Chapter 1512 The red flag flutters, the sword is unsheathed
"The red flag flutters, and the military horn rings."
"The sword has been unsheathed, and the thunder and lightning are lit."
"The brave will always win when we meet on a narrow road, move forward, move forward!"
······
Emperor Huangji believed that after the main force of Dahua East Expedition was transferred back to the Central Plains, the Prince of Dahua would not be able to launch an attack on Yamato in a short period of time. The Prince of Dahua, who had only 20,000 troops, did not have this ability.
But in fact, it was the Spring Festival of the three years of revival.
A New Year Festival that Japanese people also began to celebrate, but the Prince of Dahua did not give the soldiers on the Eastern Expedition a holiday. Prince Zhang Jing gave the soldiers a reward of military merits in the Eastern Expedition, and gave them a New Year's Day reward, and then asked to launch a Spring Festival offensive.
Zhang Jing issued an ultimatum to Emperor Huangji, causing her to surrender.
The Emperor Huangji Emperor Bao said disdainfully that the main force of the Great China Eastern Expedition was drawn back, and they even split the North Sea Fleet into four fleets. Now there is only one Korean fleet left in the Yamato Strait, and Tang Jin has only 20,000 Chinese troops.
The invaders were already scarce and had few generals and were weak, so they could not take action. No matter how rampant Dahua was, they would not really think that 20,000 troops could conquer Yamato.
On the first day of the New Year, the Ambassador of the Dahua Empire in Namba, Japan read out the declaration of war to Japan. In the previous battle, Dahua had not officially declared war on Japan, and the landing of Kawajin and others was just a response to the provocation of Japan.
But this time, the ambassador to Japan officially declared war on Japan, and Dahua officially started war on Japan.
This shocked the treasure princess.
She originally thought that Dahua transferred back to the main force of the Eastern Expedition to mean that the war might end.
No one expected that the Crown Prince Zhang Jing's Eastern Expedition Army had changed from 100,000 to 20,000, but he still declared war strongly. It was during this Spring Festival that made her unprepared.
The treasure princess was stunned and felt incredible.
"Can we hold on?"
Su-I, the Hokkien, was in a state of depressed spirit. The fall of the two major islands of Kyushu and Siguo made the whole country extremely shocked. No one was optimistic about this war anymore. They also truly realized that Dahua really wanted to destroy Japan.
In the past, they thought the sea was a barrier, but now the sea can no longer block Dahua.
"Maybe we can try to negotiate with Dahua!" This is the only way Suwo Xiayi thought of.
The princess shook her head.
"At this time, there will be no good results in the negotiations. We have no way out and can only continue to fight."
Xiaguan.
The westernmost end of Honshu Island, Xiaguan Port here is also an important port, and it is also the western starting point of the Shanyang Line and the Shanyin Line of Japan.
The five capitals and seven roads in Japan, seven of which are both administrative divisions and seven important national highways. The countries with Shanzhao have a major transportation route connecting various countries, called Shanyin Road 00. This road is considered to be relatively poor in the road conditions of the Japanese roads, but at least it is a national highway.
Xiaguan is the westernmost end of this Shanyin line. There is Xiaguan Port here, which is across the sea from Jiuzhou Island and is a strategic location. At the same time, Xiaguan is also the starting point of the western end of the Shanyang line.
Not long ago, the soldiers of Daming from Honshu Island, summoned by the Emperor of Japan, boarded the ship from here, sailed to Kawatsu, and then headed to Tsuma.
And now, it is still in Xiaguan Port.
Not long after, this important port was captured by the North Korean fleet in Dahua. It was said that it was a capture, but it was not very laborious. Several battleships of the North Korean fleet sailed near Xiaguan Port and bombed the Japanese soldiers who were not many on the shore with a ship.
After blowing up several wooden houses, the Japanese fled in panic.
Then Dahua's transport ships and landing crafts landed on the beach, and the Marines went ashore.
Just like an exercise, it was easy to take down this important Guangang.
The Japanese soldiers at Xiaguan were originally farmers summoned by local daimyos. They had no combat power and no one was willing to participate in the war. Daimyos could only force them to join the war with bows, arrows, swords and guns.
The Japanese soldiers who were temporarily recruited were not even weapons, so a few of them had a knife, and most of them had only one bamboo gun.
As for the bows and arrows, there are even fewer ones.
For many Japanese people, if they have a steel knife in their hands or can have a set of armor, even a set of leather armor, they can also increase their morale a lot.
They went to war empty-handedly and could not even have food guaranteed, which left them without the will to fight.
On the contrary, the Dahua army landed in Xiaguan was full of energy. They all had armor and weapons, and even had several weapons of length and shortness.
The Marine Corps had cavalry, infantry, artillery, chariots, and their equipment was extremely elite.
Different troops also have battle robes with different numbers and patterns on the outside of the armor.
When they marched, they lined up in neat rows and walked in a neat pace, and there were military bands beating drum beats. The soldiers marched while singing military songs.
They sang red flags and fluttered the army horns, and their swords were unsheathed, thunder and lightning. Such an army had scared the Japanese away with just the morale of the army.
