These musketeers were accompanied by artillery with light mortars.

Although these artillerymen are not many, they are definitely more than enough to clean up a group of pirates, and there is even a feeling of killing chickens with knives.

The gunfire at the bottom of the hill soon woke up the Japanese who lived on the high ground.

Soon there was a shout on the mountain, and you could vaguely see people rushing down from the mountain.

In addition, from the northeast side of the Japanese military camp, shouts of killing also began to be heard.

The officers and men of the Qin army attacked and advanced unhurriedly according to the prior deployment.

Anyway, on this island, the Japanese have been completely blocked from retreating, and all their ships have been controlled by the Qin army's naval divisions, so the Japanese have basically nowhere to escape.

Therefore, the Qin army was not in a hurry, but slowly attacked forward, making sure to minimize unnecessary battle damage.

From the mountain, there were many Japanese robbers rushing down, many of whom held long swords in their hands, and shouted words they did not understand.

For the rabble, swarming down of the pirates, the commander of the Qin outpost ordered that the soldiers could shoot freely.

The new muskets are already completely free fire, because they have enough range and accuracy, and they are quite powerful.

Although they had hit targets in advance, they were all fixed targets, and now these would-be robbers could be used as mobile targets for the Qin army to practice marksmanship.

The sound of gunfire kept ringing out, although the marksmanship of these Qin soldiers was not accurate, but it was better than the number of people, and there were constantly Japanese robbers who were knocked to the ground on the way to run.

As the pirates continued to be killed, the ones that followed slowed down and began to hide behind trees or rocks.

Re, who was holding a musket in his hand, also began to shoot at the Qin army attacking on his back, and gunfire from both sides rang out one after another.

However, the range and accuracy of these guns were far inferior to the new muskets of the Qin army.

It was often the Qin army's muskets that could shoot at them, but their shots could only be heard. So the ping-pong fought for a long time, and the Qin army basically had no casualties.

However, the Qin army was attacking upwards, while the Japanese were condescending, hiding behind stones or trees, and it was not easy for the Qin army to hit them.

With a wave of his hand, the commander of the outpost ordered the accompanying mortar artillery to come up with a few guns and shell the pirates hiding behind the bunkers.

The artillery was also delivered with the new weapons this time.

Because of the appearance of these new mortars in the system, it is natural that specialized mortar artillery also appeared in the barracks.

Therefore, Jiang Chuan also trained a part of the mortar artillery to follow these new firearms and was sent to Weihaiwei together.

The artillerymen, who had received the order, visually inspected the hiding place of the Japanese in the mountain, first adjusted the elevation angle of the shot, and then carried out the first round of test firing.

Although the first round of test firing did not achieve any results, the shells falling from the sky and the loud explosions still startled those Japanese who were hiding behind the bunkers and secretly got lucky.

They didn't know where the artillery fire came from, because they had never seen such a curved artillery in their sight.

After the first round of test firing, the artillerymen calibrated the angle of fire of the cannon and soon fired a second round of shells. Several mortar shells whizzed out, cutting through the sky and falling behind the bunkers.

After a few rounds of shelling, the muskets in the hands of the pirates were largely muted.

The outpost commander was also amazed at the power of this small artillery when he saw the mortars at their work.

However, there was no time to think about this at this time, and with a wave of his hand he ordered the musketeers to move on.

After advancing for a while, he met a large group of Japanese robbers rushing down the mountain.

These are all cronies around the leader of the Japanese Bandits, Jiro Aoki.

These people live in the mountains with Jiro Aoki on weekdays, protecting his safety, and can be regarded as the elite of the Japanese robbers.

Most of the rear-loading rifled guns in the hands of Jiro Aoki were equipped with his cronies.

Moreover, these Japanese were obviously stronger, and although they were shocked by the heavy artillery fire of the Qin army, they still began to occupy a favorable position and began to shoot at the Qin army rushing up from the mountain.

Although the musket range of the musket was not as good as that of the Qin army, the Wakou who occupied a favorable position also began to achieve some results.

