Xu Liejun, who led the team, also couldn't stand the smell of burnt human flesh, and even that smell still made people feel a kind of pain like suffocation in the chariot. Not to mention the peculiar stench of roasting human flesh, the even more unbearable mournful shouts penetrated through all the cracks in the chariot.

As the flames extended into the city, the artillery units of the 1st Marine Division continued to advance into the city. The people who were "bought" by Wu Zhu and his subordinates were all grateful for being able to escape this catastrophe that had absolutely no chance of surviving.

Under the watchful eye of the soldiers of the Shenzhou Army, they cleared an artillery position that could be used to continue firing in the still-scorching piles of charred dead people and broken walls.

This time, the Fuso soldiers on Edo Nimaru Castle (the inner city, which has three walls in Edo) were already on guard, and they fired at the positions of the Shinshu army outside the castle. Use a variety of firearms to stop the continued attack of the Shenzhou Army. However, the heavy black smoke from the flames of the fire made it extremely difficult for them to aim and shoot, so the resistance they caused was negligible.

In the midst of the explosion of "boom" shells, rocket artillery fired at the walls of Nimaru Castle in Edo Castle. As on the previous occasion, the Fuso soldiers above the city gave up their resistance almost instantly.

In this way, the artillery of the 1st Marine Division of the Shenzhou Army slowly advanced little by little along the road cleared by the people of Fusang after the flames, until when the predetermined range was reached, twenty howitzers began to set fire again. Then the relentless fire burned to the screams of the Fuso people, and the fire that could break all the will to resist raged in Edo Castle.

Night finally arrived, at this time, the continuous six hours of fire, almost burned the city outside of Nimaru, but also because of these fires made the Fuso army completely incapable of counterattacking, the fire completely blocked the soldiers in the city in Nimaru, and in the city of Nimaru, they could only try their best to fight the increasingly crazy fire.

The attack on the Shenzhou army came entirely from the Fusang garrison outside the city, as well as some Fusang troops who rushed to hear the news nearby. These Fuso troops were stimulated by the fire in Edo Castle, and they did not cooperate with each other to fight separately, shouting and rushing to the positions of the Shenshu army from different directions in batches.

In addition to the naval base, the positions of the Shenzhou Army were intensively defended against the artillery arrays that were still setting fire everywhere. Self-propelled mortars constantly fired flares, illuminating the positions. The continuous firing of Xiaofei Shen's crossbows and mortar shells had built a wall of death for them, and these nearby Fuso troops had nothing to mention at all.

Therefore, although the raids continued, basically speaking, they did not cause major trouble to the first division of the Shenzhou Army's marines, and the result of the fierce fighting was that the Shenzhou Army suffered dozens of casualties, but at least more than 3,000 corpses fell before their position. Moreover, all the casualties were hit by artillery fire from the last layer of the city wall of Sanmaru, and of course, for these casualties, the Fuso people had to pay the price.

By the time the entire castle arrived in the early morning, the castle walls, including the last one, had completely reduced to ashes, thanks to the lag in the construction industry and urban planning of the Fuso people. Houses made of fine pine planks are tightly connected, and it is really unfortunate not to carry out fire attacks.

From yesterday noon until this morning. The continuous fire for a full eighteen hours put Yue Xiaofei in a state of extreme euphoria. At this moment, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the ashes of Edo Castle, which was still bustling yesterday, Yue Xiaofei saw the whole picture of the night's fire.

Everywhere there were charred corpses that had been burned to a strange shape, still emitting green smoke and emitting a choking stench. Judging from their twisted shapes, the extent of the pain of their master's soul as it left his body showed that there was basically nothing left of the entire Edo Castle except for the metalwork.

"Sir, this is the residence of the Tokugawa shogun!"

Luo Na, who was called by Yue Xiaofei to direct the artillery shooting, came to his side. At this moment, she had already changed into the lady's dress, the gray, blue and white armor of the Shenzhou Navy wrapped her whole body, and the gray mask also covered her mouth and nose tightly.

Unexpectedly, Yue Xiaofei, who had won the battle, had no joy of victory at all at this moment. He muttered to himself in a low voice.

"Look! Check it out! It also has a population of 400,000...... Check it out...... Many acts of injustice will be killed, and this is just the beginning. ”

The lonely figure stood in the blackened city, his face facing the direction he had chosen, thinking it was the direction of Nanjing, and the sun shone on his face, illuminating his bright eyes.

What I actually thought was an answer to the heads of Nanjing, who were kicked around in the ground, to the women who were blind, and to the children who were crushing the corpses of their families and weeping loudly.

All around, the soldiers of the Shinshu Army, as usual, were cleaning up the battlefield with the surviving Fuso people, and there was nothing more left in the ashes of the entire Edo except for some metal. Even metals with high melting points, such as gold, were burned into a mess.

Due to Yue Xiaofei's ignorance, Luo Na was a little worried, and he called again: "Sir"

Yue Xiaofei turned around, his expression was much calmer now, and he nodded to Luo Na, indicating that he was fine. Then he issued an order to Wen Changming, who was following him: "Wen Changming, there is nothing to stay here, order the artillery to withdraw to the ship first, and ask Wu Zhi to collect all the ships that can be found nearby." The living people here were transported back to Tsushima and handed over to the Cult of God, and if supplies were available, they were loaded onto ships. Here, I don't want to stay any longer. ”

Glancing back at Edo Castle where the embers were resting, he turned around and said to Rona on the side, "Let's go, Rona thinks it's better for us to go back to the ship and stay here...... Let the navy be ready and set sail on time at eight o'clock tonight! ”

As the name suggests, the purpose of the southern front cluster led by Yue Xiaofei is to decapitate. Fuso now has two "heads", one is the Tokugawa family in Edo Castle, which has just been burned to the ground. They are the real chiefs, and the other is the Imperial family of Fuso in Nijo Castle, Kyoto.

For this family, Yue Xiaofei also has no good feelings. Although their family is powerless now, in World War II, it was the war order signed by their family, and in the end they were not punished in the slightest! Is this fair, of course not, so this is also a thing that must be corrected.

Now, so far, it seems that both snake heads have been completely cut off, and the matter of Fuso has come to an end.
