.......

The decisive battle of Kyoto is not only related to whether our emperor's army can gain a foothold in Japan, but also whether our emperor can avenge the century-old trouble.

Before the war, the base camp organized a roving propaganda team of the Emperor and Ming Dynasty, and through the review of history, the propaganda team deeply imprinted the poison of the Japanese Invaders on the people along the coast and the vassal countries in the past in the minds of every officer and soldier, and the miserable life of the families of Japanese officers and soldiers under the brutal rule of the shogunate also inspired the hatred of the officers and men of the imperial army against the shogunate.

Therefore, in the battle, countless battle heroes emerged in the imperial army, and many of them were those Japanese officers and soldiers.

In the battle I personally experienced in the pursuit of the Japanese prince Tokugawa Iemitsu, there was a hero who played a decisive role.

This hero sacrificed his precious life in order to complete the mission, he was the excellent squadron leader of the first squadron of the second brigade of the fourth infantry wing, and the three amakos of Hyakohe Kojima.

In January of the forty-seventh year of Wanli, after half a month of anticipation, the various departments received an order from the army headquarters, and the great superintendent Wei Gonggong finally decided that the imperial army would launch a decisive general attack on Kyoto, Japan.

At that time, I was the operational staff officer of the Kyoto Dispatch Army, and in order for the various wings to better carry out their orders, I went to the second brigade of the fourth wing to do coordination work.

This is also my first time working from an agency to a front-line combat unit, so I am very excited. What I didn't expect was that the first order I received after I arrived at the front-line combat unit was to cooperate with friendly troops to block the road for Tokugawa Iemitsu to flee to Kyoto!

When it comes to Tokugawa Iemitsu, everyone in Japan knows that this guy is the eldest son of the Japanese chief Tokugawa Hidetada, and he is also the prince of the Japanese kingdom.

It is said that Iemitsu's grandfather, Ieyasu, gave this eldest grandson the name "Takechiyo", which means that he hoped that Iemitsu would become the third shogun of the shogunate.

In order to recapture the southwestern defense line of Kyoto, which was occupied by our army, Tokugawa Iemitsu was assigned by his father Tokugawa Hidetada to lead a force composed of more than 10,000 Japanese troops to attack our Guards Division.

From the intelligence of the division, it was learned that the Japanese army led by Tokugawa Iemitsu was the most elite soldiers and horses of the shogunate, "Fanfang soldiers", and this "Fanfang soldiers" were equivalent to the guard army of the Japanese chief Tokugawa Hidetada, and were also called why the three groups by the Japanese people. That is, the big group, the academy group and the small surname group, the group is composed of the flag book and its children, very loyal, but also very brave.

If you have to compare, then this "Fanfang Soldier" may be equivalent to the Beijing camp of our Emperor Ming Empire, or equivalent to my Guards Division.

In order to smash this attack of the Japanese army and completely overwhelm the enemy, the army headquarters organized three infantry wings, cavalry wings, artillery wings, some samurai special attack teams, and the first section of the Taiwan Imperial Allied Army to launch a resolute counterattack against the Tokugawa Iemitsu Division.

The battle lasted for two days and two nights, and when I heard that the battle was at its most intense, our great supervisor Wei Gonggong came to the line to cheer up the soldiers, and several times wanted to personally lead the troops to kill them.

With the encouragement and example of Gonggong Wei, the soldiers of our army fought bravely and inflicted heavy losses on Tokugawa Iemitsu's soldiers. On one of the heights where the fighting was most intense, the corpses of the Japanese soldiers were not lying on the ground, but on the heap of corpses. Blood stained the land red, and the streams red.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was frightened by the bravery of our imperial army, and he had never seen a stubborn army since he was born, so he chose to retreat knowing that it would be difficult to save the battle.

The movements of the Japanese army could not escape the eyes of our great Wei Gonggong, and he immediately ordered Tokugawa Iemitsu to be intercepted at all costs.

By the time our wing received the order, Tokugawa Iemitsu was already retreating.

