"Major, the road ahead is very difficult, I am worried that there will be ambush."

"Yes, I found out too." Major Swede nodded: "Mr. Zongzhen once said that those Japanese monkeys are very cunning, and we must be vigilant anytime, anywhere."

Shi Weide dared not be careless about this operation. This was the first military operation since the founding of the Major Regiment. Any failure would be unacceptable.

At the same time, this is a reflection of the honor of an officer...

Someone brought the marching map, Major Sweed looked carefully, and then said to Mansoura: "In order to avoid ambushing, I want to divide the major regiment into two. I will lead two hundred men to march from the front, and you will take the remaining soldiers around the flanks. Once we are attacked, you will reinforce us as quickly as possible... the number is too small." Mansoura said seriously: "Major, I suggest you bring more soldiers."

"No." Swede waved his hand: "Secretary...ah, I always forget that you have been promoted to captain by me... Captain, you must know that if there are too many people, then those Japanese monkeys dare not appear. I always feel that they are following us, like the annoying ghost, we must teach them a lesson... Swede is very confident in his predictions.

This is fighting on the Japanese land. The major regiment is not familiar with everything here and lives apart. It is easy to give those Japanese monkeys an opportunity to take advantage of it.

What I have to do now is to use myself as bait, trick out the damn Japanese monkeys, and then give them a hard blow.

Instead of waiting passively, it is better to take the initiative...

Major Swede's judgment was not wrong. It was indeed a "ghost" that was always following them, looking for an opportunity to annihilate the major regiment. The general of Shimazu Konoha's surprise attack team was directed by:

Oshima Hirasaburo!

Hisaburo Oshima has never found the most suitable opportunity. This team of more than 1,000 people has a neat lineup. It is in an orderly manner, with strict prevention, and no flaws are revealed. The surprise attack team commanded by Hisaburo Oshima followed them all the way. He was also disappointed all the way...

Every day of delay, the enemy is one step closer to Tsurumaru Castle. Oshima Hirasaburo, who doesn't want to continue waiting, has decided to take a risk, and he has set his goal on the path he must pass: Kuronozu!

Whether he can succeed is not sure... General, the enemy is divided!" Just as Heizaburo Oshima was worried, his most trusted subordinate, Kanetsu Watanabe, brought him ecstatic news.

Oshima Hirasaburo stood up and said, "Are you really splitting the troops?"

"Yes, the troops are really divided." Watanabe Tanyu nodded with certainty: "An enemy of two hundred people is coming towards Kuronozu, while the other main force is heading west."

"Okay!" Oshima Hirasaburo slapped his samurai sword hard: "It is now that you can annihilate this army and consume their strength bit by bit. Kill two hundred people in Kurotsu, and then immediately follow the large army and find an opportunity to fight them!"

At this moment, Hirasaburo Oshima was excited. He seemed to have seen Amaterasu put the best opportunity in front of him... Kuronozu.

Shi Weide knew that there must be an enemy waiting for him here, and he firmly believed in his judgment.

There are indeed fewer troops of two hundred people, but if they can be used properly, they can still play a very important role.

The person who walked with him was Meng Jiu, who was the best performer in the major regiment, and Shi Weide also awarded the rank of Second Lieutenant Meng Jiu in his own way.

To be fair, Meng Jiu has not yet adapted to the title of "Second Lieutenant". These red barbarians are really strange, and even their official names are so inexplicable.

How loud do my Ming Dynasty’s names “President and Guard” sound?

Unfortunately, who is now in the Major League?

Although Meng Jiu was mumbling in his heart, he still did not neglect his duties. He knew very well that the purpose of this march was to use these 200 people to lure out the enemies hidden in the dark.

After entering Kuronozu, everyone's alertness rose to the peak...

The speed of traveling is getting slower and more cautious... Boom-boom-"

With the roar of these two muskets, what should come is still... Hidden! Hidden!"

With the loud calls from officers such as Shi Weide and Meng Jiu, the soldiers of the well-trained Major Regiment quickly found their hiding place and launched a counterattack as soon as possible.

This was the first battle after Major Swede's regiment landed on the Japanese island, and it was also the first time they encountered the enemy's musket troops.

From the roar of the muskets, Swede quickly determined that the muskets used by the enemy were already behind, and that their number was obviously not large.

Shi Weide was relieved. Although he had few people, he could hold on until Captain Mansura's reinforcements arrived...Defense, defense!" Shi Weide calmly gave his order: "Don't let those damn Japanese monkeys approach, Captain Mansura will kick their butts very hard soon!"

The soldiers of the Major Regiment smiled knowingly. They formed a temporary defense line calmly, and then waited for the enemy to appear...

After another scattered gunfire, the sneak attackers finally revealed their true faces...

A large number of short Japanese pirates began to appear from their hiding places, and then approached here carefully.

"Mustrators--The First Team Preparation--"

Amid Meng Jiu's call of long voices, the musketeers of Major Swede's regiment appeared. The soldiers wearing jackets, leather shoes, and wide-edged soft hats half-squatted on the ground and raised the muskets in their hands.

Meng Jiu looked at the opposite side coldly, waiting coldly for them to get closer... Soon, these damn Japanese monkeys will taste the power of the Major League...

The Japanese pirates did not smell the danger. They made shouts that no one could understand. They waved the samurai sword in their hands and rushed towards the place frantically. Their few musketeers were placed at the end.

