Chapter 634: Old Enemy
Wang Daqiu has no opinion on the matter of changing places again, but he is still very happy, because he finally found a fellow Taoist in the 11th Division, which is conservative everywhere, and the Xinxuan Brigade is also a group of hot-blooded young people who think about Chongchong every day, which is very suitable for Wang Daqiu's appetite. Seeing that Shangwen and the others were not very happy, they were used to this matter not being taken very seriously in Northern Manchuria, but they drove over with a brigade, how could they send a battalion commander and deputy battalion commander to dock, and getting a company commander was really a bit too contemptuous of them, only Wulin was very excited.
"I really didn't expect to have the honor to work with such a prominent figure as you, please take care of me!" As soon as he left the division headquarters, Wulin only bowed and saluted Wang Daqiu.
"Martial Arts Chief, you don't have to be so polite, let the troops rest for a while! We're going to strike early tomorrow morning! "Wang Daqiu is used to being held like this, and no matter how conservative Tong Jia is, he will not care about the life or death of the Japanese mercenaries, he can have a good fight tomorrow.
"Hay, I'll leave everything to you!" Lijian Shangwen and the others were very unhappy with Wulin's humility, but Wulin was the only one who didn't care about it, and handed over the command of the entire Xinxuan Brigade.
"The location of the attack will be arranged in the division, and the overall dispatch and command will also be arranged by your original commander! I only ask for one thing, the attacking soldiers must follow me, and no one can take half a step back until I die! "Wang Daqiu has no interest in commanding mercenaries, he just wants someone who can follow him.
After a brief explanation, and getting to know the leader of the new election team, Wang Daqiu left abruptly, leaving only the only one in Wulin and others with a dashing back. Guo Zhen said a few more words, greeted some of these Japanese celebrities, and briefly introduced the current situation. Wang Daqiu is like someone owes him money everywhere he goes, and his expression is really indebted, so Guo Zhen must follow him and maintain a good interpersonal relationship for him.
"Guo Zhen has some knowledge, lacks etiquette, Wang Daqiu is too arrogant, these Manchurians are really ...... Alas...... "Yamakawa Daizo actually didn't want to come to Manchuria as a mercenary, but he had to be condescending to the throne for the revival of the Aizu Domain, he was the elder of the Aizu Domain, and it was really a loss of identity to come to be a squadron leader." And in the Aizu War, he was the only one who performed well in the feudal army, and the lion on the other side entered the city to be his shining point, which can be called a generation of famous generals in Japan. In the face of Wang Daqiu's very impolite performance, he was also the most unbearable, so he was the first to speak out.
"Guo Zhen is just a farmer, so he naturally doesn't know any etiquette, so it's good to be able to explain it. Company Commander Wang is too prominent, and high-ranking officials such as major generals and lieutenant generals have to let him, so naturally they won't pretend to us! "The only thing in the martial arts that understands the mentality of the group of high-ranking samurai behind him, they are all high-ranking people in Japan.
"Chief of the martial arts, you have a lot of respect for that Wang Company Commander, just now I saw that Tong Jia was quite tolerant of him, what kind of person is this Wang Company Commander, a dignitary from a wealthy family?" Seeing that Shangwen was young, after all, the city government was deeper, he didn't care about some contempt, but was curious about the origin of Wang Daqiu.
"The prince will have a kind of Xiangning! North Manchurian is a place where there are many noble sons from poor families! Company Commander Wang's background is very humble, just a fugitive refugee, but he is one of the best figures in the North Manchurian army! "Wulin is the only one of Shanyu's number one cronies, and now he also has the rank of colonel, but the respect for him by Lijian Shangwen and others is also limited, and he never uses honorifics, and Wulin is still a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"Is he?" The high-ranking samurai were curious.
"Company Commander Wang started as an ordinary soldier, and he must be the first to take the lead in every battle, brave and fearless, with outstanding achievements in battle, and no less than 40 battle wounds. He is the immortal military god of Northern Manchuria, the only living first-class combat hero, his company is called the Great Meritorious Company, he is the even type in the heart of every Manchurian soldier, and is an example for everyone! "The only thing Wulin didn't say was too detailed, just a name.
"He's the guy in the military newspaper?" Sagawa Kanbei suddenly thought of a strange person he had seen in the military newspaper.
"Company Commander Wang is a frequent visitor on the cover of the military newspaper, a hero! But it's not easy to recognize! In the military newspaper you saw, Company Commander Wang was wounded in 12 places, his body was covered with gauze, and he was still forging ahead with a gun, so naturally he couldn't see his face clearly! "The only thing that Wulin is proud of, these high-ranking warriors are too conceited, they should be let see and understand.
"A person like Company Commander Wang doesn't have to go to the front line in person for a long time, he can make a report in the rear, and then enjoy a superior life. But Company Commander Wang's consciousness is high! He said that he was a hero on the battlefield, and he should always be loyal to the general on the battlefield! The only last sentence of the martial arts is said to Limi Shangwen alone, Yamakawa Daizo and Sagawa Kanbei are the nails left for the Aizu Domain, and they will inevitably not be used by Northern Manchukuo in the future, and Lijian Shangwen is his own person who focuses on training.
