Chapter 1103 Victory Reunion
Chapter 1103 Victory Reunion
7pm, Town Hall Square.
&34;Boom...&34;
The heavy sound of tracks came from four directions. In the afterglow of the setting sun, four steel torrents slowly converged here.
To the east is Ike's Skeleton Division.
To the north is Li Feier's revitalization division,
To the west is Otto's Northern Division,
To the south was Klinge's Imperial Division.
Nearly 100,000 armored troops and thousands of armored vehicles gathered in this square, which symbolizes the power center of Fuso.
&34;Boom!&34;
A cannon shot.
Ike stood on the Tiger tank and raised his arms. This was a sign of victory.
&34;Boom! Boom! Boom!&34;
The four armored divisions opened fire at the same time, and the sound of artillery fire echoed in the sky over Kyoto like a victory salute.
&34;Long live China!&34;
"Victory!"
&34;Kyoto has fallen!&34;
Cheers came and went.
The four teachers met in front of the City Hall:
&34;Ike, Dongyang District has been cleared.&34;
&34;Lee Phil, full control of the North.&34;
&34;Otto, there is no resistance in the west.&34;
"Klinghe, the Yunwei Division in the south has been destroyed."
They smiled at each other. This city had been completely conquered.
In the square, soldiers began to raise the Chinese flag. The bright flag fluttered in the breeze before nightfall.
At their feet was the symbol of power of the Fuso Empire, the Kyoto City Hall. This majestic building was now covered with scars. It witnessed Fuso's final struggle in this city, and also witnessed its fall.
The four armored divisions achieved brilliant results:
The Changyu Division was almost completely wiped out.
The Lianhe Division lost more than half of its troops.
The Zhengshan Division was disbanded.
The Yunwei Division surrendered as a whole.
More than 50,000 Fuso troops were killed, wounded or captured, and Kyoto's most elite defense force was completely destroyed on this day.
&34;Send to headquarters! &34; Ike ordered, &34;Kyoto has fallen! &34;
As night fell, China's military flag flew high above the municipal square.
At this moment, the whole world will know:
Kyoto, the political center of Fusang,
This city symbolizes the power of the Fuso Empire.
It has been trampled under the feet of China's steel torrent.
A new era is about to begin.
City Hall Command Center.
"Current battle situation: The four Class A divisions have collapsed, and the remaining 34 or so defeated troops are hiding in the Imperial Palace area." Klinghe looked at the latest battle report, "They have built three lines of defense around the palace, and it seems that they are ready to fight to the death."
"Humph, it's just a fight between trapped beasts." Li Kaier sneered, "I suggest we attack immediately and take it down in one fell swoop!"
Ike also nodded: "Morale is high now, why don't we..."
"No." Klinger interrupted them, "The president has ordered that Kyoto's industrial facilities must be preserved. The military factories and machinery factories here will all be our war machines in the future."
He stood up and walked to the sand table:
"But..." A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "The Emperor's Palace is not within the protection range."
"Pass my order!" Klinghe's voice was cold, "Mobilize all firepower:
The Rocket Battalion of the Totenkopf Division,
The heavy artillery regiment of the revitalization division,
The Northland Division's "Thor's Hammer",
The Rocket Regiment of the Imperial Division. &34;
"Push all to the front line?" Otto's eyes lit up.
"That's right." Klinghe pointed to the location of the Emperor's Palace and said, "Let's show the Japanese what real firepower coverage is!"
Soon, the firepower units of the four divisions began to take position:
42 Nebelwerfer rocket launchers,
36 150mm heavy guns,
12 203 mm "Thor's Hammer" cannons,
And dozens of artillery pieces of various types.
"Ready!" Klinghe picked up the telescope.
Under the dusk sky, nearly a hundred heavy artillery pieces turned their guns and aimed at the palace that symbolized the Fuso imperial power.
"Let them see what a storm of steel is!" Klinghe raised his hand, "Fire!"
&34;BOOM!!!&34;
Hundreds of artillery pieces opened fire at the same time. Amid the deafening roar, countless shells whizzed toward the Imperial Palace.
The dense explosions dyed the dusk a fiery red. After a round of salvos, a huge gap appeared in the outer wall of the Emperor's Palace.
"Go on!" Klinghe said coldly, "Don't save ammunition, let every Fuso remember this moment!"
&34;Boom! Boom! Boom!&34;
Artillery fire rained down. The exquisite palace buildings were reduced to ruins in the explosion. The walls that symbolized the imperial power were blown to pieces.
The Fuso soldiers behind the defense line watched all this in amazement. The imperial palace they were so proud of was crumbling bit by bit in this steel storm.
&34;This...this is China's firepower!&34;
&34;Your Majesty...&34;
Fear began to spread among the fleeing troops. When they saw the building they most revered was reduced to ashes in the artillery fire, the last will of resistance collapsed.
Klinghe put down the telescope and sneered: "Let them see clearly. This is the price of provoking China!"
&34;Boom! Boom! Boom!&34;
The dense artillery fire dyed the twilight blood red.
The 203mm "Thor's Hammer" shells first hit the main gate of the imperial city. The huge vermilion gate was shattered in the explosion, and hundreds of years of sandalwood fragments flew everywhere along with copper nails.
&34;Ahhh!!!&34;
A squadron of soldiers hiding behind the city gate were instantly knocked over by the air wave, and their broken limbs and armor fragments were thrown into the air.
The 150mm heavy artillery group aimed at the wall of the imperial city. After a round of volleys, the thick wall collapsed like paper. Dozens of soldiers were buried alive by the collapsed wall.
&34;Boom! Boom! Boom!&34;
42 Nebelwerfers opened fire simultaneously. Hundreds of rockets whizzed into the interior of the imperial city. The huge explosion overturned the exquisite palace, and the gilded glazed tiles turned into fragments in the flames.
&34;Run!&34;
&34;Your Majesty...&34;
&34;Help!&34;
Screams were heard one after another. The defeated soldiers fled in all directions under the artillery fire. Some tried to hide in the palace, but were blown away by the explosion of rockets. Some wanted to find shelter, but under such intensive firepower, no building could withstand a single blow.
The iconic buildings in the imperial city collapsed one after another:
The gate of the Chaohe Palace was blown to pieces.
The golden roof of the Hall of Supreme Harmony collapsed.
The Imperial Garden was reduced to scorched earth.
The Sutra Library was burning in flames.
"Continue!" Klinghe issued a cold order, "Leave no blind spots!"
A new round of salvos began, this time with the firepower concentrated in the center of the Imperial City.
&34;Boom!&34;
A 203mm shell hit the throne room. The huge explosion blew this symbol of imperial power into pieces. The gilded dragon throne was blown away by the air wave and smashed into pieces on the square.
&34;Ahhh!!!&34;
There was another scream. A team of guards trying to protect the throne room was engulfed in the explosion.
Soldiers were fleeing frantically everywhere. Some ran away with their heads in their hands, some knelt down and begged for mercy, and some stood there in a daze until they were blown away by the blast.
&34;Surrender! We surrender!&34;
&34;Stop hitting me! Please!&34;
&34;The Emperor...&34;
But the shelling continued.
What Klinghe wanted was not only victory, but also to make every Fuso citizen remember this moment: the imperial city that they were proud of, the building they revered most, was nothing more than a pile of bricks and tiles that could be destroyed at will in the face of China's steel torrent.
When night fell, the once glorious imperial city had turned into ruins.
Among the ruins, 30,000 defeated soldiers were either dead, wounded, or kneeling in surrender. They witnessed the collapse of their faith with their own eyes, which made them more desperate than death.
