Chapter 833 Siege

The fierce artillery bombardment did not completely kill the defenders on the position. When the puppet army entered the range, the Fusang army began to counterattack.

At this time, Dahua's shelling has not stopped.

The Fusang people themselves don't care about the lives of their soldiers, and the Huajun certainly doesn't care about the lives of the Huaxie army.

If you are accidentally injured, you will be injured by accident, as long as you can blow up the enemy.

Moreover, the accuracy of Huajun's artillery fire has actually improved a lot. The number of hits on the enemy is far greater than the accidental injury, which is completely cost-effective.

The gunfire continued, and the Huaxie Army complained.

The same is true for the Fusang people on the ground.

After they emerged, they were directly exposed to the artillery of the Chinese army.

The artillery greatly interfered with the defense of the Fusang army. Some soldiers chose to hide temporarily, some soldiers were blocked from sight, and some soldiers were killed and injured by artillery shells.

In short, the Fusang people's defensive firepower was very weak, and the first wave of the puppet army rushed to the position.

Then, the sound of the Hua Jun's artillery stopped.

The two sides launched a hand-to-hand battle, but it was not a complete bayonet fight.

The Huaxie Army also has close-range weapons such as pistols, grenades, flamethrowers, etc., combined with the use of bayonets, to gradually advance.

They didn't fully charge and mix with the enemy, and they didn't dare to fight that kind of melee.

Among the Fusang defenders, there were some people who were quite mad and desperate. They rushed to the front of the Hua Xie army, and then started a hand-to-hand battle with bayonets.

This kind of battle is about the will to fight, and the Huaxie Army is far from being an opponent of the Fusang people.

Soon, the Huaxie Army was defeated by the opponent's momentum and began to retreat involuntarily.

At this time, the Chinese army rushed up, and fired a machine gun at the Fusang people who were retreating and rushing over.

Then, both the Huaxie Army and the Fusang Army collapsed, and they fled in the opposite direction.

The Huaxie Army was more fortunate, they were safe when they escaped to the Huajun side.

The Fusang Army will also face the pursuit of the Hua Army.

The position fell too fast, everything happened too suddenly, and the Fusang Army had no time to react.

Although they still had a second and third line of defense, as the first line of defense collapsed and retreated with panic, the Fusang army behind them also fell into panic.

A small daimyo led his more than 2,000 subordinates to raise the white flag to surrender, and there was a gap in the second line of defense.

The Hua army swarmed up, and the Fusang army in the second lane didn't fire a few shots and began to flee again.

If they do not escape, they will be left in this position.

Fuso's commander shouted hysterically not to retreat and rebuild the defense line, but unfortunately the defeated troops did not care about this.

They are not commanders, they don't know the overall situation, they only know that the Hua army rushed in front of them and they can't stop it.

As a result, there was a large-scale rout on the battlefield.

There are a lot of soldiers in the Fusang army, but not many are willing to fight to the death.

At this moment, the number has become their disadvantage.

A large number of rout made them unable to control.

Not long after the General Offensive of the Chinese Army began, the Southern Front was defeated, and more than 20,000 defeated soldiers fled to Hiroshima.

The same is true for the central front. They persisted a little longer than the south, and then they chose to retreat in the direction of Hiroshima because they were lost.

When they were halfway out of the way, they were depressed to find that the road to Hiroshima was occupied by the Chinese army.

This situation once again caused panic in the army. Some soldiers chose to surrender, some chose to take a detour, and some turned around and fled to Chiyoda.

The actions of these defeated troops, who lacked a unified command, were completely chaotic.

On the Huajun side, according to the plan, it continued to advance, compressing the enemy's range of activities, and driving the enemy to Hiroshima and Chiyoda.

If all the enemies are scattered, it will be very difficult for the Chinese army to wipe them all out.

Therefore, focusing on the enemy first is the best choice.

Two days later, the Fuso army had been divided into two pieces. About 20,000 people were trapped in Chiyoda Castle, and another 60,000 people were trapped in Hiroshima, waiting for ships to pick them up to retreat.

The retreat route on land has been blocked by the Chinese army, and they can only hope to retreat to Shikoku Island first by boat, or to retreat directly to the rear of Daban etc. by boat.

Although Dahua's navy is powerful, there is only one fleet deployed in Fusang, only a dozen ships.

It is impossible for more than a dozen ships to completely block this sea area. There are too many small ports here.

And because it is an inland sea, any small broken boat can go out to sea, and it is hard to guard against it.

The 60,000-70,000-strong army had no intention of fighting again, and just waited to retreat, a bit like Dunkirk.

The Chinese army was also divided into two parts, a small part was guarding Chiyoda's enemies, and the main force came to Hiroshima, and then bombed Hiroshima with artillery.

With 60,000 or 70,000 troops gathered in such a small area, Hua Jun didn't need to aim much, and a single shot would always kill a few people.

This ultra-distance strike made the Fusang army close to collapse.

They fought back, trying to destroy the Chinese artillery positions.

However, the defensive capabilities of the Hua Army once again made the Fusang people desperate.

They didn't even get in front of the Hua army, and they were all killed and wounded.

After rushing once, no soldier is willing to rush anymore. Even if the supervising team points a gun at that

These soldiers, those soldiers are also unwilling to move.

"General, we have nowhere to go."

Maeda Kenjiro didn't say everything, but everyone understood what he meant.

So far, the only way to survive is to surrender.

If they continued, they would all be killed by Chinese artillery shells.

Even if the Huajun launched a wave of charges now, they would collapse directly.

There is no point in continuing this unequal battle.

"Bastard, do you want to surrender?"

Dechuan Youxian said angrily.

"We don't want to surrender, but the general please show me a way out. Whether to counterattack or swim to the other side of the sea, please give an instruction instead of waiting to die here."

Another big name snorted coldly.

Now, he is not afraid to offend the shogun again.

He is far more than the only person dissatisfied with the shogunate.

"Okay, I will now order you to bring your men to counterattack and destroy the enemy's artillery."

Dechuan Youxian said in a pissed-off manner.

"Sorry, I can't command my subordinates, you can let your people go counterattack."

Kawashima Orleans fight against each other.

The artillery shells of the Chinese army were still blowing on their heads, but they were having some meaningless arguments here.

This is a major problem in a loose alliance. When the war is going well, conflicts within the alliance can still be covered up.

Once the war is unfavorable, conflicts within the alliance will break out.

Some other people who were not firm in their stance, watched this scene even more without confidence.
