"Damn it! Order, the entire fleet prepares for battle on the starboard side, and I'll beat him up! The commando's original order remains unchanged, grabs the beach, and cannot take the Wakayama Fort, and asks Li Shun to come and see him!"

When Wang Yanxia heard the wrong sound from the back, he was startled and quickly raised his monocular lens. He looked back and found that the Awaji Island Fort was ready for combat at some point. The dozen or so shells were fired from the Awaji Island Fort. Although none of them hit the target, Wang Yanxia, ​​who felt the threat, looked a little uncomfortable and gave a battle order with a gloomy face.

Unlike the incompetent and lazy commander of Wakayama Fort, Masahiko Haruyama, the commander of the Awaji Island Fort, Masahiko Haruyama, is a standard professional soldier with a strong personality and good ethics. It is precisely because of his loyalty and integrity that he is not tolerated with his colleagues that he was sent to a place where no birds can be shit. However, he was not depressed by this. He was still diligent in training the soldiers of the fort. For more than ten years, it was precisely because of this that he could lead his troops to resist when he learned that the Qing fleet was coming. Unfortunately, the fort facilities were old and disrepaired. Among the 38 shore cannons displayed, only eighteen can barely shoot, but unfortunately the accuracy was poor. After one round of shooting, none of them hit.

"Boys, come again, aim at the Chinese fleet and bomb it!"

Facing the result of Wuyi's defeat, Masahiko Haruyama was obviously extremely dissatisfied, but he was helpless. Although he had always been very strict with training, he had no support. The fort was not updated for decades, and the old artillery lacked maintenance and ammunition. The so-called training on weekdays was just exercises. There were only a handful of days when he could fire the artillery. The huge fort had only less than 300 shells and gunpowder. In this case, Masahiko Haruyama tried hard to get it. It was obviously unrealistic to expect his subordinates who lacked practical experience to hit the target in one fell swoop. However, Masahiko Haruyama was not discouraged, and was still energetic and ordered.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The adjustment of the Qing fleet took time. The loading of the old artillery in Japan was also very complicated. Although the orders were issued on both sides, the time for firing was almost the same. Just as the fire broke out in a row of artillery portholes of the Qing warships burst out at the same time, the eighteen shore cannons on Awaji Island also began to fire volleys, and the roar suddenly sounded, but two rounds of artillery shells crossed in the sky, roaring at their respective targets.

The gunners on both sides are newcomers who are on the battlefield for the first time, but the gap in training quality is huge. Not to mention, each gunner of the Qing army has fired more than 200 shells in a year, which is far from comparable to those soldiers in Japan who only fired one or two guns, not to mention that the three warships of the Qing fleet fired a total of 60 guns at a time. On the other hand, the only 18 guns can be used in the Japanese artillery. This gap is really too big. There is no doubt that the bombing is

The results of the battle were very different - the Qing army destroyed six Japanese shore artillery with just one round of volleys, killing more than 30 Japanese soldiers, and more than a dozen injured people. The Qing army was just a bomb on the back deck of the "Magic Fight". Two busy sailors were slightly injured, but the hull was not seriously damaged. The range of Japanese shore artillery was limited, and the shells were at the end of their strength when they flew to the Qing army fleet. Even the ship deck had not penetrated, let alone causing much trauma to the Qing army warships.

"Stay calm, don't be messy, and then bang!"

There were only more than 200 soldiers in the Awaji Island Fortress. After this round, one-quarter of them fell into a pool of blood. The rest of them were timid and there were many people running away with their heads in their arms. When they saw this, Masahiko Haruyama was immediately angry and slashed and killed two fleeing soldiers with a samurai sword in his hand. Only then could he barely stabilize his position.

"It's a great job, come again, pass the orders, hurry up the commando, be sure to take down the Wakayama Fort before the end!"

Compared to Masahiko Haruyama's furiousness, Wang Yanxia was obviously much more relaxed, but he didn't dare to take it lightly. He waved his hand and issued an order again.

The power and quantity of artillery between the two sides were very different, and the morale was also very different. The result of such a battle was naturally destined. After three rounds of bombardment, only four shore artillery left on the Awaji Island Fortress, and only more than thirty were left. Even Masahiko Haruyama himself was swept several times by flying shrapnel, and blood was gushing wildly, like a blood man. But even so, he refused to give up his final efforts. He still roared with all his strength, urging the remaining soldiers under his command to make the final resistance. The artillery battle was really stalemate for a while.

"Shake, quickly, rush to the beach, hurry up, move quickly!"

