C689 Osaka Storm Eye (2/2)
Although the Changzhou vassal had been tasked with leading the charge, the area of the Osaka City was not small. The other city walls also needed the support of the Samoan, Tu Zuofeng and Fatty Zuofeng's soldiers, they could at least attract a group of enemies.
Xi Xianglongsheng let out a long sigh. The War Country's famous city, Stone Mountain Temple, was indeed well-deserved of its reputation. Its ability to defend was simply terrifying … It seems that we can't not go all out. Let's let our reserve team go! ”
At three in the afternoon, Xi Xianglongsheng finally gave the order to attack, and the last few troops were sent to the battlefield, completing all of Tokugawa's plans.
On the road from Bechuchi to Osaka City, Xie Duowan rode a horse and was in a meeting with the entire French officers regiment. They were less than an hour away, and the army's current state was perfect.
”Sir, although these soldiers are a bit stupid and tired from training, they really listen to orders …” ”After such a long march, not a single person spoke, and even the coughing had to be done carefully …”
”No one questioned our orders, and no one complained. A rice ball was actually today's lunch, and they didn't seem to be satisfied at all!”
”Oh god, how could I not be satisfied? I saw those soldiers eating rice ball with my own eyes and laughed out loud. I can't imagine, a rice ball with seaweed and sour plums was actually eaten by those soldiers on the road. How could he eat until he's blissful?”
”Haha, that's because you don't know what these people usually eat. Those are all pig food. There are even many indescribable pieces of rice with bran added to it …” ”In the eyes of these soldiers, eating a mouthful of rice is already a holiday!”
Hearing the discussions of the army officials under him, Xie Duowan's lips slightly raised, ”Savage and backward nations will not bring any welfare to the people. God bless Europe, allowing us to enter the age of reason where civilization is strong, the light of industry was the first to shine in Europe, we finally got rid of the thousands of years of backwardness …”
”Alright, gentlemen, let us fight for the benefit of the France today. After this victory, Japan will become a colony of the France, and the general will become our puppet!”
”Long live France! ”Long live His Majesty the Emperor!”
The surrounding soldiers did not understand French at all, and none of them knew what these people were talking about. They were even smiling idiotically at the instructor, because in their hearts, these French instructor s were god-like people, and the way they fought was something that even the general would praise.
”Speed up, speed up …” Before 4 o'clock, I have to feel the Osaka City's presence. I have to jog to get up and warm up … ” French officers rode their horses and moved back and forth around the infantry unit. The obedient Japanese soldiers started to jog, their equipment and bodies jumping up and down with the pace.
The battle of Osaka City had already reached its climax. The new army on the relay road started to speed up as the navy of the Ocean Tokugawa was guarding Osaka Bay, and a little further south, there was even Xiao Letian's fleet who was taking advantage of the wind and waves.
Osaka City had already become a giant whirlpool, attracting all the forces in Japan. The outcome of this battle would definitely change the fate of Japan.
People around the Osaka City had already lost count of the number of spies here. There were all sorts of spies from the famous Japanese ninjas, Xiao Letian's intelligence officer, and the spies from all over the Western Powers. Countless pairs of eyes were staring fixedly at the battle.
Countless mysterious figures also appeared on the many islands in the inner sea, one of which were Xiao Letian's elites.
”Look …” The Tokugawa's water army started to use cannons to support the city's defense. Oh my god, the Southwest Allied Army is going crazy, they are trying to take the pier … ”
On a hill not too far away from Osaka City, the hundred over Central Intelligence Agency s had already occupied this place. The spies that were initially hiding on this hill had all been killed, and their corpses were buried under the big trees.
”It's 3: 45 now. According to our previous calculations, the reinforcements from Tokugawa should also be here?” Just as he was talking, the intelligence officer beside him suddenly shouted, ”There's a signal from the other side! ”Quick Record...”
In this era where there was no radio, information transmission on the battlefield had always been a problem, but the people of the ISI were very smart. Other than raising a large number of pigeons to transmit information, they had also invented a kind of lighting signal.
At night, the oil lamp was wrapped in silver foil. Using the reflection of the silver foil, the light was focused on a small window, and the window had a very simple valve. Through the rhythmic switching and closing, it produced a long and short light signal.
Although it was cloudy today, it didn't affect the mirror contact between the fixed outposts. The light that flashed across the bay just now was another set of urgent messages sent by the intelligence officer s.
”The reinforcements have arrived at the battlefield. They will enter the battlefield ten minutes later …” Prepare for the Prime Minister's fleet … ” Very quickly, the lighting signal finished its translation.
Everyone was so excited that they were rubbing their hands together. They could finally try out the newest equipment on Central Intelligence Agency.
