The Canadian militia has a long history and a glorious track record.

From the initial establishment of militias in the colonies to defend against the local natives and their homeland, to later defend against the attack of the American army; So much so that he later suppressed domestic uprisings and participated in British overseas military operations, such as the Boer War.

The Canadian militia has been tempered in a long period of military operations and has become a force to be reckoned with.

The declaration of war on the afternoon of the 20th, coupled with the loss of the fortress of Detroit on the 21st, as of the 22nd, the British government had no reaction, so that the Canadian self-government gave up its illusions and was ready to give it a go and engage in a full-scale confrontation with the Lu state.

In their hearts, they also thought that as long as they could win a battle with Lu or Qi and let the British see hope, perhaps the British would be able to strengthen their determination to resist the Xia Empire.

On the 22nd, the Canadian Chief of General Staff issued a special order that the national militia must make every effort to resist the invasion of the Qi and Lu armies, and can carry out indiscriminate and any way to launch attacks on the Lu and Qi armies.

The militias in various places were quickly organized, taking advantage of their familiarity with the terrain, and launched a vigorous counterattack.

Militias in Saskatchewan and Ontario, in particular, have been particularly fierce in their resistance.

Most of the militia in Saskatchewan have been evacuated to Winnipeg, but some militia are reluctant to evacuate and will defend their homes in response to indiscriminate attacks by the General Staff.

These militias were broken into pieces, and small groups of militia carried out attacks on the Qi army, attacked the logistics supply lines of the Qi country, attacked patrol soldiers, destroyed railways, highways and bridge facilities, and harassed military camp stations. There were even some Canadian militiamen who hid behind the crowd and fired black guns at the Qi army.

Since these militiamen do not wear military uniforms, it is difficult to distinguish them from civilians, and they are familiar with the local terrain, roads, etc., so they can run when they hit and hide; Some militiamen hid directly in the mountains, relying on the surrounding residents for relief or hunting when they were hungry, and eating snow and ice in the river when they were thirsty, so as to maintain the purpose of attacking the Qi army at any time, so that the Qi army could not be guarded against.

Most of these Canadian militiamen have formal military training, and many of them have participated in many wars and have a lot of battlefield experience.

The Lu army that attacked Hamilton also encountered similar problems, which caused Lieutenant General Su Linxu to be extremely troubled by the Canadian militia.

The sneak attack of the Canadian militia caused the casualties of the Qi and Lu armies to rise, and the losses were more than the losses of the regular Canadian troops in the town.

The participation of the Canadian militia in the war seriously affected the offensive and marching of the Qi and Lu armies, and the army led by Su Linxu stopped at Hamilton; And the army led by Chen Yifeng did not fully assemble to Regina.

The self-government of Canada was very pleased with this, feeling that they had achieved their goal of slowing down the enemy's advance.

Feng Guohua was very angry after receiving the report from the front, and immediately asked Su Linxu to send someone to the Canadian Autonomous Government to issue a telegram, asking it to stop civilians from participating in the war, otherwise, Lu Guo would adopt the strategy of the British during the Boer War, establish civilian concentration camps in Canada, and start shooting civilians.

The Canadian self-government did not pay attention to Su Linxu's warning, feeling that the militia's fighting had had its due effect, and Lu's warning only showed the weakness of the Lu army.

On the evening of March 26, Lieutenant General Su Linxu was ready to give the Canadians a little bit of a look, otherwise they would have thought that the Lu army was afraid that their militia would fight.

So, at 12 o'clock that night, while Toronto was sleeping, two airships carrying incendiary bombs and grenades launched a bombing of Toronto, this time the bombing was within the bombing range of the entire city, regardless of whether it was a civilian or a military installation.

A large number of incendiary bombs were dropped from the airship, and while burning the city buildings, the resulting fire was just right to guide the personnel on the airship to carry out a second bombardment of valuable targets.

Government buildings, barracks, schools, residential areas, markets, factories, etc. were all key targets of bombing.

The bombing caused serious casualties in Canada, with extensive damage to buildings, and the most casualties among the residents who had migrated from Hamilton and others because they lived in a concentrated area and were taken care of by airships.

The entire bombing caused about 200,000 casualties, and caused a large amount of food, weapons, and ammunition to be burned, urban facilities and residential areas were even more bombed, hospitals, banks, schools, and so on were shut down, factories stopped production, and a large number of people lost their houses, food, and lifelong wealth, and were forced to live on the streets.

The fortifications of the front line were blown up, the barracks were attacked, the servicemen suffered heavy casualties, and the army lost at least half of its combat effectiveness.

At dawn on the 27th, four brigades of Japanese mercenaries, one cavalry brigade, and 50,000 horses marched together to advance to the city of Toronto.

According to Feng Guohua's meaning, first take Toronto to try the attitude of the Canadian self-government, and if the Canadian government surrenders or stops the sneak attacks of the militia, then stop this indiscriminate bombing; If the Canadian self-government continues to choose to ignore it, it will send airships to continue to bomb densely populated places such as Ottawa and Montreal, anyway, Canada's population does not exceed 6 million, and it will be seen if there is enough for the Lu army to kill.

At this time, the advantages of the Japanese mercenaries were brought into full play, and these Japanese slaughtered the Canadians without the slightest psychological barrier, completely obeying orders and obeying commands.

All the villages along the way were looted, and all the people they saw became the exploits of Japanese mercenaries, and the right ears of those who were killed were cut off and stored as proof of their exploits.

In order to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the Japanese, Lieutenant General Su Linxu specially ordered that in the battle to occupy the city of Toronto, the top 10 soldiers with the highest personal military merits will be rewarded with yuan, and all their families will immigrate to Lu and be given citizen treatment; For the top 100 soldiers in personal combat exploits, all will be rewarded with 50 yuan, and one family member can enjoy the citizenship of Lu State; The loot outside the city is all owned by the individual.

The enthusiasm of the Japanese mercenaries was fully mobilized, and by the evening of the same day, the troops had completely occupied the city of Mississauga, and it was only an empty city, which could be used as a temporary stopover for troops and a special place for baggage supplies.

On the same day, the Canadian Prime Minister and the Chief of the General Staff immediately demanded that all non-military personnel withdraw from Toronto, and that the troops must make every effort to block the attack of the Lu army and buy time for the people to move.

Since the Canadian government neither surrendered nor ordered the militia to stop the sneak attack, on the evening of the 27th, two airships received orders to bomb Ottawa and Montreal, and they must destroy these two important cities in Canada, giving the Canadian self-government a profound lesson; If they continue to be obsessed, they will continue to bomb Quebec and destroy the will of the Canadians to resist.
