Feng Zicai's unexpected sacrifice suddenly aroused the deepest anger in the hearts of all the Qing soldiers who were ready to attack Tokyo, that kind of anger can only exist after losing their dearest relatives, the energy that erupted is unlimited, and the final result is unpredictable

All the people held their breath and set up the artillery position a full hour ahead of schedule, and the city of Tokyo was naturally in chaos after learning the news of the loss of Mt. Fuji

Emperor Meiji has also been deeply shocked by the desperate posture of the Qing Dynasty, and the fierce artillery battle on Mount Fuji last night has made the Japanese emperor sleep all night in the palace, and the sporadic gunfire in the morning and the dazzling dragon flag on Mount Fuji have completely broken him

"Your Majesty, the Qing army has not yet attacked the city, withdraw quickly, we can make a comeback when we go to Hokkaido," Ito Hirofumi said bitterly

"No, my subjects are still here, and I will live and die with them," Emperor Meiji's deep-set eyes glowed with unusually determination

"However, Your Majesty ......" Hirobumi Ito was interrupted by Emperor Meiji before he could finish speaking

"Inform Major General Inoue, issue a proclamation, so that all the people in the city can come to the quartermaster office to receive guns, and the whole people resist the invasion of the Qing army, and I will be with them" Emperor Meiji has the characteristics common to all Japanese samurai

However, in today's view, this characteristic is quite naïve, ridiculous, and even stupid, and if the emperor had not committed this stupid act, I believe that Tokyo would not have seen the bloody scene that followed

"Your Majesty" cannot deny that Ito Hirobumi was also infected by such a firm belief

Of course, all the Japanese people were infected, whether it was an elderly man over half a hundred years old or a teenager who had just turned 14, they all got guns, and it was ridiculous that Zhao Bingjun actually got a British-made rifle

"Report, General Zhao Bingjun's secret telegram" A telegraph soldier handed a telegram to Feng Xianghua

Feng Xianghua took the telegram and looked at it, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, obviously he liked the content of the telegram very much, and he could even say that he was very satisfied, "Inform the team preparing to attack, after entering the city, take the company and platoon as a unit, and do not act alone, and kill everything that has life."

"Yes......" a correspondent turned to leave, and he went to convey this strange order

"Well, this order is kind of interesting, everything that has life? Whether it's a human or a beast, whether it's a soldier or a civilian, kill them all," Xu Bangdao said to the messenger who transmitted the order

"Brigade commander, I don't think General Feng took the Japanese devils seriously at all, and the original words of his order were to kill everything that had life, it was something," the signal soldier said in Feng Xianghua's tone

Xu Bangdao frowned and said, "Why did you suddenly give this order?" He wants to slaughter the city? Revenge for him? ”

"No, I heard from the telegraph operator that General Zhao Bingjun came to a secret telegram, saying that the Japanese people in the city had fired guns, as if they were going to fight in the streets, so General Feng was afraid that we would suffer a loss, and the Japanese people would shoot black guns, just like Commander Feng's death, so he simply struck first and killed them first."

The messenger said unhurriedly

"You kid knows a fart, go back, just say that we are ready to fight, and we can attack at any time to ensure that there is not a single thing with people in front of our troops," Xu Bangdao waved his hand

"Yes......" The communication soldier, who was still smiling hippie just now, suddenly became serious, and turned to leave as quickly as possible

At 9:30 a.m., 30 minutes earlier than expected, the massacre began

"Boom ......", "Boom ......"

At the top of Mt. Fuji, 20 German Krupp cannons of 180mm caliber rang out at the same time, and one after another shells flew to Tokyo below

Several guard fire points at the city gate were easily torn apart like fragile pieces of paper, and after an hour of heavy artillery bombardment, the impact points began to move forward, and small-caliber artillery, including Cai Ning's mortar, set up a temporary artillery position outside Tokyo, and continued to cover the shells of the places that had just been bombed

"Brigade commander, if you continue to bombard like this, why are we rushing in? It's all a dead city," Chen Shanyuan said with a pout

Xu Bangdao waved his hand impatiently, he was looking at the city with a telescope, "Have you ever seen such a big scene?" The artillery of the two main divisions has been used, haven't you seen the general order issued by General Feng? That's going to bomb for 5 hours in a row, and then we'll rush in, if you want to eat guns and no one will stop you, you'll rush."

"Brigade commander, do we need to charge in the future war? This cannon is bombarded, let's rush in and don't we get ready-made? Chen Shanyuan scratched his head and couldn't figure it out

"Don't ask, enjoy the scenery in front of you, look at it, how spectacular" Xu Bangdao said intoxicatedly

"What's so nice about this? I just want to rush in and avenge the division commander," Chen Shanyuan said nonchalantly

Xu Bangdao turned around, looked at Chen Shanyuan and said solemnly: "I'll let you rush later, you repeat the order to me."

"Yes, after entering the city, take the company platoon as a unit, and kill all the Japanese devils raised by dogs and mothers, whether they are soldiers or civilians, only those who have guns in their hands, and kill them all," Chen Shanyuan replied immediately after standing upright

"Fuck you, it's to kill all the things with life, and you can't miss them if you don't have a gun in your hand," Xu Bangdao said angrily

"Yes," Chen Shanyuan replied excitedly

The sound of artillery continued, and the area of Tokyo City near Mt. Fuji was already in ruins, and the artillery of the Qing Dynasty was still trying to spread towards their maximum range, and the mortars pushed the artillery positions forward again and again, almost putting the mortars on the castle tower

"Your Majesty, go quickly, the southern wall has collapsed, the Qing army is about to enter the city, the people and the troops of General Inoue can't stop much time anyway, let's go quickly" Ito Hirobumi was still trying to persuade Emperor Meiji

Emperor Meiji waved his hand and said, "If you go, I will die in Tokyo, I will not go anywhere, I will fight the Qing army here to the death."

"Your Majesty, with you, we will definitely be able to make a comeback, and we must not ruin the whole country of Japan because of a momentary whim," Ito Hirobumi knelt on the ground and cried

"Boom ......"

Another shell exploded near the palace, and this position was already the third shell of the day

It seems that the maximum range of the Qing army's artillery is here, and I am afraid that no matter how far it is, it will not be able to hit

"Go, let Inoue transfer all the troops to the north of the city, our buildings there are not damaged, we are going to fight a street battle with the Qing army there, and make them pay the price of blood for every step forward" Emperor Meiji is still full of passion, he will not give up until the last moment, or at the last moment, he will not give up
