The devastating shelling caused unimaginable damage to the "Martyred Army". After half an hour of shelling, the entire Hiroshima Taipei Military Camp was razed to the ground, and more than 8,000 officers and soldiers in the camp were killed.
Since they were injured, the remaining people were able to escape and run away.
Thanks to the efforts of the Ming Marine Corps, armed sailors, Japanese naval artillery soldiers, and remaining soldiers, the resistance in Hiroshima was weaker than imagined. It seems that even the Japanese themselves did not think that they would conflict with the Ming Navy.
, they only have less than a thousand soldiers and a few hundred policemen in the city.
Such a lineup does not even require the dispatch of armed sailors at all. The Marine Corps alone is enough to crush them. After landing, only two Gatling machine guns knocked down the "martyrdom army" to the ground as if they were sweeping the ground.
, and then the Marines charged, and the little remaining resistance was collapsed.
Of course, they also encountered stubborn resistance. Facing the Japanese soldiers who relied on buildings to resist, the Marines directly fired their 88mm field guns at the buildings, and the rest was naturally a bayonet charge.
This was the tone set by Emperor Zhu Da at that time - war should be fought with thunderbolts, everything should be fought with firepower, and if it can be solved with artillery shells, do not use people.
After all, people in the Ming Dynasty are precious.
People in the Ming Dynasty are precious, but Japanese lives are worthless. When encountering a tough problem, the Japanese sailors will naturally come to the rescue. Of course, the Marine Corps will also provide some support. After a few rounds of firepower, the thick bricks of the Hiroshima Prefecture Governor's Office where they are stationed
The wall was blown open.

After the wall was blasted open, the Japanese sailors immediately rushed up with Schneider rifles, shouting, but they only rushed a few dozen meters, and the bullets fired from the windows and other places knocked down the Japanese sailors who were swarming up.
escape.
Sun Mingyue, the Marine Corps First Battalion Commander, frowned as he watched the Japanese sailors flee in a hurry after abandoning dozens of corpses.
"What a bunch of unsatisfactory things. Inform the artillery to try firing a few more shots!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cannon roared again. The 12-kilogram shell easily tore the fastened brick wall into pieces. The martyred soldiers behind the wall were either buried by the bricks or blown into pieces with the explosion.
The time wall collapsed and the beams in the Governor's Hall were filled with screams.
Facing the powerful firepower, Maehara Issei looked at everyone with a desperate look, first sighed, and then said.
"Gentlemen, it seems that the big thing we are waiting for is just a dream after all!"
Facing more than a dozen subordinates, Issei Maehara, a fallen patriot known as the "Top Ten Heroes of the Restoration" and a former Daisuke of the Ministry of War, relied on his personal prestige after the Hiroshima Uprising and was elected as the leader by the uprising. It was he who
He created this "Army of Martyrdom," and from rebels to high-ranking government officials to rebel leaders, the reform government has done all kinds of unpopular things. Just look at him and you will know.
"Well, this matter is over. The warships of the Ming Dynasty bombarded the barracks at sea. The soldiers were either dead or scattered. I'm afraid there is no way to recover. You don't have to follow me and make fearless sacrifices. No matter what happens,
, I at least tried hard..."
"Your Mightiness……"
Okuhira Kensuke, Ogura Shinichi and others all stood up and said.
"Your Excellency, as long as you are alive, you still have a chance. Please break out of the encirclement immediately. After you break through, you can reconvene the patriots and make a decision!"
Facing the persuasion from his subordinates, Issei Maehara shook his head and said.
"This is not important now. What is important is the lives of the soldiers who died in the national army!"
He pursed his lips, looked at Okuhira Kensuke, Ogura Shinichi and others, and said.
"General Shen and I have met several times. If we surrender to the government, we will definitely be punished as treason and beheaded. But if we surrender to General Shen..."
After thinking about it, Issei Maehara sighed.
"At least we can find a way out for everyone!"
In fact, in the past ten days, it was under the restraint of Issei Maehara that the original group of rabble-rousers could be organized into an army. Of course, before that, he had already begun to gather dissatisfied nobles to prepare for a rebellion. After the Battle of Hiroshima,
Chaos, but it just happened to happen.
Soon, a white flag was flown out. When surrendering, Maehara Issei had only two conditions - surrender to the Ming Empire Navy instead of surrendering to Kawamura Junyoshi, the navy chief auxiliary, and guarantee their personal lives.
Safety.
Of course, Sun Mingyue would not refuse this. With the surrender of Issei Maehara, the Hiroshima rebellion subsided on New Year's Eve. Then Issei Maehara and other martyrdom army cadres were brought into the carriage. On the way to the port, they saw the road.
When dozens of martyred soldiers nearby were ordered to kneel in a row and then beheaded one by one, he immediately asked angrily.
"Sir, why do you want to break your previous promise?"
"promise?"
Sun Mingyue glanced at the corpse on the roadside and answered directly.
"They are thieves who are besieging the Ming Dynasty's sailors, and they are not people who surrendered with you. Since they dare to offend the Ming Dynasty, they can only atone for their sins with death!"
When the voice fell, the sailors holding swords on the roadside chopped off the heads of those people with one blow. The ones kneeling were samurai, the swords were samurai swords, and the ones holding the swords were the sailors of the Ming Dynasty.
"These thieves really deserve to be killed!"
Maehara Issei's tone was full of reluctance. If these people hadn't caused rebellion and caused the Ming Dynasty to intervene, as long as there was only one more month, when his martyrdom army was completed, he would have fallen into this situation.
Of course such people deserve to die! Even when he first learned about this, he considered using the heads of these people to appease Ming's anger.
It's just a little late...
Is this God's will?
Once again boarding the deck of the battleship "Nanhua", Maehara Issei, a prisoner, immediately bowed deeply when facing Shen Yaozu.
"Your Excellency, General, I have caused trouble to you. Please believe that the siege of the Ming Dynasty navy was only done by a small number of rebel soldiers and was definitely not our order."
Faced with the apology expressed by Issei Maehara, Shen Yaozu waved his hand and said directly.
"Okay, Maehara-kun, there is no point in saying this now. Please rest assured that you and your subordinates are now prisoners of the Ming Dynasty. We will be responsible for your safety."
These are more than three thousand noble warriors!
They are definitely the best labor force, no, they should be said to be the best security guards. Africa needs such talents most. He, Lao Shen, also invested in plantations in the Congo colony, so of course he knows about such talents.
for colonial purposes.
cannon fodder!
Not everyone is a qualified cannon fodder, but Japanese samurai are definitely the best cannon fodder!
Is this cannon fodder handed over to the Japanese government?
