"Kill !!"
All ......
After a series of rows of organ cannons sounded crisply, a group of Japanese soldiers carrying ladders knelt in unison......
Bang bang bang......
Under the volley of muskets, the casualties of the Japanese soldiers increased again!
But when the Japanese soldiers retreated, a salvo of muskets from the Warlords behind them rang out!
This time, Mondora didn't need to draw out the opponent's firepower point to clear it again, so naturally he couldn't let this group of Japanese cannon fodder rout back without even touching the enemy!
The salvo of the Warlords' muskets was nothing, and the worst thing was the Grape Eggs of the Warlords......
In fact, the Overseers killed more Japanese soldiers than the Spaniards!
"Everyone has seen the fate of the deserters in front, you remember, there is still a glimmer of hope when you rush forward, if you retreat, you will definitely die, if you retreat and still live, hehe, you will definitely be worse than dead!"
A tall Han commander, after saying cruel words to a group of Japanese fresh forces with a sinister look in his eyes, waved his big hand, and another super-formed Japanese soldier was pulled onto the battlefield......
These Japanese soldiers no longer held bayonets and flintlock pistols, but cold weapons and ladder shields!
As for the fortress gates, they have naturally been blocked by thick large iron blocks, and the fortress gates specially prepared for war are not just gunpowder that can be exploded!
The Spaniards have been reinforcing for many years, and instead of looking at the fun, and even the power of gunpowder weapons, the Spanish engineers have naturally repaired the fortress firmly and abnormally, so as to prevent the embarrassment of being blown away by the explosion of large-yield black powder......
Of course, if the Han Empire spent a lot of time digging a tunnel with a wide horizontal surface and burying tons and tons of black powder, it could theoretically be exploded, however, this is only theoretical, and the biggest premise of the theory is that the Spanish commanders are all stupid forks!
If such a big tunnel is unguarded and countermeasures, then they can find a piece of tofu and kill it!
Therefore, it was very difficult to blast the fortress with gunpowder, and the Han Empire could only use the most primitive manpower to fill it!
The Japanese cannon fodder is easy to use, but the anti-devouring power is not small, just two days after the attack began, there was an incident of Japanese soldiers running away in a gang, although it was brutally controlled by Mondora, but the morale of the Japanese soldiers can no longer be described as low!
In just two days, the two Japanese divisions that were supernumerated were very successful in losing weight, and they had already begun to make great strides towards incomplete establishment......
Of course, the Spaniards were not comfortable, the Japanese were just cannon fodder in the front row carrying ladders, and when the Native Guard of the Americas attacked, they would also line up in tactical formations and play counter-fire with the Spanish defenders under the city walls, and a large number of curved guns naturally joined them!
The American Home Guard under the city actually suffered a lot when it came to shooting, but the Spanish defenders had too many targets, and the first thing they had to shoot was the Japanese cannon fodder who could climb up on a ladder at any time, not the American Home Guard who provided firepower!
Zhao Dutian was on the high platform in the rear, holding a monocular and looking at the Japanese soldiers in front of the supervising team, the corpses were stacked, and seemed to realize something, and said to the clerk next to him: "Write it down, after this battle, the Japanese servant army will no longer retain its establishment, and convey it to Wang Qiming and the staff headquarters, how to do it and let them figure it out by themselves!" ā
Obviously, Zhao Dutian's mouth no longer retains the establishment, and the people below know what it means!
Zhao Dutian knew that after this battle, no matter how much the Japanese servant army receives, the hatred will definitely be formed, and there are more than 60,000 Japanese soldiers, and now there are still 20,000 left......
Moreover, among them, the hands of the overseers are stained, and I don't know how many Japanese soldiers have lives!
Anyway, in Zhao Dutian's opinion, the number of Japanese soldiers who died under the fortress was not much more than the number of Japanese soldiers who died in the hands of the warlord......
After getting the Japanese 'weight loss index' issued by Zhao Dutian, the offensive on the front line became more ferocious, and the Japanese soldiers were no longer on the top in waves, but all pressed on it!
Mondora no longer carried out any disrupted reorganization, and the establishment was crippled and directly two regiments were integrated, or even three regiments were sent up in one!
As for the high-ranking officials of the Indian race or the Han people who have lost their positions, they will also secretly sigh with relief and silently leave the Japanese servant army, and these people do not feel sorry for the power they have lost, because when they are Japanese commanders, they always feel like they are sitting on a crater, as if they will be annihilated by the anger of the Japanese soldiers at any time!
These Japanese soldiers naturally belong to the entire army of the Han Empire, but in the event of a mutiny, they, the senior officers in the Japanese military camp, will definitely become the first batch of martyrs!
Under this high-intensity attack, as the Japanese soldiers were consumed and ...... Shot, the most difficult outer wall of the Tucson Fortress was also completely breached by the Han Empire!
It's not that the Spaniards don't work hard, around the outer walls of the fortress, tens of thousands of corpses are proof!
Among them were Japanese, there were also American Native Guards, and naturally, there were many Spaniards......
It's just that, even with the superior firepower of the Han Empire, this kind of strong attack has caused a huge casualty ratio between the enemy and us, and the Spanish defenders have at least a casualty ratio of 5 to 1!
Well, in fact, when the outer walls of the Tucson fortress were lost, many Spanish defenders surrendered rather than were killed......
Naturally, the Tucson fortress is not a small outer wall that will be broken and lost, there are many layers of trenches and bunkers, stone camps, jagged interior walls, etc., and the Spanish defenders have a place to retreat......
It's just that the Spaniards can resist for a long time in terms of hardware, but in terms of software......
Most of the internal defenses were defeated soldiers who had retreated from the front, so you can imagine what the morale of the Spanish defenders was......
Of course, the Japanese soldiers, which are easy to use, also managed to shrink to more than 10,000 people when the outer wall was broken, well, this refers to soldiers who can fight, not including the wounded in the rear!
After taking the outer wall of the Tucson Fortress, the Han Imperial army was equivalent to really entering the defense system of the Tucson Fortress, and began to carry out psychological warfare, spreading favors such as surrender and not killing to the Spanish defenders through Spanish prisoners of war, and sending envoys on the surface to explain to the Spanish generals in the Tucson Fortress, and promised to keep their property and losses, and even secretly revealed the benefits of changing their ways!
Although many Spanish generals still adhered to the bottom line of discipline and did not agree, the determination of internal resistance has begun to waver!
The Han Empire did not get the news of the surrender of the Tucson fortress for a long time, so it had to launch another offensive, but the night before the offensive, the Japanese soldiers who got the news that they had won this battle damage and were going to the battlefield broke out!
