The Huaxing Army attacked Japan this time, dispatching as many as 150,000 soldiers and horses, with the aim of eliminating all Japanese resistance forces.From the very beginning, the Hwakojun had no intention of cooperating with the shogunate's motley forces.Qiao Shanxing's decision to abolish the samurai gang this time has also been discussed with the Japanese Command.It's just that before they had time to do anything to these samurai, the people of the Shinsengumi chose to betray, and it just so happened that this incident was also used as an excuse for Qiao Shan Xing to dismiss the gang.Originally, most of the samurai in Japan were on the side of the shogunate, and the samurai were originally the thugs kept in captivity by the feudal lords, and their status was one rank higher than that of the peasants.The policy of the Shogunate faction was to abolish the rights of the feudal lords in each region and return them to the emperor.Such a large number of samurai were laid off and unemployed, which naturally caused their dissatisfaction.At the beginning, all of them were united by the shogunate, but in fact, they were just a group of rabble, and they didn't have much combat effectiveness.Now as soon as Qiao Shanxing's policy of abolishing samurai groups came out, the Japanese samurai almost collapsed, and even their last way of life was blocked.At this time, the emperor issued a letter to all the people, calling on all the Japanese people to unite and drive the Huaxing army out of Japan.The samurai from all over the country rushed to tell each other, and all of them joined the emperor's men, and under the banner of resisting the invaders, they rebelled against the shogunate and the Huaxing army.However, they do not have unified leadership and no fixed salaries, and the threat they pose can be basically ignored.For this reason, the Huaxing Army also decided to open up two fronts, the north and the south, with more than 10,000 marines marching to the northwest of Japan, sweeping away the scattered samurai organizations under the rule of the shogunate.The Nanjing Military Region and the Guangdong Military Region had a four-way army of 150,000 men to wipe out the armed forces of the Fallen Shogunist faction in southwestern Japan.Because the southwestern part of Japan became a colony of foreigners very early, its ideological concepts are also very advanced, and a preliminary view of the state and the nation has been formed.For the attack of the Huaxing Army, even ordinary people knew to stand up to defend Japan, and they all rallied around the emperor to help the Shogunate faction resist the Huaxing Army.Therefore, the Huaxing army concentrated superior troops and horses to attack the southwest this time, just to wipe out all the resistance forces in one fell swoop.Qiao Zhiqing's order to the front-line headquarters was that he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of a rebel.He couldn't bear to do anything to the defenseless people, but he was not so at ease with the Japanese.It is best that all the Japanese join the army of resistance, and it is best to let the Huaxing army be annihilated once and for all.In this way, he no longer has to have a guilty mentality in his heart, anyway, Hua Xingjun also killed people for self-preservation, and if you want to resist, you can't blame me.The Japanese now have nothing to make Qiao Zhiqing feel distressed except for women.The four-way Huaxing Army, which attacked southwestern Japan, was divided into two routes, and the two-way army of the Nanjing Military Region set out from Yonebara City in Nagoya and launched an attack directly from land to Kyoto.The two armies of the Canton Military Region landed directly from Osaka by sea and cut off the way for the emperor to retreat south.Originally, Yonehara City was at the forefront of the Hwaheung Army's defense against the Shogunate faction, and a large number of fortifications were built here, but now it has become the forefront of the attack.The two castle walls built at the mountain pass that were more than ten miles long were all blown up by the Huaxing army, and anyway, they were forced to be built by the Japanese in Nagoya, and no one felt pity for them when they were blown up.Thousands of tons of explosives were planted on the walls at both ends, and the sound of the explosion almost toppled the military camps of the Fallen Curtain faction, which were more than 100 meters away.The entire city of Maibara shook at this time, and the emperor only symbolically deployed more than 100 samurai to garrison the opposite side of the castle wall.After the billowing smoke cleared, I saw tens of thousands of Huaxing troops wearing camouflage uniforms swarming out from within the broken wall, marching neatly with guns and charges.Without thinking about it, the more than 100 samurai straddled their horses and fled towards the Koga military camp behind them.The Koga Barracks is located east of Kyoto Castle in Japan, forming a north-south defense line with the city of Iga to the south, and is also a buffer zone between Kyoto and Nagoya.If this place is lost, the door to Kyoto will be wide open.It was here that the shogunate army was blocked by the army of the Shogunate faction, and it was almost wiped out.The Emperor deployed 50,000 of his last elite troops here, and pressed all the last of his capital here.Half of the weapons of the more than 50,000 people were provided by Li Hongzhang, the governor of Taiwan, who originally wanted to contact Japan and ask the emperor to contribute money and efforts, and Taiwan to provide weapons to deal with the Huaxing army together.Unexpectedly, as soon as this plan began, Hua Xingjun came to the door, and Li Hongzhang committed suicide because of this.The emperor was depressed to death, and before the army had time to accept the training of the instructors sent by Li Hongzhang, the contact between the two sides was immediately cut off.Now there is only the ducks on the shelves, so that these newly recruited soldiers hurry to the battlefield.The two armies of the Huaxing Army of the Nanjing Military Region launched an attack on the Koga and Iga defense lines, and nearly 60,000 people faced the 50,000 troops of the emperor, and they were far superior in numbers.The Emperor's soldiers and horses did not have the slightest advantage other than their geographical advantages.At present, the Huaxing Army has developed from the old-style