Several airships hovered near the breakthrough point, using twin water-cooled heavy machine guns behind the pod to block the city near the breakthrough point and ensure the safety of the sappers under the city.

The sappers of the Far Eastern Army moved quickly, arranged boxes of explosives, and then took wire wheels to pull the wires more than 100 meters away from the city wall. In order to avoid being affected by the blast, several airships in the air also slowly flew away from the airspace near the city head of the breakthrough point.

After the artillery fire of the Far Eastern Army was extended, the samurai and ashigaru who were lucky enough to survive the shogunate army, as well as a large number of civilians who stood up, stubbornly crawled out of the ruins. When they saw the Far Eastern flying boats leaving, they immediately drove away the civilians who had marched forward, and climbed to the top of the city, ready to deal with the next attack from the Far East.

Armed with iron cannons and bows and arrows, they lay on the head of the collapsed and dilapidated city, staring nervously at the steel monsters in the distance. Many civilians were trembling with bamboo guns in their hands, and some of them were even frightened to tears.

"Yaga...... You stupid guys, cowards...... Hurry up and get into position, they're going to attack......"

A lower-ranking samurai of the shogunate army kept kicking and hitting the civilians on the city walls, shouting and cursing at them. Suddenly, he felt as if he was flying all at once, and then he didn't know anything.

"Boom ......"

There was an incomparably loud sound that made the entire Edo Castle tremble a few times. The dense artillery fire just now, compared to this loud sound, was simply heaven and earth.

The section of the city wall at the breakthrough point burst open in an instant, and the earth, wood, bricks and tiles were thrown into the air dozens of meters away. Hundreds of shogunate soldiers made planes and turned into pieces of flesh and blood. The shogunate troops on the walls on both sides of the blast site were also very miserable, and hundreds of people were shocked to the point of bleeding and were shocked to death.

After the smoke and dust cleared, the city wall of the breakthrough point was blown open a huge gap of several tens of meters.

A roar was heard, and two Soviet-style tracked rocket obstacle breakers. Whistling and rushing up again. Several belts driven by rockets were fired one after another, and they smashed into the ruins of the breaches of the city wall over and over again.

In a few moments, a wide passage was carved out of the rubble at the opening of the city wall. Several Soviet-style tracked military construction machinery vehicles were cleaned up with bulldozers, and the passage dozens of meters wide was completely cleared.

Fujita looked at the walls of Edo Castle, and was instantly blown out of a gap by the Far Eastern Army engineers. His heart was stirred. Since he became the chief general of the Far Eastern Death Army. Fujita never went into battle to kill the enemy in person, he has always missed the years when he fought to the death for the Far East, and today he can finally go into battle to kill the enemy again.

Edo Castle in front of him was once the main city of the Tokugawa shogunate, and for a traditional samurai like him, it would be the greatest honor of his life to be the first person to set foot in this main city.

A red flare slowly rose, and Fujita slowly drew his katana from behind him, raised it and swung it forward. Then he rushed forward first.

Kenji behind him also drew his sword and followed in the footsteps of Fujita into Edo Castle. The head of the family who had been loyal was destroyed by the Tokugawa shogunate after the Battle of Sekigahara. As a result, he became a wandering samurai, and today he can finally avenge his former master's family.

The samurai who followed Fujita and Kenji were all the first batch of veteran daredevils in the Far East. The Far Eastern Army, in recognition of them, also gave them the first opportunity to enter Edo Castle, which was for them. It is a great honor in the life of a samurai.

All the daredevils and warriors were filled with boundless anger. It looked eerie and terrifying, like a dark cloud, pressing towards Edo Castle. This is a group of humanoid beasts, their eyes full of rage, and the tyranny that has been stagnant in their hearts for a long time, perhaps only through killing can be cathartic.

A large number of daredevils samurai. In a dense street battle formation, they took the lead in rushing into Edo Castle through the gap at the breakthrough point. At the front of the line, there were more than a dozen daredevils with huge shields, and Fujita and Kenji clenched their katanas in both hands. Closely followed the shielder.

The Tokugawa shogunate's samurai and ashigaru who remained in the outer castle of Edo simply led a large number of soldiers to remove the cannon fodder of Edo Castle from the city wall, and used the buildings in the outer castle of Edo to fight street battles with the Far Eastern Army.

The samurai of the Tokugawa shogunate army who remained in the outer city had already put life and death on the line. The elite who guarded Edo Castle were all descendants of the Mikawa samurai, who were the first of the Tokugawa shogunate.

The Samurai of Mikawa are known for their loyalty and bravery, and Mikawa is located in the Gulf Plain, with fertile land, convenient transportation, and abundant products. But because of its extremely important transportation position, it has become a fat meat that major forces can pounce on at any time. Therefore. Mikawa is often controlled by a number of daimyo in turn.

The samurai and peasants of Mikawa were in a state of resignation. And they are in this state, and they learn one thing, and that is patience. Matsudaira's master, Nobuyasu, was recognized by the people of Mikawa through his intellect and bravery, as well as his recognition of the land and the people. Meantime. It also taught the people of Trois-Rivières a more important spirit, that is, loyalty.

Maybe they don't have the best equipment, maybe they don't have the most perfect tactics. However, the Samurai of Mikawa used their loyalty and patience to allow Tokugawa Ieyasu to gain the world and achieve hegemony.

Therefore, the samurai and ashigaru of the shogunate army did not lose their fighting spirit because Tokugawa Yoribo left them in the outer city. On the contrary, they aroused their mortal heart, desperately drove the civilian cannon fodder of the standing team, and relied on the small streets and alleys of Edo Castle to fight desperately with the Far Eastern Army.

In the face of the complex environment of the city outside the river, the fire support of the artillery and air boat units of the Far Eastern Army was suddenly greatly reduced. Sometimes, in order to eliminate a shogunate army and a large number of cannon fodder, the only way to cover the whole area is to use firepower. It is a waste of ammunition and a lot of time.

And the civilian cannon fodder mobilized by the shogunate army was still innumerable, and after killing one piece, another piece came up, which greatly hindered the offensive speed of the Far Eastern Army. Qiang Quansheng and Hao Changfeng couldn't help but be furious, and directly ordered the artillery to use 12-barreled 107-mm rocket artillery to cover threatening targets.

The Air Force's airship units also bombed both sides of the passage of the troops' attack with incendiary bombs, creating walls of fire to block the harassment of the shogunate army, and trying to get the assault force to kill the inner castle of Edo as soon as possible.

However, the shogunate blocked all major thoroughfares and set fire to large swathes of the outer city, hindering the Far Eastern Army's offensive. Qiang Quansheng and Hao Changfeng also gave up their plan to kill the inner city in one go, so it was better to simply sweep the outer city first. (To be continued......)
