687 Bombardment of Kai Town

>,!

Kaimachi was in front of you, and five hundred foot guards this small commercial town along the coast, all the intersections and docks were blocked, and the bloodied head Kyokan frightened the people who tried to escape.

No one dares to resist, it is true that businessmen are cunning and deceitful, but they are naturally afraid of power and violence, especially in front of the violent group of the army, everyone does not even dare to breathe.

However, the war in Kaimachi was far from over, and just as everyone was waiting for the bloody battle of Osaka to end, huge sails suddenly appeared on the distant sea.

The fleet ships in the distance were very fast, and after a while, the soldiers and civilians of the Kung Fu Jie Town all saw the typical Western-style sails.

"Look...... That's a foreigner's ship, oh my God, what's wrong with us in Japan this year, no Amitabha Buddha in the south......"

"Queue up...... The musketeers were ready for battle...... "The soldiers were very suspicious, and they could see the dense cannon doors on the side of the armor from a long distance.

It was Xiao Lotian's expeditionary fleet that came, and the Kaimachi was a nail that the fleet had to pull out when it went north, and if it was stuck here, it would also block the Tokugawa army's water retreat.

Xiao Letian calmly watched the sailors on the Roma prepare for battle, Cai Mao gave various orders in front of him, the sails were lowered, the gunners were ready to shoot, and the 6 fighters had already controlled the boat, and after the artillery fire, they began to rush to the beach and board the 6.

Cai Mao walked up to Xiao Letian and stood up and saluted, "Please give the Prime Minister's order." ”

"I don't want to give orders for a battle of this scale, the command of the navy will be handed over to you, and the command of the 6th team will be handed over to Luo Huo, you two will do this...... It's just a kaimachi plus a few hundred soldiers, and I'll just watch the show......"

"Yes, Prime Minister. Cai Mao saluted, took two steps back, then turned his head and ordered the whole army, "The Roma fired three times on the starboard side...... Scatter the miscellaneous soldiers. ”

The gunners below deck had long been ready, the fifteen latest front-loading rifled guns had long been ready, and as soon as the gunners pulled the flint device, a string of sparks drilled into it.

Boom Boom Boom ...... After a series of explosions, the deck was filled with white smoke, which choked the soldiers and coughed for a while, "Clean the chamber and prepare the secondary charge......

At this time, there was jubilation on the deck: "Great...... Win or lose...... It's so exciting......"

"Stop shooting...... The 6th team released the ship to the sea...... Hurry up and ......" At this time, there was already an explosion on the dock in Jieding, Xiao Letian was surprised to see that the chain explosion almost covered the entire dock, and his jaw was about to fall in shock.

"This, this, this...... The Japanese don't understand the safety regulations, and the French don't understand either. ”

With just one salvo, countless ammunition boxes stacked on the Kaimachi pier were ignited, and the explosion tore apart the Japanese soldiers' formations, and the thick light of the fire could be seen from far away.

One dinghy after another began to paddle on the sea, and Luo Huo stood on the front of the dinghy with a command knife in his hand, shouting loudly, "Du, Du...... Didn't you have enough to eat, so you will immediately capture the town of Kai, and no one will be allowed to escape...... The fire must not allow the enemy to show smoke......"

The soldiers shouted the trumpet and waved the oars, the boat rushed forward like a dragon boat, the bow of the boat was about to be cocked, the bow of the boat had just touched the shallow water, Luo Huo was the first to jump down, and the command knife in his hand slashed forward, "Brothers...... Rush ...... me."

The general took the lead, the soldiers dared not to fight hard, and this was the first civilized modern army in Asia, and the morale did not need to be encouraged, and hundreds of soldiers crackled and jumped into the sea, and washed directly ashore from the shallow water.

"Hurry, hurry...... End the battle right away...... Immediately block the intersection and organize the people to put out the fire......" Mauser rifles rattled and the sound of bolts pulling.

At this time, Kaimachi was unable to organize effective resistance, and nearly half of the 500 defenders were killed in the explosion, and the rest were deaf and dizzy, and they could not stand steadily.

After Mauser fired a round of fire, Luo Huo urgently ordered a ceasefire, killing such a soldier who had no resistance really had no sense of achievement, "Leave this waste alone, immediately block the town...... Let this group of ordinary people quickly extinguish the fire. ”

Xiao Lotian stood on the deck, looked at the one-sided war chief, and sighed, "Hey...... The next hundred years will be the era of artillery, and only armored vehicles and aircraft will be able to replace it. ”

"What is an airplane, what is an armored vehicle. The clever Jae-chun asked from the side.

"Hehe, did I say it, you heard it wrong...... Aha......" Li Mi shook his head with a smile and avoided the topic, "Zaichun, you have to remember, the mainstream of the future war is the output of firepower, heavy machine guns and artillery will become the necessary weapons of the 6th Army, look at the results of this round of shelling, if you simply use infantry to grab the beach, how many people do you say we will die." ”

"The reason why Western warships are so powerful is actually because each battleship is a mobile artillery camp, a battleship has hundreds of guns, and a salvo can turn the enemy's position into a sea of fire, even if it is an iron man, you have to burn it......"

