Many times, people tend to do bad things consciously or unconsciously.

For example, during the First World War, the French hero Henry Philippe Betan, during the Second World War, facing the raging German forces, Beitang did not fight to the end as during the First World War, but chose to The Germans cooperated to form the Vichy government to help Germany rule over France.

From a French standpoint, such an act by Petain was a complete rebellion against France. It should be tried in court and then sent to the guillotine.

In fact, in Pedan's view, France had already shed its blood and had no ability to compete with Germany at all. Therefore, cooperation may well be that Pedan is defending French interests in its own way. From this standpoint, Pedan should not be a traitor, at least he does not think so.

From the standpoint of Ryukyu, Pan Tingzhen is also a "traitor". Although Pan Tingzhen turned to the Steed Group to save Ryukyu from the calamity in view of the hands of Japan, but in the face of the strength of the Steed Group, Ryukyu is also trying to escape.

Of course, if you stand on the Chinese side, this is not a bad thing, at least for the Chinese in Ryukyu.

Although Bai Qi's strength is not so wonderful for Pan Tingzhen, Bai Qi, as the person in charge of the military, has a unique vision in war.

According to Bai Qi's plan, from April 1st, Tokugawa led the first division to launch an attack from Kumamoto and Miyazaki in two directions like Kyushu Island.

For Chinese in the 21st century, "Kumamoto" is a place name to be remembered.

During the period of militarism, Japan often had another nickname because of its unique method of recruiting troops, such as the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army, which had another name and was called the Kumamoto Division.

The Sixth Division was the main force to carry out the Nanjing Massacre. It can be said that for the Chinese, the crimes committed by the Sixth Division were beyond description, even with the place name Kumamoto, it is worth remembering by all Chinese.

It is interesting that one of the troops led by Tokugawa Liyan also named "Kumamoto". This is the first brigade of the First Division, and it is also called the Kumamoto brigade.

The unit responsible for attacking Kumamoto was the Kumamoto Brigade. The brigade was headed by Chinese American Miller.

There was no Nanjing Massacre in this time and space, so the place name Kumamoto did not have any special memory points for Miller. Like previous battles, Miller issued combat orders in accordance with Bai Qi ’s deployment, and did not mix too much. Multiple emotions.

"Since ancient times, the Kumamoto area has been strong and sturdy. Most of the people here are engaged in manual labor such as miners and agriculture. Therefore, we should be cautious in attacking the Kumamoto area. If we encounter resistance, we should destroy all rebels with thunder and thunder. Effectiveness. "Staff Tanaka is a rare Japanese officer in the Kumamoto brigade. Tanaka's attitude is more intense than that of Mille and Chinese.

In order to maintain the harmony on the surface and make the First Division look more like a Japanese army, the First Division used a large number of Japanese staff members. They were all supporters of the Shogunate, and a considerable part of them were professional officers. Some have even studied abroad, and Tanaka is the best among them.

"We are the Kumamoto brigade. If we kill too much in Kumamoto, I am afraid it hurts ..." The first United Alliance captain, Anthony, falsely said.

Anthony was also of Chinese descent. He participated in the Cuban War of Independence, the Battle of Montana, and the Battle of the Restoration of the Ryukyu Kingdom. He was one of the oldest in the first division.

"To deal with the rebels, we don't need any sympathy, please let the kings let go and do it. In the end, you will get applause and flowers." Tanaka Yoshihide vowed, and strongly encouraged the Kumamoto brigade to fight.

Miller and Anthony exchanged an unspoken look, and nodded at the same time, believing Tanaka's suggestion.

Anyone with a good eye can see that in this war, the Ryukyu government will be the ultimate winner. By then, Tokugawa will say that he will become a new generation of shoguns in Japan.

By that time, Tokugawa was still facing a new issue: whether he could get the support of the Japanese.

Therefore, Tokugawa's arrogance inevitably requires some minor actions, such as inciting the First Division to launch a killing ring in Japan. This will of course add more grievances to the war, but it will also help Tokugawa's arrogance after the war.

This is the ethics of politicians. For power, they can even sell their families without hesitation.

Such tricks may not be noticed by Miller and Anthony, but they can't hide the old foxes like Pan Tingzhen, so Pan Tingzhen had already reminded Bai Bai that he must be more vigilant against Tokugawa's words.

It is a pity that Pan Tingzhen's reminder did not arouse Bai Qi's vigilance. Perhaps from Bai Qi's point of view, Japan under Tokugawa's solemn rule could not pose any threat to the Steed Group, plus Li Mu's usual aversion to the Japanese, so Even if they knew that Tokugawa was digging a pit, they would jump happily.

The war officially started at 8 a.m. on April 1st. Before the official start of the offensive, it was a three-hour long fire preparation.

It sounds longer than three hours. In fact, it is normal in this era. However, during the World War, when Germany and France launched the war, the time for firepower preparation was usually based on "weeks". So three Hours are really nothing.

"This level of fire strike should completely destroy the confidence of the rebels ..." Looking at the orange flames on the distant positions, Tanaka was relieved and envious of the artillery possessed by the Ryukyu army.

In fact, artillery strikes of this level seemed to be uncommon to Chinese officers at the scene. In the late period of the Cuban War of Independence, artillery coverage was already a conventional means of the army. It was used to destroy the enemy ’s vigor and clear obstacles for its own troops. .

By the time of the Montana campaign, the scale of fire preparation was larger and the effect was more violent. Chinese officers have long been accustomed to it. Even without the assistance of artillery, many officers have no idea how to fight.

"It's best to destroy it completely. It doesn't matter if you don't do your best. I always think that only bayonets can make the enemy feel real fear." Miller is not as optimistic as Tanaka and actually faces a prepared enemy, the Artillery Institute. The role it can play is also extremely limited.

