At 6 a.m. on August 16, Osaka Fort.

Hitaka crouched behind a low wall of the fortress, his face pale, and in front of him was a sea of fire.

Between the low wall of the fort and the north fort, there are several streets and alleys, which are lined with village houses, which are the supply depots of the Japanese batteries.

During the night, the Ming warships launched an attack from the North Battery, and under the cover of powerful artillery fire, the Ming marines carried out a night attack.

Most of the Japanese houses are civil structures, with rammed walls and thatched roofs, and the artillery fire of the Ming army ignited the entire supply station, and all the houses within a radius of several hundred meters were set on fire, becoming a large fire field.

The raging fires engulfed the Japanese supply depot and also consumed thousands of residents, and the Japanese defenders around the depot were quickly burned to the ground.

More Japanese soldiers rushed down the battery, carrying the burning flames on their bodies, and tried to escape into the sea below to extinguish the fire, but they were immediately met with fire from the attacking Ming troops.

Under the battery, the Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded, they were either engulfed in fire or killed by the Ming army.

Hidaka couldn't help but cry and cried out in despair: "This is not a war, it is a complete massacre!" ”

There was a huge disparity in equipment, the quality of the soldiers was far inferior to that of the enemy, and he had a deep sense of powerlessness.

However, the Ming army's offensive continued, and the soldiers of the Marine Corps, wearing wet military coats, approached the fire without hesitation, launching round after round of attacks on the fort.

How much hope that his subordinates can be as elite as the soldiers of the Ming army, fighting without fear of death.

However, he was disappointed that his few subordinates had now been killed, like a stray dog being beaten, hiding in the fort and shivering, and some soldiers could not even hold their guns.

The fort fortress, which is the last core defensive position of the Osaka Fort, and the three positions of the north and south forts are each other's horns and coordinate with each other.

In particular, the numerous Franc cannons deployed on the north and south batteries can quickly fire shotguns, providing strong fire support to the central fortress, forming a huge blockade area.

If the Ming army wanted to break through the fortress, it must first break through the north and south forts, cut off its wings, and then rely on the forts to launch a strong attack on the main formation of the fortress to completely wipe out the remnants of the Japanese army cowering in the fortress.

Zhu Chenggong, the grandfather surnamed Guo, personally landed on the shore and ordered two marine regiments to launch a strong attack on the north and south batteries at the same time.

Originally, with the strength of several thousand troops of the Ming Army's marines, they should not divide their forces to attack, but should concentrate their superior forces to attack a little.

However, Zhu Chenggong found that the Japanese batteries were very well designed, the positions were not large, and the artillery on the north and south batteries could support each other, and if they concentrated their forces on one of the batteries, the artillery on the other battery could give full play to the power of artillery fire and cause huge casualties to the attacking marines.

The only way is to attack on both sides at the same time, and the short-handed combat will make it difficult to bring out the power of its artillery.

Moreover, Zhu Chenggong got the news that at night, Japanese reinforcements continued to come out of Osaka City to reinforce the battery.

Osaka is known as the "water capital" because of its waters, which account for more than one-tenth of Osaka's area.

The Yodo River, which flows through the northern part of Osaka Castle, has the largest amount of water, and it has been the main artery of Osaka's economy that once had many markets along the Yodo River.

The Yodo River flowed southwest and emptied into Osaka Bay, and the Ming army was stationed in the south of Osaka Castle, so the Japanese boats could reach the Osaka Fort along the Yodogawa River and form a steady stream of reinforcements.

This is also the reason why Xu Qingshan tried his best to take down the Osaka Fort, and if he took it, he could let the Ming naval warships go north along the river and bombard Osaka City, greatly reducing the losses of the Ming army in attacking the city.

Overnight, the Japanese army sent hundreds of small boats loaded with thousands of soldiers for reinforcements, although they were damaged by the Ming navy, some reinforcements landed.

In order to prevent more Japanese reinforcements from sabotaging the war, what Zhu Chenggong had to do was to race against time and take this big fart as soon as possible.

On the west side of the North Fort, Zhu Chenggong leaned against an unknown old tree, raised a Wushi rifle, and aimed and fired.

In the fort fortress, a Japanese soldier who had just emerged, a blood mist rose from his head and planted the fort.

