On the eighth day of August, at 11:30 noon, a military meeting was underway at the Shimazu Jinya in Nagasaki.
"Sir, the rebels' defenses in the direction of Hattendake are impregnable. The Hattiandake fort is equipped with 18 movable 11-inch howitzers, which are enough to blast all invading enemies into pieces! If the enemy wants to land from the sea, the cannons on the Hattendake fort cannon You can also cover the beachhead with fierce firepower!"
"Sir, the rebel army's defense on the Nishihiki Peninsula is also very solid. The firepower of the Atsubi Island fort is enough to guard the Atsubi Seto Strait and prevent the official...official troops from landing!"
"Sir, the navy still firmly controls the sea control of Omura Bay, so there is no need to worry about the official troops landing from the direction of Omura Bay."
"Sir, the defense along the coast of the West Sea is also very solid, and the four forts including the West Sea, Oshima, Old Detsu, and Zuodaoshan are enough to guard the coast."
"Sir, there is currently no problem with the defense of the Nagasaki Peninsula. The warships of the Ming Navy only dare to operate outside the range of our 11-inch cannon."
"Sir, the inventory in the Nagasaki City Grain Depot is also very sufficient, enough to supply 100,000 rebels, family members, and ordinary people for three years!"
Seems...okay.
Listening to the report of the people below, Shimazu Qi Liang breathed a sigh of relief. Nagasaki has a difficult terrain and is a coastal defense fortress that the Tokugawa shogunate has worked hard for many years. If it weren't for the shogunate's defenders deliberately letting Shimazu take the blame (in order to make Shimadzu take the blame), Shimazu's men would not have been able to capture Nagasaki.
Therefore, the rebel army led by Shimazu Sailio may be able to hold on in Nagasaki until the international and domestic situation changes... It is just that it is difficult to know the current international and domestic situation in Nagasaki City. Because the telephone and telegrams in Nagasaki City have long been cut off, these rebels now know that they are enemies of the DPRK, national traitors, and traitors!
Just as he was thinking more and more despairingly, a bell suddenly sounded "dang ding dang" outside.
This is the air raid siren!
In the past few days, the Ming Dynasty's airships were running to Nagasaki every day, but they did not drop bombs, but "paper bombs", which were leaflets. The leaflets were printed with the news that the emperor and the shogunate issued an edict to attack the Nagasaki traitor and Asian traitor Shimazu Sairyo and his gang members... They also announced the list of the chief culprits of the Nagasaki rebels and the conditions for their reform.
Of course, Shimazu Sailiang is number one on the list of the most culprits. He is so heinous that not only he will not be forgiven, but his wives, concubines, and children will not be forgiven either!
In other words, Shimazu Qi Liang no longer has to consider surrender...
As for the coercion's reform, it is divided into those who have made meritorious service and those who have not made meritorious service. As long as the coercion who has not made meritorious service sneaks out of the city and surrenders before the official army launches a general attack, he can be exempted from the death penalty... just exempted from death! If you can perform meritorious service, such as cutting off the head of Shimazu Sailiang and offering it as a sacrifice, then it will be a "big golden ticket", and you can also become a direct counselor of the shogunate or a samurai of the north!
For those penniless wanderers, this is simply a step to heaven!
So when Shimazu Qi Liang thinks of those leaflets dropped from the sky, his spine goes cold!
"Send the order!" Shimazu shouted loudly, "The whole city is under martial law. Except for the security team responsible for security and the air defense team responsible for air defense, everyone else, including civilians, family members and samurai without missions, all return to their respective places. Residence, no going out is allowed!”
"Hayin!"
Immediately below, several more alert and air defense officers responded loudly.
These people were all from Satsuma and were Shimazu Qi Liang's confidants. After receiving the order, they immediately got up and rushed out to perform the mission.
Shimazu Qi Liang looked at the people still staying in the formation room, nodded and said: "Let's go to the yard and have a look!"
After saying that, he stood up with his hands on the floor, took the sword from Xiao Xing's hand, and then strode out.
When Shimazu Qi Liang walked out of the house to the yard of his house and looked up at the sky, Zhuge Weidao was sitting in the passenger seat of a Flying Dragon III airship, looking down at Nagasaki, which is full of wooden houses below. city.
"Strategy!" Sitting in the pilot's seat of the airship is Ma Xuchen from the First Airship Team. He has been promoted to lieutenant colonel. He will be promoted to colonel after the burning of Nagasaki this time. However, he is not very excited. Instead, he was a little hesitant, "There must be many women and children in the city, right?"
Of course... there must be many from Kotojo, Koyama Prefecture, Koindo, Kodaiyama, Komatsui, Kodobihara, Kosakagaki, and Kookamura!
Although Nagasaki is the center of commerce and maritime trade, the surrounding Satsuma, Kumamoto, and Choshu are all the birthplaces of JG-ism. Can there be any good people among the traitors and traitors gathered in Nagasaki now?
