Chapter Ninety-Six: Shelling

Li Ming and Song Tao led the special combat team to keep in touch with the platoon commanders of each platoon at any time, and slowly followed behind them. Song Tao said with a smile: "These rookies are okay, just beat a few strips, and it makes sense to be a rookie." But this kind of battle is still not enough, and they have to engage in some more intense battles to truly appreciate what the real battlefield is. ”

This is not bad, and it fully shows that the fighters of these teaching teams, after several months of hard training, have initially achieved the expected results. Everything must be done in an orderly manner, as if you were born to fight, you forgot the bear when you first went abroad, if it weren't for Lao Tzu, you would have hung up a long time ago. ”

Song Tao's face was flushed by Li Ming's squeeze, and he was so angry that he pointed at Li Ming and couldn't speak. Li Ming patted his face and said with a smile: "Let's go, Rambo...... Let's see where these bunnies have hit. ”

Song Tao, who was angry, opened Li Ming's hand and walked forward angrily, Li Ming saw Song Tao's appearance, rushed over with laughter, hugged his neck, and the two followed in a fight.

Wang Haiyang led a platoon, and after several skirmishes, finally walked through the central area of Sakai Port and came to the outer city wall of Sakai City. It was also the seat of the Sakai City Headquarters, and not far from the gates of Sakai City, where the scattered shogunate samurai and ashigaru fled in a vain attempt to rely on the fortifications to resist the attacks of the teaching team.

Sakai's shogunate soldiers had gathered under the castle, organized their defensive lines with difficult terrain and defenses, and had already sent fast horses calling for help. The two companies of the teaching team, which had converged from various streets, did not rush to attack, but stopped here and waited for Li Ming's arrival.

When Li Ming and Song Tao arrived at the front line, all the troops of the assault battalion had already gathered here, after all, the other party had already organized a defensive line, and if they attacked blindly, they might encounter casualties.

Therefore, when the detachments of the assault battalion attacked here, Wang Yaowu, the most senior platoon commander, organized everyone to establish a simple defense line, and then quickly contacted Li Ming and asked him to come over and preside over the next attack.

As soon as Li Ming and Song Tao arrived with the special combat team and two jeeps, they walked to the front and began to observe the situation ahead with binoculars. Song Tao put down the binoculars, frowned, and said, "It's better to call for artillery support, and then transfer the two armored transport vehicles, it will be very troublesome if you attack hard." ”

"Even artillery support may not be effective, the environment here is too complicated, after all, we don't have enough shells to cover here. With so many small streets and alleys, armored vehicles can't drive in, and in the end they have to go up and sweep the infantry. ”

Song Tao listened to Li Ming's words and said unconvinced: "I don't believe that a shell exploded, coupled with the assault of two armored vehicles on a rampage, those devils can still hold their positions, and they will run away long ago." ”

Li Ming thought for a moment and said, "There is no problem in taking the city wall and the commission, but what about the city area behind the commissioner." Unless it is completely covered with shells, if it can't be done, the effect will be very poor. In the end, it was not up to the infantry to sweep the streets and alleys, and if I didn't completely control the place, I could not be assured that the surrounding shogunate troops would arrive for reinforcements by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. If there are 1,800 devils hiding there, they will definitely come out and make trouble with us when we defend the city. ”

Song Tao also nodded, and said with a wry smile: "It's really not good, I led the special combat team as a commando, and let the two companies of the teaching team follow behind us, street by street, alley by alley, to sweep up the remnants of the enemy." If this environment allows the teaching team to rush to the front, then I am not reluctant, it is not easy to cultivate this batch of good seedlings, and it is definitely not necessary to spend money here. It's not worth dying one or two. ”

Suddenly, there was a dense sound of footsteps behind them, and everyone suddenly became nervous, and the soldiers of the teaching team who were on guard had already raised their guns and were ready to shoot. Li Ming and Song Tao also walked over, picked up the binoculars and took a look, Li Ming shouted with a smile: "The guard is lifted, they are Fujita's death brigade." ”

After Li Ming finished speaking, he patted Song Tao on the shoulder, and laughed: "Dude, this time someone is a commando, there are these daredevils recruited by Fujita, and it will be no problem to take it there." ”

Song Tao also smiled and said: "It's just a test of the loyalty and combat effectiveness of these devils, and we can rest assured that we will use them in the future, although I trust Fujita more now, but I still don't have much support for other devils." ”

Fujita led a group of samurai to run over panting, and he brought the middle-aged samurai to Li Ming, and said excitedly: "General, the Death Army Brigade has been assembled and can participate in the battle at any time. ”

Li Ming glanced at the middle-aged samurai beside Fujita, and Fujita immediately introduced: "This is Kenji-kun, since we left last time, it was Kenji-kun who has been managing these recruited samurai for us. ”

