Chapter 1338: Indulgence

"Saigo-kun? What do we do now? So many people were sacrificed in one attack. Will we really be able to take this barracks? Yokoi Xiaonan's brows furrowed tightly. Now he also found that the defense strength of the Chinese army is too strong, and it seems very difficult to rely on these untrained Japanese to destroy the Chinese army stationed here!

"Yokoi-kun, we can only try again. This Chinese military camp is like a nail nailed to Sendai, and it must be removed. Otherwise, once the Chinese launch a counterattack, we will have to face internal and external attacks! Saigo Takamori said. Sendai has become the center of the Japanese uprising, and if this Chinese* military camp is not uprooted, their safety will undoubtedly be affected.

"Okay, Saigo-kun, then you can do it. I don't know anything about military affairs, but we'll be of the greatest help to you! Yokoi said. He also knew that the capture of this barracks was the first battle they had fought in the incident, and if they could not be defeated, it would undoubtedly have a great impact on the morale of the troops.

"Yes, Yokoi-kun!" Saigo Takamori nodded.

Yokoi Konan left with Masjiro Omura and Ritsu Okubo and others, and now Sendai is under their control. They will have to continue to mobilize the Japanese people to join them. At the same time, it is necessary to contact the insurrectionists in various parts of Japan and act together. In this case, the odds of success are much greater. In addition to a few of them, Kido Takayoshi and Yoshida Shoin and others all started uprisings in other places.

After Yokoi left, Saigo Takamori once again attacked the position of the 2nd Battalion of the 74th Infantry Brigade of the Imperial Army. Under the reprimand of the Japanese security forces, under the leadership of countless ronins who are not afraid of death. Once again, the Japanese attacked. They howled like wolves and attacked the positions of the Imperial Army. Merely. They were greeted by a hail of bullets from the Imperial Army. The dense bullets knocked the Japanese to the ground, and the shock wave created by the explosion of the shells tore them to shreds.

"Boom! Rumble! Dadada! Bang! Bang! "Mortars, light and heavy machine guns and rifles were constantly firing mixed in. A symphony is formed. The entire battlefield soon became a Shura hell. The Japanese attacked without fear of death, but in the end they paid with their own lives. In the face of the well-established fortifications of the Imperial Army, the Japanese attack was completely no different from suicide.

Saigo Takamori found that the frontal defense of the Chinese army was very strong, and even if it paid heavy casualties, it could not break through. As a last resort, he had no choice but to attack from the flank. However, no matter from that side, the attack had no effect. Except for the side facing the river. The 74th Battalion of the 2nd Brigade of the Imperial Army was all defended by an infantry company. Although an infantry company had only one hundred and fifty men, it seemed a little too insignificant in the face of tens of thousands of Japanese. However, they were able to give these Japanese a blow with their sophisticated weapons.

The Imperial Army's defense line was like a reef on the seashore, allowing these Japanese to attack like waves. However, every time, the waves crashed against the reef and shattered, but it did not cause any damage to the reef.

As the casualties grew, so did the morale of the Japanese. Saigo Takamori's face was very ugly. It originally seemed like a sure attack, but it turned out to be like this. They paid a huge price for casualties, smashing their heads in front of the Imperial Army, but with no effect. As a last resort. Saigo Takamori had to give up the attack, and he planned to change the way.

Saigo Takamori ordered the siege of this military camp and cut off its external connections. Until this barracks runs out of ammunition and food. Of course. He also didn't know how long the barracks would last. As a matter of fact. In these barracks of the Imperial Army, there was plenty of food, weapons and ammunition. There will be no problem with the water source, they have their own wells. Not to mention a few months of siege, even if it is a year and a half, there is no problem. Of course, if after a year, the Japanese rebellion has not been extinguished, then the barracks will certainly not be able to hold out.

But will the Japanese rebellion last so long? That's obviously impossible. The Imperial Army was ready, and as soon as the Japanese rebellion began, the Imperial Army immediately suppressed it. Don't look at the vigorous noise of the Japanese, the scene seems to be very big. But in reality, this is just a façade. Once faced with the suppression of the Imperial Army, these Japanese would fall apart.

Even if the vitality of the Japanese rebellion this time is a little more tenacious, they can hold out a little longer. But the Imperial Army was also completely capable of organizing elite troops, and the besieged troops would go out of the encirclement.