"This gun is really handy!"

Zhu Chenggong shook the artifact in his hand and praised it.

At this time, Liu Guoxuan, the commander of the Marine Corps, ran to Zhu Chenggong in a hurry, shouting all the way: "My surname is Guo, our regiment's offensive route has no cover, and the troops are completely exposed to an open field, and they have suffered heavy casualties from the artillery fire and muskets of Little Japan!" ”

Zhu Chenggong frowned and shouted, "Whoever asked you to come over, go back to your position immediately!" ”

Liu Guoxuan said with a sad face: "The surname of the country, the shotgun that little Japan hit, one of my assault hundred hundred and twenty eighty people is about to be reimbursed!" ”

"Get back now!"

Zhu Chenggong shouted: "One assault Bai is reimbursed, and then one more battalion, and the three battalions under you are reimbursed, you will fucking give Lao Tzu a top!" ”

Liu Guoxuan's fierce man cried: "The surname of the country, if you continue to fight like this, one of my marine battalions will be gone!" ”

Zhu Chenggong said: "A marine battalion under Shi Lang is almost gone, and the four hundred people in a battalion are basically all killed, you are a ball!" ”

Liu Guoxuan was stunned for a moment, and secretly said that Shi Lang was ruthless enough.

After hesitating for a moment, he cried again and said, "My lord, why don't you send a few warships over to bombard these dog-day batteries......

"Fart!"

Zhu Chenggong shouted: "If I transfer all the battleships, the small Japanese reinforcements in the north will break through the sea blockade and land in a steady stream, and they will wrap our dumplings!" Our battle is in vain! ”

Liu Guoxuan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and after a day and a night, he remembered that in Osaka City, twenty miles away, there were still sixty or seventy thousand Japanese troops?

As long as they have a little brain, they will not sit idly by and ignore the Osaka Fort.

If it weren't for these small Japanese reinforcements at night, they would have been sent to see Hades long ago with the thousands of books of the forts and the 2,000 marines stationed in the forts!

Liu Guoxuan muttered: "I don't know how Xu Dashuai did it, he actually asked the little Japanese reinforcements to come over." ”

Zhu Chenggong snorted and said: "You know a fart, the army doesn't have a few guns, and the Yodogawa River is one or two miles wide, just with their artillery, how many Japanese ships can be hit?" ”

"This battle still has to rely on us to fight, you treat them as auxiliaries, hurry back and continue the attack!"

Liu Guoxuan gritted his teeth and shouted: "Fuck, I don't believe that I can't kill this group of little Japan!" ”

Regardless of Zhou Xianxian, he turned around and beckoned: "Brothers of the Second Marine Regiment, rush with Lao Tzu!" ”

Liu Guoxuan took the lead, and there were more than 1,000 people in the second regiment behind him, and even the cooks carried guns and followed him to the open ground.

Zhu Chenggong shouted: "Liu Guoxuan, what the fuck are you doing?" Stop for Lao Tzu! ”

Liu Guoxuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned around: "The surname of the country, didn't you say that I should be on top personally?" ”

"Fuck you!"

Zhu Chenggong scolded: "What do the military regulations say, the troops haven't been exhausted yet, what are you playing as a regiment to take the lead in the charge, it's not this time for you to fucking want to die!" ”

Liu Guoxuan is a good seedling for fighting, and Zhu Chenggong pulled it up, he was afraid that this guy would rush to the front and be knocked down by a shot from Little Japan.

Liu Guoxuan was embarrassed, and he felt right, His Majesty strictly ordered the regiment commander and above generals not to take the lead in the charge, and it was a violation of military discipline to do so.

Sighing, he howled at his subordinates around him: "Brothers, rush to Lao Tzu, be sure to overturn this group of little Japan!" ”

Saying that, Liu Guoxuan also rushed forward with this, and the faster he rushed, he was faintly in the lead......

Zhu Chenggong, who was behind him, punched the unknown old tree and scolded angrily: "Fuck, dogs can't change the habit of eating shit!" ”

Back then, when he fought the Dutch in Taiwan, this guy was this virtue, and he personally led his subordinates to defeat the counterattack of the red ghosts, and now he still has this virtue when he fights the Japanese......
