On July 15, the Taihu Lake slowly approached the Sakai Port Pier on the side of the Sea of ​​Japan. This time the boat was windless and rainy, and it was extremely smooth. Please use the pinyin domain name of this site to visit us. It can be seen that the Navy's hard work and efforts in January have been rewarded. The Japanese maritime defense force was completely defeated and he was unable to prevent the Qing army from landing. This made Enshou and others feel a little regretful: How good would it be if they had the opportunity to show the navy's mighty attitude to the army?

Zhu Hongzhang stepped down the gangway and stood on the land of a foreign country. The surroundings were quiet. It seemed that the Japanese people had never kept this soldier from the other side of the ocean in their hearts, and there was not even a single figure. "Sir?"

"Deploy defense and strengthen vigilance. When you get here, everything must be done well." Zhu Hongzhang gave the order quickly. He pointed his hand at a shelter not far from the dock, "Set the command center there for the time being. In addition, let Hu Junmen, Lin Junmen and Cheng Junmen come to me."

The commander ran away quickly and conveyed the order. After a while, Hu Xiaomao and his wife came back and forth, "Sir?"

"I always feel that the atmosphere here is wrong. Why don't the Japanese even have the minimum defense?" he asked, "What do you think?"

"What does it have to do with us whether the Japanese come or not? Sooner or later!" Hu Xiaomao said with a smile, "Are you still afraid that they will come?"

"I also think that's wrong. Even if the Japanese don't know where we are logged in, the gangs stationed in various places should be alert. And now..." Cheng Xueqi unconsciously felt a little chilling on his back, "Don't you think the surroundings are too quiet? It seems that there is no one at all."

"Yes, I think so too." Zhu Hongzhang looked around worriedly, "Look. We are simply living targets in front of the dock now. If the enemy attacks with artillery fire at this time, the soldiers will have no room for dodging. If this continues, you can go back quickly. Command the troops of each battalion to disperse the formations and not let the enemy be beaten."

"Yes." Cheng Xueqi and others took the order and left, commanding the troops to launch a battle formation, but the soldiers' movements had not been officially completed. Suddenly, a brilliant blood flower exploded in the Qing army camp in front of the dock! "Boom!" There was a loud bang. Thirteen or fourteen soldiers around the explosion site were knocked down by huge air waves, and the bodies fell to the sea with their backs facing the sky, and the blood instantly dyed the sea red.

"There are enemies! Eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock direction." Someone shouted loudly, "Let's fall down quickly, fall down!"

The Qing soldiers lay down randomly, and Zhu Hongzhang looked back. He was still stupid as a group of people lying together. This made him angry and angry. He lay on the ground and ordered loudly, "Split it apart! Let it apart!"

The soldier didn't know if he didn't hear it or was so scared that his legs and feet became weak. The original ordinary order made him yell for more than a dozen times before someone moved his body and began to crawl forward.

At this time, the Taihu and other ships anchored on the sea continued to arrange soldiers to drop the ship, and began to use firepower to support the troops on the shore. The fact that the power of the naval guns was used to deal with the workers on the shore was too obvious. Zhu Hongzhang lay on the ground, feeling his body trembling, which was almost shocking the huge bombardment force to fly.

In the direction of Sakai Castle, smoke and dust filled the Japanese firepower point, and the Japanese army's firepower point was instantly suppressed. This time, without waiting for the command of the superior, the sixth battalion of Hu Xiaomao, who was the attacker, led Zhao Yongfeng to get up from the ground and roared. "Brothers, fight with me! Kill the Japanese pirates!"

Nearly 300 soldiers of the Sixth Battalion followed the supervisor and rushed forward. Zhao Yongfeng was the cousin of the Guangyuan-based supervisor Zhao Yongnian who died in the Vietnam Battle of the Sea. After his cousin died in the battle, he felt the importance of the court's military position and joined the army. Under Hu Xiaomao's command, he served as the commander of the battalion. The new army system of the Qing Dynasty Green Camp. The first battalion had four corpses, each with 100 people, and another 100 people in a reserve team, with a steward and a leader, and was the sixth rank.

Zhao Yongfeng went from being penniless to becoming a sixth-rank official within a few years. Many times he relied on the influence of his dead cousin, which made him happy and upset. The soldiers were so bloody that they always told people how to tolerate it by relationships? This time he went to sea to fight, it was his first time to experience actual combat. On the ship that was coming, he swears to himself that he must win several battles beautifully, so that people can know that Zhao is not a coward!

His battalion was on the mission of a sudden outbreak. Before the soldiers in the battalion arrived, they were attacked by Japanese artillery fire. When the fire support of the Taihu and other ships stopped slightly, he was the first to rush forward.

I rushed through the dock area with my brothers. In front of me was the city of Saitan. This was a very small town with a population of less than 3,000, but I didn’t know where to escape. There was a quiet street with rows of houses on both sides. Many houses were destroyed by artillery on the ship, and the scattered wood fragments fell on the street. The street was full of bullet craters left by artillery bombardment, which looked extremely miserable.

There were fifteen or sixteen Japanese corpses who were like soldiers who were lying on the middle and on both sides of the road, and were bombed to pieces. The wild cannons were tilted. Apart from that, there was not even a ghost! Where did the Japanese go? Could it be these dozen people who launched the shelling just now?

