Chapter 465 The Battle of Hirado

The next morning, the allied forces were all up and eating in the camp.

Last night was unusually quiet; no large-scale night raid by the army occurred.

This made Kabayama Hisataka sneer repeatedly, thinking to himself: These big troops are indeed weak, they have even stopped doing their best night raids.

That's fine, I'll let you go into the sea in a bit!

Before long, the allied forces had finished their meal and were ready.

Hearing his confidant's report, Kabayama Hisataka's expression turned solemn. Gazing at the distant wilderness, he shouted in a deep voice, "Kill the chicken!"

With Kabayama Hisataka's order given, the Allied forces began to advance toward the Daigan army's position.

Across the vast wilderness, over 90,000 allied troops stretched out a long battle line, a magnificent and imposing sight!

The heavy footsteps pounded on the ground, causing the entire earth to tremble slightly.

When the allied forces launched their general offensive, it was naturally seen by the main force.

"Get into the trenches! Prepare for battle!"

Commanders blew their bugles and shouted loudly.

After finishing their meal, the soldiers went into the trenches, picked up their weapons, and began a final inspection.

Meanwhile, the Beiyang Fleet, anchored at sea, also witnessed the actions of the Allied forces on land.

The ships adjusted their course, their dark cannons aimed at the Japanese allied forces on land.

Gradually, the distance between the Japanese Allied Forces and the main force was getting closer and closer. As soon as the dark mass of the Japanese Allied Forces entered the range of the ship's guns, they were spotted by Ding Xianda, the commander of the Beiyang Fleet, on the bridge.

Ding Xianda lowered his binoculars, pointed at the Japanese Allied Forces on the distant land, and roared in a deep voice: "Target: Japanese Allied Forces, bombardment!"

Immediately, the flag bearer on the bridge waved his flag and relayed the orders.

Before long, all ships of the Beiyang Fleet received the order.

Under the lookout's command, the gunners began adjusting the parameters of the ship's guns. After the adjustments were completed, the assistant gunners loaded the shells into the breech.

"emission!"

At the commander's order, the gunner pulled the breech.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

With a series of piercing shrieks, shells shot from the cannon barrels, flying into the air. They traced arcs through the air before falling towards the Allied Japanese forces on land.

The piercing screams in the air naturally alerted the Allied Forces of Japan.

"What happened?"

Tadatsune Okubo frowned, gazing at the sky filled with countless black dots, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

What's this?

However, before Tadatsune Okubo could figure it out, the black dot in the sky gradually grew larger and fell towards the ground.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, a deafening explosion rang out. The shockwave from the explosion knocked dozens of Japanese Allied soldiers to the ground. Countless shrapnel fragments flew out in a 360-degree arc, and some unsuspecting Japanese Allied soldiers were hit by shrapnel, instantly becoming mangled and torn to pieces.

In a short time, huge holes had appeared in the formation of the Japanese allied forces. Around the holes, bloodstains and severed limbs were scattered.

this……

Tadatsune Okubo's eyes widened in shock, and his expression became flustered.

These are the artillery pieces of the Great Gan Army!

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

A moment later, Tadatsune Okubo shouted, "Take cover from the Da Gan Army's shells!"

However, no matter how loudly Okubo Tadatsune roared, it was almost impossible for the dense army to disperse.

Just then, a shrill shriek echoed through the air once again.

This completely threw all the Japanese Allied Forces soldiers into a panic.

Having witnessed the power of the first round of artillery fire, these Japanese soldiers all took off and rushed forward.

They knew that once they got past this distance, the shells wouldn't hit them.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Shells rained down on the Japanese army's formation, the sound of cannons echoing across the open field, and countless Japanese soldiers died on the spot.

The Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to survive the bombing were also shouting incoherently.

At that very moment, the artillery regiments of the 31st and 32nd Infantry Divisions of the Dagan Army in the distant Tianping area also began to roar.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The dense barrage of shells, like hailstones falling from the sky, rained down on this side.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The earth shook violently, and the sound of intense explosions was clearly audible. Clusters of fire erupted among the Japanese army, leaving them mangled and torn to pieces.

Countless Japanese soldiers were killed on the spot before they could even react.

Each shell, like a giant plowshare, carved blood-stained paths through the wilderness.

The intense bombing lasted for half an hour.

Before the 90,000-strong allied army even reached the Da Gan Army's position, they had already suffered heavy casualties.

"Baka yarou!"

Looking at the situation on the battlefield in the distance, Hisataka Kabayama's face was gloomy as he roared.

How far are we from the main force's position?

Kabayama Hisataka demanded, "Why are you so slow? Speed ​​it up! Kill the chicken, please!"

Kabayama Hisataka roared angrily.

"Hai!"

The trusted confidant beside him quickly responded.

However, no matter how angry Kabayama Hisataka was, it was almost impossible for him to rush through the artillery fire quickly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After suffering heavy losses under a barrage of artillery fire, the Allied Forces of Japan finally managed to reach the front of the Da Gan Army's position.
