Chapter 171: Nagasaki BBQ Day! (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)
On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, at half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, at the Shimazu Jinya in Nagasaki, a military meeting was underway.
"My lord, the rebels' defense in the direction of Batianyue is impregnable, and the Batianyue Fort is equipped with 18 movable 11-inch howitzers, which is enough to blast all invading enemies to pieces! If the enemy wants to land from the sea, the artillery on the Hachitendake Fort can also cover the beachhead with fierce fire! ”
"My lord, the defense of the rebels on the Nishibiki Peninsula is also very solid, and the firepower of the Needleo Island Fort is enough to hold the Needleo Seto Strait and stop the officials...... Officers and troops landed! ”
"My lord, the navy still firmly controls the sea control of Omura Bay, so there is no need to worry about the landing of officers and troops from the direction of Omura Bay."
"My lord, the defense of the coast of the West Sea is also very solid, and the four major forts of the West Sea, Oshima, Old Dezu, and Zuodaoshan are also enough to hold the coast."
"My lord, there is no problem with the defense of the Nagasaki Peninsula at the moment, and the warships of the Ming Navy only dare to operate outside the range of our 11-inch cannons."
"My lord, the inventory in the grain depot in Nagasaki City is also very sufficient, enough to supply 100,000 rebels, family rolls, and ordinary people for three years!"
It seems like...... Not bad.
Listening to the reports of the people below, Shimazu Qiliang breathed a sigh of relief, the terrain of Nagasaki is dangerous, and it is a coastal defense fortress that the Tokugawa shogunate has painstakingly operated for many years. If it weren't for the shogunate's defenders deliberately releasing water (in order to make Shimazu carry the black pot), Shimazu Qiliang's men would not have been able to take Nagasaki at all.
Therefore, the rebel army led by Shimazu Sailiang may be able to hold out in Nagasaki until the international and domestic situation changes...... However, it is difficult to know what the current situation is in Nagasaki City. Because the telephone and telegraph in Nagasaki City have long been cut off, these rebels now know that they are enemies, national thieves, and traitors!
Just as I was thinking more and more desperately, the bell suddenly sounded "Dang Dang Dang" outside.
This is the sound of an air raid siren!
In the past few days, the Ming airship has been running to Nagasaki every day, but it does not drop bombs, but "paper bullets", that is, leaflets. The leaflets were printed with the news that the emperor and the shogunate had issued an edict against Nagasaki's traitors and thieves, Shimazu Sairyo and his henchmen...... It also announced the list of the chief evildoers of the Nagasaki rebels and the conditions for coercion to make amends.
Shimazu Qiliang is of course the first on the list of the first evil, and he is unforgivable, not only him, but also his wife and concubines and children!
In other words, Shimazu Qiliang does not have to think about surrender at all......
As for coercion and rehabilitation, it is divided into meritorious service and non-meritorious service, and those who do not make meritorious service can be exempted from capital as long as they leave the city and surrender before the official army launches a general attack...... Just avoid death! If you can make meritorious contributions, such as cutting off the head of the first evil Shimazu Qi Liang and offering it, it will be a "big golden ticket", and you can also become a shogunate direct staff or a northern samurai!
For those penniless ronins, this is simply a step to the sky!
So when Shimazu Qiliang thinks of those flyers scattered from the sky, his back is cold!
"Herald!" Shimazu Qiliang said loudly, "The whole city is under martial law, except for the garrison team that is on guard duty and the air defense team that is on air defense duty, everyone else, including civilians, family rolls, and samurai who are not on duty, will all return to their respective residences and are forbidden to go out!" ”
"Hayin!"
Immediately, a few more vigilantes and air defense officers answered loudly.
These people were all from Satsuma and were Shimazu Qiliang's henchmen, and after receiving the order, they immediately got up and rushed out to carry out the mission.
Shimazu Qiliang looked at the people who were still in the formation house, nodded and said, "Let's go to the courtyard and have a look!" ”
As he spoke, he stood up with his hands on the floor, took the knife from the little surname, and strode out.
When Shimazu Qiliang walked out of the house to the courtyard of his own camp house and looked up at the sky, Zhuge Weidao was sitting in the passenger seat of a Wyvern-3 airship, looking down at the city of Nagasaki, which was full of wooden houses below.
"Strategist!" Sitting in the driver's seat of the airship was Ma Xuchen of the First Airship Team, he has now been promoted to lieutenant colonel, and he will be promoted to colonel after the burning of Nagasaki this time, but he is not very excited, but a little hesitant, "There must be many women and children in the city, right?" ”
Of course...... There must be a lot of Kotojo, Koyama Prefecture, Koyinto, Kooyama, Komatsui, Kotohihara, Kosakagaki, and Ooka Village!
Although Nagasaki was the center of commerce and maritime trade, the surrounding Satsuma, Kumamoto, and Choshu were all birthplaces of JG-ism.
