"It's a sin!" Looking at the empty Yokohama city in front of him, Jiang Guitu was stunned for a moment, then his lips trembled and let out a sad howl.

Last time, he saved more than one million taels from the Song Qing tribe of Sendai. Even if he had half a share with Yang Feng, there were still at least 700,000 taels left. The 2,700 Yi soldiers under his command were all so happy that they rushed up. Even Jiang Guiqun, a man who was soaked by poisonous gas, rushed to board the ship, and Ma Yukun couldn't help but know that a group of bandits rushed into Yokohama with their hands ready to find that this was an empty city. The grief and anger were self-evident.

Of course, the Japanese would not be so stupid that they left Yokohama for them to rob. Although the city is in Tokyo Bay and Kamakura is in Sagami Bay, the two places are only more than ten kilometers apart. An observation post is built on the top of the mountain north of Kamakura. The 130 gun of the Raider can easily smooth out the entire Yokohama. So before the Eight-Nation Alliance landing location was determined, Hirofumi Ito was very clever to chase the residents of this city into the Tokyo defense circle. Even foreigners even ran to Tokyo to avoid harming the fish.

The grief and the mercenary soldiers, or according to their current official identities, the Ottoman Turkish soldiers, after a carpet-style search and confirmed that the people of Yokohama left, took away all the things they should have to take, and to vent their anger, they simply burned the city with a torch.

Just when the fire on the Yokohama sky was on fire, Tsurujikawa's south bank, more than 70 Krupp cannons from Waldze also began to bombard the Japanese trenches on the north bank. Under the sky covered by clouds, a 75mm field cannon was arranged neatly, and the shells were poured out four kilometers away. The whistling sound of breaking through the air was like the howling of countless demons. The waves of air impacted by the dense explosions, and the shrapnel scattered shrapnel were crazily roulining the land of Japan.

The soldiers of the 7th Japanese Division, who were guarding Tokyo's first line of defense, held various old-fashioned rifles, curled up in the shallow trenches with their heads in their arms, waiting for the choice of fate, and the entire earth was boiling above their heads, with steel, gravel, and soil surging like tsunami waves, swallowing their tiny bodies.

This kind of trench is too shallow, of course there is no way to do this. If you dig a trench of one and a half meters deep, most Japanese soldiers will probably not be able to see the enemy. The soil in the Kanto Plain is too soft. This kind of fertile soil can grow crops, and it will be a little too hard to stop the explosion of shells. Even if this kind of shell is a 75mm nitrified cotton shell with too little power in Yang Feng's opinion.

The trenches that Hirobu Ito, which were highly anticipated by Hirobuki, were razed in the explosion of shells, and the overwhelmed soil and fragmented Japanese bodies were buried one by one. By the way, countless soldiers or soldiers were buried. The recruits who had just put down their hoes were more and more people howled out of the trenches and crawled out of the trenches and left this hell because they could not stand this cruel battlefield environment. Of course, the result was that they went to hell as quickly as possible.

The quality of German artillery is second to none in this era, especially since they not only have field artillery, but also temporarily equipped mortars purchased from the Hanyang Guns and Cannon Factory. This kind of artillery that has been tested on the Yashan battlefield has become the next priority of equipment for all countries. Accurate shooting can be called a crazy rate of fire, and the artillery has decided the end of this battle...

After nearly fifteen minutes of artillery preparation, more than 100 artillery groups, four German infantry regiments charged at the Japanese defense line at the same time, and dozens of Maxim machine guns were spraying flames behind them to provide cover for their attacks. However, it was obvious that the German army had not yet learned to fight the real straggler.

More than 10,000 German soldiers lined up in densely attacking formations waded the knee-deep river. While shooting at the opposite bank with dense platoons, they rushed to the river bank not far away under the command of the officers wielding their swords. Beside them, there were even drummers constantly pounding the attacking drum beats.

What greeted them was the few shooting sounds on the opposite side, and lead-made projectiles whistled from the heavy smoke from the black fire. One after another German soldiers fell down as the blood splashed, and the bright red blood in the mixed river water flowed downwards, which looked particularly dazzling, but the well-trained and disciplined German soldiers did not care about the deaths around them. They held the committee rifle with a bayonet and walked hard in the river like a robot.

This scene made the mercenaries who rushed to join Tokyo and took advantage of the robbery. Song Qing was still there to educate his men: "Look at others, this is the real army. Look at you when you fight, you will be as chasing as a pig in a dog."

