There are a total of 125 Feilong 3 airships in the sky, each carrying 16 napalm bombs - this napalm bomb is very powerful, but it is not difficult to make. It is nothing more than adding coagulant to gasoline. If the coagulant is not found, adding more rubber to thicken it will have a similar effect.
Nagasaki City, where wooden houses are everywhere, is undoubtedly the place where napalm can exert its best power.
Low wooden houses, narrow streets, randomly placed wooden vehicles and equipment, as well as various goods packed in cattail bags and wooden boxes, and the huge Nagasaki grain depot... the whole thing is a flammable place. What an explosive city!
Without napalm, there would be one or two major fires in Nagasaki City every year, some of which were serious enough to burn down entire neighborhoods. It would actually be of little use to blow up such a city with bombs. 125 airships can only carry 2,000 bombs at most, killing one or two thousand people (most of the residents in Nagasaki Castle dug air-raid shelters), and destroying hundreds or thousands of them is simply overwhelming. Anyway, human life in Nagasaki City is worthless, and wooden houses are even less valuable.
But this napalm bomb is awesome!
2,000 napalm bombs exploded simultaneously in various places in a small city filled with wooden houses, causing an uncontrollable fire. And because of Shimazu Sairyo's order, most Nagasaki residents stayed in their homes at this time. Most people did not sit in the house waiting for paper bombs (what if it was a real bomb?), but drilled He built his own air-raid shelter.
When the fire broke out, they didn't even know what happened? They thought it was Ming's airship dropping bombs, so they stayed tighter in the cave until the fire burned to their heads... Even if they were not burned to death, they would die painfully due to smoke and lack of oxygen. !
There are not many security forces and air defense teams maintaining order on the streets - in fact, there is no way to defend against air defense in Nagasaki City. They only have a few large guns in total. The barrels of those things are difficult to process, and the Japanese simply cannot If you can't play with it, only the Ming Dynasty, Great Britain, France, and Prussia can process the long tube of the 13mm large gun. Moreover, this kind of large gun is a sharp weapon for assassination. All countries have strict regulations, and it is more difficult to deal with than an 11-inch cannon.
So the Nagasaki air defense team could only watch helplessly as the enemy airships came over to bomb!
As for the mission of the police force, it is actually to prevent someone from taking advantage of the chaos to rebel... Oh, I can't say rebellion, let's say anyway! After all, Nagasaki is already recognized as a national thief, an enemy of the DPRK, and a treasonous traitor both inside and outside Japan!
Therefore, what Shimazu Qi Liang was most afraid of was not the invasion of officers and soldiers from outside, but the changes within Nagasaki City.
As a result, when fires burned all over Nagasaki, there were only a few police and air defense teams on the streets of Nagasaki. It was impossible to extinguish the fires caused by napalm bombs... and 2,000 napalm bombs The fire ignited by the bombs covered the whole city in a short time.
The jinya where Shimazu Qi Liang was located was not ignited at the beginning, but the surrounding houses and blocks were burned to pieces. He watched the raging fire rolling in heat waves and rushing towards his jinya from all directions. , he suddenly thought of... Oda Nobunaga!
Well, we’ve already arrived at Honnōji Temple!
I wonder if the troops stationed outside Nagasaki will come to put out the fire and save people?
Just when he thought of this, he suddenly heard the faint roar of cannons in his ears!
"Boom boom boom..."
The sound of cannons was continuous and very dense. As soon as I heard it, I knew it couldn't be the 11-inch cannon!
Shimazu Qi Liang's face, which had been covered in sweat by the heat wave, suddenly showed a frightened expression, and asked with a trembling voice: "This, is this the army firing artillery?"
It was Saigo who answered him: "Lord... these are 155 mm or less howitzers firing! There are many of them, I'm afraid there are hundreds... It seems that the army is about to launch a general attack !”
It's over...
Everyone is heartbroken!
The officers and soldiers launched an attack... Now, instead of being burned to death by the Ming Dynasty's sky fire, everyone would be killed by the officers and soldiers' guns. Moreover, after their death, they would be scolded as traitors to the country and enemies of the court for generations to come. , Selling Asian thieves!
Well, the battle hasn't even started yet, but Tojo, Yamagata, Into, Oyama, Matsui, Doihara, Sakagaki, and Okamura and this group of people have already thought about being infamy for thousands of years. This consciousness is much stronger than that of their descendants of war criminals. !
At the same time, at the gateway to the Nagasaki Peninsula, the "veteran war criminals" at the Hattengatake position looked like they were about to collapse - they originally wanted to save the country and get some money, and if possible, they would try again. A part-time official. As a result, Huli and Hutu became a traitor to the country, an enemy of the court, and a traitor to Asia! Let’s not talk about the traitors and thieves, but the national traitors and the enemies of the DPRK have not escaped!
The Emperor's chrysanthemum flag and the Tokugawa family's trifoliate flag were all hung on the enemy's side!
