's head... body... Anyway, you know."

"What does that mean? Who ordered the light punishment?"

"It should be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, right? I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince usually listens to the ministers' reports on state affairs on behalf of the Emperor."

"Yes, yes, I've heard that too..."

In short, the rebellion was only suppressed by force, but the discussion on this matter has just begun.

Everyone was discussing various conspiracy theories, and the biggest conspiracy theory was the disappearance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

No one noticed that in the crowd, a short man in shabby clothes but strong and healthy listened for a long time, and then quietly retreated...

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the outside announcement said that the rebellion has been suppressed." Nagata opened the door and bowed slightly to Ikuto.

"Is it finally over? What happened to the rebels?" Ikuto sat in the room, his face a little yellow, obviously a little impatient.

"The rebels were basically killed, but everyone is discussing the bombardment of the Imperial Palace and your disappearance." Nagata looked a little strange.

The rumors were very realistic. If he hadn't stayed with Ikuto all the time, he would have suspected whether this rebellion was related to Ikuto.

You should know that in addition to the rumors that this rebellion was targeted by other princes, there were also rumors that this time Ikuto was targeting the emperor.

The people still trust this rumor very much. After all, Ikuto not only has the conditions, but also has sufficient actions.

Otherwise, how can Ikuto explain that he happened to go to the suburbs before the rebellion broke out?

And usually when the royal family members go to the suburbs, they will rush back before dark, or simply stay in the palace in the suburbs, but Ikuto has to come back when it's getting dark.

"My disappearance? Did my younger brothers do something?" Ikuto frowned, and immediately suspected that his younger brother had done something.

Even if his younger brother is still very young.

The battle for the royal family is never a one-man battle. There is a force behind each prince. Even the so-called eternal royal family of Japan has bloody royal disputes.

And some things are not decided by the parties involved. For example, if his younger brother or a faction led the matter, even if he didn't want to attack his younger brother, the power of the Crown Prince's family would not allow it.

"There are all kinds of rumors. Now the most urgent thing is that you have to stand up as soon as possible. The Prime Minister has been searching every house because he can't find you."

Nagata paused and considered the words.

"And I heard that today, His Royal Highness followed His Majesty to attend the Imperial Conference to discuss the aftermath."

Nagata's meaning is very clear, that is, if you don't act quickly, it may be made a fait accompli.

At that time, even if you can win back a position and win again, you will consume a lot of energy and waste time in the middle.

It's better to act honestly at this time.

"I see. Call the aide-de-camp and tell them to send someone to pick us up." Although Ikuto is young, he has been exposed to these things for many years, so he still understands the double meaning of Nagata's words.

"Hai!" Nagata lowered his head slightly, then turned around to make a phone call.

Speaking of which, the aide-de-camp is still his subordinate.

"Wait a minute, you just said that the Imperial Palace was bombarded?" Ikuto suddenly asked.

He wanted to ask before, but he didn't have time because the question about his disappearance was more urgent.

After all, this is something that is very likely to have a direct effect and cause his death.

Now that this matter is over, he has time to think about other things.

"Hai! The rebels fired 36 high-explosive grenades at the Imperial Palace, destroying at least 12 buildings and completely destroying more than 3 buildings. His Majesty the Emperor is currently resting in the palace." Nagata lowered his head, but his eyes were on Ikuto.

Yu Ren's face suddenly darkened, and he stood up unconsciously, walked to the side, held the wooden handrail with his hands, and squeezed it hard. His face even turned red because he squeezed too hard.

"Those who participated in this incident should be punished accordingly." Yu Ren wanted to curse, but his education and his status did not allow him to curse.

Why is the emperor a one-line dynasty? In addition to the shogunate era, the emperor was not a threat, and he had been a myth for thousands of years.

Even the shogun needed to be canonized by the emperor.

The emperor is also the highest political head of Japan and the belief of the Japanese. In Shintoism, the emperor is the incarnation of God.

It is through various ways to deify the status of the emperor that the emperor can exist for so long. Even if its oppression is very cruel, so cruel that the Japanese began to resist, no one has shaken its foundation.

But this time, the bombardment of the Imperial Palace, what kind of behavior is this? Is it an act of declaring war on the emperor?

No matter what is done, it has broken the mythical status of the emperor to a certain extent, that is, it has shaken the foundation of the emperor.

…………

"We found the Crown Prince. When he was returning, he encountered a group of rebels besieging the police headquarters. For the safety of the Crown Prince, the chief attendant Nagata hid the Crown Prince in a residential building."

"The police headquarters was captured by the rebels and abandoned by them immediately. Since then, the Crown Prince has been living next to the police headquarters."

"During the battle, that position was not important. No one fought for it, so no one knew that the Crown Prince was there."

2 Lang explained as calmly as possible, but his hand grabbing the sleeve revealed his nervousness.

This matter had nothing to do with him, and no one did anything wrong. 2 Lang's nervousness was just like the nervousness of a child facing the momentum of an adult.

"Take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the Imperial Palace as soon as possible."

"Why is the 4th Division still dithering? Let them take over the custody mission within today and not go out without orders."

"Let 1 Lang... come to see me."
