Chapter 85: Looting and Destruction
This kind of organized looting is very efficient, especially before this, Boss Yang is well prepared, and the wealth map of Osaka has already been depicted by those commercial employees from the time he has this evil idea. Now how many companies Boss Yang has, even he himself can't count, the number of employees in these companies has reached 50,000 last year, such a huge business empire, if you want to do something that the big boss likes, it is simply more efficient than any country's zhengfu institutions.
Osaka, Kobe, Tokyo, Yokohama... The wealth map of Japan's major cities has long been drawn, even those latest fortresses have not escaped his clutches, all the power systems of the good fortress are contracted by Edison, Edison's generators must be equipped with small diesel engines or steam turbines of Young's power, so the participants in the project include several engineers of Young's power, of course, the Japanese will not know that the tragedy of this fortress has been doomed since its construction.
Just like Osaka, from the day Yang Feng set his sights on him, its tragedy was doomed, and the 5,000 heavily armed professional pirate regiment with a map of all the banks, shops, tycoons, and even temples in Osaka began to pounce on their respective targets according to the tasks assigned before disembarking.
In addition, there are some people who are responsible for sabotage, all Japanese factories, regardless of what they produce, even toilet paper are destroyed, the machines are blasted with explosives, and the factories are doused with gasoline to set fires, so that Japan's fragile industrial system will be set back by ten years overnight.
In addition, there are some people who target those schools, and their task is very simple, that is, to tusha in the past, of course, to attack those students, which will inevitably affect the reputation of Boss Yang, after all, there are still many foreigners in this city. It is understandable that the soldiers of the European powers will do this work first when they build a city, and it is also reasonable to destroy factories, and the American Civil War from north to south did not prevent Grant from becoming the president of the United States.
But to have an organized tusha children is absolutely outrageous, even if Boss Yang is rampant, it is not good to do this, so his target is those scholars and professors, hundreds of such people will die in a chaotic war, and it will not be a big deal to think that destroying Japan's present will also burn their future.
In this way, the invaders, each with their own duties, began their roulin against the city.
Boss Yang stood on the deck of the Marauder, looking at the burning Osaka with a very relieved gaze, and finally had a feeling that his wish had been fulfilled.
At this time, Tokyo had already blown up the nest, and when Ito Hirobumi got the news, he couldn't help but spurt out another mouthful of blood, and according to this amount of blood, it is estimated that the prime minister is likely to die of lack of blood after a few more times.
"Quick, quick, I want to enter the palace to face the saint." He said to the secretary in a trembling voice that the Guards Division was not something he had the right to transfer, this was the Emperor's Guard, and it would never work without the Emperor's order.
In fact, Emperor Meiji had already received this bad news at this time, and he was now more anxious than Ito Hirobumi! Osaka is the source of Japan's wealth, and the importance of the city to its own country cannot be overstated, and before Ito Hirobumi could come to the door, the order to go south had already been sent to Prince Komatsumiya, the commander of the Guards Division.
The entire Guards Division was immediately mobilized, and then met with Prime Minister Ito, and began to board the train to the south as fast as possible, although his division was not fully staffed, but it also reached the size of four infantry wings and an artillery wing, and the entire division of more than 10,000 people completed boarding in one morning, and what they did not know was that at this time the Marauder, which had nothing to do in Osaka, had also set off for the north.
Now there is really no work for it, with the advance of the five thousand heavily armed mercenaries, the whole of Osaka has been in a sea of fire, the only thing that is still controlled by the Japanese, there is also the ancient city of Osaka, before leaving, Yang Feng asked the Marauder to casually shoot a few hundred rounds of gas bombs into the city wall and then left it alone, turned around and drove east past the destroyed Yura Fortress, by the way to satisfy his nostalgia for the beauty of destruction, and then began to go north along the coastline of Japan, as long as it was within the range of naval guns, the railway bridge that could be seen, Targets such as stations were destroyed with artillery, and they slowly wandered all the way to Shizuoka, where they encountered the train on which the 1st Guards Wing was riding.
