Although the mercenaries are all Japanese, they come from all over the world in Japan, and most of them are very unfamiliar with Nihonmatsu, and the time they have been stationed in Nihonmatsu is also very short, so naturally they don't know much about the geographical environment of Nihonmatsu. Because the terrain was unfamiliar, and there was no detailed reconnaissance in the early stage, the defense line of the mercenaries was arranged based on the original defense line of the soldiers of the Nihonmatsu Domain.

The original defense line of the Nihonmatsu Youth Team and the feudal soldiers was not very tight. At that time, there was no one in Erhonsong, so naturally only focused on the key points, and many remote paths were unfortified. The mercenaries simply took over the defense line of the Nihonmatsu Domain and the Youth Team, and naturally there were big loopholes in the defense line. The mercenaries in a strange place didn't find it, and the condescending Shanyu and the others on the lookout could see it clearly, but they found it too late, and hundreds of Japanese soldiers had already rushed into the streets of Guocheng outside Nihonmatsu along the path.

"Division Commander!" Shanyu actually knows what to do now, but his position is political commissar, so it has to be Asano to give orders.

"Let Wulin be the only one to hold the passage to Neiguo City, try to use light weapons and direct-aiming firearms to meet the enemy, let Uesugi and others divide their troops to help, and clear the enemy forces in Waiguo City as soon as possible." Asano didn't talk nonsense with Niwa either, and hurriedly gave the order to engage the enemy, but he didn't let the artillery do it.

There are a large number of houses in Waiguo Castle, most of which are ordinary people, but there are also many families of samurai. If you let the artillery do it, there will be nothing left after a single shell. Of course, the enemy will be bombarded to slag, but the people of Nihonmatsu will have to suffer more casualties. How to say that this is also a place where shallow wild grows, people are not close to the soil, and Asano can't ignore the life and death of the people. Therefore, although the artillery can deal with the enemy who invades the outer city in minutes, Asano still wants to solve the battle with small arms with the lowest probability of accidental damage and protect his hometown father.

"Division commander, there are many houses in Waiguo City, and the enemy can find a lot of cover. If you only rely on small arms and direct-aim artillery, I am afraid that the war will drag on for too long, and I am afraid that something will happen! Shanyu doesn't take the people of Erbensong seriously at all, he just wants to solve the enemy as soon as possible, and how many people Erbensong will die is not within his consideration at all.

"Let's take a look! If the enemy is stubbornly resistant, then mobilize heavy artillery support! Asano's face was embarrassed, he still couldn't bear it after all.

"Okay!" Shanyu didn't insist, the only reserve in Wulin in Guocheng had a brigade of more than 600 people, and the Japanese army's strength advantage was not great, so there was no need to be so nervous.

The only martial artist who hugged Shanyu's thigh all the way is now also the captain of the major. And because Shanyu's thighs are too thick, the only credit for martial arts has always been not small, but he rarely fights on the front line, he is the captain of Shanyu's guard all the year round, and he works part-time as a reserve. Because the Japanese army attacking head-on had just been bombarded by a cannon fire, Wulin only didn't expect that a rival would come to his door, so the guards of Neiguo City were very lax. When Uesugi Yuyuki commanded the troops to defend on the front line, the only subordinates of the martial arts were in a daze in Neiguo City, and a few people who were a little lively and thoughtful were also showing their new gadgets to the hillbillies of Nihonmatsu. The youth team also set up barricades at several key passes, but the only subordinates of the martial arts did not prepare anything.

Suddenly, there was a warning signal of an enemy attack, and the martial arts brigade, which was naturally slack, was in a hurry. Fortunately, these 10,000-year-old reserves are only slack, and the daily military training has not fallen at all, otherwise the Japanese army will really rush under their noses before they complete the deployment. However, although the emergency disposal was completed, the defense line of the only brigade in the martial arts was too rudimentary, and they didn't even have decent bunkers.

"Which one is their officer?" Seeing the Japanese army approaching, the only intestines of Wulin regretted it, his front was too thin, and he would definitely suffer a loss when he fought. However, Wulin is the only one who is a little anxious, so he hurriedly pulled over a soldier from Nihonmatsu and asked how to find the commander of the Japanese army among a group of strangely dressed people.

"The one who wears a cow hairy hat!" The soldiers were stunned by Wulin's only idea, but they still quickly told Wulin the only correct answer.

"What's a cow hat?" The only time Wulin mixed in Japan, there was no such hat.

"Their average soldier wears a black peaked cap, and the one that resembles a lion's mane is a calf-haired hat." For the only one in Wulin who didn't know the Niu Mao hat, the feudal soldier was also very understanding, and he couldn't figure out what was wearing on the other side before.

Although this thing has some roots in Japanese history, this hat form is the first of its kind in the new government army. The strange fur on the hat is actually a rhino hair from the Himalayas, which was popular in Japan during the Koku period, and the tail hair of the rhino was often decorated on the helmet pockets and spears of high-ranking samurai, called "Kara Tou" (かしら), and this custom remained until the Edo period. The helmet pocket of the Japanese Warring States military commander Takeda Shingen is decorated with white ox hair, and Tokugawa Ieyasu likes this thing even more, and there is the so-called "Tokugawa Ieyasu has two things to be proud of, one is his ox hair head pocket, and the other is Honda Heihachi".

The new government army of the Meiji government consisted of a mixed army of the feudal domains, and with the exception of some units with uniform uniforms, they basically wore their own civilian clothes to fight. Unless they know each other, it's really hard to figure out which one is an officer. After the bloodless opening of Edo Castle, the new government army entered Edo and found a large number of ox hairs when they opened the warehouse. In the eyes of the discoverers, the shogunate is gone, let's use it! Then the officers of Satsuma, Choshu, and Tosa put on ox hats that looked like lion dances. These cow hairs became their trophies, and they were also proof that the shogunate army could see the victory of the Shogunate faction. The fur of the ox in the shogunate's warehouse came in three colors, the black hair was given to the Satsuma domain, the white hair was given to the Choshu domain, and the red hair was given to the Tosa domain, and it became the military hat of the captain-level commander of the three feudal domains. The Hizen clan and other baskets also asked for the distribution of the cow hair, but the things had already been divided, and there was still their share.

"Sniper on the lookout, give Lao Tzu the shot aimed at the black lion's head!" After listening to the feudal soldiers introduce the characteristics of the opponent's commander, Wu Lin quickly ordered his sniper to shoot the opponent's black gun.

The commander of the Japanese army is really worthy of his black hair, and he is very brave. Like a big rooster, he walked at the front of the team with great vigor. His black hair is like a target, and he walks in the front alone, and it is difficult for a sniper to hit crookedly. Without hesitation, the sniper took aim at the black mane and gently pulled the trigger.
