Chapter 186 Attack!

Before launching an attack on the Great East Gate, that is, when the war machine has not started, Nomu Hidian still has a chance to brake.

Nogi Xidian understands that once the war machine is launched, it is difficult to brake, or even impossible! Even if he is the commander, he can't calm down the beast of war!

War beasts will bring supreme glory to a person and will also put a person into the bottomless abyss!

Nomu Xidian was stabiously to and from the headquarters in Jianshan.

In the distance, the big east gate in the morning light emitted a seductive red light, as if wavoking to Nomu Xidian.

He suddenly found that he would become so weak and indecisive.

In Lushun, when his troops were in a desperate situation, he did not hesitate so much.

Finally, he had to admit that there was only one reason for his weakness and hesitation - in his heart, he had an indelible fear of Zhou Charter, the enemy!

It was a sense of fear that made him hesitate!

This terrible idea made Noki Hiden more anxious. The proud Japanese have always looked down on the Qing Dynasty, but now, Kisuke Nogi is actually afraid of a general of the Qing Dynasty!

This is a shame!

"What's going on with the enemy?" Nogi asked in a low voice.

"There is no movement in the direction of Dadongmen, Dananmen and so on!" Chief Shintaro Suzuki, the director of the Operations Department, said. After the arrest of Mitsuomi, Nokiori simply served as the chief of staff and monopolized himself. In doing so, no one could restrict him. However, he violated the principles of the modern army. Without the army of staff, it was the medieval shogunate army! Facts have long proved that such an army is not qualified for modern warfare!

Nogi's inner warlord habits made him degenerate into a medieval dictator!

"I'm talking about our rear, Yizhu, Taibao, Jiayi, and Changhua!"

"Your Excellency, the front line of Yizhu, Taibao, Jiayi and Changhua, has been under the absolute control of our army. It turns out that the enemy on this front has been defeated by our army."

"Defeat?" Nogi Xidian suddenly shuddered: "That is to say, it has not been eliminated!"

"This..." Suzuki Shintaro said, "Yes!"

A layer of cold sweat appeared on Nomu Xijian's back. Only then did he find that the Japanese army sang triumphantly all the way from Chiayi to Tainan, but in fact, it did not eliminate any of the established troops of the Zhang army!

Where are those troops?

Did they disperse or reassem together somewhere?

"Commander, according to past experience, most of the defeated Taiwan democracies army will automatically disperse and disappear, and will no longer pose a threat to our army!"

"They are not the army of Taiwan's democracies!" Nogi Xidian shouted, "Where is Shenwei Mitsumi?"

Suzuki Shintaro looked blankly at Noriki: "Commander, Kamio Mitsumi has been arrested and is imprisoned in Taipei."

Nomu Xidian was in a panic. Unconsciously, he actually regarded Shenwei Guangchen as his dependence. When he hesitated, he actually shouted out Shenwei Guangchen's name.

Nomu Xidian exhaled and covered the embarrassment on his face: "I asked, how is this guy doing in prison?"

Suzuki Shintaro said, "The day before yesterday, after our army broke through the Yizhu defense line, Kamio Mitsutomi once asked for a pot of wine."

"Celebrate the victory of our army?"

"No..." Shintaro Suzuki stopped talking.

"Eight grids, say it!"

Shintaro Suzuki whispered, "He said that he was paying tribute to the commander and the 50,000-day officers and soldiers in advance!"

"Eight grids!" Nogi was furious. Since he came to Taiwan, Nogi found that he, the king of Taiwan, seemed to live in the shadow of Shenwei Guangchen. In the army, Shenwei Guangchen's prestige exceeded him, and the soldiers' respect for the major general Shenwei Guangchen was much higher than that of him as a commander!

And now, the god-tailed Guangchen, who is trapped in prison, is still so arrogant! How dare you treat him as a dead man!

Nomu Xidian gritted his teeth and shouted, "The divine tail Mitsumi has an affair with Zhou Charter! Sell your motherland, order, and execute the death penalty immediately!"

Suzuki Shintaro was stunned and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, Mitsumi Kamio is the chief of staff appointed by the base camp. He must be tried by the military court and reported to His Majesty the Emperor..."

"I will be outside, and your life will not be accepted!" Nomu Xidian could no longer tolerate the containment of him by the base camp. He even thought that Kamio Mitsushin was the base camp that was placed beside him to get along with him!

Suzuki Shintaro was silent for a moment and said, "Commander, I understand your feelings. In fact, Kamio Mitsuomi dares to do so because he does not believe that the commander can break through Tainan, capture Zhou Charter and establish immortal achievements! In the humble view, the commander should let him live and see with your own eyes establish immortal merit. It may be better to do so than to kill him.

"Good! I want him to see that I am right!" Nomu Xidian looked up to the sky and laughed: "Order the whole army to launch an attack immediately!"

"Yes!"

At 7:00 a.m. on October 15, 1895, the Japanese army launched a full attack on the Great East Gate, the Great South Gate and the Little West Gate after waiting for an hour!

Rain-like shells broke the suffocating silence.

......

The artillery preparation lasted for half an hour and blew up the bunker in front of the earthquake square fort outside the Great East Gate into a piece of scorched earth. The battery body can't withstand ten shells, but the fort made of three soil is so strong that it doesn't even collapse a single corner.

The earthquake fort is actually an auxiliary fort. It is located in the southeast of the Xunfang fort, that is, in front of the side. The fort is one size smaller than the Xunfang fort, and can only accommodate about 100 defense forces on it. The main role of the earthquake fort is to assist the main fort of the Xun fort to attack the enemy attacking the Great East Gate. Side attack. Two German Krper 15cm cannons are installed on the fort, with a firepower of up to 1,000 meters, which is enough to provide fire support to the Xun fort. In addition, a battalion of the 103rd Regiment of Zhangjun, which was responsible for guarding the earthquake fort, set up three Gatling machine guns on the fort. In the bunker in front of the fort, there were two Maxim heavy machine guns to guard the fort.

According to Wu Peifu's deployment, the main task of the left-wing position with the earthquake fort as the core is to provide fire support for the Xunfang fort. If necessary, launch a side assault on the Japanese army attacking the Great East Gate. Therefore, in the deployment of the first division, the earthquake fort is not the main defense direction. There is only one battalion and an artillery company, with a total strength of about 1,000 people.

However, Suchen Yamaguchi, the commander of the Third Brigade of the Japanese Second Division, who attacked the Great East Gate, keenly found that the earthquake fort was the weakness of the defenders!
