"Run!" Suddenly, there were screams of terror on the beach, and then the Japanese policemen lying behind the sand piles turned around one after another. After all, they are just policemen, and there is an essential gap between them and the regular army. Zhenya, look at Ryukyu.
People's resistance is okay, but when faced with cannons, they are completely scum.
"Stick to your post!" The lone Governor of Nara shouted on the beach, waving his samurai sword.
But at this moment, the twelve 76mm naval guns from the top of the tower sprayed out flames at the same time. These cannons with a firing rate of more than 20 rounds per minute turned the entire beach into a hell in an instant. Those without cover
The Japanese police officers were shattered one by one in the dense explosions, their limbs and broken arms flying all over the sky, and their blood staining the beautiful white sand red.
Now Governor Nara's words are even more regarded as farts. Almost all Japanese police have begun to collapse. There is no hope in the confrontation between rifles and cannons. The confrontation between manpower and ironclads is also something only fools would do. Don't talk about them.
, even the armed civilians who had not been hit by the shells collapsed.
"Baga, you cowards!" Governor Nara brandished his samurai sword and let out a desperate roar. Then he pulled out his pistol and vented his anger on the battleship not far away. The lead bullet was immediately deflected by the thick steel plate.
Without a trace.
A turret was turning towards him. Maybe he felt that this guy was more interesting, so he kindly raised the muzzle again.
Amidst the whistling sound of shells passing overhead, the Governor of Nara, who heroically fired a nest of bullets, bent down and was about to reload, but at this time, his mouth widened in shock, because the bows of the three ironclad ships suddenly opened at the same time.
Then a springboard slowly stretched out from inside, and a soldier holding a rifle poked his head out.
Yang Feng's landing ship is similar to the American LST. Of course, it does not need to transport tanks, so the structure is greatly simplified and the power system is many times more powerful. In addition, because of the limited technology of Armstrong Shipyard at this time, there are many difficult parts to manufacture internally.
A large amount of wood is also used, so it can reach a high speed of 20 knots. The bow of the ship is the same round shape. There is a large hatch that can be opened to one side on the upper part, and a wooden springboard can be extended from inside. When washing the beach with a displacement of more than 2,000 tons,
, the bow draft can reach less than one meter, and coupled with the nearly 20-meter-long springboard, the soldiers can basically rush directly to the beach. This scene was perfectly staged in front of the Nara Governor today.
Under his dumbfounded gaze, the four-meter-wide springboard slowly stretched out and reached the beach nearly twenty meters away. Heavily armed soldiers swarmed out of the cabin and rushed onto the beach like three green water dragons.
Then they dispersed and raised their rifles and started shooting at the fleeing Japanese. A rough-looking officer walked up to the stunned Nara Governor with two pistols, spat rudely, and waved his pistol.
, the two soldiers behind quickly moved forward.
Only then did Governor Nara react.
"Baga!" As soon as he raised his hand, the gun in the officer's hand rang out, and a shot hit his Colt revolver. With a whoosh, the revolver flew away. The Governor of Nara did not hesitate to pull out his ancestral sword and shouted.
He raised it high above his head and aimed it at the officer and slashed him in the head. Then the officer raised his hand and fired another shot. The Governor of Nara's hand was shaken. When the knife fell again, half of it was left. Then the officer's other gun butt hit him hard on the head.
On the beach, the famous kendo master fell like a dead dog on the beach.
Two thousand soldiers quickly rushed to the beach. At this time, the Nara Governor's 3,000 troops had already herded sheep, including hundreds of dead sheep. The beach was covered with corpses, and there were countless Japanese fleeing in front of them.
Running wildly, they continued to create corpses in the flames of exploding shells. Those who had guns in their hands were lucky enough to have one or two who turned around to shoot. Those armed civilians were so quick that they almost ran to Shuri Castle.
At the same time, the 76 guns on the landing ship were also firing continuously, cooperating with the pursuing infantry to clean up the remaining Japanese, while another part of the infantry quickly controlled the port, and then the Nautilus, which was watching the battle from a distance, drove up from behind the fleet and slowly
Docked at Naha Port.
Wearing his classic SS fur coat and carrying an eagle-headed scepter in his hand, Big Boss Yang walked down the gangway arrogantly surrounded by a large number of bodyguards. The Ryukyu guide next to him followed him hunched like a dog.
On the side, just at this moment, two soldiers escorted the Governor of Nara over.
Gouzizi's eyes immediately lit up.
"Master Yang, this is the governor of Okinawa sent by the Japanese." He hurriedly came to Yang Feng's side and said.
