Chapter 239: Attack and Defense of Nagasaki (2)

According to Yinzuo's deployment, this expedition to Dongying is just a warm-up, just a prelude to the future hegemony in Asia, and it is a good thing to use Dongying such a piece of tofu scum to conduct actual combat training, therefore, although Dongying does not have any strong resistance ability, the landing operation of the Daqingshui Division is still meticulously carried out - artillery cover, small boats rushing to the beach and landing, seizing key points, less than an hour, The 3,000 landing force that followed the main fleet had already gone ashore and joined forces with Liang Size's troops, who had been rushing from Motegi Town for a long time, and blocked the front and rear gates of the small Nagasaki Fort.

At three o'clock on November 2, the 42nd year of Kangxi, the Qing army brigade that had been deployed did not take advantage of the situation to attack the city, but set up barracks, set up artillery, and fired a few cannons at the head and in the city from time to time to hit the morale of the defenders. Since the defenders of Nagasaki first went out of the city to meet the Qing artillery and retreated, they retreated in the city, trying to hold the city, waiting for reinforcements to arrive, except for the occasional roar of artillery fired in the Qing army's formation, the battlefield was calm. In the first place, the main force of Li Kebu seized the upper west mountain, and the "town commissioner" Yokobin Shiro stationed in the upper west mountain and more than 100 Japanese soldiers under his command did not miss the net, and since then, the strategic point leading to Nagasaki Fort fell into the hands of the Qing army, and Nagasaki Fort has become a lonely fort.

At two o'clock on November 3, the forty-second year of Kangxi, it was almost noon, and the soldiers of the Fujiwara and Sansheng families who set out from the two areas of Unzen and Izao to reinforce Nagasaki finally arrived at Shangxi Mountain belatedly, perhaps because of the eagerness to rescue, or because there was no war for a long time, and they had long lost the experience of fighting.

Seeing that most of the Japanese soldiers had already entered the ambush circle, Li Ke's grim face showed a contemptuous smile, and he said coldly: "Fire!" Suddenly, the Qing army, which had already been ready, sounded the mines that had been planted in advance, and more than 100 mines exploded on the main road, and then, more than 100 artillery pieces erected on the hill also fired at the same time, and more than 100 bullets fell into the queue of Japanese soldiers who had already panicked like rain.

Landmines, grenades, these two weapons of war are the new weapons made by the secret weapons research laboratories under Yinzuo, these two weapons are simple in structure, carrying, use, and the production process is not complicated, and it is a simple matter to produce these two things in Yinzuo's many industries. Although there was a prototype of landmines as early as the Three Kingdoms period, and landmines have been used on a large scale in the Ming Dynasty, as for the prototype of the grenade appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty, it has also been widely used, but the above-mentioned mines and grenades are only the prototype, whether it is power or production, there are inconveniences in carrying, and the wooden-handled grenades and various infantry mines produced in the laboratory under the name of Yinzuo are developed with reference to the German-style grenades designed during the Second World War in later generations, and the styles of pulling and tripping mines during the Anti-Japanese War were developed. It is powerful, easy to carry, and extremely reliable in transport.

The old man Kangxi does not like firearms innovation in addition to artillery, so although Yinzuo has a lot of new weapons in his hands, there is no place to conduct actual combat tests, this time the soldiers and horses of Dongying are Yinzuo's henchmen, Yinzuo took this opportunity to let Li Kebu carry a batch of new weapons for battlefield testing, and Dongying soldiers are very honored to become "guinea pigs" for experiments. At this moment, seeing that the Japanese soldiers had fallen into extreme chaos, Li Ke took out the steel knife on his waist and shouted: "Kill!" Thousands of Qing officers and soldiers rushed down from the mountainside of Shangxi Mountain like a furious dragon.

Before the panicked Japanese soldiers could recover from the shock of the ambush, they suddenly saw that many Qing officers and soldiers had been killed on the mountainside, and they were even more chaotic, some tried to escape, some tried to resist, and the whole crowd was crowded around in a chaotic manner.

"Thunder!" With a command, hundreds of long-handled grenades smashed into the remnants of the Japanese soldiers, and suddenly the sound of explosions was everywhere, the earth and broken arms flew together, the explosions resonated with the screams, and the Japanese soldiers, who were already demoralized by the sudden blow, could no longer bear such blows, except for the more than 1,000 dead and wounded, the remaining more than 3,000 horses and horses broke up like lost dogs.

This battle was fought very happily, the more than 4,000 Japanese soldiers who came to help, except for the hundreds of people who escaped quickly, the rest were either taken prisoner or became hellish ghosts, Li Kebu only suffered more than 100 casualties, except for more than 1,000 people who continued to guard Shangxi Mountain and guard prisoners of war, Li Ke personally led the main force of 5,000 men and horses straight to the direction of Nagasaki Fort. The battle lasted just over half an hour, and all the Japanese troops who came to the aid were crushed, killing more than 1,500 and capturing nearly 2,000 alive, which can be described as a complete victory.