Of course, the Japanese army on the other side is definitely not "prepared." Although the Japanese army has long known that the Ryukyu army is about to launch an offensive, the Japanese army lacks sufficient experience with such "unknown" things like artillery. It is clear that the opposite position has begun to collapse, some people are running around like headless flies, and even more people are escaping from artillery coverage.

"Order the infantry to attack ..." Miller's order was timely, seizing the enemy's chaos, ordering the infantry to attack immediately, completely defeating the enemy.

A sharp whistle sounded ...

Before the Cuban War of Independence, the U.S. forces used the same British troops when they fought, and they were not afraid of death during the battle. They lined up neatly, using whistle and snare drums to maintain their formation and launch continuous attacks on the enemy.

This method has continued in history until the First World War, and it was still widely used when the First World War began.

During the Cuban Independence War, George Dewey obeyed Li Mu's suggestion and adopted a skirmish line during the battle to achieve a great record and achieved George Dewey's reputation.

This is in East Asia and sometimes in Japan. Even if it is clear that there are more advanced tactics, Bai Qi will not take it out to train troops, so the first division's battle still uses this ancient method.

Someone once said that the Japanese army is the best army in the world.

Although this sentence is biased, it also proves to a certain extent that the Japanese military is indeed unique.

The Japanese army's most worth emphasizing is their excellent obedience. This is the personality of the Japanese. Even if they hit the south wall, they may not turn back. For the Japanese, life is often compared to command. A secondary status, such a character, often results in a narrow personality, but for an army that does not need thought, such a character can not be better.

However, such a character may be able to create a good fighter, but to say the best, that may not be the case. The Japanese character is usually low-key and restrained, but when they are stimulated, they will become manic and even go crazy. Such troops are actually terrible. Sometimes, they are really easy to use, but their hidden dangers are greater, just like the unstable smokeless gunpowder in the black gunpowder era. It is really easy to use if nothing happens. Once something goes wrong, it often hurts others.

In the use of the Japanese army, Bai Qi and Miller did not have too much scruples. After all, it was on Japanese soil. Even if the First Division lost control, it would also hurt the Japanese. Bai Qi and Miller would not Regard the life and death of the Japanese.

Compared with the First Division, the Meiji government ’s army was indeed vulnerable. According to information provided by Tokugawa before the war, the Meiji government ’s army was generally equipped with breech guns, and even the presence of rifle guns. Cold weapons It has not completely retired from service. Compared with the First Division using a burst rifle, the Meiji government ’s army seems to come from the last century.

The generation gap of the weapon is reflected on the battlefield, and the result is one side of the war.

After the infantry of the First Division was put on the battlefield, the collapse of the Meiji government's army was even more obvious. In the face of the first division of the Meiji government, where the clothing was tightly adjusted, the Meiji government's counterattack was extremely limited, even at a distance of 300 meters. Government soldiers started firing blindly. For the range of the breech gun, this distance was a little difficult.

Under the control of the whistle and snare drum, the infantry of the First Brigade took neat steps. Although the speed was not fast, the attitude of advancing was extremely resolute. The war in this period was called "the warrior's decisive battle." At the time of the decisive battle, the warring parties will use this method to approach each other in accordance with the habit. Even if it is raining with guns and forests, even if the comrades around them keep falling, as long as the whistle and the snare drum continue, the troops will continue to advance and approach. The shot will not be fired until the freckles on the other side can be seen clearly.

Without courage, it is impossible to face this pressure at all. The tactics and personal abilities emphasized by future generations will not play much of a role in this era. "Courage" is the key factor that determines victory or defeat.

Fortunately for Japanese, it seems that there is never a lack of "courage". The reason why this courage is quoted is related to the madness in the Japanese character, because it is too paranoid and is actually not commendable, but put it here Under the current circumstances, it is indeed a rare quality. If it was not for this "courage", in the past history, Japan, as a small projectile country, probably did not have the confidence to confront the United States at that time.

Compared with the First Brigade, the military performance of the Meiji government was much worse. In the face of the approaching soldiers of the First Brigade, after the initial confusion, the Meiji government's position finally reluctantly kicked by the officer's scolding. Formed a front, also launched an attack on the first brigade.

The weapon once again played a key role. The firing rifle using the new smokeless powder was far higher in range than the rifle equipped by the Meiji government forces. The line formed by the Meiji government forces just stepped out of the trenches. The soldiers immediately entered the combat state under the command of the officer, preparing for firing, especially the machine guns equipped by the First Brigade.

In order to strengthen the firepower, the First Brigade was equipped with a large number of light machine guns. These light machine guns could be charged along with the infantry. For the infantry, the impact of the position of the machine gun was equivalent to death. In World War I, Britain and France Coalition forces lost 70,000 people in one day in the Somme.

When seeing the Meiji government troops trembling, Miller put down his telescope.

The general situation is set, just wait quietly for the battle report.

"It is estimated that after today, the Meiji government forces will not have the courage to confront us positively, and we will not get too many captives." Miller was still quite sorry.

"Don't worry about the captive issue. If the general is worried that there is not enough force, then I can assure the general that as long as we occupy Kumamoto, there will be as much force as possible, so please also try your best to eliminate these rebels as much as possible. In this battle, we will completely break the self-confidence of the rebels and lay a good foundation for us to continue to move forward. "Tanaka didn't worry about killing too much. For the rulers of the Shogunate period, the lives of the untouchables did not need to worry. of.

In the process of the Meiji government overthrowing the shogunate, the clan of middle and lower rank warriors played a key role. The current Meiji government army is mainly composed of these middle and lower rank warriors, so Tanaka is very resentful to the Meiji government army. If possible, Tanaka hopes to destroy all Meiji government forces, which will be conducive to the next rule of Tokugawa.
