At midnight, two landing ships, two landing craft, and more than a dozen offshore steam deck barges, under the cover of dark night, slowly sailed into the Ariake Sea and stopped in the waters off the coast of Kumamoto Domain.

In the bridge of the No. 1 landing ship, Hu Guosheng picked up the microphone and shouted in a deep voice: "Commander-in-chief, the landing fleet and the ...... of the sea area near the Kumamoto Domain."

"Kumamoto Castle Group Ready ......"

"Yanagawa Castle Team Ready......"

As the intelligence officers of the two feudal cities and the three array houses were prepared one after another, Song Tao stood in the pod on the airship, picked up the microphone and shouted loudly: "Attention of all units, attention of all units...... Go ahead and get started!! ”

Song Tao put down the microphone, turned around and shouted to the airborne team in the pod: "Check the equipment and prepare for action......"

When the officers and soldiers in the pod heard this, they stood up one after another, helped each other with the team members next to them, and kept checking the equipment on the personnel. The two airship pilots also made an OK gesture to Song Tao, and the airship began to fly slowly in the direction of Kumamoto Castle.

After receiving the order, the ships began to separate and move towards their respective targets. The No. 1 landing ship released a drone, and then based on the real-time images transmitted by the drone, it selected a coastal beach.

The huge front tongue door slowly opened, and several jeeps roared out of the landing ship and rushed to the beachhead. This was followed by Fujita leading a samurai battalion of daredevils down the stream. Fujita tidied up the queue on the shore, then waved his hand violently and shouted, "Attack ......"

More than 500 officers and men of the assault brigade followed in the footsteps of Fujita and disappeared into the dark night. The landing ship unloaded its personnel and vehicles, slowly closed its front tongue door, and retreated from the coast.

Kumamoto Castle is a Hirayama castle. The total length of the castle is 5.3 km. To the southwest and northeast is the ancient city of Chiba Castle, known as Demaru. The castle is based on the technology of the Ulsan Waseong period. The defense was concentrated in the south to deal with the invasion of the imaginary Satsuma clan. Ishigaki outside Kumamoto City Hall. It is the longest in Japan.

The total area of the castle is about 980,000 square meters, and there are many buildings such as pavilions, pavilions, turrets, wells, and stone walls. The castle tower is a connected watchtower type, and the main castle tower is a five-layered, six-story and one-story basement, and is called the "First Castle Tree". The small castle tower is a three-tiered, four-storey, and one-story basement called the "Niyo Mori" or "Gojo", and is the residence of the lord's wife. To the northeast of the city is the Fengguo temple site established by the Qing Dynasty. And the southwest of the city Miaojie Temple ruins and Hosokawa family two spiritual temples are connected.

Kumamoto Castle's fortification has been proven in modern warfare. In the 10th year of the Meiji era, during the Southwest War, the 13,000-strong Saigo Army attacked the Kumamoto Town Taiwan Army, which had only 3,400 defenders.

Saigo Takamori, the general of the Saigo Army, led 30 mountain artillery and 30 mortar artillery to attack, and the commander of Gugancheng who defended the city only had 13 mountain artillery, 7 mortar artillery and 6 field artillery that had been eliminated, so it could be said that there was no hope of victory at all. However, after 52 days of strong attack, the Saigo army declared a total defeat and retreated. It is an indelible mark on the final demise.

Fujita led the assault brigade into two routes, one by vehicle through Guò land to Kumamoto Castle, and the other by boarding an assault boat and driving along Shirakawa to Kumamoto Castle. By the time they reached the outskirts of Kumamoto Castle, the airship, which had been cruising in the air, had already seen their arrival through the Guò thermal imaging telescope.

"Old Teng, your assault brigade will first hide on the outskirts of the castle town, and wait for my order before attacking. We'll take the gates in a moment, and you'll have to get to Guò Castle Town as fast as you can. The airship will provide you with air support and help you clear the fortresses in your attack route.

"Hi ......"

Song Tao put down the microphone. Then shouted and said: "The airship descends, the assault squad prepares for the last time......"

Because Kumamoto Castle was heavily defended and was the largest castle in this operation, two airships were sent to support Kumamoto Castle. With Song Tao's order, a huge Type 35 medium-sized four-engine airship and Type 32 twin-engine small airship. Begin a slow downward descent.

Song Tao picked up the microphone and shouted: "Zhang Yufei's sniper team is ready to ......

Zhang Yufei first slid down from the pod of the Type 32 airship carrying the sniper team. He will lead a sniper team to clean up the castle tower and occupy the various commanding heights of the castle tower, controlling the entire Kumamoto Castle Honmaru and Toranoguchi.

Zhang Yufei was the first to slide down, he let go of the rope and took out his Glock pistol, squatting on the roof of the castle tower to guard the rest of the team. When all the team members had come down, they jumped down the eaves of the castle tower into the castle tower.

The sniper team, armed with night vision devices and a Glock pistol with a silencer, swept through the castle tower. The samurai of the Hosokawa family, who was awakened by the huge roar of the airship, were eliminated by several snipers before they could even put on their clothes.

After cleaning up the inside of the castle tower, they placed a few mines at the entrances and exits of the castle tower, and then went to the base layer of the castle tower. Zhang Yufei arranged the four sniper rifles in a vantage point one after another in all directions.

Song Tao's assault team will take a Type 35 medium-sized four-engine airship that will slide down over the Honmaru of Kumamoto Castle, and after Song Tao and more than a dozen commandos fall to the ground, the assault team will also divide their troops into two routes, follow Song Tao all the way to attack Honmaru, and implement decapitation tactics on the Hosokawa family. Four PK machine gunners will go to support the intelligence team to seize the city gate, and use four machine guns to control the city gate. Hold on until the arrival of the Daredevils Brigade led by Fujita.

At this time, the samurai of the Hosokawa family in Kumamoto Castle were awakened by the huge buzzing sound overhead. They lit their lamps, put on their clothes haphazardly, and rushed out of the room with their weapons in hand. After they came out, the airships flew away, and Song Tao and the others had already fallen to the ground and had already begun to organize an attack.

It was pitch black, and the visibility was close even with torches, and most of the samurai were running to the castle tower from all directions, making Kumamoto Castle extremely chaotic. The elite flag of the Hosokawa clan, the Samurai, who lives in the head of the family.

Song Tao and the others carried night vision devices and AN-94 and AK-74 automatic rifles with mufflers in their hands, and quickly rushed to the location of Hosokawa Tadashi, the lord of the Kumamoto Domain, and killed all the samurai of the Hosokawa family along the way.

Taking advantage of the chaos, they rushed into Hosokawa Tadayoshi's courtyard before the samurai of the Hosokawa family could react. In order to achieve a quick victory, Song Tao turned back loudly and shouted: "Wear a gas mask and prepare tear gas bombs......"

"Bang...... Bang ......" Several white plumes of smoke streaked through the dark night and smashed into the courtyard.

As several tear gas bombs were fired, the rapidly rising gas gas instantly filled the courtyard. Although the Hosokawa samurai guarding here were very brave and desperately guarded their master, they immediately lost most of their combat effectiveness in the face of the pungent gas. Song Tao led a dozen commandos, armed with automatic rifles, and rushed all the way into the courtyard, their feet piled up with layers of corpses. (To be continued......)
