Chapter 671: The Battle of Tokyo Bay - Samurai Blade

The position is actually supported by one firepower point, and the role of the infantry in it is to check and fill in the gaps and protect these firepower points at the same time. Once the firing point is eliminated, the remaining stragglers have very limited firepower and cannot stop the enemy's onslaught.

The rate of fire is six or seven rounds a minute, but it is difficult to hit people running at high speed, and they can only rely on dense fire to suppress them. Now that the Japanese army's firepower points have basically been reimbursed, the remaining riflemen have no way to form dense firepower, not to mention that before Wang Daqiu charged, he gave them another round of *. Even the Japanese army, which had been heavily damaged, was not only in a chaotic position, but also the defense line was scattered, and no man's land appeared in many areas. The small detachment that leaped forward in groups easily cut into these blank areas and occupied a favorable position.

The Japanese army's position was completely modeled after the Manchurian Army's position, and the soldiers of the small detachment attacked it, as if they had returned home, and they were already familiar with it. The Japanese army did not trigger* this high-tech product, and could only rely on traps to control the enemy. It's a pity that they don't understand innate gossip, and the traps are all dug on some so-called necessary paths, and it's okay to deceive impulsive recruits, but Wang Daqiu's detachment is all experienced veterans, so naturally none of them have been recruited.

"Light machine guns build defenses, * assault on both flanks!" After the whole team entered the Japanese position, Wang Daqiu would not give the Japanese army a chance to breathe, and immediately organized manpower to start a strong attack, and was ready to respond to the follow-up large troops.

Wang Daqiu, who has always taken the lead, immediately took the lead after arranging the overall situation, and took the lead in killing it. In the tortuous trenches, there are still a large number of Japanese soldiers, although they are all gray and unconscious, but they are still very dangerous. As soon as Wang Daqiu rushed out of the two corners, he found more than a dozen Japanese soldiers, and a Japanese officer wearing a strange hat was organizing them to try to launch a counter-charge against a section of trench occupied by Wang Daqiu's squad.

"Da Da Da ......"* When Goxinga first came out in his previous life, he had the title of trench broom, and this thing was the most practical thing to sweep in the trenches. Wang Daqiu swept over with a shuttle bullet, and all the people who were not standing on the opposite side were put to the ground. Only two lucky ones were shot several times, but they did not die for a while, and all the others were beaten into a hornet's nest. The imitation of Bobosha*'s Tongzhi Yishi* is so fierce, not only the rate of fire is extremely fast, but the 72-round drum is full of firepower, which can be called an excellent hornet's nest maker.

Walking forward again, it was a big scene, and this time Wang Daqiu saw more than 200 Japanese soldiers. The Japanese army had completed the reorganization and made all preparations for battle, but their target was not Wang Daqiu's small detachment, which had already broken through the position, but the main force of Enyuan's division, which was charging. Of course, Wang Daqiu would not give them a chance to delay the main force, four or five * opened the way, and five * swept it over together. The Japanese army, which had been killed by nearly 100 people, was instantly disintegrated, but the remnants of the army did not flinch, and they turned their guns and killed Wang Daqiu and others, who were alone.

“*，*！” * are changing the drums, and the rate of fire of the rifle can't withstand it at all, Wang Daqiu hurriedly asked people to use * to isolate the enemy and buy himself some time to change bullets.

"Boom, boom, boom......"* exploded in the trenches one after another, stirring up dust, but the enemy killed was very limited, after all* is not omnipotent. But this little bit of time was enough, and several * men all changed their bullets, and this time they were no longer working at the same time, but shooting alternately one after the other. One* can dominate the trench for about five seconds, and five guns in rotation is twenty-five seconds, although the time is very short, but it can also ensure uninterrupted fire. A large number of Japanese troops were killed and wounded, and they had to abandon this section of trench and retreat back in order to reorganize their ranks.

"Steady, bring in two machine guns to hold the battle!" Wang Daqiu, who had hit more than 100 meters, had to stop his attack, although the killing was enjoyable, but the consumption of ammunition was just as huge, and he would have no bullets if he rushed again. The width of more than 200 meters is enough to receive Enyuan's main force in, and it is wise to wait for the large army to catch up and then break through.

"A combat hero is a combat hero, and as soon as Company Commander Wang makes a move, there is no position that he can't take! Hahaha...... "Enyuan, who stepped into the Japanese position, was very arrogant, smiling like a blooming peony flower. Now he can be regarded as showing his face, the battle is mainly fought by Wang Daqiu, but the credit for this good command must have fallen on his head.

"Brigade, calm, calm!" Wang Dezhi and Enyuan are old partners, and seeing that Enyuan was a little carried away, he quickly pulled him.

"Oh! Oh! Stabilize your position, send someone to take over the first-line attack force, and continue to advance on both flanks! Report to the rear that our unit has attacked the Japanese position, and ask the main force to follow up quickly, and we will finish the battle today! Enyuan steadied for two seconds, and then became triumphant again, and his tail was about to reach the sky. In fact, there was no need to send any more signals, as soon as most of Enyuan entered the Japanese position, Acton in the rear urgently transferred two brigades to follow up, and Guoxinga also set the tone to drive the Japanese army back into the city.

