Chapter 874: Turning Japan into Our Dongyingshu 4

Kong Youxing moved his Chinese Island garrison brigade to the front line of the trench at a distance of 500 meters, and then commanded 13,000 Southeast Asian natives to go up and accept the command of the Japanese servant brigade.

Where there are still 9,000 troops, enough to cope with the enemy's counterattack.

The order given to the Southeast Asian servants was to rush to 300 meters in front of the enemy's first-line position, and then suppress the enemy with fire, digging trenches while attacking the enemy.

And in reserve they will continue to charge, about 10,000 Japanese servant soldiers will support them, in fact, this is the last Japanese servant soldier in Brother Zhu's hands, yesterday was the second of them to rush to the front line to help the Southeast Asian natives stabilize their positions and dig trenches.

They were to guard the starting positions dug by the natives of Southeast Asia, 300 meters from the enemy's first-line trenches 500 meters from the enemy's walls.

When necessary, they are to charge to support the natives of Southeast Asia.

When 13,000 Southeast Asian indigenous servants rushed up, the Japanese overwhelming firepower hit them in the north and south, and before they rushed out of 500 meters, the formation was a little chaotic, and the casualties were all over the place, after all, the Japanese army also knew that if the Huaxia army occupied the last trench, then they were only 500 meters away from the city wall, and the shallow moat under the city wall could not stop the Huaxia army at all.

Japan's city wall is much lower than the city wall of China, even if it is a big city, it is only a five-meter-high city wall, which is for the Huaxia army, it can only be regarded as the city wall of a small county town, and the city wall is generally more than 10 meters high, and there are more than 20 meters, of course, it is a small minority, more than 10 meters is the vast majority, because it is too high to have no value, too low to stop people, such as those cities established by the Mongols on the grassland, but the adobe wall is two meters high, and a person can run it, You can climb it.

The Southeast Asian indigenous servant army did not want to rush, but the Japanese servant army behind did not pity them, the bullet rain was more dense than hitting the enemy, and soon the Southeast Asian aborigines left about 3,000 corpses outside the 100-meter trench, and then gritted their teeth and rushed towards the enemy.

While rushing, they released their guns indiscriminately, and they didn't know if the Jingai-2 arquebus in their hands could hit the enemy 1,500 meters away, anyway, the purpose of wasting ammunition by releasing guns was to give themselves courage.

The Japanese army did not release their guns, they all knew that the Jingai-1 imitation arquebus in their hands only had an effective range of 55 meters, and it was not until 10,000 Southeast Asian natives shouted and ran indiscriminately, and when they reached a distance of 100 meters, they opened fire, using platoon guns and stray bullets to kill and injure those servants of all ethnic groups of the Huaxia Army.

In fact, the natives of Southeast Asia sometimes have more brains than the Japanese, because lazy people like to use their brains, and they rush to a distance of 100 meters and start lying on the ground, and then shoot at the Japanese soldiers with their arquebuses.

However, their marksmanship was terrible, and they did not kill or injure many Japanese, because of the unfavorable terrain on their side, and it was an open field, so the casualties were relatively heavy, but it didn't matter, they didn't dare to get up, and they didn't dare to retreat, and they could still avoid the Japanese artillery casualties, as long as they were not unlucky, the general Japanese artillery lethality was less damaged than when they stood up and charged.

As time passed, the damage they caused made the Japanese daimyo generals on the city wall feel heartache, they had 2,000 casualties for a while, and the casualties on the enemy's side were only about 1,000 people, plus more than 3,000 people who were killed by their own artillery fire and the Japanese servant army of the Huaxia Army before, it seemed that their own side had taken advantage, but their own soldiers were all demoralized soldiers who had returned from the front-line trenches, and the 5,000 soldiers in the trenches were some newly recruited inferior civilians, and there were no Japanese samurai among such people, Without Japanese samurai, there is no blood, and it is easy to collapse after a major injury.

But he can't send troops out, because once he is ambushed by the enemy and captures the city gate, then the Japanese army in the entire city will be finished, the enemy's elite troops have not yet come up, and the raids are all servant troops, he has understood, and the Huaxia army has been fighting for so many years, and it is about to be wiped out, and they know the Huaxia army better than any other.

Now the Huaxia army is surrounded on all sides, leaving no way out for them.

Just when he was anxious, the indigenous servant army of Southeast Asia was also stimulated by the attack from both sides, every nation has blood, and there are characters who are unwilling to be wiped out, so someone with the soldiers behind them began to make trouble for the Japanese army.

Two thousand Southeast Asian indigenous servants jumped up with red eyes, pounced on the Japanese trench 100 meters away, and suddenly fell to the ground when they reached 55 meters, and then a row of guns suppressed the fire of the Japanese trench defenders, and then five or six hundred servant soldiers suddenly ran forward, and when they rushed 20 meters away, although they were hit by Japanese fire from two directions, more than 200 people fell, but still more than 200 people got up and shot again, and continued to suppress the Japanese trench defenders.

Of the entire squadron of 2,000 people, more than 200 people finally rushed into the trenches, but more than 200 people caused irreversible damage to the Japanese army.

