"Down with the Chinese Empire, drive out the Chinese, support the Emperor!" Come on! One by one, the enthusiastic Japanese, chanting slogans, rushed out of the city. Along the way, many infected Japanese joined in, making the team bigger and bigger. By the time the team left the city, there were already tens of thousands of people in total. Among them, there are not only officers and soldiers of the security forces, but also policemen, ronins, workers and peasants.

However, with the exception of the security forces and the police, who are armed, the rest of the people are almost unarmed. At most, they have some weapons such as katana or bamboo knives and bamboo guns. What is the difference between using such a weapon to fight the regular army of the Chinese Army and looking for death.

"It seems that the Japanese people still support us. So many people have joined us in such a short period of time. I believe that the Sendai uprising will affect the whole of Japan. When the time comes, more and more Japanese will join us, and we will definitely be able to drive the Chinese away! Yokoi looked at the fanatical Japanese with a smile on his face.

"Saigo-kun, can we defeat the soldiers outside the city? There is an infantry battalion of Chinese there, more than 700 people! Masajiro Omura said with some concern. He was a cautious person and was not fooled by the situation in front of him. Although there are many Japanese people in their organization, they all seem to be a rabble. Even the security forces did not have heavy weapons, except for rifles, the entire brigade only had two heavy machine guns and two mortars. Using such weapons to attack the regular army of a battalion of the Chinese Army can be imagined.

"I don't know, but we have to find a way to take down the Chinese barracks." There are a lot of weapons there, and only by laying down there will we have enough strength to confront the Chinese! Saigo Takamori said.

"Then let's mobilize more people! We also have in our hands a batch of weapons that we have received from the Germans, which can arm more people. In this way, our odds are much better. Okubo said.

"Hmmm! Not only Sendai, but other cities also need to be mobilized, so that the Chinese do not have enough power to interfere here. Yokoi also said. After all, things look good right now. However, whether it can succeed or not, they do not dare to pack tickets.

The Chinese* military camp outside Sendai Castle, where the troops stationed here were units of the 2nd Battalion of the 74th Infantry Brigade of the 15th Infantry Corps of the Imperial Army. There were more than 750 people in the battalion, all of whom were stationed here. Originally, there was also an infantry company in the castle, which was stationed at various important locations in Sendai Castle. However, after the order was issued by the military headquarters, the troops in various places began to shrink their strength, and all the troops sent out were withdrawn to the barracks. At the same time, the construction of defensive positions was strengthened in the barracks. Since the Japanese want to make a fuss, let them make a fuss. When the Imperial Army began to suppress it, it would be able to exterminate all the Japanese who had a rebellious heart, and solve the problem in one fell swoop.

The battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 74th Infantry Brigade of the Imperial Army was a twenty-seven-year-old young man named Fang Jie, a top student who graduated from the Imperial Army University. As soon as he graduated from school, he received the rank of lieutenant and entered the military headquarters of the 15th Army of the Imperial Army. Three years later, he was promoted to the rank of captain and became a company commander. A year ago, in the suppression of a Japanese rebellion, he made a contribution and was promoted to major battalion commander in one fell swoop.

The twenty-seven-year-old battalion commander of the major is definitely very young. In addition to Fang Jie's own ability, his identity also played a big role. His father is Fang Minghong, Vice Minister of the Imperial Foreign Ministry, and with such a relationship, Fang Jie is naturally promoted faster than others.

Of course, if Fang Jie himself is useless, even if he wants to promote him, he will not have a chance. Emperor Long Yufei has always dealt a severe blow to these nepotism. Fortunately, Fang Jie's own ability is good, and he is not complacent because of his identity.

"Battalion commander, a lot of Japanese are coming out of the city, and the target is exactly us. Those Japanese are aggressive, and many of them are still holding weapons, so it seems that the comers are not good! "A young man in his twenties reported that he was the squad leader of the 2nd winning scouting squad.

"Those Japanese are finally here! Order the troops, get into position! Major Fang Jie immediately ordered. He had long received information from the brigade headquarters that the Japanese might be going to make trouble recently. Therefore, he has been prepared for a long time.

The emergency siren sounded in the barracks, and the soldiers, no matter what they were doing now, immediately took up their weapons and entered the position.

The barracks of the 2nd Battalion were located by a river, with the barracks gate to the east, the river to the west, and the plains to the north and South America. To defend against Japanese attacks, the 1st Battalion built fortifications on three sides of the barracks. Now an infantry company on each side entered the position. The remaining infantry company and battalion headquarters acted as a reserve.

