Chapter 1338 Laissez-faire
"Sigo Kwan? What should we do now? So many people were sacrificed in one attack. Can we really capture this military camp?" Yokoi Konan frowned tightly. Now he also found that the Chinese Army's defense was too strong. It seemed very difficult to rely on these untrained Japanese people to eliminate the Chinese Army garrisoned here!
"Kun Yokoi, we can only try again. The Chinese military camp is like a nail nailed to Sendai, and it must be pulled out. Otherwise, once the Chinese counterattack, we will face internal and external attacks!" Saigo Takamori said. Sendai has become the center of the Japanese uprising. If this Chinese military camp is not pulled out, their safety will undoubtedly be affected.
"Okay, Saigo Kwan, then you can do it. I don't know anything about military affairs, but we will give you the greatest help!" Yokoi Konan said. He also knew that capturing this military camp was their first battle. If they couldn't fight, it would undoubtedly have a great impact on the morale of the troops.
"Yes, Yokoi Kan!" Saigo Takaho nodded.
Yokoi Konan left with Omura Ejiro, Okupo Rito and others, and now Sendai has fallen under their control. They have to continue to mobilize the Japanese people to join them. At the same time, they have to contact the insurers from all over Japan and act together. In this way, the chance of success will undoubtedly be much greater. In addition to the few of them, Takayun Kido and Matsuin Yoshida have launched insurrections in other places.
After Yokoi Konan left, Takamori Saigo once again attacked the position of the 2nd Battalion of the 74th Infantry Brigade of the Imperial Army. Under the scolding of the Japanese security forces, and under the leadership of countless fearless ronin, these Japanese attacked again. They howled like wild wolves and attacked the positions of the Imperial Army. However, what was greeted was the rain of bullets from the Imperial Army. The dense bullets knocked these Japanese to the ground, and the shock wave formed by the bomb explosion tore the Japanese to pieces.
"Boom! Boom! Da da da da da da da da da da! Bang! Bang!" The sounds of mortars, light and heavy machine guns and rifles keep firing and firing mixed together, forming a symphony. The entire battlefield soon became a Shura hell. The Japanese launched an attack without fear of death, but they ultimately paid their own lives. In the face of the complete fortifications of the Imperial Army, the Japanese attack was no different from suicide.
Takamoto Saigo discovered that the frontal defense of the Chinese Army was very strong, and even if he suffered heavy casualties, he could not break through. As a last resort, he had to choose to attack from the side. However, no matter which side was launched, it had no effect. Except for the side of Linhe, the 2nd Battalion of the 74th Brigade of the Imperial Army arranged an infantry company to defend. Although an infantry company had only 150 people, it seemed a bit insignificant to face tens of thousands of Japanese. However, they used their excellent weapons to give these Japanese a headache.
The defense line of the Imperial Army was like the reefs by the sea, allowing these Japanese people to attack by the waves. However, every time the waves hit and smashed the reefs, causing no damage to the reefs.
As the casualties grew, the morale of the Japanese continued to decline. Takamoto Saigo looked very ugly. The attack that seemed to be almost certain was like this. They suffered huge casualties and hit their heads in front of the Imperial Army, but there was no effect. As a last resort, Takamoto Saigo had to give up the attack, and he planned to change his method.
Takamori Saigo ordered the besiege of this military camp and cut off the external connection between the military camp until the ammunition and food were exhausted. Of course, he didn't know how long this military camp could last. In fact, there was sufficient food, weapons and ammunition in these military camps of the Imperial Army. There was no problem with the water source. They had built a well on their own. Not to mention the siege of a few months, even a year or two. Of course, if the Japanese rebellion was not extinguished a year later, the military camp would definitely not be able to hold on.
But will the Japanese rebellion last for so long? It is obviously impossible. The Imperial Army is ready. As long as the Japanese rebellion begins, the Imperial Army will immediately suppress it. Although the Japanese are making a big fuss, the scene seems to be very large. But in fact, this is just a superficial phenomenon. Once the Imperial Army suppression, these Japanese will collapse.
Even if the Japanese rebellion is more tenacious and can last longer, the Imperial Army can organize elite troops to get out of the encircled circle.