Nearly 6,000 defenders behind this side stood up violently and rushed into the trenches in a puff of air in the rain of enemy bullets, and the tragic fighting began, more than 25,000 soldiers of the Japanese trench defenders collapsed, more than 5,000 people fell in the trenches, and more than 20,000 people threw away their guns and ammunition and turned around and ran.

The 10,000 Japanese servants who followed up immediately occupied the trenches, and then watched more than 5,000 remaining Southeast Asian soldiers chasing and slaughtering those Japanese soldiers, the biggest casualties on the battlefield did not occur in the head-on battle, often when the enemy broke and fled, and the victor pursued, in this battle, there were not many Japanese soldiers who really ran to the moat, about 5,000 soldiers, in the moat, they died more than 1,000 people, and finally 4,000 soldiers were picked up by the defenders in the city who received them.

So far, the Huaxia army has killed and wounded nearly 40,000 servants, completely seized the Japanese army's positions outside the city, and surrounded the capital city of Kyoto.

Kong Youxing immediately pushed the position forward, pulled the cannon into the range of the Japanese artillery, and then set up the cannon to bombard the artillery on the Japanese city wall, facing the artillery superiority of the Huaxia Army, the Japanese artillery did not have any advantage.

Brother Zhu was very satisfied, and immediately pulled up the heavy siege guns of the corps headquarters, the twenty-four-pounder guns and thirty-two-pounder guns of the artillery regiment, the mobility was poor, but that guy, attacking the city walls and buildings was very daunting.

Six 24-pounder guns, four 32-pounder cannons, with nearly 1,200 people waiting, only one round of firepower, the Japanese city wall cracked a gap, two rounds of artillery destroyed the city gate tower and a large section of the city wall on the battlements, swept the city wall a few small Qing 18-pounder cannons, the third round directly knocked out a five or six meters on a section of the city wall, the fourth round, after the deafening sound of artillery, the entire section of the city wall collapsed more than 30 meters of opening, but it was not connected to the five or six meters of opening, the fifth round, Bombarding the remaining 100 meters of the wall in the middle, the entire 180 meters of the wall was blown down, forming a rugged, about a meter high, with staggered gaps.

"Kill," the remaining nearly 22,000 Japanese servants and Southeast Asian servants held their arquebuses with bayonets, roared angrily, and rushed to the gap in the city wall from 500 meters.

By the time they recovered and the Japanese reinforcements in the rear arrived, 22,000 servant soldiers had already entered the city through the gap, these were all servant soldiers who did not participate in the final battle, or did not take the enemy's defense line, and the remaining servants of the two tribes who finally won the defense line, more than 3,000 natives of Southeast Asia, and more than 5,000 Japanese servant soldiers, were pulled to the rear to rest.

Eat and drink well, they have proven their worth, they have the right to be official citizens of the Huaxia Army, and they have the right to be naturalized second-class citizens, but the Han people have to join the army, and they have to continue to serve in the army.

The wounded, pulled to the rear and carefully treated, and those who were not injured, until tomorrow they will go and lead those newly recruited servant soldiers to become the backbone of that army.

High-level cannon fodder is better than low-level cannon fodder, and the efficiency is greater, neither Brother Zhu nor Zhang Qiang are fools, they can't be wasted in vain just because they want to consume these alien races, and they must be used to the fullest.

With 80,000 servant soldiers fighting the remaining 22,000 available troops, Brother Zhu praised the Japanese for learning quickly and being an opponent, and at the same time sighed that the fruits of his labor were very fruitful, except for more than 10,000 elite soldiers who had proved their strength, there were probably not many of the more than 20,000 people who could survive.

But it is definitely not enough, the Japanese army is definitely impossible to succumb, street fighting is inevitable, he immediately sent an order for Kong Youxing to send the garrison brigade in the near area to help expand the results of the battle, and use artillery to support those servant soldiers, people can't be forced to be in a hurry, they must have their own people watching, otherwise at this time they were rebelled by the Japanese army in the city, and rushed out of it was 20,000 tigers who had seen blood, and they had to be guarded, and there were garrison brigades wearing regular army uniforms to go in, escort them to fight, and at the same time help them bear some, their morale will not collapse.

Tigers are going to fight back.

He sent a garrison brigade in the short-distance area, most of which were elite garrison brigades promoted by Japanese servants from Shikoku and Sinrofu, and the strength was definitely not enough, so he sent the garrison brigade on China Island to attack the Japanese city from another direction.

In the afternoon, the newly recruited short-distance area, the servant soldiers of China Island came, and then selected some servant army officers from the two garrison brigades to take them to reinforce the city.

In this way, he threw a total of 70,000 troops into the city, and when a city was breached, about 100,000 Japanese soldiers who resisted stubbornly felt that it was almost enough.

The battle lasted until late at night, and at this time, the servants sent by China Island, Siguo Mansion, and Xinlu Mansion were all in place, about 30,000 troops, and Brother Zhu handed over these troops to Kong Youxing, and Kong Youxing asked the garrison brigade of Siguo Mansion to take them to reinforce the city.

Now there is nothing to care about, hand over the battlefield to Kong Youxing, and hand over the task of vigilance to He Jie, Gao Hui is leading his division to guard and surround the capital city of Kyoto in other directions at this time, and after reminding him, he will return to Osaka.