Two flowers bloomed, each with one branch. Not to mention that the fierce battle between the fleet and the Awaji Island Fortress continued, it was said that the general Li Shun personally led more than 200 soldiers from the commando team to take twelve small boats and were rushing towards the beach under the Wakayama Fortress with all their might. Although the sailors on the ship had tried their best, the strait was turbulent and the small boats were repeatedly washed away from the route, so they had to make adjustments often, so that the speed could not get faster. As soon as this happened, Li Shun's eyes turned red even after being anxious.

Li Shun was born in the martial arts world. Later, he followed Li Minxing to Prince Cheng's mansion. He started working as an ordinary guard and was promoted to the high position of generals in seven years. Last year, he had the opportunity to release the country and was able to join the new army as a general. This time he went on a war, he was appointed to take on the important task of fighting for the first battle. He naturally did not want to be defeated when he first went on battle. Besides, he could not afford to lose. If he could not seize the Japanese side before he could react, he would

If Katsuyama said that this eastern expedition would be in danger of success and failure. The reason why the surprise attack was a surprise attack was a sudden effect. Whether Wakayama, which stuck in the key roads in Osaka Bay, could successfully win it is the most critical battle. Now that the fort has been destroyed, it is the best opportunity to take advantage of the situation. How could Li Shun not be anxious? No matter how anxious he was, he could only roar and ordered the sailors to force forward.

"Come with me, rush and get the turret!"

After all the efforts of the boat, the boat finally leaned on the beach. Before the hull was stable, Li Shun jumped off the bow like a sharp arrow. Regardless of the depth of the shore, he still had knee-length, and rushed towards the shore with a loud roar. Seeing this, the soldiers on the same boat did not dare to delay it. They jumped off the boat as if they were like, roared and rushed to the shore, and fought along the slopes on the shore towards the fort on the top of the hill.

"Two teams A and B are on the spot to set up defenses, and the rest come with me to clear out the enemy camp without leaving any survivors!"

There was already no one on the fort at Wakayama, with only a pool of blood and meat. Seeing this, Li Shun felt relieved, but he still didn't dare to go carelessly. He left two teams of troops to set up defenses on the spot. However, he led three teams of soldiers to rush into the barracks below the fort. After sweeping, he found that the place was empty and there was no sight of a ghost. This made Li Shun feel depressed that he hit the empty place with one punch, but he had no choice but to lead his troops back to the top of the mountain and send the signal of successfully taking the fort back to the squadron.

"Start fire, then fire, don't stop, fire, fire!"

The Wakayama Fort had already fallen into the hands of the Qing army, but the artillery battle between the Awajima Fort and the Qing fleet was still ongoing. After six rounds of bombardment, the Qing fleet suffered almost no losses. However, there were only two shore cannons left on the Awajima Fort, and only twelve soldiers who could still keep shooting were left. Even so, Haruyama Masahiko, who had been injured in many places, refused to admit defeat and still roared wildly, commanding the last remaining troops to fight with the Qing fleet.

"Order: The entire fleet aims at the enemy flag, shoots volleys, and kills him!"

Seeing that he had fought for so long and could not break the resistance of the Anchor Island Fort, Wang Yanxia's face immediately became ugly. He bit his lip and his face was extremely ferocious and squeezed out the death order from his teeth.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Wang Yanxia gave such a death order, and the gunmen of the entire fleet were also fierce. They quickly loaded the shells. At the command of the gun captains of each ship, they opened fire one after another. Sixty huge shells roared across the sky and smashed heavily on the turret. Under such a dense critical strike, Masahiko Haruyama was suddenly trapped in a sea of ​​death. Countless shrapnel flew everywhere, and instantly tore Masahiko Haruyama into pieces. Seeing this, the Japanese soldiers who were busy loading had no desire to fight. They threw down the half-loaded cannon and fled from the turret in panic. The turret that had roared for a long time suddenly became quiet. Except for the broken bodies and blood on the ground, there was no more surviving on the huge turret.

"The command is to reorganize the entire fleet by Wakayama to rectify it on the spot!"

After the seventh round of artillery bombing, Wang Yanxia did not rush to issue a new order, but looked at the Awaji Island Fort with a monocular telescope for a long time. Seeing that it was already dead silent, he was convinced that the enemy's fort was no longer able to resist, so he did not order the shelling again, and did not order the fleet to enter Osaka Bay. Instead, he ordered the entire fleet to move closer to Wakayama and stopped outside the Tomoshima Strait. At the same time, a dragon flag rose on the Wakayama Fort and fluttered in the wind, which marked that the gateway to Osaka Bay had been broken by the Qing army. Osaka Bay, which had no protection, was exposed to the gun mouth of the Qing army...

"Report, Lord Watanabe, the Chinese are invading a lot. They are fighting fiercely with me, Kayayama and Awaji Island. Please make clear!"
