In the afternoon, Wu Haoxuan and his party had already climbed halfway up the mountain. Although Wu Haoxuan has been the emperor for so many years, he has not let go of his usual exercises, and climbing the mountain is nothing to him. After climbing halfway up Mt. Fuji, my face was still red and I couldn't breathe.

However, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang and Yuan Jing have to rely on people to carry them. The two of them are already older. In the beginning, I was able to hold on. But as they climbed higher and higher, they had no choice. This also made the two of them very scared. In comparison, His Majesty the Emperor is still climbing the mountain by himself, and the two of them need to be carried by someone, which is really rude.

The rest of the soldiers, one by one, did not change. For them, climbing such a mountain is nothing at all. However, Masako Xiyuanji, a little girl, looks out of breath and sweaty.

"Marshal, how long is it until the top of the mountain?" Wu Haoxuan asked.

"Your Majesty, if you climb to the top of the mountain, it will take about three or four hours. There are two shrines at the top of the mountain, called Kusushi Shrine and Asama Shrine, and we will rest at these two shrines tonight and descend tomorrow morning. Marshal Shi Deshan said. In order to ensure safety, he had ordered a company of the 1st Reconnaissance Brigade of the 1st Army to go up to Mt. Fuji in advance and set up a defense on the top of the mountain.

Wu Haoxuan nodded: "Let's rest for half an hour first." After that, go up the hill again. Before dark, you should have no problem going up the mountain. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Marshal Shi Deshan nodded.

Wu Haoxuan and the others began to rest, but the surrounding guards and the officers and soldiers of the Governor's Mansion Guards were scattered around to guard. Some snipers even seized the commanding heights and set up sniper rifles to ensure that no dangerous elements approached and launched an attack.

"Masako, are you tired? Otherwise, someone will carry you up. Wu Haoxuan said. He has always been very considerate of his own women.

"No, Your Majesty. I'm not an old man like my grandfather. Masako Saionji shook her head. However, Wu Haoxuan's concern for her still made her very happy. She felt that between her and Wu Haoxuan, it was no longer the kind of simple physical venting, but slowly developed a trace of feelings, which made her very relieved and happy.

While Wu Haoxuan and the others were resting, in the mountains and forests, some people covered with leaves and weeds were secretly approaching Wu Haoxuan's place. However, they were unable to get close because of the defensive line formed by the soldiers of the Governor's Palace.

"Ninomiya-kun, the people of China are very alert! We are so far away from them that even with mortars, we can't reach them at all! Kujiro Nomura said with a frown. Their only heavy firepower is a 60mm mortar. However, this is a mortar built by the Japanese Army itself, and the maximum range is only two kilometers. And at this distance, there is no accuracy at all. It would be better to be able to shorten it to a kilometer before starting the shelling, in which case the hit rate would be much higher.

"If the one who came to Mt. Fuji was really the emperor of the Shina people. Then, those guards are definitely the elite selected from the elite troops of the Zhina. It is simply impossible to get close to them silently and odorlessly. Jishige Ninomiya said.

"So what are we going to do? Do you want to rush hard? Nomura Kujiro's face was a little ugly. Now, they have finally gathered more than 300 people, and if they rush hard, it is estimated that they will almost die before they reach the edge.

"I'm afraid there's no other way than to rush hard. Nomura-kun, now we can only make a desperate bet. A hint of determination flashed in Ninomiya's eyes. He belongs to the kind of people who are poisoned by the spirit of bushido, and loyalty to the emperor is his belief in victory. The Chinese killed the emperor, and that was his enemy. If he could kill the Chinese emperor to avenge the emperor, even if it cost him a lot, he would not frown.

"Otherwise, we will lay an ambush here and wait until tomorrow when the people of China come down the mountain to command. In that case, the chances of success are even greater. Kujiro Nomura suggested.

"Nomura-kun, that's impossible. According to the information we have received, the Chinese have deployed heavy troops at the foot of the mountain and on the top of the mountain. Tomorrow when they descend the mountain, the troops on the top of the mountain will also follow them down. When the time comes, if we want to assassinate the emperor of China, it will be even more impossible. Now, it's the best chance, and if we miss it, we won't have it again. Jishige Ninomiya said.

"Let the mortars open fire, attract the attention of the Chinese people, and then we will lead the men to launch a fierce attack from the other direction. Although the guards of the Shina were elite, they did not seem to be numerous. As long as we can take advantage of the chaos to rush in and kill the Emperor of China, it is not impossible. Jishige Ninomiya said.