Enyuan cocked his big tail triumphantly, and Saigo Takamori, who was just a little blurry and bright in front of him, was at the other extreme. Listening to the battle situation reported by Murata Shinhachi, Saigo's heart gradually sank to the bottom. The Manchurian Army's new tactics were very sharp, and the Japanese army, which had no experience in dealing with them, was simply unable to resist it. If you have time to observe and analyze, you may be able to find a way to defeat the enemy, but where will the Manchurians give the Japanese army such an opportunity. Now that hundreds of Manchurian soldiers have occupied a large area of the position, and more than 10,000 troops are also pouring into the position, the Japanese army has no chance, and the coastal war seems to have come to an end.

"The ministries are organizing a counteroffensive, but all five of our ammunition depots have been destroyed by the shelling just now. At present, our army is not only in chaos, but also has no ammunition except for the ammunition that the soldiers carry with them! "Shinohara Kunigan wants to make up for Saigo's heart again, although this is very cruel, but he can't hide it.

"The Manchurian Army has already attacked more than 5,000 troops, occupied more than 1,700 meters, and is rapidly expanding. If we don't stop their offensive as soon as possible and drive them out of position, I'm afraid the position will change hands today! "Beppu Shinsuke just came back from outside, and he saw the latest situation, and of course he gave Saigo another heavy blow.

"Teacher, our army is no longer able to hold on, let's ask General Tokugawa for help as soon as possible!" Murata Shinpachi knew very well that at present, all the units on the coastal positions were basically on the verge of collapse, and only the fresh forces in the rear could save them.

"How long did it take for the heralds to get to the Tokugawa shogun? How long will it take for the Tokugawa shogun to organize troops to come to help? How much time will reinforcements be delayed on the road? By the time they arrived, I was afraid that the eight-star Japanese flag of the Manchurian Army had already fluttered here again! Saigo was embarrassed to ask Tokugawa Yoshiki for help, and he knew that there was no point in asking for help.

"But...... What to do! Murata Shinpachi is the only person who can be valued by both Okubo Ritsu and Saigo Takamori, he naturally knows that Saigo is telling the truth, but he really doesn't know what else to hope for other than Tokugawa Yoshiki's new force.

"And there aren't many people in Tokugawa Shogun's place, Yama Prefecture Kuaisuke took a large number of elites to deal with the Manchurian cavalry, and Tokugawa Shogun only has some recruits under him, what's the use of them coming? Why don't you stay and guard Tokyo! Saigo wanted to leave some seeds for Tokyo, but at the same time, he couldn't bear it, and those recruits rushed over and died.

"Teacher!" Shinhachi Murata and the others all fell into despair.

"I was born a samurai, so I should fulfill my responsibilities as a samurai! Bullets are not our reliance, * is our soul, let blood and swords bear witness to our loyalty! "The one-meter-eighty-one Saigo Takamori was already standing out among the Japanese, and when he stood up, he looked even more majestic.

"Born as a Yamato man, since the death of a samurai, I will swear to follow Mr. to the death!" Murata Shinpachi, Beppu Shinsuke and others all understood that Saigo had the will to die, which was the root of their worship of Saigo and their study with Saigo, and they immediately expressed their willingness to die with Saigo.

"When the samurai are indomitable, how can our generation sit back and wait for death, and order the armies to risk their lives to move forward! Even if the samurai are going to die, they will die on the way to the charge! Saigo gave the final order to attack.

Saigo, who had taken the blade, appeared like a god, and although he still couldn't see anything, he still charged with the support of several students. The Japanese soldiers, who had already used up all their bullets, looked at the mighty and unyielding Saigo, and they were all inspired, and they threw down their guns one after another, pulled out their own *, and rushed to the newly lost position with a wild shout, just like they had learned in childhood.

By this time, the Manchurian Army had completely occupied the outer edge positions, and the Japanese charge turned into a trench for them to storm the Manchurian army. Liao Xing'e, who was in charge of the command of the front-line units, looked at the Japanese troops charging with white knives and was quite emotional, and then gave the order for machine gun fire without hesitation. The Manchurian Army had concentrated more than 1,000 light and heavy machine guns on the positions, including countless rifles, rifles, and various types of artillery. Although the Japanese army had nearly ten times the strength of the Japanese army, their firepower was beyond the reach of the Japanese army. The dense rain of bullets swept everything, and the charging Japanese soldiers finally fulfilled the long-cherished wish of the samurai, and they all withered like cherry blossoms, and the splashes of blood were just like a little red on the petals of the cherry blossoms.

"Ah Jin, it's time, this is it!" The tall and blind Saigo couldn't escape the rain of bullets, being shot in both his right shoulder and left leg, and he knew his time had come. Saigo Takamori slowly knelt down, as if he was upright, bowed to Tokyo behind him, and then looked gently at Beppu Shinsuke beside him.

"ごめんやったもんせ (I'm sorry, I'm sorry)!" Beppu Shinsuke wept bitterly, but still raised his blade. If Emperor Meiji had seen this scene, perhaps he would have been happy, but there was one less person who knew the secret, and it was the most dangerous one.

"Stop! Sir, come back quickly! "At the critical moment, a person covered in blood rushed to Saigo's side.
