The icy seal of the Qing people has advanced to a place less than three kilometers away from us. Wouldn't it be that in one day tomorrow, all our positions will be lost?"

Dalang Changjiang Togawa of the Neon Seventh Division has no other options. It is obviously impossible to count on the support of the Eighth Division.The situation over there is not much better than them. If this goes on, the entire Sasebo Castle will fall before the reinforcements of the four divisions arrive.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, the firepower of the Qing people is too fierce. The army of our Great Neon Empire is no less advanced than them, but they don’t give us melee opportunities at all. They have been suppressing us with long-range firepower. The warriors sacrificed like this."

A staff officer said so.

He attributed their failure to the sharper artillery fire of the Qing Army. Although this was an important reason, it was not the reason for their failure. Even without these artillery, the overall military quality of the Qing Marine Corps was higher than that of theirs. It is that the weapons of both sides are at the same level, and it will not change the outcome of their failure, but it is true that the casualties of the Qing army will increase geometrically.

"If this is the case, then we will start a night battle, so that their artillery advantage will not be able to be used. We must drive out the Qing army. Our reinforcements are coming soon. All the Qing people drove down to the sea."

Naturally, Edo Kawataro would not admit that they were weaker than the Qing's army. You must know that they came from the Satsuma clan and belonged to the stronger neon army, and the Qing's regular army has not yet landed.

Moreover, field battles seemed to be their only way. If during the day and the Qing army had a head-on hard fight, perhaps they would wipe out the entire army tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

"Hay!"

The staff officer should be there at once.

However, before they could launch the attack, the mortarers of Qing Dynasty thought about it first. They carried out a cover attack on the positions behind the neon and launched an attack on the frontline positions and strongholds. Obviously they also expected that the neon would take the opportunity to launch. Attack, and let the troops that had been fully rested during the day attack first.

Immediately, the Neon people also launched a counterattack. They almost threw in all their troops, launched an assault, and wanted to regain the positions lost during the day and expelled the Marines of the Qing Dynasty from the city.The two sides launched a fierce battle, and even some positions were once precarious because of the superiority of the number of troops invested by Neon.

But when the firepower of the Qing army was focused on coverage, the attack of the Neon 7th Division was thwarted after the reinforcements were sent. They were exhausted after encountering heavy casualties, and their authority collapsed. Instead, they were defeated by the Marines. Followed behind and seized a lot of positions.

When the dawn came the next day, the army announced that the neon had lost their last chance. If they did not choose to evacuate at this time and abandon the entire Sasebo Castle, then they would have no chance.

The soldiers of the 1st Army Group of the Imperial Army who were waiting in the open sea could use these piers to land directly in downtown Fukuoka.

At this time, the First Army had arrived at the port of Sasebo. Although there were not many piers repaired in the civilian port area at this time, it was enough for some small troop carriers and cargo ships to dock.Make a novel www.zuoxs.com

The speed is a little slower, at least their forces are continuously increasing.

Due to the fierce battle in the previous night, the two sides did not break out too much friction in the morning, but the Neon people knew that the general attack of the Qing Dynasty would come in the afternoon.

Sixth Army Command

"What's the matter with the reinforcements? The army of the Qing people has already begun to land, but why there is still no news about the four divisions that reinforced us?"

Edogawa Taro couldn't help feeling depressed, and logically, even if the reinforcements did not arrive, they should be very close.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we just got the news. After we learned that the army of the Qing Dynasty had begun to land, the four divisions that had reinforced us have withdrawn. They will no longer support us." The staff officer also looked depressed. Said.

"What? The Qing people's army has landed, shouldn't they come more? Are they going to die?"

Edogawa Dalang couldn't help but said angrily.He already understood that they and the Eighth Division had been abandoned.

"Your Excellency, division commander, if several other divisions arrive, they will have to invest more troops in a decisive battle with the Qing. This is the range of the Qing naval guns. The headquarters should be out of consideration for this. Unwilling to engage the Qing navy’s main artillery in a decisive battle with the Qing people. You must know that the Qing navy’s capital ships can already be transferred here."

The staff gave a rough analysis and explained the whole story.

Although Edogawa Taro was not reconciled, he also understood that what the staff was saying was the truth. It was obviously unwise to start a decisive battle with the Qing forces here, but he only had 7,000 or 8,000 people in his hands at this time. Facing the main force of the Qing Dynasty, even their Marine Corps has no chance of winning.

At this time, Ushimaman also prepared all the troops on Kyushu Island to fight a decisive battle with the First Army of the Qing Dynasty. Of course, he was still urging the headquarters to support him, and the Army Department was secretly staring at the pressure. Shipped a batch of artillery.

"What can we do now? We have been abandoned. Without reinforcements, there is no chance of winning."

At this time, Edo Kawataro is already Liushen Wuzhu.

"Or, shall we evacuate?"

The staff officer gritted his teeth and said what he was thinking...