"I'll take you to Shanghai for a look back, you take a closer look at the British and French concessions, the location chosen is very clever, all within the range of the battleship's artillery, that is to say, as long as there is a war, the sea is their position, and the artillery can isolate all enemy charges......"

Zai Chun blinked his eyes and suddenly said, "That master has taught me before, and the technology of artillery is also changing with each passing day, and the range, firepower, and power will increase exponentially in the future...... In that case, the British and French concessions in Shanghai will also grow up at the same time. ”

"Aha...... Stinky boy is so smart...... Now you have learned another trick, the geopolitical changes brought about by the progress of military science and technology, this is what you realized yourself, stinky boy is interesting enough. ”

Jae-chun made the master's face red, and his little fists were clenched tightly.

By this time, the battle had ended, and the 6 fighters who were running wildly quickly blocked all the exits of Kaimachi, and the rifle bayonets forced the citizens to start fighting the fire, and the smoke on the dock gradually disappeared.

"General Luo Huo returned to the ship, and Kaimachi left three hundred and 6 fighters to defend, demolished the trestle bridge in Kaimachi, and destroyed the road outside the city......"

The 306 Sentai couldn't hold such a large city at all, and their role could only be to destroy the city's infrastructure and block the enemy's retreat.

The wooden pier was torn down, the road outside the city was blocked by small landslides from explosives, and even some trees that had grown for hundreds of years were cut down and blocked on the road, and the Tokugawa family's water retreat was completely cut off.

Under the horrified gaze of the people of Kaimachi, the fleet began to move north, and it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, and if nothing else, the new army of the Tokugawa family would arrive on the battlefield in three hours.

Three hours is a very short period of time for ordinary people, maybe it is a few rounds of mahjong, maybe it is a tea chat, but for the battlefield, three hours is as long as three centuries.

Osaka Castle has become a city of blood, the coalition battalion has killed all those dead in the early morning, people are holding the fragments of the imperial pennant and crying, Prince Ninwanomiya is even so sad that he faints, Saigo Takamori stabbed his face with a knife, blood flowed down from his forehead like a waterfall, and he vowed to slaughter all the living creatures in Osaka Castle.

"Slaughter, slaughter, slaughter. Saigo Takamori took off his right arm and tucked it around his waist, walked in front with half of his chest bare-chested and a sword in his hand, and behind him, Nakaoka Shintaro Takasugi Jinsakuyama Aritomo ...... Even civil officials like Hirobumi Ito followed the main general forward with a sword and walked towards Osaka Castle.

Even Ryoma Sakamoto, who has always been calm, is also in the team, and the mood of the coalition forces at this time is really fanatical, and if Ryoma Sakamoto dares to say a different opinion, he will definitely be killed on the spot.

The generals went to battle, not to mention the soldiers and samurai, who, carrying all sorts of siege weapons, began to rush forward, all shouting slogans for the slaughter of the city.

The sound of the jade shattering at the head of Osaka Castle had already broken through the sky, until this moment Tokugawa Yoshiki finally appeared, standing on the edge of the fence of the castle tower and shouting loudly.

"My most loyal samurai and soldiers...... What should we do when the enemy is about to slaughter the city. ”

"Jade Shatter...... Jade Shattered ......" The sound of waves sounded wave after wave.

"That's right, I, Tokugawa Yoshiki, are standing here, we are not lambs to the slaughter, if they want to slaughter the city, we will fight back...... Jade shattered, jade shattered, jade shattered ......"

The battle erupted under a dark cloud, and the pitch-black crowd rushed to the walls of Osaka, hundreds of ladders reached the top of the castle, and the most brutal ant-attached siege began.

Saigo Takamori shouted that he was going to climb the ladder too, but the guards samurai around him blocked him to death, "General, please press the formation, let us die for you......" Everyone was dragging him back, and the samurai rushed up the ladder one by one.

Saigo Takamori's eyes cracked, and a beast-like roar came out of his mouth, "Let me go...... I don't care about you...... Slaughter the city. At that moment, a bucket of boiling water suddenly splashed overhead.

"General. With a loud roar, the two warriors threw him to the ground, and the boiling water scalded behind their backs, and the smell of human flesh was already coming out.

The sore samurai yelled at Saigo Takamori, "General...... Your position is in the Big Tent and you are the commander...... Let's ...... about the death," he said, holding back the pain, jumping up from the ground and climbing towards the city.

It was only then that Saigo Takamori was conscious, and he let one samurai after another drag him backwards until he was more than fifty meters away from the castle walls, and it was only then that he stopped.

"Warriors of the coalition forces, I, Saigo Takamori, stand here, and I serve as the last general reserve...... I will watch you attack the city, and I will pounce on the city as the last dead man......"

"Either our entire army will die here, or we will take Osaka Castle...... Slaughter the city. Saigo roared like a wild beast.

"Slaughter the city, kill the ......"

"Duck gives, onboard, onboard......"

"Look, Ryoma-kun and Shintaro have broken through the castle...... The first wall has been taken. "This book is from 17k, the first time to see the genuine content!
