- The city of Hiroshima has been destroyed, and Kyoto is facing the same fate as Hiroshima.
Countless artillery pieces have been set up, and countless Ming war flags are flying in the wind.
??A war that the Japanese will never forget and will determine the fate of Japan is about to begin! At this moment, every Japanese's heart is filled with fear, but they have no solution.
The only thing they can do is to wait for the punishment of fate!
From the beginning to the end, Ding Yunyi behaved calmly and without any impatience in his attitude towards attacking Japan. Even when encountering some difficulties, he would take the initiative to show some retreat that he had never seen before.
Why is this happening? None of his subordinates knew that only once did he tell Duan Saner his truest thoughts:
"When attacking places like Luzon, we treat it as a colony. When one day we cannot hold those places, we can at most just retreat. But after decades or hundreds of years, we have already It¡¯s enough for us to get enough things from there, but Japan is different. What I want is to completely conquer this nation"
Duan Saner doesn¡¯t quite understand, and Ding Yunyi doesn¡¯t want him to fully understand:
"If you want to conquer a nation, you must not only conquer it physically, but also spiritually. To make them surrender completely, although this will be a very long process. But someone has to do it. It will bring the greatest benefit to our descendants and make our descendants happy once and for all, so everything we do now is worth it"
Duan San'er still didn't fully understand, but he knew it. No matter what adults do, they are worthy of their own belief.
Ahead is the battlefield that is about to begin. The soldiers were working hard and deploying everything in an orderly manner to prepare for the upcoming earth-shaking fierce battle.
When this fierce battle is over, how many people will die and how many will survive? No one can answer this answer.
The Ming army is busy, and the Japanese in Kyoto are also busy.
They have too much to do. But there was really too little time left for them. They must seize all the time they can and try their best to improve Kyoto's defense.
Tokugawa Iemitsu appointed his trusted loyal minister Asahi Toshihidetsuna to serve as the general in charge of the defense of Kyoto. He had unlimited high hopes for Asahi Toshihide and Tokugawa Iemitsu.
Asahi Junxiu was unwilling to live up to the general's expectations, and he knew better. Once Kyoto falls, what terrible things will await him and all Japanese people.
This will be Japan¡¯s biggest disaster.
Decisive battle, decisive battle! If there is really going to be a decisive battle that affects Japan's destiny and future, then let's start now.
He is trying his best to mobilize everyone in Kyoto, and the samurai are gathered together. And those wanderers also got a piece of gratifying news:
As long as Kyoto can successfully defend, they will be awarded the status of samurai and receive the same salary.
This promise greatly stimulated those ronin.
Having become famous in one battle and having no worries about food and clothing from then on, what else is there to worry about?
Confidence and fighting spirit are burning in the hearts of these Japanese, and they want to turn Kyoto into a real battlefield. Even if we both die because of this, we won¡¯t hesitate.
Asahi Toshihide is the person whom Tokugawa Iemitsu trusts most, and another important minister of the Tokugawa family, Nishijima Takae, also has high hopes for Tokugawa Iemitsu.
??This samurai is famous for his bravery. Asahi Shunxiu hopes that he can create miracles on the battlefield.
"Deal with the enemy with an attack." Nishijima Takae said decisively: "Please allocate an army to me. Lord Asahi, I have seen it carefully in the past two days. The enemy's military camp has been placed in Tazawa. I think that's where Ding Yunyi is. Leaving the west city of Kyoto, we can attack Taze directly. If we can kill Ding Yunyi, I think the situation will change."
Asahi Shunxiu nodded: "Nishijima-kun. What you think is exactly the same as what I think. So, how many people do you need to complete this glorious mission?"
"Three thousand people!"
When he said this number, Toshio Asahi hesitated for a long time. This number was still relatively large. But if the enemy's commander Ding Yunyi could be defeated or even killed, then it wouldn't matter even if three thousand people died on the battlefield.
After thinking about this, Asahi Shunxiu nodded vigorously: "Nishijima-kun, please. I will assign the brave warriors Hiromoto Na and Akamine Nobunari to your command."At this time, we will completely hand over our only one thousand cavalry to you. Nishijima-kun, one thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry, this is a huge force in the defense of Kyoto. "
"Hai, please wait for my good news." Nishijima Takae responded loudly and confidently
?¡
The Japanese left the city, and the Japanese took the initiative to show up!