Since the landing in Japan, the 4th Infantry Wing has been serving as the second wave of attack troops, so it has never competed with the Central Army of the Japanese State, and has only cooperated with friendly and neighboring troops to clear out some enemies who have slipped through the net, and is responsible for maintaining local law and order in the occupied areas.

Therefore, those guys who played in the front laughed at our Fourth Wing as a women's wing, so after hearing that the division ordered our unit to intercept Tokugawa Iemitsu, the officers and men gritted their teeth and vowed to make a name for themselves in a battle, so that those invincible guys could see if our Fourth Infantry Wing was a girl.

His Excellency Captain Yamamoto made a cruel remark at the officers' meeting, if anyone fails to complete the task, he must cut his own stomach like a man, and use jade to break into the prestige of the whole wing.

On the 24th, the 2nd Brigade I belonged to and the Special Attack Brigade composed of Japanese samurai were on standby at a temple called Amitoji Temple.

After receiving the order, the captain of the brigade, Dong Dahai, hurriedly ordered the officers and men to march lightly and hurriedly to Tsurusawa Gang to intercept the Tokugawa Iemitsu Department, who was fleeing in the direction of Kyoto.

After receiving the order, the officers and men had not finished breakfast, and a pillar of incense was assembled, and the second squadron leader, Kojima Sanmako, had already led the second squadron to set off first.

In a battle not long ago, Kojima-kun was wounded, but he insisted on not going to the rear hospital, saying that this battle was about whether the empire could destroy the Shogunate of All Evils and save his relatives, so unless he fell, he would definitely fight to the end.

After the departure of the second squadron, the rest of the officers and men of the brigade also set off. The cavalry wing has assigned a group of scouts from our department, and they have already reconnoitred in the direction of Kyoto.

After an hour's rapid march, our troops arrived at Iioka, the main road leading to Kyoto. At this time, cavalry reconnaissance reported that Tokugawa Iemitsu's troops were fleeing along the road less than ten miles away.

At that time, Captain Dong considered that it was impossible to intercept the enemy near Iioka, so he ordered the 2nd Squadron to penetrate the other main road, Changshiyuan.

Extrapolating from the maps provided by the division, the itinerary of the enemy and the enemy was about the same, and the 2nd Squadron, which had always been known as a Scud, would definitely be able to rush ahead of the enemy and intercept the fleeing enemy.

I deeply agree with this, and I always keep in mind the instruction of Gonggong Wei in the "Infantry Drill Code" - time is the key to victory or defeat.

At noon, through the unremitting efforts of the officers and men, the 2nd Squadron finally arrived at Changshiyuan.

The terrain is favorable, with a large cemetery to the west with sparse trees growing in the middle, and a narrow river nearby, which is ideal for guarding.

Considering that the fleeing enemy had cavalry, the leader of the squadron on the island immediately organized his soldiers to build simple fortifications and collect branches and hay. In this way, when the enemy arrives, he can use the burning branches and hay to delay the enemy's cavalry and confuse the enemy with smoke.

At the same time, the squadron leader of the island also asked the people of the cooking squad to take wooden buckets to the river to fetch water, and kept spilling them on a section of the road less than 100 meters, and dug everywhere with shovels, and at the same time ordered people to bury mines, making that section of the road not only very muddy, but also very dangerous.

In this way, you can delay the enemy, Squadron Leader Kojima, what a smart man.

Before the fortifications were halfway completed, some soldiers found that the overwhelming Japanese army brigade had already meandered in.

At this time, our unit only had more than 200 people from the 2nd Squadron of Kojima, and the large force had not yet arrived. Although the enemy was heavily damaged by friendly and neighboring troops, after all, it was led by the prince of the Japanese kingdom and there were pro-troops, and I am afraid that there were no less than thousands of people.

The disparity between the strength of the enemy and our forces is very great.

However, the officers and men of the 2nd Squadron were brave and vowed to live and die with the position.

When the enemy arrived, he found that the escape road had been blocked and destroyed by our troops, so he launched a fierce attack on our troops with cavalry.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "the poor do not pursue", and it is conceivable how fierce the enemy's attack was when he was blocked from escaping.

