Gan Hui's Kaohsiung No. 17 ship was not on the field as a reserve for the time being, he had been observing the battle situation, and when he saw that Kaohsiung No. 1 was serving as a bomb-absorbing stone on the front line, he immediately commanded the battleship to rush over diagonally, opened fire without interruption, and swept away the shore artillery.

Seeing Gan Hui like this, Siresma approached another coast to attract artillery fire, and Gan Hui assisted.

Soon, the other warships followed suit, several battleships engaged in close combat, although they ate some shells, but the density of the artillery in the southeast province surpassed that of the Japanese, and the result was a victory over the Japanese.

When the coastal batteries were completely dumb, two third-class battleships poured shells on the city!

The walls of the houses in the city collapsed, and the people were panicked.

Shimazu Tadashi actually had a surprisingly calm face, and he also sent someone to protect Hong Xiguan, otherwise he would be seppuku by the angry Japanese people!

In fact, the people he sent went in time, when in the Sakura Pavilion, Hong Xiguan and one of the troops who protected him were surrounded by Japanese samurai, and the Japanese asked Hong Xiguan to commit suicide to apologize, and the two sides were arguing.

Will Hong Shao commit suicide? He took out a pair of pistols and his men raised their guns to aim at the Japanese people, killing one was enough, and killing two was profitable.

The two sides were tense, and they almost didn't fight!

The men sent to stop the Japanese samurai, so that they could talk badly, and they cursed and dispersed.

The Japanese people left the Sakura House and went out of the city with Hong Xiguan, and the high-ranking officials in the city had already left.

Under the threat of heavy artillery, the city was unsafe everywhere and had to retreat!

The city was deserted, a depressed, terrifying scene

Motley Wa people came out from all over the city, forming a sea of people, full of people, carts, ox carts, and livestock, and bustling with people.

Suddenly, a red light flashed behind the ground, and people turned back one after another, and saw that the city was on fire, and soon the fire broke out, burning half the sky red, and all at once it provoked a riot among the people, and people ran desperately forward regardless of the road, and everyone quickened their pace, as if some devil was chasing them behind!

People crowd people, people trample on people, and the ridiculous scene makes people laugh: in the wilderness, there is a large-scale trampling, trampling on people, and even trampling on people!

People cried and shouted, the shells didn't kill a few people, and more people were killed by trampling than by bombing!

……

On the open-air deck of the big ship, the military band played passionate military music, and the officers and men were beaming with joy and stepped forward to accept the award in turn.

Siresma has won another award, and he has three medals!

In reward for his fearlessness, he was awarded a silver Melee Assault Medal, as well as a silver Medal for Meritorious Service (for commanding for meritorious service) and a Purple Heart (for battle wounded).

The battle was fierce, and he was hit on a large board that had been blown away, and his head, body, and arms were all hit.

Fortunately, he was meticulously dressed, his head was covered by a basin-type iron helmet, and his body was a deerskin vest armor, all fine, but his arms were miserable, there was no protection, he blocked it with his hands, and now he was on the splint and hanging his arms.

Yan Changwu awarded him a medal, and after kissing the medal, he said to everyone: "Mazu bless, I will wear iron bracers next time!" ”

caused a burst of laughter from everyone, and the foreigner was lively, and he asked Yan Changwu: "Overseer, can this be reimbursed?" ”

He used the term "reimbursement" with the characteristics of the national dynasty very well, Yan Changwu rolled his eyes and said, "Do you want your silver dollar to be hairy?" ”

The crowd laughed, and Siresma was rewarded with a thousand silver dollars, and he was very stingy with two pieces of iron (bracers).

It's just a small battle, but Yan Changwu is rewarded very heavily!

This is what he has always done, and he has learned from the Qing people and not from the Ming Court.

The Ming court was stingy and stingy in giving silver rewards, beating an old wild officer and soldier outside the gate, a great enemy of life and death, he didn't spend a million taels of silver in a year, he had no food and no salary, and he was very hairy!

The Qing people are not, such as the Qianlong period to pacify the Jinchuan war, but some border people rebelled, but the cost of 70 million taels of silver, in addition to military expenditure, the reward is a lot,

The reward will be rewarded to make them fearful, and the strict military discipline will make them afraid of three points!

He joked with Siresma, but the iron-wristed buckskin wrist was still a must, but the sailors didn't like it, and the marines had equipment.

Gan Hui got a silver medal of merit, in addition to firing artillery, this guy saw that the Japanese people on the shore were dead and wounded, and he was powerless to resist, so he had an idea, and immediately sent the marines to attack the shore, what was he doing?

Snatch back the crippled artillery guns!

At that time, the marines dragged thousands of pounds of cannons, carried them to the shore with all their strength, and put them into the boats that came with the fleet, and almost sank the boats... The marines who protected the boat were all tugboats on the side of the boat, and then a long rope was attached to the warship, and the boat, which was equipped with a cannon body, was towed to the side of the warship and hoisted.

The migrant workers went ashore, and two pack horses also came to help, and dragged 22 guns onto the ship, but unfortunately two guns fell into the sea due to the overturning of the boat... They are all good copper materials, and cannons cast by the Portuguese, even if they can't come in handy, can be recast as cannons or copper coins.

These two officers were greatly rewarded by Yan Changwu, especially Ceresma's behavior, which was summed up by Yan Changwu as "bayonets on artillery!" That is, the artillery arranges the artillery in front (100 meters from the enemy's front line) and uses the method of direct aiming and firing at close range to the target.

This style of melee combat with the enemy is somewhat similar to the white-knuckle combat of infantry, so it is figuratively called "bayonet on artillery".

Although Kaohsiung No. 1 was blown up to the ground, he also blew the enemy to the point of flying flesh and blood, and the human body was lifted more than ten meters high, and the combat effect was quite good.

"Yes, yes, that is, this kind of will to fight!" Yan Changwu said loudly: "Even if the enemy is iron, we are steel, as long as we are brave, there is no enemy tenacity!" ”

The steely language is deeply imprinted in the minds of the officers and soldiers, and the road to strengthening the army is moving forward!

……

The combatants were rewarded with different sizes according to their exploits, and then they ate and drank as a rule, slaughtered the live poultry and livestock of the Japanese for us to eat, and then shelled them and robbed their population.

In the next few days, the entire seaside of the Satsuma Domain was empty, the city could not be saved, and the small villages and towns were directly robbed by the Ming people, and the seaside was empty like a ghost domain.

It made the Southeast Fleet so boring, but fortunately, this situation didn't last long, and Hong Xiguan came back with a widow and sent a letter!

Edo Shogunate, Grand Imperial Palace, Letter from Tokugawa Hidetada!