Prince Komatsumiya on the train did not hesitate to stop the speeding train when he found the strange warship flying the yellow dragon flag on the sea, and as soon as the train stopped here, the shells on the other side arrived, and thousands of soldiers hurriedly fled the train, burrowed into the nearby mountains and forests in the light of the shell explosion, and watched it blow the train apart and then turn around and leave.
At this time, Osaka has been looted almost, although this is a big city, but at this time Japan's economic level is far worse than China, Yang Feng described it as Japan's Shanghai, but it is still not the same as the real Shanghai, in fact, it is the real Shanghai, under this kind of efficient looting, the day should basically be done is done.
The primary target is nothing more than a few, the banks opened by the major Japanese, the headquarters of the Sumitomo Foundation, the branches of other Japanese foundations in Osaka, several famous temples, this is the big fat sheep, and then there are those rich people who live in Osaka, but because the Japanese like to hide the gold and silver deeper, this brings a certain degree of difficulty to the collection work, but fortunately, many rich people have not had time to escape, it is nothing more than to be arrested and tortured.
After Governor Yamada and his sword drawing team were gassed, and then killed by naval shells, several groups of brave Japanese spontaneously organized themselves to try to expel these invaders from their homes, but they obviously underestimated the combat effectiveness of these guys, not to mention those samurai who were basically based on swords, even the Japanese Army that was replaced by genuine products, and there was nothing to gain in the hands of these guys. One by one, almost as soon as they took a look at their faces, they were beaten into a sieve by dense and accurate fire.
The real Japanese army did come, it should be the garrison of Kyoto, but the number was only a few hundred, and they hurried by train through the Keihan line, and even brought two small cannons to bombard the three destroyers and six landing ships.
In addition, the Wu Zhenshou Mansion, who got the news, also sent four small torpedo boats to try to attack the fleet on the narrow Yodo River waterway, but as soon as he entered Osaka Bay, he was named one by one by the destroyer left outside to guard, and a minelayer secretly ran out of the Naruto Strait, and wanted to throw mines in the Kitan Strait, but it happened to hit the returning Marauder, and then bombarded the bottom of the sea without hesitation, but just when Yang Feng was about to pass through the Jidan Strait, he really encountered a sneak attack.
Looking at the small gunboat that came out of the Naruto Strait while firing guns, Boss Yang, who was drinking water, squirted out a mouthful of water.
This is the gunboat Hosho left behind in Kure Harbor, and now the Japanese Navy's most powerful maritime power in the Seto Inland Sea, a 300-ton wooden sailing ship, this antique more than 20 years ago tremblingly approached like an old man wielding a cane, and then sank to the bottom of the sea with a gentle push of the Marauder's naval guns.
The sinking of the Fengxiang put an end to the resistance of the Japanese, but Yang Feng was still not at ease, and called out the destroyer in charge of the vigilance, responsible for patrolling the Kii waterway, he returned to Osaka, looking at the devastated city in front of him, the goods nodded with satisfaction, and then randomly found a few factories that looked relatively complete, and after confirming that there were no people in them, let the Marauder take the ship guns to practice shooting, and then notified the troops to prepare to retreat.
However, the process of retreat dragged on for a longer time, and it was obvious that those soldiers were a little unhappy, especially at this time, many people were inevitably born after destroying enough, and it was inevitable that they would have some other thoughts, watching those Japanese women curl up helplessly in front of them like lambs one by one, at this time it is indeed easy to make people feel pity, anyway, Boss Yang has never cared about this kind of thing, so many people are working hard, and it is understandable that they can't withdraw for a while.
Yang Feng looked at the soldiers who returned in a hurry speechlessly, many of them were still carrying women.
"This dam, it's a bunch of pirates!" The creature said with an indignant face.
When Ito Hirobumi arrived the next day on a torpedo boat from the Navy, the flames in Osaka had not been extinguished, almost all factories were destroyed, countless belongings were looted, and tens of thousands of people including the governor of Osaka Prefecture were killed and wounded.
What's more, the Yura Fortress is gone, this fortress that has been under construction since 1889 and has not been completely completed until now has been bombed into a pile of rubble, and the Seto Inland Sea has since opened its gates, and it is conceivable that those gangs will never come to loot only this time, I am afraid that not only Kobe, but also Tokyo, and even Sendai may become their target in the future.