This shows that the enemy is just and has a righteous name, and they are all Japanese traitors and sinners...
"Lie to Kangxi"
What's even more devastating is that Nagasaki City is already in flames! Some of these "old war criminals" came to Nagasaki with their family papers... Could they have been burned to death by such a big fire?
Thinking of this, everyone lost their fighting spirit and just sat numbly behind the parapet, looking at the thick smoke over Nagasaki City, waiting for their doom.
While they were panicking, there was already a scene of jubilation on the official and military positions at the foot of Riyue Mountain and Badianyue Mountain opposite.
Because the samurai soldiers gathered at the starting positions have just learned of the great news. The emperor has issued an edict to label the feudal lord and important ministers of the Satsuma Shimazu Domain as enemies of the court and deprive them of all official positions.
The Tokugawa shogunate announced that it would confiscate all the territory of the Satsuma Shimazu clan... The 650,000 stone fiefdom of the Shimazu family will be used to reward all soldiers with meritorious service!
Although it is only 650,000 dan, it is a "family salary", which is a salary that can be passed down to children and grandchildren! If 650,000 koku is divided into 100 koku portions, there will be 6,500 portions... that is 6,500 hundred koku retainers.
In the Warring States Period, when the world was in chaos, it was nothing to capture 100 Shi Jialu, but in today's relatively peaceful era, a warrior with 100 Shi Jialu was already very respectable.
Among all the official and military samurai, the most energetic ones are undoubtedly the northern samurai under the direct jurisdiction of Emperor Shizuko!
This time, the emperor and the general are marching together on a personal expedition!
The emperor left the Kyoto Imperial Palace and, under the protection of Zheng Guoxian, personally marched to Nijo Castle... crossed two roads and marched about one kilometer!
But that's one small step for Shizuko, one giant leap for Emperor! The last emperor to have a personal conquest was Emperor Go-Daigo!
The emperor's expedition was only one kilometer long, but her northern warriors followed Zheng Guoxian and carried the emperor's chrysanthemum flag all the way to Mount Hidake near Nagasaki. Then they erected the imperial flag on Mount Hidake and set up an artillery observation post - -The artillery observation post controlled by the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty was right next to the imperial flag. The group of warriors who respected the king and resisted the Ming Dynasty on the Badianyue Mountain opposite could only be dumbfounded.
If you want to respect the king, you cannot attack the imperial flag. If you want to attack the Ming army's artillery command post, you have to attack the imperial flag together... It is no exaggeration to say that this time the Ming Dynasty's "beat the dog and collect the dog" From the very beginning of the war, Japan took the strategic initiative and advantage. Not only did it have the absolute upper hand in terms of strength, but it also firmly grasped the right to justice, so that Japan, which was treated as a dog, had to help the Ming Dynasty. Come hit yourself!
Moreover, the Japanese samurai who helped the Ming Dynasty fight Japan thought that they were the righteous ones - in fact, the Ming Dynasty hung up the Ming Ming warriors in Nagasaki and beat them just to show them, but they actually still helped the Ming Dynasty fight, Or lead the charge and lead the charge.
Those Japanese samurai who were actually fighting for Japan's interests thought that they were... thieves!
This is the real crushing!
From military force to comprehensive mental crushing, apart from being a dog to the Great Tomorrow, it left no room for Japan to struggle.
"Onboard! Onboard! Onboard..."
When the sound of artillery fire gradually dissipated, the cheers of the infantrymen had swept across Mount Hattengatake and reached the city of Nagasaki, which had turned into a blazing hell.
Needless to say, we know that the general offensive of the army has begun!
When the defenders of Hattengatake Mountain collapsed under the attack of the official army.
Shimazu Qi Liang's Jinya was about to be completely surrounded by fire. The wooden walls around the array house have begun to smoke in several places, and they are likely to burn down soon.
In the courtyard of the Jinya, Shimazu Qi Liang had put on a white samurai uniform and was sitting on his knees on the ground. There was a small table in front of him, and on the table was a sword... He was about to commit seppuku!
The one-eyed dragon Xixiang stood behind Qi Liang, holding an Odachi sword in his hand with a gloomy expression!
On the left and right sides of Shimazu Qi Liang, there are two rows of women in white kneeling, each with a small table and a knife in front of them... These people are Qi Liang's concubines and older ones. Daughters, they will kill themselves with swords after Qi Liang's death, or of course commit seppuku!
Qi Liang's son was too young to commit seppuku, so Qi Liang had to help him solve the problem himself...
Qi Liang looked at his beautiful concubines and daughters, sighed, and bowed slightly: "I'm sorry for causing you trouble (it's a lot of trouble)!"
As he spoke, he pulled out his sword, poked his belly lightly without breaking the skin, and then yelled: "Xixiang, do it!"
"Hayin!"
Saigo roared and swung his sword, Shimazu Qi Liang's head fell to the ground... Then he cast his cold eyes on Qi Liang's concubines and daughters!