Several Qin musketeers were hit, causing the Japanese robbers on the mountain to erupt in cheers, screaming and continuing to shoot downwards indiscriminately, and it seemed that their morale had risen a bit.

However, this did not affect the fighting spirit of the Qin army officers and soldiers in the slightest, and soon someone dragged the soldiers who were shot down and handed them over to the nurses who accompanied the army behind.

The accompanying nurses quickly transported the wounded to the beach next to the pier.

On the beach, military doctors have set up improvised operating rooms waiting to treat the wounded. The wounded were quickly carried into tents.

However, these would-be would-be happy too soon, for they had met the regular army, and there were so many of them, and their firepower was far sharper, and with the help of artillery, the arrogant pirates quickly fell silent after a few rounds of shells.

The Qin army continued to charge upwards and began to hide behind cover, engaging in free fire with the pirates.

Because their firepower of the Qin army was sharper and more accurate, they soon felt tremendous pressure and began to lose to the Qin army.

The speed of the Qin army's upward assault increased, and as the distance approached, some of the Qin soldiers who rushed to the front began to throw the wooden-handled grenades in their belts.

Although the wooden-handled grenade has not yet reached the most mature stage of World War II, it has begun to take on power.

There were also more than a dozen pieces of prefabricated fragments, which fell into those dense groups of Japanese and exploded one after another, causing the Japanese to turn on their backs and wail.

The resistance of the Japanese was quickly defeated, and the Qin army successfully climbed to the top of the mountain and besieged Aoki Jiro's residence.

The Qin army, which attacked the Japanese military camp in the northeast, basically slaughtered all the way.

Those fierce Japanese robbers who were usually fierce, one by one held the sharp Japanese knives in their hands, and rushed over with a clattering and screaming.

However, in the eyes of the Qin army's musketeers, their dense charge was simply to send them to death, and rows of bullets were fired, and the pirates fell down like stubbles of wheat.

The grenades of the Qin army continued to explode in the Japanese invaders.

The mortars that followed behind also made a lot of noise, firing a few shells from time to time into the rear crowd of the Japanese pirates.

The powerful and fierce artillery fire created by the various firearms of the Qin army blew up the Japanese who rushed over the brigade in just a few minutes, and they were at a loss.

They had never seen such a sharp musket, such a fierce fire, and suddenly they became headless flies scurrying around.

The commander of the Qin army also adjusted his orders in time, and divided a pair of soldiers to pursue the scattered Japanese who had fled, while the rest continued to attack the Japanese barracks.

It is said that it is a Japanese military camp, but in fact it is a large number of houses built haphazardly, after all, these Japanese are just a rabble, a group of pirates and robbers.

The so-called military camp did not have any cover-up or defensive measures at all, so the Qin army rushed in effortlessly.

In the end, more than 1,000 Japanese who lived in the barracks, except for three or four hundred, were killed, and all the rest were taken prisoner by the Qin army.

The Qin army, which had reached the top of the mountain, soon surrounded the stubborn Aoki Jiro and a dozen of his cronies in a cave.

It's just that this Aoki Jiro refuses to surrender, screaming in the cave, and bullets are shot from time to time.

The Qin army surrounded the entrance of the cave, but because there was an order in advance to capture Aoki Jiro alive as much as possible and use his head to pay tribute to the dead Weihaiwei people, the Qin army soldiers had no choice for a while.

The outpost commander looked at the direction of the wind, thought for a while, and quickly came up with a solution.

He ordered his men to find a lot of damp firewood, pile it near the cave, and set it on fire.

The firewood and grass were damp, and when they were lit, a lot of smoke came out.

The sea breeze blowing from the sea blew the smoke into the cave, and sure enough, some violent coughing sounds were soon heard from the cave, and no more bullets were fired.

After waiting for a long time, no one ran out.

The outpost commander thought that Jiro Aoki and these would-be would-be would-be would-be smoky fainted, so he asked people to go into the cave to check.

As a result, the soldiers who entered the cave to inspect cautiously entered and found that the cave was empty.

After digging deeper into the cave, it was discovered that the cave had another exit, which seemed to lead to the bottom of the mountain.
