.........

The decisive battle in Kyoto is not only related to whether our emperor's personal army can gain a foothold in Japan, but also to whether our emperor Ming can avenge the Japanese suffrage for a hundred years.

Before the war, the base camp organized a propaganda team for the Japanese pirates to harm our Emperor Ming. Through a review of history, the propaganda team deeply imprinted the poison of the Japanese pirates on our coastal people and the vassal states in the heads of every officer and soldier. The hard life of Japanese officers and soldiers under the brutal shogunate rule also aroused the hatred of the imperial soldiers towards the shogunate.

Therefore, during the battle, countless combat heroes emerged in the imperial army, and more of them were Japanese officers and soldiers.

In the battle I personally experienced to chase the Japanese chieftain Tokugawa Iemitsu, a hero played a decisive role.

This hero sacrificed his precious life to complete the mission. He is the outstanding squadron leader of the 1st squadron of the Second Battalion of the Fourth Infantry Regiment, Mimako Miku, a Hakushima.

In January of the 47th year of Wanli, after waiting for half a month, the various departments received orders from the military headquarters. The great military supervisor, Eunuch Wei, finally decided to launch a decisive general attack on Kyoto, Japan.

At that time, I served as the combat staff of the Kyoto Expeditionary Army. In order for each regiment to better execute orders, I went to the Second Battalion of the Fourth Regiment to do coordination work.

This is also my first time working from the agency to the front-line combat force, so I was very excited. What I didn’t expect was that after I arrived at the front-line combat force, the first order I received was to cooperate with the friendly troops to block the road to Tokugawa Iemitsu to escape to Kyoto!

When it comes to Tokugawa Iemitsu, everyone in Japan knows that this guy is the eldest son of the Japanese chief Hidetachi Tokugawa and the prince of the Japanese kingdom.

It is said that Iemitsu's grandfather Ieyasu gave the nickname "Take Chiyo" to his eldest grandson, which means that Iemitsu could become the third general of the shogunate.

In order to regain the southwestern defense line of Kyoto occupied by our army, Tokugawa Iemitsu was assigned by his father Tokugawa Hidetaka and led a force composed of more than 10,000 Japanese troops to attack our Guard Division.

From the division's information, we learned that the Japanese army led by Tokugawa Iemitsu was the most elite "Free Army" in the shogunate. This "Free Army" was equivalent to the personal guards of the Japanese chief Hidetachi Tokugawa, and was also called the Sanfan Group by the Japanese. That is, the Dafan Group, the Academy Group and the Xiaoxian Group. The groups were all composed of the Hachimoto and his children, very loyal and very brave.

If you have to compare, then this "French Army" may be equivalent to the Beijing camp of our Imperial Ming Empire, or to the Guard Division.

In order to smash the Japanese army's attack and completely cross the enemy, the army headquarters organized three infantry gangs, cavalry gangs, artillery gangs and some special samurai attack teams in our division. A unit of the Taiwan Imperial Army launched a resolute counterattack against Tokugawa Iemitsu.

The battle lasted for two days and two nights. I heard that when the battle was at its most intense, our great military supervisor, Eunuch Wei, came to the personal line to encourage the soldiers, and several times wanted to lead the troops to kill them.

With the encouragement of Eunuch Wei and setting an example, our soldiers fought bravely and severely damaged Tokugawa Iemitsu's foreign soldiers. On the high ground where the battle was most intense, the corpses of the Japanese soldiers were not standing upside down, but piled up corpses. The blood stained the land red and the stream turned red.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was scared by the courage of our Imperial Army. He had never seen a tenacious army since he was born. He knew that it was difficult to save the situation of the war, so he chose to retreat.

The movements of the Japanese army could not escape the eyes of our great Wei Dynasty. He immediately ordered to intercept Tokugawa Iemitsu at all costs.

When my unit received the order, Tokugawa Iemitsu was already retreating.

I think the Fourth Infantry Regiment of our country has been serving as the second wave of attack troops since landing in Japan. Therefore, it has not competed with the Central Army of Japan. It only cooperated with friendly and neighboring troops to clear out some enemies that had missed the net and was responsible for maintaining local security in the occupied areas.

Therefore, those guys who played forward in front joked that our Fourth Army was a Women's Army. So after hearing that the division commanded our troops to intercept Tokugawa Iemitsu, everyone gritted their teeth and vowed to make a name for themselves in one battle, so that those arrogant guys could see if our Fourth Infantry Regiment was a Women.

The captain of the regiment, Mr. Yamamoto, made a harsh statement at the officer meeting that anyone who fails to complete the task must be cut off his own stomach like a man, and make the reputation of the regiment complete the regiment.

On the 24th, the second brigade where I was and the special attack brigade composed of surrendered Japanese samurai were on standby at a temple called Amito Temple.

After receiving the order, the captain Dong Dahai hurriedly ordered the officers and soldiers to march lightly and rushed to Tsurazawa Gang to intercept Tokugawa Iekima who was running towards Kyoto.

After receiving the order, the officers and soldiers had not finished their breakfast, and they gathered in a stick of incense. The second squadron leader Mimako Kojima had already led the second squadron to set out first.

In a battle not long ago, Kojima-kun was injured, but he insisted on not going to the rear hospital, saying that this battle was related to whether the empire could destroy the evil shogunate and save his relatives, so unless he fell down, he would definitely fight to the end.

After the Second Squadron set off, the rest of the brigade officers and soldiers also set off immediately. The Cavalry Regiment has allocated a team of scouts in our unit, and they have already been reconnaissance in the direction of Kyoto.

After an hour of rapid march, our troops arrived at Iika, the main road leading to Kyoto. At this time, the cavalry reconnaissance reported that Tokugawa Iegum's troops were less than ten miles away and were fleeing along the road.

