Chapter 622: The Battle of Hiroshima
With a violent explosion, hundreds of grenades emptied all the pirates within twenty meters in diameter almost instantly.
The stump is broken, and the blood mist is filled!
The Japanese soldiers behind were also stopped by the violent explosion, and their ears rumbled one by one by the sound of the explosion, and they forgot to move forward with their footsteps, and the scene in front of them was really too miserable.
The first thought in the minds of many of the Japanese soldiers in the back who witnessed such a violent explosion was that if they had rushed faster just now, they would have been killed by the explosion.
Before these Japanese soldiers came to their senses, the dense fire of the Ming army's rifles and machine guns began.
"Fire!"
"Da Da Da"
The machine guns were always like a massacre against the crowd that was rushing in the crowd, and the standing Japanese soldiers were shot in pieces.
Not only the machine guns, but also the rifle firepower is not weak, and the rows of continuous fire are fired one after another, and a large number of Japanese are also killed in an instant.
Just like the Japanese soldiers on the islands of Kyushu and Shikoku, it was the first time that the Japanese soldiers on Honshu Island had seen such a way of fighting the Ming army. In the past, when they fought, they were holding samurai swords and charging and fighting face-to-face with the enemy, but at this moment, in the face of the Ming army, they couldn't even rush to the close range of the Ming army, and they were killed and wounded by the Ming army.
The soldiers of the Ming army continued to organize intensive firepower, and almost all the Japanese who rushed into the range could not escape.
At this time, the cannons on the escort battleships on the sea, as well as the cannons of the Ming artillery battalion, also began to fire, more than four hundred cannons bombarded!
"Boom Boom"
The cannonballs continued to explode among the crowd of would-be pirates, tearing apart their bodies one by one, throwing many of their corpses into the sky and falling again.
Such a scene is miserable, not only the intensive fire of rifles and machine guns, but also the bombardment of hundreds of cannons, not to mention the 300,000 Japanese invaders, even if it is a million people, it is impossible to break through the defense of the Ming army.
After paying tens of thousands of dead and wounded, the Japanese invaders were defeated like a tide.
Because he knew the power of the Ming army's artillery, Tokugawa Iemitsu did not come to the front line, so he only heard dense gunfire and cannon sounds, and he couldn't understand the specific situation, but he saw that his 300,000 army was defeated so quickly, and he almost blew up his lungs!
"Shogun, the Ming army is too powerful, the elite of the shogunate has suffered heavy casualties, and they can't fill the defense of the Ming army and fight against the Ming army!" The Japanese generals on the front line said to Tokugawa Iemitsu with an embarrassed face.
"Yaga!" Tokugawa Iemitsu scolded loudly: "You drip, all drip, all dripping! ”
Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't believe that in this big battle, he concentrated 200,000 of the most elite shogunate elites and 100,000 armies, a total of 300,000 people, and the Ming army was only 30,000 people, he was ten times more than the Ming army, if he couldn't defeat the Ming army, wouldn't it mean that the army couldn't be defeated?
Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't believe the news coming back from the front of the battlefield, and he planned to watch the battle in person.
Immediately, Tokugawa Iemitsu took several Japanese generals to climb a high slope about a kilometer away from the front-line battlefield, looking at the front-line battlefield from afar, he wanted to see with his own eyes how strong the Ming army was.
Tokugawa Iemitsu took out a monocular telescope from his bosom and looked into the distance.
At this time, because the Japanese had been defeated and retreated, and the Ming army did not pursue, there was no movement on the front line of the battlefield except for a large number of dead bodies of the Japanese invaders.
Seeing the corpses of so many shogunate soldiers on the battlefield, Tokugawa Iemitsu not only gasped for the tragedy of the war.
Originally, he didn't believe how powerful the Ming army was, but now, seeing such a tragic scene, he couldn't help but be a little shaken in his heart, it was really miserable, I am afraid that the shogunate soldiers killed and injured more than 10,000 people in that moment just now.
Could it be that the Ming army was really strong and invincible, and ten times the elite of the shogunate could not defeat them?
"Nope! My shogunate elite is protected by Amaterasu, so they should be invincible! Tokugawa Iemitsu gritted his teeth and roared with a hideous face.
"Pass my order, the shogunate elite charge, defeat the Ming army, and kill Gaga" Tokugawa Iemitsu angrily brandished his katana and ordered.
The order was conveyed, and the Japanese soldiers could not disobey and immediately launched a new round of charge against the Ming army again.
"Kill Gaga" The endless Japanese invaders rushed towards the Ming army again.
Rushing to the front are the Tokugawa shogunate elite, the most elite shogunate army, although the Ming army just now showed an incomparably strong combat effectiveness made them a little afraid in their hearts, but the shogunate's ease forced them to rush up and fight with the Ming army, can not retreat!
Many of the shogunate elite were determined to die, vowing to break through the defenses of the Ming army and fight the Ming army in close combat.
Looking at the Japanese who rushed madly to kill, the Ming soldiers had disdain in their eyes, but still disdain! No matter how many people rushed to kill, the guns in the face of them could only be killed.
Soon, the pirates rushed into range again.
"Fire!" The general of the Ming army coldly ordered.
The "Da Da Da Da" machine gun opened fire intensively, aiming at the densest group of Japanese pirates, killing and injuring a large number of Japanese pirates.
"Poof! Burst! Poof" the bullet pierced the body of the Wako, carrying blood with it.
A famous Japanese robber was shot and killed in the middle of the charge, and the Japanese who had already rushed to within 100 meters were soon beaten more than 100 meters away, no matter how crazy the rush was, it was flesh and blood, and it could not stop the blazing bullets no matter what.
In a short period of time, the Japanese invaders suffered heavy casualties again, and nearly 10,000 Japanese invaders fell on the battlefield.
In the rear, Tokugawa Iemitsu looked at the battlefield through a telescope on that high slope, if you pay attention to watching, you can clearly see Tokugawa Iemitsu's face twitching in Tieqing, I don't know if I don't look at it, but now I see it with my own eyes, he knows what kind of level the combat effectiveness of the Ming army reported by his subordinates is extremely strong, this is not only strong, it is invincible at all!
You must know that those who charge are the most elite elites of the shogunate, and they can usually take one as three, and it is precisely because of these elites that the shogunate firmly controls the power.
But now, they have no ability to resist and fall under the guns of the Ming army, which is no different from rushing forward to let the Ming army slaughter.
Tokugawa Iemitsu's heart was dripping blood.
However, by this time, it was no longer possible to retreat, and the shogunate dispatched 300,000 troops in order to defeat the Ming army in the first battle, including the root of the Tokugawa family, 200,000 shogunate elites.
If such a powerful force could not defeat the Ming army, but was defeated by the Ming army, then the blow to their own morale would be fatal, and Great Japan would probably really be destroyed by the Ming army!
Thinking that Great Japan might be destroyed by the Ming Dynasty and that the shogunate might not exist, Tokugawa Iemitsu felt like he was going crazy, and he couldn't tolerate that kind of thing anyway.
