Chapter 763: Japan (7)

In addition to the fixed number of their own units, the various airship brigades in the Far East also have their own "nicknames" given by their units. For example, the Shark Brigade, the Tiger Brigade, the Demon Brigade, and so on.

There is even a strange brigade, which actually gave the strange name of "Popping Chrysanthemum Brigade", and painted a big chrysanthemum on the hull of the boat, with a bloody spear inserted on it, which makes people feel cold when they look at it.

The airship brigade that came here to support the Admiralty this time was the "Demon Brigade" drawn from the Luzon garrison, and each airship was painted with a satanic demon pattern with two horns on the head, almost all painted with a huge hull, which looked extremely fierce and terrifying.

When more than a dozen airships pressed down on the ground of the Shogunate coalition army, the huge demonic grimaces, with their hideous mouths, looked extremely evil, and scared the samurai and ashigaru who fled for their lives into flight.

And fear was only the beginning, and the dozen or so airships in the air painted with hideous demons finally showed their fangs. The twin water-cooled heavy machine guns behind the pod spewed flames one after another, like Satan's long whips, whipping back and forth in the Japanese rout.

More than a dozen airships chased the back of the shogunate's rout, recklessly harvesting their lives, dense bullets, overwhelmingly scattered, the Japanese samurai and ashigaru who fled for their lives on the ground, were beaten into a sieve by the rain of bullets, and pieces of Japanese samurai and ashigaru fell to the ground, and the places where the airships passed were like blood-colored roads.

The dozen or so offshore steam-deck fire support boats on the surface of the sea have stopped attacking. The Shogunate coalition forces and the complete collapse are fleeing in all directions, and the lethality of the artillery fire has been greatly reduced, so there is no need to waste shells.

After all, the purpose of the Far East advance fleet was not to destroy the Shogunate coalition forces. Instead, they were routed and rescued the remnants of the Kyushu Coalition led by the Satsuma Domain. At the moment they are still useful, and they can live for a few more months to make their final contribution to the Japanese campaign launched in the Far East.

Shimazu Tadashi and the many samurai of the Satsuma Domain and Ashigaru have long been under fire like a meteor rain of artillery just now. Shocked and dumbfounded, tens of thousands of elites of the shogunate coalition army were completely defeated in the blink of an eye, it was really terrifying.

In particular, more than a dozen Shenzhou floating in the air chased after the shogunate coalition army and wantonly attacked the rout of the shogunate coalition army on the ground, which was simply a feast of slaughter of Chiguoguo.

It was only at this time that Shimazu Tadashi realized how ignorant he was at the beginning, and thought that he was relying on the power of the Satsuma clan himself. Defeating the Tokugawa shogunate will be able to pacify the world and become another great Japanese general. In this way, there will be enough chips to cooperate with the Far East, and it will no longer be like a dog, wagging its tail at the Far East and begging for mercy as before.

It's ridiculous to think about it now, so it's better to be a loyal dog in the Far East......

Come to think of it. He hurriedly led the remnants of the Satsuma clan to defeat the generals, ran to the shore and fell to his knees. He buried his head deep in the ground and once again made the appearance of a loyal dog.

At this time, the battle on the sea has basically ended. In the distance, the sea level slowly revealed a side of sails, and a huge fleet gradually revealed its figure, slowly sailing to the sea near the coast to anchor. It was a fleet coming from Tanegashima with the second detachment of the Southern Corps on board. It includes a newly trained Death Army Brigade regiment of Death Army samurai and an overseas brigade, as well as a large number of combat logistics support units.

One by one, the assault boats were lowered to the surface of the sea, and one by one the daredevils wearing steel helmets and grimace masks climbed down from the nets that had been lowered on both sides of the ships and boarded the assault boats. Then he rushed towards the shore.

After the diesel engines of the Far East Machinery Plant were put into production, the Admiralty equipped each sail warship with two assault boats equipped with single-cylinder diesel engines, although the speed could not be compared with the assault boats of modern society, but in this era it was enough to meet the needs of warfare.

Dozens of assault boats were the first to come to the shore, and then rushed to the beach one after another, and one by one the daredevils jumped from the assault boats to the beachhead, and then took up the advantageous positions of the double-barreled shotguns to occupy each one, and half-knelt on the ground to guard the follow-up troops.

As assault boats traveled back and forth between the beach and the boats, a large number of daredevils were sent to the beachhead, and a simple beachhead defense line was established. The offshore steam deck barges on the surface of the sea sailed over one after another, leaning on both sides of the sailboat.

Simple cranes on both sides of the sailboat began to lift supplies one after another onto the steam deck barge, and then to the beachhead. Support units such as engineers, artillery, and logistics that came with the ship also began to land one after another.

The entire landing operation lasted one day and one night, and with the hard work of more than 10,000 daredevils, the construction of the landing site base, including an improvised dock, was completed.

This landing site base covers an area of nearly two square kilometers, is surrounded by a fence of barbed wire, and a number of machine-gun lookout towers assembled with steel components have been erected, and the material storage center, barracks, artillery positions, airship take-off and landing grounds, and the headquarters of the second detachment of the Southern Army Corps have all been basically completed.

The base was built for a day and a night, and the remnants of Shimazu Tadashi and the Satsuma clan were defeated, and they also knelt on the beach for a day and a night. But no one paid attention to them, and it was not until the next morning that Hu Guosheng, the commander of the second detachment, who woke up from sleep, walked out of the base with the commanders at all levels of the detachment and came to Shimazu Tadashi.

On this day and night, the samurai of Shimazu Tadashi and the Satsuma Domain were ruined. After fighting for a long time, they were already exhausted, and they were sleepy and hungry, and many people were about to be unable to hold on.

When Shimazu Tadashi saw that the Far Eastern Army was coming, he hurriedly crawled over a few steps, kowtowed, and cried.

"General, you are here, if you come a little later, our Kyushu men from Satsuma will die here...... Woohoo......"

Hu Guosheng listened to the translation of a daredevil's samurai next to him, and sneered in his heart, but he still smiled on his face and said: "You guys have been kneeling for so long, I have been busy building the base yesterday, and I didn't see you at all, and someone told me that you were here this morning, you see this is a trouble." Get up......"

Shimazu Tadashi and a group of Satsuma samurai, who were kneeling on the ground, immediately burst into tears when they heard Hu Guosheng's words. Nima ...... So many of us are kneeling here, and you actually say you don't see it, horse eyes......

But Shimazu Tadashi didn't even dare to let out a fart, he knew that the general from the Far East was beating them, but since he came to see them, it meant that they knelt for a day and a night, and it was worth it. (To be continued......)