After Fujita finished speaking, he said a few words to Kenji in Japanese, and Kenji immediately walked up, knelt on the ground with a "poof", and said excitedly in Japanese: "Kenji has seen the Shogun-sama." ”

Li Ming said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, in the future, you will assist Fujita and be the deputy captain of the Death Army, I hope you will continue to work hard in the future, and the company will not disappoint you." ”

Fujita excitedly helped Kenji translate Li Ming's words, Kenji's tears suddenly fell, and he choked up: "I am willing to die for the Lord's family." ”

Li Ming nodded, and then shouted into the headphones: "I'm Li Ming, send over the equipment of that batch of daredevils." Be quick...... We're going to attack here. ”

He hung up the communication, turned his head to Fujita and said: "There is still time, you and Kenji will organize the Death Army Brigade into ten squads, and the team leader will be appointed by you personally, and it will be formed in the shortest possible time, and then we still have a tough battle to fight." ”

"Hi ......"

Li Ming turned around and beckoned all the platoon commanders to study the attack plan together. Fujita and Kenji also walked to the side and began to reorganize the Death Army Brigade.

After being busy for a while, two armored vehicles each pulled a trailer to the front of the battle line, delivered the equipment of the daredevils, and also stayed with more than a dozen Russian-style explosion-proof shields. There are also some grenades and smoke grenades.

A group of Japanese samurai were each given a set of equipment that was the same as Fujita's, and they were all happy as if they were something. They are now so poor that they are clanging, and their pockets are cleaner than their faces. Fujita kicked open several houses on the side of the street and drove a group of samurai there to change their equipment.

Gao Jianguo was not at ease, and also rushed over with the armored car. He got out of the car and walked to Li Ming's side, and before Li Ming could speak, he snatched the telescope from Song Tao's hand, picked it up and observed it carefully.

"It's really troublesome, if there is no cooperation from the daredevils, we really have to use our people to fill it. You continue to study the battle plan, don't rush it, the artillery platoon will send observers to provide you with artillery support.

I reckon that the walls and the headquarters may fall apart with a single bombardment, but the area behind the headquarters will have to be swept by you, street by street. The dock is organizing people to load the goods, and I have to go back and keep an eye on it, they have caught nearly a thousand devils in the vicinity, and they are nervously loading food. You just have to take control of this place before the other side's reinforcements arrive. ”

Gao Jianguo handed the telescope back to Song Tao, communicated with Li Ming and them, and when the armored car finished unloading the goods, he went back with the armored car. After a while, an observer from the artillery platoon arrived, and they immediately calculated the shooting elements and began the test firing.

"Boom ......"

A shell slammed into the street near the headquarters on the opposite side, exploding violently. As the artillery observation team revised the numbers, the second test-fired 82-mm mortar shell also fell, accurately smashing into the courtyard of the institute. The artillery observation team then called two mortar firing positions, and a round of eight rapid fire came.

As 82-mm mortar shells roared down from the sky, the entire office was suddenly plunged into a sea of fire. Countless shogunate samurai and ashigaru shouted loudly and ran out of the shogunate, fleeing into the complex castle behind.

The artillery observation team began to revise the Zhuyuan, and the artillery fire began to extend, gradually knocking out the walls and the fortifications under the walls one by one, and the shogunate samurai and ashigaru who were guarding here only held out for a while before fleeing from the fortifications.

In the distance, the Japanese samurai of the Death Army Brigade that had been reorganized were waiting there in small formations, and they were shocked by this terrifying scene one by one.

When had they ever seen such a powerful artillery fire, they were all pale with fright, and they were drenched in cold sweat, and many of the samurai's legs trembled. But they are also very glad that they have found a strong master.

As Li Ming expected, the fleeing shogunate soldiers all fled into that area with complicated terrain, and it seemed that they still had to attack. Li Ming turned around and shouted, "Fujita ......"

I saw a short figure that appeared in front of Li Ming in an instant, startling Li Ming and Song Tao. All of my thoughts are totaling how this guy came here and how he is elusive.

In fact, when Fujita saw the mortar shells exploding one after another, he was also shocked and dumbfounded. But he was still very excited, and finally had the opportunity to fight for the main family.

So he has been standing next to Li Ming and them, just waiting for Li Ming's call. When he heard Li Ming's shout, he immediately rushed over with an arrow step.

"General, the Death Army has been formed and can fight at any time."

"Uh...... Well, you go back and ask and see if there are any samurai who are familiar with the area, and call them to meet me. ”

"Hi ......"

After a while, Fujita ran back and said respectfully, "Lord Shogun, there are several samurai in the daredevil's brigade who have been there, and according to them, the samurai of the shogunate and the families of the shogunate live there. But everyone is not too familiar with it," R1152
