C437 indiscriminate bombing (1/2)

After a night of chaos, Na Ba only gradually calmed down at 3 o'clock. Hundreds of thousands of civilians and soldiers were enjoying a rare moment of peace. However, this peace was broken by the sound of gunfire after only three hours.

At six in the morning, as the sun rose, the French Fleet began their plan to bombard Yue Yang.

”Glory, Zodiac, Roman, Gauls … Wandering in the sea outside Naha Harbor's mouth, responsible for bombing the cities... ”Everyone, remember, give up on the military goal and start bombing the city...”

”Holiness, Sea God, Pious, Gale …” ”Disengage from the territorial waters and begin to bombard the island. Attack all targets that pose a threat without distinction …”

”The construction of the Guotou Village Army is done with defense, without any orders, you can't attack without permission …”

”The entire army will bear in mind that from now on 24 hours of indiscriminate bombing, the civilian target first, the military target second... ”This time, we will not hold back on the ammunition. We will make them remember it for the rest of their lives …”

The flagship Glory began to issue orders one by one. As the order was given, the French Fleet took off the last of the shameful cloth and started to open fire at the commoners.

Glory s, up and down the three floors, opened all of the cannons on the shooting deck, and over seventy cannons simultaneously shot out, blowing up the streets in the vicinity of the Boss Mi into a sea of fire.

Soon after, the other warships also chose their targets and began to bombard them. Business district, warehouse district, civilian residential district … Even Smoky Willow Lane had not escaped calamity. The only exceptions were all the cannons, trenches, military camps and palaces in the Ryukyu.

Boss Mi was woken up by the earthquake like shaking and rumbling of cannons. Last night, the ruckus caused by the explosion was too late, so fortunately, Boss Mi did not return to the forest to hide, but stayed behind in the shop.

The citizens couldn't be blamed for being careless. Indeed, during these four days, most of the French artillery was focused on military targets, and most of the civilian areas were relatively safe. No matter what, the comfort level of the houses in the city was definitely better than digging through the forest deep in the mountains.

”What's going on? ”Why did it explode so early today …” When the slumbering Boss Mi opened the door, the scene in front of him shocked him.

The silk villa at the end of the street was there last night, but today it has turned into a sea of fire. Screams could be heard from the dancing flames.

”Hurry up and save them …” ”Hurry up and save them …” Boss Mi shouted as he rushed forward. However, after running only three or four steps, he suddenly heard a boom from behind him.

The entire world spun before Boss Mi's eyes, his ears were filled with sharp cries, and dark red blood flowed out from his hair, covering his face like a waterfall.

At this time, Boss Mi no longer had the concept of time. He didn't know how much time had passed before he finally regained his consciousness, but after his mind cleared up a little, he realized that everything around him had changed.

The silk shop in front of him was on fire, the left side of the store had already been destroyed by the explosion, and the right side of the pub was also sealed by the flames. As for the rice shop behind him, it was now on fire.

”It's gone, why is it all gone …” Boss Mi did not know where to go with his flustered hands. The exploding points in his field of vision had already formed into pieces, continuously spreading through the city. Black figures flew everywhere in the sky, the black smoke and dust from the explosions had already covered the entire city.

The city had already fallen into complete chaos. The streets were filled with terrified civilians, and two torchlight humanoid monsters had even jumped out of the streets as they screamed miserably.

”Oh heavens, what sin did the Ryukyu commit? ”Heavens, why did you punish us like that …” Boss Mi knelt on the street and cried loudly.

The brutality of the French infuriated all the guards, and the gun emplacements on the hilltops that guarded the city began to fire angry fires at the enemy ships on the surface of the sea.

”Fire …” Fire... ”Everyone, don't stop. Continue shooting …” The black gunner Mai Kesi was already going crazy with anger. If the previous four days had been a contest between soldiers, then today, the French bombardment of the civilians had completely ignited the fury in the defending army's heart.

”Bastard, if you have the ability then come at me. What's the point in attacking commoners …” ”Bastard!” Countless soldiers screamed their lungs out, but the French could not hear them at all. Instead, the scale of the bombardment continued to increase.

The sound of the cannons rumbling could be heard as the shore defense cannons shot towards the French battleship with their highest firing rate. Rather than saying that they wanted to fight the enemy, it would be more accurate to say that these cannons wanted to use their attacks to attract the French people's firepower.

”Fire at laozi …” ”If you have the ability, come at us …” Countless Forces nouvelles soldiers raised their middle fingers and cursed at the Frenchman as they operated their cannons.

However, it was strange today. The French did not even bother to fight with the cannon emplacement. The battleships outside the port were circling the sea nonstop, and they had no pattern to speak of. This caused the firing accuracy of the cannon emplacement to be reduced to almost zero.

The target of the shore defense cannon was a few warships that were constantly moving far away from the sea. It was extremely difficult to aim at, so the intense shooting could not hurt the French battleship except for creating splashes on the sea.
