Chapter 247: Tucson Offensive and Defensive Battle I
Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Readers who like this book greatly, come to the starting point to support the genuine version, the author has bowed to you!
The Japanese servants left hundreds of corpses behind, and they were brought back without even getting close to the musket range of the Spaniard lines......
This means that the Spaniards were in the fortifications and did not pursue, if in the field, the lethality of this kind of Japanese servant army to their own people is more terrible than that of the enemy!
Of course, in the offensive and defensive battle of the Tucson fortress, whether it is the commander-in-chief Wang Qiming or the front-line infantry commander Mondora, there is no need to worry about this problem, the fortifications can reduce their own casualties at the same time, but also greatly limit the offensive ability of the Spaniards!
Moreover, the defenders of the Tucson fortress were divided by the huge fortress system, and how many people were placed in the outer defense line?
Unless the Spanish army is all perverts with a constant and full morale value, otherwise, the counter-charge against tens of thousands of troops will not be completely annihilated, which will be considered elite!
This is the reason why the Imperial Staff transferred cannon fodder from Japan, the Japanese are far from home and have low morale, anyway, as long as they can charge and die!
After the rout of the Japanese 1st Division, the artillery, which was exposed by the Spanish outer defense line, was scrapped one by one by hundreds of artillery units with the absolute superiority of the Han Empire, and by the way, more gaps were made in the fortifications of the Spanish defense line......
Subsequently, Mondora's men and the senior officers of the Japanese servant army began to form a team, punish the defeated Japanese 1st Division, and put a group of the fastest unlucky ones into the death battalion, and then put them in the front row of the second wave of bayonet assault!
Of course, after handing over this batch of unlucky people who fled quickly, the Japanese 1st Division could rest for a while, and according to the rhythm of the attack, there should be no need for the 1st Division to go up and send them to death on this day......
Then, under the command of Mondora, the Japanese 2nd Division, under the cover of symbolic artillery, with the unlucky men of the death battalion, continued to charge!
It's the charge of tens of thousands of people again, and all of them are new forces!
The commander of the outer defense line of the Spanish defenders couldn't help but be a little desperate, how could this battle be fought?
There is no need for any tactics on the opposite side, as long as you fill it with people, you can fill in the Tucson fortress all the way......
After all, Spanish soldiers are also human beings, and it is impossible to really fight to the last man, in fact, these colonial troops can hold out until more than 50% of casualties, and the Spanish commander thinks it is very good......
What are the virtues of the colonial regular army, can these commanders still not know?!
Of course, even if it is a battle that must be lost, a fortress that consumes a lot of manpower and material resources to build cannot just surrender!
There are several generals in the fortress who are loyal to the Kingdom of Spain, or who are very unaccustomed to the barbarian country of the Han Empire!
These high-ranking officers of the Spanish colonies are either reluctant to give up their own power, or purely unwilling to have personal concepts, let them surrender, it is better to commit suicide!
On the battlefield, the more senior the officers, the less likely they are to surrender willingly, and they would rather commit suicide or flee before defeat than be captured!
No matter when and where, most of the blame for defeat will often be placed on the heads of high-ranking officers, this is an 'opportunity' that has been stinking for thousands of years, rather than carrying this black cauldron, as long as it is a general who is not afraid of death, he would rather give himself a shot in the head, maybe if he is lucky, he can also mix a loyal martyr or something......
The worst is better than surrender!
All kinds of factors combined to make the Spanish army in the fortress of Tucson do their best to resist the invasion of the Han Empire!
Even, the supplies that have been prepared in the fortress for more than a year have gathered most of the weapons and ammunition of the Viceroyalty of New Spain, they don't expect to be able to beat the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Han Empire, they just want to be a solid nail, firmly nailed here!
If the Han Empire can't bite it and makes a detour to Mexico, then everything will be fine!
It's always more difficult to defend against chrysanthemums or something than to defend the front!
The Han Empire, whose logistics system is already very fragile, would rather die tens of thousands more than pull out this nail that is likely to burst out of hemorrhoids!
The charge of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Servant Army was smoother than that of the 1st Division, because the large-caliber field artillery of the Spaniards' outer defense line had become scrap metal, so the 2nd Division of the Japanese Servant Army successfully rushed into the 100-meter range!
And then......
Organ cannons, musket salvos, grape eggs from small-caliber artillery previously hidden......
Well, the Japanese 2nd Division died worse than the 1st, not to mention the unlucky ones of the death battalions who were forced to rush to the front by bayonets!
Every Japanese who dared to die in the camp and returned to their own army formation alive was definitely blessed by their Amaterasu!
This time the Japanese charged, they also did not touch the real defense line of the Spaniards, but they left behind corpses of different shapes in front of them!
Well, those who can't climb back are considered corpses......
Anyway, the Japanese, who were so badly injured that they couldn't climb back, had no rescue value, so let them go to see Amaterasu later later, but Mondola didn't care about this kind of detail......
Inevitably, hundreds of artillery pieces of the Han Empire, once again ignoring the rout of the Japanese, launched a roar!
Not to mention the accidental injury, the officers and men of the Japanese Second Division were told before they set off that they had been defeated and bombed--they deserved it!
Well, that's probably the meaning, such a hurtful noun that deserves to be deserved should be avoided, and the words used by the Han military judges are much milder than 'deserved'......
Two charges, so many compatriots fell at once, to say that the Japanese soldiers did not complain, it is purely an insult to their own intelligence!
It's just that these Japanese soldiers know in their hearts that on their left is tens of thousands of American Native Guards, and in the rear are the Tiger Wolf Marines and two Han Guards Corps who supervise the battle!
On the right, there are still tens of thousands of Native Guards of the Americas......
As for the front, the Spaniards may be more gentle than the Han Empire's warlords?
Not to mention that these Japanese servant troops were divided into 5 divisions, and it was difficult to even meet each other, even if they were twisted into a rope, mutinies or something would be suppressed in minutes!
The weapons of those Han Empire armies can fight the Spaniards, and it is also convenient to kill the Japanese!
In addition, the middle and senior officers in the Japanese servant army are almost all Indians and systematic Han Chinese, and they often lead the gendarmerie to inspect the camp, even if those dissatisfied Japanese soldiers want to do something, it is difficult to communicate and unite!
No one cared about the emotions of the Japanese, and Wang Qiming was pleased that after the second division returned from the rout, the artillery on the outer positions of the Spaniards had basically been completely abolished!
It's just that those organ cannons are a bit disgusting, and many of them were temporarily removed before being bombarded, and they were not all blown up!