On the day of the rebellion in Sendai, similar rebellions broke out in hundreds of places across Japan. Countless security troops and police acted as backbone, while the Imperial Army took a defensive position in the early stages of the Japanese rebellion. Therefore, it was as if the entire Japan had changed in this day.
Edo and Kyoto are both places that the Imperial Army is focusing on defense. There were also rebellions in these two places, but the scale was not large and they were suppressed that day. However, this also made the other cities, except for Edo and Kyoto, who were still under the control of the Imperial Army, seem to have fallen under the control of the Japanese. This made the Japanese people who respected the king and expelled the barbarians too optimistic about the situation.
After the rebellion, the safety of many Chinese people in Japan was affected. Although at the beginning of the rebellion, these Chinese people immediately noticed the troops and went to the military camps of the Empire stationed in Japan to take refuge. However, many people were still killed by these Japanese rebels in extremely cruel ways. Of course, these killed Chinese people were not good people. They relied on their own as Chinese people, Japan was a powerful man and bullied those Japanese. So much so that they even lost their lives now.
In fact, most of the Chinese in Japan go to the red-light districts in Japan to consume or engage in many shameful industries. If these people die, they will not have any impact on the empire, but instead purify the society. Of course, it shows that the empire will definitely pay a heavy price for these Chinese people to be killed. Even if they are criminals of the empire, they must be dealt with by the empire. These Japanese people do not have any all their efforts to kill the empire.
Less than half an hour after the Sendai Incident broke out, the Governor's Office in Japan received news.
"Sendai is already in chaos, and it is estimated that other Japanese cities will soon follow suit. Should we take action now?" Major General Chen Ziqing, the governor of the Imperial Army and commander of the 15th Infantry Army of the Imperial Army, said excitedly. Although Japan is in chaos, it will not be of any benefit to him. However, if the rebellion can be suppressed quickly, it will be a great achievement! Now is a peaceful era, and military merit is difficult to earn. Although suppressing the Japanese rebellion is nothing, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, it is still meat!
"Don't be busy, let the military camps in various places strengthen their defenses. Ensure that Kyoto and Edo are under our control. As for other cities, if they are in chaos, let's get messy! After all the Japanese jump out, we will catch them all in one go. This is better than hiding them in the dark! Not to mention anything else, the empire is now carrying out large-scale infrastructure construction and requires a lot of labor. Since these Japanese are restless, they will send them all to the construction site!" A trace of sinister flashed across the face of Brigadier General Niu Zhiyang.
"Okay, this idea is good. The empire's infrastructure construction and mines require a lot of workers. These Japanese are the best laborers!" Major General Chen Ziqing laughed.
There are indeed too many Japanese people, although they are only one-twentieth of the total population of the empire. However, how big is the territory of the empire? It is really difficult for the Japanese to squeeze so many people on these small islands. Although the Japanese are a little short and not very strong, they are also very good laborers after being domesticated. It would be a pity not to use them on construction sites and mines.
It was precisely because of the non-interference actions taken by the Imperial Governor's Office and the Military Intelligence Bureau that the scale of Japan's rebellion became larger and larger, and it swept across Japan in just two or three days, so that the entire Japan was in turmoil.
Japan was in chaos, and it made Jiro Onodera, Keiki Mori, Shimazu Kiyoshi, Toyoto Yamauchi, Shigeshima and others like ants on a hot pan. It would be of no benefit to them in such chaos! Although the rebellion is so big now, it is impossible to overthrow the Chinese rule. Once the Chinese suppress it, these Japanese people will not be able to make trouble! At that time, they will inevitably be killed and blood flowed into a river.
"Damn it, if we had known we wouldn't have allowed the development of the king and the exorcist faction. In that case, there would be no chaos now!" Onodeji Jiro's face was as gloomy as if water could drip out.
"It's all in chaos, and the whole of Japan is in chaos! What should I do now!" Maori Keiki was also a little panicked because a large number of security officers and soldiers appeared among the rebels. Once the rebellion was quelled, the commanders of the security officers would definitely not be able to take it. Once the Chinese pursued them, they would not be able to escape!
"Why didn't the Chinese suppress? They have two regular infantry troops, with more than 70,000 people! If they were to be dispatched, the rebellion would be destroyed soon!" Shimazu Kiyoshi was a little confused. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
