On the battleship in the rear, Saigo Takamori held a telescope in his hand, watched from a distance, and watched as the Japanese soldiers were sent into the sky one by one, and his eyes were dark, and he almost fell!

In less than half an hour, less than half an hour, looking at this situation, the Japanese casualties were at least more than 1,000 people!

But that's just the appetizer! Now it's time for a big meal!

Zhang Suimou could see clearly from a distance, on the beach, about three miles long and two miles wide, all the land was full of Japanese troops, and the beach had been filled, and the advance just now had destroyed half of the minefield facing the top of the tiger's mouth, and it couldn't wait any longer, the British army couldn't come up, and they could only cheapen them, and they had to attack!

"Order, all artillery batteries are on the attack! Give me a heavy artillery bombardment of the Japanese army! ”

There are two artillery companies here at the top of the tiger's mouth, one is the artillery company directly under the second brigade, and the other is an artillery company drawn from the artillery battalion, two artillery companies, twelve howitzers, four cannons, and quickly aimed at the beach!

As early as three days before the Japanese army landed, the artillery had already counted all the shooting data here, adjusted the design according to the direction, and carried out artillery strikes, which was simply accurate, not to mention that the beach is full of people now, and there are no bullets!

Boom Boom Boom ......

One shell after another roared and flew towards the beach, and the hapless Iga Taro heard the cannon sound and looked up, and more than a dozen shells rushed in his face!

"Get down! Get down! Shelling! Shelling! ”

Iga Taro roared angrily and fell to the ground first. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Some of the surrounding Japanese troops reacted, and some were still in a daze, and when they came to their senses, the shells had already fallen on the beach!

An explosion rang out, and the power of the cannonball was much more powerful than that of a mine! The hapless Japanese army is now on the beach, there is not even a stone to hide in, not even a small tree, where to hide? I can only wait to be bombed!

One by one, the Japanese army was blown up and flew up!

The Japanese army was even more panicked, it turned out that as long as they didn't run around and the bombs in the field didn't explode, they wouldn't hurt them, now? If you don't run around, you can't do it, and the cannonballs in the sky are even more threatening!

In order to avoid the fatal shells, the Japanese army went on a rampage desperately, and as a result, the mines were triggered again, and the mines and shells were used together, and the unlucky Japanese troops were completely defeated!

Fight back?

There's no way to fight back!

Now the Japanese army is only transporting the infantry to the beach, because the artillery is too heavy and has not had time to transport it, not only the artillery, but also the cavalry are also behind, without artillery, with the rifle in hand, how can it threaten the artillery company two kilometers away?

Now the Japanese army is advancing forward, blocked by mines, retreating backwards, behind which is the rough sea, standing still, then it can only be shelled, called every day should not be, called the ground is not spiritual!

Iga Taro kept roaring, trying to stabilize his position, but it was useless, and when anyone became the piece of meat on the knife board to be slaughtered, he definitely couldn't suppress the fear and panic! Not to mention the untrained Japanese army?

Yes......

Saigo Takamori watched the shells in the distance keep falling on the beach, and the Japanese army had no way to advance or retreat, and let out a desperate roar! It's tragic, it's tragic! Tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers can only wait for the slaughter on the beach! No ability to resist!

It has only been more than 40 minutes since the Japanese army advanced, and the sneak attack of the Qing army has caused more than 2,000 casualties to the Japanese army! More than a quarter! This is only the first day of war, the first hour!

"General Houghton, General Dugens, I ask your army to immediately suppress the Qing army's attack with naval artillery, if it continues like this, it will not take a day for the Japanese army to be wiped out!"

Saigo Takamori is about to cry, if the fight continues like this, more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers will definitely die without a whole corpse!

Horton and Duhengs also had gloomy faces, they didn't expect the Qing army to be so insidious!

"Order all the guns to turn their guns and launch a saturation attack on that high ground in the distance! Suppress the opponent's attack, immediately order someone to lower the sampan, prepare to transport the artillery, and once the artillery is on the beach, launch a general attack immediately! ”

Almost at the same time, the four battleships turned their guns and launched an attack in the direction of the top of the tiger's mouth, and dozens of shells rushed towards the top of the tiger's mouth!

In an instant, the top of the tiger's mouth fell into a sea of fire!

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Zhang Suimou was choked by the flames of war ignited by the British artillery fire, and scolded angrily: "Damn, damn the British, they will bully people with their ships and guns, damn it!" Leave their guns alone and concentrate your fire on the beach for me! ”

In less than an hour, the Lu army fired hundreds of shells at the beach, blowing up the entire beach beyond recognition, and the beach turned into scorched earth, and the unlucky Japanese army had no way to escape, even if it was not safe to jump into the Yellow Sea!

Before noon, the Japanese army had already paid more than 4,000 casualties, and nearly the average force was beaten and lost its combat effectiveness, and Iga Taro was injured in the arm by artillery fire!

However, the artillery fire of the British battleships continued to fall on the top of the tiger's mouth to the middle of the beach, and also detonated a lot of mines, and the minefield leading to the top of the tiger's mouth was finally opened!

Iga Taro watched the Japanese army advance again, there was no explosion, and his heart was immediately steady, as long as there were no damn bombs, what was Lao Tzu afraid of?

"All the Japanese troops obey the order, all charge, keep in line, Sass give!"

Iga Taro let out a crazy roar!

The Japanese roared and rushed towards the top of the tiger's mouth!

Zhang Suimou looked coldly at the Japanese army in the distance, and said coldly: "Order, the infantry battalion will set up the Green cannon for me and shoot!" I'm going to wipe out all these Japanese troops here! ”

The infantry battalion didn't carry too many Gatling heavy machine guns, only five, but only five heavy machine guns should not be underestimated!

The heavy machine-gun company of the infantry battalion, which received the order, immediately went into action.

Facing the Japanese army in the distance, they began to shoot wildly! Crazy strafing!

"Sudden ......"

Five Grimm cannons lined up, each Grimm cannon was no more than fifty meters apart, half-hidden behind the rocks, and began to shoot!

The Japanese soldiers who were charging suddenly heard the sound of gunshots like bursting beans, and when they looked up, they saw that five tongues of fire had already pounced on them!

It was only a little more than two kilometers from the top of the tiger's mouth to the edge of the beach, and the Japanese army's position was as wide as 500 meters, and if it broke through the minefield again, it had already entered the range of the Green artillery, not to mention that the Japanese army had already launched a charge, and it was less than 500 meters away from the top of the tiger's mouth!

The Japanese army fell like leeks one by one!