Moreover, even if the fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers of those Japanese JG elements did not serve as rebels inside Nagasaki City, they might still serve as officers and soldiers outside Nagasaki City!
Thinking of this, Zhuge Weidao snorted: "There are thieves in Nagasaki City, and the Japanese shogunate outside Nagasaki City are not good people... But it doesn't matter, let's burn him to death with a fire from the sky." Ten thousand, and then drive the shogunate army with high morale outside Nagasaki City and kill tens of thousands of them. Finally, they will exterminate Satsuma and exterminate the Shimazu clan. The remaining little Japan will know the consequences of fighting against the Celestial Empire! In the future They will follow us wholeheartedly and become good people to liberate Indians and Indians who are oppressed by Westerners!
This is called being afraid of power but not being immoral. The Japanese have such a temperament. Just being nice to them is of no use. You have to let them know how powerful they are. You have to hang them up and give them a good beating first! understand? "
"I understand, I understand..." Ma Xuchen nodded repeatedly, looking at Zhuge Weidao who looked like he had a deep hatred for the Japanese, and the expression on his face became fierce, "Military advisor, we have arrived over the center of Nagasaki. Got it!" He raised his hand and pointed down, "Military advisor, have you seen those big houses? That's the Nagasaki Grain Depot!"
Zhuge Weidao nodded: "Okay! That's it!"
It had been planned to start burning at the Nagasaki Grain Depot - in this era, Nagasaki was the largest port for Chinese grain to be imported into Japan, and the imported grain would first be stored in the Nagasaki Grain Depot, and then Shipped by ship to various places in Japan (mainly to various places in western Japan). When the "Traitor Rebellion" occurred in Nagasaki, more than 1 million koku of Siam and Annam rice were stored in this granary.
With this kind of food, the "traitors" of Nagasaki would have no problem guarding it for three years!
Therefore, this grain depot must be burned!
Zhuge Weidao looked at the grain depot below that had "become" the size of a mahjong tile and asked: "What's the height?"
"2500 meters!"
"Wind speed and direction?"
"Level 2 to 3, the wind is from the southeast... We have to fly to the southeast of the grain depot to drop bombs."
"Our speed?"
"50 kilometers per hour."
"Okay!" Zhuge Weidao nodded, "Xu Chen, you are the captain, you take command!"
"Yes, military advisor!" Ma Xuchen said loudly: "Attention all crew members, the airship will maintain speed and fly to a stop 10 kilometers southeast of the target. The wind will then return the airship to the target... Bombardiers should pay attention to seize the opportunity to drop bombs. !”
"yes!"
...
"So many airships!"
At the same moment, Shimazu Qi Liang, who was standing in the Shimazu Jinya, looked at the more than a hundred airships floating in the sky and felt something was wrong... You don't need to dispatch so many airships to throw paper bombs, right? How much paper do you have to throw away?
"Sir," Saigo also saw something was wrong, "these airships spread out in a double formation over Nagasaki. Are they going to bomb?"
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
"bombing?"
"So many airships, so big..."
"Sir, there seems to be an airship above us. Do you want to take cover?"
These "Japanese samurai" around Shimazu are already a little panicked. Now that they have lost their righteousness and their momentum is already low, they no longer have the arrogance of the "Kudan Sakami" - they are all national traitors. You cannot become a god if you die!
"Sir, the airship, the airship seems to have stopped in mid-air!" Xixiang's voice was trembling. Because he knew that when the airship bombed, it would first stop near the target, then slowly move with the wind, and then drop the bomb when it floated directly above the target.
Shimazu Qi Liang turned around and glared at the one-eyed dragon Saigo, and said sternly: "What's there to be afraid of? It's just more than a thousand bombs...it won't kill many people!"
If it were a bomb, it really wouldn't kill many people...
"Bomb, the bomb is coming!"
Some people have already seen the airship floating above the Nagasaki grain depot not far away beginning to "lay eggs". Those "airship eggs" fell out of the "belly" of the airship one after another at a speed visible to the naked eye, whistling and falling rapidly. Most of them fell. None of them directly hit the granary. Only one smashed through the roof of a granary with a "bang" and fell in.
Just when everyone was breathing a little sigh of relief, suddenly... a huge orange-red fireball suddenly rose from a granary in the Nagasaki Granary Depot, soared straight into the sky, and at the same time made a roar like rolling thunder. The roar!
This explosion is too... terrible, right?
Before anyone who witnessed all this could react, more huge orange-red fireballs soared into the sky on the streets, houses and other wooden buildings near the Nagasaki grain depot.
The fire engulfed the entire Nagasaki grain depot almost instantly!
And this was just the beginning of Nagasaki’s barbecue day. As other airships in the sky opened their magazines one after another and dropped napalm bombs, hot and dazzling fires ignited all over Nagasaki City in an instant!
Skyfire burns the city and all evil turns to ashes!