"Fake officials are not worth mentioning." Boss Yang glanced at Governor Nara arrogantly, and then stretched out his hand behind him. The mute black slave who understood his intentions very well quickly handed over a pistol, which he handed to the guide next to him.
Said: "Rectify the Fa on the spot."
"Ah?" The guide was stunned for a moment.
"Why, you don't dare? Or do you have any friendship with this fake official?" Yang Feng said with a glare.
The guide looked at the pistol with a sad expression, gritted his teeth and took it from Yang Feng's hand, then grabbed the Nara Governor's hair and kicked him in the crook of the knee.
The poor Nara governor fell to his knees and was shot in the head.
"This gun is for you." Boss Yang nodded with satisfaction, without even looking at the corpse on the ground with his hands behind his back, and then walked towards Shuri Castle. At this time, the forwards of the landing force had already killed the remaining Japanese troops.
They rushed in, leaving more than a thousand Japanese corpses along the way. However, because they did not receive an order to attack the city, the naval guns stopped firing.
The remaining Japanese fled into Shuri Castle in a hurry, and then closed the gate and prepared to hide. Some of the brave ones even ran to the city wall and shot outside. Yang Feng's mercenaries quickly dispersed to find cover, probably
The city wall gave them enough courage, and then even some armed civilians ran up to it, and some actually used bows and arrows to shoot outwards, which made Yang Feng frown.
"Why don't we wait for a while and wait for the villain to try to sneak into the city and contact Mr. Xiang Zhili in the city. He has always been looking forward to the Kingdom of Heaven. If he has this opportunity, he will definitely be able to do justice. When the time comes, you and your Excellency should cooperate internally and externally.
, we can attack Shuri Fort." The guide next to him said hurriedly.
"This is also called a fortified city?" Yang Feng looked at the low city wall in the distance speechlessly. However, being able to build a castle on such a small island is already very rare, and they can't blame them for boasting. Considering
Thinking that there were actually three countries here back then, he was very curious about the scale of the war between the Ryukyu people? They wouldn't be like those touted famous Japanese generals from the Warring States Period, leading hundreds of people to fight with weapons, right? What if?
In that case, such a castle would indeed be invincible.
The guide smiled awkwardly and didn't know how to answer Yang Feng. Then he saw the commander-in-chief, whose mental state was not very stable, turned to a soldier behind him and said something in a voice he couldn't understand.
, the Western soldier immediately turned his head and waved the two small flags in his hand towards the giant ironclad ship on the sea in the distance.
Then the huge ship suddenly burst into flames, and a chilling roar followed immediately above the head.
The guide subconsciously turned his head following the whistling sound, and saw four huge fireballs suddenly exploded on the Shuri city wall in the distance. The city wall that he had believed to be indestructible since he was a child disappeared instantly in the light of the fire.
"There is no fortified city in front of the cannon. Let alone the small Shuri, even the Forbidden City in Beijing can be blasted away." Yang Feng looked arrogantly at Shuri Castle in the distance, where a huge gap was opened by the cannonball.
I didn't feel that my words were disrespectful at all.
Fortunately, the guide at this time was stunned by the heavy artillery and didn't even hear what he said.
The Marauder fired a total of nine shells in this salvo, four of which hit the city wall, two of which hit the outside of the city, and three of which flew into the city, and then created three shells in the city with a diameter of dozens of meters.
Now the Ryukyu people in the city have given up. If this continues, it will only take a few rounds of bombardment for this small town to be destroyed.
It has been more than ten years since the Japanese annexed Ryukyu. Among the bureaucrats and people here, many still miss the old country. They did not have enough courage before, but now they can't. If they continue to attack them, their homes will be lost. To be honest, those people may
He doesn't care who rules above him, but he can't care less about his homeland.
There was no need for anyone to get up and start. The Ryukyu people, who were already relatively brutal and aggressive, poured out of their homes one by one. Although they did not have any decent weapons, they still had plenty of harpoons and short knives, and then attacked from behind with murderous intent.
The Japanese on the city wall, who had been frightened out of their wits by the heavy artillery, could not withstand being attacked from both sides.
At this time, the second round of bombardment started on the Marauder. The accuracy of this round of bombardment was relatively high. Basically, all of them hit near the city wall. Only one flew into the city. By now, the wall in front of it has been
One-third of the city wall was destroyed by the bombing, and there was no point in defending the city wall. All the remaining Japanese hurriedly retreated to the east of the city.
The mercenaries outside immediately rushed out from their hiding places, and under the leadership of their respective officers, poured into Shuri Castle like a tide.
