Text Chapter 303 The shogunate abandoned by the times
In this era, the Tokugawa Shogunate could not be said to be backward. The iron cannons they made were no less than European front-mounted muskets. The artillery they made was not as powerful as the red cannons of the Qing Dynasty. They were not powerful, but applicable and portable. The combat effectiveness of the army was even stronger than that of some third-rate European countries. However, in this battle, they were crushed to an end. Not long after the battle began, the artillery troops of the shogunate were bombed.
The power of the mortar is a little worse, but even if the quality is not enough, it will make up the energy. Mortar shells are simple to manufacture and not very heavy, and the mortar fires far more than artillery. In order to ensure the first contribution, Beichenshi and the assaulters fire at the same time. The 6omm mortar shells are also very effective against the artillery mounts. The artillery soldiers of the shogunate pushed the artillery a thousand meters away from the city wall. Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a fire light appeared in front of them, and then they lost consciousness.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
This is the power of the thirty mortars on the north wall of the extra-staff legion. One thousand meters did not exceed their range, after all, they were all improved models in the later stage. With precise strikes, in one minute, dozens of shogunate artillery here were hit by a total of 300 shells. It was not that the mortar fire could not be achieved, but because 300 mortar shells were enough. All shogunate artillery lost their combat power, and the cannon barrels above the twelve pound level were not damaged, and the gun mounts were all destroyed.
This is not possible. They can't let people carry the cannons to shoot at the city wall. Not to mention whether they can carry it, the recoil of the front-mounted cannons is not something that human flesh and blood cannons can withstand. With one shot, all those carrying the cannon barrels will die. The remaining small cannons are even damaged and cannot continue to be used. The shogunate army was so scared by this scene that they stopped on the spot. More than 3,000 iron cannons were standing there blankly, not knowing what to do.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
The Japanese army's habit of not allowing failure was at this time. The samurai who was in charge of combat command did not dare to order the soldiers to retreat like this. Their tactics were to siege all over the world, use the advantage of the number of people to disperse the firepower of the Xinghanhui soldiers, then break through their defense line in one fell swoop, and then take down Aikawa Castle. The head of the Tokugawa Shogunate didn't care how many iron cannons were sacrificed, he just wanted to get the result. If Beichen and the others were not there, the Xinghanhui would really not be able to withstand this tactic.
They have no automatic vitality, only four thousand, and they are not elites in a hundred battles. One thousand people have not even experienced a single battle. If they want to carry the impact of several times the enemy, and the Japanese iron cannons are not bad, at most, Aikawa Castle will definitely break. However, Beichen and others are there, this tactic has become a double-edged sword for those who hurt themselves. The warriors dare not let people retreat, and the iron cannon football players can only continue to move forward under their repeated urging.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
However, they all became extremely cautious and no longer crowded together. If they were bombarded like artillery, they would not be able to leave a whole body like artillery, and it would be considered good to find most of their bodies. However, they did not know that Beichensi and others were not wasting mortar shells on them. No matter how cheap the shells were, they would be much more expensive than bullets. The rifles and light and heavy machine guns in their hands were enough to eat these more than 3,000 people. If the artillery took action, most of the credit would be taken away.
The mortar team didn't care. Anyway, they knocked off the enemy's artillery, so they made contributions this time. They didn't let them move, and they were still happy to be idle. Beichenshi has been choosing their own goals. With the knowledge inherited from their father, Beichenshi can clearly find his target among more than 3,000 enemies. All warriors have unique styles of armor, which is what Beichenshi relies on finding targets. In order to overcome their fear, most of the warriors took the lead in charge in front of them. The iron cannon football players also began to speed up and quickly rushed to their range.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
As soon as the iron cannon was raised and the gunpowder and bullets were loaded, the firearms were fired on the city walls. The beeping sound of machine guns and the crackling sounds of rifles alternately. Beichensi put a samurai with the most gorgeous armor into the scope. With a gunshot, the warrior covered his chest and fell down his war horse. Hearing the gunshot of Beichensi, the entire warrior fired. They had no pity for these people of the same tribe, and they had no discomfort in their feelings when they killed them.
At this time, the soldiers of the First Brigade of the Non-Secretary Legion who turned into ferocious beasts were thinking about these people. The more they killed, the more rewards they received from the kingdom, and they could enjoy a better life. The iron cannon foot was loading, and at this time they had no strength to resist. After being hit like this, they were really full of corpses. Especially when the machine gun fire tongue swept over, the iron cannon foot was turned into two halves.
The bloody battlefield caused the morale of the Iron Cannon Football Team to decline again and again. The large number of deaths of warriors not only added military achievements to the snipers, but also made the shogunate troops unable to stop their morale decline. Some of the Iron Cannon Football Team are elite veterans who have been fighting for many years, but more of them are militias trained. Slowly, the Iron Cannon Football Team began to flee. Beichensi and the others were still loading, aiming and shooting, and the enemies fell under their bullets.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
The leather armor on the body of the Iron Cannon Football Light was like not wearing it when facing the shooting of Yanhuang rifles and the more powerful light and heavy machine guns. Maybe it would be better if it wasn't worn. A piece of leather armor was several pounds. Without this piece of leather armor, their movements were more flexible. When the casualties reached 40%, the shogunate army attacking the northern city wall began to be defeated. Beichensi and others did not intend to go out to chase, and shooting was also a physical job, and aiming was also very energy-consuming. Seeing that the enemy had withdrawn from the effective range, they all chose to relax and rest.
However, the reserve team that had not been on the previous side had already left here early and went to the east and south for support. The soldiers of the Xinghan Association resisted very fiercely, but the shortcomings of lack of automatic firepower could not be changed. Without the suppression of machine guns, Hall m1819 could not stop the iron cannons from entering the range and loading fire. The iron cannon bullets hit the city wall, causing casualties in the first wave. More than a dozen soldiers who had no time to squat were injured and lost their combat effectiveness, and were carried down by medical soldiers.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