At this time, the Qing army under Nagasaki Fort had more than 10,000 men, and the morale, weapons and equipment, combat effectiveness, and number of people were far superior to the Nagasaki defenders who were cowering in the fort. In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yinyu held a military meeting and decided to start attacking the city early tomorrow morning, with Li Ke leading 4,000 men and horses to attack the main gate, Liang Size leading 3,000 men and horses to attack the back gate, and arranging sappers to set up a ** pile outside the fort wall overnight, preparing to forcibly attack Nagasaki Fort.

It was night, and there was a dead silence in the panicked Nagasaki Fort, and Kotaro, who had not waited for reinforcements, was furious in the Daimyo's mansion, and the "elders" and "big eyes" looked at each other, helpless, and had no idea except to sigh and sigh. Kotaro Rokuba was reprimanded again for losing the Okuboyama Fort, and as soon as he returned to the house, he heard a report from his subordinates - Yujiro was visiting, and he was busy asking his subordinates to welcome guests into the door.

Tamashiro,Claiming to be from Edo,Business is not small,Very bold,Generous,Although he is not a samurai,But a hand of swordsmanship is very good,It is said that he has a good relationship with the Kishu Tokugawa family in the "Imperial Three Family", and the merchant who came to Nagasaki turned out to be holding the token of the Kishu Tokugawa family, and no one in Nagasaki dared to offend this person, although his identity was just a townman.

"My lord, it's been a long time, Jiro greets you." As soon as the thin Yujiro saw the face of Xiao Tailang Rokuba, he immediately bowed down and said goodbye.

"Yujun is polite, at this time of many events, is there something wrong with Yujun here?" Kotaro Rokuba, although he was very upset in his heart, still asked politely.

"My lord, there is an old saying in the Chinese: How can there be eggs under the nest? Now that Nagasaki is besieged, there is no hope for reinforcements, Jiro is flustered, I don't know if adults have a way to get out? Tamajiro asked as he sat down cross-legged and grimied.

Kotaro Liuye is deeply versed in Sinology, naturally he knows this ancient saying, he was convicted of opposing Kotaro's health and blood washing the Qing fleet, at this time sitting in the city of sorrow, he was even more confused, shook his head and sighed: "Alas, the jade is burned, the reinforcements of Fujiwara and Sanshengjia have been destroyed, and in the afternoon, Fujiwara Ichiro and Sanshengzaki's heads have been picked up in the Qing army camp, how can I do anything." ”

Tamajiro sighed for a while, and suddenly said as if he had just remembered something: "My lord, a friend of Jiro, Tojiro, has sent a letter to your lord. ”

"Oh? Letter? Where is it? Kotaro Rokuba looked at Tamajiro in surprise. Tamajiro didn't take out the letter, but silently sipped his tea. Kotaro Rokuba was stunned for a moment, then reacted, waved his hand to let his subordinates retreat, and didn't speak, just stared at Yujiro.

"Yaga! You want to trap me in injustice! After reading the letter, Kotaro Rokuba angrily slapped the coffee table, and the force was so great that it almost struck the coffee table in two.

Seeing the indignant look on his Kotaro Rokuha's face, Yujiro did not have a trace of panic, and chuckled and said: "Why should the adults be like this, I am just a messenger, and I don't know the rest, whether the adults do it or not has nothing to do with Jiro, Jiro took his leave." ”

Kotaro Rokuba looked at the back of Yujiro leaving, his face changed, sometimes fierce, sometimes hideous, sometimes sad, and finally fell to the ground in frustration, panting, after a long time, shouted: "Come on, hang the two red lanterns for the New Year at the door, quick!" ”

At this time, it is not the New Year's Day.,The red lantern is still in the warehouse.,People don't know what their lord is crazy about.,So anxious to hang the red lantern.,The action can't help but be a little hesitant.,Immediately attracted a scolding from Kotaro Liuye.,I had to hurry up and hang the red lantern at the gate.。

Yujiro, who had already said goodbye to Kotaro Rokuha's family, hid in the dark and saw the movement of Kotaro Rokuha's house, and couldn't help laughing, looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, and muttered a poem: "Raise your head to look at the bright moon, bow your head and think of your hometown." The moon is the hometown of Ming, and tomorrow will be a good weather. The emaciated figure swayed and disappeared into the darkness.

It was very late at night, and the fog on the seashore gradually rose, and the thin mist slowly drifted ashore with the sea breeze, enveloping Nagasaki Fort and the Qing army camp outside the fort, and the night was as silent as death......