Moreover, the fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers of those Japanese JG-ists may serve as official soldiers outside Nagasaki City, even if they are not thieves in Nagasaki City!
Thinking of this, Zhuge snorted for the road: "Nagasaki City is full of thieves and thieves, and the Japanese shogunate army outside Nagasaki City is not a good person...... But it doesn't matter, let's go down to the sky and burn him tens of thousands, and then drive the morale-boosting shogunate army outside Nagasaki to kill him by tens of thousands, and finally exterminate the Satsuma clan and exterminate the Shimazu clan, and the rest of the little Japan will know the fate of the Celestial Empire! In the future, they will follow us to be good people and liberate the Indians and Indians who are oppressed by the Westerners!
This is called fear of power but not virtue, the Japanese are such a character, it is useless to be good to them, you have to let them know that they are powerful, you have to hang up and beat them first! Got it? ”
"Understood, understood......" Ma Xuchen nodded again and again, looking at Zhuge Weidao as if he had a deep hatred for the Japanese, and the expression on his face became fierce, "Strategist, it's already over the center of Nagasaki!" He raised his hand and pointed down, "Strategist, do you see those big houses?" That's the Nagasaki Great Grain Depot! ”
Zhuge nodded for the Dao: "Okay!" There it is! ”
It was planned to start burning at the Nagasaki Great Grain Depot – Nagasaki was the largest port for the Celestial Empire to import grain into Japan, and the imported grain would be stored in the Nagasaki Great Grain Depot before being shipped by ship to various parts of Japan (mainly to western Japan). At the time of the "Traitor Rebellion" in Nagasaki, more than 1 million stone of Siamese and Annam aged rice were stored in this granary.
With this grain here, there is no problem for Nagasaki to keep the "thief seller" for three years!
So this granary must be burned!
Zhuge Weidao looked at the grain depot that had "become" the size of mahjong tiles and asked, "What is the height?" ”
"2500 meters!"
"Wind speed and direction?"
"Category 2 to 3, winds to the southeast...... We'll have to fly to the southeast of the grain depot to drop bombs. ”
"Our speed?"
"50 km/h."
"Good!" Zhuge nodded for Dao, "Xuchen, you are the captain, you are in command!" ”
"Yes, Strategist!" Ma Xuchen said loudly: "All crew members pay attention, the airship will maintain its speed and fly to 10 kilometers southeast of the target to stop, and then the airship will be returned to the target by the wind...... Bombardiers take advantage of the bombing opportunities! ”
"Yes!"
......
"That's a lot of airships!"
At the same moment, Shimazu Qiliang, who was standing in the Shimazu Jinya, looked at the more than a hundred airships floating in the sky, and already felt that something was wrong...... You don't need to use so many airships to throw paper bullets, do you? How much paper do you have to throw away?
"My lord," Saigo also saw that something was wrong, "these airships have spread out in formation, and they are going to bomb in a formation of two boats?" ”
"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"
"Bombing?"
"So many airships, and so big ......"
"My lord, there seems to be an airship above our heads, do you want to dodge?"
These "samurai betrayers" around Shimazu are already a little panicked, they have no righteous reputation now, their momentum is already low, and they don't have the arrogance of "Kudan Sakami" - they are all national thieves, and they can't become gods when they die!
"My lord, the airship, the airship seems to have stopped in mid-air!" Saigo's voice trembled. Because he knew that when the airships bombed, they would first stop near the target, and then slowly move with the wind, and then drop the bomb when they floated directly above the target.
Shimazu Qiliang turned his head and glared at the one-eyed Long Xixiang, and said sharply: "What is there to be afraid of?" It's nothing more than a thousand bombs...... How many people can't be killed in the bombing! ”
If it's a bomb, it really won't kill many people......
"Bomb, bomb down!"
Some people have already seen the airships floating above the Nagasaki grain depot not far away and began to "lay eggs", and those "airship eggs" fell out of the "belly" of the airship one after another at a speed visible to the naked eye, and fell quickly with a roar, most of them did not directly hit the grain depot, only one "boom" smashed through the top cover of a granary and fell in.
Just when everyone was a little relieved, suddenly ...... A huge orange-red fireball suddenly rose from one of the granaries of Nagasaki's Great Grain Depot and soared into the sky, with a thunderous roar!
This explosion is also too ...... Scary, right?
Before anyone who witnessed this could react, more huge orange-red fireballs rose into the air in the streets, houses, and other wooden buildings near the Nagasaki grain depot.
The fire engulfed the entire Nagasaki grain depot almost instantly!
And this was just the beginning of Nagasaki barbecue day, as the other airships in the sky opened their magazines one by one and dropped napalm, and the blazing and dazzling flames ignited all over Nagasaki City in an instant!
The sky burns the city, and all evil turns to ashes!