Zhao Yongfeng shook his head. Although he had not read many books, he knew that things would not be that simple. "Tell me, be careful, the Japanese must have been hiding, waiting to shoot us cold guns!"

"What a bastard! I have the courage to fight with me..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhao Yongfeng cursed and waved his arms. The Qing soldiers' well-trained arms were holding guns, and they hugged, divided into two columns, and slowly moved forward. These people knew that they were in a foreign country, and they were all enemies on all sides, and their nerves were tense. When they heard a little movement, they would always lie down and shoot.

With a gunshot, an unlucky Qing soldier screamed and fell to the ground with his calf in his arms. Before his companions could come forward to respond, he fired another bullet from a house on the other side of the street, right in the middle of his eyebrows!

The screams stopped immediately, and the surroundings were quiet for a moment. Zhao Yongfeng could see clearly from behind and pointed his hand. "Ten o'clock, two o'clock direction! First and second teams rushed up!"

The two companies lying on the ground did not dare to neglect them, and stood up from the ground suddenly, firing and attacking fiercely. The Japanese gunmen's position was exposed. They didn't have to think too much about it, and the breech-fired guns of the seventh company fired bullets as quickly as possible, trying to block the Qing army's pace.

Within a few breaths, a company of the Qing army had already rushed to the house on the left side of the street. The Qing army led by the army roared like thunder and kicked open the wooden door. He threw a fire grenade in first.

The function of the fire grenade was thoroughly tested during the war in Russia in the 11th year of Xianfeng. The only disadvantage was that the fire device needed to ignite open flames. Later, after improvement, it became a ignition of the fuse by phosphorus-fire friction (somewhat similar to the principle of matches). However, this method has a disadvantage, which is that it often does not fire. It requires multiple frictions.

However, this time the use did not cause any adverse situation. A stream of white smoke rose, and the soldiers threw their strength inward, dodging their bodies backwards. With a loud "boom", the windows of the residential houses flew out with broken window paper and tatami, and there were several screams.

After the sound, the soldier did not stop. He turned around and entered the room. A soldier with blood on the tatami was trying hard to get up, and the gun in his hand could no longer be held. He still acted like he was trying desperately. A Qing army raised his hand and shot him and killed him. Then he flew open the partition door that had already been blown by the fire grenade. He raised his hand and fired it out with a shuttle.

The Japanese army's reaction speed was also quite fast. Seeing that the enemy broke through the defense line, they did not bother at all. Except for the one who was shot dead in the room, the others had already run away. This made Zhao Yongfeng feel helpless. After fighting for a long time, he only killed one enemy?

After exiting the house, the comrades in the street opposite had also retreated. Judging from their helpless expressions, their harvest seemed not much better than themselves. This made Zhao Yongfeng feel a little more comfortable and continued to organize his formation. He walked forward less than thirty meters. The same bullets were shot out from the houses that were almost the same regulations, and injured a Qing soldier.

This time, Zhao Yongfeng and his comrades opposite him winked and stopped attacking as they were just now. Instead, he took a few steps back and found a hidden place to gather together to discuss, "What do you think?"

"It won't work like this." said the company captain of the second company. "It's too delayed. If the streets are ambushing the enemy everywhere, how long will it take to clean up?"

"I also said yes." Zhao Yongfeng's eyes rolled and said to his companions, "Have you noticed? The Japanese houses are all made of wooden?"

"Yes, I heard from the military gate that it seems that there will always be earthquakes in this place in Japan. Without the use of wood covers, the shock will cause many more people to die."

"Does it matter whether it is an earthquake or not? Since it is made of wood, I am most afraid of fire! What do you say?"

"What else do you say? Just do it!"

Zhao Yongfeng smiled and turned around and ordered, "Go, let the brothers set fire and burn these miscellaneous parts to death."

The Sakura is a small harbor town. The sea breeze makes people sweat all over the summer, but this weather also provides great convenience for setting fires. Torches are thrown into the houses on both sides of the street. After a while, the top of the houses with a full wooden structure began to ignite the neighboring houses. With the help of the sea breeze, the adjacent houses were ignited in a short while. One passing through ten, ten passing through hundreds. The fire became bigger and stronger and stronger. The Qing army, who was standing at the end of the street, felt extremely hot and unconsciously retreated. "Stop me, be careful!"

The method of setting fire immediately achieved the effect. More than 30 Japanese soldiers rushed out of the houses that gradually ignited the fire in front of them. The yellow khaki uniforms were already flashing with flames. The hair, beard and eyebrows were curled and disappeared by the flames, giving off sebum and the unique burning smell of hair after the burning. The Qing army could clearly smell it when it was still far away.

The leader was a sergeant, holding a quick gun in his hand and a sword on his waist. With the movement of strode forward, the sword swayed back and forth between his body, "Storm up! Rush up!"

Zhao Yongfeng felt relieved. It was the most troublesome thing that could not see the enemy's battle. Now that they came out, what else was there to be afraid of? "Kneeling, launch!" This three-position shooting is the longest training subject for the Green Camp soldiers since they joined the army. They were extremely skillful in movements, thrust and thrust! A few bullets of bullets were fired. The Japanese soldiers fell down like harvesting wheat, their hands and feet twitched a few times, and then they stopped moving...