Ding Yunyi was not surprised at all. Instead, he smiled and said to his subordinates: "Do you know why I placed the military camp in Taze? Because I know that if the Japanese want to win this battle, their only way is to attack here by force. , Only by killing me will they have a chance."
"Master Hou, what should we do now?"
"Most of our artillery are placed on the front of Kyoto. Although there are not many artillery here, and they are not the latest artillery, it is enough to kill and injure most of the Japanese pirates. Once they fail, it will be even more serious. It will frustrate their morale. If the Japanese pirates insist on doing this, then give them the heaviest lesson"
?¡
The Tiger Guards' position used trench tactics, which were divided by a hill in the middle into two front lines on the left and right. The end points of the trench were two small hills facing the outside. A hill was formed that protruded forward, while the defense line retracted inward, spreading horizontally for about four to five hundred steps. And the trenches dug were not in a straight line. Instead, it is a shallow dish-shaped curve, a bit like a mountain-shaped three-point-two-line structure.
Because there is enough time to build the position. Therefore, the trenches were dug deeper, reaching more than three feet. The width reaches eight feet. Only more than a foot of cloth and earth bags were placed on the edge of the trench, and behind the trench was an artillery position, forming a double-layered defense line.
On the two defense lines on the left and right, three musketeers were deployed on each side, on the hills at both ends. Each team of musketeers and four No. 2 Fran cannons were deployed to guard the two wings of the army, and on the artillery positions behind the left and right defense lines. Each of them deployed four "Divine Power" cannons, three No. 1 Fran cannons, three No. 3 Fran cannons, and six Crouching Tiger cannons.
The small hill in the center of the defense line is also the command center of the entire defense line. Li Dingguo's regiment headquarters is also located here. There are two soldiers from the reconnaissance company guarding the hill. The entire defense line concentrated a total of more than a thousand muskets and forty artillery pieces, and the layers were clear, making the defense line appear impenetrable.
Ding Yunyi did not personally command this battle, but assigned this task to Li Dingguo, A Hu, and Wang Wei.
This time, the Tiger Guards fought independently without Ding Yunyi. On the one hand, Ding Yunyi wanted to practice their ability to fight alone. In addition, because the tactical arrangements for this battle are different from the previous ones, I took this opportunity to let them all experience it.
Therefore, the three generals were excited, excited, and a little nervous. They were all determined to hold on to their position this time and live up to Wu Liehou's trust.
At this time, the Japanese pirates' men and horses gradually appeared in the normal field of vision, and stopped in formation when they were about 500 steps away from the Tiger Guard position. Li Dingguo watched from the top of the mountain, feeling quite ridiculous in his heart. Probably the enemy learned this from the last defeat. The Tiger Guards' artillery fire was very far away, so they didn't dare to get too close. They were about five hundred steps away and felt that it was absolutely safe. And more than five hundred steps is almost the limit of the naked eye's vision.
However, the Japanese generals did not know that in fact the Huben Guard's two-thousand-jin "Shenwei" cannon could fire a range of more than a thousand steps, while the one-thousand-jin "Shenwei" cannon could fire a range of eight hundred to one thousand steps; No. 1 The range of the Folan cannon can also reach 600 to 800 steps, and the range of the No. 2 Folan cannon is between 400 and 600 steps. Therefore, the distance where the Japanese pirates are located is still within the range of some of Hubenwei's artillery strikes. However, Li Dingguo obeyed Ding Yunyi's order. In order to cooperate with the flanking attacking troops, the "Shenwei" cannon and the No. 1 Folan cannon were not fired for the time being.
And at this moment, the Japanese pirates began to attack. This time the Japanese pirates attacked from the left line, and they dispatched 500 troops, all of whom were infantry. From this point of view, the Japanese pirates and some of the armies that the Tiger Guards have encountered are similar. When encountering an opponent whose details are unknown, they first let the cannon fodder go up to the bottom to test the strength of the enemy.
