Chapter 389: Landing in Wakayama

On October 25, 1902, the fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy broke into Osaka Bay and bombarded the port of Osaka.

At the same time, a huge fleet appeared in the waters near Wakayama, a large transport ship, Guo Senjun stood on the deck, let the sea breeze blow his young face, looking at the coastline not far away, Guo Senjun couldn't help but be excited, finally arrived in Japan, and could finally take revenge! Guo Senjun clenched his hands and clenched the rifle in his hand fiercely.

Guo is only 17 years old this year, and according to the decree of the Chinese Empire, the age to join the army is 18 years old or older. But Guo, who was only seventeen years old, became a glorious soldier of the Chinese Imperial Army. Speaking of Guo's experience of joining the army, there is also a twisted story. At the beginning of 1895, when the Japanese army captured Weihaiwei, Guo was only ten years old when he joined the army, and at that time he was not called Guo Shenjun, but was just a child. However, in rural areas, children of this age can already help their parents with some farm work. Guo still remembers that it was one morning, a group of Japanese soldiers broke into their village, and the Japanese soldiers were very murderous, killing many people and robbing all the food in the village. Guo escaped by collecting dung outside the village, but their entire family died at the hands of the Japanese.

Guo Senjun hated the Japanese so much, and the only belief that supported him to survive was to take revenge. Later, the Tiger Army regained Weihai, Guo was very happy to join the army, and went directly to the barracks to ask to join the army, because he wanted to avenge his parents and relatives! But he was only ten years old at the time, too young, and the Tiger Army did not accept it at all, but Guo joined the army and did not give up, and stayed in the barracks of the Tiger Army every day. At that time, a commander of the Tiger Ben Army saw that he was pitiful, so he left him in the barracks to help the cooking class cook. Guo Senjun dreamed of becoming a real Tiger Ben Army soldier, so he changed his name to Guo Senjun.

Guo joined the army and stayed in the barracks for seven years. In the past seven years, in addition to helping the old squad leader cook, Guo Senjun would go to the training ground to watch the soldiers train whenever he had free time, and gradually became familiar with those officers, and they finally acquiesced to Guo Senjun to train with them. Although Guo joined the army at a young age, he worked very hard, in addition to helping in the cooking class, he also had to train, and he was tired and half dead every day. The soldiers in the barracks changed one after another, but Guo joined the army and stayed in this barracks for seven years. Guo Senjun has also practiced a good skill, whether it is marksmanship or stabbing skills, in the entire battalion, Guo Senjun is the first. But because he was too young, the battalion commander never let him officially join the army.

Later, after the outbreak of the war against Japan, Guo was excited to join the army, because the opportunity for revenge had finally arrived. Guo Senjun excitedly went to the battalion commander, hoping that the battalion commander would agree to his request to join the army, but the battalion commander used his age as an excuse. unceremoniously rejected Guo's entry into the army.

Guo Senjun was very disappointed, and two days later when he heard that the army commander had come to inspect, Guo Senjun knelt at the gate of the barracks and stopped the army commander's car. This army commander is Hao Guanqun, commander of the Second Army of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and he is also the small battalion commander who took Guo into the military camp at the beginning. Guo Shenjun knelt on the ground and cried and begged Hao Guanqun to let him join the Eastern Expeditionary Army. Hao Guanqun relented for a while and finally agreed. But in order to protect him, Hao Guanqun asked him to join the guard regiment of the military department, Guo Senjun unceremoniously refused, "I want to go to the front line of the army, I want to kill devils." I want revenge! Guo Senjun begged Hao Guanqun loudly to let him go to the front line, Hao Guanqun thought about it and finally agreed. So Guo joined the army and finally got his wish and became a real soldier of the Chinese Empire, belonging to the Fifth Division of the Second Army of the Yu Expeditionary Force.

The Second Army landed on the island of Kyushu in late September. But at that time, the battle on the island of Kyushu was nearing its end. Guo Shenjun's unit has never caught any official battles! This time, the headquarters of the Huaxia Coalition decided to carry out a landing operation in Osaka Bay, and Hao Guanqun finally shot this mission on the basis of reason.

At this time, 30,000 soldiers of the Second Army of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, together with more than 10,000 marines, had already arrived in the waters near Wakayama by transport ship.

"Boom!" On the sea not far away, several warships began to shell the Japanese defensive positions on the shore, and there was only one squadron of Japanese regular troops in the Wakayama area, and the Japanese civilian army numbered as many as 20,000 or 30,000 people, but these people were immediately thrown into chaos under the fierce bombardment of our navy's artillery fire.

"Order all units to carry out landing operations immediately!" The supreme commander of the operation, Lieutenant General Hao Guanqun, ordered with a stern face.

"Yes!" The adjutant answered, turned and went to deliver the order.

"Everyone immediately get on the landing craft and prepare to land!" The battalion commander ran to the deck and shouted.

After Guo Senjun heard the order, he was the first to rush to the side of the landing craft, and then climbed onto the landing craft, and about half a dozen minutes later, each transport ship put down one after another small landing craft, and hundreds of small boats rushed towards the coast under the impetus of the waves.

The landing force managed to rush to the beach almost without any hindrance, because the two shore defense batteries of the little devils had already been destroyed by the heavy artillery fire of the naval fleet.

"For the sake of the Great Japanese Empire, for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, kill and give!" A group of little devil militia rushed onto the beach with loud shouts, hoping to stop the Chinese army on the beach.

"Da Da Da!" The light machine guns on the landing craft opened fire one after another, firing a rain of blazing bullets that swept a little devil to the ground. But these little devils seemed to be crazy, and still rushed forward desperately.

"Bang!" Guo Shenjun jumped off the landing craft directly, rushed towards the shore with nearly a meter of deep water, and shot at the little devil in the distance with the rifle in his hand as he rushed.

After seven years of tempering, Guo Shenjun's marksmanship at this time was extremely accurate, and even in this situation, he still accurately hit a little devil! Seeing the little devil rushing headlong on the beach, Guo joined the army without any fear after killing, and only the excitement and pleasure after revenge, he wanted to kill all these inhuman little devils and avenge the dead relatives!

"Brethren! Kill! Guo Shenjun couldn't help but look up to the sky and roared angrily, and continued to rush forward. While rushing, he pulled the bolt of the gun and kept shooting at the little devil in the distance.

The icy sea water could not stop Guo Shenjun's pace of revenge, Guo Shenjun shot the little devil while rushing! One! Two! Three! One after another, the little devils fell under Guo Senjun's accurate marksmanship. Guo Sanjun finally succeeded in rushing to the coast, although the firepower of the landing force was very fierce, but the number of little devils was too much, and they rushed over desperately. When Guo Senjun was about to raise his gun to shoot a little devil who rushed over, he found that the bullet in the chamber of the gun had been empty, and at that time, the little devil had already slashed at Guo Senjun with a katana!