On the same day that the rebellion broke out in Sendai, similar rebellions broke out in hundreds of places throughout Japan. Numerous security forces and police officers served as the backbone, while the Imperial Army was on the defensive in the initial stages of the Japanese rebellion. So, it's as if the whole of Japan has changed in one day.

Edo and Kyoto, the two main areas of the Imperial Army's defenses, also had rebellions, but they were not large and were suppressed on the same day. However, with the exception of Edo and Kyoto, which were still under the control of the Imperial Army, the rest of the cities seemed to fall under the control of the Japanese. This makes the people of the Japanese Emperor Zongyi faction too optimistic about the estimation of the shape shì.

After the rebellion, the safety of many Chinese in Japan was affected. Although the rebellion began, the Chinese were immediately aware of the troops and took refuge in the imperial barracks in various parts of Japan. But there were still many people who were killed in an extremely brutal way by these Japanese rebels. Of course, these Chinese who were killed were not good people in the first place, and they bullied those Japanese under the pretext that they were Chinese. So much so that now even a small life has been lost.

In fact, most of the Chinese in Japan go to Japan's red light district to consume, or engage in many shady industries. When these people die, they will not have any impact on the empire, but will purify society. Of course, in terms of manifestation, the empire will definitely make the Japanese pay a heavy price because of the killing of these countrymen. Even if they are criminals of the Empire, they must be dealt with by the Empire, and these Japanese do not have any full strength to kill the people of the Empire.

Less than half an hour after the Sendai Incident broke out, the Imperial Governor's Office in Japan received the news.

"Sendai is already in chaos, and it is estimated that other Japanese cities will soon follow suit, should we take action now?" Major General Chen Ziqing, the Imperial Governor in Japan and the commander of the 15th Infantry Corps of the Imperial Army, said with some excitement. Although, Japan is in chaos, and there is nothing good for him. However, if the rebellion can be suppressed quickly, it will also be a great achievement! Now is the era of peace, military merit is already difficult to earn, although the suppression of the Japanese rebellion is nothing, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat!

"Don't be busy, let the military camps everywhere strengthen their defenses. Make sure that Kyoto and Edo are under our control. As for the rest of the cities, if you want to mess up, let's mess up! When all the Japanese are out, we'll hunt them all down. It's better than hiding in the shadows! Among other things, now the empire is undergoing large-scale infrastructure construction, which requires a large number of laborers. Since these Japanese are restless, send them all to the construction site! Brigadier General Niu Zhiyang's face flashed with a hint of cruelty.

"Okay, that's a good idea. The empire's infrastructure and mines required a lot of workers. These Japanese are the best workers! Major General Chen Ziqing laughed.

The Japanese were indeed too many, although they were only one-twentieth of the total population of the empire. But what a size of the empire's territory! The Japanese have crowded so many people on these small islands, it is really difficult for them. Although the Japanese are a little shorter in stature and do not have much strength, after domestication, they are also a good laborer. It would be a shame not to use them on construction sites and mines.

It was precisely because of the non-intervention actions taken by the Imperial Governor-General's Office and the Military Intelligence Bureau in Japan that the Japanese rebellion became larger and larger, and in just two or three days, it swept the whole of Japan. So much so that the whole of Japan was plunged into turmoil.

Japan is in turmoil, making people such as Jiro Onodera, Keiko Mori, Shimazu Saiko, Toyotomi Yamauchi and Shigeshige Nabeshima like ants on a hot pot. Japan is in chaos like this, and it doesn't do them the slightest benefit! Don't look at the rebellion is so big now, but if you want to overthrow the rule of the Chinese, it is simply impossible. Once the Chinese suppress it, where can these Japanese still make trouble! When the time comes, it will inevitably be a river of blood.

"Damn, I knew we shouldn't have allowed the development of the Zun Wang Yi faction. In that case, there would be no mess now! Onodera Jiro's face was gloomy, as if he could drip water.

"It's all messed up, and the whole of Japan is in a mess! What can I do now? Maori was also a little panicked. Because there are a large number of security officers and soldiers among the rebels, once the rebellion is quelled, they, the commanders of the security forces, will definitely not be able to eat and walk around. Once the Chinese track it down, they can't get out of it!

"Why haven't the Chinese cracked down? They had two regular infantry corps, more than 70,000 men! If they had been dispatched, the rebellion would have been extinguished in no time! Shimazu was a little confused. (To be continued......)
