After hearing Liu Hai's inquiry, Ye Faguang hurriedly explained: "Commander, the commander of the Guards Division, Prince Noji Kitashirakawa, is on this mountain. I wanted to capture him alive, so I didn't attack immediately. I wanted to send someone up the mountain to persuade him to come down voluntarily.
surrender."
Liu Hai disagreed after hearing this, "These senior officers are all die-hards. If you want them to surrender, it is simply impossible. There is no need to persuade them to surrender. We can attack directly. I don't have time to wait for them."
After Ye Faguang heard Liu Hai's words, although he didn't agree with him, he didn't dare to disobey and immediately ordered the artillery to prepare to fire.
Next, hundreds of 122mm howitzers and 155mm howitzers covered the hillside indiscriminately.
The remnants of the Guards Division on the mountain had just begun to dig trenches, so there was no place to hide. This round of shelling directly wiped out more than 1,000 soldiers on the mountain.
After the shelling ended, Ye Faguang immediately ordered the soldiers of the Hunan Army to go up and clean up the mess.
These people from the Hunan Army held guns and trotted up to the position without encountering any resistance. When they completely attacked the hillside, they discovered that there were very few enemy soldiers left, and the only few people alive were
Staying there like a fool, not knowing how to fight back.
Finally, people from the Hunan Army dug out Prince Nohisa Kitashirakawa, the leader of the Guards Division, from a pile of dead people.
Although this old boy has poor command skills, the guards under his command are really loyal. When the Hunan Army started shelling, these soldiers under his command used their bodies as a barrier to resist the attack of the artillery shells for the prince.
This prince is alive.
Prince Nojiu of Kitashirakawa Palace was also stunned by the shells. He didn't wake up until he was dug out by the soldiers of the Hunan Army.
As soon as he woke up, the old guy was not honest and started yelling. As a result, a small platoon leader next to him became a little unhappy and started to talk a few words. This time, the prince was immediately blinded.
, and immediately stopped calling.
When the little platoon leader saw that the old guy was finally quiet, he proudly taught his soldiers his experience, "You see, these people are cheap. As long as you give him a few blows, he will become honest immediately, and so will you."
Learn a little bit."
The soldiers under his command quickly complimented him, and soon the platoon leader was so impressed that he really took his theory seriously. In the subsequent wars, he also put this theory into action. Don't you think so?
In the end, great results were achieved.
This group of people dragged Prince Nohisa Kitashirakawa, the commander of the Guards Division, down the hillside to the position, and reported to the top that they had caught a big guy.
When Liu Hai and Ye Faguang heard that the big guy had been caught, they came over excitedly to see who they had caught.
When I came over, I saw an old guy with unkempt hair. Even though his mouth was closed, his eyes were filled with fierceness, and he kept looking around.
When Liu Hai saw this situation, he immediately stopped and wondered whether this guy had any bad intentions. He was now too delicate and expensive to take such a risk.
So he said to Liu San, the guardian beside him: "Go and search this old guy to make sure nothing goes wrong."
After Liu San got the order, he immediately rushed forward with a few people. He touched the old guy randomly and finally found a grenade in his sleeve.
When the platoon leader who captured Prince Nohisa Kitashirakawa saw this situation, his face turned pale with fright. This old guy could really pack such a big grenade. How did he pack it in?
When Prince Noku of Kitashirakawa Palace saw that the grenade was found, he immediately acted like a deflated rubber ball. The fierce light just now disappeared and he completely turned into an old man who was about to die.
Liu San looked the prince up and down like he was holding a grenade, then he chuckled, turned around, and reported back to Liu Hai.
Liu Hai saw what Liu San and the others found from the old guy from a distance, but when he received Liu San's report and found out that a grenade was found in his sleeve, he was also frightened. And Ye Faguang next to him was frightened.
, I also felt incredible after listening to the report.
"Is there nothing else? Has this old guy searched everything on his body?"
"Don't worry, Master, I have searched this old guy all over his body. There will never be another needle in his body."
Liu Hai felt relieved after hearing this, and then brought Judge Ye to Prince Nojiu of Kitashirakawa Palace.
The captured prince heard footsteps approaching and looked up, only to see dozens of guards coming here surrounded by two people.
Liu Hai came to Prince Noji of Kitashirakawa Palace. He looked the prince up and down first, and then said arrogantly: "Looking at your extraordinary dress, you must be a big shot, right?"
Prince Kitashirakawa Nohisa's face was earthy, and he said with a disgusted expression: "I am Prince Kitashirakawa Nohisa, the commander of the Guards Division. If you are still brave, please shoot me and give me a decent death."