Although they were prepared, they couldn't help but gasp when they saw tens of thousands of Japanese people using it.

"Holy shit, these Japanese are crazy, they actually organized so many people? This is a blatant rebellion! Someone came, and immediately sent a telegram to the brigade headquarters that the Japanese in Sendai had rebelled, and we were attacked by a large number of Japanese. Major Fang Jie ordered.

"Yes, Battalion Commander!" The signal corps ran to send a telegram.

"Stop advancing, this is a military exclusion zone, retreat immediately. Otherwise, trespassing in a military restricted area is a capital offense! An officer of the Imperial Army, who knew Japanese, warned the Japanese on the opposite side with a loudspeaker.

This caused a commotion among the Japanese. In the minds of the Japanese, the Chinese are powerful, and when Japan was destroyed by the Chinese, a large number of Japanese were killed, which made these Japanese full of hatred and fear for the Chinese.

"Don't listen to them, there are only a few hundred Chinese inside, attack them and kill them all!" A security officer yelled loudly.

"Rush! Kill all those Chinese! More and more security officers and soldiers began to shout, and the Japanese, who had been a little hesitant, immediately began to rush towards the position of the 2nd Battalion of the 74th Infantry Brigade of the Imperial Army in a chaotic manner.

"Fire!" The battalion commander, Major Fang Jie, gave the order with a cold face.

"Da Da Da!" The muffled roar of the heavy machine gun and the light machine gun opened fire first. The dense bullets enveloped the Japanese like a storm of steel, and the Japanese, who had just rushed out of the distance, were shot and fell to the ground. In particular, those who were hit by heavy machine guns of 12.7 mm caliber had a particularly miserable end. The heavy machine guns of the Imperial Army are so powerful that if a human body is hit, the entire body will be broken in two. This makes the person who was hit, with almost no casualties, directly killed.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! "The rifles also began to fire, and instead of heavy machine gun and light machine gun fire, the rifle attack was much more purposeful. The infantry of the Imperial Army attacked almost all the soldiers of the Security Army in khaki uniforms. Compared with those rabble, the security forces have also undergone military training, and they are also a greater threat.

"Boom! Rumble! "The mortars also began to crowd out, and one shell after another fell into the crowd, and the bombers turned on their backs. Shrapnel was everywhere, harvesting the lives of these Japanese.

Soon, heavy mortars and infantry guns directly under the battalion headquarters also opened fire. The Imperial Army was armed with heavy mortars, with a caliber of 120 mm, which not only had a long range, but was also very powerful. It was perfect for infantry support firepower. Every shell that goes down will take the lives of countless Japanese.

Compared to the poorly equipped security forces and the unarmed Japanese, the equipment of the Imperial Army can be said to be armed to the teeth. Each squad had one light machine gun, and each platoon also had a heavy machine gun and a sixty-millimeter mortar. Each company had two 80-mm mortars. Therefore, even if tens of thousands of Japanese attacked the defense area of a company of the Imperial Army, they had to deal with 9 light machine guns, 3 heavy machine guns and 5 mortars. What's more, there are two battalion heavy mortars and two infantry guns. This kind of firepower is a complete disaster for those Japanese.

In just a few minutes, the front of the barracks became hell. Countless Japanese had fallen on the way to attack before they could even touch the barbed wire fence outside the Imperial barracks. Their attacks, more like suicidal attacks, hardly had any effect.

The heavy machine guns and mortars of the Japanese were knocked out by the mortars of the Imperial Army as early as the beginning of the battle. As a result, the threat posed by the Japanese to the Imperial Army was almost negligible.

"Amaterasu! Those Chinese are devils! ”

Some of the Japanese began to flee screaming, and they attacked the Chinese army camp with all their blood, but in exchange for a killing. The death of their companion quickly cooled the blood in their hearts.

The Japanese attack lasted less than ten minutes, but they left behind corpses. The Japanese who fell in front of the line of defense of the imperial property price, more than a thousand. The rest of the Japanese were frightened.

Saigo Takamori's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his first attack ended in failure, no wonder he didn't have a good face. Although, he had long expected that the Chinese Army would not be easy to deal with. However, when faced with the fierce firepower of the Chinese army, there were huge casualties, which still made him a little frightened. He even began to wonder, will they really be able to defeat such a powerful Chinese * army? Isn't it going to be another empty thing in the end? R1152
