Chapter 302 The struggle of the North Star Division

A few decades later, Beichen Division, who retired as the commander of the Imperial Death Group Army (formerly the supernumerary corps), wrote a memoir of his own, called "The Struggle of Beichen Division". Beichen Si has changed from a miner who often struggles on the verge of life and death to the commander of a hundred thousand elite legions, with the rank of general, and is a legendary figure in the entire empire. It is also an eternal idol of young people in Dongying who have been incorporated into the empire for decades, and as soon as the book is published, it has been wildly sought after.

At that time, Chaoyang News Agency, one of the best in the empire, sent the most powerful reporter, and it was also his granddaughter who interviewed him, and a real history of grassroots struggle was revealed in front of their eyes. Kitatsutsu said that his legendary experience began with the battle between Aikawa Castle and the army of the Tokugawa shogunate. At that time, Kitajin was only 20 years old, and he had become a company commander because of the grace of the kingdom. At that time, with Admiral Cameron, he returned directly to Dongying Island from South America.

A year ago, Hokshin Tsukasa never imagined that he would be able to escape from the dark Shogunate Gold Mine, nor would he have imagined that he would be able to return here with a hundred warriors who were stronger than samurai to start his own revenge war. However, Beichen Division did not leave the army, after all, he would not leave the kingdom if he was killed. After the revenge, he has even greater revenge, and if he wants to serve the kingdom for another sixty years, how can he be expelled from the army because he can't bear to make a mistake in the mood of revenge.

followed Shangguan into Xiangchuan City, and immediately many people beckoned them to repair. He now understands that the person in charge here is really a Chinese person. However, the status of the family is not bad, it was established by a former high-ranking official of the kingdom who returned to China, with the goal of overthrowing the rule of the Manchu barbarians, uniting around the kingdom, and suppressing the whole world. Beichen Si believed that they would definitely succeed, because behind them stood a powerful kingdom including him, and when they conquered Dongying, Xinghan would be even more helped.

Beichen Si didn't have any thoughts about the Dongying regime, he always believed that the merger of Dongying into the kingdom was the best way out, which was also the idea of the entire kingdom Dongying people. Compared with Huaxia, they worship the strong more, and this idea is not surprising. After three days of repairs here, the entire 1st Brigade of the Supernumerary Regiment has been restored, and its combat effectiveness has reached its peak. The Xinghanhui soldiers often ran here during this time, and they were very curious about the various weapons of the First Brigade that they did not have. Beichen Si has also seen them train, and he can't help but be a little proud.

Whether it is weapons or training, the 1st Brigade is now stronger than the soldiers of the Xinghan Society. Beichen Division also vaguely knew that in the future, the weapons they used would also be equipped for the Xinghan Society, and they would also use better weapons, and even some of them would be sent to the Xinghan Society army as instructors. Xiao Lin is also to maximize resources, these Dongying people really don't have to say anything about their training, the instructors all praise it, and they are faintly afraid of their cruelty to themselves. Let these people train the soldiers of the Xinghan Society, firstly, there is no need to send people from the Americas, saving manpower and material resources, and secondly, they can also train a group of elite troops.

Without further ado, on the seventh day of their arrival, the soldiers of the Kohan Society had been confronting the shogunate army for two weeks. Time had exhausted the patience of the shogunate, and the Hokushin Division was about to start today's training, when suddenly a rallying horn sounded, and the entire military camp immediately became lively. However, although the barracks were lively, they were not panicked, and everything was tightly organized. The soldiers had just finished breakfast, quickly returned to their dormitory, put on their armed bags, and waited for the squad leader to open the weapon box in the dormitory and pick up their guns.

Then assemble according to the platoon formation, and the platoon commander opens the locked arsenal and takes his own bullets, shells and grenades. After that, everyone arrived at the training ground, their respective teams, and at this time the chief of the division appeared, and while the officers were discussing things, he began to distribute some necessary military rations to everyone. In case it's too late to eat or have nowhere to cook, these compressed biscuits, self-heating treats and highly concentrated juices will guarantee their stamina.

As the company commander, Beichen Division is naturally also waiting for the notice at the battalion headquarters. However, the battalion commander did not say much after returning, and each company commander sent a notice, and then drove them to the training ground. At this time, Kitatsuji knew that the shogunate army had begun to move and was heading to Aikawa Castle at a very fast speed, and it was very likely that a siege would occur. Xinghan will have a lot of material reserves here, and it is no problem to besiege the city for three months, but in order to enter the role as soon as possible, Beichen Division and they will not stay here for three months.

At most, a month, they will have to leave here and choose the right city to occupy. They don't have a base here, so the food can be prepared through the Xinghan Society, but the bullets have to be shipped from North America, which is really a waste. Sholin has the machinery and equipment ready, and as soon as the right foothold is occupied, a series of equipment for the production of power generation, mining, and bullets and shells will be delivered. Although they cannot produce the weapons that the kingdom has equipped them with, they can produce bullets and shells for the weapons in their hands.

