"Boom!" A mortar shell exploded, and several samurai in kimonos were blown away. After falling to the ground, he was either killed or seriously injured. The katana in their hands didn't know where they had thrown it. The brave samurai, under the heavy shelling of the Chinese* army, looked so vulnerable.

The samurai of Japan, under the orders of their officers, charged forward with all their might. No matter how heavy the artillery fire of the Chinese* army is, it seems that it cannot frighten them and make them retreat. These samurai, with red eyes and hideous expressions on their faces, were like wild beasts. They didn't care about their own lives at all, and stepped on the corpses of their dead comrades until they were defeated.

"Yaga! Hurry up a little faster, and you're about to rush up. Yuji Yamamoto, who was watching the battle from the rear, saw that the Japanese samurai were constantly being blown up and killed, and he jumped to his feet in anger. Of course, he wasn't impulsive enough to rush forward with a katana himself. His status is much more noble than that of ordinary samurai. If he is allowed to charge himself, then forget it. He hoped that the Japanese samurai would be able to quickly break through the blockade of the artillery of the Chinese navy and army, rush forward, and strangle with the Chinese* army. In that case, the artillery fire of the Chinese* army will be ineffective. At that time, with the ferocity of the Japanese samurai, they will definitely be able to defeat those Chinese.

It's just that Yuji Yamamoto is obviously thinking too much. Those Japanese samurai were destined not to even be able to reach the edge of the Chinese* army.

"Heavy machine guns. Fire! "When the Japanese samurai rushed to less than five hundred meters from the forward positions of the Chinese marines, the commander gave the order to open fire from heavy machine guns. The heavy machine gunners, who had already been prepared, immediately pulled the trigger.

"Da-da, da-da!" A total of 8 heavy machine guns. Immediately a strafing fire was launched on the Japanese samurai who were charging. Bullets are fed into heavy machine guns through a guò canvas chain and then fired. The muzzle of the heavy machine gun can be clearly seen spewing crimson flames.

The dense bullets were shot at the Japanese samurai. The Japanese samurai who rushed to the front fell to the ground one after another, and blood flowers shone on their chests. Under the heavy fire of 8 heavy machine guns. Those Japanese samurai who charged were as if they had hit an invisible wall, and their heads were bleeding.

Rate of fire of the Type 44 heavy machine gun. Although only about two hundred and fifty rounds per minute. But such a rate of fire is still not comparable to that of a rifle. Eight heavy machine guns alternately strafed, forming an impermeable wall of bullets, blocking the way of the Japanese samurai.

Rows of Japanese samurai were under fire from Chinese marines. It's like cutting wheat. Rows and rows fell. The corpses were piled up neatly. The offensive of the Japanese samurai was completely contained. Although, these Japanese samurai are not afraid of death. However, in the face of huge casualties, they were still timid. Some frightened guys began to turn and run away. It's just that before he could run a few steps, he was chased by a bullet. And then lost his life. It's impossible for a man to run past a bullet.

This is the first time that the Type 44 heavy machine gun has been used in actual combat, and it is very amazing. The officers and men of the Chinese* army are very satisfied. Under such dense firepower, needless to say the Japanese, even the armies of Western countries have only one way to die. The dense fire of 8 heavy machine guns was enough to withstand the salvo of a company or even more soldiers.

Unlike the excitement of the Chinese Marines, Yuji Yamamoto, the shogunate, Wakanian Yoshiyama, suddenly turned pale when he saw the samurai being repulsed. He thought that Tokugawa Iekei, the shogun, had promised that he would be able to defeat the Chinese. But now, it is they who are defeated. Of the 2,000 brave samurai who attacked at the time of the attack, less than half of them retreated. Moreover, from everyone's panicked expressions, it can be seen that these guys have been frightened, and if they are sent to the battlefield in the next battle, it will only send them to death.

"Yaga! You cowards! You're all damned! Yuji Yamamoto yelled, pulled a Japanese samurai over and slapped him hard until he was beaten into a pig's head. And the Japanese samurai who were beaten could only bear it silently, and they didn't dare to fight back at all. Retreating without permission is a capital offense, it's good that Yuji Yamamoto didn't kill them, a few slaps in the face, it's nothing at all, as long as you can save your life, it doesn't matter if you are beaten into a pig's head. After all, although the Japanese don't care about life. But if you can live, why die?

At this time, the Japanese samurai's table xiàn had been seen by Tokugawa Iekei and others. They were also very concerned about the attack of the Japanese samurai. Therefore, after Yuji Yamamoto led his army to attack, Tokugawa Iekei and others also took binoculars and hid in a safe place to pay attention to the attack. When it was seen that the Japanese samurai suffered heavy losses under the heavy fire of the Chinese marines, and finally even collapsed. Tokugawa Iekei's face had become gloomy as water. If you look closely, you can see that his hands are shaking slightly. It's not angry, it's scared.