It seemed that Kujiro Nomura had no other way, so he had to agree to the plan of Jishige Ninomiya.

"Let's start preparing, the people of China won't stay there for long." Jishige Ninomiya commanded.

These Japanese resistors, on the one hand, began to set up mortars, and on the other hand, shuttled through the mountains and forests, trying to get close to Wu Haoxuan and others from another direction. These Japanese troops who survived the repeated encirclement and suppression of the Chinese * army were all elites. At the same time, he is also a very strong-willed person. Once they have set a goal, they will try their best to accomplish it. Killing the Chinese emperor and avenging the death of the Taisho Emperor has undoubtedly become their goal.

A few minutes later, the mortars of the Japanese resistance opened fire. A 60-millimeter artillery shell whistled towards Wu Haoxuan's location. It's just that because the distance was too far and the accuracy was very poor, this shell exploded more than 200 meters away from Wu Haoxuan and them.

"Boom!" The sound of explosions suddenly rose, and the flames rose in the mountains and forests.

"Shelling? How can there be shelling? Wu Haoxuan's face changed suddenly. Although he said that he did not care about the assassination of the Japanese resistance. However, that was confidence in the Imperial * army. I believe that under the protection of the Praetorian Guards and the elite of the army, those resistance elements will not be able to hurt him at all. But now those guys are even using mortars, and this is no joke. Even if Wu Haoxuan was the emperor, if a mortar exploded next to him, he would also be able to blow him up.

Marshal Shi Deshan, General Cai Songpo, Major General Li Zhenwu and others suddenly turned pale.

"Guards, fight back! Suppress enemy mortars. Others held their posts and formed a line of defense against the onslaught of the resistors. Immediately contact the troops at the foot of the mountain and at the top of the mountain, we were attacked by the resistance elements, and they came to our aid. Marshal Shi Deshan immediately gave the order. However, whether it is coming down from the top of the mountain or coming up from the bottom of the mountain, it is impossible to do it without an hour or two.

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang and the others were also frightened and turned pale one by one. Mount Fuji is already the last stop of Wu Haoxuan's trip to Japan. I see that this trip to Japan is coming to a successful end. But at this juncture, those resistance elements came out again, and they also used mortars to attack His Majesty, isn't this looking for death? If they don't do it well, it will make His Majesty the Emperor's impression of them worse. In this case, wouldn't their previous efforts be in vain?

"Those damn guys, why don't they die!" Saionji Gongwang and others cursed the resistors, even though the resistors were all Japanese, just like them.

Masako Xiyuanji was scared like a frightened rabbit, and Wu Haoxuan hurriedly held her in his arms.

Wu Haoxuan's guards had already surrounded and protected Wu Haoxuan in the middle. They are Wu Haoxuan's most loyal soldiers, and when they encounter danger, even if they act as a human wall and block bullets for Wu Haoxuan, there is no problem.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! "Shots rang out, and the resistance began to attack.

However, they were soon attacked by the Empire's snipers. The snipers used professional sniper rifles, which were able to accurately hit the Japanese resistance at a long distance. When those resisters kept approaching Wu Haoxuan and them, they were all headshots.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The mortars of the Japanese resistance are still firing aimlessly. And on the side of the Governor's Palace Guard, two mortars were also set up, preparing to suppress them. It's just that calculating the trajectory in the mountains and forests is very complicated, and the cannon hasn't really been fired yet.

"Warriors, rush! The emperor of the Shina people was in front, killing the emperor of Shina to avenge His Majesty the Emperor. Kill the Emperor of China, and the Great Japanese Empire will be saved. "Osashige Ninomiya kept agitating the resistors to attack.

It's just that the attacks of those who resist are doomed to fail. Snipers from the Imperial Janissaries and the Governor's Palace were shooting at them from a high position in the trees. Every resistance that emerges will be killed. And, most of them were one-shot headshots.

In front of the powerful sniper rifle, the human head looks so fragile, after being hit by a bullet, it is like a watermelon, it bursts all at once, red and white, sprinkled everywhere, it looks so bloody.

"Boom! Rumble! "The mortars on the side of the Governor's Palace Guard also opened fire and began to suppress the mortars of the Japanese resistance. After two rounds of test firing, the mortar shells landed accurately on the mortars of the Japanese resistance, not only blowing up the mortars, but also killing the resistance elements who operated the mortars.