It is not difficult to choose the location, Xiao Lin has the mining resource information of Dongying in later generations, and he can choose according to the data. Therefore, they had to help the Heunghankai defeat the besieging shogunate army as soon as possible. According to the agreement between the two sides, the battle at sea was dominated by the kingdom's fleet. And the defensive battles in the city were mainly based on the Xinghanhui army. The Xinghan Society was responsible for defending the two southeast walls with the largest number of enemies, and the Beichen Division was responsible for defending the two northwest walls with the least number of enemies.

The brigade commander personally gave the order, and the Beichen Division immediately led his team to the northern city wall, where the enemy was the third most, so there were two regiments of soldiers who took turns to assist in the defense. Commander Beichen's company was the first echelon, and it entered the position early, and Beichen Division began to explain the combat mission this time. None of the warriors were afraid, and the weapons in their hands were not something that the shogunate could imagine. Even these people are very much looking forward to fighting, especially the unlucky ones who did not make meritorious contributions in the previous South American stranglehold rebels, watching the promotion of their colleagues and the fortunes of their colleagues, their eyes are red.

Hokushin had never thought that the shogunate's army was of such inferior quality, and the ten-mile journey, according to the footsteps of the kingdom's army, should have arrived while they were still in the training ground, and they had even launched an attack. But they had all climbed the city walls, mortars and machine guns had already entered the firing point, and he had even finished explaining the task before he saw the appearance of the shogunate army. If it had been before, Beichen Si might have been trembling with fear. When there are more than 10,000 people, it is really endless.

This time, they were all the elite forces of the shogunate. Even if it's an iron cannon football, it's all armor. Of course, it's not a good armor, it's just ordinary leather armor, but given the lack of wild land animals on Dongying Island, it's not bad to be able to make up so much leather armor. Each iron cannon ashigaru carries a hat and carries a huge iron cannon, and depending on the style, all the iron cannons are not too different. On the road to standardization, the Tokugawa shogunate was also ahead of the Manchu dynasty.

Beichen Si had tried the iron cannon captured by the kingdom in the barracks, and compared to the Yanhuang Type 1 rifle in his hand now, it was completely incomparable. Outside the range of the iron cannon, they can use the Yanhuang Type 1 rifle to kill the enemy, not to mention the leather armor on Ashigaru's body, even the steel armor can't carry the rifle bullets. Even more powerful, there were light and heavy machine guns and mortars, and the corners of Kitachen's mouth showed a cruel smile, as if he had seen these shogunate troops wailing under their fire, helplessly turning into pieces of minced meat.

"Be ready for battle, the enemy is approaching. Don't shoot if you don't get into range, that's a waste of bullets, we haven't built an arsenal yet, it's better to save a little money. ”

"Hey!"

Beichen Si picked up his Yanhuang A-type rifle and began to aim, he was not only a company commander, but also a part-time sniper. It was also because of his sniper ability that he was able to achieve high combat feats in operations in South America and become a company commander. The fighters are not fledgling chicks either, but the cats who have been hiding from the rebels in South America for three months have been honed. All fighters raised their guns and aimed at the approaching enemy. However, without getting into range, none of them fired.

The safest thing here is the machine gunner and mortar gunner at the fire point, which itself was modified by using the artillery point built by the Xinghan Society, all of which are permanent fortifications, and they may not be able to be damaged with one blow if they are hit by large-caliber solid shells, so naturally they don't worry about the iron cannon attack of the iron cannon. The shogunate army made a slight adjustment a kilometer outside the city, and then immediately began to attack. One by one, the samurai dressed in steel armor waved their katanas, and the shogunate's artillery and iron gunners began to step forward in a slightly orderly pace.

The mortars did not move, they just didn't want to startle the snakes, and wanted to kill the shogunate's artillery units in one fell swoop. The artillery of the shogunate was not very weak, and there were thirty large and small cannons attacking the northern wall. Compared to the previous artillery of Aikawa Castle, these cannons look more neat, and compared to Western artillery, the difference in details is also more difficult, and it seems that they should also be made by the shogunate. Mortar gunners are constantly adjusting the firing parameters to ensure that the largest caliber guns can be hit the first time.

As long as the gun carriage is removed, whether the gun body can be damaged or not does not exist. The tactics of the Iron Gun Shotgaru were somewhat similar to those of the Westerners in line to kill, and it is possible that the shogunate learned them from the Dutch. The Dutch had defeated them before, and the Dongying people would surely learn the tactics of defeating their armies. However, they did not know that this tactic would have no effect on the Xinghan Society and the First Brigade of the Supernumerary Corps.