Li Dingguo saw it very clearly and immediately ordered the flag bearer to hoist a flag on the hilltop on the left, telling them that the enemy had launched an attack. At the same time, he also raised his arms and used the distance measurement method taught by Ding Yunyi to calculate the distance to which the Japanese pirates would arrive. Although this distance measurement method is relatively primitive and has a relatively large error, it can basically measure a rough distance.
When the Japanese pirates entered a distance of about 300 steps from the position, Li Dingguo gave the order to fire.
Since the "Shenwei" cannon could not be activated and the Tiger Crouching Cannon could not reach the distance, there were only three No. 1 Fran cannons placed on the left line.A total of ten artillery pieces, four No. 2 Fran cannons and three No. 3 Fran cannons, were fired together, and a huge roar immediately shook the entire wilderness.
A cannonball whizzed past and hit the head of a Japanese pirate soldier who was charging at the front. It immediately shattered the soldier's head. Without even a grunt, the headless corpse fell to the ground. The soldiers behind him didn't know what was going on, but they were knocked down in a row by the unabated shells.
Although the Huben Guards only had ten artillery in operation, the infantry formation was more dense, and because the Japanese pirates only attacked the front line, although the troops could be concentrated, it was difficult to spread them out in a wide area, so the depth of the entire team was greatly expanded. In this case, although the artillery uses solid bullets, its lethality is naturally greater.
Some Japanese pirate soldiers were hit in the body by cannonballs, with blood spurting out of their mouths and their bones cracked; their limbs were also hit with broken muscles and bones; even if they were rubbed by cannonballs, they would still be torn apart. Large pieces of flesh.
Ten cannonballs blasted open ten bloody alleys in the Japanese pirate formation, and on the trajectory of the cannonballs passing by, there was only a long passage paved with flesh and blood, and broken limbs.
There were soldiers who were not injured but not dead. They were rolling in pain on the ground and letting out lung-piercing screams. The soldiers around them who were lucky enough not to be shot were also frightened and trembled. Has.
Li Dingguo put down the telescope in his hand and was very satisfied with the results of the first round of shelling. Although he was only twenty years old, he had been following Ding Yunyi in continuous battles since he landed on the Japanese island. He was used to the killing scenes on the battlefield, so he remained unmoved and ordered the gunners to continue firing.
The Fran cannon is a breech-loaded belt gun that fires much faster than other artillery. Although the Huben Guard has used fixed ammunition, the "Shenwei" cannon can only be fired once a minute at the fastest, while the Fran cannon can be fired three times in two minutes. If the gunner is skilled in operation, it can almost reach one Launch twice per minute.
With the continuous firing of ten artillery pieces, all the shells were ruthlessly thrown at the Japanese pirates. Each round of shelling was able to kill at least dozens of Japanese pirates, only to make the Japanese scream in agony and leave corpses everywhere.
However, the military discipline of the Japanese pirates is also quite strict. They are soldiers who go out to fight, and they are supervising the battle behind the scenes. Anyone who escapes without orders will be killed immediately. Therefore, although the Japanese pirates suffered a heavy blow, no one dared to escape without permission for a while. , can only bite the bullet and rush forward, hoping to pass the artillery attack early and approach the Ming army for combat.
After seven or eight consecutive rounds of shelling, the casualties of the Japanese pirates had exceeded a thousand, and the entire formation was in chaos. Moreover, behind the large group of people who continued to advance towards the Huben Guard position, a large number of corpses were left behind. Dead, wailing and struggling soldiers on the ground.
However, at this time, the Japanese pirates were less than a hundred steps away from the Hu Ben Guards. After at most two or three rounds of artillery fire, they could rush to the Ming army's array and start a hand-to-hand battle with the Ming army. Moreover, the current distance was between one and two Franchise machines. The cannons had no choice but to stop firing in the blind spot, which made many soldiers feel that they saw hope and stepped up their progress.
But this glimmer of hope was just a fleeting moment, and was immediately dashed. Because at this time, Yi Jing entered the firing range of Hu Benwei's muskets, and with a roar like a row of exploding beans, six squatting tiger cannons also began to fire. Bullets and shells were like hail, overwhelmingly attacking the Japanese pirates. , a large piece of the Japanese pirate formation immediately fell.
This far exceeded the impact of previous artillery. Piaotian Literature registered members recommend this work - Didn't finish reading?