When Liu Hai heard that this old guy turned out to be a prince, he couldn't let him die. What's the use of not being able to protect him in the future?
"Since you are the prince, we cannot let you die. You can go to the back and take a rest. As long as you are honest, your life safety can still be guaranteed."
After Liu Hai said this, he waved his hands to the soldiers and asked them to send him to the prison camp behind.
The next thing is to clean the battlefield and let the soldiers take time to rest, because they will prepare to invade the imperial capital the next day.
At this time, the enemy's capital city had received news of the defeat at the front. After receiving the news, Hirobumi Iitō and other cabinet members hurriedly prepared their bags and began to retreat.
The king, on the other hand, had already retreated to the old capital before the war began.
Originally, Hirobumi Itto saw the crisis and hoped that the king could stay at the front line to boost morale. However, the king was so concerned about his own life that he would not stay at the front line.
Therefore, despite Iitō Hirobumi's repeated requests, the king retreated out of the capital by car and fled to the old capital.
Now it seems that this person may really be blessed by a great god. His premonition of danger is so accurate. In this day, his Guards Division has been completely wiped out. If he stays there, he may not even be able to escape.
There's no time left.
At this time, Hirobumi Itto took the member to clean up and started to escape.
By the time it dawned on the second day, there were no management personnel in the capital city and it became chaos.
After Liu Hai finished washing up in the morning and had a hearty breakfast, he received news that the city was in chaos and rape and robbery were occurring everywhere.
After listening to this, Liu Hai thought for a moment and felt that this should be because there were no more security personnel in the city.
So he immediately sent an order to the army to enter the city immediately and take over the security of the enemy's capital.
After Ye Faguang and others received Liu Hai's order, they discussed it and did not send all the troops into the city together. Instead, they first sent a division to conduct a test.
The commander of the 6th Division, Jia Fen, led his more than 10,000 men and cautiously approached the urban area of the enemy's capital, but no resistance occurred.
Many places in the city are now in ruins. For example, in the place where Jia Fen and the others passed, many houses have collapsed.
Many people sat around their original houses like puppets, waiting for the next good or bad fate.
Seeing that there was no resistance, the soldiers of the Hunan Army ignored the civilians and slowly searched forward. As they searched and moved forward, they also encountered several incidents of robbery and rape. Regarding this kind of thing, Hunan soldiers
The army was never lenient and opened fire immediately. They were able to save some ordinary people.
As the 6th Division entered the city, no resistance occurred. Only then did Liu Hai and the others determine that the city was already an undefended city.
So hundreds of thousands of people rushed into the enemy's capital in a mighty manner.
This capital, which had been the center of the enemy since Tokugawa Ieyasu established the shogunate, fell into Liu Hai's hands at this moment.
After entering the city, Liu Hai immediately found a fairly good house to serve as his headquarters.
Other officers at all levels were also near Liu Hai's headquarters, each going to his or her own residence.
After Liu Hai entered the city, he issued the first order, ordering Hunan Army soldiers to start cleaning up the entire city and carry out indiscriminate attacks on all those who violated laws and disciplines.
After three days of rectification, the entire city finally calmed down, and all government agencies and banks in the city were taken over by Liu Hai's soldiers.
Only now can Liu Hai completely announce to the outside world that he has occupied the enemy's capital.
As soon as Liu Hai completed the rectification of public security in the city, he received reports from the Western powers, and ambassadors from several countries came together and asked to meet with Liu Hai.
As soon as Liu Hai heard this situation, he understood in his heart that these people were either here to support the enemy, or they just wanted to come and take a share of the pie.
Liu Hai realized that he now had powerful water power and was not afraid of these foreigners at all. Why should he give them benefits? Therefore, he made up his mind that this time he would swallow up all the rights and interests of this small country.
However, Liu Hai still followed etiquette and met these people in the living room.
As soon as Liu Hai entered the living room, before he could sit down firmly, the ambassadors from these countries surrounded him.
Among them, the most arrogant Ambassador of the Rakshasa Kingdom, Andryusha, said, "Your Majesty, your blatant invasion of a sovereign country completely violates international commitments. I demand that your troops withdraw from this country immediately."
After hearing this, Liu Hai ignored this lengtouqing. When had they abided by their international commitments? Isn't it nonsense to talk about this with myself now?
Gilly Minister Royce Mari was much more stable than the Rakshasa people. "Mr. Governor, our country regrets that you had a conflict with the Japanese. But for the sake of our country's interests here, I hope that Mr. Governor will control his behavior and not expand it any further."