army charge tactics to a multi-arm mixed operation, and the attack is based on the terrain as much as possible and adopts the method of sea, land, and air coordination.Before the two armies of the Nanjing Military Region launched an offensive, the airships of a squadron of the Air Force had already taken off, and after a detailed reconnaissance and survey of the military deployment of the emperor's soldiers and horses, all of them were brought into play as the operational headquarters of the Nanjing Military Region.The two armies of the Nanjing Military Region immediately launched a targeted attack, as if they had eyes, and they specifically penetrated and advanced from the weakest point of the defensive position in depth.It took only one day to split the defense lines of Iga City and Koga City in half.Then the troops were divided into two routes, and launched an attack on the Koga and Iga defenses in two ways.Each army concentrated more than 30,000 troops to divide and surround the soldiers and horses in the two places.At the beginning of the offensive, the two offensive directions of the Huaxing Army relied on mortars and airships to open the way at the same time.Although the emperor's soldiers and horses were equipped with breech rifles, their defensive tactics had not yet been adjusted, and they were still mainly used to build the defense of the city wall passes, and were rarely used in positional warfare, trench warfare, and fortress stations.One day after the start of the offensive of the two armies of the Nanjing Military Region, they all surrounded the defensive lines built in the two places, and each used more than 30,000 soldiers and horses against more than 20,000 soldiers and horses.The front headquarters of the Emperor's army, the position is already in chaos.Shinsaku Takasugi, the front-line commander stationed in Koga City, constantly let the heralds contact the headquarters of Iga City.The front lines of the two armies were only less than ten miles apart, but they were completely blocked by the Huaxing army."
Commander, quickly withdraw to Kyoto, the brothers can't hold on a little anymore" Taro Aso, the deputy commander-in-chief of the front line in Koga City, found Takasugi Shinsaku in the military tent with an embarrassed face, and shouted in panic as soon as he saw him.Just now, he commanded 10,000 soldiers and horses to just exchange fire with the Huaxing army opposite, but at this time, he didn't know what magic power the Huaxing army had, and he actually came up from behind.Taro Aso was caught off guard, and more than 10,000 people under his command were attacked from both sides, and they were killed and injured in less than a while."
What about your defensive position, don't command the soldiers and horses to fight with the Huaxing army, run to me and shout What is Takasugi Jinsaku frowned unhappily and scolded Aso Taro, now when the battle is critical, the deputy commander-in-chief actually escaped from the battle, and almost didn't vomit blood from Takasugi Jinsaku angrily."
Commander, I'm sorry, it's over, it's all over.When I retreated, the Huaxing army had already launched a siege, and now I am afraid that the entire army has been annihilated."
Yaga, what are you talking nonsense, did you see it with your own eyes, or did your subordinates report to you that you can command tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, how can you say that it will be gone" Takasugi Jinsaku scolded Aso Taro with blood-red eyes, and his face was full of shock and distortion."
Commander, my subordinates have done their best.Everyone is a peasant who has entered the battlefield for the first time to face a rain of bullets, and it is really the combat effectiveness of the Huaxing Army that we have no room for resistance at all.As soon as they came up, they bombed indiscriminately, and the fortifications that the brothers had worked so hard to build turned into ashes in an instant, so let's withdraw to Kyoto as soon as possible and cover the emperor's evacuation to the Choshu Domain in the southwest" Aso Taro lowered his head in shame, that is, he was aggrieved and helpless to defend himself, and kept pushing Takasugi Shinsaku to lead the troops to flee."
Yaga, you still dare to disturb the morale of the army here, the commander escaped from the battle, abandoned the soldiers, what use do I leave you" Takasugi Jinsaku said and pulled out the command knife in his hand, and slashed at Aso's head.Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and blood splattered.Taro Aso's head fell to the ground hard, and his eyes were stunned before he could close them."
Come on, take off Taro Aso's head and send orders to the three armies, if any commander dares to retreat wantonly, abandon the position and ignore it, and kill them all" Takasugi Shinsaku is also ruthless, Aso Taro is a general he picked up single-handedly, and he followed him to make great achievements in the Downfall Movement, and he is also a samurai from the Choshu Domain.In order to stabilize the morale of the army, fight to the death, and defend the gateway to Kyoto Prefecture, Takasugi Shinsaku had to do the same.Japan is such a small place, if Kyoto cannot be protected, then the only way to retreat is the sea.He understood the tactics of the Huaxing army, it was impossible to attack from one side alone, and if he did it, he would definitely cut off the emperor's retreat, and the emperor had fled from Kyoto this time, and now he had no chance.At the forefront of the battle between the two armies, the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere, the flames of war broke out everywhere, and the air was gray.The rumbling of cannon was deafening, and it never stopped from the beginning.After the cities of Koga and Iga were split into two halves, there were nearly 20,000 men and horses in each half, but after only one day of fighting, there were only more than 10,000 men left at sunset.The hillsides, the high grounds, and the castles were full of the corpses of Japanese soldiers, most of whom were still wearing the wide robes of Japanese samurai.The Huaxing Army was all strangely fatal, and I didn't know what Little Japan thought, so they went to the front line to fight in clogs.You can't rush fast, you can't run away.In the end, I can only make up a few people and add some momentum.As soon as they showed their heads, they became the live targets of the Huaxing Army