"Amaterasu! Is the Chinese actually so powerful? Two thousand valiant samurai couldn't even touch their side. If this continues, what a good thing to do? Tokugawa Iekei secretly exclaimed in his heart. He was completely frightened, and this battle made him intuitively clear about the gap between the shogunate's army and the Chinese* army. It also cast a shadow on this war.

The other high-ranking officials of the shogunate also had ugly faces. Even the generals who had been clamoring and insisting that the Japanese army could defeat the Chinese* army also kept their mouths shut. They were deeply shocked by the powerful weapons of the Chinese* army.

"Let Yuji Yamamoto stop attacking and come back immediately!" After Tokugawa Iekei left these few words, he returned to the shogun's palace without looking back.

"General, now is the time to employ people, Yamamoto-kun did not expect that the Chinese's firepower would be so strong, and please let Yamamoto-kun make meritorious deeds!" After sensing Tokugawa Iekei's anger, the old man Ii Naoliang hurriedly persuaded him. I was afraid that Tokugawa Iekei would dispose of Yuji Yamamoto because of this failure. Although he doesn't have a good relationship with Yuji Yamamoto, for the sake of the overall situation, he still has to keep Yuji Yamamoto. After all, the Chinese are too strong, and this defeat is not the fault of Yuji Yamamoto.

Tokugawa Iekei hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything.

Ten minutes later, Yuji Yamamoto appeared at the General's Mansion dejectedly. This defeat also dealt a great blow to him personally. The belief that he had always insisted on in his heart suddenly collapsed. The Japanese samurai are actually not invincible in the world, and the Chinese rely on the strength of their weapons to shoot the Japanese samurai lightly. This is simply incredible, and it completely subverts Yuji Yamamoto's worldview and outlook on life for decades.

"General, the lowly has come to plead guilty." Yuji Yamamoto knelt down in front of Tokugawa Iekei.

"Yuji Yamamoto, are you guilty?" Tokugawa Iekei asked angrily.

"General, guilty of contemplation!" Yuji Yamamoto didn't make any quibbles, he knew that if he quibbled, it would make Tokugawa Iekei even more angry, which would not do him any good.

"General, please forgive Yamamoto-kun this time! Although Yamamoto-kun committed the crime of underestimating the enemy this time, the main reason is that the strength of the Chinese is far beyond our expectations! Not only Yamamoto-kun, but also the rest of us have despised the Chinese. If someone else were to command the battle, it wouldn't have changed the outcome. Odai Yi Naoliang said.

"I beg the general to forgive Yamamoto-kun!" The other high-ranking officials of the shogunate also interceded for Yuji Yamamoto. As the old Ii Naoliang said, they are all the same as Yuji Yamamoto, who despise the Chinese. It's just that Yuji Yamamoto was unlucky, and he just hit the muzzle.

The expression on Tokugawa Iekei's face kept changing, in fact, why didn't he despise the Chinese army? Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to Yuji Yamamoto's actions. However, if he asked him to forgive Yuji Yamamoto, his face seemed to be a little unbearable.

"General, let Yamamoto-kun make meritorious service for his crimes! Now is the time to employ people! The old middle of the country seemed to have guessed Tokugawa Iekei's thoughts, so he hurriedly said. This also happened to give Tokugawa Ieke a step.

"Okay, Yuji Yamamoto, for the sake of so many people interceding for you, I will spare you first this time. If you can perform meritorious deeds on your sins, you will be forgiven of those sins. If you can't make meritorious contributions, you will be counted together in the future! Tokugawa Iekei said.

"General Xie!" Yuji Yamamoto said hurriedly. This time, he escaped death. If there weren't so many people interceding for him, the best outcome for him would have been to commit suicide by caesarean section.

"General, although this attack failed, I also discovered the weakness of the Chinese. Although the Chinese are strong, their strength is completely based on dependence on advanced weapons, and there is no comparison with our brave samurai. Yuji Yamamoto said.

"Oh? So do you have any way to deal with the Chinese? Tokugawa Iekei asked.

"General, we can take the form of a night attack. Under the cover of night, a large number of samurai were sent to launch a night attack on the Chinese's positions at night. At night, the Chinese's weapon superiority could not be fully exploited. Our samurai, on the other hand, will not be affected by this. On the contrary, our samurai are more adept at night fighting. In this case, we will most likely defeat the Chinese and even wipe out all the troops they have landed! "Yuji Yamamoto built yì road! (To be continued......)