After a few people quarreled for a while, they arranged for the troops to rest on the spot and prepare for tomorrow's battle. In the evening, Wang Daqiu also came over in person, and he wanted to choose the commando team that would charge with him tomorrow. But after seeing the Xinxuan Brigade, if it weren't for Wulin and Guo Zhen, Wang Daqiu would have been scolded, and the Xinxuan Brigade was completely a third- and fourth-line militia arm, and it wouldn't be on the stage at all. There is no first-line equipment such as stray bullet launchers, heavy chicken guns, and rifles, and all the rifles are * Schneider, everyone carries a samurai * sword, and the tactics are very backward. If it weren't for himself, Wang Daqiu would have suspected that these people were Japanese soldiers in Kumamoto Castle.
Shinsengumi and Tachimi Naomi were loyal to the shogunate, and now that the shogunate is gone, they can only be transferred to the command of Northern Manchuria, so they can naturally be counted as their own people, but their number is too small. The main members of the Shinsenka Brigade were all from the Aizu Domain, and they were only loyal to Matsudaira Yoho, and when they came to Manchuria, they made it clear that they would not change at all. At the moment, everyone sees that the Meiji government is unhappy, so naturally they are in the same trench, but if there is a conflict between Kokokoa and Matsudaira Yoho, they are still from the Aizu domain. Therefore, these samurai of the Aizu Domain can only be regarded as allies, not their own people. Gokoko, who was slamming the door, was willing to train enemies for the Meiji government, but he was wary of every Japanese, so naturally he would not give the Shinsenka any real thing. The title of the new election brigade, a lone special case, shows the identity of these guys as outsiders.
"I've heard that the Aizu samurai are loyal and brave and good at fighting, and the new selection group is strong in martial arts, so let's use brave martial arts in the future! Leave 500 people in the rear to provide fire cover, and the rest of the people will all charge with me! Wang Daqiu, who also understood some political considerations, did not say anything about the equipment and training of the newly selected brigade, but chose the most suitable way to fight.
"Good!" Sagawa Kanbei, who was quite confident in his bravery, agreed, and he also had the heart to compete with Wang Daqiu, a Manchurian hero.
"White-knuckle fighting?" Both Shangwen and Daizo Yamakawa were a little hesitant, both of them were people who knew modern technology very well, and they had a deep understanding of guns and swords. Wang Daqiu advocates playing with the blade directly, they don't worry, rushing into the musket position, isn't it just to send them to death!
"Don't worry, I've already agreed with the division seat, tomorrow all the artillery of the division will provide us with cover, and our resistance will not be very great!" Wang Daqiu is very brave, so he can become a hero, and at the same time he is also very wise, otherwise he would not become a living hero.
Hearing that there was artillery support from the whole division, he immediately saw that Shangwen and the others were all relieved, and he had seen the strength of Manchurian artillery fire in the battle of Nihonmatsu. If it weren't for Asano's sudden recall, the outcome of the Aizu War would have been rewritten. Wang Daqiu's plan, there is another reason why he is embarrassed to say, Guo Xing'a is too ruthless to his allies. Not only are the guns of the Xinxuan Brigade not good, but the shooting training is also seriously insufficient, and after a simple experiment, Wang Daqiu is not ready to let these warriors use guns. The marksmanship of the new brigade is so poor that if they are blindly comparing and wasting ammunition, it is better to directly slash the blade and rush hard!
Early the next morning, Tong Jia, who was subdued by Wang Daqiu's ability to communicate, organized the artillery fire of the whole division, and brought a wave of imperialist punishment to Ishigaki on the northeast side of Kumamoto Castle. This time, Tong Jia is not conservative, anyway, there are Japanese to charge, of course he has made full preparations. The hour-long artillery preparation, not to mention the stone wall, even the foundation was turned over.
"Follow Lao Tzu! Long live the General! Wang Daqiu was holding a Zhongzheng II rifle and rushed out first.
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" Sagawa Kanbei They also asked for themselves, and they talked about the emperor all the time.
Wang Daqiu led a group of Japanese samurai to Kumamoto Castle with a fierce momentum, without being suppressed by any firepower, thinking that the defenders had been solved by artillery fire, but he didn't want to just kill the city, and a group of people rushed out of the city. The ammunition in Kumamoto Castle ran out, and Yasuke Oyama jumped over the wall in a hurry, and the attack method he came up with was actually a white-edged assault. The northern part of Kumamoto Castle is a highland with many bunkers, which is most suitable for hand-to-hand combat, so Yasuke Oyama also chose the assault position on the north side. Two groups of friends with blades happened to meet together, of course, the Kyushu coalition forces that had just been hit by a round of shelling were all disgraced.
"Revenge for the Sekigahara Battle! Destroy the traitors of Aizu today! "Yasuke Oyama, who personally led the team, saw Sagawa Kanbei on the battlefield of Aizu, and recognized this old enemy at a glance.
"Avenge the Battle of Wujin and kill all the thieves!" Wang Daqiu couldn't understand what was being said on the other side, but Sagawa Kanbei heard it clearly, the enemy was in front of him, and Sagawa immediately crossed Wang Daqiu and went straight to the old enemy Yasuke Oyama.