Due to the extreme disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, the battle was very fierce from the very beginning.

The captain of the squadron knew that the task on his shoulders was heavy, and since the large army had not yet arrived, and this place was less than thirty miles from Kyoto, the slightest relaxation could cause the enemy to escape, so he always commanded the soldiers to fight to the death in the first line, and repelled the enemy's cavalry again and again.

During the enemy's first attacks, a Japanese soldier's iron spear hit the shoulder of the squadron leader Kojima, and blood gushed out and stained his military uniform red.

In order to direct the battle, Kojima stood up in support and pointed his command knife at the enemy, shouting, "Kill the Wako, kill the Wako!" ”

At that moment, he completely regarded himself as a member of the emperor's people!

Under Kojima's command, the officers and men of the 2nd Squadron fired at the enemy with heavy firepower, and the enemy was crushed to death with large poles and grenades, and hundreds of corpses and horses fell on the road.

The enemy, desperate to flee for their lives, went crazy in despair, and the black-pressed Japanese soldiers launched more fierce attacks, and flags of various colors appeared on the road and on both sides of the road from time to time.

Inside, there are also masked Japanese generals who are also charging into battle.

In another attempt to repel the enemy's attack, Kojima was wounded again, but he persevered.

He knew he couldn't fall no matter what, he had to hold on.

Second Squadron, Iron Second Squadron!

Since its formation, the 2nd Squadron has fought the Jurchen rebels and the Korean bandits, and they believe that they are the strongest soldiers, so they are proving themselves with blood!

Officers and soldiers, from time to time someone falls.

"For the Empire!"

Again and again, Kojima stood up covered in blood, insisting on directing the battle, shooting at the enemy with all his might. Wounded for the third time, he was in critical condition.

How long can the hero's blood be shed!

In the end, the squadron leader of Kojima, who had lost too much blood, still collapsed.

But at this time, I and the officers and men of the brigade arrived, and then the main force of the wing arrived!

Red military flags converge on all sides of Tsuneishien.

I saw Kojima-kun in his dying, probably sensing my arrival, he actually opened his eyes and stared at me motionlessly, and finally, he held my hand and said weakly: "Be a Chinese, be a... Soldier of the Empire, what an honor I have in this life..."

With that, he closed his eyes.

I cried.

Thanks to the heroic fighting of the officers and men of the 2nd Squadron, the enemy was successfully blocked, and they also bought time for our troops to win.

The main force of our wing surrounded the enemy from the west and south, and the already terrified Japanese army shrank into a group, unable to advance or retreat, and was on the verge of collapse.

At the end of the day, friendly troops also arrived one after another, and surrounded the Japanese army like an iron barrel before dusk.

At this time, Tokugawa Iemitsu and his thousands of remnants of the army can be said to be inescapable!

Holding each other until late at night, Tokugawa Iemitsu sent people to our army to ask for peace talks.

The division and regiment did not dare to make an assertion, and quickly reported it to the army headquarters, and just when our army was anxiously waiting for orders from above, the great Gonggong Wei unexpectedly appeared in front of the officers and soldiers in the night.

The father-in-law, who was dressed in a royal bullfighting suit, looked very embarrassed, covered in mud, and even had bruises on his face under the firelight, and he looked like he had a big bag on his forehead.

Needless to say, this must have been the father-in-law who fell while in a hurry.

Ah, what a great father-in-law, what an adored father-in-law.

Where there is a father-in-law, it must be the most reassuring place in the world.

The imperial army is always worthy of the trust of the father-in-law;

Father-in-law is always worthy of the loyalty of the imperial army.

I quietly stepped forward and handed the towel to my father-in-law, who didn't dislike it, picked it up and wiped it on his face, and then smiled at me.

After that, the father-in-law listened to the report of the division, and after listening to it, he frowned, asked the envoy of the Japanese army to be brought, and then asked him: "You are already a turtle in the urn, what qualifications do you have to negotiate peace with my imperial army?" ——Excerpt from the memoirs of Lin Guofu, a major general of the emperor's army, in his later years, "My Years in Japan"
