The relentless bombing throughout the night finally caused the fragile city walls of the capital to begin to collapse. The buildings within the city were also affected by the flames from the explosions and burst into flames.
The remaining Japanese soldiers inside the city were completely terrified.
As the first light of dawn appeared on the eastern horizon, the large army outside the capital city began to eat breakfast.
The logistics troops also delivered ammunition supplies to the front lines.
After breakfast, at 7:30 a.m., the large army began its final assault on the capital of Japan.
After yesterday's fierce battle, the defenses of the entire capital city have completely collapsed. The Japanese army inside the city has suffered heavy casualties.
The continuous bombing last night, in particular, rendered the already fragile city walls of the capital completely useless.
After the main force launched its general offensive, it quickly broke through the dilapidated outer defenses.
"superior!"
A regimental commander shouted in a deep voice, "Seize the city wall immediately, and be quick!"
Under the command of the regimental commander, the vanguard rushed into the city and quickly occupied the city tower.
Several machine gunners carried the Yanning machine gun, set it up on the city wall, loaded it with ammunition belts, aimed it into the city, and began to pull the trigger.
Da da da!
Da da da!
Long tongues of fire spewed forth, like a venomous snake flicking its long forked tongue. The soldier was struck by the flames, blood splattering, and he died instantly.
After the army stormed the city, the situation in the entire capital became highly tense.
Some Japanese soldiers, hiding in a corner, had gloomy expressions.
"How come the army is so fierce?"
"We can't win!"
"Surrender now!"
...
Immediately, more and more Japanese soldiers chose to surrender in order to save their lives.
Those who surrender will not be killed!
Those who surrender will not be killed!
After rushing into the city, the soldiers of the Da Gan Army shouted loudly.
Under overwhelming firepower, the Japanese soldiers, gripped by fear and despair, began to surrender one after another.
As more and more Japanese soldiers surrendered, the fighting within the city proceeded more smoothly.
"One regiment, target: the Japanese palace!"
"Second Regiment, West Courtyard Palace!"
"Third regiment, Rensheng Temple!"
As soon as a series of orders were issued, the large number of soldiers in the city immediately charged toward the target.
Faced with the rampaging army, fear and despair spread throughout the capital city.
However, some Japanese samurai were still unwilling to accept this.
"Kill the chicken, please!"
These Japanese samurai, gripping their katana, roared as they tried to break through the encirclement of the Da Gan army.
However, they were met with scorching bullets!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Without hesitation, the army opened fire, bullets piercing the chests of these Japanese samurai, killing them all in an instant.
Seeing the Japanese samurai lying in pools of blood on the street, the Japanese soldiers behind them turned pale with fright.
These warriors were a good one or two hundred meters away from the main force, and they died before the main force could even see them clearly.
How can we fight a war like this?
With these precedents in mind, the other Japanese soldiers became even more fearful and uneasy.
Even Terauchi Haruo's eyes were filled with fear.
The Da Gan Army is too powerful; we simply can't defeat them!
"General, General..."
A servant ran up to Harumi Terauchi and asked, "What should we do? The West Palace is about to fall..."
At this moment, Haruo Terauchi was filled with grief and indignation, his heart ashen.
Haruo Terauchi also had no good solution for the West Inner Palace.
After all, the large army outside is really too powerful!
"What did the General say?"
After thinking for a while, Terauchi Haruo looked at his attendant and asked.
"General,"
The attendant shook his head and said, "There's no news from Mibu-ji Temple. We can't get in touch with the general."
"What?"
Haruo Terauchi felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
At that moment, a bad feeling welled up in his heart.
Mibu-dera Temple is not far from Saiin-gu Shrine. Now that even Saiin-gu Shrine has been attacked by a large army, Mibu-dera Temple will likely not escape unscathed!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just then, several grenades exploded inside the West Palace. The violent explosions pulled Terauchi Haruo back to reality.
As soon as he looked up, he saw a group of fully armed soldiers rushing in from the entrance of the West Courtyard Palace.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A dense hail of bullets pierced the bodies of several Japanese soldiers in front of them.
Seeing this, Haruo Terauchi was terrified.
"General, the Da Gan Army is amazing!"
Seeing this, the attendant said, "Why don't we surrender?"
"surrender?"
Terauchi Haruo gave a bitter laugh, sighed helplessly, and said, "Then surrender!"
After hearing Terauchi Haruo's words, the remaining Japanese soldiers in the West Palace threw down their weapons and surrendered.
After Terauchi Haruo surrendered, Nishiin-no-miya also quickly fell into the hands of the Daigan army.
Meanwhile, at Mibu-ji Temple...
Hearing the gunfire nearby, Tokugawa Kosuke looked gloomy and depressed, pacing back and forth anxiously.
Beside him, Hidemoto Mori also looked very downcast.
I fled from the Choshu Domain to the capital, but I never imagined I would still meet my end. If only I had surrendered to the Daikan Army back in Choshu.
Perhaps, he can still save his life.
Yes, surrender!
Hidemoto Mori's eyes darted around, glancing at Kosuke Tokugawa beside him.