At that time, Captain Dong considered it impossible to intercept the enemy near Iigang, so he ordered the second squadron to penetrate another important road, Changshiyuan.

Judging from the map provided by the division, the enemy and us are almost the same. The second squadron, which has always been known as the Scud, must be able to rush in front of the enemy and intercept the escaped enemy.

I deeply agree with this. I always remember Eunuch Wei’s instruction in the Infantry Practice - Time is the key to determining victory or defeat.

At noon, after unremitting efforts of the officers and soldiers, the second squadron finally arrived at Changshiyuan.

The terrain is favorable. There is a large cemetery to the west, with sparse trees growing in the middle, and a narrow river nearby. The terrain is ideal for guarding.

Considering that the escaped enemy had cavalry, the island squadron leader immediately organized soldiers to build simple fortifications and collected branches and hay. In this way, after the enemy arrived, he could use the burned branches and hay to slag the enemy's cavalry and use smoke to confuse the enemy.

At the same time, the captain of the island also asked the people in the kitchen to use wooden barrels to get water from the river, and kept splashing it on a road less than 100 meters. He also used iron shovels to dig around, and at the same time ordered people to lay mines, which made the road not only very muddy, but also very dangerous.

In this way, the enemy can be delayed. The island squadron leader is such a smart person.

Before half of the fortifications were completed, soldiers discovered that the overwhelming Japanese army troops had arrived.

At this time, our army had only more than 200 second squadrons from the island, and the large army had not arrived yet. Although the enemy was severely damaged by friendly and neighboring troops, it was led by the prince of the Japanese king and had a personal army, so there were probably no less than thousands of people.

The enemy and us have a huge gap in strength.

But everyone in the Second Squadron was brave and vowed to live and perish with the position.

After the enemy arrived, they found that the escape route had been blocked and destroyed by our army, so they launched a fierce attack on our army with cavalry.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "the enemy who loses his way" is not pursued. You can imagine how fierce the attack of the enemy who blocks the escape route is.

Due to the huge gap in military strength between the enemy and us, the battle was fierce from the beginning.

The captain of Kojima knew that the task was heavy on his shoulders. Since the large army had not arrived yet, the place was less than thirty miles away from Kyoto. Once he relaxed, the enemy might escape. So he always commanded the soldiers to fight to the death on the front line, repelling the enemy's cavalry again and again.

During the enemy's inflicted attack, Japanese soldiers' iron guns hit the shoulder of the island's squadron leader, blood gushed out, dyeing the military uniform red.

In order to command the battle, Kojima supported himself and stood up. While pointing his command knife at the enemy, he shouted loudly: "Kill the Japanese pirates, kill the Japanese pirates!"

At that moment, he completely regarded himself as the Emperor Ming’s people!

Under the command of the island, the officers and soldiers of the second squadron fired at the enemy with fierce firepower, and the large pole guns and grenades pressed the enemy tightly. There were hundreds of corpses and horses falling down on the road.

The enemy who was eager to escape went crazy in despair, and the black Japanese soldiers launched even more fierce attacks, and flags of various colors emerged from time to time on the road and on both sides of the road.

Inside, there were even masked Japanese generals rushing to the battlefield.

In another attack to repel the enemy, Kojima was injured again, but he still couldn't bear to fall.

He knew that he could not fall down no matter what, and he had to hold on.

Second Squadron, the second Squadron!

Since its establishment, the Second Squadron has fought against the Jurchen rebels and the Korean bandits. They believe that they are the strongest soldiers, so they are proving themselves with their blood!

Officers and soldiers, people fell from time to time.

"For the Empire!"

Kojima stood up again and again, insisted on commanding the battle, and shot at the enemy desperately. He was injured for the third time and was in danger.

How long can the hero's blood last?

In the end, the captain of the island who had lost too much blood fell down.

But at this time, my brigade officers and soldiers arrived, and then the main force of the corps arrived!

The red military flags gather in Changshiyuan in all directions.

I saw Kojima Jun who was dying. Maybe he felt my arrival. He actually opened his eyes and stared at me motionlessly. Finally, he held my hand and said faintly: "Being a Chinese, being a... a soldier of the empire, what an honor I have in my life..."

After saying that, he closed his eyes.

I cried.

Due to the heroic fighting of the officers and soldiers of the Second Squadron, the enemy was successfully blocked, and they also won the time for our army to win.

The main force of our regiment surrounded the enemy from the west and south. The already terrified Japanese army shrank into a group, and could not advance in front or retreat in the back. It was already on the verge of collapse.

At about the time of the Shen period, friendly troops arrived one after another, surrounded the Japanese army like an iron barrel before dusk.

At this time, Tokugawa Iemitsu and his thousands of remaining soldiers were hard to escape!

The stalemate was late at night, and Tokugawa Ie-kun sent people to our army to request peace talks.

The division did not dare to make a decision and quickly reported to the military headquarters. Just as our army was anxiously waiting for orders from above, the great Eunuch Wei actually appeared in front of the officers and soldiers in the dark.

The father-in-law, who was wearing imperial bullfighting uniform, looked very embarrassed, covered in mud, and even bruised on his face reflected by the flames, and a big bag on his forehead.

Needless to say, this must have been the father-in-law who fell while on the road.

Ah, what a great father-in-law, what a worshipable father-in-law.

Where a father-in-law is there, it must be the most reassuring place in the world.

The Imperial Army is always worthy of the trust of my father-in-law;

My father-in-law is always worthy of allegiance to the Imperial Army.

I quietly stepped forward and handed the towel to my father-in-law. My father-in-law picked it up and wiped it on his face, then smiled at me.
Chapter completed!
