In the Japanese Independence Coalition Army, there were several white-skinned decent people, these people were instructors and military observers sent by Europe to guide the Japanese in training firearms troops, and they came to the battlefield with the army, mainly to prevent these daimyo samurai, who did not have much field combat experience with the Han army, not to make the common sense mistakes of modern warfare!

By the way, let's assess the hope of victory for the Japanese in this war!

However, after the detachments of the Japanese Independence Coalition Army were defeated by the small number of Han troops, the European military observers were completely disappointed, according to intelligence, the main force of the Han invasion army facing the front was at least more than 35,000 people, that is to say, the Han troops who intercepted the Japanese detachment in other ways could not exceed 5,000 people together!

That's less than 5,000 people scattered!

And what about the detachments of the Japanese Independence Alliance?

More than 5,000 people along the way!

In this way, it was defeated so completely, and the gap in combat effectiveness is too big......

There was even a Portuguese officer who had clashed with the Manchus and asserted that the main Japanese army at this time, most of the soldiers, were not as good as the rotten local troops of the huge empire across the sea (that is, the local defenders of the Green Camp who bullied the common people all day long)!

Although the local green battalion of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is said to be rotten, the gap in the combat effectiveness of the green battalion garrison in various places is still quite large, and the people in the rich areas are not starving to death, so the law and order is stable, and there will generally be no chaos, and the green battalion troops in this kind of place naturally have not encountered a battle for many years, and the training is lax, and the officials do not care, and the combat effectiveness is naturally much weaker, and in those areas where the people are fierce or poor, because there are often people who are hungry and crazy, there are civil unrest under the bewitchment, so the green battalion soldiers in those areas must be dispatched frequently, In order to ensure the suppression of the local civil unrest, Shangguan did not dare to deduct military salaries too much, and the number of drills would be slightly more!

At this time in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the province with the strongest combat effectiveness of the Green Battalion was the Shaanxi and Gansu regions, not only because there were poor and many people there, but more importantly, there was a fierce minority there-Huihui!

The Manchus didn't know what it meant to be a national co-prosperity and a multi-ethnic unity, and they were so ruthless in oppressing the Han people who accounted for the majority of their numbers, let alone other ethnic minorities who were inferior in number to themselves?

Therefore, those ethnic minorities under long-term oppression, often will be pressed to a limit, and then break out a civil unrest that is not a big problem for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, if the Manchu Qing Dynasty was in its heyday, the ethnic minorities who had civil unrest would be miserable, and the Manchu magnates who could create the Jiading Three Massacres in Yangzhou for ten days would not be soft to kill the mob!

If the Manchu regime was weak, those ethnic minority riots would not have spread, after all, the number of Qing troops was there, and even if the ethnic minorities were all soldiers, they would not be able to defeat them......

Of course, ethnic minorities often nested in the mountains to protect themselves, and when the Manchu Qing were weak, they were unable to attack hard, so they allowed the existence of their semi-independent villages, and waited until they had dealt with their internal affairs before taking care of these stubborn diseases......

Therefore, the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion can be regarded as one of the most capable green battalions in the Manchu Qing Dynasty at this time, at least it still has the appearance of a regular army in the feudal era, and the most unbeatable green battalion is naturally the richest area in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is naturally the southern coastal economic and trade city!

The local Manchu troops in the Portuguese population refer to these green battalions that cannot be fought the most!

The Portuguese will only have access to this green camp......

At this time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was inland, and Europeans could not enter!

In the eyes of the Portuguese, the Japanese Independence Coalition Army, which accounted for the majority of the volunteers, could not even beat the most chattering Manchu Green Battalion, so you can imagine how pessimistic they were about the prospects of this battle......

In fact, as these European military observers expected, the Japanese daimyo samurai, after discovering that the detachment they had split out had been defeated, looked at the Han position that had no intention of attacking, gritted their teeth, and sent the new army of the Tokugawa family, which was really capable of fighting, as the main force to outflank the detour!

The day after the detachment of the Japanese Independence Coalition Army set off, the position where the main force of the Japanese Independence Coalition Army confronted the Han army was covered by a group of artillery fire!

Naturally, the coverage here is not a World War I-style firepower coverage, but simply a howitzer with a poor hit rate, bombarding the positions defended by the Japanese. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On the European battlefield, this level of firepower bombardment is very powerful, but it is only powerful, even the horizontal phalanx of the infantry of the European line cannot be really destroyed here!

The power of the shrapnel is great, but if only two or three of the ten shots are hit, it doesn't matter......

It's a pity, where did the Japanese volunteers, who were placed at the forefront, see so many exploding shells smashing around them?

Wang Qiming apparently knew very well the composition of the Japanese Independence Coalition Army, and carried out an hour-long artillery bombardment regardless of the cost!

One after another, the Japanese volunteers, who were not firm in their willpower, threw away the 'cold weapons' in their hands with snot and tears, and fled back to the rear position.

At first, the daimyo samurai of the Japanese Independence Alliance Army would angrily use their katana swords to tell these courageless untouchables where they should stay, but as more and more Japanese volunteers were bombed and broke down, the samurai of the Overseer Brigade in the rear could no longer be cut down......

If the Overseers could restrain all the armies, there wouldn't have been so many routs in history!

There were too many Japanese volunteers, who were abused like dogs by one-sided artillery bombardment without even seeing the enemy's face, which undoubtedly greatly damaged the morale of the rear reserves, and even the morale of those samurai!

Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of line infantrymen who were once Tiger and Wolf Marines, stepping on the drums and stepping on the right steps, holding cute pigeon battle flags, fluttering in the wind like a guard of honor, stepped on the position of the Japanese Independence Alliance, which had not many people!

On the positions where most of the volunteers have collapsed, there are only those few people left, seeing such a neat army formation pressing over, where is there still the determination to resist?

The line infantry of the Han State only released a volley of fire, and the remnants of the entire position surrendered on their knees or fled in all directions!

The Japanese volunteers, who did not have much fighting spirit, no longer had the slightest courage to fight against the invading army of the Han Kingdom!

The Japanese daimyo samurai couldn't believe it, looking at the more than ten miles of positions they had built, and more than 100,000 Japanese volunteers were so defeated that they didn't even have a pair of pants, and hurriedly called someone to pull back the new Tokugawa army sent out!

The most 'solid' position has been lost, and the Japanese daimyo samurai have no confidence to play an unobstructed field battle with the Han invading army that has pressed over!