What shocked many people from Xiaguan who had no time to escape was that such a highly morale and well-equipped army was not the Chinese army, but the Fusang militia composed of the Japanese.
Among those Japanese militiamen, there was even a militia unit from the Korean Peninsula, including a Silla Brigade, a Baekje Brigade, and even a Marine Brigade.
There are also Khitan brigades, Kumoxi brigades, Shiwei brigades, and Junmen brigades.
These are militia units from the Northeast that Dahua conquered in recent years, composed of soldiers from various ministries.
The seven militia brigades composed of tribes and peoples from various conquered areas in the Northeast were specially recruited and transferred to the Crown Prince Zhang Jing.
The use of these tribal militias is to avoid too many Japanese people in the hands of Prince Zhang Jing.
These seven brigades formed the 103rd Militia Division.
The prince's 20,000 regular troops were still in Jiuzhou, but he had sent out all three militia divisions. All three divisions landed in Xiaguan Port, the 101th Division attacked Shanyin, the 102th Division attacked Shanyang, and the 103th Division was the general reserve team and the supervisor team.
These militias composed of civilians from various departments have to learn Chinese in addition to combat training every day. They sing Dahua's military songs every day, not only sing when marching, but also queuing up to sing military songs during meals.
At Xiaguan Port, these militiamen who sang Dahua military songs and wore gray-green militia uniforms also had the same hairstyle as the Han people in Dahua. If they were not careful, they would think they were the Han soldiers of Dahua from a distance.
After landing in Xiaguan, three militia divisions quickly advanced eastward with the assistance of the North Korean fleet.
These militias from various tribes advanced rapidly under the order of the crown prince.
For the Japanese guardians of the two countries and the daimyos of various counties, this war that started in spring was simply caught off guard.
It was very cold, and the Japanese were not prepared for war. They were even hesitant in the face of Dahua's attack.
There are endless arguments over surrender or resistance.
The Japanese militia of the 101st Division and the 102nd Division were very fierce. Not long ago, they were as gentle as sheep. But now, under the leadership of the lion of Dahua, they have transformed from a sheep into a fully armed wolf.
They were aggressive and had high fighting spirit.
Because Dahua will reward you for your contributions, militia will receive military pay and allowances during combat and training. And when you perform bravely in combat, you will receive rewards. Even during war, after the seized spoils are returned to the public, a proportion will be given to the militia.
These greatly stimulated the Japanese militia. They used to fight for Daming, but they did not have such good treatment. They brought their own dry food to the battlefield, and they might not have any pensions if they died.
But Dahua was very generous to these Japanese militias, and they would be rewarded if they made meritorious services. The crown prince even announced that these Japanese militias could receive rewards for their fields after making meritorious services. The fields they rewarded were honorary fields, which could be inherited from generation to generation.
Under these inspirations, the barbarian militia were fighting with great enthusiasm and were unstoppable. They used the bodies of eight thousand Japanese soldiers to announce the victory of the Dahua Spring Offensive.
In just one month, the two Japanese militia divisions left far away from the 103rd militia division, cut the passes and broke the city, and captured Shanyang and Shanyin.
They were even proud of their victory, because they had defeated two sixteen countries and wiped out eight thousand enemies, and they only lost eight hundred people.
The one-to-ten loss of battle gave them a name for themselves.
"We are strong people and will definitely win!"
February, the third year of Dahua’s revival.
Crown Prince Zhang Jing landed on Honshu Island and came to the rumored Ishimi Yinshan.
After capturing this place, Shi Jian Yinshan welcomed people from the mining company. A large number of Japanese people were summoned to mine. After Zhang Jing watched Yinshan here, he expressed his confidence in capturing Japan as usual.
He believed that it would only take three months to completely capture Japan.
The Japanese militia were still marching straight in.
The only thing that can stop them now is the bad road in Japan.
In Japan, the Japanese militia division successfully learned the essence of the blitzkrieg of the Dahua army.
One after another, the country of order was broken.
Faced with the fierce Dahua army, Emperor Huangji and Suwo Yui could no longer sit still. They must now face a choice whether to surrender or escape.
The North Korean fleet was no longer willing to fall behind, so they rushed directly to Namba Port.
There is not much time left for Princess Bao and Suwo Ekima.
The Korean fleet was approaching Namba, the Shindu of Japan, and the two Japanese militia divisions were like two large clamps, launching the fiercest attack on the Kinai of Japan.
These Japanese people were well-equipped, especially with a large number of war horses, which made them move very quickly. Often, before the Japanese Daming could react, their peasants could not be summoned, and the Japanese militia were killed.
Yesterday, these militia were still a hundred miles away, but today they were already at the city.
Namba.
This new city has become a city of fear, and people are in panic all day long.
Rumors spread in the capital, and Dahua's army surrounded the land and land.
And just at a drizzle and slight dusk, the city of Namba suddenly became popular everywhere, and the Dahua Jinyiwei finally launched an action. It seemed that suddenly, Dahua's assassins were everywhere, and their killers were everywhere.