"Prepare—" "Prepare—"

The officers in the major regiment were all calm and solemn, just like Meng Jiu. A "preparation" sound that elongated the sounds kept coming from their mouths.

"put!"

Finally, the word burst out from the officers' mouths.

The musket roared...

In the smoke of gunpowder, countless Japanese pirates fell in an instant. And this was just the beginning.

"Military soldiers, second team!"

In this command, the second team of musketeers replaced their companions' positions. There was almost no time to breathe and adjust, and the second round of muskets began to roar.

The Japanese pirates kept falling down. Although they wanted to rush to the enemy very much, it would obviously be a very difficult task...

The soldiers of the 200 major regiment showed that they were well-trained and calm in the face of danger. Although most of them were on the battlefield for the first time, Major Swede's training that was so strict that they were almost cruel was finally very useful here!

Gunshots rang out, and the Japanese pirates fell down.

The Japanese pirates who were originally full of confidence and flocked to the ground fleeing after continuous casualties, leaving only the bodies on the ground...

The soldiers of Major Swede's regiment did not pursue, but began to inspect casualties and gunpowder in an orderly manner.

This is what Red Barbarian officers such as Shi Weide have requested the soldiers. When the situation of the enemy and us is unknown, it is strictly forbidden to pursue rashly. Many times, attack is the final defense, and defense is also the best attack... General, the enemy's firearms are very fierce!" Watanabe Tanyu retreated angrily. During the attack just now, even he was almost injured: "We lost thirty-eight people... We have 700 people, and we can afford the losses of thirty-eight people!" Oshima Hirasaburo's eyes were red, and he didn't care about any casualties at all: "They only have so many people and only a few muskets. What is our determination to fight to the end? Can those muskets stop our confidence in winning?"

Watanabe Tanyu didn't know what to say...

The Satsuma family also has muskets, and even dozens of muskets are in the team commanded by the General himself, but Watanabe Tanyu has to admit that it is impossible to compare with the other party at all.

Not only are the opponent's firearms fierce, but their calmness and tactics when using them are all things that Kanatsu Watanabe has never seen before.

"Attack again!" Oshima Hirasaburo had a gloomy face: "Use human life to break through them, fail once, attack again. Believe me, under our courage, the enemy will soon collapse!"

Unfortunately, Hirasaburo Oshima did not get what he wanted.

The surprise attack team launched three attacks in a row, each time they suffered heavy losses under the major regiment's firearms. Once they finally rushed up, but those enemies who used muskets could actually install the knife at the muzzle for use.

This was really shocking... In Watanabe's imagination, as long as they rushed to the front of the musketeers, the weapons in their hands would become fire sticks, but what happened now is unimaginable... The musketeers not only did not collapse, but instead used this musketeer with knives to fight against the rushing enemies, and successfully drove all the Japanese back and secured their positions.

When Watanabe Tansuo was depressed, Swede was also waiting patiently.

The enemy had appeared, and he firmly believed that the main force commanded by Mansula had begun to approach here and would soon launch an attack.

By that time, these Japanese monkeys will learn the lesson they deserve...

The enemy's new attack began, and this time seemed very different from the previous few times, with the Japanese monkeys almost investing all their strength.

Muskets were ringing one after another, constantly killing every enemy rushing up.

However, the fire speed of the musket was slow, and in front of the enemy attacking like a tide, the loading of the musket gradually could not keep up.

"Battle--"

Swede issued such an order for the second time today.

The bayonet was installed at the muzzle, and the current platoon completed the last round of shooting, and the abominable Japanese monkeys had already rushed up.

The soldiers of the major regiment were not panicked. They had already had the experience of hand-to-hand combat for the first time. They formed small defense circles, and with the assistance of the spearmen, they continued to kill and injure every enemy rushing up...

Musketeers and spearmen, which formed the entire Major Swede regiment and also formed a steel defense line. Compared with those scattered Japanese, the combat qualities shown by these soldiers are amazing.

Just as the two sides were strangling each other, waves of drums and music came over...

The major soldiers in the fight burst into cheers, and even Swede's face showed a smile.

Captain Mansula and the reinforcements he commanded finally arrived!

On the flank of Kuronozu, there were a large number of soldiers wearing jackets, leather shoes, wide-brimmed hoodies, and muskets.

Now, it's time to fight back!

Give those hateful Japanese monkeys some good looks!

Musketeers and spearmen all over the mountains rushed towards the surprise attack team commanded by Hirasaburo Oshima. Immediately, the battlefield was one-sided.

The musketeers first shot the enemy with the muskets in their hands, and then installed bayonets and rushed fiercely at the Japanese monkeys.

Oshima Hirasaburo was stunned. After watching him pay a heavy price, he finally rushed up, but the situation was reversed instantly.

The surprise attack teams on the battlefield were in chaos and fled one after another, and there was no order at all.

One arm was injured and was running back at the bleeding Kamio Watanabe. On his panicked face, Hirasaburo Oshima knew that everything was irreparable...

The surprise attack team suffered the worst defeat, with about 200 people killed, more than 100 captured, and the rest were all dispersed. However, the general of the surprise attack team, Hirasaburo Oshima, escaped.

This has to be said to make people feel a little regretful, and it is not so willing to keep this person.

But what does this matter? They will meet again in the future.

Theoretically, the strategy of the surprise attack team was not wrong, but they were completely unaware of the development trend of the firearms and the huge power of the firearms on the battlefield.

Therefore, their failure has become a natural thing.
