Chapter 1008: Sweeping Tokyo Bay
Yokosuka is relatively simple compared to Shizuoka, because it is next to Yokohama and Edo, where the two big cities are located, and it is also the sphere of influence of great powers such as Britain and the United States. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Chinese naval fleet protected the third division to Yokosuka, did not fire a single gun, and launched a landing directly towards Yokosuka, and the Japanese troops of a company in Yokosuka saw the arrival of dozens of warships and troop carriers, and they had already fainted.
In half a day, the Huaxia Navy fleet easily landed in Yokosuka, and the entire Huaxia Navy fleet all stayed in Yokosuka, and the third division began to advance rapidly in the direction of Yokohama!
Not to mention the strength of a division, even if it is the strength of only one brigade, the Japanese Chinese People's Army can still go sideways, and all the troops in the entire Tokyo Bay together are less than 10,000 people, scattered in more than ten cities, and the largest number of troops in Edo is only about 2,000 people, and there are only a few hundred people in other places, where can such a small number of troops stop a division of the People's Army?
Gao He led the Third Division to advance quickly to the north, sweeping all the way, looting the cities along the road, and hitting directly to Yokohama.
The Japanese army in Yokohama did not dare to slack off, and had already organized the nearby army, even the samurai ronin, gathered more than 3,000 people, and defended the castle to the death, trying to use the city wall to stop the KPA attack and buy time for Edo behind.
However, when the troops in Yokohama who had temporarily assembled saw the guns of the KPA in the black hole, they were completely stunned, and nearly 100 artillery pieces stood majestically on the position, and the momentum alone was already terrifying to everyone.
Gao Yi was not polite, and with an order, almost all the artillery was put into battle, and launched a fierce attack on the city wall of Yokohama, only three waves of offensive had blown up a huge gap in the dilapidated city wall of Yokohama, and the Japanese troops on the city suffered heavy casualties, and constantly howled in despair!
"Sass give!"
The Japanese general Kuroki Song is still resisting stubbornly, but the group of people under him is one layer worse than the rabble, a team of 3,000 people, two people have a musket, and most of them are front-loading smoothbore guns, the power is very limited, and even those ronins and samurai, can only carry swords in their hands to make a strong momentum, such a team, in the face of the people's army, where can it withstand it, they are slightly stronger than the green battalion soldiers of the pre-Qing era, and even worse than the Hunan army!
After several rounds of shelling, under the cover of heavy machine guns, two infantry battalions launched a charge towards the Japanese army opposite, and the People's Army of more than 1,000 people was terrifying, and fiercely rushed towards Heng Penang, and the dense gunfire sounded like bursting beans!
If the artillery can still be barely stood by the Japanese army, the next fierce heavy machine gun fire is the last straw that crushes the Japanese army's will to fight, the dense heavy machine gun fire is seven or eight hundred meters away from the Japanese army to launch a direct attack, such a distance on the city wall, can punch a piece of bullet holes, in contrast, the Japanese rifle fire can not threaten the opponent in the distance at all!
Yes......
Under the pressure of a huge threat to life, the will of the Japanese army collapsed, and this is not something that can be saved by will alone, not to mention 3,000, even if 30,000 people are under the fierce artillery and heavy machine gun fire, they will still collapse, it is only a matter of time!
The Japanese army in the city began to flee frantically, Kuroki Song tried his best to prepare to restrain the chaos of the Japanese army, but it was all to no avail, the Japanese army with a broken will, especially those ronin samurai, had no military training, and was very free and loose, a contact, it collapsed, where can it be restrained?
Not only could it not be restrained, but the ronin and the samurai rampage like headless flies disrupted the originally neat Japanese army, and the Japanese army was completely confused, and the defense line completely collapsed!
The distance of two miles, for the charging People's Army, that is, four or five minutes, the Japanese army chaos gave them the best opportunity to charge, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the city, and with a bang, two infantry battalions climbed to the head of Yokohama, killing the Japanese army on their backs, and together with Kuroki Song, they were beaten into a sieve and died!
In less than three hours, the People's Army took the entire Yokohama Castle, Gao He and Zhang Hexiang rode into Yokohama Castle on a tall horse, it was so easy, almost effortless, even when the army was beaten back then, it was not as easy as it is now!
"Second Gao, we have taken Yokohama City, what should we do next?"
Zhang Hexiang asked.
Gao Yi pursed his lips and replied, "Then you still need to say?" Keep fighting, give you a brigade of troops, go take Kawasaki for me, after I finish cleaning up Yokohama, I will lead the main force straight to Edo, we will sweep all the Japanese cities, plow the court and sweep the holes! Didn't the eldest brother say it? Rob people, specially, rob 60,000 people! We must grab enough, only more, not less! ”
"Second Gao, isn't it a bit too much for us to do this?"
Zhang Hexiang smiled bitterly, "Why are these civilians innocent? ”
Gao He scolded: "Bastard! Lao Zhang, this is His Majesty's will, do you dare to question it? Lao Tzu cut you! ”
Zhang Hexiang shook his head with a wry smile and replied, "Of course! Your Majesty's order, who dares to question it, I just feel strange in my heart, I heard that now that the West has begun to legislate to prohibit the slave trade, wouldn't it be ...... for us to do this?"
"Where did you get so much nonsense! If you want to catch it, you will catch it! Westerners? His grandmother's, they can control us to do things? Don't forget, how the Japanese dealt with us! The so-called blood for blood, tooth for tooth, it's time for them to pay their debts! ”
Gao He said ruthlessly, he is the same as his eldest brother Gao Qi, he has a hot temper, is brave and ruthless, he is a well-known war maniac, and his favorite thing is to fight!
"Okay, in that case, then you will grab money and people in Yokohama, and I will fight Kawasaki, and then we will attack Edo together!"
Zhang Hexiang gritted his teeth and said, Zhang Hexiang had studied in a private school for several years in the past, and had taken the Tongsheng examination, and the influence of traditional Confucianism made him think that there was a dry heaven and harmony in doing so, but who would dare to disobey His Majesty's order? Let's grab it first!
Zhang Hexiang took a brigade of troops and continued to advance towards Kawasaki, while Gao He began to loot in Yokohama, as long as it was silver, then grab it, the foreigners' shops were not robbed, the Chinese shops were not robbed, only the Japanese industry was robbed, and if they saw the young and strong, they would be robbed back first and imprisoned on the spot!
In less than three days, Gao Yi looted almost the entire city of Yokohama, and arrested six or seven thousand young and strong laborers alone!
