At this time, Lin Hua, the chief of staff next to him, frowned and said: "Commander, if you increase the intensity and scope of delivery, the air force units of the theater command will be a little reluctant to complete the task." There is also the chlorine tank we have in stock, which may also be a little insufficient. ”

Gao Jianguo thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "You go and contact Li Yukun and ask them to transfer the special weapons we have stored in recent years." Take them all out and put them all together. Li Yuncong, who informed the Ministry of the Air Force, asked him to transfer the air boat brigades in the Liaodong and Vladivostok areas, load them with chlorine gas tanks, and fly directly over to carry out the delivery mission. At present, there are still nearly forty hours before the general attack, and time should be enough. ”

Lin Hua listened to Gao Jianguo's words, and hurriedly turned around to make arrangements. Gao Jianguo turned his head again and asked Hu Guosheng: "Old Hu, the weather will not change in the past few days, right?" ”

Hu Guosheng shook his head and said: "The meteorological team sent by the company estimates that there should be no major weather changes in the next few days, the weather is mainly fine, and the wind is normal, which will basically not affect the actions of the airboat brigade." ”

Gao Jianguo nodded and said, "Then I can rest assured, if the weather conditions do not allow it, then I can only delay the general attack time for a few days." Since we have decided to drop special weapons on Osaka Castle, then after the general offensive begins, your Southern Army should not rush to break through in depth, and try to encircle the shogunate troops on the defense line as much as possible, and destroy the enemy on the defense line first. ”

At about ten o'clock the next night, the Tokugawa shogunate was set up on the Hyogozu defense line, and the samurai and ashigaru of the shogunate army were all waiting for them. According to the ninja's report, a large number of cavalry units landed in the coastal area of Harima a few days ago and are gathering in front of the defensive line. Moreover, the Satsuma army on the other side has been moving extremely much in the past few days, and it has been constantly moving.

There are various indications that the Satsuma clan will launch an attack in the near future. Not only did they receive strong support from the Far Eastern Army, but they also reorganized their troops. Moreover, the Far East also sent more than 20,000 cavalry troops. I came to Harima.

In Korea at that time, the Japanese daimyo were most impressed by the two branches of the Ming army. One is the artillery unit of the Ming army, and the other is the cavalry of the Ming army, which really made them suffer a lot of losses.

So the chief general of the Tokugawa shogunate army on the Hyogozu defense line, the cavalry troops sent by the Far Eastern Army. Very scared. Moreover, it is said that the artillery of the Far Eastern Army is very powerful, and the artillery of the Ming Army in Korea back then is simply the difference between heaven and earth compared to them. Therefore, the Tokugawa shogunate's defense line on the mountain castle flat castle and earthen fort fortress were reinforced with a large number of mountain stones, mainly to resist the bombardment of artillery fire from the Far East.

The Tokugawa shogunate worked hard to build this line of defense, but it was also a last resort. Because the battle at Harima Beach more than two months ago was too great a blow to the Tokugawa shogunate army, and their morale is extremely low now.

Now, if the Tokugawa shogunate army was to fight a field battle with the Satsuma army supporting the Far East, there was basically no chance of victory. Maybe the two sides are not at war. The Tokugawa shogunate was already in chaos within the army. The scene of the beach falling apart that day was really shocking. For the samurai and ashigaru of the shogunate army, the Far East was invincible.

That's why the Tokugawa shogunate spent so much effort to build such a perverted defense line. Although huge resources and manpower were expended, nearly 10,000 Japanese civilians died on the construction site in the process of construction alone. But this line of defense really raised the morale of the Tokugawa shogunate army again.

The Tokugawa Shogunate Army on the line today. There was no longer the original fear, and they stayed in the fortified mountain city of Pingcheng and the earthen fort. I feel a lot more at ease. They firmly believe that no matter how powerful the Far East is, it will not be so easy to break through the defense line they are guarding.

Okada Shinbei was a samurai on the Tokugawa shogunate's defense line, and his family was originally a retainer samurai of the Kii Tokugawa family who belonged to the Gozo family. Later it fell. So that today's Okada Shinbei is only mixed with an insignificant ashigaru head.

Tonight, he led his ashigaru to guard the defense line, and the Satsuma army on the opposite side has become more and more restless in the past few days, and the Tokugawa shogunate army on the defense line is also very nervous, not only strengthening the strength of the defense line. Even the guardian power at night is much more than before.

Okada Shinbei had not experienced the rout two months ago, and although he had heard a lot about it through the mouths of other samurai, he still didn't believe in the rumors of the gods, not only did he not believe it, but most of the Tokugawa samurai who had not experienced that battle did not believe it very much.

They all believed that they were the ones who had lost the battle and deliberately exaggerated the strength of the Far Eastern Army. Of course, Okada Shinbei knew the strength of the Far East, and he did not think that the shogunate army would be able to defeat the powerful Far East in a field environment.

But when Okada Shinbei came to the Hyogozu Line, the worries in his heart disappeared in an instant. With such a scale and such a strong defensive line, Okada Shinbei has never heard of it, even if he has never heard of it.

Although he didn't experience much of a big battle, his grandfather and father had experienced a big scene back then, his grandfather had been to Korea, and his father had participated in the Battle of Sekigahara and the Battle of Osaka. It was a battle of more than 100,000 people, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a bitter battle in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

His grandfather and father had told him about the great battles of those years, but he had never heard of such a perverted line of defense. The small mountain cities of Pingcheng were densely spread all over the defensive line, and if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it, and it was all built in a few months.

Okada's Shinbei looked solemn and patrolled back and forth on the section of the defense line he was in charge of, constantly urging his subordinates to cheer up. One of the ashigaru stayed up hard, leaned on the fortifications and dozed off, just in time to be caught by the patrolling Okada Shinbei.

He rushed over in a rage and kicked the ashigaru on top of him, knocking him to the ground. The ashigaru hurriedly got up, but was immediately grabbed by the collar by Okada Shinbei and slapped back and forth a dozen times.

"Yaga...... Baga ......"

He whipped back and forth, and scolded viciously. The ashigaru was dizzy from the beating, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, but he still kept shouting, "Hey...... Hi ......"

I was having a good time playing with Okada Shinbei when suddenly there was a loud buzzing sound in the air. Okada Shinbei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly pushed the unlucky guy to the ground, rushed to the earthen fort next to him, and looked into the air. But he looked at it for a long time, but he didn't find anything in the dark night sky.

"My lord, look there......"

Okada Shinbei looked back and saw that the unlucky guy he had beaten with blood all over his mouth was pointing at the sky in horror. He hurriedly looked in the direction of his finger and froze. (To be continued......)
