Chapter 389: Successful Landing
Tokugawa Nen's idea was very simple, since he was in charge of guarding Osaka Castle, as long as there was no accident in Osaka, then he would not be punished by Tokugawa Iemitsu.
Before the Ming army, even Edo didn't fight, how could it look down on Osaka.
As for the Port of Osaka?
A fishing port...
The peninsula that guards Osaka on both sides, and the shore defense guns and guard samurai on it?
For Tokugawa Nen, these are just costs that can be sacrificed.
Defending Osaka Castle is the most important thing.
A large number of samurai began to pour into the streets, guarding all the gates and main roads of the city. A large amount of supplies were carried onto the city walls, and Tokugawa Nen apparently looked ready to retreat into the city to avoid the limelight.
And outside the fishing port of Osaka, the shelling from the Eastern Naval Division of the Daming Dynasty soon ended.
It's not that I'm reluctant to shell it..
It was the observer on the warship, but the binoculars in his hands were almost sweating, and the batteries on the peninsula on both sides could not see a single living person or a building that was still intact.
So he waved the small flag in his hand vigorously, which meant that the bombing could be suspended.
...
On the other hand, Tokugawa was anxious and worked hard to count his belongings in Osaka Castle... When he tried to send envoys like Edo Castle and spend some money to send away the Ming warships outside the port first.
Zhao Yunkai stood on the deck of the first ship, and shouted to all the soldiers of the Daming Navy Division around him: "Everyone, prepare for landing!" ”
"Yes!!" The expressions of the soldiers were extremely solemn, and their voices could be described as shaking the sky!
The sea ships that were originally following the Ming warships began to move forward, and all the ironclad ships of the Ming Dynasty moved except for the two warships that were ordered by Zhao Yunkai to stay on the edge of the two peninsulas to prevent the Japanese from organizing sea ships to fight back.
"Push! Get ready to land! ”
"Yes!"
On the troop transport, the officers and men of the Great Tomorrow Tiger Army also had extremely serious expressions, holding new rifles tightly in their hands, and everyone was making final preparations for landing at Osaka Fishing Port.
A company commander of the Heavenly Tiger Army smiled and said to the soldiers around him: "This time, we are going to glorify our ancestors!" This is a major event to expand the territory... We can come here, I don't know how many brothers of the Heavenly Tiger Army are envious! ”
The nervousness of the soldiers gradually eased a lot with this sentence.
"Company commander .. When will we start landing! ”
A soldier spoke.
But the company commander didn't say anything more, turned around and checked the equipment of the soldiers around him... The individual equipment on every soldier of the Great Tomorrow Tiger Army can be described as luxurious.
Not only did they have new rifles as their primary weapons, but everyone also had thick and full ammunition pouches strapped to them.
Even around his waist, he carried a short knife and a grenade.
"Check the gear! It's almost time for us to put on a show! ”
"Yes! Captain... Don't worry, let's take a good look at the skin of this shogunate! As soon as one of the recruits spoke, he was knocked on the head by the company commander with a laugh.
"Just blow it! Watch out for capsizing in the gutter! ”
Toot toot!
The short horn of the charge echoed through the ship, and all the soldiers of the Sky Tiger Army knew it. The landing is about to begin!
"Quick! Everyone is ready to disembark! ”
Whoosh!
The sea ship carrying a large number of Sky Tiger soldiers suddenly changed its sails and accelerated towards the beach.
The first to arrive at the shore on a sea boat.
In an instant, dozens of ziplines were thrown down from the side of the ship, and a large number of Sky Tiger soldiers began to land.
And at the edge of the ship, there are many soldiers holding several machine guns tightly in their hands, and their eyes are constantly scanning the beach, once a Japanese soldier who dares to resist rushes out.
They will be responsible for cleaning up the enemy in the first place.
"Quick! A little faster.. We're going to buy time for the brothers in the back! ”
The soldiers of the Heavenly Tiger Army are all very fast, and they have practiced the same action of quickly disembarking from the deck using a zipline when they are in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
In less than ten minutes, all the soldiers on the first ship had landed at the Osaka fishing port.
On the beach, it was densely packed with Ming soldiers armed to the teeth.
"Check the equipment, take control of the fishing port! Move fast! ”
The first order came from the commander of the Heavenly Tiger Legion who landed on the first ship, and as soon as the order was issued, a large number of Heavenly Tiger soldiers were lying on their backs, and their footsteps quickly rushed towards the interior of the fishing port.
Many fishermen from the Japanese Kingdom who had no time to escape looked at all this with dull expressions.
I couldn't help but scream in horror.
Turned his head and began to run away.
The Ming army has landed!
..
The news is not slow, but it is definitely not fast. Especially in Osaka Castle at this moment, many rich people are still busy cleaning up their gold and silver, even Tokugawa Nen.
Once the war is critical, they are definitely the first people in Osaka Castle to need to be evacuated.
Panic spreads in Osaka Castle, but the worst thing is coming...
"General! The Ming army landed on the shore! Now the fishing port is densely packed, all of which are the army of the Ming Dynasty! A samurai of the Japanese kingdom appeared in Tokugawa Nen's sight.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he said this news that frightened Tokugawa Nen.
"How is that possible! Why did the Ming army land in Osaka? When they were in Edo Castle, they simply bombed the port and left! ”
"General! It's different! Now outside the fishing port, there are nearly 100 warships and sea ships of the Ming Dynasty, and it seems that this time they are going to do it! ”
As soon as he heard this, Tokugawa Nen suddenly felt pale in front of him, and almost fainted on the spot.
Finally stood firm with the help of the samurai on the side, and then hurriedly spoke: "Blocking all the city gates, you must not be able to let these Ming army capture Osaka!" ”
"Yes! Checkmate.. But there may be less than 10,000 soldiers in Osaka Castle right now! Can we hold on? ”
"Guard! Be sure to hold on.. It won't be long before Edo will send soldiers to our aid! Tokugawa Nen pinned all his hopes on Tokugawa Iemitsu, and of course on the premise that he could resist the attack of the Ming army.
After all, Edo is about two days away from Osaka.
But the most important thing is that the Ming army came so quickly.
The news of the landing on the shore is just to be transmitted to Edo Castle, and I am afraid that the time will be beyond Tokugawa Nen's psychological capacity.
The Ming army is coming.
When the people of the Japanese country outside Osaka heard the news, they hid in their homes and did not come out.
The tense atmosphere instantly solidified around Osaka.
Zhao Yunkai was at the fishing port and shouted at Li Ze, who was directing the soldiers to unload the artillery from the cabin of the sea ship: "Li Ze! Take a brigade! Clean up the outside of Osaka first! ”
"Yes! Your Excellency the Governor! Li Ze obeyed! ”