Li Yuncong looked at him speechlessly and decided to find an opportunity to educate this admiral who was twice his age with facts.

The narrow Mikawa Tsurumikawa could not really stop the German army. Soon the vanguard of the attacking troops had already stepped onto the river bank. At this time, as the bombardment density weakened, the remaining Japanese soldiers in the trenches, driven by the belief in defending the country, began to regain their courage amid the angry roars of the officers, and then trembled with the ancient rifles in their hands, and began to shoot against the dense bullets flying from the opposite side.

These reserve soldiers who were recruited in a hurry naturally could not be comparable to the elite German army in terms of quality. Besides, the number was too small to form real suppression firepower, and they were not very familiar with trench operations. Many people even stood in and fired like they trained on weekdays, and then were covered with dense volleyball bullets. In addition, the originally stretched defense line had long been broken, so the German army soon successfully rushed into the Japanese trenches.

Next is the classic hand-to-hand combat. At this time, the Japanese recruits calmed down and could see that they had really practiced hard on weekdays. In addition, they had already made Germany. Although the number of people was absolutely inferior and their physical fitness was incomparable, they actually caused some trouble for the Germans. Looking at the bloody bayonets in front of them, Song Qing and others were actually excited. They probably found the feeling they had back then. If the expression was not far away, they would probably have pulled out their waist knife and killed them now.

Of course, there is no suspense in the result of the bayonet fight. The remaining hundreds of Japanese soldiers were all stabbed to the ground within ten minutes.

In fact, the Japanese army only set up one wing on this line of defense, and all of them were old-fashioned rifles and even iron cannons. To put it bluntly, they were cannon fodder that consumed German ammunition and tested the opponent's combat effectiveness. The real main force was Tamakawa, which was the Japanese decisive defense line. But after being bombarded for fifteen minutes, the German army still suffered nearly 100 casualties.

This result made Waldeze very satisfied. Since it was a war, it was normal for death to be killed. The deaths and injuries of one hundred people destroyed thousands of Japanese troops. This can be described as victory. However, the courage of the Japanese army also surprised him. In his opinion, these Eastern nations should be defeated in front of powerful German soldiers.

While he was launching an attack, the fleet led by Tirpits also began to attack the Japanese forts on both sides of the Uraga waterway. This was a relatively difficult task. The Japanese army built a large number of forts on both sides of the Uraga waterway, Misaki, Kenzaki, and Castle Island forts on the Miura Peninsula, and Shuzaki and Oyakumai on the Fangzhu Peninsula that faced them across the sea. Inside are Chiyosaki, Guanyinsaki, the West Coast, and the two major forts of the Monshan and Jingu that are arranged in the shape of their finished products. In addition, the first, second and third sea forts on the island at the entrance of Tokyo Bay, can be said to have formed a complete defense system that stretches for more than ten kilometers, and are equipped with their own bronze 280 mm shore defense cannons, with their own firepower not weak in German battleships.

There is nothing to do with this job, so he can only use the naval guns to fight them, and then clean them up one by one. Even the ground attack of Moltke was mainly harassment and restraint. His main target was the Japanese ammunition depot in Yikata. He has now started to exchange fire with the Japanese troops guarding there. However, he was fighting in the mountains and the progress would definitely not be too fast. It would take warships to truly solve these fortresses of the Japanese army.

Under the command of Tirpitz, the coalition fleet first started shelling the three turrets on the Miura Peninsula. Hundreds of cannons on more than 20 main battleships were amazingly powerful. For a moment, thunder rolled on the sea, gunpowders were filled with smoke, artillery shells roaring, and the air pressure of the large-caliber cannon bombed out of the borehole, and huge semicircles rushed out of the sea, making Yang Feng, who was watching the battle in the distance, bursting out of the air.

The opponent's 280 and 240 cannons were not weak at all. In the flames of the shells explosion, striking fountain flames gushed out. As the sound of the shells breaking through the air, water columns rose in the fleet, and there were even flames that exploded when the warships were hit. The two sides started a large-scale artillery battle.

However, after all, the Japanese army is still weak. Although shore defense cannons must have advantages over naval cannons, the problem is that there is a warship in the Eight-Nation Alliance fleet that hides far outside their range, and specifically uses poison gas bombs to greet these cannons. The Predator's current mission is to harass them with poison gas bombs.
