How did the Japanese army not know that after the destruction of the combined fleet of the Japanese army, the Japanese army lost the right to control the sea, and the cannons of the giant ships of the Chinese army on the seaside would eat human bones and drink human blood, but under the drive of the infantry and airships of the Chinese army, even if the first wise general of the Japanese army directly commanded Kodama Gentaro, it was useless, and had to retreat to the sea step by step.
In fact, there was no need for the Japanese army to run to the beach, and the shells of the warships and cannons of the Huaxia army flew over to greet them.
The 155 mm caliber artillery of the Huaxia Army can reach a firing range of more than 13,000 meters, while the 305 mm caliber cannon has a firing range of more than 20,000 meters, while the 350 mm, 380 mm, and 406 mm caliber cannons of the Huaxia Army have a firing range of more than 30,000 meters.
After the Japanese army enters the firing range of the ruler, it does not mean that the Chinese warship guns can carry out accurate sniping, which is something that can only be done by entering the effective firing range, but under the aerial survey and command of the airship, it is possible to cover the target with a large group of bullets.
The continuous bombardment of the navy's large-caliber heavy artillery was as fierce as the bombardment of the airships, and both sides competed with each other to cover the area where the Japanese army was located.
In this hellish environment, the officers of the Japanese army drank the spirit of bushido, but it was just a kind of self-placebo, and the Japanese army ** died as much as they wanted in the rain of steel and bullets and fire, and there was no possibility of confrontation at all.
Tens of thousands of people in the Fifth Army of the Japanese Kingdom completely collapsed, and the four or five thousand Japanese troops left by Kodama Gentaro near Weihai were completely annihilated when the Huaxia Army launched an ambush circle.
In fact, it is said that these four or five thousand Japanese troops were annihilated, to be precise, it should be said that these Japanese troops killed themselves.
Not everyone in the Japanese army has the first wise general who is not shocked by the chaos, and from the moment these Japanese soldiers are left behind, they know that they have been sent to a dead end. Bushido is like that, knowing that you are going to die. I hope that the Grim Reaper will come soon, and after a struggle, maybe I can escape from the clutches of the Grim Reaper.
So after daybreak, the broken four or five thousand Japanese troops rushed out of their positions. Charge fiercely at the Huaxia Army.
Isn't this looking for death?
Under the shroud of the powerful firepower net of the Huaxia Army, four or five thousand Japanese troops armed with single-shot rifles and Japanese knives were like moths to a fire, and they were beaten to ashes as soon as they were touched by the fire net, when the main force of the Fifth Army fell into a heavy encirclement. The whole army has been wiped out.
Kodama Gentaro knew that the only fate of those subordinates who left behind the broken rear was the annihilation of the whole army, but he didn't have a second to think about the results of the broken subordinates at this time, at this time, more than 40,000 remnants of the Japanese army in the three divisions of the Fifth Army were already like candles in the wind under the three-dimensional siege of the Huaxia Army, and they were about to be extinguished.
"My lord, what are we going to do?" Subordinates kept coming to ask Gentaro Kodama for instructions, and they all had anxious and desperate looks on their faces.
Seeing the earth-shattering firepower of the Huaxia Army, Kodama Gentaro's heart was already completely desperate at this time. But he still held his face and said without changing his face: "Back then, I defended Kumamoto Castle with only a few hundred people, and I defeated Saigo Takamori's 35,000 men and horses with just two French cannons, what is the difficulty here? ”
At the time of the Japanese Civil War, the Battle of Kumamoto Castle was the battle of Kodama Gentaro's fame.
At that time, Saigo Takamori led an army of 35,000 to besiege Kumamoto Castle, and the 25-year-old lieutenant Kodama Gentaro commanded a few hundred people, but he was really desperate, so he fought hard, found two French cannons in the city's arsenal, and personally went into battle, and fired a few cannons at Saigo Takamori's army according to the instructions. Not a single person was killed, but the "army" of 35,000 peasants was scared away.
Gentaro Kodama became famous in the first battle and won the title of "the first wise general of the Meiji period of the Wakuni Kingdom".
The subordinates saw countless shells whizzing overhead, and explosions rang out in all directions. The debris and shrapnel from the explosion flew sideways, but Gentaro Kodama did not change his face, standing in place with a command knife in his hand, unharmed.
couldn't help but be greatly admired, and according to Kodama Gentaro's request, they all hurried back to restrain their subordinates. Continue to deal with the Huaxia Army and strive for a chance to break through.
When all the subordinates walked away, Gentaro Kodama, whose face did not change, said in a hurried tone to Lieutenant Kondo, an officer of the guards, "Let's go, let's get out of here quickly!" ”
"Let's go? Where are we going? ”
Kondo Yuzo, who was still immersed in the great bushido spirit of Gentaro Kodama, was ready to fight to the death for the country and the emperor in his heart, and now when he heard such words, he suddenly realized that Gentaro Kodama was about to run away.
"It's already dead here, it's best to leave as soon as possible!"
Kodama Gentaro's words woke up Kondo Yuzo, and he began to sigh in his heart again: Sure enough, he is worthy of being the first wise general, and he has the opportunity to turn in and retreat, which is different from ordinary people!
Kondo Yuzo pulled out his whistle and prepared to summon his subordinates who were scattered and hiding nearby to come out and escape together.
But he was grabbed by Kodama Gentaro and was about to put the whistle to his mouth, and ordered: "There are too many people to leave here, just the two of us go together!" ”
"Ahh Kondo Yuzo knew that Gentaro Kodama was about to leave tens of thousands of troops and escape, but he quickly felt grateful and admired in his heart: putting him to death and coming back to life, this is the outstanding performance of the first intelligent general, and the most important thing is to bring himself to break through, which is really good.
But Kondo was confused and asked, "Where are we going?" ”
"Shhhh In the rumbling cannon, Kodama Gentaro's voice was very small, so small that Kondo Yuzo could barely hear it when he pricked up his ears: "Let's go to the beach, try to find two sets of Qing costumes for us to wear, and then find a small boat, preferably with dry food for a few days, if you can't find dry food, you can get a fishing net or a fish hook......"
Kodama Gentaro, the first wise general of the Japanese Kingdom, took the guard officer Kondo Yuzo and fled with tens of thousands of troops!
In fact, others are still unclear in their hearts, but Kodama Gentaro knows in his heart that at this time, even if there are a hundred first wise generals here, the end will be completely annihilated, rather than this, it is better to run away and go back, maybe there is still a chance to take revenge, if you don't escape, then there will never be a chance to take revenge.
Sadly, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Fifth Army of the Japanese Kingdom did not know until their deaths that the first wise general in their minds left them behind and fled with a guard officer.
The encirclement shrank smaller and smaller, and the remnants of the Japanese army could only shout "Long live the emperor" at this time, and launched a charge with the fearless spirit of bushido, and were wiped out by the fire of the Huaxia army one by one.
